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

Due to the skewed male-to-female ratio and the difficulty of conception, the birth rate of insect offspring is extremely low.

In the Zerg race, there is no concept of contraception. Even if a male Zerg does not like the female's offspring, he will still think that having many offspring is a good thing.

So why do black-haired male insects go to such lengths to prevent pregnancy?

Fei couldn't understand it.

When Zhuang Nian returned, Fei was sitting on the lawn in front of the house. It was late at night and the dew was heavy. Zhuang Nian picked up the dazed Chong and hugged him to his arms, with a large bag of ingredients hanging from his wrist.

"Why are you sitting here? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Fei hooked his arm around his master's neck, looked at him with slightly cool eyes, and said nothing.

Zhuang Nian thought that his late return had upset his lecherous wife, so he explained, "I was held up by something. Tonight we're having hot pot, all your favorite dishes."

They got along very well during this period; the atmosphere was not just harmonious, it was incredibly warm and cozy.

Fei was placed on the sofa by Zhuang Nian and watched the male insect wash his hands and roll up his sleeves to prepare the ingredients. Unusually, he did not help and said, "Master, I want to get pregnant."

Zhuang Nian paused, his hand still holding the cutlery, before resuming its normal motion: "Aren't two little ones enough of a worry for you?"

Fei: "I want a male baby insect..."

Zhuang Nian placed the cutlery on the table, the clinking of the knife and fork making a crisp sound: "Has it been so long, and you still haven't gotten rid of your preference for men over women?" His tone was slightly deep, with a hint of displeasure.

Fei gripped the animal skin spread on the sofa tightly with both hands, looked down at her unconsciously curled feet, and said, "I want to marry you, I want to be your queen..."

After they reconciled about the past, their relationship gradually returned to normal.

Especially during this period, Fei curbed her willfulness and jealousy, and lived a very sweet life with the male insect.

To everyone else, they seemed like a perfect couple, but only Fei understood that Zhuang Nian had never truly accepted their relationship.

The black-haired male insect probably felt that he was a willful, stubborn, and extremely self-centered insect, so he felt that he was not a good match.

Fei was also very self-aware. Although he was extremely anxious, he didn't dare to take the initiative or mention marriage. Now, he suddenly said this without any prior warning or preparation, which meant that something must have happened.

Zhuang Nian walked over and sat down next to Fei, asking, "Did something happen?"

Fei lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse: "When will your test of me finally end? In your heart, have I never truly passed?"

Zhuang Nian: "..."

Fei: "You won't let me get pregnant, and you don't want to marry me, so what is our relationship? I call you 'Master' every day, selfishly possessing you. Do you think I'm shameless and unreasonable, just like those other worms outside?"

Zhuang Nian: "..."

Fei: "Am I annoying right now? Do you think I'm just being difficult again, causing trouble for no reason?"

"..." Zhuang Nian: "Can you tell me what happened first?"

Fei looked up, her vertical pupils filled with grievance and sadness, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ya Ci told me that the grass outside can prevent pregnancy. I want to know if that's true?"

Zhuang Nian pursed his thin lips and frowned slightly.

Fei understood and stood up, saying, "Then I'll transplant some of those grasses inside the house. With the walls and windows in between, wouldn't it be troublesome if they were planted there?"

The female soldier acted immediately, grabbing a shovel and starting to transplant the grass in front of the house. In no time, the neatly trimmed lawn became bumpy and uneven, as if it had been chewed by a dog.

Fei, carrying a flowerpot, his fingers covered in mud and his nails full of hangnails, asked Zhuang Nian, who was watching him from the sofa, "Where would you like to do this with me? I'll put in a few more pots. Let's tear up the bedroom floor and plant grass, that way we'll be safer."

As he spoke, he swung the giant sledgehammer to smash the bedroom floor, but was pulled back.

Zhuang Nian dragged the sulking female soldier to wash her hands and discovered that the wound on her finger had completely healed. The dirt was wrapped in the newly grown tender flesh, leaving a dark red mark like bruises.

