“It’s obvious that according to my arrangements, there wouldn’t be anyone who goes there.” Islair’s voice turned a few degrees colder. “What in the world have you been hiding from me? Or you snuck away to somewhere you shouldn’t go?”

Exactly, I hid a lot of things from you, and I snuck away to somewhere I shouldn’t have gone. ztlB2A

Shao Ci hadn’t spoken when Islair opened his mouth again. “…It’s Prince Hyle, isn’t it? He’s the most debauched person in the palace. He’s touched over a hundred Zergs. If it was him, it wouldn’t be strange that he made a move against you… Or was it Princess Alisa? She likes these young teens the most…”

Shao Ci gaped as Islair said one name after the other. He was practically about to list out Zerg with any kind of relationships. He felt again how much the Zerg race liked to mess around.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Of course, the most important His Majesty the Emperor, Schezar, wasn’t mentioned a single time.

After all, Schezar was so pure and straight-laced that people even suspected that he was a Zerg with problems in such an area. Later the mess of things also happened because his harem was empty and he had no sons. vpMrAd

“If they forced you, just tell me. It doesn’t matter if the other person is some person from the imperial family, I’ll still make them pay. Xiao Ci, you like me, don’t you?” Islair bit his lip, looking at Shao Ci expectantly and reaching out to grab his hand.

But when Shao Ci was touched, his face turned white, and his face was full of struggle. The wrist that Islair grabbed trembled slightly.

Hey, this was obviously the best chance to explain! But it was really too painful. Even if Shao Ci endured it as best he could, he wasn’t strong enough to throw off Islair’s hand. It was simply impossible for him to say anything.

In moments, the aircar turned silent. Without even looking, Shao Ci knew Islair’s expression had turned ugly.

“So you hate me this much? You won’t let me touch you?” Islair’s voice turned completely to ice. “It wasn’t like this before. Although you always looked like you didn’t care, in fact you just didn’t like me, right? There was just no way for you to resist, so you stayed by my side… After all, if it wasn’t for me in the beginning, the lower class Zerg you liked wouldn’t die. You must still hate me…”

Wait a sec, who are you talking about! Why did you have lines that suddenly burst out with such big news! These were little things that happened years ago were all being brought back out. Shao Ci was stunned silly. Yet again, he felt that Islair’s power of imagination was incredibly strong.

“But that was all your fault, too. It was all because of you’re too good to those lowly people. How could they compare? You clearly just need me.” Islair had already fallen back into reminiscing about a dark past. His tone oscillated fiercely. “Back then, I secretly swore that if I met you again, I absolutely wouldn’t let your eyes linger on someone else. Now, I’ve been so earnestly maintaining this peace…”

Lower class Zerg weren’t treated very well. Many died young. Shao Ci didn’t notice which one had died unusually. 1eg2Tp

No matter what, Shao Ci couldn’t remember the lower class Zerg that Islair mentioned that he had liked at first. After all, he had always been very good to the kids who looked good (._.) It was probably all Islair’s imagination.

But this wasn’t the reason Islair was turning black-hearted, okay! This guy had been a bottomless hole of black ever since has young, wasn’t he! If he didn’t mention it, Shao Ci wouldn’t even know about this.

“When I met you again, I definitely did everything I could to cover it up. I always acted like this in front of you, putting on a facade and hoping you would be as warm to me as in the past… But it wasn’t any use. You just won’t forgive me.” Islair had already continued to blacken, pressing Shao Ci directly into a chair.

…Wasn’t the most important reason that the sweet, soft youth turned into a nutjob!! rxm0nl

Shao Ci felt wave after wave of pain burst from the place Islair was touching. His eyes were teary, and he wanted to struggle, but he was pressed tightly to the chair. “D… don’t, mm…”

Islair’s hands slowly slid up to his neck, gripping the bite scar tightly, his gaze subzero. “So now you want to retaliate against me? You want to find some random person and do these kinds of things? I should have just shut you up from the start… As soon as you’re not by my side, who knows what will happen… I need to keep an eye on you all the time…”

Shao Ci was enduring the double attacks on his heart and his body. He couldn’t even say anything to alleviate the pain. He could only gasp for breath, wishing he could faint.

“Right now, what I need to do… is clean up this place first…” Islair grabbed Shao Ci’s lapels, lowering his head to bite where the original mark was, nipping unceasingly until his mark completely covered the old mark. An abnormal red flush crept onto his pale cheeks. “Ah, just like this… It’s only right if your body has my mark…” CPjxX

He had thought Islair was just a lovesick gay, but Shao Ci realized he was wrong. He was just a crazy gay!

Someone hurry up and take away this guy who was sick beyond cure! Shao Ci grieved to himself. In the next moment, he couldn’t keep himself awake any longer. His gaze turned black, and he went completely unconscious.

