Andorra, who was detaining Desk, hadn't even sent him away yet. As soon as he opened the door to his room, he bumped into a furtive figure.
"!" Andor decisively abandoned Desk, shielding Shen Qingqing, who hadn't yet come out, behind him, and looked warily at the newcomer.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
A Zergling with long, white legs, wearing a tight leather skirt and a burgundy blouse, and a lace mask on his face, chuckled, "I am—"
"A messenger from hell, a heartless yet alluring fallen angel, a god who reigns over ancient beauty and wisdom..."
Beneath a half-face lace mask, red lips parted and opened, uttering an opening line that made everyone present feel somewhat embarrassed.
Well, I spent a whole day racking my brains to come up with this opening line. I didn't get any rest all night in order to have a powerful opening line!
Ge Yuan's red lips curved slightly, and she felt extremely dashing at this moment, like a chivalrous heroine in legends, or a free-spirited wanderer by the river, with every move exuding elegance, composure and ease.
"Oh." Andor showed no mercy, bypassing the still-imagining Goyu, and walked up to Desk, re-fastening his handcuffs.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you being so disrespectful? Andorra, you have no manners at all."
Ge Yuan grumbled, and although she was wearing a half-face mask, her displeasure was still evident in her tone.
It was covered up so hastily, making all her efforts throughout the night a joke.
Upon hearing the familiar voice and that cringeworthy, cringeworthy opening line, Shen Qingqing knew who the second uninvited guest to visit the temple was.
After all, apart from Geyuan, no other insectoid species in the entire Zerg race would go to such lengths to come up with an entrance speech.
"Long time no see, Ge Yuan," Shen Qingqing waved to her, "Where's Nordlin?"
Turning back, Ge Yuan subtly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Why is it that the first thing you think of when you see me is that guy instead of asking about my situation?"
"Hehe, aren't you two a couple? The official pairing?" A polite smile appeared on her fair face, and Shen Qingqing lightly poked her two index fingers together.
"Nordlin was a good guy; he left after dropping me off here." Ge Yuan casually filed her nails, occasionally extending her index finger to show off the rhinestones on her manicure.
"Since the new order was issued, nail salons and milk tea shops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The main entertainment area is almost full of small vendors, which can be considered as a boost to the development of the individual economy."
As she spoke, she tilted her head towards Shen Qingqing, showing off her newly done manicure, "Isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful, sparkly like a cat's eye."
"Hehehe, it was made in the backstreet of the entertainment district. I'll take you there sometime."
Andor, who was dragging Desk along like a dead pig, suddenly had his eyes clear and his tone firm and unwavering after hearing Ge Yuan say "I'll take you to play." It was as if a passive mechanism had been triggered. "No way."
Upon hearing this, Ge Yuan slowly turned around, her back to him now facing him. She leaned lazily on Shen Qingqing's shoulder and said, "Why do you meddle so much? Which star system does the Assistant Minister live in?"
"Moreover, now that the new decree has been issued, according to the law you have no right to restrain her."
But Andor turned around to face Ge Yuan and said in a deep voice, "I have no right to restrain a free insect, but there is always an exception to the law, and that is the insect mother."
"Any factor that could endanger the life of the Zerg queen must be eliminated unconditionally. This is a principle that the entire Zerg race has always acknowledged."
“Besides,” he changed the subject, his tone devoid of emotion, “you have already done quite a few things that have put the Queen in danger.”
Knowing he was in the wrong, Ge Yuan didn't bring up the matter again.
Andorra, being perceptive, and so the two insects, without prior agreement, decided to stop mentioning the matter.
"Don't hurt our relationship like this. We can sit down and talk it over." Shen Qingqing, whose mouth was covered by Ge Yuan, finally had a chance to speak and wanted to find an opportunity for the two of them to reconcile.
“I have nothing to talk to him about.”
"There's nothing for me to talk about with her."
Oh dear, this is awkward.
The two insects, who spoke at the same time, didn't even exchange a glance. Andor dragged Desk, while Ge Yuan held Shen Qingqing's hand, and together they walked silently towards the temple gate.
By this time, there were almost no other insects outside. Most of them had scattered because of the Third Elder's tyranny, or because they were busy with their partners, or because they lied that their pets had given birth. In short, all sorts of reasons made the little insects scatter.
Seeing that he was about to become a commander without troops, the Third Elder snorted heavily and left the temple without looking back.
So now the temple gates are very quiet, with only the crystal moonlight shining on the marble floor, like pearls being poured out.
In front of the temple is an arched gate, resembling the magnificent columns of ancient Greece standing in a row, high in the middle and low on both sides. Above, a single piece of marble in a semi-circular shape, carved with exquisite reliefs, sits on the six columns, together creating such a grand and glorious gate of triumph and glory.
Desk was quickly taken away by the arriving small fleet, and soon the three of them were left alone outside the silent temple.
Perhaps there are more than just the three of them here; there are two other figures huddled together on the archway, heads facing each other, secretly discussing something.
Andor, whose keenness and vigilance surpassed those of ordinary Zerg, naturally did not miss the two dark figures on the arched doorway. However, he did not make a sound. Instead, he exchanged a glance with Ge Yuan without making a sound, and then bowed and took his leave, leaving them alone.
Shen Qingqing, who was still unaware of the situation, found it very strange that the two insects, who had just been sulking with each other, had now left together.
"It's really rare to see the two of them so in sync."
Muttering to herself about the many troubles that would ensue tonight, Shen Qingqing prepared to return to the temple to think about the implementation of the new decree and how to persuade those old-fashioned people to accept it.
Before I even opened the temple doors, I felt a gentle pat on my shoulder.
"Ok?"
As he turned around, his pupils dilated instantly with excitement, his lips parted slightly involuntarily, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Vina, fourteen!"
At this moment, she could no longer care about being dignified and solemn, nor did she care that she was outside the temple. Shen Qingqing hugged the nearest golden-haired insectoid and jumped for joy.
"You, I thought you..."
Her voice was choked with emotion, as if she had hardly seen the two of them since she devoted herself to the construction of the Zerg information network.
"Qingqing, don't cry, we're back now." Vina wiped away her tears and comforted her softly.
At the same time, Fourteen, who was standing next to her, was nudged by Vina's elbow and murmured, "We're all still alive, that's the greatest fortune."
