The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!

Chapter 407: Signal Domain

No insect answered this question.An uneasiness rose in their hearts and began to spread continuously.

Meanwhile, inside the Crystal Palace.

Lu Shinian carried Su Ruan to the throne, placed her there to sit, and then searched for the mechanism Cheng Qingye had mentioned.

After some exploration, he touched a small protrusion.

Upon pressing it, a series of clicking sounds came from behind the throne, and in less than two seconds, a secret passage appeared.

Su Ruan heard the sound and asked, "Did you find the hidden chamber?"

"Yes." Lu Shinian responded, picking up Su Ruan.

"I’ll take you to see it."

"Okay." Su Ruan obediently replied, wrapping her arms around Lu Shinian’s neck, allowing him to carry her inside.

Going through the long secret passage, they reached a hidden chamber.

The chamber was small and empty, seemingly devoid of anything special.

Lu Shinian glanced around, frowning.

The lights in the chamber were very dim. Su Ruan initially struggled to see things clearly, and with the lights even dimmer, she could hardly see anything.

She could only seek help from Lu Shinian and asked, "Is there anything in here?"

"There’s nothing." Lu Shinian’s voice was low, "It’s just an empty hidden chamber."

"That’s strange." Su Ruan muttered softly, "Third Brother said there was something here."

Lu Shinian surveyed the surroundings and speculated, "Maybe he hasn’t been here."

"He only knew from the Insect Race’s inheritance that there might be something here."

"But in reality, there is nothing."

With those words said, Little White, the Illusion Insect nestled in Su Ruan’s embrace, suddenly poked its head out.

The little bit of pink on its head shimmered with light, and it moved its body, falling with a plop from Su Ruan’s arms to the ground.

Su Ruan heard the sound and asked, "What was that noise?"

"Little White fell down." Lu Shinian replied.

Su Ruan suddenly understood, "I see."

She reached out to pick up Little White, but it bounced forward a couple of times and stood in the center of the chamber.

Lu Shinian held her wrist firmly and stabilized her, "It went to the middle."

Su Ruan paused, "Do you think what was originally in this chamber could be Little White?"

This guess was really absurd. After all, Little White was actually a gift from Third Brother, who said that Little White could connect with Dabai at his side, so he gave Little White to her to constantly monitor her activities.

After making this guess, Su Ruan laughed to herself.

"Probably not." She said, "What is Little White doing now?"

Lu Shinian glanced at Little White, "It’s laying on the ground."

"Maybe it finds the ground cool."

Su Ruan: ...

"Brother Lu, you can put me down first." She patted his shoulder and said.

Lu Shinian hesitated for a second but still put her down.

However, his large hand held tightly onto her arm, unwilling to let go at all.

After standing firm, Su Ruan made an effort to identify where Little White was.

She vaguely saw a small white dot, which she assumed must be Little White.

"Little White, are you feeling hot?" She asked.

Upon hearing Su Ruan’s question, Little White twisted its body, turned around, and looked at her.

The small figure slightly arched, with the pink color on its head becoming more pronounced.

Whether due to Su Ruan’s illusion or because the surrounding darkness made the pink hue so obvious, she felt that there was even a hint of red within that pink.

She tilted her head and crouched down slowly, reaching out her hand.

"Little White, come to me."

Little White didn’t hesitate and bounced over to Su Ruan, nudging her fingertips with its pointy head.

The scorching heat felt from the fingertips was totally different from Little White’s usual touch.

Little White had always been icy cool, but when did its body become so hot?

"Little White, your body is really hot." Su Ruan said, tinged with a trace of worry, "What’s going on?"

Little White couldn’t answer Su Ruan’s question and continued to nudge her fingertips with its pointy head.

Beside her, Lu Shinian also crouched down and touched Little White’s body.

It felt icy cold.

"Ruan Ruan." He looked worried, "The Little White I touched is cold."

Su Ruan was startled and quickly asked, "What about its pointy head? Is that cold too?"

Lu Shinian touched Little White’s pointy head again and replied, "That’s cold too."

Clearly, it was the same Little White, so why were she and Brother Lu’s perceptions completely different?

Su Ruan pursed her lips and withdrew her hand.

Things seemed to have slipped from her control and expectations, moving in a direction she couldn’t foresee.

Su Ruan felt a bit lost for a moment.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and the small antenna on her head quivered slightly as well.

Invisible waves emanated from her small antenna, spreading at a speed unimaginable to anyone.

Far away in the Empire, Cheng Yushu groaned suddenly during a special period.

"Yushu!" Su Hanjing grabbed his arm, "Did I hurt you?"

Cheng Yushu shook his head, his fingertips pressing against his temple, speaking with difficulty, "Someone is invading the Insect Race’s Signal Domain."

"What Signal Domain?" Su Hanjing pressed on.

Cheng Yushu’s complexion was pale, his weakness obvious, and he slowly explained, "The Signal Domain is the unique communication method of the Insect Race."

"We communicate with a signal different from human spiritual power fluctuations."

"The Signal Domain has always been controlled by the Insect Queen."

"In the Signal Domain, the Insect Queen has absolute control; it can determine life and death."

The Insect Race is a clan that doesn’t care about ethics or morality; as the highest ruler, the Insect Queen holds absolute power over life and death.

It doesn’t even need to act personally; just a thought can drive all insects to do its bidding or even offer all their food.

"After the Insect Queen died, the Signal Domain, without the spiritual power of the Insect Queen, was on the brink of collapse."

"Once the Signal Domain collapses, the Insect Race can’t communicate, so I barely managed to support the Signal Domain."

"But I’m not the Insect Queen, so I can only barely maintain the communication signal between the High-level Insect Race and the Queen, along with some Low-level Insect Clan members."

Cheng Yushu coughed lightly, blood faintly oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Originally, I just needed to support it until a new Insect Queen was born."

"But..."

His face grew even paler.

"But Lu Shinian fused with the Insect Queen’s Insect Crystal, so in a sense, Lu Shinian is the Insect Queen."

"Because of this, a new Insect Queen cannot be born; strictly speaking, the Insect Queen hasn’t entirely died, it just fused with Lu Shinian."

"But Lu Shinian is human; he can’t connect to the Insect Race’s Signal Domain, let alone maintain it."
