StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 2 The beginning of the collapse of heaven

So, can someone tell her what's going on? Why is the man's mouth opening and closing without making a sound?

“Um…” Shen Qingqing raised her hand to answer, “Big brother, I might be deaf, I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

Saenster froze, his hand that was rubbing his hair. He never expected that his queen insect, the treasure of the insect race, would be born with a disability!

Can't you hear me?

Saenster struggled to get up, but was unable to move due to the huge impact on his body, and the two of them lay supine in the pit in the position where he was holding her.

"It's alright, Queen Insect."

Suddenly, a sentence echoed in Shen Qingqing's mind. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and upon closer listening, it contained a hint of self-blame and helplessness.

"I can hear you!" Shen Qingqing exclaimed in surprise. "I couldn't hear you before."

Saenster, who had just established a mental link with Shen Qingqing, chuckled. His elegant and charming voice entered her ears as if surrounded by a 360-degree surround sound system, making Shen Qingqing's heart tremble.

Is this man's voice really that nice?

Upon hearing the Insect Queen's inner thoughts, Saenster could no longer suppress his love. The Insect Queen liked his voice; she loved him!

The emotional fluctuations were transmitted to Shen Qingqing's brain via the brain link, and after understanding what the man meant, she blushed. How could this person...?

“It’s a brain-brain mental link,” Saenster explained, pointing to their temples with his still-functioning right hand.

"Our Zerg have a unique way of communicating, which allows us to establish mental links between Zerg to achieve short- to medium-distance communication, while shielding us from other races."

It's like exchanging brainwaves, Shen Qingqing thought.

"Yes, the Insect Queen is very clever."

The little insect mother was stunned to realize that her inner thoughts were being spied on. If they established a connection, wouldn't he be able to know everything she was thinking?

Is there no personal privacy left at all?!

Lying beneath him, listening to the insect queen's thoughts, Saenster wondered whether he should tell his insect queen that the mental link between the brain and the brain could be severed.

Forget it, let’s not talk about it.

He is naturally quiet.

"So, you're not human, right?" After thinking for a long time, Shen Qingqing finally tried to ask.

After all, she was unfamiliar with this place, so she needed to find out what it was like.

"Yes." Although he felt somewhat doubtful, he still communicated through the mental link.

"We are the Zerg, the most valiant and warlike race in the interstellar universe, and you—"

Shen Qingqing, who was inexplicably called out, pointed to herself: "Me?"

Saenster turned his face away from her: "You are the treasure of our insect race, the noble insect queen."

Is this some kind of hellish joke?

Shen Qingqing stared at his body, which was almost identical to a human's, and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she realized something extremely important—she wasn't wearing any clothes!

No wonder that person turned their head away after just one glance down; that's why!

With her face flushed, Shen Qingqing stretched out her arm and covered his eyes with her hand.

If you appear in front of someone without clothes on, what is the best course of action?

Of course, it's to cover other people's eyes!

As long as others can't see it, it can be treated as if it doesn't exist.

"Don't look at me," the small, helpless child said stubbornly, while also threatening someone, "or else, or else you'll regret it!"

The person being threatened by a tiny figure who barely reached their chest said, "Hmm, I won't look."

Looking around, I found that apart from the lush, well-grown grass, there seemed to be nothing nearby to cover myself with.

There wasn't even a tattered burlap sack!

Just as Shen Qingqing was hesitating about how to start the conversation, the man's movements pulled her to one side, causing her to fall uncontrollably.

Help! Her legs won't obey her commands!

Just a second before her face was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Saenster scooped her up with his long arms and held her firmly in his embrace.

"It's too dangerous here, we must leave as soon as possible."

At that moment, she couldn't care less about shame or anything like that; she only remembered hearing noises outside while she was still inside the egg.

The initial assessment is that some troublemakers may be trying to harm her.

"Where are we going..." Shen Qingqing curled up as much as possible. Although her legs wouldn't obey her and she was deaf, she could still escape by wriggling.

Besides...

Shen Qingqing draped her arm over Saenster's shoulder, letting the man lead her away.

Shortly after they left, a starship landed not far away.

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally found a secluded spot, a cave that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Lord Insect Mother..."

The man knelt on the ground with a thud. The uneven rocks pierced through his already tattered armor, and the long sword in his hand was also stuck into the ground by its owner, emitting a mournful cry.

"You, you, you, what are you doing?"

Shen Qingqing had a headache. She really couldn't understand this man's thought process. Was he going to kneel down and bow to people at the drop of a hat?

"My Queen," Saenster said, forcing back his grief, "I am guilty, please punish me."

Although she didn't quite understand men's worldview, Shen Qingqing, out of humanitarian concern, still spoke up:

"Actually, I'm not the insect queen you're talking about. I'm just... just an ordinary person. Although I don't know why I was born from an egg, I can guarantee that..."

