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

The air fell silent for a moment.

Zhuang Nian stared at the rapidly declining life points on the incubation pod, wondering how many more times he would have to endure the pain of losing his son?! How many more times would it take for it to finally end?!

Fei choked back tears, tugging at Zhuang Nian's sleeve and shaking it: "My Lord..."

Zhuang Nian frowned, brushed aside the female soldier's touch, and scolded him: "Cry, cry, cry! What face do you have to cry here?!" After saying that, he picked up the incubation chamber and strode upstairs.

Fei bit her lip, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and hurriedly followed.

The insect egg was awakened from its suspended animation thanks to Zhuang Nian's pheromones, and the subsequent hatching was also made possible by the pheromones.

Zhuang Nian didn't know if the newly hatched insect pups would still respond to pheromones, so he could only try anything as a last resort.

Fei realized what his master was about to do, so he quickly activated the protective device to prevent the pheromones from spreading and causing other safety hazards.

Zhuang Nian took out a pheromone ball from the box, broke it, and put it into the incubation chamber. Although he acted quickly, a lot of it still spilled out.

Fei couldn't help but lean closer, only to be pushed away: "Get away!"

The intense pheromones adorned the small space of the incubation chamber with a deep blue hue. Zhuang Nian stared intently at the life points, watching as the life points, which had regressed to 3.8, began to slowly recover, then steadily climbed until finally stopping at 55 in the green zone.

After confirming via video call with medical staff that the insect had once again created a miracle and successfully passed the critical period, Zhuang Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could even glance at his offspring, he heard a thud as the lecherous insect beside him fell to the ground.

Fei was affected by pheromones, his body was trapped by desire, he hugged his arms tightly and bit his lip hard, his nose bleeding uncontrollably.

Zhuang Nian was truly impressed!

He knelt down and helped the huddled female soldier sit up, pressing the back of Fei's head to tilt his face forward to prevent the blood from flowing back from his nose, while simultaneously applying pressure to the sides of Fei's nostrils to stop the bleeding, scolding him impatiently:

"All you do every day is the same old thing! Can't you think of anything else?"

Fei is innocent!

With the insect cub in imminent danger, even if he were a beast, he wouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing at this moment.

But his body had been trained to be so sensitive during the male insect's third awakening due to endless lovemaking that he simply couldn't stand the high concentration of pheromones.

Fei dodged Zhuang Nian's touch, shrank into the corner and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I don't want to annoy you either. To avoid losing control, you can find a rope to tie me up."

The female soldier's erratic movements successfully caused her nose to bleed profusely, and bright red blood gushed from her mouth in a shocking display.

Zhuang Nian had seen Fei go into heat due to pheromones before, but never this severely. He quickly picked Fei up, grabbed the female soldier's chin, and pressed him against the wall, yelling, "Don't move!"

The male insect's voice was so fierce. Fei felt wronged and upset, and her eyes welled up with tears. She wanted to run away, but the male insect's palm and touch were so hot and burning that the insect was reluctant to leave.

Fei hugged his arms helplessly, his nails piercing his clothes and digging into his flesh, shaking his head with restraint: "My lord, please, don't touch me."

Zhuang Nian pinched the sides of Fei's nose, his chest stained with a large patch of blood: "What happened? Why won't it stop?"

Fei doesn't know either~

I guess I've been holding back for too long, and my body has reached its limit.

He had tolerated it last time, but during this period, he had been sharing a bed with male insects every day without finding relief. It wasn't just Zhuang Nian who was being tested; Fei was also tormented to the point of bursting with anger. Sure enough, his nose started bleeding and he couldn't stop.

Seeing that Fei's lips were pale and he was showing signs of anemia, Zhuang Nian didn't care about anything else and hurriedly carried the insect in his arms to the bathroom.

The damp environment made Fei feel suffocated, and her body was extremely tense.

Seeing that Fei had closed his eyes, Zhuang Nian quickly patted his face: "Don't sleep."

Fei controlled herself and weakly lay on the male insect's shoulder, pretending to be dead.

Zhuang Nian was anxious and was about to kiss Fei when he suddenly noticed the lecherous boy's eyelashes fluttering. He immediately slapped him: "Pretending again!"

Fei hurriedly shook his head, hugged Zhuang Nian's neck tightly, and said aggrievedly, "No, no, I'm not. I'm going to faint. I can't open my eyes."

Zhuang Nian's nostrils were full of blood, and he was disgusted. He placed Fei on the washstand and held his chin to make him sit up straight: "Don't move."

The female soldier has already bled a lot; if she continues to bleed, the worm might die.

Zhuang Nian didn't want to tell his two little ones when he went to the grave of the lecherous insects next year that they were on the verge of death on the day they hatched, but when he used pheromones to save them, their female father died from a nosebleed.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

Fei was also very excited, and choked, spitting out a mouthful of warm blood.

He vomited just a few centimeters below Zhuang Nian's lower abdomen...

################

Zhuang Nian used the showerhead to wash away the blood and grime from each other's bodies, while Fei stood with his legs tightly closed, refusing to cooperate.

Zhuang Nian frowned: "What if I'm pregnant?"

Fei's nosebleed had stopped, and when she spoke while leaning against the mirror, her lips were even whiter than her delicate skin: "...give birth to him."

Zhuang Nian: "Having harmed this nest isn't enough, who else do you want to harm? Open your mouth!"

