Lu Mo stared stiffly at the zerg emperor, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
One of Lu Mo’s survival rules: When you realize things are gradually going awry, play dumb, just play dumb.
As long as your attitude is firm enough, as long as you persist in denying everything, the other party will be influenced by you and doubt their own understanding.
That’s the power of language.
Lu Mo politely said, “Thank me for everything I have done for the zerg race? I think you may have misunderstood something.”
“From birth until now, I have never considered others’ feelings. Everything I’ve done is only for my own gain. If anyone dares to obstruct me…” Lu Mo narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous, “I will make them understand what regret truly means.”
“If heaven has eyes, if the zerg god is not asleep, if there is such a thing as karma in this world, then my actions are enough to send me down to hell, to sink to the lowest depths, never to rise again. Unfortunately—”
Lu Mo revealed a dignified smile, his tone light and cheerful, but his words were so vile, completely resembling the appearance of a despicable and hypocritical person, making people itch to punch him directly.
“Unfortunately,” Lu Mo elegantly extended his hand, pulled at his sleeve, and calmly said, “Life is just so unfair. A male zerg like me has become an S-level male zerg.”
The hand pulling at the sleeve trembled slightly.
Lu Mo maintained a noble and glamorous smile, but inside, his heart was already in turmoil.
—Fuck!
Who else could act like him?! Who else?! He was invincible!
Hahaha!
The system was also exclaiming, [Lu Mo, I must give you ten little golden awards! You deserve it!]
He confidently looked at the zerg emperor, waiting for the arrival of his Scum value.
However, to his astonishment, the zerg emperor let out a sigh and said, “You’re always like this, which leads everyone to misunderstand you.”
Lu Mo: “…”
What do you mean by that expression of “I’ve seen through you a long time ago”?
Before Lu Mo could figure it out, the zerg emperor turned around and faced the audience, proclaiming loudly, “Everyone, perhaps before this, many of you were dissatisfied with Lu Mo.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but with the assistance of his spiritual power, it clearly reached the ears of every audience member.
“You thought he deviated from the right path, lacked morals. If I’m not mistaken, even now, many people still hold grievances, right?”
“Why is it Lu Mo specifically? Why did he become an S-level male zerg? If it were Song Jianshu, that would be even better, right?”
This series of questions struck a chord with many viewers, causing them to lower their heads in shame.
The zerg emperor chuckled lightly, and amidst Lu Mo’s increasingly stiff expression, he slowly said, “But I have to say, all of you have misunderstood him. Everything he has done is more deserving of his S-level status than any other male zerg.”
Once these words were spoken, everyone was astonished, and there was a low murmuring among the audience.
“What’s going on? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“What? I thought those things said on the forum were all made up. They seemed too fake… Could it be true?”
“What forum? Why don’t I know about it?”
“Oh, it’s…”
While everyone was wavering, no one noticed the strange expression on Ling’s face as he stood beside Lu Mo.
He coldly stared at the zerg emperor, his pigeon-blood ruby-like eyes seemingly covered in a layer of frost. This gaze didn’t resemble the look of someone beholding the esteemed zerg emperor, but rather like someone looking at something that made them nauseous.
His disgust was evident, as if he had no fear of being discovered by the zerg emperor.
If there was someone in this world who could, with just a few words, change the entire course of the situation, it would undoubtedly be the zerg emperor.
He seemed to possess some sort of magic that could easily manipulate others’ thoughts. Even the most resolute zergs would waver for him, and even the most cold-hearted zergs would be moved by him.
Ling felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair. He was confident that he could kill the zerg emperor, but he didn’t know how Lu Mo would react.
He anxiously bit his lip, feeling an uncontrollable urge about to burst forth.
Before the zerg emperor could influence Lu Mo, he might as well kill the zerg emperor first. As long as he killed him, everything would return to calm.
Yes.

Ling: “…”
The black-haired, green-eyed male zerg gazed at the zerg emperor expressionlessly. Although he still appeared noble and glamorous, Ling seemed to see a big “bereavement” character hovering over Lu Mo’s head.
Hmm…
Just like this:
Lu Mo: =-=
Ling couldn’t help but laugh, even though he knew it was highly inappropriate and that Lu Mo was in considerable pain. However, in that instant, he detached himself from the almost frantic emotions and regained his former calmness.
Lu Mo heard his laughter and turned his head gently, his voice calm and unruffled, “My dear female monarch, I’m not in the best mood right now, so I hope you could be a bit more mindful.”
His voice became gritted, “Stop laughing.”
Ling tried hard to suppress his smile, “Yes, my lord.”
Lu Mo turned his head sulkily, using the back of his head to express his dissatisfaction.
Although it seemed lengthy, in reality, only a dozen seconds had passed.
As expected, the zerg emperor saw that everyone’s reactions were just as he had anticipated. Finally, in the midst of everyone’s eager anticipation, he spoke, “How did you all come to know about Lu Mo? Was it through those videos? Or through hearsay? Perhaps just baseless rumors?”
