My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.
Chapter 63 My Best Friend Strikes Back
Before the turmoil caused by Su Tang at the Imperial Military Academy had completely subsided, another whirlwind quietly arrived.
Li Heng, the blond male insect who made a stunning appearance in the final of "Insect Star Grand Stage" with his original song "This Great Man's March" and after taking off his mask, is now standing outside the solemn gate of the military academy.
He wore a finely tailored white suit, his long golden hair shimmering like molten gold in the sunlight, his eyes like the purest lake, and his pale skin almost glowing against the dark school gate.
He came specifically for Su Tang.
"Tangtang!"
Upon seeing Su Tang, who had rushed over after hearing the news, Li Heng's emerald green eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen a savior.
He strode forward, then stopped a few steps away from Su Tang, as if afraid of disturbing something. His voice was soft and filled with admiration, "I'm so glad to see you again!"
Although he was 1.86 meters tall, which was clearly taller than Su Tang, his slightly hunched shoulders and his hands clasped nervously in front of him made him appear shorter.
Li Heng's eyes timidly swept over the burly female guards standing at the door, revealing a hint of fear and unease.
"You are... Li Heng! What brings you here?" Su Tang was also very happy to see Li Heng, and wagged her tail in a friendly manner.
Since their brief encounter on "Chongxing Grand Stage," Li Heng had left a deep impression on him. After all, this was a friend who wrote songs for him, and the two often communicated on the StarNet.
Su Tang knew nothing about interstellar space, let alone things like male insect delicacies. He had many exquisite snacks and treats, all sent by Li Heng.
Even putting all that aside, this is the only male insect he can play with, and more importantly, Li Heng admires him so much!
Seeing the other party's timid and hesitant expression, Su Tang understood. She then wrapped her tail hook around Li Heng's waist and took his arm with her small hand: "Don't be afraid, they are all my little brothers!"
Li Heng lowered his head slightly, his long golden eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and immediately began to flatter him with a mixture of shyness and dependence:
"I...I saw your news about military school on the StarNet. You are so brave! You can actually live and study in a place with so many...so many female insects."
He glanced cautiously at Klein and Lancelot, who stood behind Su Tang like guardian angels, his body trembled almost imperceptibly, and he moved closer to Su Tang.
"I... I live alone outside, and I'm always very scared."
"Tangtang," Li Heng's voice was even lower, tinged with a hint of pitifulness, "Thinking that you're here, I... I mustered up the courage to come. Tangtang, I... I want to go to school too, to be with you, is that okay? With you by my side, maybe I won't be so scared..."
He raised his eyes, his emerald green eyes gazing at Su Tang with a watery look, filled with complete trust and pleading.
Su Tang's vanity swelled to an extreme by this blatant admiration and dependence, and he immediately patted his chest and assured her, "No problem! Leave it to me! You stay here! With me here, let's see which female insect dares to bully you!"
Klein and Lancelot, standing behind Su Tang, exchanged a glance, both seeing the word "trouble" in each other's eyes.
But the male is the head of the household, and his decisions are clearly not something they can question, especially since the other one is also a male.
When the news reached the Xiongbao Association, Chairman Sipnett almost ripped off his beard.
"What did you say?! Lord Li Heng is also going to study at the Imperial Military Academy?! Or is he going to 'accompany' Lord Su Tang?!"
The old chairman felt like he was about to have a heart attack, so he stuffed handfuls of small pills into his mouth.
One Lord Su Tang was already enough to throw the military academy and the Xiongbao Association into chaos, and now there's another one, Lord Li Heng, who is equally precious and seems even more "fragile"? This is practically putting him on the hot seat!
However, due to Su Tang's unreasonable demands and Li Heng's equally formidable behind-the-scenes maneuvering, Xiong Bao Society was defeated once again.
Li Heng was specially admitted to the Imperial Military Academy as a "male insect art talent student". The reason for the special admission was, of course, the same old thing - male insect.
The Imperial Military Academy has welcomed its second male insect.
At His Excellency Li Heng's request, his dormitory was arranged next to Su Tang's. The School of Civil Engineering dispatched 300 temporary students to set it up as quickly as possible, and with Su Tang's consent, access to Su Tang's villa was arranged.
"If you ask me, you can just move in directly, there's no need to go through all this trouble." Although she said that, Su Tang was running around in the connecting corridor with great interest.
To make it easier for the male insects to visit each other's dormitories, a connecting corridor was built on the first floor, and a sky bridge was also erected in the sunroom on the top floor.
