midnight.

Artoris eventually put on the pajamas that Xie Bai had given her.

Smelling the faint fragrance lingering on it, Atoris gradually relaxed.

The south wall of the room is a floor-to-ceiling window, which allows the moonlight to stream into the room.

As Artoris gazed at the moon tonight, his mind still replaying the events of the day.

"No... I still can't sleep..."

When Atorius tried to sleep for the first time, he felt that something was wrong with him.

After thinking it over, it was probably the insect egg that Xie Bai had asked her to protect that was causing her some concern.

So she went back to where she had stored the insect egg and moved it to her room to put it away again.

As Atoris lay on his side looking at the pure white insect egg, he tried poking it a few times.

It's soft and even a little squishy.

"What exactly is the purpose of this thing that makes my lord so concerned? I can't figure it out..."

Just as Artoris was about to spend the night watching it, she suddenly realized that the spot she had just poked wouldn't spring back.

"Ugh...!"

She suddenly realized that something terrible was going to happen.

Just as Artoris was about to get up to check if something had happened to the egg, she noticed that something seemed to be pushing against the egg's shell from the inside.

"This is……"

Ready to hatch?

Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean things are in even worse shape?!

Realizing that Xie Bai had told him his insect eggs were hatching, Atoris suddenly felt a little lost.

What should she do at this time?

I don't know, I have absolutely no idea.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she had absolutely no experience with it!

Just as Atoris was wondering what to do, she suddenly saw a small hand puncture the insect egg and emerge from it.

"Um?"

Atoris looked at the small hand with a puzzled expression.

The next second, another small hand reached out from inside and began to peel away the collapsed outer skin of the insect eggs.

A moment later, a white-haired loli covered in slime appeared in front of Atoris.

It's tiny, probably no more than 1.2 meters tall.

What caught Atoris's attention most were her red eyes.

Compared to Xie Bai's slightly lighter crimson, the other person's was much brighter red.

Furthermore, there are two small, bright red eyes on the forehead and cheeks, like bean eyebrows and blush.

This scene reminded Artoris of a spider's primary and secondary eyes, but the white-haired loli in front of him only had six eyes.

"..."

Artoris remained silent for a moment.

The white-haired loli in front of me seems to be a Zergling?

Uh... no, the enemy has already hatched from the eggs, so it must be the Zerg.

But the problem is, which Zergling looks like a human?! And one that's so cute...

Just as Atoris was considering whether to call Xie Bai over now, the other party suddenly crawled out of the insect egg, dragging the slime on his body, and sniffed at her.

"My mother's scent..."

A soft, childlike voice suddenly came from her mouth.

The other person looked up at Atoris, a hint of confusion flashing in their crimson eyes.

"But you're not Mom, you are...you are..."

The white-haired loli's mind went blank.

She couldn't understand why Atoris had a familiar aura about him, yet he wasn't someone she knew.

Before she could even understand Artoris's identity, a drop of viscous fluid suddenly dripped from her collarbone onto Artoris's pajamas.

"Ugh...!"

Atoris quickly swatted away the drop of slime, but it was too late.

The white nightgown that Xie Bai had given her, which still carried his scent, was now dirty.

If you wash it, it's very likely that you'll wash away the scent as well.

Atorist was immediately caught in a dilemma.

She looked at the white-haired little girl who still didn't know what she had done, and anger surged within her.

She had just thought the other person was quite cute, but now she realized how cute they weren't at all!

It's dirty and sticky, not cute at all!

Just as Artoris clenched her fist, Xie Bai's parting words suddenly came to mind.

"never mind…"

Atoris took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse.

She looked up at the white-haired girl and said in an unhappy tone.

"You're all dirty and sticky, not clean at all. Come with me, I'll take you to wash up."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired loli tilted her head in confusion.

Although she didn't quite understand what Atoris meant, she felt that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so she followed him.

Upon arriving at the room's ensuite bathroom, Atoris changed back into her previous battle dress, which was impervious to any contamination, and removed her armor.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to wash the white pajamas.

Meanwhile, the white-haired girl was taking a shower on the other side.

As Atoris helped her rub off the sticky substance, he instructed her not to lick the soap bubbles.

Finally, a fresh, white-haired little girl, steaming hot, successfully emerged from her bath.

Then Atoris decided to comb her hair, but found a white tuft of hair on the top of her head that she couldn't comb down no matter what she did.

Atoris combed it vigorously, and the stray hair actually bounced back.

"yeah…?"

She suddenly felt as if she had been looked down upon.

Just as she was about to spend the night dealing with this tuft of hair, the door to her room was suddenly pushed open.

"Atoris, I've come to see you. By now, that insect egg should have hatched, right?"

Xie Bai appeared in front of Atoris carrying a bag, just in time to see her combing the white-haired loli's hair.

At this moment, the white-haired loli was still naked, with only her long, loose hair covering some of her vital parts.

Upon seeing Xie Bai arrive, the white-haired loli's six eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly ran away from Atoris's arms, rushing directly to Xie Bai.

"Mmm! It's Mom's scent, so strong, it really is Mom!"

Atoris, holding a comb in one hand, was stunned as he watched the white-haired loli suddenly run away.

"Hey wait a minute, you're not dressed yet!"

……

Five minutes later.

The white-haired loli, dressed in the clothes Xie Bai had brought, sat quietly in her lap.

Atoris looked at the white-haired loli who bore a striking resemblance to Xie Bai and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"So this is our lord's... uh, child?"

When Atoris asked him a question, Xie Bai shook his head.

"Strictly speaking, it can't be considered that, since there's no blood relation between us. In the end, she's just an insect queen that I've modified."

"The Insect King...?"

Atoris looked down at the innocent-looking white-haired loli.

"So...what's her name?"

"A name?"

Xie Bai tugged at the stray hair while pondering.

"I haven't decided yet, but since she's already calling me 'Mom,' let's take the same surname."

As he spoke, Xie Bai looked down at the white-haired loli's six eyes, which resembled those of a spider.

"Hmm... how about we name her Xie Sha?"
