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

This party was hosted by the military, with the aim of selecting volunteers from male insects with high bloodlines to appease female soldiers whose mental states were in turmoil.

Almost all male insects of grade B and above have arrived.

Without a doubt, Zhuang Nian was selected the moment he appeared, which made the other male insects, who were always overshadowed by him, very unhappy.

In fact, Zhuang Nian didn't want to waste time on these things, but recently the Male Insect Protection Association has been urging him to get married and have children. Seeing that Fei was no longer a shield, Zhuang Nian had to make more contributions to the Empire to show that he had other uses besides having children.

Zhuang Nian climbed the steps, when suddenly he heard an insect overhead shout, "Ah...!"

All the insects looked up and saw a shadowy figure flying down from the second-floor platform. Zhuang Nian glanced at it and saw half of a frosty, cold, and beautiful face.

Without thinking twice, he quickly reached out to take it.

At a height of over ten meters, if a male insect were to rashly try to catch a suddenly falling heavy object, it would likely be severely injured, if not killed.

Fei didn't have time to think. He grabbed the railing and was about to jump down to save his master when he was bumped.

Bino, who had been watching the whole thing from the shadows, used all his strength to hold onto the somewhat agitated Fei tightly, pushing him behind the curtains where he couldn't see him. He then punched Fei hard in the chest and cursed him angrily:

"You impulsive idiot! Lord Zhuang Nian must be blind! He must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to have fallen for a moron like you!"

Just then, several more hunched-over insects rushed in through the side door. Johnny and Shul, while helping Bino drag back the struggling Fei, shouted urgently, "Captain, hurry! The Coulson family's insects are here!"

The castle where the party was held is thousands of years old, with countless secret passages, and the steps with fine cracks have been worn into irregular corners by countless footsteps.

A swooping insect flew down and pounced on him, dragging the male insect along as they tumbled rapidly down the hundred-odd steps...

Zhuang Nian groaned and instinctively pulled the insect that had bumped into him into his arms, protecting its head in his crook of his arm. He thought that although the female warrior's healing ability was strong, it would still hurt. He forgot that he was just an ordinary mortal, not even as resilient as a sub-female warrior.

The flesh slammed onto the cold stone steps with a dull thud, causing the onlookers to gasp in surprise!

The male insects jumped for joy, praying that the perfect, jealous black-haired male insect would die! Die!

Tu Nan, who was closest, and a group of female soldiers rushed to stop them. Their anxious appearance moved Nian Yuan, who was standing nearby.

Zhuang Nian suffered severe abrasions, his forehead and the back of his head were covered in blood from rolling on the sharp, broken steps, especially his hands that were protecting the insects, which were a bloody mess and a terrible sight.

Curry, who was firmly protected in his arms, was completely unharmed.

"Lord Zhuang Nian!"

"Lord Zhuang Nian!"

"Lord Zhuang Nian!"

The insects were in a flurry of activity. Tu Nan hurriedly told the insects to call for medical help. He pushed away the female insect in Zhuang Nian's arms and picked up Zhuang Nian, who had fainted due to a severe head injury.

Nianyuan looked at his wife, who hadn't given him a smile in two years of marriage, and saw her showing such concern for another male insect in front of everyone. Despite the ridicule and whispers from the other insects, Nianyuan clenched his fist, walked up to Tunan, and said to him, word by word:

"Put him down, or I'll abandon you."

Tu Nan was stunned, and tightened his grip on Zhuang Nian's hand. In the moment of hesitation, Nian Yuan pointed at him and said to the male insect protection association that had rushed over, "I want a divorce, right now."

Tu Nan was stunned. In the brief moment of his confusion, Fei, who had reappeared in front of the insects behind the marshal, snatched Zhuang Nian from his arms.

This is probably why Fei can't let go of Zhuang Nian...

Apart from the female father, no other insect would protect him as unconditionally as the black-haired male, even at the cost of his life.

-

Curry was stunned when the male insect protection association took him away afterwards.

Although she is a female, she has no problem jumping from a building that is more than ten meters high.

His original intention was to fabricate the illusion that Fei had pushed him down the stairs, causing him to fall and get injured in front of the insects, hoping to gain their sympathy and pity, and also to get to know Fei and the black-haired male insect. Who knew that Zhuang Nian would actually catch him without regard for his own life!

Curry felt wronged. He wouldn't dare to hurt a male insect, especially an SSS-level male insect that the Empire regarded as its most prized possession.

