A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

***********

......

The termite colony's home planet is a forest planet.

In the official Zerg registration, this planet is called Aldan, but ordinary Zerg usually prefer to call it Giant Wood or Termite Planet.

The planet is very close to the central star, has a good environment, a unique ecosystem, and is rich in resources.

The termite race's ability to occupy such a rich and habitable planet so close to the central star is roughly equivalent to having carved out a district within Beijing's Second Ring Road; they are considered a prestigious clan among the insectoid races.

The environment on the termite planet is truly excellent, with a green coverage rate of up to 90%. There are almost no large areas of rock or soil to be seen, and the planet is covered with towering giant trees.

These tree species have been selected and bred by termite tribes over generations. They are often hundreds of meters tall, and their trunks require several or even dozens of people to encircle. They serve as both food and shelter for termites.

The enormous tree canopies connect with each other high in the sky, forming a green canopy that almost covers the entire sky, filtering most of the sunlight into soft beams of light that fall on the open ground beneath the tree trunks.

Termites have a unique digestive system that allows them to break down and absorb cellulose in wood. They chew on twigs just like humans chew on biscuits; it's an indispensable staple food.

The trunks, branches, and leaves of these large trees are all sources of nutrition for the termite race. As long as the termite planet is not destroyed, the termite race will not go hungry.

Although individual termites are weak, their sheer numbers make them powerful, a legacy left to their descendants by their ancestors.

Thanks to the unique ecology of the termite planet, they also have unique tree sap drinks, and they also brew wine.

In some well-maintained forest areas, you can often see drainage channels inserted into the trunks of trees, where precious sap rich in sugar and nutrients slowly drips into containers placed below, becoming the raw material for brewing specialty drinks or making high-grade nutrient solutions.

I don't know if introducing birch trees to the termite planet is feasible, but birch sap tastes pretty good.

Some particularly large trees have doors and windows on their surfaces, and many termite colonists prefer to live in these unique treehouses built inside the tree trunks, rather than on the ground.

Giant trees form the termite planet.

Here, life and nature coexist in a magnificent, harmonious, and symbiotic way.

Minister Greta and Zhao Zheng's spaceship passed through the atmosphere, and all they could see was a green expanse with almost no other colors.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled; this was his home.

This was the first time Zhao Zheng had ever seen such a planet, and he gaped, exclaiming, "Wow..."

This boundless green, originating from a vast life system, is truly breathtaking; humans are a race that loves green.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled again, operated the center console, contacted Star Harbor, and requested a parking space to stop.

The spaceship slowly landed at the designated starport location.

The termite colony's starport is also very unique. It is a hollowed-out space in a giant tree, which is used to land deep into the forest and land on the ground.

As the spacecraft landed, the view outside the window was breathtaking, passing through a vast forest from top to bottom.

Standing in this vast forest, one naturally feels one's own insignificance and the power of nature.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

Looking around the Star Harbor, all you can see are towering trees.

Bai Zhenzhu touched Zhao Zheng's chin and smiled as she said to him, "Husband."

"Welcome to Termite Planet."

......

They had just landed at the planet's starport when White Pearl received a message that termites from the main ant colony were coming to pick them up.

Zhao Zheng was a little nervous. He immediately straightened his back and subconsciously adjusted the formal suit he had specially made for this trip: "Is there something wrong with me?"

Bai Zhenzhu adjusted his tie: "You look very handsome."

Zhao Zheng's chest lifted an inch.

Great, his clothes are all in order, he looks very reliable now!

The hatch slid open, and Minister Greta led him down. Moist air carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees rushed in through the open hatch, and Zhao Zheng subconsciously took a deep breath.

The air quality is excellent.

Lyrnia has every kind of planet imaginable, and its resources are incredibly abundant.

There were already insects waiting below the spaceship.

The one in the lead looked quite old, with deep wrinkles on his face.

The Zerg's appearance only shows signs of aging in old age; this one is probably over 150 years old, in the last quarter of its life.

This elderly man was dressed in the attire of an old butler, well-tailored and made of fine fabric, and he also wore a single gold-rimmed pair of glasses.

Every button was fastened meticulously, and his posture was respectful. When he saw Minister Greta bringing Zhao Zheng down, he immediately addressed him as Second Young Master.

"Second Young Master, welcome back to the clan's territory."

The old butler bowed.

Before Minister Greta could say anything, Zhao Zheng stepped aside.

They were talking about pearls, and he felt embarrassed to accept such a gift from the old steward.

Minister Greta didn't react in any special way; he was already used to it and simply nodded.

Sensing that Zhao Zheng was a little flustered, he turned around and explained to Zhao Zheng: the current head of the termite colony is his cousin.

So he really is a young master.

Then Minister Greta introduced Zhao Zheng to Linni, the master's steward, who had served the family for many years.

Then he turned to the old butler: "Linnie, this is Mr. Zhao Zheng, my lord."