This was a room with extremely dim lighting. The floor was covered in a soft carpet, and there was a huge bed placed in the middle. Black curtains hung from the top, sheltering the scene inside. QdcnFP

Shao Ci woke up blearily, feeling as though there wasn’t a single place in his body that didn’t hurt. When he pulled off the loose clothes he was wearing, he could see that his body was full of blue-violet marks.

When he remembered what had happened last night, Shao Ci couldn’t help stiffen. Yesterday, after Islair brought him back to the manor, he brought Shao Ci directly into the bathroom, he said a horrifying “It’s only right if your body has my mark” he turned his words into reality.

In the end, Shao Ci had no energy left. When he could only sob quietly, Islair kissed his cheek in satisfaction. Before Shao Ci did anything, his face had already flushed pink in excitement. “Ah, now you only have my marks.” 5hS0H1

“It’s okay, I won’t do anything anymore. I like you so much, how could I hurt you? We can only do things after our wedding…”

“You’re crying? Ah, it’s because you’re too happy, right? You’re also excited for the day we get married, right? Me too, but we still can’t yet…”

After saying a load of things to himself, Islair picked Shao Ci up and put him on the bed with satisfaction. Of course, he was the only one feeling satisfied. Shao Ci felt uncomfortable all over. When Islair fell asleep, Shao Ci struggled free before finally succeeding in falling asleep.

Otherwise, even if he had less nerves, he wouldn’t be able to sleep and get shocked by Islair at the same time, although he was slowly getting used to the electric shocks after so long. 5dMTKr

“This is no good… I need to run away.” As soon as Shao Ci thought about what fucking happened yesterday, his heart turned cold. Furthermore, his apprehension at staying here was secondary. The most important thing was that he couldn’t accomplish his daily task!

Shao Ci shifted his body with difficulty. When he heard the sound of something colliding, he felt that there was something strange. When he looked down, he saw that a pair of silver cuffs had actually been locked around his ankles. The chains were connected to the wall. They were extremely sturdy.

These chains were forged from the newest alloy. Without a key, there was simply no way to open them.

Shao Ci’s expression sank. “…” Sure enough. Sure enough, it wouldn’t be so easy to run away… Islair had gone so crazy last night. It would be more strange if he didn’t do something today. vjxBfe

Shao Ci heard the sound of the door opening, followed closely by the clear sound of footsteps.

“You’re awake?” Islair walked in, holding a plate of food. He pulled open the curtains on the bed, sitting directly at Shao Ci’s side, his voice warm. “From today on, you don’t need to work anymore. I’ll take good care of you…”

“Then what about…” Shao Ci coughed several times. “…What about your work?” As soon as he spoke, he realized his voice was hoarse. It was all because he had cried for too long yesterday night.

Also, why was Islair able to look so normal with what had happened last night! It was even more scary, okay! qIXRs9

“Those things can be managed the same here. Compared to Xiao Ci, it’s not important at all.” Islair casually glossed over the topic, holding up a bowl of congee and bringing a spoon to Shao Ci’s mouth. “Yesterday night, you didn’t eat at all. You’re hungry now, aren’t you? Why don’t you eat a little?”

Who was the one who made it so he couldn’t eat yesterday, huh?!

Although Shao Ci’s internal thoughts were full of fluctuations, he couldn’t waste the food sent to his mouth. Besides, he really was hungry. He immediately and obediently opened his mouth. After swallowing the delicious congee, his hollow stomach felt satisfied.

…Although there were plenty of problems with everything else, Islair’s culinary talent was perfect! hRlvdS

When Shao Ci finished eating the congee, Islair put the bowl back on the tray, then passing a cup of hot water over. He held up to feed Shao Ci, then extended a hand to help wipe off the wet spot by his mouth.

Shao Ci unconsciously reached out to block him. Islair’s gaze darkened, and he pressed Shao Ci down, leaning in without letting him refuse. He licked the spot of water clean, then picked up the tray with a slight smile, walking out.

Shao Ci nearly shouted. Even so, he had broken out in cold sweat, and his mood sank greatly.

If things continued like this, it would be terrible!! Even if Islair thought he was still a lower class Zerg so he couldn’t papapa, if he was forcibly touched like this every day, he would definitely be shocked stupid! JivGtV

Shao Ci reexamined himself closely. As someone who had just become a normal level Zerg, the biggest change was he would finally go into heat and he could reproduce. His strength and five senses had also risen up a level. But if he wanted to break free of the inflexible chains, he ought to dream on.

As for other things, he only had the system’s forcing-you-to-look-sincere plug-in (it didn’t upgrade his fighting strength in the lightest) and his healing ability plug-in (when he used it, it just made Zergs go into heat, he might as well not have it).

