Who understands? The aloof female ruler always flirts without even realizing it.

Those cloudy eyes were fixed on Shen Yan's vulnerable profile, and what flickered in them was not entirely lust, but more of an excitement mixed with greed and conquest, like seeing rare prey.

In this lawless land, space pirates have long been accustomed to the law of the jungle. They usually satisfy their sexual needs by finding suitable females in nearby star systems.

As for the male insects? They exist only on the Imperial Capital Star, a distant existence that even these desperate outlaws can only dream of seeing from afar.

But what's in front of me...

In the remote and underdeveloped star field, Shi Yan had never seen such a beautiful "female insect." Like a treasure that had accidentally fallen into the dust, he couldn't help but want to possess and invade it.

Wow, to think that we could find such good stuff in such a remote and impoverished place.

He grinned, revealing a set of uneven, yellow teeth, his tone mocking.

"Sweetie, are you feeling unwell? Let your big brother take a look..."

His men behind him laughed and whistled, their eyes lingering on Shen Yan like a viscous liquid. Youchong couldn't wait to move forward and tighten the encirclement.

Suppressing the excruciating pain surging deep within his consciousness, Xiongzi's cold gaze swept over the approaching space pirates.

Those eyes, which were always clear and reflected starlight, were now frosty, yet their physiological moisture gave them a breathtakingly cold beauty.

"Get out of here."

The voice was not loud, and even trembled slightly due to discomfort.

This defiant stance undoubtedly provoked Shi Yan even more.

Instead of backing down, they found the thorny appearance even more appealing.

"Heh, you've got quite the temper! Let's see how fierce you really are!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Yan's large, calloused, and scarred hand suddenly reached out and roughly grabbed Shen Yan's clothes, trying to drag him toward the spaceship.

"Don't touch me!"

Shen Yan was naturally unwilling to surrender. Because his mental energy was out of control, he frantically punched the other party's muscular arm, trying to struggle.

"Sizzle—!"

The fabric ripped open, exposing the male's pale upper body almost entirely to the air.

On that slender waist, a beautiful and unique physiological structure comes into view.

That's... a tail hook.

The male insect's tail hook!

In an instant, the entire square fell into a deathly silence.

The sneer on his face froze completely, and Shi Yan's pupils contracted sharply in utter shock. The space pirates behind him also seemed to have been grabbed by the neck at the same time, and all their laughter stopped abruptly.

"Male...male insect..."

Shi Yan's voice was dry, like sandpaper rubbing, filled with unbelievable ecstasy and trembling.

"Hahahaha! By the Insect God! It's a male insect! A live male insect!"

After a brief silence, the space pirates erupted in deafening cheers:

"Boss! We've struck gold!"

"Take it back!"

"Our base is finally going to have newborn insectoid larvae!"

At this moment, all the space pirates looked at Shen Yan differently.

It was no longer a desire for a beautiful female insect, but a fervor for a male, a yearning for the continuation of the species, and an ecstatic joy at changing one's fate.

Trembling with excitement, Shi Yan took a cautious step forward, his voice distorted with elation:

"Your Excellency..."

"Come back to base with us, everyone will take good care of you."

The man clutched his torn clothes tightly, feeling extremely embarrassed, his body trembling violently with anger and fear.

Looking at this group of fanatical space pirates, Shen Yan finally realized that his situation was far more terrifying than he had imagined. They not only wanted to possess his body, but also wanted to use him as a tool for procreation.

"Don't even think about it..."

He squeezed out those words through clenched teeth, his voice weak yet resolute.

Shi Yan's feigned smile grew increasingly sinister.

"That's probably not up to you."

"Your Excellency, you will become the hope for the continuation of our base; this is an unparalleled honor."

Because of the intense emotional fluctuations, the restless power in Shen Yan's mind began to surge uncontrollably.

The intense pain almost made him lose his balance, and his vision blurred. Instinctively, he grabbed the metal lamppost behind him, his fingertips turning white from the force.

"Don't touch me..." she managed to utter, her voice trembling as if on the verge of collapse.

Upon seeing this, a hint of wariness flashed in Shi Yan's eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by fervent emotion. He gave a wink to his men behind him, and several space pirates immediately understood, slowly approaching from different directions.

"You'd better stop struggling."

The voice carried a false concern.

"We won't hurt you, we just want to invite you to our home."

Shen Yan bit her lower lip, and tasted the blood on her tongue.

The excruciating pain in his mind grew stronger and stronger, as if something was frantically ramming against its restraints. He could feel his mental energy spiraling out of control, like a volcano about to erupt.

"I told you... don't touch me!!"

The male suddenly raised his head, a strange golden light flashing in his eyes.

The first space pirate to approach suddenly screamed in agony, clutching his head and collapsing to his knees. Before the other space pirates could react, they saw the insect writhing on the ground in pain, emitting mournful howls.

Shi Yan's expression suddenly changed: "What's going on?"

"Boss, his... his mental strength..."

Even Shen Yan himself was stunned.

I never expected that my out-of-control mental energy would have such an effect.

But soon, more pain swept over him, and he felt his consciousness being torn apart.

"Grab him! Quick!" Shi Yan made a decisive move and stepped forward himself.

But the instant he reached out, an invisible force erupted from the male. Several of the nearest space pirates were blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

Shi Yan staggered back a few steps, his face filled with shock. He never expected that this seemingly weak male insect would possess such powerful mental strength.

This person is at least S-rank! And is currently in a weakened state, without any guards by their side.

This is truly a stroke of luck!

Shen Yan knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

That last strike had almost exhausted all his strength, yet the excruciating pain in his mind's sea of ​​consciousness showed no sign of lessening. He could feel his consciousness gradually fading.

Seeing his weakness, Shi Yan stepped forward again.

"Sir, you understand, don't you? Such resistance is futile."

"Come back with us, and you will receive the best care. You can choose any of the female insects in the entire base. I guarantee this in the name of the leader of the space pirate group."

"And then use them as your breeding tools?" the male interrupted him coldly.

The female insect's facial muscles twitched, and she revealed a cruel smile: "In this star field, strength is the only truth."

"It's clearly a mutually beneficial arrangement; we're having your babies, you should be happy."

Shen Yan gritted his teeth, but the other party had already lost patience.

Save your breath.

Shi Yan moved with lightning speed, delivering a precise chop to the back of his neck.

The last thing Xiongzi saw was the other person's scarred face and the chilling possessiveness that shone in his murky eyes.

"Kalandal..."

...Help me.

He silently called out that name in his heart, and finally lost consciousness completely.

"Tie him up and take him away."

The two space pirates chuckled and deftly tied up the male insect with specially made ropes, asking, "Boss, shall we take him to your room?"