The old butler immediately gave Zhao Zheng a standard master-servant greeting: "Mr. Zhao Zheng, welcome to Ardan. You must be tired from your journey. Please accept the service of your servants."

"Oh no, no, no, no..." Zhao Zheng immediately bowed to him, "No need to be so polite, thank you so much!"

Minister Greta smiled and said to the old butler, "Zhao Zheng has a very good temper. Just act as usual. There's no need to be so overly respectful."

The old butler wiped his sweat: "Okay."

Then the old butler went to arrange for the servants to move the luggage and prepare the hovercar, while Zhao Zheng and Pearl just had to stand aside and wait.

Zhao Zheng was still a little nervous. Looking at Pearl beside him, who had a normal expression, he suddenly felt that his White Pearl was even more noble and aloof.

He couldn't help but lean closer to Pearl and whisper to confirm, "Young Master, is your house really that big?"

Minister Greta glanced at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes, and retorted, "Otherwise what?"

Zhao Zheng said, "I thought it was just an ordinary large family, but I didn't expect it to be the family of the clan chief."

The hovercar was already ready at the old butler's place. Minister Greta pulled Zhao Zheng toward the hovercar, saying, "It's too late for you to regret it now. Let's go, we're already here."

Zhao Zheng was being led forward by him, still processing the news.

Waaah, it seems like meeting the parents this time is more complicated than he thought.

Perhaps, maybe, possibly, perhaps, he could be considered to have married into a wealthy family?

Good heavens, this is truly a case of the ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.

......

The termite family's hovercar picked them up and drove them to the manor.

The scenery on Termite Planet is unique, a blend of nature and technology. Roads wind through the forest, with many houses built on the canopies of enormous trees on both sides, and covered bridges spiraling down the huge tree trunks.

As they drove along the road, they could see many doors and windows on the tree trunks. Insects peeked out of the windows to look at them, and other insects fluttered their wings as they flew past the covered bridge.

Zhao Zheng and Bai Zhenzhu drove a separate car, giving them some privacy.

Zhao Zheng was a little nervous, but Bai Zhenzhu reassured him that everything would be fine.

Zhao Zheng was still a little timid and asked, "Is your cousin fierce?"

A patriarch who runs such a large family must not be very kind, right?

Minister Greta said, "Not fierce."

"Are your father and mother fierce?"

The father-in-law and mother-in-law probably wouldn't be very satisfied with a son-in-law from another ethnic group, right?

"How aggressive can termites be? They're all quite reasonable."

Zhao Zheng felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

Sometimes, a calm and reasonable leader can be more intimidating than a fierce one.

He comes from a humble background, and all he has to offer is a handsome face that can make him somewhat likable.

No, he doesn't even have a good face; he's not exactly handsome. Luckily, this time they specially hired a top human designer to make him a formal suit.

Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse; this should enhance his appearance.

He kept adjusting his clothes.

Minister Greta smiled again, tugged at his tie, and said, "You already look very handsome. You really don't need to be so nervous."

Zhao Zheng's tie was ripped off. Normally, he would have been excited, but now he couldn't feel excited at all. He felt like he had a nail stuck in his buttocks, making him restless and unable to sit still.

He didn't want to be nervous, but he just couldn't control it.

Sigh, I miss those powerless, furious netizens on the internet. He's a winner when it comes to netizens, but when it comes to Pearl's family...

Waaah.

Zhao Zheng said, "I have an average appearance..."

"Cough cough!" Bai Zhenzhu was just about to drink some water when she heard this and choked and coughed.

Zhao Zheng looked at him blankly.

Bai Zhenzhu's expression was strange. Her gaze swept over his face, which was handsome enough to be considered so by any intelligent creature's aesthetic standards, with its well-defined features, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes. She then looked at his tall and upright figure, which was wrapped in a well-fitting suit, with broad shoulders and long legs.

Nearly two meters tall, with a good temperament, regular facial features, and an upright posture—"Ordinary Appearance".

Minister Greta's lips twitched.

He felt that Zhao Zheng's self-awareness was really lacking in some aspects.

What does he think about all day long? Who told him he was plain-looking? What exactly is his definition of "plain"? What would be considered extraordinary? Like the Crown Princess?

The Crown Princess is at the top level in the interstellar realm, okay? If she weren't at the top level, how could she have made the top-tier, looks-obsessed, scaly-winged prince fall in love at first sight?

He even began to suspect that Zhao Zheng was speaking using a sophisticated rhetorical technique that he had not yet mastered.

Didn't he learn all human languages? Are human languages ​​really that difficult to learn?

Zhao Zheng felt a little uneasy under his gaze and touched his face uncertainly, asking, "...What's wrong?"

Minister Greta took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him about this issue they couldn't agree on: "It's nothing, you're fine."

Sigh, now that Zhao Zheng is his man, it doesn't matter what others think, good or bad. As long as he thinks it's good, that's all that matters.

Give up on correcting it, let's just give up.

If Zhao Zheng says it's just average, then it's just average.

What an ordinary-looking person!
