Chapter 07
Inside the palace, the guards and servants who were unable to attend the celebration because they were on duty seemed to sense something. They all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the observation deck.
——Although they did not attend the celebration, they all received gifts from the Insect Queen.
Sitting behind the desk in the royal court, Izzy, who was handling affairs, stretched out his slender fingers and gently pinched a golden light spot that was floating towards him and was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary Zerg.
This golden light spot was like a star, constantly flashing bright light, and then quickly melted into his fingertips.
At the same time, a warm current flowed into Izzy’s sea of consciousness, gently enveloping his consciousness, but was quickly absorbed by his consciousness.
For ordinary Zerg, the spiritual comfort from the Zerg Queen is equivalent to a cleansing of the soul, but for Izzy, it is just a drop in the bucket. However, due to this subtle touch, the shackles of power that were originally locked in the deepest part of his consciousness seemed to begin to loosen uncontrollably.
Izzy’s silver eyelashes trembled slightly, then she lowered her eyes and silently reinforced the shackles again.
It is not time to open the shackles yet. The little mother insect shows no signs of maturing and cannot produce the honey he needs.
But…
Izzy immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the observation deck. He didn’t expect that the little insect queen had mastered the method of group mental comfort so quickly. However, the little insect mother’s current consciousness is probably just like her body, and is not yet fully mature. Being able to achieve the current level must have consumed all of his energy.
——Why did the little insect mother want to achieve such a large-scale spiritual comfort even if she had to force herself?
In Izzy’s mind, the smile that Tang Li had shown to the librarian Archie, his servant Carl, and other Zerg immediately emerged. But Tang Li had never shown this smile to himself.
Even when he took the initiative to find him to inform him about the celebration, Tang Li’s attitude towards him was reserved and distant.
This clearly fits with his desire to keep a distance from Tang Li, but he inexplicably couldn’t suppress the strange feeling that had arisen in his heart since that day.
The Zerg King, who was sitting behind the desk, did not notice that his brows had been slightly furrowed uncontrollably.

“Your Highness the Insect Mother, you shouldn’t force yourself like this. For us, your health is the most important.”
Karl looked at the slightly pale corners of Tang Li’s lips, frowned and said with concern. Seeing that Tang Li was obviously weak due to overdrawn, he wanted to slap himself a few times because he was feeling so comfortable due to the mental comfort not long ago.
“I’m fine, I just need a little rest.”
Tang Li did not force himself to comfort Carl. Everything he had just done was within the scope of his own ability. Although such large-scale group appeasement was still very difficult for him now, it was not beyond the limit of his ability.
Moreover, this was a successful attempt for him. Such large-scale mental comfort is also helpful for him to become familiar with the insect mother’s ability to comfort others.
After resting for a while inside the observation deck, Tang Li felt that his originally exhausted physical strength had slowly recovered to 60% to 70%. He looked at Carl, who was still looking at him worriedly, and said, “I feel much better now. Carl, let’s go to the celebration next.”
Carl looked at Tang Li, who was obviously very expectant. Although he was still very worried about Tang Li’s physical condition, he couldn’t bear to see Tang Li’s disappointed expression. He could only nod reluctantly, and then emphasized: “Okay, but Your Highness the Insect Mother, if you feel any discomfort later, you must come back to the palace with me.”
…
The celebration of the birth of the Insect Mother will be held for three full days, and both sides of the streets in the main urban area will be lined with all kinds of stalls.
Tang Li was wearing a cloak that could conceal his breath, and the wide hood covered his face tightly.
Carl followed behind Tang Li, staring at the Zerg who did not know how to dodge when passing by Tang Li and directly rubbed their shoulders against Tang Li’s body.
None of the Zergs that passed by Tang Li noticed that the Zerg Queen they were thinking about had actually just walked past them.
Everything at the celebration was new to Tang Li.
He walked and looked in front of each stall, and soon he had visited all the stalls on this street.
