StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

“This is what the Zerg should look like.” Celit stared fascinated at the queen bee soaking in the nutrient solution.

"The Zerg have evolved for tens of thousands of years, but they have only shed their shells. Insects are different. Even though they have not evolved humanoid bodies like us, they have retained their exoskeletons."

As she spoke, she pointed to the layers of abdominal plates on the queen bee's abdomen in the petri dish.

"No species in nature has ever had a mother as fragile as the insectoids. They are born with a powerful exoskeleton. Even the queen ant had wings before she became a queen ant, but the insect mother has nothing."

When the Queen Insect was mentioned, Celit looked disappointed and could only try to ease his longing by constantly stroking the glass.

"The queen insect has nothing, except pheromones. What do you think?"

He had already noticed that Shen Qingqing was awake, but he didn't expose her pretending to be asleep. Instead, he became interested in teasing her.

"I, I don't know..."

Faced with the sudden approach of Celit, Shen Qingqing forced herself to play dumb, but fortunately, that wasn't what Celit cared about.

But why are you so close to her?!

Shen Qingqing wanted to cry but had no tears: π_π

Don't come over here!

After witnessing Ge Yuan break down the door with her bare hands, she gained a deeper understanding of the gap between herself and the Zerg.

However, Celit didn't care what she was thinking and moved even closer.

He even buried his head in her loose hair and took a deep breath.

"You always seem to smell especially sweet."

Are we about to be discovered...?

Shen Qingqing was somewhat worried about what kind of predicament she would face if her identity were discovered at this time. After all, how could one expect insects that dared to mass-produce substitutes for the insect mother in such a blatant manner to respect and cherish the insect mother?

"Well... it's probably because it's been adrift in space for a long time and has been mutated by cosmic radiation... that's why it tastes like this..."

Shen Qingqing dared not breathe too loudly, for fear of giving herself away.

It was obvious that Celit wasn't listening to her. Instead, he moved closer on his own, picked up a strand of hair, and smelled it.

The gesture of picking up her hair was extremely gentle, but in Shen Qingqing's eyes it was terrifying.

The male insect, who not only looked like a vampire count but also acted like one, once again cupped her face, as if about to do something.

Shen Qingqing turned her head away from him.

What a joke! He looked like he wanted to strangle her a moment ago, but now he's suddenly become gentle.

There must be something fishy going on.

Her throat is still a bit sore.

I rubbed my neck uncomfortably, trying to make my fragile little neck feel better.

However, in Celit's eyes, this was a blatant rejection.

"You don't like being treated like this?" Celit's lips curled into a sneer, her tone icy. "Or do you prefer something gentler?"

"What?" Shen Qingqing didn't react for a moment.

Serit suddenly moved closer. They were so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Almost there, just a little bit more...

Shen Qingqing stared intently at the bright red lips in front of her.

He could kiss her forehead with just a slight tilt of his head.

The distance is just right, and the angle for a kiss is perfect. Celit lowered her head slightly, looking at that fluffy little head, and thought to herself.

The atmosphere was so ambiguous that it would be a shame not to do something about his carefully styled hair from that morning.

Lower your head and kiss him.

Gently, slowly...

Just one kiss...

"boom!"

In the slightly tipsy atmosphere, a loud explosion occurred, and then Ge Yuan retracted her long legs, her long hair flying as she stood in front of the light and shadow.

"Looks like I've interrupted your good time, Your Excellency."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to blow a kiss, which earned her the Earl's disdain.

"Is it really that hard to say hello? Ge Yuan Lan? Your personality hasn't changed at all in all this time."

Reluctantly retracting her fangs, she watched as the little creature she had just been holding hurriedly ran behind Ge Yuan.

They didn't even turn their heads?

Unaware that she had disturbed someone else's good time, Ge Yuan strode with an air of indifference, her red lips laced with aggressive sarcasm, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"It hasn't been that long, and you're already trying to steal people right under my nose. You really don't respect me at all."

“Ha, so what?” Celit scoffed. “Experimental subjects are public property. You only have temporary research rights to her. Ultimately, her ownership will depend on the experimental data.”

"And as far as I know, her physical attributes seem to be superior to 002's."

The count's small head, peeking out, blinked, his gloomy aristocratic air appearing even more alluring under the dim blue light.

“Selite, it’s your problem that you didn’t produce a qualified product.”

Ge Yuan tilted her head back, her mischievous expression revealing her true intentions. "What's wrong with the test subject? Have you ever thought about your own shortcomings all these years? Have you worked hard enough? Have you put your heart and soul into the experiment?"

Celite, who was inexplicably being manipulated, looked incredibly downcast. How come I never noticed before that she was so good at arguing?

Having mastered the essence of Earth's PUA language through systematic learning, Ge Yuan revealed a sinister smile.

"Instead of wasting time, you should reflect on yourself more. Also, 002's recent mood swings seem to be related to you. Remember to check on her when you have time."

Then, he swaggered away with Shen Qingqing, despite Count Selit's sour face.

On the way, Shen Qingqing asked curiously, "Ge Yuan, why does what you just said sound familiar?"

There was also a strange, sarcastic tone about her; was it just her imagination?

“Hi,” Ge Yuan waved his hand, revealing a humble yet proud expression, “I just learned the languages ​​of other planets, and it only took me less than a day!”

Shen Qingqing gave a thumbs-up in encouragement.

Ge Yuan smiled modestly.

“Speaking of Earth’s sayings, they’re quite interesting. The sarcastic remarks and PUA techniques they contain are unheard of by any other race in the universe. Even I, as a linguist, have to admit that I am not as good as them…” Ge Yuan exclaimed.

Upon hearing Ge Yuan mention the familiar Earth, Shen Qingqing perked up, eager to learn about the current state of the planet she once inhabited.

"..." Ge Yuan didn't say anything, but just asked her to eat another apple.

Her mouth was full of apples, making her speech slurred, but she still didn't forget her question.

"Ge Yuan, what's wrong with Earth right now...?"

"Earth... is a beautiful blue planet. Although I've never been there, according to data recorded in the history of the universe, it's a planet suitable for various carbon-based life forms. Nicholas is quite far from Earth. At the speed of our spaceship, it's estimated that it will take more than two hundred years to reach it."

"Two, two hundred years?!" Shen Qingqing was stunned on the spot.

According to her lifespan, she would have to borrow another hundred years or so from heaven before she could visit her hometown.

Earth, why are you so far away from me...?
