D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon. The afternoon sun shone through the window and fell on me, making me feel warm and cozy.

Lu Yuan pulled Rhein to stay on the ground, their hands and feet intertwined, sometimes lying on top of each other, sometimes side by side; they would chat for a few minutes now and then, and kiss each other from time to time.

Lu Yuan unconsciously let out a comfortable sigh; this was truly the most relaxed and pleasant day he had experienced since his transmigration.

In the evening, Lu Yuan took Rhein out for a walk.

He used to never go out at night because he felt that the place he lived in was a desert, and at night the wind would blow coldly outside, making it terrifying and lonely, to the point that it could be used as a filming location for a horror movie.

Now, as he strolled with Rhine, the scenery outside transformed in Lu Yuan's eyes into a scene of cool moonlight, glittering stars, tranquil and profound beauty—a desolate yet magnificent vista.

When Lu Yuan was leaving, he wanted to put his arm around Rhine's shoulder, but as soon as he reached out, he realized that he was shorter than Rhine and it would be very difficult to put his arm around her. So he had to settle for second best and instead hold hands with his fingers intertwined. At the same time, he wondered if there was any possibility that he could grow taller.

The two insects arrived at the place where Rhine had danced for Lu Yuan the night before. Lu Yuan clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, clearing his throat a few times.

"Rhine, I like you."

Lu Yuan brought Rhein out because he wanted to make up for the confession he couldn't make yesterday.

After realizing last night that he had truly fallen for Rhine, he originally planned to confess to Rhine first, and then the two of them would slowly get to know each other and develop feelings for each other after Rhine accepted.

Once the relationship has developed to a certain point, then naturally proceed to... you know.

Unexpectedly, he lost his mind and was captivated by Rhine's dance, and ended up fighting Rhine several times in a daze.

Although the battle was over and they had done everything they should and shouldn't have done, Lu Yuan still felt that they couldn't skip any of the proper procedures for couples, and he couldn't let Rhine be with him in such an ambiguous way.

Although he had never been in a relationship, Lu Yuan had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. The normal process for couples to get along should be: flirting, confessing, establishing a relationship, officially dating, living together, and getting married.

He and Rhine were completely unconventional; their process was chaotic. They got married before they even knew each other, and went to bed before they even confirmed their feelings for each other. They skipped countless steps in between.

Lu Yuan needs to make up for all the processes he skipped.

Rhine did not respond immediately as Lu Yuan had expected. He blushed slightly and asked with a hint of doubt.

"My lord, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Because I want to make my feelings clear to you. I'm with you not because you're my queen, but because you're Rhine. Similarly, I want to know what you're thinking."

Two distinct blushes appeared on Rhine's face.

"I also like the powerful ruler, no, I also like you, Lu Yuan."

Although he already knew what answer Rhine would give him, hearing Rhine say that she liked him made Lu Yuan feel like fireworks had exploded in his heart.

The confession process is complete; now it's time for the next step.

Lu Yuan turned around and stood facing Rhine, taking Rhine's hand in his.

"Rhine, will you, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for sickness and for health, for good times and for bad, love me forever, stay with me forever, and be faithful to me always?"

Fearing that Rhein might not understand what was going on, Lu Yuan explained first.

"These are the vows that male and female insects say during their wedding ceremony in my hometown. Although I can't hold a wedding for us right now, I still want to tell you these words first."

"Wedding," Rhine said, emphasizing each word.

"Yes, a wedding. Although we've already registered our marriage, we definitely can't skip the wedding. After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event. But right now, we don't have enough money. Once we have enough, I'll definitely give you a wedding you'll never forget."

Lu Yuan spoke very seriously, so seriously that Rhein really wanted to believe him.

In the Zerg race, except for special reasons, very few male Zerg will hold a wedding for female Zerg.

Even if a male insect marries a female, it's nothing more than registering the marriage with her. The male insect would rather spend money on his own food, drink, and entertainment than on something as meaningless as a wedding.

Will Lu Yuan really do all that for him? Can he really start looking forward to a wedding of his own?

After a long silence, Rhine spoke again, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"The wedding vows just now meant that the two of us insects would stay together until we grow old."

"Yes, just the two of us, relying on each other for life."

Lu Yuan knew that it was a bit too fast for someone to talk about spending their life together after just confirming their feelings. It was hard to believe, considering that so many people who liked each other ended up breaking up later on.

But for some reason, Lu Yuan just felt that the one who could accompany him for life was Rhine, and it could only be Rhine.

"But Master, can you really do this? According to the laws of the Zerg, besides me, you can marry five female servants. In the future, you may encounter female Zergs who are better than me."

Rhine's voice was slightly cold, but Lu Yuan didn't notice.

"Even if I meet a better female insect, what does that have to do with me? I already have you."

Rhine gazed at Lu Yuan for a long time, as if trying to see into Lu Yuan's heart, and in Lu Yuan's eyes, there was nothing but sincerity.

After a long while, Rhine finally smiled, a smile more gentle than ever before.

He had hoped that Lu Yuan would always keep him in the most important place in his heart. Given the current state of the Zerg, he never expected that Lu Yuan would only have him as a female Zerg.

But now Lu Yuan has given him a big surprise, and he really likes this surprise.

"Lu Yuan, I hate it when people lie to me, so you absolutely have to keep your word."

"I won't lie to you. If you find out I've lied to you later, you can do whatever you want with me."

"I'd give you my life if it meant it."

"Can."

"Then it's settled. Despite the distance, I'm willing to spend my whole life with you, with only each other forever."

Lu Yuan and Rhine embraced each other. Where Lu Yuan couldn't see, Rhine smiled with unusual satisfaction, as if she were holding the dragon that possessed her most beloved treasure.

After finishing their task, the two insects went home.

While Rhine was taking a shower, Lu Yuan quickly took out the textbook that he had previously tossed under the mattress.

Yes, the textbooks weren't lost; they were even moved to a new location.

He quickly flipped to the picture of fairies fighting at the back and studied it diligently, with the same enthusiasm he had for a final exam.

He wasn't stupid. He eventually realized that Rhine had only pretended to be unwell during the day to save face for him. He still had to earn back his shattered pride through his own strength.

Lu Yuan vowed to study diligently by looking at the picture, and one day he would show his prowess and make Rhine lie in his arms the next day, whimpering.
