StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

He sat listlessly in front of the door, wondering if there was any way to leave.

After all, she had important matters to attend to, and the drive mechanism Saenster had given her was still...

Ok?

Where's the little ball?

Shen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she frantically groped around.

did not find.

Could it have been lost during the journey?

This is really trouble!

But she clearly remembered putting it away properly; she couldn't lose that little thing even if she lost it.

What are we going to do now?!

……

"What the hell is this?"

Fourteen fell down from the tree, and the small round ball that had been tossed into the air landed steadily in his hand.

If you look at it against the light, it seems to glow inside.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing here; it must have been brought by the female.

Isn't that female a Zergling here?

But he could clearly smell the insectoid pheromones on her.

The small ball of light tumbled back and forth in his hand. Fourteen didn't want to think about it anymore; after all, it was his spoils, and how he dealt with it was his business.

It's not easy to start a fire in the rainforest, so he planned to ask the high priest for some kindling. Besides, the high priest was all-powerful and would surely know where the female came from.

Thinking this, we arrived at the altar.

The high priest usually stays in the small treehouse next to the altar, and he will never come out unless there are insectoids in the tribe who need medicine to heal their wounds.

"fourteen!"

A girl saw Fourteen coming and quickly ran out of the bushes and shouted loudly.

Fourteen, on the other hand, didn't care at all, and didn't even turn his head.

Seeing that Fourteen was ignoring her, Vina pouted and said unhappily, "Why do you always ignore me? You always pretend you can't see me... Hey, I'm talking to you."

Vina hurriedly followed him, rambling on and on about how much she missed him.

"Why do you always avoid me? It's such a hassle to find you every time."

"..."

Fourteen climbed up the tree without a word and reached out to knock on the door, but Vina stopped him.

"When are you going to stop avoiding me?!" Vina said angrily, her little face full of indignation.

Since he turned fourteen, he hasn't played with her much anymore, and he always says things like he's an adult now and not a child anymore.

But she'll be an adult soon, so why not play with her?

Is it because she is not yet an adult?

Vina, growing angrier the more she thought about it, slapped Fourteen's raised hand aside and angrily questioned him.

Fourteen looked at the hand that Vina had slapped away, raising an eyebrow as if surprised by her actions.

"Don't play dumb, you haven't answered my question yet."

Fourteen grabbed Vina's head, which was baring its teeth and claws, and continued knocking on the door over her head.

The high priest said that one should knock before entering, as this is polite and shows one's proper adulthood.

Before he could knock, the door creaked open, revealing a child in a cloak.

The child was short, with a chubby face, but his eyes were unusually sharp.

"It's for that female, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Fourteen nodded, walked past Vina, and entered the treehouse.

"Female?" Vina asked doubtfully. "What female? Fourteen, have you been picking up things behind my back again?"

The treehouse was very dark, and Fourteen had never been inside the high priest's house; he had only ever stood under the tree and looked at it from afar.

After the high priest lit the lamps, the entire room was gradually enveloped in a halo of light.

Although the room was small, it was very tidy. All the books and medicinal herbs were arranged in an orderly manner. In the middle of the room was a large pot, which was bubbling and boiling, as if something was being cooked.

“I know you came for her,” the high priest jumped off the stool and added some herbs to the pot, “but she doesn’t belong here.”

“I know,” Fourteen said indifferently, “but she can’t eat raw food, so I just came to borrow a light.”

Fourteen was not interested in learning medicine from the High Priest, so he refused without hesitation when the High Priest invited him when he was a child.

Fourteen didn't like being constantly immersed in the smell of herbs.

He prefers to wield his scimitar, tracking predators through the rainforest and enjoying the thrill of being a hunter.

The high priest's small face fell, revealing a serious and earnest expression that did not match his appearance.

“She will bring disaster to this place; you shouldn’t keep her.”

"That's so boring." Fourteen sat to the side, his silver hand flashing and occasionally making a buzzing sound as if the air was being cut.

“I’ve lived here for so many years, and apart from the Zerg in the tribe, I haven’t seen any other Zerg compatriots,” he said, slumping in his chair. “Oh, right, there’s this one too.”

After saying that, a small white ball was thrown out.

As the high priest examined her closely, he spoke up: "This was found on her."

Upon hearing this, the high priest froze, his small body stiff.

He simply couldn't believe what Fourteen had said.

"You're saying this was found on her?"

"Hmm, what's the problem?" This was the first time he had seen the high priest show any expression other than seriousness.

No longer caring about anything else, the High Priest stared at the familiar drive core, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

It seems that the Zerg that Fourteenth has brought this time are not ordinary Zerg.

"Take me to her quickly!"

……

Almost starving, Shen Qingqing idly counted the number of stone bricks on the ground, wondering if she would starve to death in a desolate place.

Suddenly, two people appeared in front of them.

To be precise, there are three.

A child jumped off Fourteen and walked closer, saying in a childish voice, "Are you the female that Fourteen brought back from the rainforest?"

Shen Qingqing nodded, not understanding what the little boy in front of her wanted to do; her nodding was merely a subconscious action.

The little boy paced back and forth, resting his chin on his hand, looking just like a little adult.

Then he asked, "Where are you from?"

Just as Shen Qingqing was wondering whether she should come up with an excuse to get away with it, the little boy spoke up again: "Are you from Wang Xing?"

"!!!"

How did he know?!

Seeing the subtle changes in Shen Qingqing's expression, he knew he had guessed correctly.

He casually tossed the small ball to Fourteen, his eyes fixed on her.

Their eyes met, sparks flying and lightning flashing between them.

Have you ever heard of Saenster?

Fourteen, who was resting against the door frame, added, "That Zerg defector."

The two short sentences contained too much information for Shen Qingqing's brain to process, leaving her staring blankly at the little boy.

"He is... a defector?"

"Hmm," the little boy nodded, and said solemnly, "Could it be that you came from Wang Xing but have never heard of his deeds?"

Shen Qingqing shook her head blankly.

The first person she met after transmigrating was Saenster, so how could she possibly know about his past?

"He really doesn't know," the young boy thought, a hint of unease flashing in his deep green eyes.

"The Zerg thrived for ten thousand years, but about two hundred years ago, the Zerg Queen died, plunging the Zerg into a dark age. And Tharnster—"

Upon hearing his name, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but look up.

The high priest pointed with his arm to the stone tablet in the center of the temple.

"He is the culprit who caused the death of the insect queen!"
