You Que was wearing a well-tailored suit today. The low-key and elegant black color made him look even more mysterious. A diamond collar clip was pinned on his silver-gray tie, and there were no other complicated decorations.
The crystal chandeliers above the banquet hall were bright and dazzling, but they were far less eye-catching than You Que's stern face. He exuded a cold, hard, and confident aura. He was not as frivolous and weak as other male insects. When the strong female insects saw him, they would even have a desire to be conquered.
Many of the female guests secretly weakened their legs when they saw You Que. They stared at him with the burning gaze that only appeared during the puberty period, and swallowed their saliva unconsciously:
He is indeed a pure-blooded male insect, with impeccable appearance and figure. I would be willing to die if I could have a chance to have sex with His Majesty.
When Ma Lun saw You Que coming in, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his expression and greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty You Que, it is an honor to have you here. Welcome, please come in."
At least half of the insects present knew about the grudge between Ma Lun and Sanya. It would be weird if You Que was too enthusiastic, so he kept a distant attitude and just said thank you lightly.
As he was talking, You Que suddenly spotted Chief Harrington and his men, and took the initiative to step forward and said, "Chief Harrington, Major General Brand, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Ah Sui quietly popped his head out from behind when he heard that, pointed at himself and said, "And me, I'm here too."
You Que smiled and said, "Are you here to play?"
Faced with the rare pure-blooded male insect, the female insects all let go of their reserved manners, either extending olive branches or showing off their family background, just hoping to get a glance from You Que.
Upon hearing this, Brand silently rubbed Asui's fluffy and soft hair, feeling a little guilty. He had been busy with military affairs during this period and had no time to accompany his master.
The banquet had just begun, and the restroom was empty and silent. When You Que entered, he saw Eggers standing inside. He was dressed in a black suit and looked respectable, but he looked haggard and a little timid.
You Que and Asui were from the same hometown, so their relationship was naturally different. He took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and clinked glasses with Chief Harrington: "It's okay, I don't usually have many friends. If Asui is bored in the future, you can come to my house for more gatherings."
During this period, many female insects came up with wine glasses and chatted with You Que. They blushed and their hearts beat fast just by looking at each other, and they were aroused.
"Your Majesty has just recovered and been discharged from the hospital. How can you exercise vigorously? I have an S-level recovery potion in my home. If Your Majesty is free someday, you can come and get it in person."
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have just arrived in the south. If you want to go around, I would be happy to serve you."
After You Que said this to Asui, he turned around and disappeared into the guest room. Many female insects followed You Que quietly from behind, but when they found that the male insect had walked into the bathroom, they had to stop in embarrassment.
They were the only two people in the entire banquet hall with black hair, which made them stand out.
Asui said as a matter of course: "I came to play with you."
Ah Sui's eyes lit up when he heard that: "Really? Then I'll come to your house to play next time."
You Que gently placed the wine glass in his hand on the decorative table and did not explain in too much detail: "He has a grudge against the Ma Lun family. Didn't you hear about it when you came here?"
Ah Sui heard it, but forgot about it for a moment. He bit his fork and frowned angrily: "How can there be such a bad male insect in the world to steal your partner's wings? Brand's wings are so beautiful, and I always touch them gently!"
"I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon."
"I wonder if I would have the honor of asking you to dance with me?"
You Que didn't know what the wings of a southern female insect looked like, and he had never seen the beauty of Sanya, so he didn't know how to start a conversation. He glanced casually and suddenly found a black figure standing in the corner, looking at him hesitantly, and narrowed his eyes silently.
Asui went to the table next to him and took a piece of cake. While eating, he asked curiously, "Why didn't you bring your partner with you today? Otherwise, you won't have anyone to dance with you later."
The host of this banquet was originally Maren, but You Que was having a great time chatting with Brande and the others, which made him seem to have little presence. How awkward.
You Que took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The pervasive smell of tobacco quickly overwhelmed the pungent aroma of the bathroom. He lowered his eyes and lit the cigarette, saying calmly, "How is it, is there any result?"
However, You Que's expression did not change much. He politely declined, using the excuse that he had something to say to Asui, and found a secluded corner by the window to talk in a low voice with the other party.
Chief Harrington had long been accustomed to Asui's innocent and playful nature. Upon hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said helplessly to You Que, "Asui has just arrived in the south and doesn't have many friends. When he heard that you would come to the banquet today, he dragged us out. Please don't be surprised."
Eggers nodded tremblingly: "You... what you want is in Beowen's bedroom, the first room on the corner of the second floor. There is a secret room in his bedroom, and the mechanism is behind the portrait on the wall..."
