How does it feel to say something bad about a bug in front of you, only to be caught in the back by the bug in question?
Guilty? disturbed? Or maybe overwhelmed with guilt?
There is no Tang wine.
Even Tang Jiu himself didn't expect that when he revealed his true thoughts about Alessio under Yilin's provocation, and turned around and was hit by the person involved, that moment he was filled with emotions. What he felt in his heart was an indescribable sense of relief.
Yes, it was a relief.
In the eyes of uninformed bugs and even the system, he seemed to get along very well with Alessio, and the progress of the strategy had also increased from 10% to 30%. It seemed that as long as he followed this path step by step, he would be able to achieve success. Take down the villain and get everything.
But Tang Jiu knew that was not the case.
From beginning to end, he and Alessio were playing a tacit love game. Tang Jiu liked his supreme power, and Alessio liked his beautiful appearance and cunning and cute temperament. He knew it well, but he invariably pretended to be in love with him: Alessio would tolerate all his weird thoughts and ideas, and he would give stars to stars and moon to moon, and Tang Jiu would cooperate and behave like He is a male insect who is passionately in love.
But this is the extreme of 30%.
If you want to move up the 30% progress bar, it cannot be solved by just playing ambiguously.
Yilin exposed it at this time, which actually helped him a lot.
In my mind, the system is still scrambling for the sudden packet capture: [What to do, what to do! When did the villain stand there? Then didn’t he hear everything? Our strategy progress will not be reset to zero directly, right? 】
Tang Jiu blinked: [Would it return to zero? Just go and see and you will know? 】
System: [Yes! 】
A second later, the system came back excitedly: [Really! My favorability has not dropped at all. How did you do it, host? 】
Tang Jiu did not answer this question.
He looked at Yilin not far away, who was staring at him with the same intensity at the moment, resentment and unwillingness almost written on his face.
Tang Jiu shook his head in his heart and stopped looking at the child of destiny in the original work. While following Alessio on the spaceship returning home, he said to the system in his heart: [Do you know why Yilin in the original work exerted all his strength? , failed to impress Alessio? 】
System: [Because he is not sincere towards the villain? 】
[Yes, that’s not right either,] Tang Jiu chuckled: [The most stupid thing about him is that he actually tried to have a relationship with a powerful high-level Zerg. 】
Tang Jiu doesn’t understand love.
But he knows what the advanced Zerg are.
[We are Zerg, not humans. 】
[Grab it if you like it, plunder it if you want it. We sit in eight major galaxies, but we have never stopped expanding into the universe. Hunting is our instinct, and conquest is our hobby. For those of us who have been at the top of the food chain for thousands of years, unprofitable love is more unnecessary than the garbage in the street bins. 】
With the illusory "love", he exchanged the power that can command most of the empire with a powerful female insect.
This is not called equal exchange, this is called free prostitution.
How deep does Alessio's mind have to be to agree to such a loss-making deal?
The system seems to understand: [So...]
The spaceship landed slowly.
Tang Jiu jumped down with brisk steps and walked forward without looking back. A sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth with his back to Alessio.
[So next, we only talk about interests, not feelings. 】
…
A week later.
Looking at Tang Jiu, who had been eating, drinking, having fun and playing games as usual since returning home, as if nothing had happened, the system fell into deep thought again.
I always feel like I have seen the scene before me somewhere before.
Except for the change of environment and the absence of Alessio to play with, isn't this the same scene as before in the Holy Land?
Daqing Tangjiu is just tired of staying in the holy land and want to change the site to play games?
Thinking of this, the system took another look at Quiet's optical brain bracelet.
In these days, they received many communications from the Imperial Marshal, daily greetings, or date invitations. The difference was that this time, no matter what kind of temptation Alessio offered, Tang Jiu did not give it to him. Not giving any response, even a reply of rejection, is truly turning a blind eye.
This continued for a week, and the military female seemed to understand the unfinished intentions of the male, and the greetings that were supposed to be sent this morning also came to an abrupt end.
The system is depressed.
[Host, is it really okay if we spend three days fishing and two days drying nets? 】
Tang Jiu answered the question: [How many days has it been? 】
The system calculated the date: [Well, including today, there are eight days in total! 】
Has it been a week?
Tang Jiu thought thoughtfully: [That's almost enough. 】He stretched, opened the communication interface neatly, and began to make up random things:
[I communicated with my parents. It is still too early for me to get married at this time. What Xiongfu means is that if we want to get married, we must at least wait until I have safely passed my second awakening and settled in the tower, but we can get engaged first. 】
【What do you think? 】
system:? ? ?
Uh huh huh?
got engaged? What engagement? Who is engaged to whom?
Didn’t they all put the villain aside for a week? Why did it suddenly jump to engagement? Besides, when did the host communicate with the male father? If the host makes a unilateral decision like this, is he really not afraid of something happening later?
The system looked confused and felt that its IQ was completely insufficient.
The military female over there responded immediately after Tang Jiu sent the message: [...Why? 】
Yes, why?
The system also cast curious eyes on its own host, but Tang Jiu was still lazily leaning on the sofa at this moment, with no intention of explaining at all.
