Insect King's husband selection criteria

wow.

The bathtub was filled with warm water mixed with flower petals, Ji Xian leaned in the water, his arms spread out to be scrubbed by the insect servants, his eyes were lightly closed.

After a while, a worm waiter came to report: "Your Majesty, Ji Beichen wants to see you."

Ji Xian opened his eyes and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Ji Beichen has already changed into a clean insect servant uniform - I don't know if it is Ji Xian's illusion, he feels that Ji Beichen is now much more "handsome" than before.Those sharp edges that were originally hidden and tucked away were exposed openly.

"His Majesty."

Ji Beichen knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Ji Xian didn't wake him up, "Do you need me?"

Ji Beichen: "I will serve His Majesty."

"You should serve my garden."

"I feel His Majesty needs me now."

"..."

Ji Xian smiled and did not refute.

He closed his eyes again, raised his right index finger, and the scrubbing worm stepped back. Ji Beichen got up and took the soft sponge from the worm's hand, and took over his work just now.

Ji Xian didn't speak, neither did Ji Beichen.

He carefully wiped Ji Xian's body that was not dirty, but his eyes crossed the water, tracing Ji Xian's body inch by inch.

"looking at what?"

Ji Xian didn't know when he opened his eyes again, staring at Ji Beichen.

Ji Beichen said frankly, "I'm looking at your body."

"Does it look good?"

"..." Ji Beichen was silent for a moment, before answering the question: "It's very similar to my body."

"Nonsense." Ji Xian rolled his eyes.

Ji Beichen added: "But I don't have this."

He stared at the quietly dormant thing under Ji Xian's belly.

Ji Xian glanced at him, then immediately woke up: "You, don't you have this?"

Compared to Ji Xian's surprise, Ji Beichen seemed much calmer.

"I'm a waste worm. Waste worms and larvae don't have a complete worm shape, so they don't have the qualifications to reproduce. And for mimicry, this kind of organ is redundant. But your majesty is a king, so it's special."

"..."

Why does this sound like I have this thing or a "flaw"?

Ji Xian hesitated to speak.

He looked at Ji Beichen's handsome face, which was very appealing to him, and then made up the image of his body without tools.

... He felt that he had lost some of his worldly desires.

Ji Xian comforted Ji Beichen and himself: "It's okay, your degeneration line has grown again, and transformation will happen sooner or later."

Ji Beichen was silent, and he didn't seem to be happy about it.

Ji Xian was surprised: "What? You don't want yourself to transform?"

Ji Beichen: "I hope that there is no useless worm who would not wish for such a miracle."

"Then what are you upset about?"

"I'm not unhappy....Your Majesty, if I transform, where will you transfer me?"

"It depends on what species you are. Butterflies, moths and beetles are fine. If it's flies and mosquitoes, then you can get a sum of money and go out of the palace by yourself."

After Ji Xian finished speaking, he sighed—it's a pity that he will never see Ji Beichen's handsome face soon.

"correct."

Ji Xian turned over and lay down on the edge of the bathtub, resting his arms on his pillow to let the insect waiter wipe his back, "Go get your collar, I won't need it anyway. When you leave here one day, think about it outside. It’s hard to take it off.”

But Ji Beichen refused: "Before the metamorphosis, please let me keep it."

Ji Xian wondered, "Why keep it?"

"mark."

"Ah?... Hiss!"

Ji Xian suddenly took a deep breath from the pain, and the slough line was rubbed sorely.

The worm waiters in the room immediately knelt on the ground in unison, their foreheads hit the floor with a "bang", pleading guilty in trepidation.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Ji Xian wasn't angry, but the bug attendants were shaking non-stop, as if Ji Xian in the bathtub was a hungry ghost who would tear them apart in the next second.

How many people desire this kind of fear?Ji Xian doesn't know, and he doesn't desire it either.He only felt that there was a ball of dull cotton in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortably stuffy.

"Go down," he said.

"Yes."

The worm waiters heaved a sigh of relief as if they had escaped from death, tiptoed away quietly and quickly.

click.

The door was closed, and only Ji Beichen and Ji Xian were left in the bathroom.

Incredibly quiet.

Ji Beichen picked up a handful of warm water and poured it on Ji Xian's sloughing line, which just landed on the place where it hurt just now.

