Chapter 16
Izzy walked quickly to the bed and frowned at the little insect mother lying on the bed.
Because Tang Li was lying on his side, Izzy could clearly see the nectar glands exposed on the back of his neck.
The nectar gland is only a small one, hidden in the slightly bulging skin, and its shape is clearly not mature.
Soon, Izzy noticed that something was wrong with the little insect mother lying on the bed.
The young man’s whole body curled up on the bed as if he felt insecure, as if he was trapped in some kind of nightmare that he could not escape. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his fine white teeth bit his lower lip, almost leaving a circle of blood on it.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his long eyelashes were trembling restlessly like butterfly wings. Under the thin eyelids, the pupils would move slightly from time to time, as if he might wake up at any time, but it seemed as if he was suppressed by something and could only fall deeper and deeper into the endless nightmare.
After a while, Tang Li’s breathing suddenly became rapid, like a palpitation, and the spirit body in his sea of consciousness seemed to be experiencing a storm.
The originally soft light of the ball of light suddenly became flickering.
Izzy discovered it almost at the moment when Tang Li’s spirit body became confused. And at the moment of discovery, an inexplicable emotion surged into his heart like a tide.
It seems that the repeated excessive consumption of her own mental energy by the little insect mother finally had an impact on her own body, causing the pseudo development of her nectar glands.
This kind of pseudo-development usually lasts for about a month. If the queen worm’s emotions cannot be calmed down in time when it occurs, it will affect the nectar glands that are about to mature, resulting in incomplete development of the nectar glands. Because of this reason, the worm queen with pseudo-nectar development is likely to be much weaker than the ordinary worm queen, and it may even affect the original lifespan of the worm queen itself.
When Izzy thought that if he hadn’t noticed this matter, Tang Li might have encountered what he thought, and even at that time, there would be no way to reverse it, his eyes darkened.
——The punishment for Nicol is still too light. If it weren’t for him, the little insect mother would not be experiencing such pain now.
Izzy lowered his eyes and looked at the pale face of the young man on the bed, then slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. As he moved, his long silver hair flowed onto the bed like silver.
Although the Queen Bug does not have the ability to pacify other Zergs like the Queen Bug. However, the king insect is the destined partner of the insect mother. If the insect mother can always feel the breath of the king insect, she will feel sufficient sense of security.
After Izzy sat on the edge of the bed, the young man who had been curled up in the corner of the bed moved towards him little by little like a puppy smelling the scent of bones. Then he subconsciously stretched out his slender hands, embraced Iz’s hands, and held them tightly in his arms as if he was holding a treasure.
…
Tang Li was deeply trapped in his own nightmare.
In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the day when he died.
The cold lake water gradually submerged his mouth and nose, but he was too weak to struggle due to the effects of the medicine and could only let himself slowly sink to the bottom of the lake.
At this moment, Tang Li suddenly felt a hand reaching out to him from the rippling waves of the lake, grasping his hand that was stretched out helplessly in despair to survive, and then pulling him out of the cold lake water little by little.
Tang Li’s breathing became rapid and his heart was beating because of the nightmare. After being rescued from the prison-like bottom of the lake by this hand, his breathing gradually became stable. The frown on his face also gradually relaxed, and he finally fell asleep peacefully.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Li opened his eyes. Then, he met a pair of familiar purple eyes. The owner of this pair of purple eyes was currently lowering his thick silver eyelashes, and seemed to have been looking at him in this posture for a long time.
Then, Tang Li found that his face was pressed against a bony palm, and after waking up, he subconsciously rubbed the palm of his face several times, as if he was particularly dependent on this hand.
After realizing what he had done, Tang Li couldn’t help but widen his eyes and immediately sat up from the bed. The pupils in his eyes were slightly dilated because he was too surprised.
—Why was Izzy in his bedroom? !He probably didn’t do anything too excessive to Izzy unconsciously just now, right?
“Did you just have a nightmare?”
Unlike Tang Li’s unconcealed surprise, Izzy withdrew his hand calmly. But even though he had withdrawn his hand, the warmth from the insect mother’s face touching his palm still remained in his palm.
The little insect mother who had fallen asleep on his palm not long ago was just like a kitten that actually longed for its owner’s company, but after waking up, it was too cautious and would no longer be willing to be touched or hugged by its owner.
Thinking of this, for some reason, Izzy felt a faint sense of regret in his heart.
After hearing what Izzy said, Tang Li remembered the dream he had. The suffocating feeling that followed him like a shadow made his face change instantly.
“Well, yes…it was indeed a nightmare.”
Tang Li did not deny it. Reliving the scene of being killed by Tang Yiran in his previous life in his dream was indeed a nightmare for him.
“Your Majesty, why are you in my room?” After suppressing the discomfort in his heart caused by thinking of Tang Yiran, Tang Li looked up at Izzy, and couldn’t help but ask Izzy the doubts in his heart.
Izzy had no intention of hiding this from Tang Li. In the next few days, Tang Li might very likely fall into mental confusion at any time, just like today, because of the pseudo development of the nectar glands. When he falls into mental confusion, he needs to notify me in time so that I can rush to his side as quickly as possible and comfort him with my breath.
But he did not answer Tang Li directly. Instead, he looked at Tang Li and said, “Come to my side.”
Although Tang Li was confused for a moment, he still obediently moved closer to Izzy, but in the end he still maintained a relatively moderate distance.
Then in the next second, Tang Li felt a few warm fingertips touching the skin on the back of his neck. That piece of skin was extremely sensitive. Almost at the moment it was touched, Tang Li’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly as if he was electrocuted.
