Insect King's husband selection criteria

This dinner was originally very grand, but suddenly there was an assassination incident, and the atmosphere of the banquet changed.

When Ji Xian arrived, the entire hall was completely silent, all the insects' wings were tightened behind their backs, and their antennae wanted to stick to their scalps. Some simply decorated their compound eyes with flower petals, pretending to be blind.

Ji Xian sat down on the throne, Leian stood on his left, and the silver-haired man stood by the pillar of the throne with the other worm servants.

"See Your Majesty!"

The bugs all knelt down and saluted.

"Get up."

Ji Xian put one hand on the armrest of the throne, and lightly tapped the cold carving with his index finger.

"Everyone knows that a bug assassinated me today, right?"

The bugs made rustling noises, and their necks shrunk even further.

After a while, some insects dared to answer.

"Those bugs are damned!"

"Your Majesty must kill them!"

"I am absolutely loyal to His Majesty!"

The rest of the bugs seemed to be awakened, and they were loyal to Ji Xianbiao one after another.

Ji Xian let them chirp, and only spoke again when the voice gradually weakened.

He smiled, with the look of a confidant brother.

"Actually, I can also understand the feelings of these rebels. You see, the king's eggs have been silent for more than 200 years. In these 200 years, there is no king of insects on their heads, and all the good things can be enjoyed by themselves-look at you The offerings these days are more precious than the gifts received by previous insect kings."

thump.

One of the mouse women was frightened out of its original shape, its long oval body curled up into a blunt circle.

There were also guilty worms who hurriedly wanted to explain: "Your Majesty, we..."

"To shut up."

Ji Xian interrupted him - he was still smiling and didn't look angry at all.

"I'm not finished yet."

"..."

The bugs fidgeted in silence.

Ji Xian continued.

"Besides the good stuff, there's the power under pheromone levels of repression.

"The king's egg has been silent for so long, but what came out of the shell was a larva, which couldn't even send out the pheromone, let alone the supremacy of level suppression and ingestion of the sea of ​​consciousness?

"Although I haven't shed my shell yet, I also know that it's a wonderful feeling—you can control other people's freedom, joy, anger, and even life at will... No one would want to let go of this kind of power, right?

"If I were a rebel, I would also choose to kill the king before he shed his shell. As long as you kill the king at this time, the king may be silent for another 200 years, and your glory and wealth in this life will be preserved."

"..."

"—However, when the one who got killed was me, I was very unhappy."

Ji Xian leaned back on the chair back, "Leian."

Lei An turned around and knelt down on one knee to Ji Xian: "I am here, Your Majesty."

"Let's get started. Let everyone see what happens when I'm unhappy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leian stood up and waved his hand.

Snapped!

The lights on the center stage suddenly turned on, and under a few beams of white spotlights, there were four bruised bugs kneeling.

How miserable they are.

The antennae and elytra were chopped off by the roots, dense holes were burned out on the thin membranous wings, and the exposed compound eyes and face were corroded together.On the leathery soft abdomen, there are cuts of different depths, and the blood that flowed out has coagulated into a ball.

Ji Xian's index finger tapping on the armrest suddenly stopped.

"what!"

I don't know which lord screamed in fright.

There was commotion in the hall.

Snapped!

A whip sounded, followed by the warning voice of the insect servant: "Silence!"

It was as if the mute button had been pressed on the commotion bugs, and they fell silent for a moment.

Leian faced the bugs, his black compound eyes looked cold, and the same cold pheromone spread out. Under the suppression of the level, many lords directly softened their legs.

"Everyone here, only a few are from the Western Continent. Your Majesty is merciful, and will not pursue the bugs who are still on the way to delay the celebration. Therefore, these lords of the Western Continent, please keep your eyes open and watch carefully, and then explain everything that happened here. Bring it back to the Western Continent."

The bugs turned their heads, their eyes focused on a few scattered points.

The bugs who were watched felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and weakly replied "yes".

Lei An waved his hand again, and a few bug waiters walked out from the dark place on the stage.

Leian: "The liberals in the Western Continent, Baharo's subordinates, disrespect the king and intend to murder, and they will all be punished with five sentences!"

After saying that, Leian waved his hand again and started the execution.

Ji Xian didn't know what "all five punishments" meant, but he soon understood - dismemberment of a living body.

Compared with humans, insects have stronger vitality.The special physiological structure after molting, broken limbs, body stabbing... will not cause lethal amount of blood loss.

So when the worm waiter chopped their heads, three pairs of thoracic legs, chest, abdomen... into a dozen pieces, they even lingered on for a while.

"..."

Dead silence.

In the gorgeous hall, there was a sticky smell of blood, and the almost colorless blood formed an irregular circle, soaking in fragments of insect bodies.

Chong waiter stood on the stage holding a blood-stained knife.

The silent majesty came from top to bottom, squeezing every grain of air.

"Your Majesty, the execution is over."

Lei An didn't know when he turned around and knelt on one knee to report back to Ji Xian.

Ji Xian came back to his senses, his hand on the armrest had already clenched into a fist, and his nails pressed against his palm, making it painful.

Leian raised his head and stared at Ji Xian: "Your Majesty, I have prepared an address to Baharo, please order me to read it."

"..."

"His Majesty."

"..."

