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

In this farce, Bino and Tunan were simply fighting like dogs, while Fei, as both the victim and the ultimate beneficiary, remained magnanimous throughout.

He always remembered the Marshal's kindness in protecting him when he lost his father at a young age, and the Marshal's various forms of support and guidance after he joined the military.

In Fei's heart, the Marshal was always the most respectable insect and his beloved elder, so he always showed mercy to the Marshal's only insect offspring, Bino.

As for Tunan...

In the spacious and bright office, Fei, returning from the mecha room, took the towel handed to him by Xiu'er. Joni, standing beside him, said:

"Commander, Lieutenant General Tu Nan has been waiting for you for a long time. Shall we see him?"

Fei calmly sat down behind the table: "What is it?"

Joni: "Lieutenant General Tunan has completed his wedding leave and needs your signature on his appointment form."

Fei handed the towel back to Xiuer. "Let him in."

Shul scoffed softly and whispered to his captain:

"In my opinion, you should leave Lieutenant General Tu Nan out of the loop for a few days, or simply take this opportunity to transfer him to another place, since he's always been going against you before."

"Now that you've become the regimental commander, the future marshal, and his superior, you must teach him a lesson and make him regret his past rudeness! He must never dare to be disrespectful in front of you again."

Fei glanced at Xiu'er: "You're a major general now, you need to be careful with your words and actions. Didn't I tell you to report to your department? Why are you still hanging around here?"

Shul pursed his lips: "Commander, I don't want to be a major general. I want to stay by your side forever. Now that Hoth is gone, and I'm leaving too, who will help you if anything happens?"

Fei Yixiao:

"Although I am currently the designated candidate for marshal, the other three regimental commanders are also qualified to compete with me."

"If you really want to help me, then be a good major general. That would be the greatest help you can give me. Besides, I have Johnny by my side, he..."

"How long has he been with you?" Shul interrupted Fei, blurting out, "What if he becomes disloyal to you?"

Fei frowned, about to say something, when Jiao Ni pushed open the door, followed by Tu Nan.

As Xiuer said, Fei is now the regimental commander, Tu Nan's superior, and the marshal's designated candidate. If Fei wants to, Tu Nan shouldn't expect to have a good life.

The Fourth Army Corps has been reorganized and reshuffled. The former members have either retired or are in leisurely positions waiting to retire. After experiencing various things, Tu Nan is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.

He stood there awkwardly, his hands clenched into fists as he bent over, his back seemingly collapsing.

"Good morning, Commander."

That attitude was so impressive that even Xiuer was very satisfied.

Fei's expression was frosty. After Tu Nan explained his purpose, he decisively signed the approval document, which was stained with sweat from being clenched. He didn't make things difficult for him, nor did he give him a second glance.

Back when his father was still alive, Fei remembered that he and Tu Nan had a close childhood together.

Those were truly wonderful days!

The two parents would always bring them something nice to eat when they came home from get off work. Sometimes it was candy, sometimes it was pastries, but no matter what it was, they felt happy when they ate it.

Fei always thought that such days would last a lifetime, until one day, only one of the two fathers returned.

All because one insect was afraid of death, it betrayed the trust of another insect and cut off the other insect's path.

"From then on, the regimental commander refused Lieutenant General Tunan's advances. As time went on, no matter how good the relationship was, there was no reason to get close."

Wearing a mask, Qi Qi said with some melancholy:

"Over the years, the commander and Tu Nan have been sworn enemies, always trying to outdo each other. But I know that the commander still has feelings for Tu Nan. In the end, the commander is a sentimental and loyal person..."

Zhuang Nian didn't even look up as he sorted through the reports in his hands, ignoring what he said.

Fei's past was actually exposed as early as when he returned victorious.

At that time, Zhuang Nian was immersed in the pain of losing his son and blocked out all outside information. Now that Imbino and Tunan have been brought up again, he has finally paid attention to them.

But it's possible that Zhuang Nian grew up in a very peaceful country and never experienced the cruelty of war, or perhaps because his parents were loving and cared for him, that he couldn't empathize with or understand Fei's plight.

In other words, despite knowing that the female soldier had a compelling reason to go to the battlefield, Zhuang Nian still couldn't approve of her actions and remained bothered by them.

After all, Zhuang Nian didn't know Fei's female father, nor did he know what kind of insect he was. His death in battle and whether his remains returned home in glory were none of Zhuang Nian's business.

The only thing that could stir his emotions and make him care was the insect cub that was related to him by blood.

Since Fei could give up the living life inside his belly for a deceased insect, he might be a very filial and good insect, but he is definitely not a good wife, nor is he a good female father.

If Fei Neng had to abandon the insect cubs once for a difficult reason, it was very possible that he would abandon them again for another difficult reason in the future. So why should he take that risk?

Qi thought Zhuang Nian would sympathize, feel sorry for, feel sorry for, and forgive his leader's previous mistakes, but judging from Zhuang Nian's reaction, it seemed... that he didn't.

"Lord Zhuang Nian, the regimental commander..." Qi Qi was about to say something when Zhuang Nian interrupted him: "Has the bug who installed the flash delivery cabinets arrived yet?"

