Chapter 19
“I’m fine. I actually feel much better now.”
After being comforted by the breath of the King Insect, Tang Li felt that the originally chaotic ball of light in his sea of consciousness gradually became quiet. Even his body, which had become weak due to the confusion of his mental power, gradually regained some strength.
After feeling that he had regained some strength to stand, he immediately moved his body away from Izzy.
But soon after he had distanced himself from Iz, Tang Li felt as if a gap of desire had been torn open in his heart, and he was strongly craving for the replenishment of the King Insect’s breath.
Tang Li’s fingers curled slightly, but he still couldn’t control the strong instinct in his heart to rely on the king bug. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to Izzy.
Even though his instinct wanted him to throw himself directly into the arms of Izzy who was standing in front of him so as to absorb the richer scent of the King Insect, he restrained himself and only used his two fingers to gently pinch the corner of Izzy’s clothes.
Feeling that his desire for the comfort of the King Bug was slightly relieved, Tang Li raised his eyes and looked at Izzy embarrassedly and said, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, you should let me hold your clothes like this for a while longer.”
It was already very troublesome for him to let Izzy come to him personally, and he didn’t want to let Izzy worry about him too much. And the habits formed since his mother’s death made Tang Li subconsciously want to rely more on himself, rather than others.
Izzy looked at Tang Li trying hard to restrain himself, and a surge of unspeakable emotions suddenly surged in his heart – he wanted the little insect mother to be more dependent on him, instead of feeling embarrassed like she was now just because she troubled him with a little thing.
He raised his hand, gently took Tang Li’s hand from the corner of his clothes, and then held it in his own hand. “I said that if you feel any discomfort in your body, you should tell me, don’t force yourself. Since I have promised you that I will help you through the pseudo-development period, I don’t think you will trouble me.”
Tang Li only felt his somewhat cold fingers being completely wrapped in a warm palm. Being able to actually touch the body of the King Insect like this made the insect mother in the pseudo-developmental period feel much more at ease than just feeling the breath of the King Insect.
And the gap called desire in my heart was quickly filled.
But all these were nothing compared to the shock that was rising in his heart at this moment.
He originally thought that Izzy only regarded helping him through the pseudo-development period as a duty as the king insect, and he never expected that he would do such a thing.
——Your Majesty, is this tacit permission for me to get close to him?
After thinking of this possibility, the young man couldn’t help but widen his eyes slightly, and even his pupils dilated a little because he was too surprised. He couldn’t help but look at Izzy who was holding his hand in a daze.
The handsome king was looking at him with his silver eyelashes lowered. His purple eyes seemed to contain some extremely deep expression, which made him unable to move his eyes away when he met Izzy’s gaze, as if he was attracted by a magnet.
