Zerg Predator

As the night deepened and the lights dimmed, this grand wedding ceremony slowly came to an end.

After seeing off the last VIP, Luo Tiantian, Ling Lie and Ren Qing looked at each other, with a hint of fatigue in their eyes.

Ling Lie raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Thank you for your hard work today. I just opened a new massage shop. The technicians there are much better than those at home. I will take you there to recover your condition."

"Massage shop? Then is it inconvenient for me to go there?" Luo Tiantian has been supplementing his knowledge of Zerg society recently, and has learned a lot of strange common sense, such as "where there are female Zergs, there are massage shops" and so on.

"What are you thinking about? My massage shop is not one of those low-end shops where sub-females provide special massages to female insects." Ling Lie looked at Luo Tiantian with a smile.

"Isn't a massage parlor a shop where sub-females give soothing treatments to female insects? Are there any other types? The technicians in your shop aren't sub-females?"

Ren Qing was puzzled. Like Luo Tiantian, he only knew about those massage shops where sub-females devoted themselves to soothing the bodies of female insects.

"Of course she's a sub-female, but not one that provides special massages..."

On the way to the massage parlor, Ling Lie explained to Luo Tiantian and Ren Qing.

"My technicians are professional sub-female masseurs. From the time they are insect cubs, their eyesight is sealed and they undergo rigorous training for 18 hours a day.

Only in this way can one develop an extremely keen sense of touch, and also practice perfect control of every small muscle in the body, and accurately switch the degree of insectization of any small part of the hand.

Ultimately, we can achieve perfect satisfaction for our guests without any communication, and make them feel happy physically and mentally.”

"Since he was a cub...training for 18 hours a day? And with his eyes blindfolded...won't his eyes be damaged?" Luo Tiantian couldn't believe it.

"There are many who are blind, so they are disqualified from entering high-end shops like ours. But they have good massage skills, so lower-end shops are willing to buy them."

Ling Lie doesn't care about the Tao.

"Why do you treat them like this... They are also insects, not machines."

Luo Tiantian felt a breath in his chest, which he couldn't breathe out or swallow.

"Sub-females... Aren't they just insect babies mass-produced by machines? They're similar to machines, right?"

Ling Lie didn't understand what Luo Tiantian was angry about and glanced at Ren Qing.

"Well, just use it as a machine." Ren Qing nodded. He also didn't understand what Luo Tiantian was angry about.

"I don't understand..." Luo Tiantian suppressed his anger.

"Aren't genetic bugs also offspring of machines? Why are genetic bugs not machines, but sub-females are machines?"

"Genetic bugs have female fathers!" Ling Lie and Ren Qing said in unison.

"Gene worms are eggs hatched in vitro by placing the female worm's own genes and the male worm's genes he bought into a culture apparatus." Ling Lie patiently explained the science to Luo Tiantian.

"Essentially, genetic bugs and natural bugs are the same. It's just that genetic bugs are the choice of bugs, while natural bugs are the choice of bug gods, so natural bugs are more noble."

"The reproduction of sub-females is completely different. They are inferior life forms that are randomly matched by the reproduction machine according to the battlefield and production needs. They don't even have the ability to reproduce. They are just consumables."

"I remember your family bought a lot of sub-female servants when you were a child. Have you ever tried to communicate with them?"

Ling Lie asked Luo Tiantian with a smile.

"I have tried..." Luo Tiantian lowered his head. When he was a child, his original self wanted to have a friend, but the female child only bowed and said nothing in response to his request.

"Didn't succeed?" Ling Lie seemed to have known the answer long ago. "Sub-females are just tools. They are not qualified to perform any actions beyond their authority."

"But they are insects too, and have emotions just like us..." Luo Tiantian felt very uncomfortable.

"No need to think so much." Ling Lie patted Luo Tiantian's shoulder.

"The natural foods you eat are also living things, and they have emotions. Living things can only survive by devouring each other."

When the masseur was massaging Luo Tiantian, Luo Tiantian felt firsthand the "professionalism" that Ling Lie mentioned.

Their palms during massage will switch between insectization and non-insectization at any time according to the needs, ensuring that every muscle of the customer can get the most appropriate strength.

Under the masseur's exquisite techniques, I felt as if the fatigue after a day of hard work was washed away by drizzle, and I gained deep relaxation and relief.

