Chapter 248 I am above him
Chapter 248 I am above him
Zephir stood in the center of the trial, and all the insects looked at him, mocking and ridiculing his unbearableness and embarrassment. Only the male insect sitting in the back looked at the trial stand with a mocking expression.
Is it reasonable to have the wings, which are regarded as life by female insects, removed just for escaping from an engagement or refusing to enter into a contract that is not to your liking?
This is certainly not reasonable.
For thousands of years, female insects have lived under the oppression of male insects. If they make a small mistake without paying attention, they will have to pay a heavy price. Verbal abuse, whipping, and beatings are commonplace and not surprising.
But the female insect forgot that being accustomed to something does not mean it is right.
Now, Bai Yuning sat in the courtroom and asked this question in a light tone. His voice was not loud, but it was deafening enough. Zephir had his back to him and could not see his dark eyes, but it was easy to imagine his careless and lazy look.
The Imperial Star is not like Daskan, it is not a place where you can do whatever you want.
Zephir thought he should warn the male insect to leave and avoid trouble, but he remained frozen in place, unable to react. The male insect was mad, and he was probably not sane either.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always followed the rules and is the best at everything he does.
His teacher told him that he should always be vigilant, so no matter what he does, he will calculate every step carefully to avoid being passive; his father, who is in a higher position, told him that lying dormant is also a means to achieve one's goals, so he is patient and resolute, taking every step carefully, and never caring about short-term success or failure or gains or losses.
He is just a cold machine, more rational than emotional, and he calculates his own life precisely.
Exactly.
But now, Zephir's rationality has stagnated.
A problem arose in the machine that had been operating flawlessly and precisely for many years. The part called "rationality" was stuck and could no longer transmit information and instructions to the outside world.
He agreed with what the male insect said, and it was what he wanted to say. He couldn't tell whether he was willful or wanted to use the male insect's mouth to tear apart the hypocritical fig leaf of the Zerg and make the injustice known to the public.
In short, he could not refute the male insect's words, nor could he speak to stop the male insect's behavior.
Because this is the truth.
The back seat was empty, with only Bai Yuning sitting there. He tilted his head slightly, a nonchalant smile playing at the corner of his mouth, a hint of sarcasm, a hint of ridicule. For a moment, the courtroom fell silent.
“Is this inequality of crime really justified?”
Bai Yuning looked at the solemn and holy judge on the stand, with a hint of sarcasm in his black eyes. It was obvious that the other party had encountered such a situation for the first time and didn't know how to react.
Male insects are precious, so this is a common practice above all else. But now that it has been asked so bluntly, it's unbearable.
The judge frowned and said, "Your Excellency, the Male Insect Protection Act clearly stipulates that the safety and health of male insects must be the top priority. His Highness Zephir's act of running away from his marriage has indeed caused serious trouble to Your Excellency, and he has incited other female insects to harm male insects."
Bai Yuning chuckled, interrupting the dull retelling. "Let me ask you, is this reasonable? As an adult female insect, the Eighth Prince has the right to refuse the engagement with Lord Fel. How can exercising his rights reasonably become grounds for trial? Does he have to accept any male insect's proposal?"
"Your Honor, the Eighth Prince is not a cabbage in the vegetable market that can be picked and chosen by any male insect and 'bought'."
Bai Yuning's words were sarcastic, and he was just short of reporting the Xingmin number of "any random male insect".
Although Fair was not smart, he could still hear the sarcasm more or less. He wanted to stand up and scold this male insect who was making unreasonable arguments, but was stopped by his father, Duke Alvin.
Duke Alvin was clearly different from the young and impetuous Fell. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "Sir, male and female insects are different."
The implication is that male insects should not be offended, and Zephir's behavior of abandoning the future male lord at the engagement party is a heinous crime and he should be punished.
"You mean, male insects are the rules?"
Duke Alvin snorted softly but did not deny it.
Bai Yuning was not annoyed. He slowly stood up and walked towards the female insect in the center of the trial at a leisurely pace. A strong mental force quietly lingered in the air, tightly suppressing the guards who wanted to move forward and the male insects who were ready to move.
He spoke slowly, his voice cool and lazy.
"Then it doesn't matter if I kill Mr. Feier here today, right?" Bai Yuning's fingers moved, and his mental power suddenly locked onto Feier's neck. He smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "After all, male insects are above the rules, and as an S-level male insect, I am above him."
Since reasoning is unclear, then let's use the other party's rules. Bai Yuning thought, isn't it true that male insects are respected? Isn't it true that rank is supreme? Today, he wants this male insect status and rank to crush that stinky bug Alvin.
If they gave in and understood what he said, he would take the female insect away with a clear conscience; if they did not give in and did not understand what he said, he would kill the group of insects and then take the female insect away with a clear conscience.
Because of the sudden confinement, Feier couldn't breathe for a moment and his eyes were ferocious.
There was panic and a sense of unrest in the hall.
But they will soon find that they have been surrounded by a powerful mental force, and even the powerful female insect guards are restrained in place and cannot move easily.
"Damn it...quickly, let me go..."
"You stinky, stinky bug..."
Feier's voice was intermittent, his face flushed, and he seemed to be suffocating. It was obvious that Bai Yuning was not joking.
Many dignitaries attended the trial of the royal family members. They were sharp-eyed and quick to grasp the key words in Bai Yuning's words - S-level male insect.
A new S-rank male insect? !
"You rude and impolite bug, what you're saying is pure nonsense. Do you really think an S-rank male bug is some kind of cabbage? If you say it is, then it is! Don't try to scare bugs with this!"
"What are you doing, you lowly bitches?! Why don't you stop him?!"
Fair's breathing became more and more rapid. Duke Alvin cried out in anger and angrily gave orders to the guards to kick Bai Yuning out.
Bai Yuning just smiled, his deep, dark eyes flashing with a hint of ambiguous interest.
He thought that these insects had bumped into him on their own.
Vice President Fred, who had been left behind by an S-rank male insect and had hurried to the court, saw His Majesty, whom he had been thinking about, killing people as soon as he entered the courtroom. His heart was finally at peace.
"Your Majesty! Please stop!"
