Zerg Predator

The waters in the palace were too treacherous. No one, as shrewd as Ling Lie or as experienced as Cao Zhan, could have noticed that the sunny and cheerful Archbishop Linbai would actually punish the female monarch in public.

Although it is common for male Zerg to punish female Zerg in the Zerg Empire, it usually happens in the punishment room in the name of adding fun. The situation just now was really weird.

"It's normal for the male insect to break the female monarch's arm, right? It's also reasonable that she didn't have time to treat him because the Insect King summoned her. Did the Archbishop conceal this matter to save face for the Insect King?"

Cao Zhan had a very good impression of Lin Bai and couldn't help but make excuses for him.

"The level of Fa Xiang is not low, right? Is the self-healing ability so poor?" Ling Lie still felt something was wrong.

"Shh..."

The door of the Insect King's office was open, and the Insect King was waiting for them inside.

"Luo Tiantian from the Holy Son Academy, Ling Lie, a member of the parliament, and Cao Zhan, the military marshal, request to see you."

The commander of the imperial guards at the office door glanced coldly at Luo Tiantian and the other two, and reported on their behalf.

"Please come in."

Following the instructions, Luo Tiantian walked into a spacious room with a huge table in the center and a mural behind it depicting the glorious history of the Zerg.

The Insect King sat on an exquisitely carved throne. He had an upright and slightly plump figure, but he was not as lax as ordinary male insects. He was full of majesty as a superior.

When his eyes fell on Luo Tiantian and the other two who came to meet him, a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Welcome, are you the newly crowned richest man in the empire, Luo Tiantian?" The Insect King's voice was gentle but powerful.

"As the rumors say, she has a beauty that is rarely seen in the Empire."

"Greetings to His Majesty the Insect Emperor!" Luo Tiantian, Ling Lie and Cao Zhan saluted together.

Audience with the Insect Emperor is a special ritual. Under the imperial system where males are respected, there is no room for female insects to speak in front of the Insect Emperor.

Luo Tiantian remembered what Ling Lie and Cao Zhan had told him before:

The Insect King is an experienced politician who can skillfully balance various forces when it does not harm his own interests; but once someone touches his interests, he will use ruthless and cruel means to the extreme.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." There was a subtle sharpness in the Insect King's voice.

"I've heard of you a long time ago, Luo Tiantian. You are the first son of the nobility in the Holy Court in many years. After being accompanied by such an outstanding female monarch as Ling Lie and such a powerful female servant as Ren Qing, you did not drop out of school to enjoy yourself. This is very rare."

Although the Insect King's words were praise, Ling Lie felt a tightness in his heart.

The Insect King asked this because he wanted to test how ambitious Luo Tiantian was and how much power he wanted to obtain.

If Luo Tiantian has no ambition, it means that he has no foothold and cannot be controlled; if his ambition is too big, under the reputation of "the legendary Holy Son", he will pose a threat to the Insect King.

Luo Tiantian blushed slightly, and seemed a little shy:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I didn't drop out because everyone at the Holy Son Academy was so nice to me. Don't be fooled by me, but from childhood to adulthood, I have never met so many people who are willing to accompany me and treat me well."

His voice was a little awkward, but every word was full of sincerity.

"But to be honest, Your Majesty, I am still confused about how I should repay these kindnesses. I don't want to let down the Holy Son Academy for its cultivation of me, but I don't know what to do. You are the wisest king in the empire, can I ask you for advice?"

"You are very smart." The Insect King smiled slightly, "No wonder Councillor Ling Lie, Admiral Ren Qing and Marshal Cao Zhang are willing to recognize you as their master. You are so young, but you have already become the richest man in the empire. Your future is naturally limitless.

But you Lepidoptera rarely hold important positions. After all, there is an old saying that "a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean", and the empire will never give core positions to Lepidoptera.

Although you cannot become the Archbishop of the Central Star, if you want to be the High Priest of a star belt, the Holy See will definitely support you."

"However, you may not need the Holy Court. I heard that you are the legendary Son of Light?"

As soon as the Insect King finished speaking, Ling Lie and Cao Zhan's hearts rose to their throats.

Luo Tiantian's face flushed instantly. He was flustered, embarrassed and anxious: "Your Majesty, I...please forgive me."

He lowered his head and murmured, "This matter... is indeed what we publicized, but it is really not to compete with other saints for sub-female believers. Please believe me!"

"Oh? Why is that?" The Insect King, who was originally leaning forward, slowly leaned back on the chair and motioned Luo Tiantian to continue.

"Actually... the cause of the incident was that Marshal Cao Zhang's male master passed away. Marshal Cao Zhang did not want to choose a new male insect as a partner for some personal reasons. So he found me, hoping to become my believer."

The Insect King raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned Luo Tiantian to continue.

Luo Tiantian bit his lip, with a hint of apology in his voice: "I know that with my status, I am not worthy of Marshal Cao Zhan to be my believer. But Ren Qing must retire, so I... agreed to Marshal Cao Zhan.

But Cao Zhan, as a Marshal, became my believer, which might hurt the reputation of the military. We really had no choice but to make up such an excuse...

When the discussion about Marshal Cao Zhan becoming a believer cools down in a while, we will immediately delete all related videos and discussion content! "

"Your choice is very smart... It not only protects the face of the military, but also enhances the influence of the Holy See."

The Insect King was very satisfied with Luo Tiantian. A little butterfly who was struggling over whether he had snatched a sub-female believer from other saints had a very narrow vision and was not worthy of his attention.

He also heard from the Executive Dean of the Holy Son Academy that Cao Zhan was addicted to Luo Tiantian's pheromones, and...

The Insect King glanced at Saul every day and felt that Cao Zhan, who liked to play with the Son of God, would certainly not miss such a beauty. He was just afraid that he could not get the position of female monarch, but wanted to continue to enjoy the little Son of God, so he chose to be a believer.

Luo Tiantian was probably afraid of losing his support in the military, so he offered to be Cao Zhan's plaything in exchange for this believer.

However, Cao Zhan and Ling Lie are indeed powerful people worth winning over, so he can also try to win them over.

"You are a noble male insect, the richest man in the empire, and you have an excellent female monarch like Ling Lie and a powerful believer like Cao Zhan... plus we have to give the military a better explanation."

The Insect King's voice was gentle, with unquestionable authority, "Therefore, I intend to appoint you as the honorary priest of the Seventeenth Parish of the Central Star."

Luo Tiantian became even more flustered after hearing this. The blush on his face had not faded, and his voice was trembling a little: "Honorary priest... May I ask your majesty, what are the responsibilities of that? I... I haven't come into contact with this part in my studies at the Holy Court."

The Insect King's laughter subsided a little, and he waved his hand, indicating that Luo Tiantian didn't need to be too nervous.

"The honorary priest is mainly a symbolic position," the Insect King explained. "You don't need to be responsible for specific parish affairs. This position is more of an honor, used to show that the Holy See recognizes your potential."

The Insect King paused, then added: "Of course, I will arrange for a senior priest to be your instructor and help you gradually become familiar with the work of a priest."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely work hard."

Luo Tiantian looked flattered.

Ling Lie and Cao Zhan knelt down together to express their gratitude and breathed a sigh of relief.
