Chapter 48

“Shua——”

Yael turned on the faucet, and the cool water flowed through his fingers. He then splashed it on his face to drive away the remaining sleepiness.

He wiped the water off his face and looked at his face clearly reflected in the bright mirror.

Something seemed to be stirring among the messy hair, and with a slight tingling sensation, he rubbed his bangs on it doubtfully——

The white forehead suddenly cracked into a tiny crack, and two black tentacles suddenly stretched out!

“?!”

Yael's pupils shrank, and he almost wondered if he was hallucinating due to lack of sleep.

Suddenly, the two tentacles seemed to move, swaying left and right as if they had their own consciousness, which frightened Yael so much that he took a step back and bumped into the iron shelf next to him where the shower gel was placed.

"Clang--crack!"

A series of loud noises rang out in the bathroom, followed by a rapid knock on the door.

Xi Ze's voice was serious and urgent. "My Lord? What's wrong?"

Maybe it was because Yer didn't reply for too long and 015 couldn't find the key, Caesar couldn't wait any longer, he just chopped off the bathroom door handle with a knife, pushed the door open and strode in.

The male insect stood there stupidly in the mess, and didn't look like it had fallen or been hit, but there was no guarantee that it didn't have other injuries.

Xi Ze took a step forward, took Yael's hand and turned him around.

"Are you injured?"

Yael, whose shoulders were held, was still a little dazed. He stared blankly at the female insect in front of him. The tentacles in his hair had shrunk back in fear from the loud noise just now.

It was not until it saw Xi Ze and felt the familiar and safe breath that the tentacles poked their heads out again, like two delicate stamens, shaking their heads among the scattered hair.

Xize was also stunned, his eyes fixed on the two tentacles, "Master? You suddenly released the tentacles?"

"I have no idea..."

Yael said slowly, looking a little flustered, his voice trembling slightly, "What is this?"

Xi Ze paused, his expression became a little strange for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "This is... Wait, come out first."

He pulled and hugged Yael out of the mess, let 015 in to clean up, and then pressed the male insect on the sofa with a serious expression.

"This is actually no big deal. Every insect has this problem. But it's only sometimes out of control... It's very simple. Connect your mental power to these two tentacles and you can easily control it."

Yael's breathing was rapid, and he could hardly slow down the pounding heart in his chest. He clenched his teeth tightly, and could hardly suppress the panic and resistance that was overflowing.

But the female insect's patient and gentle guidance brought him back to his senses. He subconsciously followed the steps and managed to retract the restless tentacles.

"It's okay, I have this too."

Xi Ze held down the male insect's clenched fist. The uncontrollable trembling made his heart a little sad. He took Yael's hand and touched his forehead.

Two silver tentacles emerged from the extremely tiny gap, emitting a sharp luster.

They hung quietly, not moving around like Yael's, and were obviously well-trained.

But that area is also very sensitive. When Yael touches it lightly, the two tentacles will quickly retract a little, then slowly extend out again, or even touch the fingertips obediently.

“…”

Yael stared at it for a while, his mind going blank.

He knew that this day would eventually come, or rather, this sleeping body would gradually wake up as he gradually integrated into the insect society and become more like an insect than a "person".

He had been resisting, but when the shock and helplessness faded away, he saw a female insect half-kneeling in front of him, with a worried and anxious expression. In order to ease his fear, it even took the initiative to extend its tentacles to let him play with it.

"…I'm fine."

Yael blinked his sour eyes and did not touch the extremely sensitive tentacles of the female insect. Instead, he leaned over and hugged him, "I'm sorry, I scared you just now."

He didn't have the energy to come up with lame excuses to cover up why he didn't know the tentacles that all the cubs were familiar with, so he was particularly grateful for Xi Ze's tolerance and silence.

"Fortunately, the shelf fell down just now. Is the Lord injured?"

Caesar patted Yael's back lightly, and only heaved a sigh of relief after getting a negative answer, releasing some pheromones to soothe the male insect in his arms.

"No, I'm fine."