Shao Ci didn’t even dare to use his plug-ins to heal his injuries. He was afraid of accidentally making himself go into heat… It would be a joke.

After summing up all that he had, Shao Ci had no choice to admit it. He was a baby with the combat ability of a radish! Escaping was just a dream, okay!! MBixsz

It seemed like the task of praising the capture target and putting them in a good mood, which could come out at any moment, couldn’t be completed.

Shao Ci’s expression turned even more ugly. The system’s punishment was absolutely terrifying. Although it wasn’t a corporal punishment like when he touched Islair, the torture on his spirit was nothing the electric shocks could compare with.

Shao Ci still remembered the first time he hadn’t looked after Chu Jin and stayed at the base sleeping. When he didn’t complete his task, his consciousness was sent to a space. In the space, Shao Ci experienced everything that happened the day before over and over again. Even if he was completely familiar with what happened, he had to do as he was told. After he fell asleep, he would awake in moments. When he woke up, everything happened again from the beginning.

This torture was simply more scary than a straightforward corporal punishment. Shao Ci only woke up after reliving the past countless times. He would rather kiss up to that scumbag Chu Jin for no reward a hundred times than experience that punishment again. Id41b0

But now… As soon as Shao Ci thought of how he had relived the day before so many times, he hated that he couldn’t run against the wall, bash himself to death, and forget about it.

Footsteps came from the side again. When Shao Ci thought about how Islair would say some ridiculous words and do some ridiculous things, his face turned white. He hurriedly laid down in the blankets, faking sleep.

But Shao Ci forgot how little resistance he had to the seduction of the bed’s comfort. When he laid down, he fell asleep immediately…

In a daze, he opened his eyes and discovered he was in the midst of an expanse of fog. Before his eyes was the garden he had to go to every day. 4Tn0UB

“Am I dreaming?” Shao Ci thought.

He didn’t expect that he would even dream about this garden when he was asleep. He suddenly felt like he was very dedicated… Although the garden had gotten much uglier since he became the gardener, this wouldn’t write off the facts of his strenuous labor!

Thus Shao Ci, feeling a sense of pride, wanted to walk inside to appreciate the fruits of his labor, then he noticed a shocking scene.

In the grass of the garden, there was a youth sprawled out on the ground, being kicked and hit by a group of others. Those people’s faces were blurred and unclear, but it was obvious from their clothes that they must be noble Zergs. EafwdI

“You’re just a blind person, you still think you’re so amazing?”

“So what if you’re a prince? As long as we don’t beat you to death, nobody will find us to take responsibility.”

“With such a lowly mother, it’s already incredible that you haven’t been chased out… You actually dare to bite me?!”

The group of people immediately flew into a rage. The youths began to beat him even more viciously. The thin and weak youth silently endured it, gritting his teeth. “I won’t let you… talk badly about Mother.” EmM7HQ

“She was so lowly to begin with and you won’t let people talk?”

“It seems to me that he’s got that lowly blood in his veins as well… Ugh, how disgusting.”

“We’d better not hit him, just thinking about it is disgusting.”

The few of them quickly revealed a disdainful expression and left from another path. Only the weak youth was left to crawl up with difficulty. His expressionless face was cold. avJDsH

That’s right. This youth was Schezar…

Shao Ci was stupefied. Why did he dream that Schezar was getting beat up by other people? Was his resentment too deep?

Shao Ci walked over hesitantly, but his surroundings transformed again. The people who were bullying Schezar were fallen on the ground, their bodies bloodied and their organs torn out. It was gory enough to need a mosaic.

And Schezar, who had grown up slightly, stood in midst of the blood. His angelic face was splattered with fresh blood. He slowly extended a hand to wipe it off. “…It’s finally quiet.” g9K k7

The scene was enough to be a still from a horror movie.

Shao Ci was shocked into stepping backwards. “!” Why would he dream of something like this! Couldn’t he rest properly even in a dream!

In fact, Shao Ci wasn’t really scared of horror movies or gore or anything like that. After all, he knew those were fake. But the scene before his eyes was so real. Just looking at it made his heart go cold.

Soon, the entire scene turned into fog and disappeared. In the next moment, a cold wind blew from behind. Goosebumps rose on Shao Ci’s nape. He quickly turned around. djB fw

The scene before him changed again. It was the middle of a dim main hall. A young man with pale blonde hair sat on the throne, wearing a black ceremonial robe. He had one hand propper up on the throne. He smiled slightly at Shao Ci. “So you came.”

Now that everything had progressed to this point, if Shao Ci still couldn’t guess what was happening he might as well go and jump off a building. Because he wasn’t scared of being bitten to death in a dream, his guts were a bit bigger. “Why would I dream about these things? Or is this not a dream?”