You Que had checked the archives before coming. Hearing this, he looked up at Eggers, raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I wanted to know this, why didn't I just go to the police station to retrieve the archives, instead of going through so much trouble to get you out?"
All the police stations that Eggers mentioned have records, and the police even searched the secret room at the time, but did not find any trace of Sanya's wings.
Eggers' face turned pale when he heard this, fearing that You Que would send him back in, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, in fact, there is another small compartment in the secret room. The collections that cannot be seen by the light are all in it. I used to be close to Beowen, and I saw him showing off before, but I only remember that the mechanism was under the table, and I didn't know the password, and he refused to show it to me."
You Que brushed off the ash from his cigarette slowly, his voice somehow dangerous: "Are you sure you don't know the password?"
Eggers wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a sad face, "Although I get along well with Beowin, we are just good friends. Only he knows the password. And since Beowin died, his bedroom has been locked by Maren. No one can enter."
You Que frowned but said nothing. He probably felt that the deal he made was not worth it. After all the trouble, he only got such useless news from Eggers.
"… "
Dead silence is the most tormenting thing for a bug. Eggers didn't hear You Que's answer for a long time, and he almost knelt down in front of him, "I, I, I... This is all I know, and I really don't know anything else."
As if to make amends, he revealed another piece of information he had heard: "When the banquet was held today, Lemi and Lai Xing also came."
You Que paused holding his cigarette when he heard this, and frowned even more tightly: "Why are they here?"
Maren didn't even invite Sanya, so why did he invite Lemmy and Lexing for no reason
Eggers explained, "Today's banquet has many officers, and their subordinates will also come with them. The superior officer of Lemilei Star is also among the invitations from the Maren family. It is likely that Maren has not given up yet."
You Que also suspected that Ma Lun had bad intentions. Thinking of this, he frowned and put out his cigarette, saying, "I'll go out and take a look first. Tell me if you have any news."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left the bathroom. Eggers stayed in there for about ten minutes, and after making sure that no bugs noticed this place, he also left the bathroom.
After You Que returned to the banquet hall, he searched for Lemi Laixing inconspicuously. Finally, he found them at the edge of the guests' circle and walked over with a glass of wine.
The Lemilexing people were obviously unwilling to attend this banquet. They followed their superiors throughout the whole process, frowning and saying nothing.
Count Kirk had long been attracted by this pair of beautiful twins, who looked exactly the same. It would be very interesting to play with them in bed. He seemed to be chatting with the officers, but in fact, he was completely focused on Lemirexing, staring at them with obscene eyes.
"Lemmy, Lexing."
A deep and familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears, startling the Lemilai Stars. They turned around in surprise, only to see You Que appear behind them at some point. Their expressions suddenly relaxed, as if they had seen reinforcements: "Your Majesty?!"
You Que nodded slightly: "When did you come to the party? Why didn't you come to me?"
Laimilaixing originally wanted to find You Que, but he was surrounded by either leaders or high-ranking dukes, so it was not convenient for them to approach him.
Lemmy explained, "We came to the banquet with our superiors. We saw you were busy just now, so we didn't go over." You Que knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, so he frowned and said, "You guys go back. Sanya is also at home."
When Lemire was about to speak, Count Kirk suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the military is boring. It's a rare opportunity to host a banquet. Why bother ruining the party? Leaving the table midway is not polite, and Lemire will not be able to explain to their superiors."
You Que looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a thin white male insect. He was wearing a purple and gold corduroy suit, which was quite gorgeous and shining.
You Que obviously didn't care about these. He ignored Earl Kirk and turned his head to look at Lemmy and asked, "Do you have a car?"
Lemi Laixing nodded: "Yes."
You Que: "Go home now. If your superior disagrees, let him come to me."
Upon hearing this, Lemi Laixing's eyes flashed with surprise and he quickly left the banquet. Earl Kirk, standing aside, turned green in the face. He felt that You Que was too arrogant and didn't take him seriously.
Ma Lun stood in the distance, taking in the whole scene, wondering what he was thinking.
Earl Kirk sneered and said, "Your Majesty, you are so majestic!"
You Que asked calmly, "I'm just taking care of household affairs. You seem to be worrying too much about me?"
He almost scolded him for meddling in other people's business.
Lord Kirk choked when he heard this: "You!"
You Que didn't want to argue with him, so he turned around and went to find Ah Sui. He walked to the male insect who was eating cake, leaned close to his ear and whispered something, and the latter was stunned: "Are you sure?"
You Que: "I'm worried about something unexpected happening. You're good at martial arts, so help me keep an eye on it."
