[Zerg] After being reborn as a male Zergling, he refused to be a kept man.

Fei felt guilty and, despite being hit and scolded, licked her torn lip and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

The noble male insect was furious and, still not satisfied, reached out to strike again, but was stopped.

Zhuang Nian stepped in front of Fei, grabbed the noble male insect's wrist, stared at him for two seconds, and then pushed him back a step with a force that was neither too strong nor too weak, and said in a deep voice, "That's enough."

He was very tall, almost as tall as the female insect.

The noble male insect looked at his reddened wrist, growing even angrier. He glared at Zhuang Nian, about to cause trouble, when he heard the medic insect beside him whisper a word of advice:

"Sir, please go and see your queen first! She is very weak, and the eggs inside her desperately need your care and attention."

The noble male insect paused for a moment, "Eggs? What eggs? Whose eggs are in their belly?"

"The egg in your female's belly?" The medical insect was also stunned. "She's already more than three months pregnant and about to give birth. Didn't you know?"

Noble male insect: "!!!"

The other insects around the noble male insect: "..." Their patriarch and the female lord had only been married for two months, and the female lord was carrying an egg that was about to be laid after more than three months... Where did it come from?

The noble male insect was stunned for a moment before he exploded. He didn't care about causing trouble for other insects anymore. He turned around and walked towards the ward, kicking the door open with his foot. Soon after, angry curses and the sound of heavy objects being smashed on the ground could be heard.

"You're secretly working just to make it easier to steal insects, aren't you?"

"Speak! Who is that worm who dares to consort with you?"

"Whose child is this bastard in your belly?!"

"You wretched insect! I'm going to kill you today!"

The noble male insect was inherently violent and refused to listen to or give any explanation. He dragged Hoss, who was lying on the hospital bed, to the ground, grabbed his hair, slammed the pale-faced insect hard against the corner of the table, and then kicked Hoss in the stomach several times.

Hoss, brutally tortured, lay in a pool of blood, still desperately protecting his stomach with both hands. He neither begged for mercy nor screamed; he simply bit his lower lip until it bled, and with all his might, shook his head at Fei, who was struggling to rush towards him.

Seeing that he could no longer hold back Fei, whose eyes were filled with rage, Zhuang Nian had no choice but to coldly remind him: "You know in your heart that you can't help him at all."

In this Zerg society where males are highly revered, no one can save a female Zerg trapped in marriage, not even the law.

Moreover, Hoss seems to be the one at fault.

On the way back, Fei brought up the matter of Hoss.

"Hosse and Shul were the same age, and he served as my bodyguard for many years."

"Of the three of us insects, Hoth has the best family background, but he has many brothers, and as a female soldier, he is not favored by his male father. I was originally happy to hear from Shul that he married a nobleman, but I never expected that his male master would cut off his bone wings on their wedding night, and Hoth can no longer go to the battlefield."

"When I returned to the military after my honeymoon, Hoss had already submitted his resignation. I had been trying to see him and ask about his situation, but Hoss refused."

"He's a very strong-willed insect, unwilling to have any connection with the insects and things of the past. Hoss didn't want us to see him in a sorry state, and I actually kicked him when he was at his most pathetic."

"Master, what do you think of him now?" Fei stopped and asked Zhuang Nian, who had been silent. "What do you think his master will do to him? I'm so worried..."

Under the moonlight, the female soldier's figure appeared somewhat thin, and her usually cold, golden vertical pupils seemed veiled, dim and devoid of any light.

Zhuang Nian was not a sentimental person; he stated realistically, "There's always a price to pay for doing wrong."

Fei shook his head and said earnestly, "Please believe me, Hoss is not just any insect. There must be some misunderstanding."

Zhuang Nian glanced at Fei: "What kind of insect you think he is is not important at all, nor is it important whether I believe him or not. What is important is what his master thinks."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the corner of the female soldier's mouth, and Zhuang Nian recalled the scene of the noble male insect slapping Fei. Before he could react, his hand had already gripped the female soldier's chin.

"Does it hurt?" Zhuang Nian asked.

Fei was somewhat surprised by the male insect's initiative to touch him. Although the wound on the corner of his mouth had healed, and that little injury was nothing to a female soldier who had risked her life on the battlefield, he still nodded, pursed his lips, and gave a pitiful look: "It hurts."

Zhuang Nian frowned: "Then let him hit me?"

"I thought that once he vented his anger, he wouldn't take it out on Hoss, but I didn't expect..."

"You're quite considerate of other insects."

"Hoss was my comrade-in-arms; he once saved my life."

"Don't do that again."

Fei squinted and tilted her head, her chin gently brushing against the male insect's palm, leaving a slippery feeling. "Master, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Zhuang Nian withdrew his hand, his tone slightly sarcastic, and said, "I just think you're stupid." It wasn't out of pity.

Fei didn't expect her master to feel sorry for her, and simply nodded obediently, saying, "Then from now on, I'll only let the master hit me, okay?"

He was very obedient, and his words were full of flattery. Although Zhuang Nian was almost used to the humility of female soldiers, he still felt slightly uncomfortable when he heard Fei say something like "I'll only let you hit me," which was almost like asking for trouble.

Even more so, I felt a little sorry for this lewd insect.

Zhuang Nian was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't hit you anymore."

Fei's eyes lit up, utterly incredulous: "Really, my lord? Are you telling the truth?"

Seeing the lecherous insect's excited expression, Zhuang Nian cautiously added, "On the condition that you don't do anything excessive." Otherwise, he'd beat you to death.

Fei, who was just about to give her lord a bear hug and then a kiss, and who was determined to sleep in her lord's bed that night and even wanted to do *that* with her lord: "…"

His eyes lost their sparkle, his expression lost its excitement, and he looked at Zhuang Nian with a dejected and aggrieved expression, saying in an extremely mournful voice, "Then you might as well hit me."

Zhuang Nian knew he couldn't trust this lecherous worm whose brain was full of lewd nonsense. As he turned to open the door, Fei suddenly reached out and hugged him from behind, burying her face in his shoulder and rubbing against him, asking in a wet voice:

"My lord, is it too much for me to ask you to hug me?"

After asking the question, she hugged him even tighter.

Zhuang Nian: "..." Could things get any more shameless than acting first and informing later?

He dragged the worms on his back into the house, but was stopped when he tried to turn on the light.

Fei kicked the door shut behind her, and in the cool moonlight, she peeked at her male master's reaction while nuzzling his face with her nose. After biting Zhuang Nian's lips through his mask, she asked very cautiously:

"My lord, is it too much for me to kiss you?"

After asking the question, she kissed the male insect on the face and put her hand on his mask.

Zhuang Nian: "..." This kind of person is really pushing their luck, so they have to be beaten.
