The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 94 - 10 What Is This, Take a Taste

Thud, thud, thud.

After a series of knocks, a gentle female voice came from outside the door.

"Miss Bai, your lunch is here."

Bai Yi, limp on the bed, turned to look at the wall clock; the hands were already pointing at 11 o’clock.

"Ah! Come in!"

With a weak call, Bai Yi forcefully threw off the blanket and struggled to get up.

"Damn it, I didn’t expect this exhaustion effect to be so effective, directly cutting my Strength and Constitution attributes in half..."

Although the attributes after being halved were still slightly stronger than before she became a Lord, the sudden feeling of weakness made Bai Yi very uncomfortable, which is why she was still lying in bed until now.

The leftover "Buddha Jumps Wall" on the table had already been put away by Ju, and besides a little residue left in the pot, there was nothing unusual.

The maid received permission, pushed open the double wooden doors, and a few maids dressed in garments resembling Hanfu took small steps towards the dining table to carry away the leftovers from last night.

After once again cleaning the table, they entered again, this time with dishes, one exquisite plate after another.

Once everything was done, one of the maids came to Bai Yi and performed a courtesy:

"Miss Bai, I am Niaoniao, the maid assigned to take care of you; I will be by your side from now on.

Niaoniao will wait outside the door; if Miss Bai has any instructions, simply call for Niaoniao."

Bai Yi tried hard to make herself look less tired and raised her head to observe the maid.

Her dress was made of snow-white chiffon material but different from the Hanfu; the maid’s dress only reached down to her calf, and the sleeves were also designed to be narrow.

It was more suitable for movement and less likely to cause tripping; moreover, the fabric also looked more plentiful, without any revealing feel.

Recalling a few historical TV dramas she had seen, she remembered how the nobles instructed their maids.

"Hmm, then you may leave for now..."

"Yes, Niaoniao will take her leave."

Walking to the door, she turned around, exited the room, and closed the door behind her; Bai Yi then collapsed weakly.

It was indeed still hard to get used to.

Although this was exactly the life she once desired, where she was taken care of all the time.

After rubbing her face a couple of times, Bai Yi recalled the incomplete task of the last evening’s Fei Wen.

Connecting to the familiar yet somewhat strange Swarm Consciousness, she gathered the Fei Wen hiding in every corner of the room into her palm and launched her superpower.

[Current genetic match with the target is good, fusion requires 400 Magic Power Value, do you wish to proceed with Fusion?]

[Current genetic match with the target is good, fusion requires 500 Magic Power Value, do you wish to proceed with Fusion?]

[Genetic Fusion complete, congratulations on creating a new species: Unnamed (Tier 1/Gold)]

After the fusion of the two genes, Bai Yi felt a change in senses within the Swarm Consciousness, a special "vision" emerged within the network.

But since the Fei Wen were all gathered together, this new vision range was not very large.

"What is this? It looks like those Big Bees!"

Suddenly, the space above her head seemed pressured, and an invisible barrier arose— Bai Yi saw an orange cat’s paw reaching down, seemingly sweeping through, plucked a Fei Wen from a great distance away from her hand.

"This is a new Insect Swarm I created with my superpower. After arriving here, the needle erosion insects were too large of a target, so I made these smaller ones.

I named them Fei Wen; they can undertake reconnaissance duties.

By the way, how are things on their side?"

Ju, looking very casual, nodded as if understanding, and let go of the Fei Wen in its paw.

"Everything is going smoothly on their side, the Insect Swarm has propagated its first batch; they let the cat tell you, they are executing the plan, you can rest assured."

"That’s good, I was worried they would encounter some troubles.

Next time you go there, tell them if they need it I can provide some enhancements for the Insect Swarm, and the scale you have can also be handed to them to manage."

"Don’t worry, meow~"

Struggling to get up from the bed, Bai Yi took out a piece of meat from the icebox, allowing the Fei Wen to fill up with eggs inside.

