I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.

Sensing Marshal Anaos's curiosity, Mikel pursed his lips and answered truthfully, "Not yet, it's probably related to plant cultivation."

"Oh," Marshal Anaos stroked his chin, giving a curt reply. Although he knew that plant cultivation skills were very useful to the Empire, he wasn't particularly interested in them. He concluded by reminding him, "Mikel, you should be back at work in two days. Don't forget."

"Yes, Marshal."

After he finished speaking, the video call was disconnected, and the study fell silent instantly.

Mikel leaned back in his chair, his hands resting on his lower abdomen, his blue eyes staring blankly out the window.

Marshal Anaos's words kept echoing in my mind.

…………

When Cheng Chu woke up from her afternoon nap, she opened her eyes groggily and saw the unfamiliar room. It took her a while to realize what was happening while hugging the blanket.

They moved; this is their new bedroom.

Cheng Chu was the only one left on the bed; Mikel was nowhere to be seen.

There was a glass of water on the bedside table to the left, which Mikel had prepared so that he could drink it as soon as he woke up.

Cheng Chu, who was thirsty after waking up, drank a glass of water.

"Beep beep!"

The personal computer on the bedside table beeped, indicating that a communication call had come in.

Cheng Chu was puzzled. He didn't know many people in the Zerg. Besides Mikel, who else would contact him?

He put the water glass back on the bedside table, picked up the personal computer from the bedside table, and turned it on.

I could barely make out that the text above read "Male Insect Protection Committee".

The caller ID tone kept ringing, and Cheng Chu raised his hand to tap the answer button on the screen.

"Greetings, Mr. Chengchu. This is the Male Insect Protection Committee. We sincerely apologize for disturbing you with this call!"

A respectful voice soon came from the other side, identifying itself as a worker from the Male Insect Protection Committee.

Cheng Chu had just woken up and was still a little groggy, not fully conscious. He asked blankly, "What...what do you want? You're looking for me?"

"Mr. Chengchu, it's like this. Did you receive the message from our Male Insect Protection Committee yesterday? We haven't received your feedback for a while, so we're calling you today to verify the situation."

"Huh?" Cheng Chu racked his brains, trying to recall what he had received yesterday, but he couldn't remember anything. He truthfully replied to the other end, "What message? I didn't receive anything?"

Cheng Chu couldn't recall receiving any messages in the past two days.

The person on the other end paused for a moment, clearly encountering this situation for the first time as well. However, he quickly added, "Lord Chengchu, informing you now will have the same effect."

"We understand that you have only registered one female ruler—Mikel—at the marriage registration center so far. According to the Empire's marriage policy, an S-rank male insect can be matched with at least one female ruler and five female servants. The marriage matching center has already matched you with forty-two female insects with a match value greater than 85%. Our working insects will be arriving at your residence soon with information on these forty-five matched female insects."

You can choose five female insects from these forty-five to serve as your female attendants. We need you to provide a time slot, and we will come to your location to provide this service at that time.

"Wait!" Listening to the unending barrage of words from the other end, when they mentioned the empire's marriage policy of one female ruler and five female servants, Cheng Chu nearly thought he'd misheard. He was startled awake. His eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? You want me to choose five female insects—"

Realizing he was speaking too loudly and afraid Mikel would hear, Cheng Chu glanced at the ajar bedroom door to make sure Mikel wasn't there. He lowered his voice.

He whispered, "You want me to choose a female insect to be your servant?"

"Yes, Mr. Chengchu. May I ask when you are available?"

While discussing the issue of female servants with other insects behind Mikel's back, Cheng Chu felt inexplicably uneasy, even though Mikel wasn't there. He firmly refused, saying, "No, I don't need any female servants, not a single one. You don't need to come over!"

Without even asking his opinion, they rushed to find him concubines, and five at that! What kind of nonsense is this? Cheng Chu kept complaining in his mind.

Upon hearing Cheng Chu's refusal, the person on the other end gasped, then became anxious: "Lord Cheng Chu, this is the rule, it won't work. S-rank male insects must have at least five female servants. Please cooperate with our work."

Even male insects that aren't S-rank, but have a slightly higher level of mental strength, will have at least three or four female servants. Other S-rank male insects have even more, with some having a dozen or twenty female servants.

The only working insects I've ever encountered are S-rank males who are extremely picky about the females they're matched with, making extremely demanding requests. But I've never seen someone like Cheng Chu who refuses without even being picky. It's harder to satisfy someone who doesn't make any demands than to make them.

Cheng Chu had no idea what the working insect on the other side was thinking. He insisted, "I don't need female servants. You can't come to my house. I won't allow it!"

"Okay, we understand." The other end of the line changed the subject, saying, "Lord Chengchu, may I ask why you don't want a female servant? Are you being threatened by your lord? If so, we will take coercive measures against him, so don't be afraid."

His words were spoken with righteous indignation, as if Cheng Chu had been coerced by Mikel.

Cheng Chu was speechless: "..."

Cheng Chu was shocked!

It feels like the other person can't understand human speech.

"No! I wasn't coerced!" Cheng Chu was getting impatient. He casually made up a story: "I just don't like it. There are too many bugs in the house, and it's too noisy."

"Your Excellency Chengchu, you really don't need to be afraid of your lord. If you don't like him, you can leave..."

Cheng Chu coldly interrupted him: "Shut up!"

The other side seemed stunned and fell silent for a moment.

"My husband is wonderful, I love him very much, and I will never, ever divorce him!"

Cheng Chu's tone turned serious, clearly indicating that he was already angry.

After a while, the person on the other end apologized hesitantly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Cheng Chu..."

"In short, I will not allow you to come to my house."

After saying his last sentence, Cheng Chu, unwilling to listen to any more of the idiotic talk from the other end, immediately hung up the call.

The room was unusually quiet without Mikel. At this moment, Cheng Chu desperately wanted to see Mikel.

Stepping out of the room and into the empty corridor, Cheng Chu called out to Mikel.

"Wife?"

"Female?"

The study is located on the second floor, some distance from the bedroom on the third floor.

Cheng Chu couldn't find it on the third floor, so he went down the stairs to the second floor.

"Wife? Mistress?"

Looking at the time on his personal terminal, Mikel estimated that the male insect was about to wake up. He got up, walked to the door, and just as he opened the study door, he heard the male insect calling for him.

"Wife? Where are you?"