Shen Qingqing raised her right hand, holding up three fingers, and said confidently, "I was definitely born from the womb!"

However, Saenster, who was already caught in self-doubt, did not hear what she said. He only felt guilty when he heard Shen Qingqing say that she was not the insect mother.

It's all his fault. If he hadn't failed to protect the Insect Queen, she wouldn't have been so eager to deny her identity.

If it weren't for his negligence, how could the tiny insect mother have been born with a disability!

It's all his fault!

Seeing the man on the verge of collapse, Shen Qingqing suddenly realized that communicating with people probably requires more than just a mouth; more importantly, it requires extensive cross-cultural knowledge and a calm mindset.

Otherwise, what if you encounter someone like him who won't listen to reason again? Will you just explode on the spot?

"No, no, no, you don't need to be so sad," Shen Qingqing leaned closer, raised her arm and shook her head, "Look, I'm still quite healthy."

After establishing a spiritual connection, the two could share each other's emotional fluctuations without words. She felt endless self-blame and regret, which is why she wanted to offer comfort.

Saenster felt even worse after hearing this. His queen insect, the darling of thousands of insectoids, how could he condescend to comfort someone else?

Even if that person is yourself, it won't work.

The mother insect is born noble.

"Lord Insect Mother..."

Seeing that he was about to use those complicated titles again, Shen Qingqing interrupted him: "Actually, I have a name. My name is Shen Qingqing. You can just call me by my name."

"How can that be done!"

Unexpectedly, the man reacted so strongly, as if he wanted to pick her up and announce to the whole world that she was some kind of rare species in the universe.

"You are the noble Queen of Insects. The entire Insect race exists for you. Your commands, your needs, your emotions are what the Insect race seeks throughout its life. How can we address you by your name directly!"

It seems this person is still a staunch supporter of the Insect Queen. Shen Qingqing smiled.

That smile touched his very heart.

So when Shen Qingqing asked him his name, he blurted out, "Sarnster."

"My name is Saenster, Queen Insect."

"Sarnst? What a nice name."

Upon hearing the insect queen's praise, something seemed to snap in Saenster's mind.

He seemed to understand why the Zerg were so inexplicably obsessed with the Zerg Queen.

Every move she made, every smile she gave, seemed to touch his heartstrings, releasing a silent allure.

So when Shen Qingqing asked if he had any fabric, he didn't hesitate to draw his sword with one hand, cleanly cut off his own tattered robe, and respectfully presented it to her.

Without Shen Qingqing having to say anything, she turned around and lowered her head, quietly waiting for the Insect Queen to change her clothes.

There were no clothes here, the only relatively soft thing was the long robe he was wearing on his back, but this somewhat rough fabric became the only thing that could cover Shen Qingqing's body.

Although she wasn't a professional seamstress, she was certainly a reasonably self-sufficient person.

At her request, the piece of fabric was torn in two, one long and one short, just right to serve as a bodice and a simple midi skirt.

So now, we've solved a quarter of the problems related to food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. The rest...

Shen Qingqing turned her gaze to the man in front of her who had his back to her.

He said his name was Tharnst, and that he was a key member of the main force in this queen relocation operation, as well as one of the commander-in-chief's most trusted confidants.

"Sarnst".

When he heard Shen Qingqing call him, Saenster instinctively wanted to turn around to respond, but then he remembered what the Insect Queen had said before, that he was not allowed to turn around without her order. So he forcibly controlled his instinct and remained kneeling with his back to her.

"What are your instructions, Queen Insect?"

“Turn around.”

"Yes."

When he turned around, he was stunned. He had never seen a female insectoid as beautiful as the insect queen, so stunning that she caught the eye of all insectoids.

Her skin was as white as snow, incomparably fair and delicate, with bright eyebrows and white teeth, and eyes as clear as autumn water. Even the mermaids living on the planet Hyliva did not have such smooth and delicate skin, and the slightly reddish ends of her hair adorning her chest added an indescribable beauty to her.

Despite having a head of beautiful, jet-black hair, the ends gradually turn red, creating a striking contrast between black and white. The tattered battle robes on her body not only didn't look out of place, but instead added a unique, battle-hardened beauty.

"Lord Insect Mother, so beautiful..."

The words that came out without thinking stunned the two insects.

Saenster was so angry with himself that he wanted to kill himself. How could he have dared to have designs on the Insect Queen and even make comments about her?

He deserves to die!

Shen Qingqing realized what was happening and laughed too, unable to stop.

"Thank you for your compliment, Saenster," Shen Qingqing said, managing to suppress a laugh, as she began to contemplate her next major life event.

"So, as a supporter of the Insect Queen, would you unconditionally support her choice?"

“Of course!” Saenster replied without hesitation, his eyes filled with determination. “Living for the Queen is our goal, and the Queen’s words will always be our highest command, etched into our very bones!”

Hearing this, Shen Qingqing understood, and then said with a smile, "Now, I'm hungry."