Ji Xian immediately turned his shoulders to avoid it, frowned and said, "Itchy."

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

Ji Beichen apologized without much sincerity, and then changed to a sponge that was saturated with water, avoiding the sloughing line to scrub Ji Xian's back.

"The molting line is very sensitive when it grows rapidly. You'd better not wear that kind of tight human clothes in the future, it will hurt."

Ji Xian didn't respond.

Ji Beichen added: "Your molting line has turned golden, very beautiful."

"..."

Ji Xian turned to look at Ji Beichen, and asked, "Are you comforting me?"

Ji Beichen: "I'm telling the truth, but I'm also trying to comfort you. ——The insect servants know the kind of king Lord Lei An described, and they fear that kind of king, not because of you."

Ji Xian was noncommittal, and asked instead: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"I adore you."

"You don't want to eat me?"

"Yes, but I won't try to kill you again."

"Don't kill me but want to eat me, what's the matter, want to engage in sustainable development?"

Ji Beichen: "..."

Ji Beichen got up, took two steps to walk in front of Ji Xian, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, I am swearing my loyalty to you."

Ji Xian was surprised, but he didn't believe it right away.

"Loyalty? Just yesterday, in this bedroom, you said that you can only be honest with me. You can be loyal in just one day?"

Ji Beichen: "I am honest with you because you treat me as an equal and respect me. I am loyal to you because you did not kill me."

Ji Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean?"

Ji Beichen: "In Currency Street, you gained power as soon as you woke up, but when I threw you down and was about to bite you, you didn't use the royal power to kill me."

Sure enough, he noticed.

Ji Xian sighed inwardly, he didn't bother to pretend anymore, and said, "That's because I know I can kill you."

Ji Beichen: "Yes, but you didn't kill me."

"..."

Ji Xian sneered: "Because I gave you a name before, this time I let you die because of my interest. Is your loyalty so easy?"

Ji Beichen: "You think it's easy because you have the quality of kindness. So you don't think this kindness is so precious.

"Like a piece of gold that a rich man gives to a beggar, to the rich it is no different from a piece of bread that he doesn't want to eat, but to the beggar, this may be an opportunity to change the trajectory of his life.

"And what you gave me is far more precious than gold coins."

Ji Xian was silent.

He believed what Ji Beichen said, but his loyalty was another matter.

Ji Beichen seemed to have heard Ji Xian's voice.He added: "I'm just telling you about this, not asking for your trust."

After that, he got up and walked back to the bathtub, picked up a wet sponge and continued to wipe Ji Xian, and changed the subject.

"I have also counted the antiques you bought, will I bring them to you later?"

Ji Xian is not in the mood for this meeting, "...Let it go to your place first."

"Yes. Then can I see it? - You asked me to learn how to become more like a human being. I hope to fulfill your wishes before transforming."

"Do you understand?"

"I'll find a way."

"what ever."

Ji Beichen said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ji Xian remained silent.

He lay on the bathtub, feeling complicated, but he had to admit that Ji Beichen's "confession" really comforted him.

Maybe one day I will actually trust him.

—— Ji Xian thinks so.

Crash.

The sound of water gently echoed in the bathroom, Ji Xian slowly closed his eyes.

Half asleep and half awake, he felt his butt being touched. —— Ji Xian immediately woke up.

Whoa!

The water in the bathtub was stirred up into waves.

Ji Xian stared at Ji Beichen with wide eyes.

Ji Beichen held a sponge in his hand, splashed a few drops of water on his face, looked at Ji Xian with a confused face, and asked, "Is Your Majesty dreaming?"

Ji Xian glanced at the sponge in his hand, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

"Cough. No. It's almost done. Bring me some clothes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ji Beichen put down the sponge, turned around and went to pick up the prepared clothes.

As soon as Ji Beichen left, Ji Xian secretly scratched his butt underwater.

"..."

Is it because you have been holding back for too long?

·

The worm waiters prepared a set of "human clothes" for Ji Xian, and after putting them on, Ji Xian found that what Ji Beichen said was right—it felt very itchy when the material rubbed against the molting line.

Although Ji Xian doesn't like wearing back clothes, he's not even a masochist.

