The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 241: Insect Race Secrets

Su Ruan stared blankly at the Aiers in front of her.

Just as Aiers had said, she had forgotten her name.

She only remembered that there was such a person, but when she tried to search her memory for the name, she couldn’t recall it at all.

Even hearing her own name, she still felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Yet she knew that the Aiers before her was the girl she met in the Otherworld—in the Spiritual Domain of the Insect Race, to be precise—who later became her companion.

She just couldn’t quite believe it.

In her impression, the Insect Race had always been an extremely abhorrent existence.

They were greedy and warlike, leaving destruction in their wake.

Countless planets became wastelands due to the Insect Race’s invasion, and countless families were destroyed because of them.

The Insect Race and humanity seemed to be natural born enemies.

Su Ruan found it hard to accept that the partner she fought alongside in the Otherworld was actually a member of the Insect Race, and a High-level Insect Race at that.

Su Ruan’s face was a bit pale, with too many complex emotions rising in her heart, leaving her at a loss for words.

Aiers kept her head down, quietly waiting.

She had plenty of patience to wait for her to speak, since after all, she had already found her, and they had plenty of time to chat.

As time passed slowly, Su Ruan finally spoke: "This is all a bit overwhelming for me."

Aiers looked up at Su Ruan and saw her pale complexion, a touch of distress in her eyes.

"It’s my fault."

She shouldn’t have told her so much information all at once.

Especially now that she was married to a human.

Aiers was very clear that humans never quite liked the Insect Race.

More accurately, none of the races in the interstellar world liked the Insect Race.

But the Insect Race never cared about that. Anyway, they were strong, and if you didn’t like them? Oh well, so be it.

No insect cared about the opinions of other races.

But she was different.

The Spiritual Domain had always been a chaotic, sinful place.

The Insect Race was born from sin; they were sin itself, and survival was the instinct of all creatures, including them, who instinctively sought survival in the Spiritual Domain.

Insects killing and eating each other was utterly normal.

Each new generation of the Insect Race entering the Spiritual Domain would first face the devouring and destruction by their own kind.

It was a thoroughly sinful and savage world, devoid of morality, let alone laws.

Brutal survival was the only rule, nothing more.

Until she came along.

On that sinful land, a truly compassionate god finally arrived.

Aiers lowered her eyes, growing increasingly guilty.

"If you don’t want to see me, I will just..."

Before she could finish, she heard Su Ruan say, "No."

"I just can’t quite accept it."

Su Ruan looked directly at Aiers, "The Insect Race and humans have always been in a state of opposition."

She had not expected that the Otherworld she traveled to was the Spiritual Domain of the Insect Race, nor that her rebirth was due to the King of the Insects.

She just found it difficult to accept for now, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t accept Aiers as a High-level Insect Race.

Hearing Su Ruan say this, Aiers nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it’s an antagonistic state."

"But now, we have never harmed humans."

Fighting with humans doesn’t count as harm, right? At least she didn’t kill them.

Aiers felt a bit guilty thinking this, and then said, "Ten years ago, the one who launched a war between the Insect Race and humans was the former Insect Queen, and it was the old Insect Race who participated in that war. Our new generation has never harmed humans."

Aiers said this while patting her own stomach.

"We’ve been living frugally, and even when there’s nothing to eat, we haven’t invaded human planets."

Strictly speaking, the Insect Race is now divided into two factions.

One faction is led by the King Worm, with the four High-level Insect Races as generals, part of the new generation born after Su Ruan entered the Spiritual Domain. The other faction consists of the previously born Insect Race.

Most of those are low-level Insect Clans, lacking intelligence, though possessing tremendous combat power, their fatal weakness is submitting to those of higher levels.

Now most of these low-level Insect Clans perished in the war ten years ago, and Aiers actually doesn’t know where the remaining few are.

After all, the Insect Domain is vast, and she herself is a homebound insect, naturally incapable of recognizing every insect.

Hearing Aiers say this, countless thoughts ran through Su Ruan’s mind, but ultimately she only had one response.

"I see."

She looked down at Aiers, "Did you come to the Human World for something important?"

Aiers nodded emphatically, "I came to bring you a gift!"

She pointed to the large package placed to the side.

"Besides bringing the gift?" Su Ruan asked curiously.

Aiers suddenly fell into thought.

Besides bringing the gift, what else was it?

Now that she thought about it, what did the King ask her to do?

"Hmm..." Aiers hesitated for a moment, "The King seemed to ask me to see how you were doing."

This wasn’t the first time Su Ruan heard of the "King" from Aiers, and she was filled with curiosity about this King.

According to human understanding, the Insect Race revered the Insect Queen, but after the Insect Queen died ten years ago, it seemed a new Queen hadn’t been born among the Insect Race. So, was this King the new ruler?

"Is it the Insect Queen?" Su Ruan asked curiously.

Aiers shook her head, "No, it’s the King."

"The previous Insect Queen is already dead."

Hearing this, Su Ruan was also curious about how the Insect Queen was born, so she further inquired, "How is an Insect Queen born?"

"Insect Crystal." Aiers didn’t conceal anything from Su Ruan, directly explaining, "The Insect Queen can actually live for a very long time, indefinitely under normal circumstances."

"But the Insect Crystal, the core of the Queen’s power, demands she constantly consume energy, which is why she endlessly devours planets. Once there are no planets to devour, and the supply stops, the Queen will starve to death."

"After starving to death, the Queen’s body will become ash in a short time, leaving only an Insect Crystal behind."

"This Insect Crystal will nurture a new Insect Queen."

"In fact, the previous Insect Queen lived for over a thousand years. Though she had wars with humans before, they never killed her. It was just ten years ago, a human called Lu Shinian killed her."

"And the Insect Crystal went missing."

Su Ruan suddenly understood. So, the Insect Queen was naturally birthed by an Insect Crystal.

The Insect Race truly is a mysterious species.

"Have you been looking for the Queen’s Insect Crystal?" she asked again.

Aiers shook her head, "No."

"If a new Queen is born among the Insect Race, we would feel it."