“It’s a dream, but… it’s my dream.” Schezar said slowly, his face propped up on one hand, “Because I left a bit of my essence on you, it’s easy to do…”

Shao Ci: “!!” Although the setting had said that higher level Zergs had stronger physiques and essences, and the king could even use his essence to affect other Zergs, he hadn’t taken it to heart at all before. He didn’t expect that he could even do these things… oq3aD8

“Come. Come to my side.” Schezar extended a hand to Shao Ci.

Shao Ci didn’t really want to move, but he began to walk over without his control. He naturally sat on Schezar’s lap, his upper half resting against Schezar’s body.

What kind of shameful development was this!! If he could, Shao Ci might have jumped up, but he couldn’t control his body. He could only sit there obediently.

“Good child.” Schezar laughed, lowering his head to kiss Shao Ci’s cheek. “Are you afraid of me? You seem to be shaking.” eUDCKh

Shao Ci felt horrible. “No… I just don’t know why you treat me so well.”

Shao Ci suddenly remembered his random task [Praise the capture target and put the target in a good mood], and he immediately said, “You’re so perfect and so outstanding. In front of you, I unconsciously feel inferior. Just being in front of you makes me feel ashamed…”

After saying such a nauseating line, Shao Ci felt a little ashamed. Luckily, Schezar seemed to be happy after hearing those words. The task was completed just like that.

“How could it be… you smell so good, and at that time… it was the first time someone reached out a hand to help me.” Schezar chuckled. “You’re very gentle, and you’re very kind to me… The first time we met, the way you revealed your special ability so easily was also very cute.” 8jC5yf

Shao Ci: “…” The last sentence didn’t even needed to be added on, right??

“This is my first time using this ability… In the past, I’ve never had anyone make me think of anything,” Schezar said warmly. “But because I’m not very good at controlling it, I seem to have brought up a few things from the past. I don’t know if you were scared…”

I was way more than scared! I was scared to death, okay!

Shao Ci: “It—it was fine… But those people, the things they said…” sort of made people really care. PXE4kZ

“Hmm, you heard it,” Schezar said calmly. “That’s right. In fact, my mother was a lower class Zerg.”

Shao Ci immediately regretted it. “!?” Wait a second, if he heard this kind of top-secret behind-the-scenes story of the imperial family that would silence all witnesses, would he be able to keep his life?

“Although she had the status of a lower class Zerg, she was stunningly beautiful. Some noble Zerg gave her as a present to Imperial Father. Of course, this kind of gift was a bit embarrassing. According to reason, she should have been killed immediately, and the noble Zerg should have been punished severely.” Schezar’s attitude was calm, as though he was telling someone else’s story. “But because of Mother’s beauty, Imperial Father’s heart moved immediately. He sneakily kept her. But it was too disgraceful. Even if Mother used the holy stone to become a normal Zerg, she was still the disgrace of the imperial court.”

Shao Ci: “…” Damn, this really was a dog blood plot. mn21Zk

“Although she gained temporary favor because of her beauty, the favor quickly disappeared,” Schezar continued. “After she had me, Mother passed away because of the difficult birth. And, although I had the imperial family’s genes, because I was born unable to see. Imperial Father thought it was all because Mother was a lower class Zerg. He was full of disgust for me.”

Shao Ci felt this was the time to comfort him a bit, then he saw Schezar smile coldly. “Even if he was disgusted with me, so what? In the end, he still died by my hand. Everyone who humiliated me before has already disappeared from this world.”

Shao Ci felt like he would become a corpse soon. This damn business was already something outsiders absolutely couldn’t know! It was all because of his fat mouth QAQ.

“Don’t worry, don’t be scared. I won’t kill you.” Schezar noticed Shao Ci’s change keenly. He smiled slightly. “I’m still waiting for you to become my empress.” J EbZO

Shao Ci: “…”

Wait a second? What was wrong with his ears? He seemed to have heard some very shocking, very scary lines, huh?!

  2. Hmm why is so hard to choose between the two ml’s… The main problem is that they’re both yandere lovesick fools 😂

  3. It’s ridiculous but Shao Ci literally got someone killed just ’cause he was a face-con lolol the poor guy

  4. The host system is good at finding scumbag, yandere’s, and crazy ML/Guys for our MC/Host, dont you agree? 😀😂

    I have read different story with a system too, but the system job was to rewrite/correct the story of each world and make it more likable for the readers and the host that system choose was a host of an all rounder. He either made his target (note; he can choose differ target. Ex. Ml, Ml2, Cannon Foder, Villain, etc.) And make them bad (like perverts, sadist, masochist, yandere, stalker, killer) he had a nack for finding himself a crazy lover 😂😂