Zhuang Nian frowned, took a razor blade, and cut along Fei's fingernails to clean out the dirt. He quickly disinfected the wound and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Fei nodded and said softly, "It hurts, but it hurts my heart, not my hands."

Zhuang Nian frowned, reaching out to grab the medicine, only to find that the bleeding wound had already healed.

Looking at the male insect that seemed to care for him so much, Fei felt that everything in front of him was a joke. He even wished that the male insect had never been kind to him, so that he wouldn't cling to that unrealistic fantasy and wish for it like an idiot every day.

As night fell, Zhuang Nian turned on the living room light, put his arm around Fei's shoulder, and said, "Let's talk."

Fei laughed.

Talk? Talk about what? What's there to talk about?

In any case, no matter what they talk about or how they talk, the male insect will eventually use his reasoning to convince himself that he is the one in the wrong, that he is already in a bad mood, and that he doesn't want to reflect on himself anymore.

Fei removed his master's hand from his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, I was too emotional. I will reflect on it. You can have dinner by yourself. I'll go check on the insect babies."

After he finished speaking, he went upstairs, giving the male insect a particularly resolute back view for the first time.

Things have come to this point, and no matter what, the sub-female cannot be allowed to stay any longer.

Zhuang Nian tolerated him before because he was useful. In the face of absolute interests, Zhuang Nian could turn a blind eye to some trivial matters. But he obviously didn't know his own limitations. The consequence of overstepping his bounds was that he could only pack his bags and leave.

The submissive woman, unwilling to lose this well-paid, respected, and free job, knelt on the ground, crying and begging Zhuang Nian: "Lord Zhuang Nian, I just like you so much that I said some stupid things in a jealous argument with Commander Fei. Please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again, sob~"

Zhuang Nian asked him calmly, "Who is he? Who are you? What gives you the right to be jealous of him?"

After saying that, she didn't bother to look at him anymore and said to Zhui Qi beside her, "You personally escort him out and don't allow him to take anything related to this place, especially the recipes."

Zhui Qi was initially worried that Zhuang Nian would be soft-hearted towards this submissive woman, but upon hearing this, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I will handle it."

The submissive woman was now truly on the verge of tears, crawling on her knees to hug Zhuang Nian's legs. "You were the one who brought me back from the slums, I don't want to go back to that place! I don't want to! Please, Lord Zhuang Nian! Please!"

The woman was crying and wailing, her voice hoarse and strained. She covered his mouth and dragged him out like a dead dog.

Fei had long since stopped caring about the existence of the sub-female, so he had nothing to say about Zhuang Nian's handling of the matter.

What he's concerned about now is why his master wants to use contraception? What is the reason behind it?

Fei is an emotional person by nature, and he is extremely sensitive to matters of the heart. However, Zhuang Nian is not the kind of person who can coax Fei with sweet words. His rationality and reasoning will only make Fei more and more stubborn.

Because emotion and reason are destined to be in opposition.

After Zhuang Nian once again earnestly expressed his desire to have a serious talk with Fei, only to be rejected, the male insect's patience ran out. He frowned and asked the female, "Can't you be a little more mature?"

Fei shook his head and said, "Unless you marry me and make me the queen, and agree to let me get pregnant until I give birth to a male insect offspring."

Zhuang Nian: "..."

He was so angry he was speechless.

Putting aside the issue of marriage, just consider how precious and rare male insect offspring are. What if they can't conceive? Are they just going to keep breeding forever?

Raising a child is not as simple as just feeding them. You have to care for them, love them, protect them, and carefully teach them. The effort and energy required are truly remarkable.

Zhuang Nian, as the only son in his family, has grown into the upright person he is today thanks to the careful guidance of three generations: his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father.

Based on Zhuang Nian's own experience, he understands very well how much effort it takes to raise a child, let alone the fact that he already has two children.

And to be honest...