Neither Tang Li nor Karl noticed that not far behind them, there was a tall Zerg following them closely. Every time he took a step forward, his movements would pause subtly. However, the lag was not too great, and none of the Zergs walking around paid attention to this seemingly ordinary Zerg, so no one noticed his abnormality.
The Orc Empire is thousands of light years away from the original nest.
Inside the luxurious palace, Emperor Oak was looking at Tang Li not far away through his tall Zerg-modified eyes. The two mechanical bugs he had placed on Tang Li and Karl in advance allowed him to lock onto Tang Li, who had hidden his identity at the time, without much effort.
Emperor Oak’s whole body was sunken in a soft and comfortable chair. His fat face was filled with an extremely smug smile. His eyes, squeezed into a thin line by fat, were greedily looking at Tang Li, who was not far in front of the tall Zerg, like a hyena staring at its fat prey.
As long as we can seize this opportunity to capture the Insect Queen and bring her back to the Oak Empire to imprison her. Then, their Orc Empire will be able to control the Zerg that all the empires and federations in the galaxy fear, and the day when their Orc Empire dominates the entire galaxy will be just around the corner!
“Hahaha, did those cowardly old guys see that? My plan is clearly feasible! If I hadn’t insisted on implementing the plan, we would have lost such a good opportunity. I want to use this incident to prove to them how stupid their previous attempt to stop me was.”
When Emperor Oak thought about how he would soon be able to dominate the entire galaxy without any effort, he couldn’t help but let the fat on his face tremble with joy.
The Minister of the Interior stood behind Emperor Oak and opened his mouth in disbelief. He had never expected that the mother of the Zerg would only have a low-level Zerg to protect her.
Could it be that this seemingly absurd plan proposed by Emperor Oak actually have a chance of success? !
***
“Have you heard? On the opposite street, the Zerg of the Shadow Moon Clan are going to perform a dance to celebrate the birth of Her Highness the Zerg Queen!”
The Zerg of the Shadow Moon Clan all have a pair of huge butterfly-like transparent wings that are sprinkled with silver light. When the wings hang down, they look like a huge silver skirt. The Zerg in their tribe are mostly beautiful women, and even the lord is a beautiful woman. So with a pair of wings like this, it can be said to be pleasing to the eye.
The special talent that the Zerg of the Shadowmoon Clan possess is their dance. It is said that their dance is so beautiful that it can make any creature that sees it experience the dream they desire most.
But the Zerg of the Shadowmoon Clan will only dance a few times in their entire lives, so very few creatures have seen them dance.
And this time, they all actually have the opportunity to see this legendary dance!
After hearing the news, the Zergs who were originally wandering on the street immediately rushed towards the passage leading to the opposite street, fearing that they would miss the dance if they were a step late.
“Your Highness, do you also want to watch the dance performance of the Shadowmoon Clan?”
Carl noticed that Tang Li’s gaze was looking towards the place where the Zerg were rushing to. The two tentacles above his head moved, and his eyes looked with some disgust at the passage where insects were almost crowded.
If Her Highness the Insect Queen now also wants to go to the street across the street through that passage, then in the process, who knows how many ignorant Zergs will touch Her Highness the Insect Queen’s body without any care.
He absolutely could not allow this to happen.
“Since we’re already here, why not go and take a look.”
Tang Li became curious about the dance that he had only learned about in books.
It seemed that after being reborn as a Zerg Queen and receiving the unreserved love of the Zerg, the emotional prison that had imprisoned him all the time in his previous life gradually shattered – here he did not need to suppress his true emotions, he only needed to use his true heart to treat these Zerg who regarded him as a treasure.
“Okay. Your Highness, I know there is another path that leads to the street on the opposite side. Let’s not go that way with the other Zergs.” Carl said as he looked at the passage where the Zergs were crowded with each other with disdain again.
Tang Li had no opinion on which way to go. He followed Carl and soon entered an alley.
Not long after they entered the alley, a tall Zerg controlled by Emperor Oak, whose steps seemed a little stiff as he walked, followed closely behind them and entered this deserted alley together.
