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

Zhuang Nian was completely dumbfounded, stunned, and bewildered; he was completely frozen in place.

Although he distrusted Fei, Fei was still the God of War. If he said Fei was unreliable, he would really prove Fei unreliable to himself.

Zhuang Nian asked Fei sternly, "Where's the brat?"

Fei pursed her lips and lowered her eyebrows, showing Zhuang Nian the two red coal balls huddled in her arms. Why were they red? Because they were sticky and covered in blood.

Zhuang Nian felt a mouthful of blood choke in his throat. As anger surged, he slapped him hard across the face, cursing, "Useless!"

The male insect slapped the target with tremendous force, almost using all its strength.

The female soldier staggered from the blow, her head tilted to the side, and she immediately knelt on one knee. With her torn lips pressed together, she said with deep remorse and guilt, "I'm sorry, Master, it was my fault."

Zhuang Nian swore! He never wanted to have any further entanglement with this useless female soldier in his life! Otherwise, he wouldn't be human!

Zhuang Nian didn't know where the two cubs were injured, how badly they were injured, or whether they were still breathing. He didn't dare to move them. After removing the pheromone suppression bracelet from his wrist, he carefully touched the cubs with his hand. What he touched was a patch of cold, sticky blood.

Zhui Qi, who was following closely behind, was also taken aback when he saw the two bloody balls in Fei's arms. He carefully said to Zhuang Nian, "Lord Zhuang Nian, let me do it."

He had served on the battlefield and was not related to the two insect offspring. He was the best choice to provide first aid in this moment of anxiety and panic among the insects. However, the male insect was currently angry. Would he refuse to help because of his relationship with the female soldier?

She was prepared to be rejected, scolded, and treated coldly, but...

Zhuang Nian immediately stepped aside and said to Zhui Qi, "Quick!"

This shows that the male insect is a very rational and restrained insect. His choices always seem to be based on seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and he never acts on emotion.

The mask on Zhuiqi's face moved slightly, and he felt an inexplicable surge of goodwill towards Zhuang Nian. He squatted down and quickly examined Zhuang Nian for a while, only to discover...

The two baby insects weren't injured at all!

Zhuang Nian hurriedly asked, "Then where did all this blood come from?" After asking, he subconsciously looked at Fei.

I hadn't noticed before, but now I see that the female soldier's face and lips are extremely pale, and the hand holding the insect cub is covered in blood.

Zhuang Nian narrowed his long eyes and saw that blood was still seeping from Fei's sleeve. He belatedly realized that it was Fei who was injured!

Fei noticed the astonishment in his master's eyes. He straightened his knees even more, slightly raising his chin to reveal a torn corner of his mouth, and guiltily corrected himself for what had just caused the misunderstanding:

"I'm sorry, my lord. I failed to protect the insect babies and frightened them."

Zhuang Nian looked at Fei's torn lips, clenched his fingers, and felt that he was the one who should feel guilty and blame himself.

At the opportune moment, Qi handed the two frightened insect babies, who were curled up in a ball, to Zhuang Nian: "Lord Zhuang Nian, the insect babies are fine, they were just a little frightened. The captain's injuries also need to be treated. Let's go back to the spaceship first."

On the way...

Zhuang Nian carried the baby insect ahead, while Qi Qi, supporting Fei, followed at a leisurely pace, asking him in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why are you doing this?"

Fei smiled and said, "You figured it out?"

Zhuiqi: "I've followed you for so many years, I don't believe a mere gust of wind could hurt you like this, so why?"

Fei: "The ruler is always so calm, self-controlled, and rational. There is an intractable thorn between us. I really want to repair our relationship, but he never gives me a chance. I can't even bring myself to ask for forgiveness. If I don't do that, it's hard for him to soften his heart towards me."

Zhui Qi sighed softly: "So you not only deliberately injured yourself, but also said things that caused a misunderstanding, leading Lord Zhuang Nian to attack you?"

Fei pursed her lips: "I dare not gamble on how much the male master cares about me, but I know that the male master is a very principled and virtuous insect. Since he misunderstood me, he will definitely make it up to me, whether it is out of guilt or self-blame. As long as he softens his heart towards me, then I will have a chance to take things further."

He paused slightly as he spoke, then asked Qi Qi, "Is the injury on my lip almost healed?"

The female soldier has extremely strong healing power. In particular, Fei Baoluan's mental power had long been cured by Zhuang Nian's pheromones. He is now in his prime, and the small tear at the corner of his mouth is not worth mentioning at all.

Looking at Fei's face, Qi said to him, "You're completely healed, only your face is still a little swollen."

Fei nodded, reached out and pressed the bloodstains left at the corner of his mouth with his index and middle fingers, then stretched the two fingers apart outwards, and a new crack appeared.

Zhui Qi stared in disbelief, then hissed and asked, "...Are you sure Lord Zhuang Nian will soften his heart?"

Fei remained silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "I'm not sure."

Entering the spaceship...

Zhuang Nian washed the two frightened insects in warm water, then frowned as he looked at the pool of red blood.

After treating Fei's shoulder injury, Qi came out and saw Zhuang Nian sitting on a chair, holding two insect babies and deep in thought. He walked over and carefully asked, "...Lord Zhuang Nian, what should we do now?"

The wind was still blowing outside, and the whole sky was yellow.

There's no need to calculate it in detail; just one look at the equipment used for dismembering corpses and the delivery lockers is enough to tell you that all that hard work and effort over the years has been in vain.

