Chapter 180 is going to kill me...
Ling Yi didn't want to lose Qi Min, didn't want to break off their relationship, and didn't want to lock Qi Min up, so they could only maintain a strained relationship from now on.
He wanted to be good to Qi Min, just like before, warm and sweet, tolerant and intimate.
"Okay, go ahead and say it. I'm listening. Don't worry, that way they won't hear you."
Qi Min gave the people around him a warning look to move away, and then threw out a card before looking at Ling Yi with a slightly more serious expression.
Ling Yi stared at Qi Min in silence for a few seconds, pondered for a moment, and then slowly began to speak.
"I apologize for including you in the process of advancing my plan; I didn't trust you when we were first assigned to this task."
Or rather, I don't trust any male insect, not just you, but all of them..."
Ling Yi looked at Qi Min's profile and began to slowly recount all his thoughts and plans before this, as well as the original intentions behind his actions, including his so-called plan.
Qi Min listened quietly without interrupting. What Ling Yi said was actually quite similar to what he had guessed before.
The rules and regulations of the Zerg are harsh, even for the historical era of Qi Min's world.
Clear hierarchy, orderly distinction between superiors and inferiors...
Under this system where all resources are preferentially allocated to male insects, almost all of them are given preferential treatment.
It's rare to find someone who still has the will to resist.
Domestication under the influence of the environment is not something that can be taken lightly.
It's like a herd of elephants being treated with near-brutal methods by their mahouts when they are still young.
They were tied to a stake called 'rules', which restricted their movement.
Then, the elephant trainers began the process of domesticating them.
For example, give them a small amount of 'food' to keep them in a semi-starved state.
Then, during 'feeding,' use specific words and objects to guide the child to perform simple actions, such as standing, squatting, or obeying commands...
If a young elephant refuses to comply with instructions, it will be whipped and scolded by its trainer, or even subjected to more severe punishment.
Over time, new baby elephants will gradually become accustomed to obeying the commands of their trainers.
He will no longer have any thoughts or actions of resistance...
Gradually, they learn more things that will satisfy their elephant trainers.
For example, obedience, humility, and self-denial...
The young elephants dared not resist, or even entertain the thought of resisting.
Because of the fear of being beaten, the fear of being unable to break free...
That wooden stake called 'Rules'...
Ultimately, they transformed from free little elephants into obedient elephants that could only do what their trainers demanded, fulfilling their wishes to the trainers.
Perhaps in the eyes of one of the baby elephants, a fleeting longing for freedom might occasionally flash.
But they have been domesticated to the point that they cannot easily break free from this bound fate.
They could only continue to perform on the stage set up by the elephant trainers, doing what pleased them.
However, among the elephant herd, there will always be a few who are unwilling to be bound by fate.
Take Ling Yi, for example. He was unwilling to accept the suppression of rules, the injustice of the system, and the harsh requirements placed on a certain gender, which gave rise to his rebellious mentality.
Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.
No matter how thorny the path, nothing could stop him from pursuing freedom.
Even if we ultimately fail, we are prepared to fight to the death.
"So, aren't you afraid that telling me all this will affect your future plans?"
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi and spoke softly, his tone calm, as if Ling Yi's unconventional thoughts and words had not aroused any of his emotions.
Hearing Qi Min's calm tone and unexpected question, Ling Yi couldn't help but raise his eyes, which had been lowered, and stare intently at the male insect in front of him.
Ling Yi found Qi Min's unexpected words both surprising and normal.
During the time that Ling Yi spent with Qi Min, he discovered that many of Qi Min's thoughts were different from any other male insect he had ever met.
Ling Yi had never seen anything like it before, whether it was the reaction to the system or the way and perspectives used to handle things.
Ling Yi had previously investigated Qi Min's origins, wanting to know what kind of place such a special high-level male insect grew in, so that it could give him such a comfortable feeling.
And the result, of course, was nothing.
But this unexpected dungeon world allowed Ling Yi, who had already given up exploring it, to inexplicably see a corner he wanted to know.
What was Qi Min's previous planet like...?
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid either."
Ling Yi was lost in thought for a moment, but he answered Qi Min's question aloud.
"Huh? What do you say?"
Ling Yi's unusual answer piqued Qi Min's interest, causing him to raise an eyebrow and lean closer, wanting to understand its true meaning.
"My lord, do you still remember the underground room where I was locked up? Actually, that room was built for you, so that later I could lock you up inside and make you the only lord who belongs to me..."
Ling Yi looked calmly into Qi Min's slightly dazed eyes, making no attempt to hide her unique possessiveness towards him.
This idea had been lingering in his mind for some time, but the time wasn't right yet, so Ling Yi hadn't considered putting it into practice.
But now, Qi Min's unintentional discovery has become a catalyst for their relationship.
Ling Yi felt a pang of anxiety whenever she thought about how Qi Min had spoken about the application.
When I finally saw the consent form for terminating the relationship...
My mind went completely blank, as if I had lost all ability to think for that instant.
Ling Yi felt a chill run through his body and felt extremely uncomfortable, a feeling he had never experienced even when he was in danger on the battlefield.
'Exclusively mine...'
'I didn't realize Ling Yi had such...'
This side of me is so captivating!
This is really...
This is terrible...
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi, who was staring intently at him, and felt as if the blood in his body was about to boil. He couldn't help but swallow and try to relieve the dryness in his throat.
Qi Min tilted his head and closed his eyes slightly, licking his upper canines with the tip of his tongue to relieve the itch there. He dared not look at Ling Yi anymore, afraid that he would not be able to resist pouncing on him.
He silently told himself that he must be patient, as this was not a good time or place.
Just as Qi Min was desperately trying to endure, Ling Yi, who had been watching him, misunderstood Qi Min's action of turning his head and closing his eyes.
Thinking it was his own words, which were too terrifying and bizarre, Qi Min found it hard to accept.
Ling Yi lowered his eyes in disappointment, but his resolve to lock Qi Min up alone only strengthened.
When Ling Yi was inexplicably brought here by the dungeon, his biggest thought was to find Qi Min.
In any case, she had to explain that she had already given up that absurd idea in order to get Qi Min another chance.
When Ling Yi finally met Qi Min and had the opportunity to explain, he had already figured things out and made up his mind to tell the whole story without deceiving or hiding anything anymore.
Even if Qi Min is unwilling to forgive in the end, Ling Yi doesn't want to deceive him anymore; he can always find another way.
But no matter what, Ling Yi never thought of accepting the ending of separating from Qi Min.
This male insect is his; he has already taken it to heart.
From a young age, Ling Yi understood one thing: once something was in his hands, it could only be his.
Whether imprisoned or bound, he cannot accept losing...