He took off his shirt, and as soon as he asked someone to pick up his clothes again, Leian came over with the clothes on his back.Obviously he had expected that Ji Xian would need clothes.

"His Majesty."

Leian saluted and presented the clothes, "You have entered a transformation period, I think you will need these clothes."

Ji Beichen stepped forward to take the clothes, and held them in front of Ji Xian.

Lei An glanced at Ji Beichen, but said nothing.

Ji Xian picked up the clothes and took a look - it's okay, the back isn't opened too much.

Chong Shi set up the screen to change clothes for Ji Xian.

Ji Xian asked Lei An through the screen: "What is the origin of that group?"

Leian: "They're all from the Western Continent. Judging from the source of the seized weapons, they should be Baharo's subordinates."

"Bajaro again. Haven't got him yet?"

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"Okay." Ji Xian didn't blame him, "The Western Continent is so big, and there are no insect guards stationed there, so it's normal to have difficulty moving. By the way, where is Banda Aceh?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness. That Banda Aceh is indeed the thief who was expelled back then. We have already contacted him. He promised to help find Baharo. I believe there will be news soon."

"Ah."

Ji Xian responded and walked out from behind the screen.

He was still dressed in white, with a palm-width slit from the back collar to his waist, and a very thin gold chain was connected between the slits, and the refracted golden spots fell on Ji Xian's snow-white skin. on the fabric.

Ji Beichen looked at Ji Xian's back and thought it was extremely beautiful.

Ji Xian walked to the chair and sat down, and asked Leian, "How is the situation in Marshall?"

Following Ji Xian's change of direction, Lei An replied respectfully, "I was shot in the abdomen, and I'm still in a coma, but the doctor said there is no life-threatening danger."

"Taken a 'shot'?"

Ji Xian bit the word "one", with a smile that was not a smile, "It's lucky, Ji Beichen got several holes in his body, other insects would have died there, and Marshall was not shot—it seems He passed out just in time."

Leian: "..."

Lei An knelt down on one knee, "We are the ones who failed to protect His Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's not your fault, it's because I didn't let people follow you—this time you are very obedient. I'm very satisfied."

Leian didn't take the compliment, and buried his head even deeper.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Ji Xian silently looked at the top of Leian's head, a huge coercion hovered over Leian's head, like a monster, thinking of which angle to plunge its tentacles into Leian's brain.

But in the end it didn't act either.

Ji Xian withdrew his gaze, pressed between his eyebrows, and said, "Today I saw the Earthworm Subway and the Mushroom Square in Daze Township. I heard that those are all biotechnology, and our Crystal Palace is a masterpiece."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leian got up and took a prepared board from another bug attendant—it turned out to be an electronic product that Leian "disdains" the most.

He handed the board to Ji Xian, and said, "This is all about Trebicia's current technology, weapons, and military affairs. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime."

Ji Xian took the board, but didn't open it.

"Only from Trebicia?"

"Temporarily yes. But soon there will be more."

Leian knelt down again, looking at Ji Xian with fanaticism, "Your Majesty, please issue a call to the Western Continent!"

The author says:

Broken thoughts:

Ji Beichen's loyalty is not only because of "not being killed", or it is not even because of this.The real reason is that he "woke up" Ji Xian.

In fact, let's think about it objectively. Under the circumstances at that time, Ji Beichen didn't need to stop Ji Xian. First, Ji Xian was an indiscriminate killer at this time, and second, his background destined his moral standards to be not so high.

So why did he stop it? ——Because he wanted to protect that "kind" Ji Xian.He stopped it not to save the larva, but for Ji Xian.

The deeper reason is that he equated "the benevolent Ji Xian" in his heart as a concrete imagination of all his good sides.He unconsciously wants to protect this "truth, goodness and beauty", or "Utopia".

And Ji Xian also gave back to Ji Beichen's "sobriety" - Ji Xian's reaction after waking up, further strengthened Ji Beichen's "benevolent" positioning of Ji Xian.

·

Can it be said that Ji Beichen is actually loyal to himself (goodness)?

No.

Because the independent Ji Beichen couldn't even realize this kindness, it was Ji Xian's appearance that allowed him to see the "new world".His loyalty is one of protection and love.