Seeing Su Tang running around, Li Heng blushed slightly and said, "Tangtang, there are other female insects in your house. It's not convenient for me to move in."
"Oh right..." Su Tang belatedly realized the question.
Although Li Heng is his subordinate just like the other female insects, they are of different genders in insect society and shouldn't be raised together...
Su Tang racked her brains, trying to figure out if Klein and the others were her younger brothers, then Li Heng... could he be considered her younger sister?
Before his 0.001-core brain processor could even process this, Li Heng grabbed Su Tang's hand and enthusiastically led her towards his villa: "However, Tangtang can stay in my dorm, that way there won't be any issues."
The confused young male was thus tricked away by another male.
Since the male insect's private space cannot be entered at will, Klein and the others could not simply follow him. They could only secretly cover the entire area with their mental power and keep an eye on the male insect's safety at all times.
A hint of satisfaction finally shone in Li Heng's eyes.
On the surface, he always appeared timid and dependent on Su Tang. Even in Su Tang's dormitory, he would stay close to her. Whenever he saw a female insect approaching, he would instinctively grab Su Tang's sleeve and hide behind her, his emerald green eyes filled with terror, as if Su Tang were his only refuge.
This gesture greatly satisfied Su Tang's protective instincts.
However, only Li Heng himself knew that his fear was feigned; he had always felt nothing but disgust and indifference towards the female insects.
Unlike other male insects, Li Heng is not afraid of female insects.
He simply disguised himself as any other ordinary male insect in order to hide his specialness.
Li Heng was well aware of the dangers of being different, and it was precisely because he knew this that he longed for Su Tang, who was so different from everyone else—they were the same kind of beings, and they were meant to be a couple.
He loathed those strong, rude female insects that reeked of him.
He loathed even more the female insects that circled around Su Tang, trying to attract her attention—the red-haired stupid dog, the white-haired hungry dog, the pink-haired mad dog, the orange-haired vicious dog x2… even the black-haired sewer rat dog that always hid in the shadows with a gloomy face and never barked, all of which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Li Heng was hostile towards these female insects.
The small living room of the villa was filled with the sweet aroma of milk tea and cream puffs. Su Tang was sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet, with a screen in front of her playing a video of a play recommended by Li Heng.
The little male insect, his cheeks bulging, mumbled a complaint: "Klein's been so strict lately! He's even rationing MooMoo Beast Cream! It's tyranny!"
"He's so mean, he wouldn't even give Tangtang any snacks. But I'm different, I... I'll give you all my snacks..."
Sitting next to Su Tang, Li Heng nervously clasped his hands together on his knees, his fingertips slightly white, as if just hearing the name Klein filled him with suffocating fear.
Her emerald green eyes, like the finest jade, were crystal clear, yet now they were veiled with a timid, watery sheen, like those of a frightened fawn.
"Tangtang..." Li Heng's voice, like that of an insect, trembled with a deliberate softening, evoking pity. His emerald eyes were fixed intently on Su Tang on the carpet. "You, you are so brave... The Marshal treated you like this, aren't you afraid at all?"
Su Tang swallowed the cake in her mouth, proudly raised her chin, and her amber eyes sparkled: "What am I afraid of? I was just letting him have his way! Here, I'm the boss!"
He completely ignored the deliberately amplified fear in Li Heng's tone and only heard admiration.
Li Heng: "..."
A fleeting hint of disgust for the female insect flashed quickly in the depths of Li Heng's emerald eyes, perfectly concealed.
He leaned forward slightly, as if sharing some thrilling secret, his voice even lower: "But Tangtang, I'm so worried about you... The military academy is full of female insects... What if... what if they..."
At this point, Li Heng paused at just the right moment, leaving the insect with unsettling room for imagination. Then, his emerald eyes instantly filled with tears, like fragile glass. "I'm so afraid you'll be…"
"What are you afraid of! I'm the president of the Red Sugar Guild! They all have to listen to me!" Hearing her underling's questioning, Su Tang immediately stood up, her tail held high. "The entire academy is under my control now. Who dares to disrespect me?"
Li Heng: "..." Didn't you just say that Klein was controlling your sugar intake and not letting you eat snacks?
Li Heng almost lost his composure, unable to maintain the twitching at the corner of his eye. Fortunately, the male insect was a seasoned actor, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, looking at Su Tang with admiration: "Tangtang... you are really amazing."