He replied: [It is not convenient to communicate through the communication. Let’s meet at the same place tomorrow morning and talk about it! 】
…
The next day.
Valley Star, Imperial Dessert Master Karel’s Private Dessert House.
As the leading dessert master in the empire, Karel's dessert house has always been the most popular dating place for male insects. However, in order to ensure the quality of desserts and services, Karel, the kitchen insect, only entertains three male customers every day, and he must arrive in advance. After making a reservation for a whole month, it can be said that it is hard to find a meal.
But that's for other bugs.
As the sponsor behind Carrel, this little difficulty naturally does not exist for Alessio.
The reason why he originally thought of investing in Karel was because he considered Tang Jiu's greedy mouth. In order to make the male insect happy, Alessio specially found a kitchen insect with a talent for desserts and provided him with the funds and platform to develop desserts. This is how Carle, who is very popular among the male insects today, came into being. Dessert House.
Since it is prepared for Tangjiu, of course there is a private private room that belongs exclusively to Tangjiu.
Other males may have to queue up obediently, but not Tang Jiu - no matter when he comes, he can get the best service and hospitality.
7am.
Alassio was led by the servant to the special box on the top floor.
The side of the private room is surrounded by the sea, and the side of the sofa chair is surrounded by clear floor-to-ceiling windows and the endless blue sea and sky. The sunlight passed through the thick cumulus clouds, pulling out the gorgeous morning glow, but when it finally fell into the eyes of the older military female, only the dark gold that is unique to predators was left.
There is still an hour left before the agreed meeting time.
Alessio sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Even though there were no insects around, the military female was still sitting upright. He placed one hand casually on the table, and the other hand tapped the table irregularly, with his eyelashes slightly lowered on his face. , showing a thoughtful expression.
If Alessio didn't quite understand Tang Jiu's purpose at the beginning, then after settling in all night last night, he had almost understood the male worm's intention.
——Tang Jiu did it on purpose.
First, he pretended to be a simple-minded and vain male insect, and after the incident with Tariq, he was in vain with him, and when he was careless, he turned an army against him.
Then, in a false and ambiguous relationship, he quietly and gradually invaded his private insect territory. When Alessio himself was almost used to the company of young male insects, he took advantage of Yilin's prodding and left without hesitation. , leaving him alone to face the empty Marshal's Mansion, which was filled with the aura of male insects.
Being close to him, staying away from him, but reminding him of him again and again intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally, when Alessio thought the game was over and was still distracted, he unexpectedly proposed an engagement.
Is this because he is in love and is planning to use the guise of engagement to obtain actual benefits from him?
Alessio thought with interest.
For the advanced Zerg race, marriage has never been about personal preference, but a real political bargaining chip. It symbolizes the political alliance, exchange of interests and sharing of resources between the two privileged classes. If the prenuptial agreement between the advanced female insect and the advanced male insect were printed out, the pile would be as high as half an adult insect!
Considering that Alessio Klein is also a political enemy of the Fleming family, this prenuptial agreement may be a hundred times more complicated!
This is only internal.
If you want to consider the situation of the entire empire, the situation is even more complicated: Fleming and Klein, one is the big brother of the imperial conservatives, and the other is the leading insect of the imperial reformists. The two got married, which made the conservatives What do you think of the rest of the reformist bugs?
Why did Fleming marry Klein? Does this mean Fleming changed his political stance?
As the leader of the Reformists, why did Klein take the lead in compromising with the conservative aristocrat Fleming? Is the military commanded by Alessio Klein still worthy of the trust of the reformers?
Thinking of what might happen after he and Tang Jiu got engaged, even a cunning and cunning person like Alessio felt a dull pain in his brain.
Of course he likes Tang wine.
No female insect would dislike such a young, beautiful and interesting male insect, and Alessio was no exception. During the days when he was with Tang Jiu, he also enjoyed it, even when Tang Jiu took the lead to pull away without hesitation. , feeling uncontrollably reluctant to give up.
But that’s about it.
He likes Tangjiu and is willing to do anything to make this lovely male happy, regardless of financial resources or energy, but this does not mean that he will allow his personal feelings to affect the entire military and make him work for half his life. He gave up his power and had a love affair that didn't care about the lives of the billions of military women under his command!
If the other party thinks that with this level of emotion, they can easily manipulate him and control him...
Alessio pressed his aching temple and thought with complicated emotions: If this is really the case, wouldn't Tang Jiu look down on him too much?
He didn't think for long.
It didn't take long for the young male to sit down under the guidance of the attendant.
Alessio's sizing eyes unabashedly fell on the male insect opposite.
Her platinum-blonde hair hangs neatly down the side of her neck, and her diamond-blue eyes are bathed in the light of the morning sun, beautiful and clear. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, the male worm still had a slight smile on his lips, and the whole worm looked full of energy and energy.
It can be seen that Tang Jiu is having a good time these days.
Alessio raised an eyebrow.
...Has this convinced him?
Just when Alessio thought that Tang Jiu would use the unfinished topic last night to pretend to sincerely explain his "why" last night, the male showed him a bright smile that was brighter than the sun. Speaking openly and honestly:
"I heard that your mental riot happened this year and you will die soon?"
Alessio: "...?"