He pointed at Fei, who stood behind the marshal with a frosty expression, and said, "It was him! He pushed me! He slapped me! He made me fall down the stairs! I didn't mean to hurt Lord Zhuang Nian! I'm innocent!"

This is military territory, everyone's definitely on Fei's side, they'll all be giving him their testimony. (Asking Curry:)

"Commander Fei was with the Marshal all night. When did he hit you? And when did he push you off the building?"

Seeing that he was in trouble, Curry didn't dare accuse the Marshal of giving false testimony. Instead, he blurted out to the Male Insect Protection Association, "It was Lord Zhuang Nian who saved me! I didn't ask him to save me! This has nothing to do with me! Nothing to do with me!"

Oh, he might as well just say the marshal forged documents!

When Zhuang Nian was working in the military, he had an excellent reputation. Especially since he founded Blue Star Fruit Manor, his relationship with the military has become better day by day.

The female soldiers present had all patronized Zhuang Nian's business and were all his fans. Curry's words were particularly ungrateful, especially since they were directed at Zhuang Nian...

The female soldiers, not good with words and unable to hurl insults, immediately rushed forward and beat Curry so badly that he looked nothing like Fei, and even his biological father probably wouldn't recognize him.

After this happened more than a dozen times, the marshal waved his hand to stop it: "Enough! What kind of behavior is this!"

The Male Insect Protection Association also pretended to pull Curry away, ignoring the Coulson family's pleas, and took him back to the punishment facility.

Thinking back to when Fei Gang and Zhuang Nian got married, the male insect only made a mistake and caused the kitchen alarm to go off. Fei was whipped dozens of times with a light whip, while Zhuang Nian was completely unharmed and even took the initiative to negotiate with the male insect protection association to say that it was not Fei's fault.

now……

Zhuang Nian was in a coma in the hospital all night. When he woke up in the early morning, Curry was barely alive.

Outside the ward...

Unable to see Zhuang Nian, Curry's adoptive father, Beda, said to Fei, "Doesn't Lord Zhuang Nian dote on you? Why aren't you going to plead for your brother?!"

Fei: "If he loved me, he wouldn't have abandoned me."

Beda was both angry and convinced that this was the right thing to do: "Just like your useless female father! You couldn't even keep the male's heart after having two offspring! You deserved to be abandoned!"

Fiji:"……"

Beda sneered, "Hand over your military merits and property, and I'll offer them to Lord Zhuang Nian to ask him to forgive Curry."

Fei: "Everything I have belongs to Mr. Zhuang Nian. I am penniless after the divorce, and I gave you my only house. If you want money, you'll have to wait until I get my salary."

Beda scoffed, "When Lord Zhuang Nian divorced you, he didn't ask for a single penny and returned all your dowry. The whole empire knows that. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Fei: "It's all just rumors. Have you ever seen a male insect return its dowry after a divorce? All of it? You actually believe such a ridiculous thing?"

Beda frowned: "So, you wretched insect, you just won't help?"

Fei: "From the moment you kicked me and my father out of the house, we had no relationship anymore. It's really not my place to interfere in your family affairs."

Beda frowned, about to slap Fei across the head, but Fei dodged, and she angrily said:

"You dare to hide? Don't forget your name is still on the family register! I'm still your nominal father! Believe me, if you anger me, I'll sell you to some old, ugly male as a slave?"

The ward was soundproof, so Zhuang Nian couldn't hear what the insects outside were saying. Judging from the tense atmosphere, things didn't look good.

Zhuang Nian glanced down at the two babies sleeping in his arms and let Fei in.

"...Lord Zhuang Nian."

The female insect had never addressed him so formally before. The male insect glanced at him but said nothing.

Fei handed Zhuang Nian a property transfer document, which clearly stated in black and white that all his military merits and property would be given to the two cubs, and that guardianship would be given to Zhuang Nian.

Zhuang Nian wasn't interested in these things and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

Fei nodded, and without hiding anything, told Zhuang Nian all about his past misdeeds...

"When I was little, I was disliked by my father. As far back as I can remember, I never had a full meal. At that time, my father would always punish me for various reasons, and I didn't know what I had done wrong..."

"Later, the male father died in the bed of a female slave, and Beda thought that the female father and I were wasting food, so she kicked us out of the house..."

"After my father returned to the military, I had a good period of time, but not long after, he was killed in battle..."

"I thought that after so many years, we would have nothing to do with each other anymore, but I never expected that after Beda kicked me and my father out of the house, she would not remove us from the family register. My name is still on the Coulson family register..."