Yael murmured.

*

The feeling of suddenly growing tentacles is very... magical.

This thing is like the end of mental power, or in other words, it is the main control point for driving mental power. Using this can control mental power more delicately, and even expand the perception range to an extremely long distance.

The humid mist in the early morning, the aroma of fried eggs coming from a door away, the squeaking sound of ice chips being stepped on outside, and the fluttering of birds in the distant sky...

It's all clearly presented in my mind.

Yael had never been more aware than at this moment of the difference between the Zerg and his original body.

They have humanoid forms, but are alien creatures that can transform into giant insects with flapping wings at any time. If used in the original world, he and Cize are still typical aliens.

Yael sighed, looking somewhat bewildered and frustrated.

Forget it, it's grown, what can I do about it.

Before he could retract the perception he had released, his sensitive tentacles captured the breath of another life form—

Familiar, powerful, vibrant, with an extremely strong presence that dominates all attention.

The two thin soft tentacles trembled, sensing this "outsider" from all angles, and the attached mental power stuck to it.

They smelled the scent of orange blossom in the female insect's hair, the faint bitter scent lingering around them, and the smell of soft and warm muscles when they were a little sweaty, with a hint of clean sensuality.

Smells good, like it.

They say so, completely disregarding the subject's painstaking restraint.

Ah, I was discovered.

They saw a pair of bright and beautiful golden eyes, which showed a sense of helplessness, yet also seemed extremely doting and indulgent.

The spiritual power that was pulled up was immersed in the breath of the female insect, just like being bathed in spring breeze. It completely ignored the wishes of the subject, and entangled stickily between the fingers of that hand, refusing to leave no matter what.

It's so itchy... Uh-huh, I like it... Give me some more... Touch it from head to tail, hehehehe... Uh-huh...

A useless fence-sitter.

Inside the door on the other side of the wall, Yael covered his face and forcibly severed the connection with the spiritual power.

The tips of his ears felt hot, and he washed his face with cold water several times before he managed to suppress the strange itching.

But this thing doesn't feel... so bad?

At least he was feeling much calmer now than he had initially imagined, but that was mostly due to Xi Ze's presence.

Truly integrating into this society doesn't seem to be such a scary thing anymore.

…

Yael quickly found the correct way to use the tentacles on the Star Network.

In addition to being the terminal of mind control, this thing is also a channel for deep mental connection with female insects. The two sides can share moods and senses to a certain extent through tentacles touching each other.

It seems a bit fun.

Yael flipped through the description of the mental link and suddenly became interested when he remembered the cold silver tentacles on Caesar's forehead.

"Let's try a mind link, shall we?"

The male insect in front of him had bright eyes, and was obviously very interested in this proposal.

Xi Ze's Adam's apple moved for a moment, but he still couldn't say no. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay."

The white plush carpet on the floor had been stained by various liquids, washed again and again, and became soft and fluffy after drying. It was a soft nest that could accommodate a snow leopard sleeping soundly on it.

But when Xi Ze saw it, he couldn't help but think of the things splashed on it, and his ears started to burn.

015 was locked in the room without knowing what was happening. Occasionally, he heard clanging sounds while cleaning. He had no idea what the bugs in the living room were doing, but these sounds only added to the tension and weirdness.

"This spiritual counseling should be a little different from the last time. I'm not sure what it will be like, but if you feel very uncomfortable, tell me and don't force yourself to endure it. Got it?"

After receiving a positive answer, Yael curled his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, raised his chin to signal the female insect, "So, shall we start?"

Having just agreed to take a closer look at the antennae, he stared closely at the female insect's forehead, tapping it lightly with his hands on his knees.

A strand of hair seemed to tremble, and then a thin silver tentacle stretched out from it. It seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and drooped down in a semicircle in a somewhat restrained manner.

The shock he felt when he first saw it had dissipated a lot, and he still couldn't quite accept it. But when the tentacle grew on Caesar's forehead, he thought it was particularly cute.

Really... cute.

