Long Ye took Xiao Bai with a chuckle. "Don't be afraid, the big boss asked me to take you to a place you'll definitely like. Please come with me now."

Looking at Long Ye's polite demeanor, Xiao Bai was overjoyed. Could this be the legendary surprise between human friends?!

Haha! I knew it. There must be an ulterior motive, wanting to take me there secretly. I knew it. How could a human resist my charm! I wonder what the gift is?

Exciting!

A girl's *tabi* socks?! Wouldn't that be too perverted! Hehe—

"Woof!—"

Where are we going?

Wait! Why am I barking like this! I am the noble Snow Wolf royalty!!

Long Ye wore a profound expression. "Don't be impatient. You'll know when we get there. It can solve a major problem of yours."

Is that so?

"Woof, woof, (I'll trust you this once for now.)"

"Woof, (Let me go, I can walk myself. Hurry up, human, don't delay the great Snow Wolf King from obtaining the girl… cough, obtaining the gift.)"

"So eager? Alright then, let's speed up."

…

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like this gift? We'll be at the palace soon. If you don't eat now, you'll feel insecure later, since this is a very dangerous job."

Lin Mo was a little puzzled. Why? She had specifically chosen the latest version of the parasite larvae for them to use. These were top-notch.

She even felt a little heartache about it.

"Your Majesty, aren't you just messing with your subordinates? You…" The knight couldn't go on. He couldn't think of any words to describe this thing that made people's skin crawl just by looking at it.

And it moves!

What the heck!

"Hmm, how could I be? I'm being very serious. Come on, hurry up, hula, hayagu." o((＞w＜))o

Even if you act cute, we won't eat this! Absolutely not!

This involves human instinct! Our heads can fall off! But we can't eat this!

"Alright then, I was just trying to play around, but if you're like this, then you've aroused my desire to control. Today, whether you want to or not, you have to eat it!"

This has nothing to do with what comes after. Today, the Empress just wants to see these guys eat the larvae!

What happened later?

According to the Empress's coachman's later recollections, it was the most terrifying scream he had ever heard in his life. Just hearing the sound was enough to conjure up all eighteen levels of hell, and he even vaguely saw his great-grandmother.

"Ugh!—"

Chewing on the knights, who were lying on the ground with pale faces, Lin Mo curled her lips in disdain. Is that all? The larvae are so cute, and you have such a big reaction.

"Alright, is that it? You can be called the kingdom's elite knights with that? Don't embarrass Hawke. Get up quickly."

She picked up her shoe and threw it with a slap, hitting the only knight who was still standing hard.

"Yes. You guys! Get up now!"

The ones lying on the ground rolled their eyes. Who are you trying to order around with the Empress's shoe?!

A real man lives in this world, how can he be content to be subservient!

Numb, why is my body moving on its own! Is it the thing I just ate?!

Damn it!

"Hmm, seems not bad, so that means your structures are actually similar? Since parasite larvae can be used… then the zerg virus can also be used!"

Good, it's possible!

Just thinking about it is exciting. In this world, battles are still fought with sheer numbers, and if I cause a virus outbreak, I can get a lot of soldiers at once! (✪▽✪)

"Alright, you can go now. Oh right, go find that old man Hawke and test your strength, then have Hawke report to me after he's done fighting you."

After saying that, she waved her hand impatiently, signaling the others to leave.

"Your Majesty, regarding Xiao Bai, do you want to go take a look?" Even a fool would know that the Empress would be very interested in this matter.

"Go! Don't forget, I'm a veterinarian!" o((＞w＜))o

"…" Is that so? Isn't that just a self-proclaimed title?

…

Ugh, where is this? Such a strange place. There wasn't a place like this before, right? The smell in this cave is so strange, a little unpleasant, but inexplicably addictive.

"Woof—"

(Human, where are you taking me? Tell me quickly, stop being so mysterious.)

"Don't worry, the Empress is already on her way. Go lie down over there first." He said, pointing to the very formal blue hospital bed.

"Woof—"

(Why?)ヽ(゜Q。)ノ？

"Why so much nonsense? Just go when I tell you to. If the Empress gets angry, she'll make hotpot!"

“…Woof (Hotpot!)”

"With dog meat filling."

"!—"

Oh damn it! You actually want to eat the great Snow Wolf royalty! You despicable guy.

Damn it, so what if I lie down! Who's afraid of who! Wait, what are these soft, black things? No, I can't stay here any longer, something's not right. That human's smile looks malicious!

〣(ºΔº)〣

What?!

I am the Snow Wolf King! How could this be! Masaka! When did I get trapped?

"Woof——~Woof~ (Help! Beautiful female humans, come and save me, your little darling is about to be captured! Help, they're killing dogs!)"

"Ugh——!" (You don't play by the rules! You actually gagged me! You despicable people!)

Long Ye was covered in black lines. Considering that this was the Empress's new favorite, there was nothing he could do, so he could only serve him first.

But, his good days are over, after all…

Just thinking about what the Empress was going to do next, plus the fact that this guy was still smiling so happily, Long Ye felt a surge of pity and amusement.

"Oh, Long Ye, how is the patient's condition?"

Lin Mo, in her limited veterinarian persona, seemed to be quite proper, at least she had put on all her clothes.

"Your Majesty, the patient's emotions are currently stable, but, this subordinate suggests that we start the excision immediately, otherwise there may be some sequelae."

Hmm? What are these people saying here, what sequelae, what excision, I don't understand a word of it. But when will I get my *tabi* socks!

"Alright then, let's not delay." Lin Mo looked at Xiao Bai with pity, then immediately covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud. No, I have to hold it in.

What is this human going to do? Are you going to give me a ready-made one? Okay, I don't want it if it's not the original scent! Wait, what are you doing with the knife! You don't need a knife to take off *tabi* socks, do you? Could it be the kind with straps?