However, Luo Tiantian couldn't help but look at the masseur's eyes.

"Are your eyes uncomfortable?" he asked the masseur softly.

As expected, the masseur did not respond.

"Tiantian, you've been busy with your studies lately, haven't you? How are you feeling? Is it hard? Do you need me to help you apply for fewer classes?"

Ling Lie noticed Luo Tiantian's actions and tried to divert his attention.

Luo Tiantian replied in a low voice: "Tomorrow, my spiritual sea combing class will start the practical operation. During this period of time, I learned a lot of basic theories and I can feel that I have made great progress.

If possible, after the practical class, I hope to enter Ren Qing’s spiritual sea again and see if I can dispel the clouds this time.”

Ren Qing nodded gently with an inclusive smile on his face.

"Of course, Lord. You are always welcome to come to my spiritual sea to practice. Your treatment last time helped me a lot, and I believe you can do better this time."

Ling Lie also interrupted, "Tiantian, if you have a class you particularly like, I can also hire a few experts to tutor you."

"That's not necessary for now." Luo Tiantian shook his head, "My current teacher, Mr. Shengzi, has explained it very clearly in my spiritual combing class."

"Do you want to ask your current teacher, Mr. Shengzi, to help you with your tutoring?" Ling Lie asked again.

"It seems... not possible?" Luo Tiantian frowned. "I heard that he has committed a serious crime. Will the academy allow a teacher with a bad record to be a tutor for students?"

"How can a bug who has committed a serious crime be a teacher? What crime did he commit?" Ling Lie was very dissatisfied.

"It seems that... he privately judged the battlefield situation and issued the Holy Son's Order to massacre friendly countries?" Luo Tiantian recalled Yin Li's words.

"Teacher Jiang Hua's classes are always very lively and her attitude towards us is also very good. I really can't understand why such a serious and responsible Holy Son would commit such a serious crime."

"You mean... his name is Jiang Hua?" Ling Lie and Ren Qing looked at each other and sneered on their faces.

Ling Lie spoke slowly, his voice gloomy: "Tiantian, this is exactly why I emphasized before that you must find a backer in the military.

Jiang Hua did not issue the order to massacre friendly planets without authorization. He just repeated Marshal Cao Zhan's order completely. "

Ren Qing also added: "Although Cao Zhan was given the bad reputation of being an interstellar butcher, the one who was actually punished and bore the consequences was the Son of God who carried out his orders, Jiang Hua."

"How could this be? Why did they deprive him of his power to issue orders from the Sons of Heaven? Why did the Sons of Heaven say that he issued orders without authorization and that he was a negative example?"

"What do you think? If the Holy Son is not allowed to take the blame, won't it be a disgrace to the military?" Ling Lie smiled contemptuously.

"But..." Luo Tiantian felt that this was simply too unfair.

"My Lord, in the final analysis, the Holy Son is just a pawn in the hands of the rulers and dignitaries of the empire." Ren Qing spoke earnestly, trying to persuade Luo Tiantian to be more open-minded. Unexpectedly, he received a look from Ling Lie that stopped him from continuing.

"Tiantian, you don't have to think too much." Ling Lie comforted Luo Tiantian softly, "You have me and Ren Qing. No one in the Holy Court dares to cause trouble for you or put the blame on you."

"Well, luckily you guys are here..."

Luo Tiantian felt a chill in his heart as he finally realized that this seemingly peaceful and beautiful Zerg society actually contained a lot of evil and darkness.

In the silence of the night, Luo Tiantian lay in his bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"The Son of God is just a pawn in the hands of the empire's rulers and dignitaries."

"Life can only exist by devouring each other."

Ren Qing and Ling Lie's words were like a bombshell, exploding in his heart and shaking every nerve ending of his.

He had thought that the Son of God would be a cause worth striving for, but he now understood that the Son of God was just a handy tool for the rulers and dignitaries of the empire to enslave the female insects and sub-females.

They can devour it anytime they need it.

Luo Tiantian didn't know whose tool he would become, and who would devour him in the end.

The imperial nobles...are they fierce?

An unknown fear surged in Luo Tiantian's heart. He couldn't help but recall Yin Li's words - "It wasn't you who cheated on me, it was Ling Lie."

Did his engagement with Ling Lie really exist?
