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

The dissolution of a Zerg marriage is not the same as a divorce for humans. As a Zergling involved, and only a female servant, Fei has no say in this matter.

When the male insect protection association arrived at the hospital, the female was lying on the hospital bed, holding her insect eggs and lost in thought.

It was clearly written in black and white that Zhuang Nian voluntarily gave up all his privileges, only requesting the dissolution of his marriage with Fei. From then on, he would marry a woman and they would have no further dealings with each other.

He was very generous; not only did he not ask for divorce compensation, but he also returned all of Fei's dowry and did not pursue any of his dereliction of duty or fault in the marriage.

He was also very stingy, taking back everything he had given her, from underwear and socks to that box of precious pheromone balls, leaving Fei with not a single thought of it.

Zhuang Nian also entrusted the Male Insect Protection Association to hand over the sickle to Fei, returning it to its rightful owner. At the same time, they parted amicably and settled their differences completely.

Putting aside Fei's reaction, Shul and Joni were absolutely shocked!

From an outsider's perspective, they fully understood Zhuang Nian's feelings, but perhaps having witnessed so much of the male insects' kindness towards their superior, they secretly harbored hope that with time and the fading of memories, they would eventually reconcile. Little did they expect...

When male insects are affectionate towards females, they are genuinely kind; when they are cold-hearted, they are truly heartless.

Fei bit his lip, a hint of tears welling in his eyes. He tore the certificate of dissolving the relationship to shreds, hugged the insect egg tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't agree!"

In the past, the male insect protection association would have definitely given him a good lesson, but now they're used to it and consider the female's current status, reminding her: "We're just here to inform you; you don't have the right to say no."

Fei felt vaguely that he had lost something, a feeling he had only experienced when his female father died in battle.

He stumbled to his feet, not even bothering with the insect eggs that had rolled to the ground, and ran barefoot outside, only to be stopped by Shul and Joni.

"General, where are you going?"

"I must find the Lord! I must find him! I absolutely must find him!"

The female soldier, dressed in a hospital gown, was barefoot and her face was deathly pale from the shock. She was screaming and completely broken down, showing no trace of the demeanor one would expect from a war god.

Xiuer and Jiaoni looked reluctant, and could only go along with the emotional Fei Dao: "General, put your clothes on, we will take you to see Lord Zhuang Nian."

Fei felt that there was no time to put on the uniform, but then she remembered that her master was a slovenly man, so she hurriedly said, "Quickly iron my uniform. My master doesn't like sloppy men. Give me a towel. I need to wash my face."

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked towards the bathroom. His head spun and he swayed. Luckily, Xiuer caught him, preventing him from crushing the insect egg under his feet.

Fei, belatedly realizing what was happening, asked in a panic, "Where are the eggs? Where are my eggs?"

"This, this, this!" Johnny hurriedly put the insect egg that had rolled to the ground into his general's arms, sensing that Fei's condition was vaguely not good.

Fei hurriedly blew the dust off the eggshell, then wiped it with his hand, muttering to himself, "Your father loves cleanliness, we need to get ready before we see him."

But he could no longer go home. After the divorce, Fei couldn't even get into the apartment complex; he had to go to the military headquarters, where he was told…

"Zhuang Nian has already resigned," the boss said. "Just this morning."

Fei's face suddenly turned ugly. He stumbled backward while holding the insect egg and was caught by Joni.

Shul hurriedly offered advice to his general, who was on the verge of tears:

"General, a male insect can run away, but it can't run away from home. Since Lord Zhuang Nian is hiding from you, then we'll become his neighbor, and that way we can see him..."

The boss listened silently, not wanting to further discourage Fei, and didn't mention that Zhuang Nian had revealed his intention to move when he resigned.

-

The room was empty, with only a few cardboard boxes piled up at the door.

Zhuang Nian perfectly exemplified the concept of decluttering. After ending his relationship with Fei, the house he had lived in for a short time but which held many memories became one of the objects to be discarded.

He originally wanted to leave the main planet and live on other planets, but the authorities did not agree.

After several discussions, the Male Insect Protection Association arranged Zhuang Nian's new residence in the suburbs, away from the city center but close to the military sanatorium. The environment was quiet and pleasant, and most importantly, there were troops stationed there, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Zhuang Nian chose a small red building with a courtyard, only a little over a thousand square meters, from among the villas.

The male insect protection association asked him, "Isn't he too small?" They worried that once he marries another insect and has offspring, he might not have enough room to live.

Zhuang Nian: "It's enough for me to live alone."

Male Insect Protection Association: "Alright then, this house will be reserved for you indefinitely. If you get bored in your new home, you're welcome to come back anytime."

"No need." Zhuang Nian shook his head and said decisively, "You can take it back. I won't be coming back."

On the other side...

Shul and Joni are busy looking for houses for their generals.

With Fei's current status in the military, even without Zhuang Nian, he could still move into that prestigious neighborhood. However, the houses near the male insect's house are all occupied by insects, making it difficult for him to make his mark.

Fei, holding the insect eggs, said, "Ask if anyone is willing to sell. We can buy or trade. Try to arrange the house as close to the male master as possible."

