After being transformed into a random male beetle

Inside the main hall, the female soldiers who had come to provide support were cleaning up the mess left by the uprising.

Before the insect king could speak to the queen, he saw her call out to an insect that was walking outside.

"Wait, Eureka."

The insect paused, startled.

The Insect King had heard of this name; he was a space pirate who caused the military a great deal of trouble.

The insect king turned his head to look at the female queen, who was clenching her hands tightly, her eyes misty with tears, looking as if she was too excited to speak.

Eureka turned around, and the Insect King looked at her familiar features and instantly understood something.

They were their two lost insect offspring, and they've grown so tall!

The Insect King's eyes were filled with countless emotions.

"Your Highness, I have safely returned you as promised. Now it's time for me to go home; there are insects waiting for me there."

Eureka left after speaking, and the Queen watched his retreating figure without saying a word to stop him.

They both knew about this, but hadn't found a suitable solution yet.

Seeing this, the insect king embraced the female queen, and often the silent action was more effective in stabilizing her restless heart.

The streetlights were on, and many police officers hurried past Eureka. No insect recognized Eureka; they were busy calming the frightened insect population.

Eureka used to wear a mask to appear as an insect, but some insects knew what he really looked like.

Eureka returned to Miller's house. Ever since killing the Blind Seaman on Black Star, Eureka had told Miller about the insect eggs, and unsurprisingly, Miller beat him up several times.

Fortunately, Miller doesn't seem to have any intention of aborting the eggs. Although the Empire doesn't allow pregnant female insects to abort their eggs, quite a few eggs are lost every year for various reasons.

When they sneaked into Miller's room, there was a sleeping figure on the bed.

Eureka quietly climbed into bed. He hadn't told Miller that he was a male insect yet, so Miller still thought he was a female insect and treated him more naturally than the other male insects.

Like the Insect King, Eureka was separated from the insects since childhood. In remote star systems, male insects are not treated with the same respect and importance as male insects on orderly planets like the Central Star.

Once a female insect in a remote galaxy discovers a male insect, she will capture the male and imprison him, helping the female to deplete her mental energy until she dies.

The old female insect that adopted him had poor eyesight and kept him as a female insect because there were many discarded female insect eggs.

Eureka was very clever from a young age, understanding the meaning behind the old female insect drawing patterns on his neck. Even his eye color was constantly concealed by the old female insect using potions.

Even before the old female insect left, she specifically instructed him not to reveal the male insect's identity or original appearance.

Later, Eureka joined a pirate crew for some reason, and then climbed his way up to become the leader of the pirate crew, where he encountered his nemesis Miller.

Eureka wanted Miller the first time she met him, so she would often go to Miller to seek his attention.

When Admiral Edvy got married last time, Miller was forced to drink the wine offered by the male insect at the banquet.

Seeing the male insect's lecherous eyes, Eureka, hiding in the shadows, wished she could smash its head in.

The male insect had drugged the wine, and Eureka hurriedly left with Miller before she could even beat him up.

What happened next was obvious. The next morning, he was kicked off the bed by Miller. Looking at the furious Miller on the bed, Eureka laughed. This was the first time he had ever seen Miller with such a vivid expression.

The result of laughing that day was that she was expelled. If Miller hadn't been physically disabled, Eureka thought she wouldn't have survived that day.

Unable to calm her anger, Eureka went to keep an eye on the male insect who had drugged Miller. Once he was out of sight of the female servants and slaves, she grabbed him and beat him up.

Unable to find any trace of it, the male insect was so frightened that it thought a god of insects had descended and stayed at home every day.

After learning that Miller had left Central Star, Eureka also left Central Star and returned to the space pirate group.

Eureka lay quietly next to Miller, her thoughts returning to their own, her gaze fixed on him.

A month later.

Xi Yun, who was at work, received news that Ai Dewei had suddenly fainted during a military exercise.

Startled, Xi Yun's heart stopped beating. He thought it was some kind of hidden injury he had sustained before, so he rushed to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the ward, I saw the doctor talking to Edvy by the bedside.

Upon seeing the insect arrive, the insect doctor gave the two of them some time, then left with a smile in his eyes.

"Congratulations," the doctor said to Xi Yun before leaving.

Xi Yun looked at the door closing, somewhat bewildered.

He turned and walked over to Edwin, who was already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, looking ready to leave at any moment.

"How is it? No problems, right?"

"It's nothing, I just have worm eggs."

"It's alright, it's just a worm egg..." Xi Yun stood up straight abruptly. "A worm egg?!?"

"Yes." Edvi felt a rare sense of unease seeing the male insect's doubtful expression. "Doesn't the male like it?"

"No," Xi Yun quickly denied. "I was just a little shocked to receive this news suddenly, it doesn't mean I dislike it."

After living a relaxed life for so long, I almost forgot that female insects in this world can carry eggs.

This unexpected surprise from Edwin left Xi Yun completely bewildered.

"Is there anything I should be careful about if my child is pregnant with worm eggs?"

How long does it take for an egg to develop gestation?

"..."

Xi Yun muttered to himself as he searched for information on the personal computer, his hands trembling slightly as he swiped across the screen.

Back at Qingshui Garden, Adeway was ordered to rest like a seriously ill patient and was not allowed to work late into the night.

"My lord, here comes Xiao Jin. You can sit down."

"Edwig, leave all this to me."

Scenes like this often played out at Qingshui Garden, making Adeway very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the worm egg doesn't need to be incubated for too long, otherwise he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

After the due date, Xi Yun and Adeway found a female insect egg with a round head and tail.

The Zerg do not suffer much during the process of laying their eggs; they recover quickly and are left without scars or physical damage from childbirth.

Xi Yun held her breath as she looked at the insect eggs placed in the insulated box, inwardly marveling at the incredible sight.

Edvy quietly watched the insect egg from the side, afraid that Xi Yun wouldn't like the female egg.

However, judging from the male's expression, it seems to like it.

The Zerg have advanced technology in this area. The female Zerg does not suffer much during the process of laying eggs. She recovers quickly and is not left with scars or physical damage from childbirth.

Back home, Xi Yundong looked around and even touched things, showing great interest in them.

That very night, Xi Yun decided to give the little bug a nickname: Da Bao.

When Edvi heard that the male insect had been given this nickname, he fell silent but did not deny it.

The insect eggs next to them rolled around in protest, but unfortunately Xi Yun took it as a sign of liking.

And so, our little Xilian happily received the nickname "Po Dan" (破蛋), which sounds like "breaking the egg" in Chinese.

On the day Xi Lian hatched her egg, many insects came to offer their congratulations.
