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

Given Zhuang Nian's reputation for attracting customers, the more than 20,000 customers that Fei kicked out were almost all potential buyers. For a small shop that hadn't even opened yet, the losses were self-evident.

Fortunately, Youchong discovered it in time and told Zhuangnian, otherwise all the hard work to build up the potential customer base would have been wasted because of Junci's recklessness.

To prevent this from happening again, Zhuang Nian replaced all the administrators with bots, added back the kicked-out bugs, and publicly apologized in the group.

Everyone comforted him, saying, "Don't blame him."

"It's alright, Lord Zhuang Nian. It was that annoying bug that caused the trouble. It has nothing to do with you."

"Yes, Your Excellency Zhuang Nian, thank you so much for personally adding me back. I'm so touched."

"Your Excellency Zhuang Nian is so elegant! I'm a fan now."

Zhuang Nian leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply, utterly exhausted.

He wasn't acting on a whim, nor did he want to use his SSS-level male insect status to make money. He was seriously managing his brand and embarking on his first entrepreneurial venture.

He had been preparing for this trial operation for a long time.

To save costs, Zhuang Nian did everything himself, from harvesting to processing to packaging, working day and night without rest. His head was throbbing, and he looked at the troublesome account while holding his forehead.

[Look at me, my lord]

Judging from the generous tips given to the alt account, it shouldn't be a malicious attempt to sabotage him.

Zhuang Nian opened the donation details in the background. After seeing the address IP and the long account number for the fund flow, he frowned deeply.

That perverted bug!

Every single day! It just makes him miserable!

Some bugs in the group have already started digging up the IP address of the account 【雄主看我】. In the high-tech information age of the Zerg, it is incredibly easy for a Zerg to dox a Zerg.

Seeing that the pervert was about to be exposed, Zhuang Nian quickly revoked all permissions in the group and deleted all traces of "Look at me, Master".

He didn't know why he did it; by the time he realized it, it was already done.

One of the insects asked, puzzled, "Why is Lord Zhuang Nian protecting him? Find him and we'll avenge you!"

Their so-called venting is nothing more than digging up the pervert and giving him a good scolding. Zhuang Nian has no idea what earth-shattering things the pervert who has been exposed online might do next.

Perhaps, as he previously instructed, he'll have his lawyers sue his clients into bankruptcy...

Zhuang Nian glanced at the time and went to the sofa to take a nap.

My brain throbs with pain, whether I'm lying on my side or back, it feels like my brain and skull are about to separate, and the dizziness and pain make it impossible for me to fall asleep.

Zhuang Nian felt dizzy and his heart rate was fasting. He knew this was because he hadn't gotten enough sleep, so he tried to fall asleep.

But perhaps it was because of the horny insects causing trouble, Zhuang Nian would think of Jun Ci's face every time he closed his eyes—cool, smiling, jealous, throwing a tantrum, crying—and he just couldn't fall asleep...

Zhuang Nian rolled over in frustration, accidentally knocking over a water glass on the table and drenching the insect eggs nestled on the carpet.

The insect egg shook its body, as if sensing the movement of its male father, and rolled its body towards Zhuang Nian's hand. Unfortunately, it lacked the power and wobbled like a roly-poly toy, unable to reach the male insect's fingertips.

Zhuang Nian found it amusing and lowered his hand to touch the eggshell: "You're much cuter than him."

The insect egg, with its tilted body, obediently rubbed against Zhuang Nian's palm.

Zhuang Nian added, "Just like him, he likes to act cute."

Sensing his father's affection, the insect egg continued to try to jump into Zhuang Nian's palm. The pheromone ball hanging on the eggshell hit the corner of the table with a thud and shattered.

The rich, cool fragrance immediately spread, and Zhuang Nian, forgetting his headache, hurriedly jumped off the sofa to close the window.

A cool night breeze lifted the gauze curtains, and the moonlight shone like water. The person and the insect who were looking at each other were stunned for a moment.

A small airship had been moored by the river at some point. A cold-faced female soldier stood with her legs bent, her golden vertical pupils staring straight at him in the dappled moonlight, her gaze as infatuated and crazed as ever.

Zhuang Nian reached out to close the window and pulled at the curtains, trying to shut out the annoying female soldier outside, when he heard a brick on the wall break.

Fei smelled the pheromones drifting in the wind and saw the flush on Zhuang Nian's face. Like a ghost, he leaped onto the wall, grabbed the eaves, and jumped to the window. Before Zhuang Nian could activate the room's protection system, he pushed open the window and jumped in.

Zhuang Nian looked at him, his face extremely displeased.

Fei looked at him with concern and asked, "My lord, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Zhuang Nian didn't answer, but instead asked, "Who let you in?"

Fei pursed her lips, lowered her brows slightly, and said, "Your pheromones are leaking out; it's dangerous. You need me..."

"No need." Zhuang Nian interrupted Jun Ci, rudely telling him to get lost.

Normally, Fei wouldn't dare to be so blatant, even if he wanted to, but today's situation is different.

The male insect's pheromones are being released!

Although this place is close to the military sanatorium, it is in a remote location, and the patrolling insects are all strong and healthy female soldiers. The male insects' pheromones are so delicious and rich that if there were any insects with malicious intentions, it would be a very dangerous and terrible thing.

Moreover, the male insect seemed to be feeling unwell...

Fei felt he had to stay here to protect Zhuang Nian, even if Zhuang Nian coldly chased him away, scolded him, and hit him.

He insisted, "Your pheromones will attract bad bugs, so I have to stay here to protect you."

