My evil self is completely unable to exert its power in the Zerg.

Bibo Star is the location where Su Tang will bestow blessings the next day.

By the time the group of insects arrived at the Papal Palace on Azurewave Star, it was already night.

The night was as dark as ink, staining the temporary residence of the Holy Son, which was constructed from deep-sea coral reefs and moonstone.

The daytime roar of the ocean tides seemed to quiet down, leaving only the monotonous rhythm of distant waves lapping against the shore, which only accentuated the deathly silence inside.

Su Tang threw herself into the soft sofa, sprawling out without any semblance of a saintly figure.

He held up his two paws, facing the soft light of the seashell pearl lamp above his head, looking like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

The aftereffects of the "blessing in broad daylight" finally erupted completely.

My palms, which were originally just slightly red, are now swollen like two freshly baked buns. My palms are burning with pain, and my knuckles are so sore that I can hardly bend them.

"Waaaaah... Daddy, I'm so miserable!" Su Tang cried to the system. "Look at my hands! Look at my hands! I've sacrificed so much for our villainous cause! My long, strong little hands! They've all turned into pig's trotters!"

On the system panel, the number representing the evil value slowly but steadily increased, and the system itself seemed to weep with tears in its eyes.

[Waaaaah... Baby, you're so dedicated, I'm crying my eyes out!]

[Baby, hang in there! Evil power is strength! Think about our future world domination, think about the stars and the sea!]

The system felt a pang of heartache. If it weren't for the fact that it was just a stream of numbers without any physical form, it would probably be jumping up and down in anger right now.

Those damned female followers are truly ungrateful! His Highness the Holy Son personally bestowed a blessing—what an honor! And yet…and they did this to our baby's hand!

[And those clergy members of the Insect God Cult who do absolutely nothing—what kind of people are they? Their skin is thicker than a city wall! They actually dare to shamelessly ask for blessings! Click!]

"Yes! Press the down key!"

Su Tang found common ground and immediately felt a shared sense of indignation. Her large amber eyes welled up with tears due to grievance and pain, and the corners of her eyes turned red.

"And that Michael! He had a dark face the whole time, like someone owed him millions! He was definitely laughing at me in his heart! Laughing at me for overestimating myself! Waaah... Baojuan, my hand hurts so much... I feel like I won't be able to bless the believers tomorrow!"

He became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and tears involuntarily rolled down his cheeks.

Half of it was pain, and the other half was the frustration of thinking about how I had "endured humiliation" for the sake of evil points, only to be laughed at by that evil judge.

Crystalline tears slid down her fair cheeks, landing on her swollen, red hands, bringing a slight chill but making her look even more disheveled.

[My lord! My lord has suffered! It is this old servant's fault!]

The newly formed system couldn't stand this at all and wished it could take its place.

[Waaah... Baby, my baby, why are you suffering so much... Phew...]

But before it could finish speaking, the system abruptly stopped, as if it had crashed.

"Domination?"

"hiss--"

Su Tang was so startled that she forgot to shed tears. She hurriedly tried to wipe the tear stains on her face with the back of her hand, but when she touched her swollen fingers, the excruciating pain made her gasp, and the tears flowed even more fiercely.

A knock came at the door.

Tap, tap, tap.

Three times.

Unhurried and unhurried, it was a rigid, unyielding coldness.

Just like the Meow Meow Beast that can tell whose footsteps are coming home, Su Tang could imagine from the sound of knocking that the insect coming was obviously that hateful Michael!

Oh no, speak of the devil! He really came! Did he come to laugh at me?!

The thought flashed through Su Tang's mind instantly.

He frantically tried to shrink himself deeper into the sofa, pretending he wasn't there, but his swollen hands and tear stains on his face had nowhere to hide.

Michael outside the door seemed to have little patience. After waiting a few seconds and seeing no response, he turned the doorknob directly. For the entire Insect God Church's Inquisitor, the locks on the rooms in the palace were practically useless, especially since Su Tang hadn't locked them at all.

Michael's tall figure appeared at the doorway, his silver-gray knight's uniform appearing even more cold and hard in the dim light.

He was backlit by the corridor light, so his expression was obscured, but the low pressure emanating from him was like a tangible cold current, enough to instantly lower the room temperature.

The judge's sharp, hawk-like gaze immediately locked onto Su Tang, who was curled up on the sofa, her eyes red and her face still streaked with tears.