Yael leaned over, reached out and gently touched the corner, and felt a soft and cool touch on his fingertips.

The two little silver things shuddered helplessly, and curled up like mimosa. After being poked, they shrank even tighter, carefully hiding themselves among the hair of the same color.

He knew how sensitive the tentacles were, so there was no rush to deal with them and Yael left them alone for the time being.

The next second, caramel-flavored pheromones spread, like a can of syrup overturned, flowing everywhere recklessly.

Even though she had been caressed many times and had been immersed in this scent for a long time, the female insect still groaned the moment she smelled it, and her body trembled uncontrollably for a moment.

Xize's breathing became increasingly rapid, and the tips of his ears gradually turned slightly red. When they were touched by fingertips, a warm blush appeared.

"Is it hot?" Yer held his cheek and poked the female insect's rolling Adam's apple, which caused a shudder.

The female insect breathed rapidly, her eyes that were filled with golden fragments dimmed, and she rubbed her face against Yael's knees unconsciously. Her voice was already a little hoarse and choked, with a little sticky nasal tone in the low voice.

But Yael spread his knees and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone, "Don't move, kneel down."

“…I’m sorry.” Xi Ze’s Adam’s apple rolled violently, but he forced himself to remain in the original kneeling position.

But her breathing became more and more rapid, and she couldn't help but catch the scent of pheromones in the air, and secretly rubbed her raised tail against the male insect's feet.

But the male insect was unmoved, and was even unwilling to reach out to comfort the female insect. These self-comforting actions were like a drop in the bucket, and only made the female insect more anxious and miserable.

The pheromones on his body then spread out, a bitter yet mellow aroma like bubbling tea, bubbling up and down, and a strange sweetness appeared on the tip of the tongue the moment it was smelled.

"You can't stand this? I thought you could endure it a little longer?"

Yael raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised. He bent his fingers to lift the female insect's chin, and his index finger naturally stuck into his fangs to prevent himself from being hurt in panic.

"……Um."

Xi Ze's breathing became more and more rapid, and the corners of his eyes were moist and red. The unfamiliar experience of having his teeth held down made him a little stiff, and he was almost overwhelmed with helplessness.

"Good little dog."

Yael lowered his eyes and chuckled.

Xi Ze's breath was choked, his whole body trembled, and a hint of fear and attachment appeared in his wet eyes. After a long while, he hummed inaudibly.

"Why are you rubbing against me? Is it so itchy?"

Yael stepped on it lightly as if as a punishment, and then slowly rubbed it back and forth with force. Sensing an unusual threat, the snow-white tail was obviously a little scared, and it dodged and shrank as if afraid of breaking.

"I just told you to stop moving. Was Xi Ze also such a troublemaker who didn't obey his superiors' orders when he was in the army?"

The male insect sneered without any malice, his eyes full of interest as he stared closely at the female insect's expression, not wanting to miss any interesting changes.

"No. It's not like that... Um, Lord..."

Xi Ze was being pressed on the top by fingers and stepped on the bottom without mercy. His back was instantly soaked with hot sweat. His curled up toes trembled helplessly and clutched the snow-white fur on the carpet.

At this time, 015 seemed to have caught some movement and knocked on the door and asked, "What's that noise outside? What happened to you?"

The sudden sound obviously scared the female insect, and the body under the palm suddenly tensed up, as if she was afraid that 015 would break out and see her predicament.

He immediately forgot who had done such a terrible thing to him and shrank into Yael's arms. However, the force of the tail on him suddenly increased. He showed no mercy to the wolves and tears, like an extremely cruel executioner.

Even though she was badly injured on the battlefield, the female insect never cried out in pain. When she was beaten and tortured in the black market, she never begged for mercy.

But when facing Yael, he would easily feel aggrieved, and then be pressed step by step to the point of sobbing hoarsely, and each time he would have to be held in the arms of a long time before he could calm down.

Seeing him screaming so miserably, Yael took off his shoes and stepped on the tail barefoot, slowing down his back and forth movements.

