Ch3 – The Light of the Right Path.

Editor: LotusEater

They were eyes that had seen countless hardships in life.
Although bright and lustrous, the defensive wall contained there couldn’t be hidden, giving the female an arrogant and unapproachable appearance. 

Sharp, murderous intent was buried under layers of falsities, concealed within the deepest part of him.

Ling calmly looked at Lu Mo.

Female monarch.

His face did not change, but his heart was full of shock. 

A male may have a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of females, but there was only one female monarch from beginning to end.

 

Even those that were completely loyal could be blinded by love and act out of selfishness.

The position of female monarch was a compromise reached between zerg society and all zerg individuals under the duty of maintaining and furthering zerg reproduction as a whole.

No male would promise a female the seat of female monarch before reaching adulthood.

 

After all, no one knew how high a male’s genetic grade would reach after metamorphosis.

It had been recorded in history that a male born only D-Grade, experienced countless hardships during countless adventures, and had eventually succeeded in completing five metamorphoses, becoming nearly S-Grade!

If the status of female monarch was given too early – to a female that was not strong nor worthy enough, at that – it could only have been because of a youthful impulse.
When the years passed and the feelings faded, the male would’ve undoubtedly come to regret it.

Ling lowered his eyes, his silver eyelashes concealing the thoughts there. 

That was only if… the male was smart enough.

A smart male would have been able to determine his identity.
In that case, perhaps the male had been acting from the beginning.

What should be killed, should be killed.

Ling’s palm that was holding the dagger had become slightly sweaty, but he had seen too much deception and all kinds of facades in the many years that he had wandered on the edge of life and death.
He had come to learn that when he couldn’t tell the difference between truth and lie, straightforward action was the next best option. 

So, why was he hesitating?

They were in a remote location, and the other party was only a weak, low-grade male.
So the safest choice was to just eliminate him.

But…

As he thought of the other’s fingers brushing upon his face, with a strength little more than a breeze, Ling’s firm heart slightly wavered again. 

[Cats that have been spoiled since childhood always coveted the freedom outside when they grew up.]

[But a scarred, wild cat picked up from the street was exceptionally clingy.]

 

Just a simple action could pry open the female’s cold heart, so one would have to carefully cherish it—

Because if he ended up getting hurt again, he would build an even thicker defense than the one he had already built. 

Ling watched the teenage male’s white fingers fidget with the sheet, and finally made a decision in his heart.

He looked up and said, “You want me to be your female monarch, why?”

If this male zerg had wicked thoughts and wanted to win Ling’s trust with ulterior motives, he would definitely pretend to be naive.

Like a young male from the countryside – immature and inexperienced, as those from the countryside usually were – that was charmed by his appearance, enough to fall in love.
He would be passionate and brave, and would respect and love his female. 

This stereotype had appeared in the dreams of countless female’s, and no female would refuse such a male.

Ling rubbed his index finger on the dagger’s blade, the sharp weapon sliced flesh smoothly.
The scent of blood began to spread as the red liquid oozed.
He continued to focus on the male, relaxed on the surface, but his heart started to palpitate.

If the other party really behaved so perfectly, his blade would not hesitate to pierce the male’s heart.

Lu Mo, he wanted both.

“You need to get one thing clear.” The young master narrowed his cold emerald eyes, and said with an arrogant tone, “You fell into my territory; you are something that belongs completely to me now.

“From body to heart, I will dominate everything about you. 

“You will not disobey me.”

Lu Mo stretched out his hand and poked the female zerg’s soft cheek, causing his head to tilt: “You may not know, but I don’t have a good reputation here, and what I want isn’t just simple obedience.”

 

Only the female monarch could form a blood contract with the male zerg, and from that moment on, their souls would become one and they would be able to communicate with their minds.

“Understand?” Lu Mo smiled wickedly, “If you dare to have second thoughts, I’ll kill you.” 

“…”

The female’s red eyes widened slightly and he gazed at Lu Mo blankly.

With such wide eyes, he was probably scared!

[The host’s acting skills have improved rapidly!] 

Lu Mo himself felt embarrassed.
Goosebumps rose from his arms to his legs one after another.
His whole body was numb, as if he had touched an electrical wire.

Evil, evil, evil.
Living in this society wasn’t easy for females in the first place.
He had even said a lot of controlling remarks, of which would definitely leave a shadow on the female’s heart.

He turned his head away, concealed the guilt in his eyes, and said in a fierce tone, “The wedding will be held soon, you have no choice but to be my toy obediently.”

After thinking about what he had just said, he didn’t think it was fierce enough.
So Lu Mo bent down, pondered over the amount of force he should use, bared his teeth, and bit hard on the female’s earlobe. 

His canines sank deep, followed by the slight smell of rust.
The female’s body trembled slightly, still not saying a word.

The bright red teeth marks stood out prominently on the white jade-like earlobe, an extremely striking image.
Lu Mo bent down and whispered in a demon-like voice: “This is my mark.”

After saying that, he was finally satisfied and left the room leisurely.

He had planted a seed of hatred in the female’s heart, now he just had to happily wait for this hatred to take root and sprout, and swallow him whole. 

The heavy wooden door was closed again, and the silence within the room was restored.

After the early morning passed, the sun became brighter and brighter,  letting warm, golden light leak through the window—enveloping the silver-haired female zerg.

