Chapter 283 Burying Himself
The other insects didn't understand, but Shen Qingqing did. She was stunned for a moment, not understanding whether the Red God was happy or angry.
The Crimson God laboriously pulled his head out of the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and a glimmer of light appeared in his calm and unrestrained red eyes.
Seemingly not expecting to return to his long-lost homeland in this way, Red God stood there looking down at his pale fingers.
After a long while, he bent down and dug out a few specks of soil from the ground beneath him with his bare hands, his eyes full of smiles.
The insects that witnessed this scene were somewhat puzzled.
Is Red God... laughing?
He was indeed laughing.
The corners of their mouths curved slightly, forming a gentle smile, and then, reflected in their eyes were things they would never forget in their lives.
A red worm crawled out of the soil in the hands of the Red God!
The insect seemed to have just hatched; its hard carapace, belonging to arthropods, had not yet fully hardened. Its slender, twisting limbs twitched and rolled in Red God's hand.
Red worms…aren’t those the red worms we saw in the mining area before?! Shen Qingqing immediately became alert, realizing that this so-called Red God in front of her might have ill intentions.
She had heard rumors about red worms while she was in the mining area, and there was also a totem of a similar creature behind the image of the bronze throne in the temple.
All signs indicate that the Red God's descent here was not merely for sightseeing.
It's impossible for all the gods to be so idle that they all descend to earth every day to have fun.
Following the gaze, Red God remained standing, seemingly unaware of the other insects present, playfully teasing the little creature in his hand and communicating with it in a language they couldn't understand.
The pronunciation sounds very similar to Latin, and Shen Qingqing wasn't sure if He came from another timeline of Earth. She listened intently to the Red God's pronunciation and made her guess.
After He had finished speaking, Shen Qingqing disregarded the obstacles and stepped forward to attempt a brief conversation.
Saenster, Andorra, and Ryan, who was observing from the shadows, were all waiting quietly.
If the Red God dares to threaten their insect queen, he can turn this red-haired guy into an egg in two seconds at most! Saenster gripped his long knife tightly.
Andor calmly activated the infrared scanner inside the church. He had personally designed and supervised the construction of the church, and no insect knew it better than him. Therefore, if the Red God showed any sign of disgust, he would teach Him a lesson.
Fortunately, the brief exchange yielded a positive answer. Although Shen Qingqing didn't understand what His words, "waking up to find herself crawling out of the soil here," meant or what kind of crisis was hidden within, it at least showed that the Red God had no intention of killing the Zerg for the time being.
So, disregarding all the insects' objections, she "invited" the Red God to reside in the temple.
Of course, she couldn't be without ulterior motives; she just wanted to take this opportunity to bring the insect and the god closer together, and incidentally keep an eye on them while she had nothing else to do.
However, the Crimson God doesn't seem to like the location of the temple.
That very day, He proposed that He choose His own room.
Since the Red God hadn't done anything wrong yet, Shen Qingqing let it be. However, it was visibly that the number of insect servants following the Red God had increased.
Before even convening a high-level meeting that evening, they received big news—
Red God has chosen his dream house.
"It's just that this location... is a bit... Queen Insect, you'll see when you go and see for yourself."
With an indescribable expression of forced effort, the insect servant gritted his teeth and managed to get the gist of his sentence out.
Shen Qingqing also found it strange. It's just choosing a room, why is she being so hesitant? Did the Goddess have her eye on the pigsty?
The insect servant still looked distressed, indicating that he was truly unable to express his feelings in words, and could only gesture repeatedly to show his shock and disbelief.
Okay, actually I don't understand what you're gesturing about... Shen Qingqing fell silent and temporarily announced that tonight's meeting was canceled.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind the insect servant:
"You can rest after you finish handing over your work. I'll give you two extra days off."
She felt that the insect servants might really need a rest. Although the insectoids were all tough and durable, working 24 hours a day was still quite stressful.
Yes, now the Temple is implementing an eight-hour shift system, which has reduced the pressure considerably.
Shen Qingqing did not ask the other insect servants to follow her, but chose to go to the Red God's new residence alone.
"It's the back garden," Shen Qingqing thought, looking at the location marked on the terminal, a sense of doubt creeping into her mind.
She remembered that there was no house built in the back garden; there were only a few low walls and a flower stand.
One of the low walls was even collapsed by Saenster sitting on it.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but laugh when she thought about the embarrassing situation they had during their last tryst.
However, she stopped and composed herself.
She's no longer the puppet she once was; she's the Queen of the Zerg, responsible for protecting the Zerg race. She can't be so casual anymore... Yes, she needs to hide her emotions and manage her facial expressions...
Shen Qingqing straightened her back and walked steadily forward.
Before even reaching the back garden, the air was filled with the rich scent of earth, mixed with the fresh fragrance of green leaves and plants, carried on the cool night breeze.
She sniffed, confirming that the smell was indeed coming from the garden, and Shen Qingqing's curiosity grew stronger.
Could it be that the God of Red built himself a nest out of roses?
So unconventional? Doesn't it hurt your skin?
Reason told her that it was best to call out to a few more insects to avoid any accidents; but curiosity led her forward, parting the lush vines and branches, and into the quiet and secluded sea of flowers.
Still serene and profound, it is as deep and quiet as an amethyst fallen into the blue stars. Half-open roses are adorned among the dark green leaves, just like the dazzling colors refracted by the light.
In the quiet night, only her breathing and heartbeat could be heard. Shen Qingqing unconsciously slowed her pace and walked under the silver flower trellis covered with lush rose vines, finally seeing her figure bathed in moonlight.
He had his back to her, his head exposed, his deep red hair bathed in the holy moonlight, which softened his already flamboyant and passionate red hair, adding a tranquil and lively quality to it.
Shen Qingqing stood in the flower bushes, wondering whether she should go forward and whether she would disturb the Red God's rest, when the Red God tilted its head.
She instinctively wanted to step forward and help straighten him, but as she walked closer and her gaze shifted downwards, Shen Qingqing immediately understood why the insect servant had such an indescribable expression on his face.
So, when the Red God sleeps, he buries himself in the ground.
Moreover, unlike when it usually buries itself, it peeks out to feel the warm greeting of nature.
