The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 27 I've already done it...

"What is the other part..." Ling Yi's voice became unsteady. Qi Min was too close, his breath was splashing on his face.

Ling Yi's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He could clearly feel Qi Min's warm breath, which seemed to carry an invisible sense of pressure, making him somewhat flustered.

Ling Yi turned her head slightly, wanting to get up and avoid the overly intimate distance, but Qi Min's hand, which had been placed on her waist at some point, held her firmly, trapping her on the sofa and preventing her from getting up.

She turned around in surprise, only to meet Qi Min's deep eyes. In an instant, the two of them were face to face even closer.

"Where is the female ruler going? Aren't you going to ask?" Qi Min asked softly, his voice low and full of ambiguity.

"Yes...you asked, I'd like to get a glass of water."

Ling Yi looked away, avoiding Qi Min's gaze, a hint of panic in his eyes, and awkwardly licked his dry lips.

Qi Min lowered his gaze to Ling Yi's lips, which had become moist again, a dark look welling up in his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly...

There's water on the coffee table, let me get it for you.

Qi Min didn't let go of Ling Yi. He took the water from the coffee table with his free hand and handed it to Ling Yi, gesturing for him to drink.

Ling Yi held the water glass that Qi Min handed him, unsure whether to drink it or not, and was in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, could you... release me first?" Ling Yi asked somewhat awkwardly.

Qi looked at him for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand from around Ling Yi's waist, letting him go for the time being.

"Another part is because... he threatened me."

As Qi Min answered Ling Yi's question, he slowly moved to the side, creating some distance so that Ling Yi would feel more comfortable.

"Threatening you? Threatening you with what?"

Perhaps feeling more at ease, Ling Yi couldn't help but press Qi Min for answers.

"He threatened me... if I didn't sever his tendons, he would have his father lock me up and beat me to death."

I had no choice but to give in to him, but who knew he'd be so useless? He fainted right after I finished choosing and didn't even say thank you.

Qi Min looked helpless, his brows furrowing slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Ling Huiyao's reaction.

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min, who was calmly talking about something trivial, with complicated emotions in his eyes, knowing that this was definitely not the real reason.

But that's not the point. The point is... how exactly did Qi Min plan and execute all of this in such a short time?

He felt he might have found himself a... very, very special male.

Ordinary male insects only dare to attack female insects, not only because of institutional restrictions, but also because female insects are genetically predisposed to be close to male insects, and some do not want to or cannot resist.

While it's not uncommon for male insects to fight each other, it's extremely rare, and they're almost always of the same level.

To be able to not only severely injure a male insect but also sever its tendons, requiring a repair chamber to recover, is something Ling Yi knows of; Qi Min is the first person to do so.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask? Ask it now!"

Qi Min felt that asking one by one was too troublesome, so he preferred to let Ling Yi ask them all at once. He was getting a little tired, after all, beating people was a physically demanding task.

"Yes, what are the plant ingredients in Ling Huiyao's wine glass? The clues at the scene are very clean."

How did you manage to do that? And... have you considered the consequences of being exposed?

Ling Yi bombarded him with a series of questions, determined to get to the bottom of things.

Qi Min's eyes widened slightly, and his lips parted slightly, as if he hadn't expected Ling Yi to ask such detailed questions.

Seeing Qi Min's somewhat dazed expression, Ling Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he felt inexplicably more at ease. A faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes softened.

Qi Min lowered his head and pondered for a moment before answering Ling Yi's question.

"That's just the bulb of a flower. Eating it will cause vomiting and diarrhea. I brought spare clothes, used balloons to block the surveillance cameras, and found a blind spot to change into the clothes."

I had Ling Huiyao tell me his location beforehand, and I told him I was coming to visit him and asked him to wait for me there.

After I got there, I changed his drink and waited for him in the nearest restroom. When he came in...

I saw a flower on my way out, and I thought it was very pretty, so I brought it out to give to you. That's about it. By the way, where's the flower I gave you?

Qi Min simply recounted the general course of his crime without answering the consequences of his actions being exposed. Instead, he suddenly changed the subject and asked about the flowers he had given to Ling Yi.

"Hmm? Flowers?"

Ling Yi was still thinking about Qi Min's account of the crime when he suddenly heard Qi Min ask about flowers, and he was a little taken aback.

"Hmm, flowers," Qi Min asked Ling Yi again.

"The flowers are in the car, my lord. There's one last question you haven't answered," Ling Yi reminded him.

"Sigh... Ling Huiyao and I only wanted sexual intercourse. He threatened me with his father. What could I do? I just did what he said. What consequences could there be?"

Qi Min frowned slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Besides, according to the male insect protection law that his father is in charge of, I am a high-level male insect and he is a low-level one. He made threats, and I was threatened. Who can say anything about that?"

Qi Min had already decided to take action against Ling Huiyao before leaving home today, but he hadn't yet determined the specific method.

While Ling Yi was telling him about his family situation in the car, Qi Min was already researching related information.

Qi Min initially only wanted to beat that person up, but after meeting and chatting, he came up with a more appropriate plan, and that's how it was implemented so naturally.

"You... you've thought this through very thoroughly. Why didn't you choose to continue hiding it from me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell others? After all, you hit my brother."

Ling Yi licked his lips, feeling alarmed by his meticulous plan, and unsure how to ask.

Qi Min laughed when he saw his expression, as if he was laughing at him for asking such a naive question.

"I already said that according to the male insect protection law, he can't do anything to me, so whether you say it or not doesn't matter."

Furthermore, I never intended to hide it from you. Whether you had someone investigate today or not, I was going to tell you anyway.

I don't believe that you didn't want to fight back after being beaten like that. Since it's inconvenient for you to do it, it just so happens that I want to do it too. Isn't that a logical thing to do?

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, I took some souvenir photos for you..." Qi Min smiled and sent a few pictures to Ling Yi using his personal terminal.

Ling Yi looked at the bloody and violent pictures sent by Qi Min, his eyes were calm, but he felt a strange emotion in his heart, not towards Ling Huiyao in the picture, but towards the male insect in front of him.

"How is it? Seeing him like this, are you any happier?" Qi Min's tone carried a hint of expectation.

"Is the ruler doing this just to make me happier?" Ling Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but if this makes you unhappy, there's nothing I can do. After all... I've already done it."

Qi Min shrugged slightly, his eyes revealing a nonchalant expression.

"I'm very happy, thank you, my lord."

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min for a moment and smiled slightly. He was indeed a little happy. It seemed that Qi Min was the first person in his life to stand up for him and take revenge because he was injured.

"Now that you're happy, can you make me happy too?" Qi Min slowly approached, closing the distance between himself and Ling Yi, looking at Ling Yi with anticipation on his face.