And, Su Tang's hands, swollen and painfully red, were pitifully raised in front of her chest.

Perhaps because of his injured hands, the male insect did not change out of the holy child robes he wore during the day. He only removed his cloak and those heavy jewelry, and his milky white snow-white, or rather, his pure white shoulders casually bumped into the female insect's eyes.

Michael's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, and the violent energy that had been forcibly suppressed during the day began to surge within him once more.

This little male insect... how did it get itself into this state!

Didn't they cause quite a commotion at the altar during the day?

Now you know how to cry?

The judge strode in, his boots making a dull thud on the floor, each step feeling like a blow to Su Tang's taut nerves.

He stood before Su Tang, looking down at her, his shadow completely enveloping the small, curled-up male insect.

"hand."

Michael spoke in the same harsh voice as always, like a block of ice carved from frozen ground, devoid of any warmth or emotion, as if a high-ranking officer were giving orders to his soldiers.

Su Tang was enraged by his cold and hard attitude and his direct question.

Sure enough! He came here to show off! To see how pathetic he was!

The young male insect suddenly raised its head, its swollen, red eyes glaring at Michael. Tears welled in its eyes from anger and grievance, and its voice was trembling with sobs and accusation:

"What are you looking at?! What happened to my hand? It's just swollen! Don't pretend! Are you feeling smug, Judge? Are you satisfied now that you see me like this?!"

Su Tang turned her head away: "Hmph, I will not yield. Tomorrow's blessing will be even better for this holy son!"

Michael: "..."

He looked into Su Tang's amber eyes, which were even clearer and brighter after being washed by tears. Now, they were glistening with anger and pain, the corners of her eyes red, revealing a vulnerability and an unconsciously alluring charm...

The tears that rolled down her cheeks, the slightly parted lips glistening with moisture from excitement...

A surge of intense heat rushed to the top of his head—that was Michael's rage!

This dissolute male was trying to seduce him again!

During the day, she attracts countless insects, and at night she cries her heart out in front of him!

Does he even realize how dangerous this appearance is to female insects, especially for a male?!

Especially since... he was also his nominal "fiancé"!

"Shameless!"

Michael spat out four words through clenched teeth, his voice icy and chilling, filled with barely suppressed anger and agitation stirred up by some inexplicable emotion.

He hurriedly put down the treatment spray, turned around abruptly, and strode towards the door, as if staying even a second longer would cause him to be hooked by that invisible hook and do something irreversible.

In the emergency, the presiding judge, fleeing for his life, didn't even have time to explain his purpose in delivering the ointment.

Su Tang was completely bewildered by his sudden performance art.

What is that?!

"Who did he say was shameless?"

"Dad, System! He... he insulted me?!"

[Pfft...] The system, furious at reconnecting, sent its data stream flying everywhere, even gibberishing part of its conversation with Su Tang. [Pah! That...&#￥...% bastard! He's the shameless one!]

Don't think the system didn't detect that he defeated the opponent!

[The presiding judge actually walked out despite being defeated!]

[Click down!]

"What? Defeat what?" Su Tang didn't understand the garbled system's chatter and was momentarily confused. "Tell me, what did he come to me for? Just to mock me?"

"Baby, ignore him. This female insect is just a sword dealer."

By the way, that medicine he just left behind... it's best not to use it either...

"What's this? Is it medicine? This guy came to mock me and brought medicine? He's being so kind? I get it, he's trying to make sure I don't embarrass the church when I give the blessing tomorrow, right?" Before the system could finish speaking, Su Tang picked up the bottle and clumsily sprayed some on herself. "Hmph, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. The enemy insect's gift isn't necessarily useless."

system:【……】

No, baby, you really can't use it!

But the system's warning came too late; Su Tang cried out.

"Ah!!! What is this!!!"

That's a bone-regenerating spray for female insects, that's why I told you not to use it. My poor baby...

The medicine is excellent, priceless, and a miracle drug that can save lives instantly on the battlefield.

But the esteemed judge clearly had no experience interacting with male insects; he had no idea how vulnerable his fiancé, a delicate male insect, was.

As we all know, wound healing involves promoting cell regeneration and repairing existing injuries. Female insects can do this on their own; it's just a matter of time.

The wonder of this "miracle drug" lies in its ability to accelerate cell regeneration without consuming its own energy, instantly boosting the regeneration speed of female insects, which is why it is called a miracle drug.

