Chapter 17
In the huge bedroom, there seemed to be a strange atmosphere spreading silently.
The young man with rich brows was half-kneeling on the bed, his body trembling slightly, and a light blush spread on his fair cheeks.
The handsome man with silver hair and purple eyes sitting on the edge of the bed lowered his eyes, and his slender fingers with distinct joints were gently stroking the back of the young man’s neck. As if confirming something through the touch of his fingers, Izzy withdrew his hand.
After withdrawing his attention from the nectar gland on the back of the insect mother’s neck, Izzy discovered Tang Li’s current appearance.
The young man’s cheeks were flushed, his thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, and the tails of his eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of light red like smoke. The pair of beautiful black eyes beneath the eyelashes were now filled with a thin layer of smoke-like water vapor, making them appear somewhat bright and alluring.
Izzy’s eyes swept across the young man’s watery eyes and fell on the soft pink lips below. The color in her purple eyes couldn’t help but darken a little.
Restraining himself from looking away from the young man’s lips, the honorable Zerg King felt a little dry in the mouth for some reason. The fingers that had just touched the back of the young man’s neck seemed to suddenly start to get hot, so hot that he couldn’t help but curl up his fingers. But inexplicably he wanted to touch the back of the young man’s neck again to see if the young man would reveal a more seductive expression…
“Sorry, I just want to see if the nectar glands on the back of your neck have completely disappeared.” Izzy’s voice was a little deeper than usual. He lowered his silver eyelashes to hide the increasingly obvious dark color that emerged in his eyes.
Tang Li had not yet recovered from the extremely obvious feeling of being touched on the skin at the back of his neck. This area of skin will not feel strange when touched during daily dressing. He didn’t expect that he would become so sensitive just by being touched by Izzy’s fingers for a few minutes.
But after hearing Izzy’s words, Tang Li’s eyelashes trembled noticeably.
When collecting information about the queen insect, Tang Li also learned that after the queen insect’s nectar glands mature, the nectar produced will be specifically supplied to the queen insect. Moreover, after the nectar glands mature, the queen nectar will quickly enter a reproductive period.
The reproductive heat period of the worm queen is similar to the estrus period of the omega, but the estrus period of the omega can be suppressed by special inhibitors. As for the reproductive heat period of the worm queen, Tang Li has searched through countless documents, but has not yet found a relevant inhibitory method.
According to recorded literature, the only way for the queen insect to survive the reproductive period is to mate with the queen insect.
For some reason, the wooden door connecting Izzy and his room appeared in Tang Li’s mind again, and his ears couldn’t help but turn red. Even if the door was really used for that purpose as he thought, Izzy would not be willing to touch him, and he did not want to be controlled by reproductive fever.
After calming himself down, Tang Li finally realized that something was wrong. He looked up at Izzy and asked, “…If I remember correctly, my nectar glands should not be mature yet, right?” He had never seen any record of a queen worm’s nectar glands maturing prematurely in the literature.
“You are not mistaken. It is indeed not the time for your nectar glands to mature yet. You have just entered the pseudo-development period.” Izzy looked at Tang Li and told him clearly the consequences if the nectar gland pseudo-development was not dealt with in time.
“From now on, if you feel any discomfort in your body, you must tell me in time, understand?”
The residual feeling of Izzy’s fingers touching the back of his neck still lingered until now, as if there was a small electric current lingering on that small piece of skin, which made Tang Li extremely concerned. But since he was finally reborn, he would not go against his own fate. What’s more, His Majesty the Insect King only did that to help him, and he shouldn’t have any other strange thoughts.
Tang Li nodded solemnly to Izzy and said, “I understand. From now on, I will trouble you, Your Majesty.” The young man’s eyes were pure, and when he looked at a person so intently, it seemed that in his eyes, there was only that person.
Seeing the little insect mother in front of him agreeing obediently and looking at him with focused eyes, Izzy couldn’t help but turn slightly to the side and reached out his hand to touch the top of his head.
After realizing that he had done something subconsciously, Iz’s eyes flashed, then he stood up from the edge of the bed, looked at Tang Li and said, “Then you continue to rest now, I’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Tang Li watched Iz’s back as he left, reached out and touched the top of his head that Iz had just touched, and a soft spot in his heart was gently touched.
No one has touched his head since his mother died.
The hand that His Majesty the Insect King touched just now was very warm, which reminded him of the hand that saved him from the bottom of the lake when he had the nightmare just now.
When Izzy left Tang Li’s room, he turned off the isolation device that he had previously turned on. Otherwise, no Zerg except him would be able to enter or leave this room. Just when he was talking to Tang Li, he felt the breath of the Zerg named Carl, who was wandering outside anxiously.
Outside the door, the two tentacles on Carl’s head were tangled. He didn’t know why he suddenly couldn’t enter Her Highness the Insect Mother’s room. Her Highness the Insect Mother should be fine in the room now, right?
At this moment, Carl saw the door he was guarding suddenly opened from the inside. The anxious look on his face suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with an extremely bright smile, “Bug… Your Majesty!”
After seeing that the person who walked out of Tang Li’s room was Izzy, Carl’s eyes immediately showed shock, but he quickly lowered his head and saluted respectfully to Izzy.
Izzy nodded to Carl and said, “Let Tang Li rest for a while. You can go in and find him in an hour.”
Carl quickly replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
After Izzy gave Carl his instructions, he turned and walked towards his room. He could have just gone back through the wooden door in the living room that connected to his room, but he didn’t want other Zergs to see Tang Li’s current appearance – the blush on the young man’s face must not have completely faded, and the watery color in his eyes had not yet faded.
Izzy looked down again at the hand that had just touched Tang Li’s head. That action was a subconscious and unintentional act on his part.
But it also shows that at that time, he wanted to touch the little insect mother.
