It was late at night. Atop the spire of the Central Star Holy Court's high tower, the copper bells hung swayed gently in the breeze, emitting melodious sounds that echoed the movement of the sea of ​​stars in the distance.

The office area seemed a little deserted at this time, with only a few offices still having lights on.

A loud slap was heard, and Lin Bai's palm landed heavily on Ling Lie's cheek, and the sound abruptly broke the silence in the office area.

Ling Lie staggered and fell painfully on the cold, hard ground. A red and swollen patch quickly appeared on his face.

Lin Bai did not give up. He stepped forward and stepped hard on Ling Lie's face with his leather boot. Ling Lie's head was knocked to the ground with a dull sound.

In sharp contrast to Lin Bai's rude behavior was the warm smile on his face. His voice was gentle and carried an unquestionable command: "Ling Lie, you know that I have always been very satisfied with your work performance. So, I am willing to give you a chance to speak again. Tell me, what is the real reason why Ren Qing returned to Central Star?"

Ling Lie endured the humiliation and the burning pain on his face, and said in an unusually humble manner, "Archbishop, please forgive me. What I just said was indeed a lie."

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is the truth?"

Ling Lie bit his lower lip hard and answered in a low voice: "Ren Qing...he was not sent by Luo Tiantian to monitor me. He has always...always coveted me, and when he knew that Luo Tiantian had left the Central Star, he thought he had a chance. He asked Luo Tiantian to allow him to come back to protect me, in fact, in order to get close to me and stay with me."

Lin Bai showed a disdainful expression, loosened his feet, sneered and said: "You really have no self-awareness. Does Ren Qing still think he is the military god he used to be? A useless person who has lost his wings actually dares to covet members of parliament..."

Ling Lie knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and confessed to Lin Bai: "I'm sorry, I lied because I was worried that you would hate me. I shouldn't have given him such a fantasy, please punish me."

Lin Bai sneered: "Ling Lie, I'm not that kind of old-fashioned and mean master. As long as you do your job well, I don't mind your private life."

Just as a hint of gratitude flashed across Ling Lie's face, the punishment ring around his neck was suddenly tightened. A strong electric current passed through Ling Lie's body. He fell to the ground in pain, his body twitching involuntarily.

Lin Bai looked down at Ling Lie on the ground and warned him coldly: "I won't punish you for your private life, but remember, what I can't tolerate the most is lies. You can never say a single untrue word to me."

Ling Lie nodded painfully under the torture of the punishment ring: "I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again..."

Strands of black thorn-like mental tentacles slowly stretched out from behind Lin Bai, wrapping around Ling Lie like a living thing, tightly binding his body and hanging him in the air.

Lin Bai had an evil smile on his face, and he said slowly: "Although I rarely punish believers personally, I admire your status, beauty, and ability to make money. So congratulations, you have the honor to experience being punished by me personally."

Feeling the pain of the black thorns piercing his skin, Ling Lie bit his lower lip hard - in order to avoid being bullied by the male insects, he had made unimaginable efforts, but now, he still could not escape.

Lin Bai's wrist computer suddenly vibrated, and an urgent message popped up. He quickly shifted his gaze from Ling Lie to the computer screen. It was a message from Fa Xiang, and the content was brief: "Master, the eggshell has just cracked, and it will hatch soon."

Lin Bai's brows tightened impatiently.

He turned around and said coldly to Ling Lie who was still lying on the ground, "Remember today's punishment. If you can make up for your sins with merit in the future, I can consider exempting you from the punishment. But if you don't complete your mission well..."

The black tentacles wrapped around Ling Lie strangled him tightly, and then threw him to the ground covered in blood.

Lin Bai didn't even look at Ling Lie again and left the office in a hurry.

He didn't notice that outside the office window, a sub-female slave was numbly performing her daily cleaning work. Her movements were mechanical and orderly, as if she was unaware of what was happening in the office.

However, in Luo Tiantian's spiritual sea, the spiritual projection of this sub-female servant was standing in front of Bishop Liang Xiao, and her eyes revealed a wisdom that would never be exposed in front of a female insect.

He reported to Bishop Liang Xiao everything that happened in Lin Bai's office, including Lin Bai's punishment of Ling Lie and the news that the insect eggs were about to hatch.

"Are you sure that Archbishop Lin Bai used the Punishment Ring to restrict Councillor Ling Lie's actions?!" Liang Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

"I'm sure of that." The sub-female servant nodded firmly. "I have worked as a servant in a male insect's home for many years. I am very familiar with the scene where a male insect uses a punishment ring to restrict a female insect."

"Archbishop Lin Bai...there is absolutely no way he can get the authority of Councillor Ling Lie's punishment ring, right?" Liang Xiao's voice trembled a little.

"Yes, according to the regulations it is absolutely impossible. Only the male lord can obtain the authority to punish the female insect. Even the Son of God cannot obtain the authority of his own believers." The sub-female servant nodded.

"If he obtained the authority of Councillor Ling's punishment ring through some special channel, then it is very likely that... he not only has Councillor Ling's authority, but also the authority of more powerful female insects."

Liang Xiao felt cold all over. He quickly calmed himself down and ordered in a deep voice, "Notify all the sub-female believers in the entire Central Star. Everyone should closely monitor Archbishop Lin Bai's every move and report every detail of the roads he has traveled, the people he has met, the things he has done, and the things he has said."

When Zhu Sha woke up, he saw a bed that was obviously unused. An inexplicable panic seized his heart, and he got up in a hurry, his worried mood making his movements seem a little hesitant.

However, the moment he turned around, he saw Luo Tiantian sleeping soundly at his desk. Luo Tiantian had been concentrating on revising the bill these days, which was really hard for him.

Zhu Sha used the high priest's secret method to change his appearance and changed his name to Zi Bo, just to be able to stay with Luo Tiantian without being discovered.

They had been separated for a long time, and Zhu Sha was eager to be with Luo Tiantian.

Even if he is regarded as an enemy by Luo Tiantian, he will stay by Luo Tiantian's side like a dragon guarding treasure.

He was lucky that Luo Tiantian didn't dislike him, and he could even see obvious appreciation on Luo Tiantian's face when they were talking about the bill.

Zhu Sha's eyes fell on the new proposal written by Luo Tiantian on the table last night, and he couldn't help but think - abolish the privileges of the nobility? This is something that no star field civilization has tried.

He is worthy of being the Son of Light. Everyone in the Interstellar Alliance has thought about it for so long, but none of them has thought as thoroughly as Luo Tiantian.

Zhu Sha leaned over, picked up Luo Tiantian with great care, and put him carefully on the bed.

Zhu Sha looked at Luo Tiantian quietly. After staying up all night, he slept peacefully with messy silver hair.

"Tiantian..." Zhu Sha whispered, gently pushing his hair apart, her voice soft.

He gently kissed Luo Tiantian on the cheek, then got up and went to the bathroom.

Zhu Sha didn't notice that after he turned around, Luo Tiantian's eyes suddenly opened.

Luo Tiantian just woke up and found Zi Bo kissing him secretly.

Zi Bo's lips are soft and have a refreshing fragrance.

Luo Tiantian's heart was beating very fast and his body was inexplicably excited as if it had absorbed a large amount of pheromones.

But this was clearly not the smell of pheromones - ever since the pheromones were sealed, he could no longer smell the pheromones on female insects.

Luo Tiantian pinched his arm hard, using the pain to stop his strange reaction.

Zi Bo was the guard who imprisoned him and the leader of the enemy army that invaded his territory. How could he arouse such strong emotions in him?

Could this be the legendary Stockholm syndrome?