After several months of hard work, Lanxing Fruit Farm is now on the right track. The farm has taken out a loan to install a flash delivery locker, so they no longer need to run back and forth to transport the fruit.

This saved him a lot of time and gave him the energy to do other things.

And Zhuiqi is also a particularly good helper.

Having served in the military and coming from a noble family, he was not only highly obedient and efficient, earning everyone's trust, but also provided Zhuang Nian with a great deal of advice and assistance in inter-insect relations. Upon hearing Zhuang Nian's question about the flash delivery lockers, he said:

"I was worried you'd be anxious, so I urged them to install it yesterday. It's currently being tested and is expected to be ready for use this afternoon."

Zhuang Nian was very satisfied with Zhui Qi's efficiency. He picked up the two little insects crawling around on the table and said, "Go take a look."

Earth has no atmosphere to protect it, and the temperature is very variable. Looking at the fallen leaves drifting in the wind, it seems that autumn is just around the corner.

The two insect cubs were kicked into the trench coat pockets by Zhuang Nian, one on each side. They stretched out their dark claws to explore the sunflowers swaying in the wind on the hillside. Their large, golden vertical pupils were full of curiosity about seeing new things.

The sunflower field looks close, but it's actually more than ten minutes' walk away.

Zhuang Nian had important matters to attend to and didn't have time to satisfy the cubs' curiosity. He strode forward, pressing the cubs' paws back into his pockets as he walked. Seeing them still purring and sticking their heads out, he said, "Don't move."

The two cubs wouldn't listen, clinging to Zhuang Nian's fingers and crawling outwards. Their large, watery vertical pupils were fixed on the sunflowers that were getting further and further away, and their bony wings on their backs kept flapping, as if they wanted to fly away.

Seeing that he had already walked so far, and the two little ones were still staring at the sunflower field unwillingly, Zhuang Nian had no choice but to say, "I have something to do now, I'll pick some for you when I get back later."

Two little bugs won't do! I want them now! Right now! They rolled around in Zhuang Nian's pocket, purring and throwing a tantrum.

Zhuang Nian wasn't one to coax children gently. Seeing that the two little ones were being disobedient, he slapped their bottoms through his pocket and scolded, "Be good."

The two baby insects have been carefully cared for and pampered since birth due to their physical condition. They have never suffered such grievances. They immediately pressed their heads down against the bottom of the pocket, as if they wanted to suffocate themselves and make their male father regret it.

When Fei arrived, this was the scene he saw.

After hearing Qi Qi recount the whole story, he was both amused and exasperated. He gently comforted the two teary-eyed, extremely aggrieved insect cubs in his palms and said, "Your Majesty, you go ahead with your work. I'll go pick some flowers for the little insects."

Zhuang Nian had a gut feeling that this would spoil the kids, so he said, "Wait until I'm done with my work."

He just told the kids that he would go after he finished his work, which was already a compromise on his part. There was no reason for him to compromise again. Otherwise, if the kids got into this habit, they might throw a huge tantrum if he couldn't satisfy them immediately.

Seeing the two cubs snoring pitifully, Fei whispered, "Master, you go ahead with your work. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll take them first to avoid them making a fuss."

Zhuang Nian wanted to discuss the education of the two cubs with him, but because there were many insects around, he didn't say anything more, which was considered as tacit agreement.

The debugging of the flash delivery lockers is nearing completion, and they will be officially put into use at sunset.

After seeing the installation team off, Zhuang Nian went to find Fei and Zaizi to go home.

On the boundless wilderness...

Fei, holding a bunch of sunflowers, sat on a tree trunk dozens of meters high with two insect babies, facing the setting sun, leisurely swinging his legs.

Even from a great distance, Zhuang Nian could hear the female soldier humming that off-key tune again.

He stood there listening for a while, and after hearing it so many times, he felt that the tune was supposed to be like this, and it actually sounded quite nice.

Fei waved the sunflower in his hand towards Zhuang Nian under the tree, calling to him, "My lord! Come up! Let's look at the stars together!"

The temperature difference between day and night on Earth is significant, and it will be some time before the stars appear.

Zhuang Nian was exhausted and hungry after a long day, and the wind was chilly. He was in no mood to look at the stars, nor did he have the ability to climb a tree that was tens of meters high, let alone the strength to shout at the top of his lungs.

He opened the communicator to have the female soldier carry the insect larva down, when he heard Fei shout again, "Male, catch me! I'm jumping down!"

Zhuang Nian paused for a moment, then looked up.

A tree tens of meters high! The female soldier leaped down! It was truly without warning!

Zhuang Nian instinctively retreated to dodge. At such a height and with such speed, that damned lecherous insect had no sense of proportion; if it rammed into him, it would surely turn him into mincemeat. But…

If I don't act as a human shield, will the horny bug fall to its death?

Without thinking, Zhuang Nian reached out and hugged Fei, who had fallen from the sky, only to realize he had been tricked.

The female soldier's lips curled into a sly smile as she gently but precisely slammed the male insect against the tree trunk. She nestled on his shoulder, kissing his cheek, and whispered, with a hint of smugness, asked:

"My lord, I am a female warrior, and I possess bone wings. What are you worried about?"