Zhuang Nian wasn't in a bad mood and calmly asked, "Have today's orders been shipped out yet?"

Seeing the male insect so calm, Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "There's still a third left that hasn't been released..."

Zhuang Nian: "First, take photos and post them in the group to explain the situation to everyone. Then, send an apology letter, refund all the orders that were not sent out, and remember to make the compensation as promised."

The mask on his face moved slightly: "Lord Zhuang Nian, this is due to natural causes, and I think everyone will understand. A refund will suffice; apologies and compensation are unnecessary, right? We just received new equipment, and we don't have much money left in our accounts..."

Zhuang Nian knew he was going to lose a lot of money, but the customer's understanding was his business, and keeping his word was his business. In business, reputation is the most important thing, and a merchant without integrity is not fit to do business.

Zhuang Nian didn't explain further, saying, "Just do as I say."

He felt it was unnecessary. With the influence of the black-haired male insect, there were plenty of insects willing to spend money to pay for him. Why pretend to be rich when you're not? Why lose money in the end?

However, given Zhuang Nian's uncompromising nature, Zhui Qi didn't dare to say anything. After discussing some follow-up details with Zhuang Nian, he nodded and left.

After Zhuang Nian and the others left, he carried the baby insect towards the rest room.

The room was small, with a bed and a row of wardrobes. The female soldier, wrapped in bandages, knelt on the floor, occupying all of the male insect's view.

Zhuang Nian sat down by the bed and silently looked at Fei.

Fei had imagined hundreds of scenarios for their reunion in the past half day, but she never expected it to be like this.

Unsure of Zhuang Nian's thoughts, he whispered an apology: "I'm sorry, my lord, I..."

Zhuang Nian interrupted him: "Why didn't you finish your sentence and cause me to misunderstand?"

This question is incisive and direct. Fei looked up and saw the male insect scrutinizing her. Her heart skipped a beat. She said with utmost sincerity, "It is indeed my fault that the little pests were frightened. Whatever you do to me is the right thing to do."

Zhuang Nian looked into Fei's eyes and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit down."

Fei got up and sat down, looking at the little insect still trembling in Zhuang Nian's arms, her eyes reddening.

Zhuang Nian handed the two still-shaken cubs in his arms to Fei. After watching Fei carefully take them, he gently stroked the cubs' trembling little bodies and soothed them softly.

Thinking about it, no matter what, the female soldiers' heartache for their babies must be genuine.

Zhuang Nian continued to ask Fei, "How did your shoulder get so badly injured? Should you see a doctor?"

Hearing that his powerful master was finally concerned about him, Fei hurriedly shook his head, feeling flattered, and said, "It's nothing, I'll be fine in a bit."

Zhuang Nian nodded, his gaze fixed on Fei's eyes: "Why isn't your lip healed yet?"

Fei stared at Zhuang Nian's left eye the whole time, then weakly shook his head and said, "I don't know."

When the male insect said that he blinked a lot when he lied, Fei went to consult a psychology expert in the military.

The expert told him that if he wanted to trick an insect without being caught, he should look at its left eye.

This will give the other person the illusion that you are making eye contact, and it will also reduce the pressure you feel when being scrutinized by the other person.

Fei looked into Zhuang Nian's left eye. His gaze was clear and his frank and open demeanor made Zhuang Nian squint slightly, wondering if he was being too suspicious.

Fei felt particularly aggrieved.

Although he used some underhanded tricks, seeing his master interrogating him like a criminal from beginning to end, showing no remorse, remorse, or pity, and not even the most basic concern, he felt anxious and angry, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Zhuang Nian was stunned for a moment, thinking that no matter what, it was a fact that he had wronged the pervert and slapped him. He gave up asking questions, did not apologize, and naturally could not be said to have been soft-hearted.

Fei felt heartbroken about this; by a twist of fate, it had become a real grievance. Holding the baby insect listlessly, her eyes were filled with desolation.

After Zhuang Nian finished dealing with matters on Blue Star, it was already dark. On his way back to the main star in his spaceship, the two insect offspring, who had been calmed down by their female parent with their spiritual power, hid under the covers, reaching out their claws to grab Zhuang Nian, too afraid to come out.

Zhuang Nian tapped their little heads and looked at Fei, who was fast asleep under the covers.

The female soldier's mouth was completely healed, and the bandages on her shoulder had been removed, with only a few bruises indicating that she had been injured while saving the babies.

There were still tear stains at the corners of Fei's eyes, so she must have been crying again.

Zhuang Nian, as if possessed, lowered his head to kiss Fei's face, lightly touching the corner of his mouth with his lips, and rubbing the spot where Fei had been injured before with his thumb. He felt a little regretful, a little guilty, and for no reason, a touch of heartache.

Fei opened his eyes groggily, and the first thing he saw was his own powerful and handsome face. He was stunned.

Zhuang Nian hadn't expected Fei to suddenly open his eyes. He pursed his lips awkwardly and asked, "Does your injury still hurt?"

Upon hearing her master's voice, Fei felt aggrieved. She hugged Zhuang Nian's neck and shook her head, tears streaming down her face, calling out to him in a thick, nasal voice, "Master..."

Zhuang Nian's heart softened. Avoiding Fei's injured shoulder, he hugged him tightly, wiped away his tears, gently stroked his lips, sighed softly, and sincerely apologized to Fei:

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. How about I slap you too?"