Ji Xian loosened his clenched fist, his Adam's apple slipped, "Read."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leian began to read.

But Ji Xian's ears were buzzing, and he didn't hear anything.

His gaze is nailed to the stage: non-human transparent blood, limbs that belong entirely to insects.Shrunk ten thousand times, it is just a few bugs that were played badly by children and had their legs and wings ripped off.

He would not take a second look at such a "miserable image" as he passed by. If he accidentally stepped on it, he would feel unlucky, and then hurriedly wiped the soles of his shoes in the grass by the roadside.

He shouldn't have empathy for such "things".

"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ji Xian came back to his senses from the buzzing blankness, and looked at Lei An who spoke.

Leian knelt down in front of him again.

"Your Majesty, the proclamation has been read out, and we can announce the meal."

Correct.

After the deterrence is over, delicious food will be rewarded.

Be calm and look like a king.

Ji Xian lowered his eyelids, turned his head to look at the bugs under the throne, and then smiled.

He smiled so flawlessly that in the eyes of the bugs, this smile was full of cruelty.

"I've finished what I should see, let's eat."

Ji Xian stood up and stretched his waist, "This is a menu made by Leian himself. All the ingredients are of the highest quality. Don't waste them."

The bugs knelt tremblingly, and answered in an untidy manner: "Yes."

Ji Xian chuckled, then turned and left the banquet hall.

...

The wind outside the house is cool, with the smell of flowers and plants.

Ji Xian couldn't wait to take a few deep breaths, and spit out all the turbid blood in the lung duct.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Leian stepped forward and asked softly.

Ji Xian didn't speak, he walked forward quickly with big strides, until he reached his bedroom, he stopped in the garden.

"Ryan."

Ji Xian turned around suddenly, looked at Lei An and asked, "Why are you so cruel?"

Lei An looked at Ji Xian calmly, and replied: "Only in this way can we gain prestige. Fear is the best collar. ——Your Majesty, you understand this truth, don't you? Before you announced that you would publicly execute them At that time, you can actually think about their end, can't you?"

"I want them to die, but not like this."

"Is there a difference?"

Leian's tone became serious.

"You said earlier that you agreed with my judgment on 'you need to master the power of the king as soon as possible'. But the 'power of the king' is not only the supreme suppression, but also the heart."

"..."

Lei An knelt down to Ji Xian as a gesture of pleading guilty.The worm waiters behind him also knelt down, and the silver-haired man paused for a second, then also knelt down.

Lei An: "My next words will offend the dignity of the king, so I apologize to you first.

"You are too kind. This quality is a virtue for the common people, but for the king, it can only be your embellishment, and it must not influence your judgment. Otherwise, you will be torn off from the throne."

"...You want me to be a cold-blooded machine?"

"No, I want you to face up to the level of the Zerg."

"Of course I know the Zerg level."

"Yes, but you don't understand."

"..."

"Human beings are born as relatively equal individuals. Excluding uncontrollable factors, there are only slight differences in intellectual traits. Therefore, human beings will pursue the concept of restoring equality in the social framework, such as justice, fairness, and freedom...

"Creatures like bugs are born with a clear hierarchy, which is insurmountable for life. We are at ease with this, and our social structure is therefore more stable."

Ji Xian sneered: "Anxin? An insect who is content with his own level will come to assassinate the king?"

"That's the problem - we have human genes."

"..."

"Human beings are the breeding ground for our incubation. Along with the gift of production, human beings' concept of equality is also integrated into our genes. That's why there are those bugs who learn from humans in the Western Continent.

"But these are not important, what matters is you."

"I?"

"Yes. Your Majesty.

"When your kindness crosses the level and you ignore the existence of the Zerg level, then the social structure of the Zerg will be in jeopardy."

"Social innovation happens all the time, and most of the time it's not a bad thing."

"No, you didn't understand.

"What you call social innovation is to overthrow a regime and establish a new system for humans; but for insects, it is worker ants eating the queen and praying mantis eating larvae.

"In human terms, please remember - we are 'animals'.

"The level of the Zerg is not only the 'class' you understand, it is our order."

"..."

"I'm done."

Leian bowed his body towards Ji Xian, "Please punish him, Your Majesty."

"..."

Ji Xian took a deep breath and said, "Go down, let me think alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Today's insect king has also grown a little! OVO

----

This chapter felt simple (plot-wise) when it was originally conceived.But when I actually wrote it, it took me a lot of time to think clearly about bugs and human beings' perception and understanding of "level".

Sure enough, once the text is written, the outline is used to overthrow it. (I will cry if I continue)

----

Then I saw the list today and couldn't laugh or cry.

The first list of this article (probably the last one before V) is actually a list related to PC (computer webpage) and end (mobile webpage).It didn't even reach the coolest list unit of APP.

It's really... so muddled that I can't cry but want to laugh instead.

----

But it doesn't affect my love for the worm king. (Shout by the way: Please collect it——ah!!!)

----

I'm on duty on May [-]st, so I can't play, so I will find time to hoard manuscripts.

Good night! OVO

——I didn’t seem to be able to see the thank you votes from the previous chapter on the APP, so I’ll do it again——

Thanks to the little angels who voted for me during the --::~--:: period~

Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: Yuzu and Su Xiaoqu;