“None of you have truly come into contact with Lu Mo, have you?”
“So, in fact, you don’t know that after inheriting his father’s fortune, the first thing Lu Mo did was to renovate the port on the desolate star.”
“You also wouldn’t know how many female zergs on the brink of mental collapse he saved using his spiritual power when he was still a D-level male zerg.”
“And you wouldn’t know how many once proud female zergs, fallen into the dust, he rescued.”
The zerg emperor opened his arms and said, “My children, I deeply love each and every one of you, whether you’re male zergs, female zergs, or androgynous zergs. You are all my precious children. I sincerely bless you, may the zerg god grant you bright eyes so that you won’t be deceived by appearances.”
“In the future, you will encounter many more things. Whenever you feel confused, remember everything that happened today.”
The zerg emperor’s voice was filled with compassion, “You don’t need to force yourself to accept Lu Mo because of his status. Because—”
“He is an excellent male zerg.”
Accompanied by the gradually rising sobbing in the arena, even the wind became tender, and the touch of emotion flowed like a meandering stream in everyone’s hearts…
Of course, there were also incessant notifications ringing in Lu Mo’s mind.
[Ding! Completely whitewashed, deducting 100,000 Scumbag Points!]
[Ding! Indestructible white lotus persona, deducting 50,000 Scumbag Points!]
[Ding! Gained tens of thousands of confessions, deducting 80,000 Scumbag Points!]
…
The rate at which the Scumbag Points dropped was like the stocks in a major bear market, crashing instantly.
And Lu Mo’s face turned as green as the stock market, oilily green.
His heart ached so much that he couldn’t breathe.
How could there be such a wicked person?! Wasn’t he going through enough?! Couldn’t he just continue being a scumbag in peace?!
I know you’re a good person, but you’re really too wicked!
System: […Do you want to hear what you’re saying? You seem to have a serious illness.]
Lu Mo: [I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen!]
At this moment, the zerg emperor was completely unaware of this and was even quite satisfied.
Everything went exactly as he had expected. Lu Mo had been misunderstood for so many years, and it was impossible for him not to feel wronged. However, he steadfastly adhered to his principles, continuously aiding the female zergs.
And now, at this crucial moment in front of the entire zerg race, he cleared Lu Mo’s name and restored his innocence.
The good person who had been misunderstood finally received the recognition he deserved. Years of grievances and oppression were released, and Lu Mo must be close to tears right now.
The zerg emperor turned his gaze and looked at Lu Mo. Sure enough, Lu Mo’s eyes even shimmered with a faint layer of moisture.
The zerg emperor slightly curved his lips—
He had finally completely tamed this male zerg.
He looked at Lu Mo kindly and said, “I truly admire your character. Only a male zerg like you is the true hope of the zerg race.”
Lu Mo lowered his head, his voice trembling imperceptibly, “I truly appreciate your praise.”
“No, it’s what you deserve.”
The zerg emperor reached out and placed his hand on Lu Mo’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, “I want to betroth my most precious female to you, and I hope you won’t refuse.”
Under the influence of his spiritual power, this sentence spread throughout the entire arena.
First, there was a moment of silence, as peaceful as the calm before a storm. Then—
The entire arena erupted in cheers!
“Ooohhh—”
“Fantastic, fantastic, Your Majesty the zerg emperor!!”
“Lu Mo, Lu Mo!!”
“Help, I’m going to cry, Lu Mo truly deserves it!”
…
Everything is under control.
The zerg emperor’s gaze slid discreetly from Ling’s face, and without surprise, he noticed the sudden intensification of killing intent on the face of this Klein zerg.
Heh heh.
Just like this, constantly plunging into madness, constantly battling with one’s own sanity, tearing oneself apart into a twisted state, and finally collapsing.
Follow the path I have arranged and head towards a catastrophic conclusion!
He withdrew his gaze and spoke gently, “Lu Mo, what do you think?”
“…,”
The black-haired male zerg slowly raised his head, his eyes shining remarkably, even causing the zerg emperor to pause for a moment.
Didn’t expect the effect to be so good. Is it because the suppression has been going on for too long?
However, in the next moment, a meaningful smile appeared on Lu Mo’s face. He stared directly at the zerg emperor and said, “What a terrible decision, Your Majesty the zerg emperor.”
He reached out and brushed away the hand that the zerg emperor had placed on his shoulder, displaying an extremely arrogant expression.
The zerg emperor maintained his regal composure, and in his presence, any other zerg would pale in comparison, feeling insignificant. But at this moment, the young male zerg stood tall, his eyes bright, not falling behind in the slightest.
—In fact, one could clearly feel the vibrant vitality within him, like a blooming flower in the height of summer.
He had surpassed the zerg emperor.
The zerg emperor keenly sensed this, and this unprecedented feeling filled him with anger, making it impossible for him to maintain his smile.
