Zerg Predator

Luo Tiantian was stunned—Ling Lie actually knew that he had been drugged?

Luo Tiantian felt a little uneasy. He looked at Ling Lie's indifferent eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Um, Ling Lie, how did you know that I...I was drugged?"

Ling Lie looked at him quietly and spoke slowly: "I saw it with my own eyes. At the opening dinner, Cao Zhan drugged the glass of wine he gave you, and you drank it all."

Luo Tiantian closed his eyes and tried to recall what happened that night. He remembered clearly that Cao Zhan almost used an imperative tone to force him to drink the glass of wine.

"So it was that day... I remember you appeared after I finished drinking. Then you told everyone that you were my unmarried queen." Luo Tiantian murmured.

"I wanted you to drop out of school, but you refused. You stood firmly on the side of that old fox Tailu and spoke for him." Ling Lie smiled, as if he remembered his helplessness that day.

"Why, do you regret it now? It's not too late to regret. I am still able to process your withdrawal procedures."

Luo Tiantian shook his head. Becoming a Saint's Son was the only way for a male insect to leave the Central Star. Even after knowing the inside story of the Saint's Son Academy, his desire to leave the Central Star only became more resolute.

"I... I saw Jiang Hua today." Luo Tiantian's voice trembled slightly.

"He was drugged by Tailu and some female soldiers. Tailu asked him to serve three officers. He clearly didn't want to, but after taking the drug, he actually obeyed Tailu's orders."

Ling Lie was a little confused: "Have they released a new fast-acting product? When you took that medicine, the effect was very slow."

Luo Tiantian nodded: "I heard Tailu say that the medicine he took is more advanced than the one I took, it works faster, and it will keep him conscious throughout the whole process.

I remember we went to the lounge that day, and I felt very tired after helping you mentally. Then I fell asleep. What happened after that? "

"Nothing happened." Ling Lie smiled and comforted, "You were sleeping soundly, and then Zhu Sha came in and took you home to rest."

Luo Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Lie with gratitude: "Is that so... Thank you so much. Fortunately, you are here. If you hadn't come out to save me, my fate that day would have been unimaginable."

Ling Lie smiled softly: "No need to thank me, you saved me too. If it weren't for you, I might have been sent to the compulsory matching center and had to be humble around some male insect with a bad personality."

Luo Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Then our engagement... is it really fake?"

Ling Lie heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head:

"I'm sorry, I lied to you, Tiantian. Because the person who forced you to drink that day was Cao Zhan, one of the three major military leaders. In the circle of the rich and powerful, playing... the unwritten rule when choosing the Holy Son is that first come, first served.

If I want to save you, I must come up with a legitimate reason to break this rule. I... they won't touch the Son of God, only the male lords of other nobles, so I announced in public that I am your future female lord."

Luo Tiantian's eyes widened - what Ling Lie wanted to say just now was definitely us, right? The Zerg's powerful circle is really full of villains, right?

Ling Lie smiled and continued, "But then I thought, since I helped you so much, I should get something in return, right?

Since this excuse has been made in public, let's just make it happen and help both of us get out of all the trouble. After all, if you want to be the Holy Son, you still need a high-ranking female monarch to be safe."

Luo Tiantian nodded: "Thank you, you have repeatedly reminded me before that the waters of Shengzi Academy are very deep, but I never understood. You... and Ren Qing, and Zhu Sha, you are really my saviors, thank you so much."

He bowed deeply to Ling Lie and Ren Qing. Ren Qing wanted to help him but was held down by Ling Lie.

"Tiantian, just move towards your dream. We will do our best to protect you." Ling Lie encouraged Luo Tiantian.

"Well, I'm going to go back first. I also want to prepare for the spiritual combing class. You guys are so kind to me, I also need to find a way to cure Ren Qing's spiritual sea as soon as possible."

In addition to preparing for his lessons, Luo Tiantian also wanted to video call Zhu Sha as soon as possible to thank him for protecting him.

Luo Tiantian trotted away. Ling Lie watched his back disappear in the elevator and smiled meaningfully.

"Master Xiong...really believed your lies." Ren Qing had a wooden expression. "He didn't even think about it. If you really wanted to help him, why did you wait until he finished drinking the drugged wine before rescuing him?"

"He has always been so naive that I just lured him back home with just a few words." Ling Lie smiled and shook his head, "But if I had known that his ability to sort out his spiritual sea was so strong, I would not have let him drink that glass of wine."

"Then why did you tell him that the engagement was fake?"

"Many people in the Holy Sons know about me, and it's inevitable that some of them gossip about me every day. Rather than let him doubt the authenticity of the engagement, it's better to let him owe me a favor."

Ling Lie smiled, "I really like when people owe me favors, the return rate is particularly high."

Ling Lie's hand hooked Ren Qing's chin, and his tone was tender: "As for you... my female servant, what should I make you owe me?"

"I owe you my life." Ren Qing replied calmly, "Without you and Luo Tiantian, I would have died long ago."

"Really? Then do you want to give me your life as compensation?"

"How to compensate?"

"Just change the clause in the prenuptial agreement that says your life belongs to you to say it belongs to me."

The sharp, elegant and indifferent smile gradually disappeared, and a rare seriousness appeared on his face.

"Since the winter in the spiritual sea is caused by the loss of the purpose of survival, are you willing to try to survive for me?"

Ren Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, his eyes full of complexity and helplessness:

"You know why I destroyed my face? Because it made me sick to look at it. You know why I like to play those exciting games? Because it made me sick to look at my body."

Ren Qing's voice was filled with an indescribable tiredness and despair. He lowered his head and his voice became even deeper:

"I am different from those insects that have lost their purpose in life and entered the winter. I want to die, not because I have no purpose in life, but because my life, my existence, makes me sick."

Ling Lie fell silent.

He could not participate in Ren Qing's past, nor could he interfere in Ren Qing's future.

"In that case, please compensate me while you are still alive!" Ling Lie forced a smile and pulled Ren Qing back to their punishment room.

The warm smell of grassland permeated the air, rushing in vain and despair, trying to bring a little warmth to the female insect trapped in the icy rain.