Although there was a slight element of performance involved, the praise was genuine.
Su Tang is so unique, forever dazzling!
They should be a match made in heaven. Why should these filthy, narrow-minded female insects get close to him? Why should they receive even the slightest bit of his attention?
"Tangtang..." Li Heng said softly, as if he were just chatting, "Don't you think those female insects are really annoying sometimes? They buzz around you like flies..."
Su Tang frowned slightly, picked up a cream puff, and nodded in deep agreement: "Yeah! I can only have one more, otherwise he'll drive me crazy tonight!"
He was referring to someone who had eaten too many snacks and couldn't eat a proper meal at night; Klein would hold a bowl and coax them to eat.
Thinking about it, Su Tang grabbed another cream puff. "They're the same. We're clearly on the same side, but they only listen to him!"
He was referring to the time when he was sick and forbidden from eating any snacks, and the three female insects of the Boiling Food Alliance didn't dare to utter a single word.
Li Heng misunderstood. He raised his head, his blue eyes turning to Su Tang. The timid mist in his eyes seemed to dissipate slightly, revealing a strange undercurrent of calm that was almost empty.
"Tangtang..." He tilted his head slightly, his golden hair cascading over his shoulders, his emerald eyes like the purest lake water, reflecting Su Tang's puffed-up little face. His voice was very soft, with a gentle, persuasive calmness:
"Female insects... are such boring and self-important creatures. They use rules, 'protection,' and so-called 'social structures' to bind us and try to control everything about us."
Li Heng's lips curved upwards in an extremely subtle, cold arc.
His emerald eyes met Su Tang's curious gaze. "So, Tangtang, why are you going to satisfy them?"
"what?"
Su Tang was somewhat confused. What had he done to satisfy the female insect?
But before he could think further, he was drawn to Li Heng's words.
Li Heng's fair fingers seemed to unconsciously trace across Su Tang's hand. "Female insects crave our gaze, crave our male hormones, crave our pity... This desire is their greatest weakness, and also our best weapon."
"What we should do is... give them hope, and then extinguish it with our own hands."
Su Tang's eyes widened!
Su Tang's tail hook straightened excitedly!
Su Tang clapped her hands in admiration!
It turns out that Li Heng was the villainous mentor he had been searching for!
Who would have thought that this seemingly shy and weak male insect could exude such a villainous aura with just a casual remark! No wonder he's his underling!
Su Tang's eyes lit up as she listened, and she stopped eating her cream puff.
He immediately pulled out his notebook and excitedly jotted it down: "Hmm! Let's pinch the straw again! Wow, that's so badass! This is exactly what I wanted!"
Li Heng felt something was off, but seeing how excited Su Tang was, he became excited too—no wonder he had chosen the male insect! Even their thoughts were so similar!
Su Tang picked up her pen seriously: "Teacher Hengheng, how exactly should I extinguish their hopes?"
As Li Heng watched Su Tang diligently taking notes, a cold flame flickered silently in the depths of his emerald eyes, a twisted sense of satisfaction quietly growing within him, along with a strong desire to become a Mushishi (insect master).
Li Heng cleared his throat and slowly suggested, "You can play hard to get with them. Let them not know what you're thinking, and let them suffer back and forth between hope and despair... Isn't the most torturous thing for a worm the unrequited love?"
This shows that he knew how to use the male insect's advantages to manipulate the female insect's emotions.
Su Tang listened with great interest, his eyes filled with a thirst for new knowledge—if only he had met Li Heng sooner, his evil level would have skyrocketed!
"Also, for a particularly 'attentive' female insect, occasionally give her a smile and a seemingly compliment, making her think she is special. Then... when she is at her most proud, completely ignore her, and even... in front of her, show 'interest' in another female insect that is completely inferior to her."
Deep within Li Heng's emerald eyes, a chilling disdain surged like venom, yet his tone remained as calm as if discussing the weather, "Watching them fall from the clouds, their beliefs crumbling, their agonizing struggles... isn't that... amusing?"
He tilted his head slightly, his blond hair gleaming in the sunlight, his emerald eyes like poisoned jade, beautiful yet dangerous: "Let their desires become torment, let their love become a curse of unrequited love. Brother Su Tang, don't you think... this is true 'control'? It's much more interesting than directly beating and scolding them."
Su Tang's eyes lit up: "Wow! Hengheng, you're so savvy! This trick sounds so wicked! I love you so much!"