Xiuer really wanted to say: those insects must be overjoyed to know that Zhuang Nian lost his insect egg and became single again. They're all waiting to take over, so why would they be willing to sell their houses near the male insects? They're all insects with status, and they don't care about a few dollars.

However, given Johnny's fierce gaze, Shul bit his tongue and shut his mouth.

The two insects searched and searched, when suddenly they noticed a new house on the page, clean and bright, and somewhat familiar...

"This... isn't this our general's old home?"

"what?"

Hearing his subordinates' mutterings, Fei peeked over the screen and immediately went to inquire with the Male Insect Protection Association: "Where is Lord Zhuang Nian? Why is his house listed online?"

Male Insect Protection Association: "Mr. Zhuang Nian has moved out and relinquished ownership of this house."

Fei was startled: "Where did he move to?"

Male Insect Protection Association: "Sorry, we cannot tell you that."

Fei felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head; her heart sank. After a long silence, she asked, "Then can I have this house?"

Male Insect Protection Association: "Of course."

The house was still the same house, and the sign at the gate that read "Pregnant worms inside, do not approach" still stood quietly. Fei gently stroked the words on it, recalling the past, and felt that things had changed, but the worms were no longer the same.

The room was very clean; the male insect hadn't even left a pair of socks, let alone underwear or anything else.

Fei carried the insect eggs to bed, snuggled into the blankets still faintly infused with the male insect's pheromones, and softly called out to the air, "Master..."

no respond.

"Egg, what do you think the female father should do now? If you were here, would you plead for her father?"

Still no response.

Because of his stubbornness, his own insect eggs were forever stopped at the stage of being about to be born. He must have resented him, so why would he plead for him?

The insect egg stood there quietly, its black and gold markings on the shell dull and without any luster. It felt heavy in my hand, clearly a dead egg.

Fei kissed the cold eggshell with deep remorse, then stroked the egg and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm so sorry, Father didn't protect you well. I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

With his eyes closed and tears streaming down his face, he didn't notice that when he wrapped the insect egg in the blanket, the egg, enveloped in that faint, cool fragrance, trembled slightly.

Later, Fei used all his connections to find Zhuang Nian, but still found nothing.

He lost all contact with the male insect, as if the black-haired male had never existed.

Looking at Fei, who was becoming increasingly depressed and only focused on playing with the eggs, Xiu'er advised, "General, it's been so long. Shouldn't we bury the insect eggs in the starry sea and let them rest in peace?"

Fei paused in rubbing the eggshell, then shook his head and said, "He's still alive."

The insect eggs weren't spoiled or smelly; they were cool and radiated the proper temperature of an insect egg, but...

The larvae inside will never hatch, and they will never forgive him.

Shul thought his general had gone mad.

Even the doctor said it was a dead egg, but Fei firmly believed that the egg was still alive and held it in his hand every day.

Wipe it while sitting, wipe it while walking, wipe it while eating, wipe it while drinking water, wipe it all the time, even while in a meeting.

Even those present who had been on the battlefield and seen blood couldn't help but feel uneasy looking at Fei like this, and they began to whisper among themselves.

The marshal coughed, and after the meeting, he called Fei to his office. He glanced at the egg Fei was holding in his arms and said, "Condolences for the death of the insect. General Fei, when are you going to pull yourself together?"

"I've always been cheerful." Fei hugged the egg in his arms and said without much emotion, "If you want me to cheer up even more, please tell me where the male master is now? The egg and I miss him very much."

The marshal avoided the question, tapping the table and saying, "Come with me to the military sanatorium this weekend. The elders are eager to see you. Be prepared and don't let anything go wrong."

Fei hesitated for a moment, looking at the egg in his arms, until the marshal, looking troubled, gave in and said he could take the egg with him. Only then did Fei nod and say, "Yes, Marshal."

The military sanatorium is located in the suburbs, far from the city center, in a beautiful and pleasant place.

Under the Marshal's intense gaze, Fei pursed his lips and handed the insect egg to Xiuer, saying, "Take good care of him."

Shul nodded, and after his general and marshal entered the house, he felt a stomachache and handed the insect eggs to his subordinate: "I'm going to the toilet, can you hold them for me for a bit?"

His subordinates were busy, so he could only hand the insect eggs back to one of them, saying, "Hold them."

The subordinate's subordinate was new and didn't know the importance of the insect egg in his hand. He put the egg at his feet, and a passing insect accidentally kicked it. The egg rolled down the green grass slope into the river and then drifted to the front of a beautiful red building.

-

After resigning from the military, Zhuang Nian remained idle. During this time, he bought a low-grade planet while browsing the black market.

He originally bought it because its surface was a deep blue and somewhat resembled his home planet Earth, just to console himself and keep it as a decoration. Yesterday, out of boredom, he went for a stroll on the planet and was surprised to find that it was home to many plants and fruits, all of exceptionally high quality.

It would be a lie to say Zhuang Nian wasn't excited. He took some back to test for poison and discovered that an extra egg had appeared out of nowhere.

The eggshell was dark and covered with golden patterns. I didn't know what kind of egg it was, but it didn't look appetizing.

Zhuang Nian, somewhat disgusted, kicked the egg into the trash can.