Looking at the hazy desire rising in Fei's eyes due to the stimulation of pheromones, Zhuang Nian felt that this lustful insect in front of him was the most dangerous existence, and said, "There are troops stationed here, so it's very safe."

Fei shook his head in disagreement: "When you were harassed and attacked by female soldiers before, it was at the military headquarters. Wasn't that safe?"

Zhuang Nian: "..."

Fei pressed on: "Even if you don't consider your own safety, you should at least think about the insect eggs."

When eggs were mentioned, Zhuang Nian turned his head.

In the darkness, the insect egg lay on the carpet, its golden insect patterns on its shell glowing intermittently.

Zhuang Nian and Fei were both startled and rushed over.

"It seems your pheromones are helping him a lot!" Fei said excitedly. "His insect patterns are glowing, which proves that his vitality is gradually increasing."

Last time, Zhuang Nian accidentally dripped blood onto an insect eggshell, and the egg reacted the same way. He asked, "Do blood and pheromones have the same effect?"

Fei shook his head, giving a similar answer to the doctors: "It's different. The male father's blood doesn't help the insect eggs. It's possible that your bloodline level is too high, and your blood also contains valuable pheromones, which is why it reacted."

Zhuang Nian nodded slightly, thinking to himself that it was no wonder the pheromone balls on the insect eggshell were getting smaller and smaller; they were all being absorbed by this little thing.

He then asked, "If he gets enough pheromones, is it possible for him to hatch?"

Fei lowered his eyebrows: "The best way is actually to put the insect egg back into my body, and then you can water it, making the insect egg think it hasn't hatched yet. After it has absorbed enough nutrients, you can take it out to hatch..."

This method is far more terrifying and stimulating than what the doctor suggested: smearing white discharge on the eggshell.

Zhuang Nian was disgusted and questioned the female soldier:

"You couldn't even fulfill your responsibilities when he was in your belly, and now that he's like this, if it weren't for my SSS-level pheromones, he would have rotted and died long ago. How dare you say such things?"

"You're just trying to show off your foolish and pathetic paternal love by putting him back in your belly now that he's still alive. Do you even deserve to? Did you even ask the egg's opinion?"

"When he needed you, weren't you eager to die for him? What? You think you can be as dutiful as you want, and as derelict in your duties as you please? I'm asking you! Who do you think you are?!"

The matter of insect eggs had always been a taboo between them, and now that Zhuang Nian had brought it up, Fei hurriedly began to explain.

"My lord, I'm sorry! I..."

"Would 'sorry' solve anything? If I cut off your head and said sorry, would you still be alive? Would you come back to life without a scar on your neck? And if you weren't, would you be completely unconcerned about me cutting off your head?"

"I……"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Just looking at you annoys me! Don't talk to me! Get lost!"

The male was probably feeling unwell and was being particularly emotional, so the female was scolded and looked rather humiliated, but she wasn't particularly upset.

Rather than a silent cold war, the female soldier would rather be berated by the male like this than be ignored.

Fei, shameless as ever, whispered, "My lord, please don't be angry. You'll only hurt yourself. I don't want to upset you..."

Zhuang Nian: "Then why did you cause trouble?"

Fei lowered her brows and blinked her large golden eyes: "I don't know what you're talking about..."

Zhuang Nian: "Didn't you kick those 20,000 insects?"

Fei felt wronged as soon as he mentioned this. He had come all the way here in the middle of the night to confront this matter, but in this situation, he dared not admit it. He whispered, "My lord, I am innocent..."

"Injustice?" Zhuang Nian retorted, "Isn't the IP address 520.13.140.0. yours? And isn't this financial account yours?"

Oh dear~ Fei covered her face shyly, her ears red as she tugged at the male insect's sleeve: "I knew the male master still liked me, cared about me, and loved me. Look, he remembers these little details so clearly."

Zhuang Nian, utterly speechless, swatted away the lecherous insect's restless paws and said, "I have a photographic memory."

Fei nodded compliantly: "My lord is truly amazing, truly wonderful."

Zhuang Nian was so frustrated by the stubborn female soldier that he raised his hand to slap her.

Fei pulled the male insect's wrist and kissed his slender hand, saying considerately, "I have thick skin, be careful not to hurt your hand. I'll do it myself."

After saying that, the female soldier slapped herself, causing her lip to bleed. She then asked the male with a smile, "Master, is that enough? If not..." She was about to slap herself again when her wrist was grabbed.

Zhuang Nian pulled Fei in front of him and asked him coldly, word by word, "Are you sick?"

Fei fell into the male insect's arms, leaning against his strong chest, and said obediently, "Yes, there is lovesickness, jealousy, regret, envy, liking you, loving you, not wanting to lose you, wanting to start over with you... But no matter what kind of illness it is, you are just heartless and refuse to give me the antidote."

Zhuang Nian: "..." I think you're really sick!

Zhuang Nian pushed away the shameless, lecherous insect, picked up the egg, and stood up. He noticed that the little creature's markings were slightly dimmed because of his argument with the female soldier, and touched the eggshell, saying, "We were just talking a little too fast, we weren't arguing."

The insect egg tilted slightly in its male father's arms, soothed by the male insect's warm palm, and continued to absorb pheromones from the air, the golden insect patterns on its shell lighting up again.

Zhuang Nian, seeing that the insect egg was to his liking, took out a pheromone ball from the box and smashed it on the ground, ignoring...

Inside the room, there was another horny insect, equally craving pheromones and eyeing him covetously.