With his long silver hair spread out, he sat in the sunlight with his head down for a long while.

Then he finally took out his hand from under the quilt, opened his mouth, and bit his scarred finger. 

A faint red glow climbed up his neck and gradually stained his cheeks, even making his already red eyes shine a deeper red.

The blood contract was two-way.

 

The female would always belong to male, and the male would always belong to the female.
Forever.

The sense of security that he had always lacked due to the Klein zerg nature, was finally satisfied at that moment. 

…

“Young Master.”

As soon as he left the room, the butler greeted him with concern in his eyes.
He looked at Lu Mo doubtfully: “Is it over?”

Lu Mo nodded reservedly. 

The butler said in confusion, “That quick?”

Lu Mo: “…”

[Five points have been deducted as your ability has been doubted.
]

Lu Mo really wanted to cry ah. 

He wanted to cry loudly and beg the butler to let him go, to save his life.

But he couldn’t.
He couldn’t.
The scum male must be ruthless, and the scum male had no tears.

He could only glance at the butler blankly: “I want to keep…”

Lu Mo’s words were stuck in his throat, he had been so immersed in his performance that he hadn’t even asked for the female zerg’s name. 

“I’m going to marry that female.
You prepare for the wedding.” Lu Mo nodded, “My wedding can’t be simple, the grander the better.”

The butler’s eyes widened: “What–”

The Klein zerg wasn’t dead? What was more terrifying was that he had even seduced the young master?

“That’s right.” The male paused for a moment after he turned to leave, then back turned around and added, “One more thing.” 

The butler pricked up his ears with the last trace of hope and prayer.

An almost nasty smile appeared on the male’s face: “It has to be done according to the specifications of the female monarch, this will be the one and only wedding in my life, after all.”

 

The butler’s legs went soft.

Lu Mo’s words clearly declared that from then on, he would no longer marry other females. 

It would have been fine if it were any other female, but this was a Klein zerg.
This matter would definitely cause countless troubles for the young master.

“Young master, I cannot allow that! Young master, do you know what you are doing!

“Young master, they would definitely not have allowed it! Their only last wish was for me to take good care of you, you—”

“Shut up!” 

The brunette, emerald-eyed male shouted impatiently, saying each word deliberately, “It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs.”

The butler’s desperate expression and pleas were overwhelmed by the cheerful system prompts in Lu Mo’s mind.

[Scum value +1]

[Scum value +1] 

[Scum value +10]

His fist clenched with excitement.

After three years of continuous detours, he had finally gotten on to the right track!

… 

On a distant planet.

It was the Imperial Star of the zerg race, on a certain prosperous starship port.

A black-haired and black-eyed male had only just been smiling at Yan Yan, when he suddenly frowned slightly and covered his chest.

“What’s wrong with you?” 

Song Jianshu smiled reluctantly and said with a soft voice, “It’s nothing.
It’s just that I suddenly felt a little sad.”

Seeing his smile, the tall female opposite of him couldn’t help but blush while his heart frantically screamed: How could there be such a gentle male? Oh, my Mother Goddess! Is this real?

 

I really want to be his female, even being his female servant would be enough!! Or his sex slave was fine too!

If he could be with Song Jianshu, he would be able to do anything! 

A cold voice broke the atmosphere between them: “Master, let us go.”

The voice belonged to a strong and tall female in a military uniform.
The rank displayed on his shoulder revealed that his position wasn’t low.
Song Jianshu turned to him, his face showing a somewhat sad and bitter smile: “Wenge, will Ling really forgive me? I’m afraid…..”

“How dare he not?”

Wenge turned angry at even the thought. 

He had always found Ling unpleasant.
Ling had saved Song Jianshu’s life when he was a child, which had led to him becoming the white moonlight in Song Jianshu’s heart.
Still, obviously he was the female who will accompany Song Jianshu growing up!

Sure enough, there really were uneducated females.
Males in themselves were already immensely noble beings.
Males like Song Jianshu were even rarer in the world, as he treated all females with a respectful and gentle attitude.

He and three other females had worked hard to gain a place in Song Jianshu’s heart.
Which one of them was not considered a treasure by Song Jianshu?

As a result, Ling – a female – actually dared to put a black face on Song Jianshu.
And not only that, but even dared to run away? 

Wenge really wanted to persuade Song Jianshu to forget about Ling, but Song Jianshu was really so tenderhearted.
How could he rest assured when Ling just left without a word?

If it were another male, Ling would have had his wings broken a long time ago.
Even a few hundred strokes of the whip could barely calm the male’s anger.

——Really too spoiled.

As if sensing Wenge’s resentment, Song Jianshu narrowed his smile and said with a serious voice, “Wenge, Ling holds an important place in my heart.” 

“…I understand, I’ll accompany you to find him.”

But right before boarding the starship, Song Jianshu’s heart palpitated again.

He clutched his chest and his expression turned gloomy.

It was as if something in his control was gradually escaping his grasp…… It made him feel extremely uncomfortable. 

No matter what, they had to find Ling as quickly as possible.

“Wenge, can you hurry up?”

 

Wenge turned his back to Song Jianshu, feeling even more glum.
But that was wrong.
Song Jianshu already treated them as equally as possible.
It was all Ling’s fault.
In this way, he comforted himself in his heart, then responded, “Yes, master.”

The starship accelerated instantaneously, and disappeared into the vast universe.