Fei hesitated, then whispered weakly, "My lord..."

Zhuang Nian urged him, "Hurry up, we don't know how those two kids outside are doing. You need to be more sensible."

Fei snapped out of his daze, pushed Zhuang Nian aside, and dashed out.

Zhuang Nian: "..."

The pheromones in the study were still very strong, so to avoid further stimulation to Fei, Zhuang Nian carried the incubation capsule back to the bedroom.

—Finally, I can properly observe my own baby.

The two insect larvae were not very big, thin and small, curled up in a ball. Zhuang Nian compared them with his hand, and they were not even as big as his palm.

The twin insect offspring looked the same; in Zhuang Nian's eyes, they were identical, both incredibly ugly.

Their skin is as black as charcoal, and their spines are covered with thin, transparent scales. If you look closely, you will find that each of the insect offspring has a pair of small black wings with a very faint golden pattern on them. These are probably the bone wings that belong to the female insects.

Now they look fragile, as if they could be torn apart with a single hand, but Zhuang Nian, who has seen the skeletal wings of the colored insects, can easily imagine how sharp and powerful those wings will become when they grow up.

The man and the insect rested their chins on their hands, looking at the newly hatched chicks in the incubation chamber, their expressions varying.

Zhuang Nian searched for a long time but couldn't find the babies' facial features. He asked Fei, "Don't they have heads?"

Fei chuckled and carefully pointed out the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth of the little insects to Zhuang Nian, but the two little insects were so black that they looked like charcoal and could not be distinguished with the naked eye.

Zhuang Nian gave up and shifted his gaze to the cubs' hands and feet, or more precisely, their paws.

The five finger bones, connected by a transparent, sticky liquid and a white membrane, were wrinkled like a small fan, and like the back, were covered with transparent scales.

—They're like two little monsters.

Fei asked Zhuang Nian excitedly, "My lord, aren't they adorable? Aren't they all dark-skinned, just like you when you were little?"

Zhuang Nian thought to himself, "I wasn't good enough to grow up like this when I was a kid," and shook his head: "I wasn't as ugly as them."

"Huh?" Fei was taken aback, a little displeased. "Master, do you think the insect cubs are ugly? They're clearly very beautiful! Look at their bony wings, look at their facial features, and those cute little claws. Aren't they ugly?"

Zhuang Nian covered his face; he couldn't bear to look too closely, as it only made him uglier.

Fei was very disappointed and nudged Zhuang Nian's arm: "My lord, take a good look, is it really ugly?"

Zhuang Nian glanced at the two dark, black pieces of charcoal again, then got up to wash his eyes. He was afraid that if he continued to look, the little fatherly love he had left would be extinguished by the ugliness.

Fei persisted, tugging at Zhuang Nian and pestering him: "My Lord~ My Lord~ Please look again, is the insect cub really that ugly?"

Zhuang Nian couldn't lie. His greatest respect for the insect cubs was to refrain from commenting. But since Fei kept pestering him, he could only try to be tactful and say, "It's alright."

Fei was not satisfied with this answer, and rubbed against Zhuang Nian's waist, saying, "My lord, please speak properly."

Zhuang Nian thought for a moment and said, "The ugly is very beautiful."

That night, the female insect hugged the incubation chamber with her back to the male insect, without touching him or saying a word to him.

The insect offspring grew up slowly amidst their father's disdain, and after more than two months, they finally opened their eyes.

His large, wet, golden vertical pupils, inherited from Fei, were like cat's eyes, crystal clear like the finest gemstones.

Despite her cold-blooded demeanor, for some reason, when she looked into Zhuang Nian's eyes, she revealed a hint of tenderness.

Zhuang Nian: "..." He takes back what he said earlier; his own children can still watch it.

At three months old, the two babies finally came out of the incubator. Although they were smaller than other insects of the same age, they were in good health after such a long period of careful care.

Zhuang Nian stretched out his hand and watched as the two tiny insects slowly crawled up his fingers. Their bodies were black and soft, with only a pair of golden vertical pupils and insect patterns on their bone wings shining brightly.

The cubs seemed to sense their father's scrutinizing gaze, opening their four big, wet eyes to look at him, making gurgling sounds in their throats.

They can't speak or cry; when they're hungry, thirsty, or uncomfortable, they can only express it with gurgling sounds.

Zhuang Nian looked at the baby's bright white teeth, then withdrew his fingers and watched as Fei brought a large bowl of meat to feed them.

It was a huge bowl full, and amazingly, both babies ate it all.

Zhuang Nian couldn't understand how that small body could eat so much meat.

He watched as the two baby insects, their bellies bulging, crawled into the glass enclosure to bask in the sun. He covered their bellies with a handkerchief, thinking that he had to work hard to earn money, lest one day he couldn't buy meat and these two cold-blooded little monsters with sharp teeth would eat him up.

Zhuang Nian rested his chin on his hand and flicked the insect's claws with his finger. He heard Fei say, "Master, I'm going to work."

The male insect turned its head and saw the female standing at the door, her figure backlit.

Fei was wearing a dark green military uniform today, with a straight back and a black leather belt. He rarely wore such a dark-colored uniform, which, combined with his cold and aloof face, made him look both stern and cold.

Like black ink dripping onto paper, it can express unparalleled elegance without any words.

Zhuang Nian's hand, which was tugging at the cub's paws, suddenly tightened, and he was bitten by the cub.