After that, Bai Yi rummaged through her wardrobe to find a dress to change into, and hung up her tired act as she walked to the window, pretending to have just woken up, she began opening the tightly closed windows one by one.

Stretching leisurely in front of the second window, she paused for a moment as if to admire the scenery of the Imperial Palace.

As she did, the Fei Wen took the opportunity to fly out one by one, hiding among the palace’s flora to find their respective breeding spots.

Given the size of the Fei Wen, it was hard to spot them even when standing close, let alone from such a distance. Bai Yi deliberately drew attention to herself, letting the Fei Wen fly out from another window.

Feeling the Fei Wen dispersing, Bai Yi and Ju began to enjoy their lunch.

After resting for a while post-lunch, once the effect of fatigue faded, Bai Yi had already used the Fei Wen to explore the surrounding terrain roughly and noticed several covert Agents in black.

However, Bai Yi did not purposely evade them; her persona was simply that of a student who had achieved in biology.

Being suddenly summoned by the Royal family, it was normal to feel both nervous and relaxed.

But she certainly could not exhibit the anti-reconnaissance awareness of an agent.

Bai Yi stayed calm in her room, intentionally sitting in a spot within surveillance reach, occasionally flipping through the cookbooks on the cabinet until the maid’s voice rang again.

"Miss Bai, Agent Zhu, Agent Zhu is here."

"Okay, just a moment, I’m coming out now!"

Bai Yi shouted, pulling the cookbook from the orange cat’s paws, picking up the cat to form as her hat and pulled open the wooden door.

"I’m ready! Let’s go!"

......

A few minutes later, three figures appeared again in front of the room door, dressed in uniforms entirely black, with no conspicuous insignias.

Upon opening the wooden door, the leader looked around and said first:

"Split up and inspect, you all know the sensitivities."

"Understood," came two responses.

The leading black-clad person stepped in first, pulling out a pair of thick rubber gloves from his pocket and observed Bai Yi’s leftover food by the dining table, taking out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket to start recording.

"Fish consumed in larger amounts, dislikes onions and ginger, less consumption of vegetables, cannot exclude it’s due to preference..."

As the black-clad man was jotting down his observations, suddenly, a thud was heard from the side.

His colleague inspecting the stove collapsed on the floor, eyes rolling back, right hand straining to point toward the direction of the pot, lips moving up and down, but ultimately he twisted his head, completely losing consciousness.

The black-clad man and his remaining partner’s first reaction was an attack; they quickly dropped the notebook and drew a revolver from inside their clothes, remaining cautious.

But soon he realized, within the Imperial Palace how could somebody infiltrate undetected.

Instructing his remaining partner to stay cautious, he carefully examined the collapsed colleague.

Despite his [student] abilities, he couldn’t spot any obvious wounds, until he noticed the ink color on the right-hand glove, recalling what his partner had pointed towards before collapsing.

Was there something amiss with the stove?

He cautiously approached, scrutinizing the area.

Other than the remnants in the pot and the incompletely closed freezer lid, there seemed nothing unusual.

But what exactly had been cooked in the pot?

It smelled very tempting...

Unconsciously, he dipped his finger into the pot, smearing a bit of the dark substance to taste and analyze the ingredients.

But the moment the liquid on his finger touched his tongue, he regretted it.

In that instant, he felt as if time stretched indefinitely, the abnormal sting spreading through his limbs; he realized what his colleague had experienced before collapsing.

But now, he only wanted to warn his remaining partner before collapsing himself, his right hand straining to point at the pot, his mouth mumbling indistinct syllables.

Perhaps it was the slight enhancement he got as a Transcendent, he still retained the last bit of consciousness before fainting.

He saw his last partner perform a quick check on him, also noticing the direction he pointed.

Likewise attracted by the peculiar scent from the pot.

Similarly, dipped a finger, tasted it.

His hanging heart finally died.