Zhuang Nian didn't want to become a pile driver to take care of a pregnant insect anymore; it was a nightmare in his life, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Fei, not receiving a reply from Zhuang Nian, tugged at his sleeve, her eyes red, and cried, "My lord! Speak! Speak!"

Zhuang Nian had nothing to say and told Fei very clearly, "These two insect offspring are enough for me. If you want to have more, go find other insects."

Fei was immediately stunned, gripping Zhuang Nian's sleeve in disbelief, and roared like a madman, "What did you say? What did you say? You want me to have a child with another insect? Don't you care about me at all? You think I'm lying under another insect, pregnant with another insect's child! You don't care at all? Huh?"

Zhuang Nian's face was tense, and he was also angry. He almost blurted out that he didn't care, but he stopped himself when the words were about to come out.

The female was emotionally out of control, and the male was on the verge of going berserk. They were no longer suitable to continue the conversation, nor was there any need to continue it.

Zhuang Nian pulled out his sleeve, turned around and left, but was hugged from behind.

"My lord! Let's get married, okay?" Fei sobbed, clinging to Zhuang Nian's back, pleading desperately, "Let's get married, okay? I'm so scared! So scared of losing you! My lord! I'm begging you, please?"

Zhuang Nian didn't think Fei was in a good position to get married. As he pushed open the door, he heard a loud crashing sound behind him.

Zhuang Nian, who is always rational and never controlled by emotions: "..."

After the male insect didn't return to the hot spring resort for several days, the female insect calmed down and regretted her impulsive actions. She cooked some hot soup and came to the office to find the male insect.

A contract lay open on the table. Fei immediately spotted the surname "Coulson," quickly skimming through the document before asking, "My lord! Do you intend to cooperate with him?"

Zhuang Nian knew something was wrong as soon as he heard Jun Ci's voice, so he looked at him.

really……

Fei said excitedly, "I have a grudge against this family! You can't cooperate with them!" With that, he tore up the contract in his hand, scattering the shredded paper all over the floor.

Zhuang Nian: "..."

"Who don't you have a grudge against?"

"A mighty ruler..."

"Tell me, who don't you have a grudge against?"

"My lord, please listen to me..."

"Get out!" Zhuang Nian pointed at the door. "Now, immediately, right now, get out of here."

Fei's eyes welled up with tears, "Xiong..."

Zhuang Nian slammed the pen in his hand directly into his face and shouted sharply, "Get out!"

-

Fei stared blankly at her own reflection in the mirror, her eyes wide with rage and her spirit broken. After a long moment of stunned silence, she slapped herself across the face.

Wake up!

Fei said to himself.

The two insect babies on the bed shifted restlessly, and after crying out "Wah!" their claws turned into tender little white hands, finally completing their final evolution.

The twins looked exactly alike, with black hair, golden vertical pupils, and eyebrows and eyes that were exactly the same as their own.

Fei sniffed and wiped away her tears. She washed the remaining membrane off the two cubs' bodies, fed them, and used her mental power to coax them to sleep before starting to pack her things.

Anything that belongs to me, anything that reminds me of male insects, I threw into the trash can.

Fei stood naked at the door, startling Shul and Joni who came to greet him.

"Give me some clothes," the female soldier said coldly, her expression devoid of emotion.

Shul hurriedly turned back to the spaceship to grab a blanket and drape it over his commander. Joni pulled out a pair of slippers and asked him with some concern, "Commander... what... what happened to you?"

Fei glanced back at the two little ones sleeping soundly on the bed, shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's go."

-

When Zhuang Nian returned, the two cubs were crawling all over the place and crying loudly. He searched every nook and cranny but couldn't find Fei anywhere.

Zhuang Nian looked at the empty wardrobe and washbasin, and said irritably, "Don't come back if you're leaving!"

later……

A week has passed.

Two weeks have passed.

Three weeks have passed...

The molten worm never came back.

Zhuang Nian: "..."
