181: Chapter 181 We must arrange a marriage between the two clans as soon as possible!
When the insect-man Li Shunyao was brought before Xu Xuan, he shamelessly cried out the word "Grandpa."
Xu Xuan remained calm on the surface, but he almost burst out laughing inside.
Good, good, good. This korean knelt down quite decisively, didn't he?
With a look of contempt, Xu Xuan looked down at the kneeling Li Shunyao.
"Give me a reason not to kill you."
Li Shunyao immediately wailed, "Brother—oh no, Grandpa! I'm willing to be your obedient grandson; I'm willing to be loyal to you forever."
Xu Xuan's eyes turned cold. "Kill him."
"Wait! I... I'm still useful! I know something!"
"Speak. Don't waste everyone's time."
He looked at this collaborator with some impatience; first he joined the Ghost Race, and now he joined the Zerg Swarm.
Xu Xuan simply treated him as a source of amusement. After all, he was a textbook "slave of three surnames."
He had been a human ladder ranking lord, a Ghost Race lord, and a Zerg Swarm lord.
Wasn't he? A modern-day Lv Bu was nothing more than this. It perfectly matched the character of the koreans—fence-sitters.
The insect-man Li Shunyao lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "I... I know the location of the Swarm Queen."
"That's it? I know that too. It seems you're useless... however."
Xu Xuan was now toying with this human traitor in front of the whole world.
Just after issuing a death sentence to Li Shunyao, he changed his tone, giving Li Shunyao a glimmer of hope to live.
"I am a merciful person; I don't like killing indiscriminately."
"I'll give you a chance. Let the lords of the world vote on whether to kill you or not."
After saying that, Xu Xuan snapped his fingers and publicly asked the global lords during the live broadcast.
[Live Stream Room]
[Li Fei: He must be killed! It's because of people like this that there are more and more human traitors. If we don't kill him, how can we appease the public?]
[Jack: We must strike hard against traitors! He's no longer human; he's a bug. He deserves to die!]
[Sanada Manri: I'm quite well-read in history; I suggest subjecting him to the Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.]
[Zhou Wu: You Japanese guy, you know quite a lot, don't you?]
[Sanada Manri: I admire Great Xia culture. The current situation also shows that Great Xia is the vanguard; it should lead those of us in the Great Xia cultural circle forward!]
[Ruan Fuzhong: Right, right, right! We in Annan used to write in Hanzi too. We're also part of the Great Xia cultural circle. We're all on the same side!]
[Jung Jae-soo: I strongly agree. With so many alien races competing now, Great Xia is just like in ancient times, leading us to fight against them. It truly is the suzerain state!]
[Zhao Dezhu: Brothers, stop flattering. You're making me feel so embarrassed.]
[Wen Chengren: How does that saying go? 'After I enter the pass, there will naturally be great scholars to debate the scriptures for me.']
[Zhou Wu: Let's be more confident. Currently, among the top one hundred on the ladder ranking, there are 70 Great Xia Lords. Can't we stand a bit taller?]
Some people were still a bit lacking in confidence, even though their strength had reached this level.
The lords of Dongying, the koreans, and some surrounding countries had also gradually submitted.
When strength is achieved, status naturally follows.
Regardless of whether those people's words were sincere or not, did they even have a choice?
Who didn't understand whose fist was bigger on the Lord Continent now?
When Great Xia's strength reached its peak, the lords of these small countries would naturally behave with extreme docility.
No one was a fool; they knew who could be provoked and who could not.
It just seemed like the topic had strayed a bit.
Xu Xuan coughed dryly. "We are voting now on whether to keep Li Shunyao or not. Stop flattering me."
Watching these foreign lords within the Hanzi cultural circle flatter him incessantly, even Xu Xuan couldn't bear to watch.
Everyone snapped back to their senses and immediately began voting.
[Zhou Wu: Press 1 to execute Li Shunyao!!]
[Jung Jae-soo: 111. Someone like him who repeatedly provokes the Suzerain Lord should die early and be reincarnated sooner, smida.]
[Ruan Fuzhong: 1111!]
[Sanada Manri: 1! Execute him ruthlessly; make him commit seppuku.]
[Jack: Execution by shooting, by cannon, or by being torn apart by five horses—the more explosive, the better.]
[Leon: What is there to say about a traitor to humanity?]
Seeing this, Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Sigh, I really wanted to spare your life, but the global lords all say you should be executed."
"How about this? Since you like the Zerg Swarm so much, we'll use an insect execution."
The insect-man Li Shunyao froze. "No... please no."
The Insect Girl stepped out from behind Xu Xuan, a handful of insect eggs in her hand. Amidst Li Shunyao's screams, she stuffed the eggs into his mouth.
Those insect eggs looked like grains of rice, each one crystal clear.
If one didn't know better, they would have thought she was feeding Li Shunyao a handful of rice.
But that handful of rice-like things contained thousands of insect eggs.
After entering Li Shunyao's stomach, they began to hatch.
The Insect Girl said to the global audience, "These are Carnivorous Insects. They grow inside any living creature, hatching from the stomach, and then slowly hollowing out the internal organs until they have eaten the entire body."
"He will clearly feel the entire process. At the very last moment, the insects will enjoy his delicious brain."
Hearing the Insect Girl's description, Li Shunyao's face turned ashen, and he stopped struggling.
The global lords also shuddered and gasped.
This kind of execution sounded terrifying.
It felt as if insects were boring through one's own stomach, and eventually, those insects would crawl into the brain to feast...
Hiss.
Everyone got goosebumps; this was simply too horrifying.
This kind of punishment was likely something humanity had never witnessed until now.
It also served as a wake-up call to everyone: any traitor to the human race would be hunted down by the global lords!
Xu Xuan said indifferently, "I'm kind-hearted and can't bear to watch this. I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
Li Shunyao almost jumped up to curse. Wasn't it you, Xu Xuan, who ordered this?!
But he could no longer speak and could only watch helplessly as death approached.
Now, Li Shunyao could already feel insects wriggling in his head...
A terrifying, truly terrifying feeling—his brain was trembling!
Xu Xuan didn't watch any longer; the subsequent scenes would affect his appetite.
He turned and climbed the stairs, returning to the Floating Island.
Behind him, the Insect Girl followed like an obedient girl.
This also caused several other deities to notice something.
In the forest, the Elf Mother Goddess watched the live broadcast in a magic mirror, looking somewhat surprised.
"The one standing beside Xu Xuan is the Swarm Queen?"
"I didn't expect... he could actually tame the Swarm Queen so submissively. This human is very frightening."
A servant beside the Mother Goddess spoke up, "Mother Goddess, what do you mean?"
"I mean, let the Elf Queen go out and get active again to improve her relationship with Xu Xuan."
At the same time, the Ghost Emperor on the other side was also pondering something.
"It seems I must find a way to arrange a marriage with Xu Xuan, letting the Human Race and the Ghost Race join forces to balance the Zerg Swarm and the Giant Race."
Hearing this, the Ghost Empress suggested, "Let my sister go. If Xu Xuan takes a liking to her and achieves an intermarriage between our two races, it would be a good thing."
