Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 677: This Insect God Seems to be Devoid of Emotions

Chapter 677: Chapter 677: This Insect God Seems to be Devoid of Emotions

Xi Le was also kneeling and listening, his brows slightly furrowed.

However, this was a one-way connection to the brain by the Insect God, and his decision was always an oracle.

Since he had said so, there must be a reason for it!

Xi Le lowered his eyes halfway, no longer doubting, his face all submission.

The voice of Bai Li finally echoed in the minds of all the Insectoids within the clan.

"Those who wish to leave, just say the words now. If you are willing to forsake our clan, then I will grant your wish immediately. This is your only, and only, chance."

The majority of the Insectoids, no matter where they were, remained silent.

Although, after arriving in this universe, what they had initially thought of — mainly plundering and proliferating — was far from reality.

They had their doubts at the beginning too.

But most chose to obey the commands of the Insect God.

In the following decades, their lives progressively improved. No need for relentless wars, they could research fields of interest, and those Insectoids with strong combat abilities did not have to worry about declining, because defending their planet, protecting their homes, and venturing to various planets in search of energy were all tasks they needed to undertake.

No need for aimless slaughter anymore.

Most importantly, after making contact with the people of Landis Star, they acquired a wealth of knowledge and culture, not just in the domain of technology, but also in many humanities disciplines.

The exchange program sending students to Empire University was one such successful initiative.

However, there was still a small fraction of the population whose inner desires prevented them from wanting such a mundane life.

"I apologize, Lord Insect God, but I still desire a life of conquering the universe," the leader of the traitors was the first to speak out.

Then, the remaining few traitors spoke out one after another.

They had no way back, for having betrayed Lord Insect God, they no longer had a chance to return to his care.

Subsequently, a few scattered voices arose in various places.

Bai Li waited patiently for a long time, until no more voices were heard, then quietly said, "As you wish."

"Ah!"

The leader of the traitors suddenly felt an intense pain in his brain, his body curling into the shape of a shrimp. Next moment, he was horrified to find his muscles atrophying.

Shortly after, the other few traitors experienced the same.

And so did those Insectoids who had just spoken of leaving, now in agonizing pain.

They felt their spiritual power slowly being drained, and their limbs, which had taken on human form, gradually morphing into various Insect Clan appendages.

It was only then that these individuals frantically realized that Lord Insect God was taking back the powers granted by the Insect Nest!

Spiritual power, a strong body, and for some, even superpowers... but all of these were gifts from the Insect Nest.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the Insect God could reclaim them.

"No! Lord Insect God, we were wrong, please forgive us! We will never betray you again!"

"I don’t want to leave anymore, I’ll never leave, please give me back my spiritual power!"

If their spiritual power and superpowers, along with their strong bodies, were taken away, they would become useless, and certainly, Freya would not want such useless beings.

It would be absolutely impossible for them to survive on a Barren Star!

Ji Mu, still connected through the brain, snorted coldly. These fools, did they really think they could betray Lord Insect God and get away with it?

A traitor is a traitor.

If they could betray once, they would betray a second time, just as cheating has a tendency to become habitual!

Through the glass window, Su Wan finally saw the Insect God lower his hand, his eyes opening, and those few traitors were in immense pain, their entire beings shrunk, but they were still alive.

The Insect God did not kill these traitors?

Su Wan turned her head to look at Gu Jue, "Is he that merciful?"

Gu Jue shook his head, "Not necessarily so."

He didn’t care how the Insect God dealt with these few traitors; what he was more concerned about was what method the Insect God had used?

Gu Jue had an intuition, always feeling as if the Insect God’s method was a very powerful superpower, both formidable and dangerous.

A few minutes later, Bai Li walked out of the interrogation room, opened the door, and looked up, quietly saying, "I’m done here."

Su Wan: "Those people..."

Bai Li: "Please exile them from Landis Star. They are no longer my people from now on. If they make another mistake and you come across them, feel free to deal with them as you see fit."

Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, "You don’t seem like a very merciful person."

Even though the opponents hadn’t caused any trouble for their alliance or the Insect God this time, a traitor was still a traitor.

Traitors of Landis Star would be judged based on the severity of their actions.

Those with minor offenses would be imprisoned in the Interstellar Prison.

Those with serious crimes, particularly heinous ones, might be sentenced to death directly.

And so, the Insect God just let these traitors go?

Bai Li raised his head, his tone calm, "I’ve taken back their most important thing, and their punishment is to wander the entire Universe."

Freya wouldn’t want these discarded pieces anymore.

And the discarded pieces would never be able to return to their clan.

They could only wander through the Universe until they died in misery.

While Gu Jue was talking to the Insect God, Su Wan observed him the entire time. How to put it—she felt this person was different from Ajue’s coldness.

Ajue is such by nature.

But this Insect God, it’s as if he has no emotions at all.

At the very least, he didn’t seem to have any love!

This ’son-in-law’ candidate’s score continued to plummet!

However, now that the traitors’ issue had been resolved, Gu Jue was actually quite concerned that his wife was paying so much attention to this Insect God and said directly, "The traitors’ matter has been settled. Are you leaving now?"

The order to leave was clear and explicit.

Bai Li’s expression was unchanged, his tone calm, "No, I would like to stay on Landis Star for a while longer."

His tone took it for granted, leaving no room for discussion with the host—a demeanor that said he intended to be a guest at their house.

Gu Jue: "..."

However, considering the alliance between both parties, it’s no big issue if the Insect God wants to stay on Landis Star for a while.

The fact that such a leader trusts them is actually a good thing for both sides.

Yet... for some reason, Gu Jue felt an indescribable sense of dissatisfaction.

What the reason was, he couldn’t articulate!

In the end, Gu Jue pursed his lips, "Very well, I’ll have Eric escort you to the Imperial Palace."

The outermost buildings of the Imperial Palace have exclusive rooms for entertaining foreign envoys. Naturally, arranging for the Insect God to stay there was reasonable since it is the highest standard of hospitality on Landis Star.

However, upon hearing this, Bai Li slowly shook his head.

He raised his head, his deep eyes looking at the couple in front of him, and said softly, "I would like to stay at Commander Gu’s residence."

Gu Jue: "..."

Su Wan: "..."