Fei hesitated for a moment, her eyes reddening slightly, and said, "So I hope you can accept this property transfer agreement on behalf of the insect cubs. These are things I risked my life for, and I really don't want them to benefit other insects."

Zhuang Nian: "..."

He had never known about Fei's past, nor had he ever thought of learning about it. Although he had learned some things from the internet before, they were just fragments and did not evoke much empathy.

Now, seeing him peel back the layers of his past wounds for me to see, I suddenly understand how he developed this unpleasant personality.

Fei's tragic childhood shaped his stubborn and obstinate nature. Hatred made him paranoid, self-centered, radical, and inflexible. Because he did not receive a good education, he was always impulsive, easily angered, and emotional. He did not know how to be flexible or how to communicate properly.

He always appears cold, but deep down he longs for love. Therefore, he cherishes old feelings because he treasures the hard-won happiness and small joys.

He tried his best to grasp the happiness he had in his hands, but his personality was so sharp and insecure that he didn't trust any insects or feelings, which made Zhuang Nian, whom he liked, always feel tired and weary.

Ultimately, Fei is just a pathetic creature who has never received love, doesn't understand love, and desperately craves it.

Zhuang Nian was born into a noble family, with his parents and elders coming from prominent clans. Although he was strictly disciplined, his family atmosphere was healthy and harmonious, and he had never even heard of the hardships Fei had endured.

Zhuang Nian recalled Fei's erratic behavior that day, tearing up the contract. At the time, he thought Fei was utterly unreasonable and acting irrationally. Now, understanding the reason, he asked:

"Is this why you don't want me to cooperate with the Coulson family?"

Fei nodded: "Mm."

Zhuang Nian: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this connection."

Fei shook his head: "I never said that. It's understandable that you don't know."

Zhuang Nian looked at him and asked, "Does that household registration have a significant impact on you?"

"Hmm." Fei said helplessly, "My female father is just a female servant, while Beda is a female ruler. To him, I am just an object that he can dispose of at will. Even if he wants to sell me, I have no right to refuse."

Zhuang Nian: "...Sell?"

Fei: "Hmm, sold to old and ugly male insects as female slaves."

"..." Zhuang Nian: "Isn't there any way to get him to close his account?"

Fei shook his head, his shoulders drooping, looking even more helpless than before: "Unless Beda volunteers..." But that was simply impossible.

Zhuang Nian thought for a moment, then asked Fei to bring over the insects from the Male Insect Protection Association. After this series of negotiations...

The Male Insect Association agreed to Zhuang Nian's request, but on one condition: "After it's done, you have to date the insects in these photos, choose the ones you like, marry them, and have them breed."

Before Zhuang Nian could speak, Fei shook his head and refused, saying, "No way!"

The Male Insect Protection Association scoffed, "Then you can just stay on the Coulson family's register and wait to be sold."

Fiji:"……"

Zhuang Nian said to the Male Insect Protection Association, "Actually, the point isn't how many insects I marry, but just that I produce male insect offspring, right?"

Male Insect Protection Association: "Only by marrying more women can you have a higher chance of producing more offspring, and only by producing more offspring can you have male offspring."

Zhuang Nian pointed at Fei: "Can I just have a baby with him?"

Male Insect Protection Association: "Are you really going to stick to this one thing?"

Zhuang Nian: "He has the gene for twins and can lay double-yolk eggs. If he gets pregnant with a male insect offspring, there might be two."

"..." The Male Insect Protection Association suddenly became slightly interested and asked Fei, "What do you think?"

Fei pursed her lips and glanced at Zhuang Nian, but said nothing.

Male Insect Protection Association: "Commander Fei seems a little reluctant."

Zhuang Nian was very confident: "I will win him over."

The male insect protection association felt something was off, but couldn't quite put their finger on it: "What if they can't catch them?"

Zhuang Nian: "I'll marry whoever you tell me to marry."

The male insect protection association was satisfied: "Deal."

Zhuang Nian's head injury hadn't healed yet, and he was a little tired after talking for so long. After the insects from the Male Insect Protection Association left, he covered the two sleeping babies with a blanket and reached out to Fei, who was sitting next to him: "Come here."

Fei didn't go over and asked Zhuang Nian, "Weren't you going to pursue me?"

Zhuang Nian "..."

"I'll be waiting." Fei stood up and said to Zhuang Nian before leaving, "I hope to see your sincerity."

Zhuang Nian: "..."
