Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Govy stopped thinking about whether Richard had given Yekaterin some kind of spell or something.

She was still a little reluctant to give up the Essence Insect Liquid. After all, the sooner she became a fourth-tier fully evolved being, the further she could go in the future…

And right now, she and Ge Luoluo don't have any trustworthy channels or connections to obtain enough advanced materials.

The corpses of the Papal Demon Worms are no cheap commodity. Her and Glolo's current assets consist only of that shop in Stormwind City…

A duchess like Yekaterin.

She was definitely implanted with the host worm at birth, and the worm and host are perfectly compatible, not to mention there must have been plenty of magical potions to boost her growth rate...

but,

Goldwell finally made up her mind:

"Since you've gone to such lengths, if there's enough essence insect fluid, can I have a share? You can't possibly eat it all, can you?"

"The essence of insect venom is acceptable! But not for humans!"

Yekaterin replied quickly.

This can be considered as agreeing to Goldie's suggestion.

Seeing Yekaterin's unwavering resolve, Govi ​​thought to herself:

It's as if I really like Richard. If he weren't a decent person, a nobleman with principles, I wouldn't even bother with him…

Govi neither answered nor nodded. It was unclear whether she had agreed to Yekaterin's suggestion.

If you don't answer, I'll assume you agree.

However, since Geve did not object, Yekalin took it as tacit agreement in her heart.

Because these Papal Knight and Alchemist sisters held a significant place in her heart.

Even Yekaterin was unwilling to offend them easily. Just the fact that they knew the fusion formula and abilities of the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen...

If things really fall apart, and they release the information... my situation will only become more difficult. Whether it's the political climate or my personal innocence...

Not to mention, Govi ​​is the future Primarch seed of the Papal Legion; many high nobles are interested in Glolo's research.

These are all things this noble lady needs to consider; we can't act recklessly based on her likes and dislikes.

But Richard obviously doesn't need to think about that much.

He was just a minor pioneering lord, a member of a collateral branch of his family. Once he established a border fortress, he could return to the inner world to retire.

"I'm still here, is it really okay to bring this up in front of me...?"

"A clear division of benefits is a prerequisite for pleasant cooperation, isn't it?"

Yekaterin smiled at Richard. Aside from her appearance, she truly lacked the naiveté of an ordinary young girl.

"You're right. Now that you've reached an agreement, may I go back and rest?"

Richard just wanted to get away from the stage that he had set up.

If they continue chatting, he might end up getting involved, taking sides, and cleaning up the mess.

"You're leaving already?"

Yekalin pushed it away, and Richard returned the telepathic conch to her.

"A third-stage mature insect, you don't want it?"

"Here you go. Consider it a reward for commanding the city's defenses..."

Third-stage mature insect eggs start at 100,000 Dio coins. Third-stage mature insects can easily fetch five or six times the price on the market.

Even though the Sound-Transmitting Conch Beetle requires two to be used in pairs, one Sound-Transmitting Conch Beetle would still cost at least 400,000 Dior Coins.

Richard mentally appraised the value of the little conch shell. He couldn't help but be surprised that Yekaterin treated money so casually, even as a gift to him.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll accept it..."

"You are not allowed to sell it! And you are not allowed to sell it even after you return to the inner world!"

Yekalin seemed to have guessed Richard's thoughts, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Richard really thought so:

Because the communication conch beetles can only be used in pairs, they are useless without a second one. They can only be sold for money…

But how could Richard not have guessed?

What does this noble lady mean...?

He was just thinking to himself:

Does she really have to be this nice to me? The deal was simply that I would exchange my essence insect fluid for a duke's title, and she would help me build a fortress.

This cooperative relationship will last at most two months. Even if I return to the inner world with the title of Duke, Stormwind in the outer world and the actual power of the Duke will have nothing to do with me...

Richard thought of all this.

He truly didn't understand why Yekaterin had gone to such great lengths.

A rational person would never believe in love at first sight.

Yekalin must have some interests that I haven't noticed!

What did Yekaterin want from me?

I've already promised her my essence insect venom.

The batch of mushroom worms had been handed over to her in advance; she hadn't kept any for herself.

She has a pioneer team of less than a hundred people under her command. Would she really be interested in such a small number?

Eliminate all possibilities.

The least likely one?

Could she really have fallen for me?!

How could this happen!

Just because of her dream? How frivolous!

To be honest, I really like her voice, her temperament, her appearance, her fashion sense, and her shrewd way of handling things...

There are many things that Richard likes about her... I feel like I could list a hundred...

But such dramatic emotions are really hard to accept!

Richard is a traditional man.

How long have he known Yekaterin? Less than two days! Less than 48 hours! On Earth, that wouldn't even be enough time to open an investigation!

Although there was indeed some intimate contact, like hugging and cuddling, it just went too fast!

Let's take it one step at a time...

"Then I won't sell it..."

"Then you can go back now."

Seeing Richard so obedient, Yekaterin's lips curled into a clear smile.

"Wait!?" Richard realized.

"What's wrong?"

"Where are my clothes?!"

When Yekaterin chased the citizens away, she also took his clothes!

"Hiss~"

Richard had been busy preparing abalone and hadn't felt particularly cold. But after that brainstorming session, his body was finally idle—how could he not feel cold?!

The atmosphere was already a bit unpleasant, but this guy messed it up...

Glolo was already covering her mouth and chuckling.

Gossy then took a closer look at Richard: she had to admit that this guy had a pretty good physique.

But only Yekaterin cared whether he was cold!

"Are you going to retrieve your clothes, or to the Duke's mansion?"

Richard didn't even know which workshop the citizen belonged to, so how was he supposed to find him?

As for going to the Duke's mansion? Why go to the Duke's mansion? Can't we just go back to the Pioneers Apartments?

Yekalin guessed what Richard was thinking again.

"The barracks are in the south of the city, and the pioneer apartments are in the north. Since we'll be passing the Duke's mansion in the center anyway... why don't we go to my place first? I'll make you some green tea bud tea..."

! !

Upon hearing that there was green tea worm tea to drink, Richard no longer felt cold.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Richard strode off with great momentum, not caring whether Yekaterin could keep up...

Can't keep up? Are you kidding me!

Yekalin is a third-tier mature being, even if the insects inside her aren't combat-oriented. Her physique is still far superior to mine.

Richard thought to himself...

But the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen... isn't it really not a combat-oriented type? Does fighting in bed not count as fighting?