He stared deeply into Lu Mo’s eyes and slowly asked, “Why?”
“For no particular reason.” Lu Mo’s attitude was incredibly arrogant. He was half a head taller than the zerg emperor and looked down on him from above. He said, “Your Majesty the zerg emperor, are you always like this? Always monologuing, indulging in the emotions of saving others… thinking that you are bestowing grace upon me and expecting me to be grateful?”
The zerg emperor’s expression twisted for a moment. “But, aren’t you—”
Lu Mo interrupted him without hesitation, “Do you really think you understand me? If you truly understood me, then how could you forget that I once made a vow like that?”
The zerg emperor stared coldly at Lu Mo. He rarely became angry, but at this moment, he was visibly struggling to control his temper.
This kind of anger would make all zergs feel fearful.
Except for Lu Mo.
“If you don’t know, I can tell you again, and let you see clearly what kind of male zerg I am.”
Lu Mo turned to look at Ling.
Under the sunlight, Ling’s silver hair framed his gem-like eyes, and there was a trace of blood on his fair cheek—when he shattered the glass, blood had splattered from his injured hand.
No matter how beautiful a face is, one would grow tired of it with too much exposure. This was something Lu Mo had known long ago. He thought that with the passage of time, he would gradually become accustomed to Ling’s appearance, but the reality turned out to be unexpected.
His affection for Ling didn’t diminish, but instead grew stronger as they spent time together.
Now, whenever he saw Ling, a tender and deeply moved feeling emerged from the depths of his heart, making him almost constantly yearn to touch Ling.
Ah… speaking of which, he seemed to be suffering from a skin hunger.
But now, this symptom only worked on Ling.
Under his gaze, Ling blinked slowly. “My Lord?”
Lu Mo grabbed Ling’s hand and pulled him forcefully—
Ling offered no resistance and followed the force, toppling over. Lu Mo kissed Ling passionately.
This kiss seemed different from the previous ones. Lu Mo noticed many details that he had never noticed before. They fit together so perfectly, and Ling always accepted everything he gave in a gentle manner. But when Lu Mo stumbled and didn’t know what to do next, Ling would subtly guide him, allowing Lu Mo to explore Ling even more deeply…
He suddenly felt a trace of embarrassment.
What a shameless female zerg he was!
After the kiss, Lu Mo gasped for breath and firmly held Ling’s chin. He spoke harshly, “You did that on purpose.”
Ling looked at him and slowly revealed a smile.
So innocent.
“I’ll settle the score with you later,” Lu Mo grumbled, then turned his head to face the pale-faced zerg emperor. “Do you understand now?”
“No matter when, no matter where, and no matter who, my answer is only one—I will only have Ling as my female monarch this lifetime.”
Lu Mo sneered, “You should change this self-righteous character of yours.”
“You!!”
The zerg emperor’s face finally twisted completely.
How could this be? It shouldn’t be like this!
According to his plan, Lu Mo should gratefully accept his arrangement. Since he had started, the subsequent process would become simpler. He would continuously send female attendants and slaves to Lu Mo, and Lu Mo would gradually be corrupted, gradually driving Ling insane—
But it wasn’t going according to plan!
The zerg emperor finally realized one thing.
He could never completely and thoroughly tame Lu Mo.
Perhaps he should have realized it earlier, but as the saying goes, once greed and desires arise, people will be blinded by their own desires…
At this moment, disbelief at the failure of the plan, anger at the hopeless advancement, and resentment at having his thoughts exposed all converged into a towering tsunami of hatred within the zerg emperor’s heart, reaching its peak towards Lu Mo!
Since advancement was hopeless, then everything should be destroyed!
Such thoughts churned in the zerg emperor’s mind, and his turbid yellow eyes regained their former clarity in an instant. His psychic power locked onto Lu Mo, ready to strike.
Even though Lu Mo was an S-class male zerg, the zerg emperor had lived for so many years that eliminating Lu Mo in an instant would be a simple matter.
Kill them!!
The threads formed by the condensed psychic power had already wrapped around Lu Mo’s neck. With just a gentle cut, this male zerg would be decapitated—
However, in the next moment, the zerg emperor’s smile froze on his face.
Because all the zergs, whether in the arena or among the audience watching the live broadcast, from the imperial star to the most remote territories, from the highest-ranking males to the lowliest female slaves, all heard the same voice.
“I bestow grace upon Ling.”
It was… the voice of the Mother zerg!
Author’s Note: The ending of the previous chapter was probably like Lu Mo’s complaint and coquetry.
Sometimes, he would secretly act stubborn and unreasonable in his heart.
Instead of what you might think, he already knows the truth…
Another mission failed successfully. Good job Lu Mo👍
+1
Ha! That perfectly sums up the plot of the story, actually.
The emperor is really greedy and shameless person
Thank You for the new chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
When I saw the point deducted, I could hear Lu Mo’s broken heart sound
