Chapter 28
Under the attention of all the Zerg, their noble king held the hand of the Zerg Queen and walked down the steps extending from the spaceship to the ground.
Amos originally had a distracted expression on his face, but when he saw Tang Li actually took the initiative to put his hand in Izzy’s hand, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly for a moment.
Alden’s reaction was obviously more obvious than Amos’s, and he couldn’t help but show a shocked expression on his face.
Why did he see His Majesty the Insect King holding the hand of the Insect Queen? Could he still be dreaming? !
As the lord of the Manse race, he has worked under Izzy for nearly a thousand years.
In his eyes, Izzy was undoubtedly a perfect king.
Izzy was in power for nearly a thousand years. It was he who transformed the Zerg from an extremely barbaric race that only knew how to plunder into what they are today.
Under Izzy’s jurisdiction, no Zerg dared to resist his majesty.
Such a Majesty would actually hold the hand of another Zerg so gently like he is doing now.
Even though the one he was holding now was the insect queen that Alden cherished so much.
But Alden knew very well that the king had never taken Her Highness the Worm Mother seriously before, otherwise it would not have been possible for their king to act so calmly on the day Her Highness the Worm Mother was born. In fact, their king had already discovered the signs that Her Highness the Worm Mother was about to be born a long time ago, but he did not pay much attention to it.
So what happened when he was not in the original nest?
However, it was a good thing to see their king and Her Highness the Insect Mother getting along so harmoniously. After all, Her Highness the Insect Mother would eventually choose a king insect as her partner. In addition to their king, the other king insect of the insect race was Prince Amos, and he did not think Amos was worthy of Her Highness the Insect Mother.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness the Insect Queen, welcome to Planet Nika.”
After Izzy led Tang Li to him, Alden immediately bowed to them respectfully.
After Izzy responded to the greetings from Alden and the other Zerg, he looked at Amos standing beside him and asked coldly and bluntly, “Why are you here?”
“I was just a little bored, so I came to Nika Star to relax. I didn’t expect to see you again so soon, and–” Amos shrugged, then looked at Tang Li who was standing next to Izzy. He took out the hand that was originally in his pocket and stretched it towards Tang Li, as if waiting for a handshake.
“Your Highness, Long time no see.”
Tang Li looked at the hand stretched out in front of him. Because of the predatory look Amos had shown him at the banquet, as if he were his property, he didn’t want to have any more contact with Amos after the banquet.
But now that he saw Amos again, and in front of so many Zergs, even out of basic etiquette, he had no reason to refuse Amos’s normal request for a handshake.
Tang Li originally just wanted to reach out his hand, shake hands with Amos briefly, and then let go of his hand. Now that Izzy was by his side, Amos couldn’t possibly do anything inappropriate to him like he did last time.
Just as Tang Li was about to stretch out his hand, a bony hand was faster than his and directly pressed down the hand that Amos stretched out.
Izzy looked at Amos with sharp eyes and said with thin lips: “It’s already so late now. Xiao Li and I need to go to bed as soon as possible instead of standing here and making useless small talk.”
Amos still had a smile on his face despite being rejected directly by Izzy. He withdrew his hand and put it back into his trouser pocket. “It is true that I did not think it through.”
“Alden, are the rooms ready?”
Alden was clearly aware of the tense atmosphere in front of him, but he pretended he saw nothing. He nodded to Izzy and said, “Everything is ready. King, and Her Highness the Insect Queen, please feel free to tell me if you are not satisfied with anything.”
When saying this, Alden turned his gaze eagerly towards Tang Li. No matter what Her Highness the Insect Mother asked of him, he would definitely do his best to meet all of Her Highness the Insect Mother’s requirements.
Tang Li felt Alden’s gaze and smiled at him immediately. If Alden hadn’t sent that message, he probably wouldn’t have been able to come to Nika Star so quickly. And from that message, he could clearly feel the love that the Zerg had for him.
Tang Li was not reluctant to show his friendliness to the Zerg who were kind to him.
Ah, Her Highness the Insect Queen actually smiled at him. He, Olden Mans, must be the happiest Zerg in the world today!
An expression of flattery immediately appeared on Olden’s face, and then he was like a drunk who was too happy and tipsy, and even his walking became a little erratic as if he was sleepwalking.
Fortunately, his remaining rationality allowed him to successfully bring Izzy and Tang Li to their rooms.
***
The next day, Tang Li woke up very early.
He opened the curtains to let the morning sunlight outside into the room, and then went into the bathroom to wash up.
After changing his clothes, Tang Li walked to the bedside table, picked up the wooden pendant that he had placed on it before going to bed last night, stroked it gently, put it in his trouser pocket, and then walked out of the room.
Olden stood upright not far from Tang Li’s door. He kept an eye on the movement of Tang Li’s door. Almost the moment Tang Li opened the door, he turned to look in Tang Li’s direction and saluted in a standard manner, “Your Highness, Mother Worm, good morning.”
