Chapter 8, The Queen of the Insectoid Race
Qin Xi felt quite dismayed by the taste of that fox, questioning what difference there was between such a decoration method and a Christmas tree... it was so tacky... it resembled those nouveau riche who are eager to flaunt their wealth.
... ...
Qin Xi understood the implications of the words from the Nine-Tails, and thus compromised and complied
After all, two half-bodied men do not equal one whole man
Those handsome warriors of the Warcraft seem completely unconcerned, instead bursting into laughter
The Nine-Tails said proudly, "It was I who made him pretend."
"Long time no see, Queen Qingji." Jiuwei greeted lightly, then gestured for Qin Xi to come down.
You might as well let him add more seasonings to his cooking. Qin Xi quietly complained that wearing beautiful clothes in the primeval forest was nothing but a burden and a hassle
First, I selected a relatively elegant solid-colored long skirt, then tidied up my messy hair. I found two pieces of elegant jewelry from the box to wear. Looking in the small mirror, I felt that, combined with the little girl's adorable appearance, it should not be considered impolite
Instead of encountering a terrifying alien, I saw a beautiful woman emerging halfway from the thicket. She had long, golden curls and emerald green eyes, her complexion was pale, and she was adorned with jewelry all over her body. Her clothing was embellished with exquisite lace trim, and she held a delicate parasol in her hand, though the colors of these items were no longer fresh and showed signs of wear.
What Qin Xi found even more perplexing was why, in that box with limited space for items and insufficient living supplies, so many pieces of jewelry and miscellaneous items that were of no help to daily life were crammed in.
Unexpectedly, after the nine-tailed fox returned dragging a branch with a snake fruit, it glanced at Qin Xi and immediately exclaimed: "Daughter! This outfit will not do, it is too plain. Go and put on the most elaborate and splendid dress from the box, and wear all the jewelry adorned with gemstones that sparkles, the more the better!"
No, it should be a horror movie scene
A rustling sound came from the bushes again, and many monsters with handsome upper bodies and insect-like lower bodies emerged, curiously observing Qin Xi.
The nine-tailed fox slyly instructed: "Hehe, when you meet the Zerg Queen later, no matter what that big mother bug says or wants, you must agree immediately without any hesitation, do you understand?"
Queen Qingji tilted her head and asked curiously, "What is wrong with you?"
This statement cannot be considered a lie, but Queen Qingji clearly did not think negatively. She smiled innocently, and after laughing for a long time, she waved her hand behind her and called out: "You all come out and take a look at the little one brought by the Nine-Tails, it is very cute."
In the midst of the mist, a sudden distortion occurred, revealing a small tunnel among the rocks ahead. From within came a soft and melodious voice: "The Nine-Tailed Fox King has graced us with his presence, please come in quickly, do not hold it against my ignorant younger generation."
Husband is for eating? Qin is collapsing
Upon seeing the lower half of Queen Qingji, Qin nearly let out a scream. It was an extremely large, red-spotted insect leg, measuring several meters in length, with a hard exoskeleton and eighteen legs adorned with knife-like barbs. In stark contrast to the beauty of the upper body, it appeared even more terrifying.
A faint rustling sound came from the bushes, sending a chill down Qin Xi's spine. She tightly grasped the fur of the nine-tailed fox, watching warily in the direction from which the sound originated
This is truly the realm of a female-dominated harem of three thousand. Qin Xi took a look at their handsome upper bodies and felt a blatant sense of jealousy. However, upon glancing at their terrifying lower halves, she quickly retracted her jealousy.
The further one goes, the denser the fog becomes, making it nearly impossible to see the scenery just two meters ahead. A thin golden aura emanates from the Nine-Tails, gently enveloping Qin Xi and himself, isolating them from the unpleasant fog.
Upon meeting Her Majesty the Queen, it is only natural to dress more formally. Qin Xi, who comes from a long line of commoners, felt somewhat nervous. After the Nine-Tails departed, she quickly began to groom and adorn herself.
This is my husbands. Queen Qingji introduced them enthusiastically, but after thinking for a long time, she still could not remember all their names
This is how it should be worn! The nine-tailed fox is completely indifferent, insisting that she dress according to her own demands. Finally, just before setting off, she even takes along a small parasol adorned with lace, which serves no practical purpose.
The journey to the insect tribe is extremely long, and even though the Nine-Tails is faster than a car, it still took nearly two hours. At this point, the scenery before me had transformed from lush forests to dark and deep surroundings, with swamps shrouded in mist that exuded a foul odor, making one feel uncomfortable after inhaling it
Countless spider webs of various sizes are spread between the branches, with insects reduced to mere shells within the webs. The nine-tailed fox carefully traverses the ground, trying to avoid touching those terrifying webs.
"Hmm, is this the girl you mentioned?" Queen Qingji did not look at the Nine-Tails, but instead stared intently at Qin Xi, fixating on her adornments and attire, as if a child had spotted candy, and then stepped forward.
In an instant, the jungle was inundated by a swarm of insects, with the buzzing of wings resonating all around.
The nine-tailed fox gracefully stepped forward with delicate strides, lowered her head as she entered the tunnel, and cast a somewhat uneasy glance at Qin, reminding her not to forget the words she had previously spoken.
The next day, Jiuwei woke up very early, inadvertently waking up Qin Xi in her arms
At the end of the tunnel lies a vast open space, filled in the center with the skeletons of beasts and humans. Surrounding it are countless ancient vines entwined around towering trees, their broad leaves obscuring the light, transforming day into night, resembling a mysterious and eerie realm
Queen Qingji was mesmerized as she gazed at Qin, and proudly added: "They are all very delicious"
She rubbed her eyes and yawned several times, sitting up to see that it was still dark outside. Confused, she asked, "Father Fox, are we leaving so early to visit the elders?"
Qin Xi finally felt that her breathing had become much smoother. She began to carefully observe her surroundings, only to be astonished to find that everywhere here—on the trees, on the ground, and on the rocks—was covered with densely packed insect-type magical beasts, which had wings or sharp spines, appearing very strange and repulsive
The insect corpses began to accumulate, falling to the ground in abundance, forming a thick layer.
What is even more terrifying is that the brains of insect-type monsters have an extremely small capacity. Their intelligence is very low, lacking both fear and thought. Therefore, upon discovering intruders in their territory, they show no fear, spreading their wings or extending their spiked legs, and immediately launch an attack
Qin Xi immediately steadied his mind and calmly replied: "Upon first seeing Her Majesty the Queen, I was astonished by her beauty and felt somewhat excited"
In the morning, I will go to the Insect Clan, and in the afternoon, I will visit the Dragon Clan, resolving everything in one go. The Nine-Tails stretched lazily and walked towards the door, saying, "I will go get some food, you take this time to groom yourself and dress up nicely."
As Qin Xi felt a surge of tension causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the golden pupils of the Nine-Tails. The enchanting cries of the fox echoed, and under the powerful influence of its mental manipulation, the surrounding insects halted their movements, turned against one another, and began to slaughter each other, creating an extraordinarily dramatic scene
