StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 247 The Benevolent Assistant

Shen Qingqing desperately grabbed Ge Yuan's hand from behind, her fingers gripping Ge Yuan's wrist tightly until her knuckles turned white.

She was afraid that if she let go, Ge Yuan would pounce on the unsuspecting male like a wild beast that had lost control.

【Ge Yuan, calm down, calm down!】

Shen Qingqing's voice was extremely low and trembling, as if she was trying her best to suppress some kind of emotion that was about to erupt.

[I can't stay calm! That damned Andor actually slandered me like this behind my back, I'm going to sue him for defamation!] Ge Yuan's voice was squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with a furious rage.

Her gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing straight at the still-talking male, as if she wanted to cut the governor he was talking about into a thousand pieces through him.

With a forced smile, Ge Yuan, her anger palpable, spoke through her mask, her voice carrying a deliberately suppressed calm.

"What else? Is that all there is to it? Kidnapping the queen insect is a serious crime."

Her tone was light and casual, as if she were just chatting.

But Shen Qingqing could feel that the muscles in her wrist were taut like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to snap at any moment.

“Of course.” The male, who was already dancing on the edge of a knife, was completely unaware of his predicament. Instead, he thought the tall female in front of him was quite shrewd, so he opened his mouth and delivered a heavy blow.

“Abducting the insect queen is indeed a serious crime, but the merciful Andoran aide was too soft-hearted... so he simply sent the female to the mining area to do hard labor to atone for the crime.”

The male added with admiration and respect, "Lord Andor is truly kind. I have never seen such a kind and respectable advisor."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ge Yuan was furious, her eyes blazing with rage, but she still managed to control her expression and suppress her anger.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a cold smile, but his eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze insects into ice cubes.

"I really look forward to meeting this 'benevolent' governor!"

The voice was as soft as a feather, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down Shen Qingqing's spine.

She always felt that Ge Yuan wouldn't let Andorra off so easily.

Although there was actually no deep-seated hatred between them.

But Ge Yuan couldn't stand other insects slandering her like that.

[Andorra, is it? A merciful governor, is it? Fine, you just wait!]

Ge Yuan made a fierce vow in her heart that she would personally beat Andor into kowtowing and admitting her mistake.

otherwise……

Before Ge Yuan could swear a solemn oath, Shen Qingqing grabbed Ge Yuan and ran away in a flash.

The vows that hadn't yet been spoken were all swallowed back down their throats.

The drill had cooled down, and after saying goodbye to the clueless male insect, Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan walked straight into another passage.

"Qingqing, did you do this on purpose?" Ge Yuan looked at Shen Qingqing and the more she looked, the more she felt that she did it intentionally.

“You clearly heard the oath I made in my heart, yet you still interrupted me.”

Ge Yuan's voice was filled with grievance and displeasure, and even had a hint of gossip.

"Speaking of which, you wouldn't... "

She deliberately drew out her voice, her pink eyes darting around. Suddenly, she covered her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in them.

"Could it be that he likes Andorra?"

"Let me tell you, that despicable little bug is incredibly cunning. Qingqing, just play around with him, but whatever you do, don't fall for him!"

Ge Yuan, in his capacity as a former insect, imparted his secrets to Shen Qingqing, his words filled with emotion.

"Back in the day, I was a top contender among countless male insects! Those male insects had far more ways to compete than females, and of course, they were much more elaborate... cough cough." After coughing twice, Ge Yuan steered the conversation back on track.

"You wouldn't actually be falling for him, would you?"

She cautiously began to speak.

Shen Qingqing remained silent, simply continuing to walk forward.

"If, I mean if, you fall for him, I..." After thinking for a moment, he felt that Qingqing's future happiness was more important.

Ultimately, the happiness of one's allies takes precedence in one's mind.

As if she had made up her mind, Ge Yuan gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words, "If you really fall for that guy... that male, I might not be so indifferent to the past!"

Shen Qingqing suddenly stopped, turned her back to Ge Yuan, and remained silent.

Ge Yuan had already decided what kind of gift she should give when the two of them got married.

Seeing Shen Qingqing suddenly stop, Ge Yuan assumed that Shen Qingqing had fallen deeply in love and was heartbroken, but still decided to "sacrifice family for the greater good".

"Qingqing..."

"Ge Yuan..."

Both insects opened their mouths at the same time.

They looked at each other and then spoke.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

They spoke at the same time again.

“Sigh,” Shen Qingqing sighed helplessly, “Ge Yuan, what are you thinking about? How could I possibly like him?”

"Huh? Really?"

Ge Yuan asked, flustered, shocked, and gossipy, "Then who do you like?"

Shen Qingqing: ...

"Anyway, it's not Andorra."

Andorra's heart clenched as he listened through the terminal.

A tingling, numb, and painful sensation, like an electric shock, traveled from my heart to every part of my body.

It brings unspeakable loneliness and suffering.

On the other end, Andorra opened his mouth, but then hesitated to speak.

Suddenly, he remembered that Shen Qingqing was not here; she was in the Third Mining Area.

His expression suddenly relaxed, then turned to one of entanglement and distress.

Soft murmurs escaped from between his lips, carrying a lingering tenderness:

"Qingqing... my queen insect, my... ruler..."

Unaware that she was being monitored, Shen Qingqing was still struggling to explain to Ge Yuan.

“I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards Andorra! I have always considered him a friend.”

"Oh? Is that so?" Ge Yuan sneered twice, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness as she looked at Shen Qingqing. "He's probably overjoyed that you have designs on him. How could you use such words to describe yourself?"

"Huh?" Shen Qingqing didn't understand what Ge Yuan meant.

“That doesn’t mean you have any improper thoughts about him,” Ge Yuan corrected her, and then placed her arm on the helmet on her head. “That’s called Qingqing’s affection and favor towards the male insect.”

Then she curled her lip and said, "What kind of insect queen talks about herself like that?"

Shen Qingqing mimicked her and pouted, "I was just worried that the rumors from the outside world would have a bad influence on Andorra. I was concerned about his reputation."

"Hmph, if you were truly worried about his reputation, you should have added him to your harem the moment the temple was built. That would be what it means to care about his reputation. You have no idea how many Zerg are on the forums..."

Ge Yuan paused as she spoke.

This piqued Shen Qingqing's curiosity, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Ge Yuan didn't want to say anything good about Andor.