“Good morning.” Tang Li nodded to Alden, and then he looked at the room opposite him, where Izzy stayed last night. The door of the room was slightly open, which clearly showed that Izzy was no longer inside.
“Where’s Izzy?”
“Your Majesty is now in the restaurant on the first floor, and His Excellency Prince Amos is also there. Your Highness, Mother Worm, do you want to dine in the restaurant or directly in your room?”
Carl stood not far away and watched Alden directly replace his job, but he didn’t dare to say anything. The tentacles above his head drooped down with some loss.
Tang Li said, “Take me to the restaurant.”
“Okay, after you finish breakfast, I can take you to see the Maro flowers. It will take about a week for the Maro flowers to fully mature. You can pick them and use them if you need them. While waiting for them to mature, you can go to Mermaid Bay to watch the mermaids. Now is the mermaids’ mating season, and you can hear the mermaids’ songs…”
While leading Tang Li and Carl who was following behind them towards the restaurant, Alden actively introduced Tang Li to the famous interstellar tourist attractions on Nika Star.
…
Inside the restaurant, Izzy and Amos sat on either side of the oval dining table.
One is handsome and the other is handsome, both have equally outstanding faces, but different styles, yet they are 30% similar, adding a bit of brilliance to the entire restaurant.
However, none of the Zerg and humans who entered the restaurant to serve food dared to look up at them. They all hurriedly put down their meals and left quickly.
Izzy didn’t touch the food in front of him, and looked at Amos who was sitting opposite him with his deep purple eyes.
“Amos, how did you know that Xiao Li and I would come to Nika Star?”
“It’s all just a coincidence. I arrived earlier than all of you.” Amos leaned his shoulders against the back of the chair and spread his hands to Izzy. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do, my dear Majesty.”
Izzy naturally would not believe the coincidence that Amos mentioned. Although Amos did arrive at Nika Star one day earlier than him and Tang Li, if he had used space to jump here as soon as he learned that he and Tang Li were planning to come to Nika Star, then the time would be exactly one day earlier than them.
——This can only mean that Amos has spies in the palace.
Amos was not afraid of Izzy’s scrutiny at all. His expression was flawless, without revealing any flaws. Even if Izzy suspected him, he would never think that he was actually controlling the Zerg serving Tang Li. Moreover, Carl usually maintained a normal appearance, and it would not be easy to find out that he was actually being controlled.
Even under Izzy’s gaze, he leisurely picked up a piece of roasted, crispy meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Just at this moment, Alden walked in with Tang Li.
“Your Highness, what kind of breakfast do you like? Our chef is proficient in hundreds of cuisines from all over the galaxy. He should be able to make whatever you want to eat.”
Tang Li said: “Just give me the same breakfast as them.”
“OK.”
Tang Li walked directly to Izzy’s side and sat down, saying, “Izzy, after I finish breakfast, I will go with Alden to see Marlo Flower first.”
Although it will take about a week for the Maro flower to mature, he is somewhat curious about what this flower looks like.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Amos watched Izzy respond to Tang Li naturally, and a hint of darkness flashed across his lavender eyes. He originally thought that Izzy followed Tang Li because he was going to Nika Star and was going to take the Maro flower, but looking at how he got along with Tang Li, it was very likely that he acquiesced to Tang Li’s taking of the Maro flower.
“You guys wouldn’t mind adding me, right?”
After hearing Amos’ voice, Izzy immediately looked at him coldly, completely lacking the gentleness she had just shown when speaking to Tang Li. “If I said it was inconvenient, you wouldn’t have come with me?”
Amos smiled and looked at Izzy with his lavender eyes and said, “Don’t be so cruel to me. After all, I am your brother.”
Even though Izzy didn’t want Amos to follow him, he couldn’t directly expel Amos before Tang Li finally and clearly chose his partner, the Ouba, because he was also one of the candidates.
…
“Your Highness, Mother Worm, look, this large sea of flowers is a variant of the Maro flower. This is a well-known attraction on Planet Nika, and tourists often come here to play.”
Alden walked in front, pointing to a sea of fiery red flowers not far away.
This huge sea of flowers is like the most brilliant color of camellia, burning between heaven and earth, as if to dye both heaven and earth a dazzling red.
Tang Li had never seen such a large sea of flowers, and each flower was almost more than a person’s height. It was conceivable that if someone entered it, they would be instantly submerged in the sea of flowers, and they would only see this fiery red sea of flowers, and nothing else.
Tang Li couldn’t help but look at the sea of flowers a few more times, but what he was more concerned about now was still the real Marlo flowers, so he didn’t stay for long and continued to walk towards the destination behind Alden.
Tang Li, who had already turned and left, did not notice that not long after he left, two figures walked out from the sea of flowers not far behind him.
The two figures all looked at his back in shock, and one of them couldn’t help but reveal a hint of fear in his eyes.
——How come that person looks so much like the deceased Tang Li?