Ah Sui bit his fork and agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, then go ahead, I'll take care of this matter."
The dance had already begun and the guests were looking for dance partners. You Que also returned to the center of the venue. No one noticed that Brande and Asui quietly left the banquet hall.
You Que gently shook the wine glass, secretly thinking about what reason he could use to go upstairs without arousing suspicion. However, many female insects were staring at him today, and he would definitely be noticed if he left for too long.
And at some point a young and beautiful female appeared beside Maren. She had long, thick hair like seaweed, long legs and a thin waist, and affectionate eyes. Almost half of the male insects at the scene were attracted by her. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a stunner.
Someone nearby introduced him to You Que, "He is Lord Maren's youngest son, Nalando. Your Majesty, this sub-female must have been fascinated by you. He has been staring at you."
You Que's whole mind was focused on the upstairs. Hearing this, he noticed that there was a beautiful female sub-wolf standing next to Ma Lun. He looked in the direction she was standing, and their eyes met in mid-air, and he received a sexy wink.
You Que took a sip of wine, his expression unchanged.
Nalanda was already holding a glass of wine, walking slowly towards Youque. He was tall and beautiful as a painting when he walked, and his voice was slightly seductive:
"Your Majesty, I have heard of your great reputation for a long time, but it is better to meet you in person. My name is Nalanda, and I am very happy to meet you."
After he finished speaking, he touched Youque's shoulder and the sweet fragrance from his body came towards Youque, carrying the unique courtship hint of the animal kingdom, making the male insects around him envious.
You Que didn't know what this sub-female wanted to do, so he could only wait and see: "Nice to meet you."
Nalanda stood up straight, his charming eyes wandering around You Que: "You don't like dancing, right?"
You Que smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Why do you ask?"
Nalando's eyes were long and narrow, which made him look more scheming than the military female. "I just saw many female insects come to invite you to dance, but you rejected them all."
You Que asked nonchalantly, "What if I just didn't find a suitable dance partner?"
Nalanda seemed to have received some kind of "hint" from You Que after hearing this. His smile deepened and he stretched out his slender white right hand: "Then I wonder if I have the honor to do so?"
Of course.
You Que thought that as long as Nalanda could go up to the second floor, he would have this "honor".
"It's my honor."
You Que placed his wine glass on the waiter's tray and unexpectedly accepted Nalanda's invitation to dance. He took the hand that Nalanda handed over and stepped onto the dance floor with him in full view of everyone.
A guest said to Maren with emotion: "Nalando's beauty is well known. Even His Majesty the Pureblood has to fall for him. Lord Maren, you gave birth to a good bug cub."
Ma Lun didn't show it, but it was obvious that he was secretly relieved: "You are too kind."
After he finished speaking, he winked at the waiter beside him, and when the other insects were not paying attention, he whispered, "Tell them that they can start, and remember to deliver the 'thing' personally."
You Que and Nalanda were in the middle of the dance floor, seeing the whole scene. He withdrew his gaze indifferently, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, his steps suddenly lost their rhythm while he was dancing, and Nalanda stumbled and stepped on his foot.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!"
Nalanduo was panicked for a moment, unable to believe that he had made such a big mistake. He quickly supported You Que and asked nervously, "Did I hurt your foot?"
You Que said nothing, but frowned and stretched his toes: "It's okay, it's not serious, but I may not be able to dance with you, can you find a lounge for me?"
After he finished speaking, he looked around and subconsciously glanced upstairs.
In fact, there was a lounge downstairs, but Nalanduo remembered Ma Lun's instructions, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. He leaned over to support You Que and whispered seductively: "There is a lounge on the second floor. Let me help you up, come."
After he finished speaking, he helped You Que walk upstairs, and the latter did not refuse. The remaining guests understood everything when they saw this, and they were all very angry for a moment.
Rest? I hope these two bugs don’t end up resting on the bed!
You Que limped up the stairs and accidentally touched Nalanda's hand, but he took it back without changing his expression.
Nalanda's hands were slender and soft, without even a scratch on the skin. It was obvious that he grew up in a rich and luxurious environment. The heaviest thing he had ever lifted in his life was probably chopsticks.
Very different from Sanya's hands...
Sang Ya had been a soldier's wife. His hands were bony and covered with thin calluses. He had held guns, wielded knives, and seen blood. He could crawl out of the pile of corpses in Black Stone Prison, and he could also gently caress You Que's face on the bed and call him "master" in a low voice.
You Que suddenly realized that he had only been separated from Sanya for a short while, but he began to miss this untamed female insect...