And it also shares a common characteristic with all miraculous medicines—it's potent.

What is negligible pain for the female insect can make the delicate male insect wish he were dead.

"Waaah, I knew he wasn't that kind! Michael, that bastard!"

Feeling wronged, angry, and in pain... all sorts of emotions intertwined, causing Su Tang's tears to overflow, and she cried even harder.

He cried as he awkwardly wiped away his tears with his swollen and painful hands, but as soon as his fingers touched his eyelids, an even more intense stinging pain came—oh no, he had just sprayed that damn medicine!

It's clear that when the little male insect wiped away its tears, it accidentally got the medicine into its eyes!

"Ouch—! It hurts! My eyes! My eyes!"

Su Tang screamed as a burning sensation spread from her eyes, tears streaming down her face, but they did nothing to alleviate the intense pain.

He covered his eyes tightly with the back of his hand, curled up into a ball, trembling from the pain, and could see nothing at all.

My hands hurt so much, and my eyes hurt so much too!

"Waaaaah..."

"Water...where is the water? Help..."

Don't move, baby! There's something in front of you...

Su Tang groped to stand up and find water to wash herself, but because she couldn't see, she bumped into the coffee table next to her, and her knees throbbed with pain. She fell awkwardly onto the carpet.

system:【……】

[Waaaaah, my poor baby... Pee...]

"Domination?"

The swelling and pain in my palms, the burning pain in my eyes, the bruising in my knees... all the grievances and pain reached their peak at this moment.

Just as Su Tang was in so much pain that her vision blurred and she couldn't get a response when she called out, and was almost in despair, there was another gentle knock on the door.

Knock knock knock.

This time the sound was very soft, with a cautious, rhythmic quality.

"Sister-in-law, open the door, it's me, your elder brother..."

They've sent someone to deliver your medicine.

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the chirping of the little male insect.

"Michael, you bastard! You actually dared to come back! Wait, don't go..."

Su Tang didn't hear him at all, or rather, he didn't care who it was at that moment. He was in excruciating pain all over, and with a heavy sob in his voice, he cried out desperately, "Come...come in! Quick! Help me! My eyes...it hurts so much!"

A figure walked in silently, so tall, yet with the lightness of a feline.

The face covered with a white silk cloth turned precisely to Su Tang, who was curled up on the ground, whimpering in pain, and the footsteps visibly paused.

"Your Mightiness?"

Glahaid quickly walked to Su Tang's side and knelt down on one knee.

"Michael, quick, the eyes...be treated..."

Su Tang was in so much pain that she could barely speak. She only vaguely sensed an insect approaching and subconsciously thought it was the evil spirit that had returned. Although she hated him, she could only cry for help at this moment.

Upon hearing the name "Michael," Glahad seemed to furrow his brow slightly beneath the white silk.

When you were most helpless, you, sir, still longed for the company of your brother Michael.

He tried to ignore the vague unease in his heart, and quickly scanned the room with his mental energy, immediately understanding the situation.

They actually used a female insect's medicine on the male insect!

Which ignorant little servant is this!

Don't they know that male insects are extremely vulnerable, and even minor injuries must be treated with utmost care?

"Sir, please bear with me for a moment."

Glahad deftly retrieved a small treatment device and a sterile rinsing solution from a small silver medical case he carried with him.

This is a medical device specifically for male insects that he bought with his own savings when he became Su Tang's guardian.

The tall female insect carefully lifted Su Tang up with one hand, letting him lean against her arm, her movements gentle yet irresistible.

"You may feel a little uncomfortable, please relax."

Grahide spoke softly as he gently poured the rinse solution onto Su Tang's tightly closed eyes.

The cool liquid gently washed over her eyes, removing the irritating residue of the medicine. The intense burning pain immediately lessened by more than half, and Su Tang's tense body relaxed slightly, letting out a sob like a kitten.

Grahide patted the little male cat's back affectionately and patiently rinsed it for a full minute until he was sure the medicine had been thoroughly washed away.

He took out a clean, absorbent cotton towel and gently wiped away the water stains and tear stains around Su Tang's eyes, as if he were wiping away a fragile treasure.

Yes, a treasure...

It is not only the entire Origin Cult, but also his treasure.

Looking at Su Tang's current vulnerable state, Grahide even felt a little regretful for bringing him back to the church.