The foot was white and soft, without any knots. It was like a piece of white jade that had been nurtured by gentle care. It was not like the thick and rough feet of a female soldier that had been honed on the battlefield. It was so delicate that Xi Ze was almost afraid that he would hurt it.

His whole body was soaked. His platinum eyes were moist and clean as if washed with water, and he half-closed his eyes to suppress his rapid breathing.

"Why are you crying?" Yael pulled out his fingers, lowered his body, and rested his head against Caesar's forehead. "Don't be afraid, the door is locked, 015 can't get out."

He gently kissed away the tears on Cize's face, and the moist and salty taste melted on the tip of his tongue.

Cizek held his breath and felt the hot breath sprayed by Yael, and his heart trembled violently because of the soft touch on his face.

But the kiss was just a fleeting one, staying for just a moment before leaving.

"...Can I kiss here?"

With red eyes, he pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Just for a moment."

Yael lowered his head again and kissed him on the lips.

Xize closed his eyes contentedly, no longer asking for more, and meekly opened himself up in the male insect's palm, drowning in the surging waves of mental power.

He felt like a balloon being held in the hands of a playful child, sometimes squashed and sometimes rounded.

The heat and acidity in the body continued to accumulate and were ready to explode at any time. Finally, under a strong squeeze, it burst.

Sweat fell into my eyes, bringing a damp and sour feeling.

Xi Ze didn't care about this, but just said in a low voice, "Master, can't you move yet?"

This time, I didn't have any contact with the male insect during the whole process. I always felt a little suffocated, as if an extremely important link was missing. I felt very uncomfortable. I had to stick close to the male insect and kiss for a while before I felt better.

"Be good, it's not enough yet, wait a little longer."

Yael coaxed him softly, but still did not lift the ban. Instead, he continued to release his mental power.

The female insect's spiritual power source felt the call and was easily hooked out. Although it was as powerful as the female insect, it rolled into a small ball and stuck to Yer's feet.

At the same time, Yael felt a subtle itching on his forehead, and an indescribable feeling swept over his senses.

Looking at the soft corners of Cize's hair that were tense, relaxed, and even slightly twitching, his Adam's apple moved slightly.

think……

Yael reached out and touched the female insect's neck, followed the rolling Adam's apple upwards, and lifted his face up, "Lift your head, dear..."

There were wet traces of tears on Cize's face, and his sharp and cold eyes became soft. He was still breathing rapidly and obediently let Yael manipulate him.

"Don't move."

Yael lowered his head and touched his forehead, and the two tentacles just happened to touch the itchy spot.

They were face to face, and all the changes in their expressions could not escape each other's eyes, so Yael could clearly see the panic that flashed across Caesar's eyes.

Yael narrowed his eyes, allowing the strange touch to slowly break through his skin - and then connected with Caesar's trembling tentacles.

"Hehe... um... no..."

He looked like he was almost suffocating. His Adam's apple moved up and down harshly, and it took a long time for unformed words to come out of his throat.

Yael suppressed his struggle, held his face and closed his eyes, feeling the extreme comfort of the warm current rushing through his body, as if his soul had been cleansed.

And because the mental link has the function of sharing senses, he can clearly feel that the female insect is also comfortable.

And because of the special feedback system, the degree may be a thousand times stronger than his.

Ah, the female insect was so stimulated that she rolled her eyes a little.

Yael severed the mental link with regret, licked his lips with a sense of lingering satisfaction, and held up Caesar's falling body.

He bent his fingers and rubbed the corners of the female insect's eyes, wiping away the moisture on them, like a small caress.

"My Lord..."

Xi Ze had a blank look on his face as he was bullied, but after the male insect opened his arms, he still moved closer immediately, resting his forehead against Yael's knees, struggling to calm his disordered breathing.

To be honest, it really looks like the puppy that Yael raised, which becomes limp and whimpers and acts coquettishly after being caressed. It is particularly interesting and cute.

Yael chuckled, and his heart softened inexplicably.

Thinking back to the momentary panic of the female insect, he calmly asked, "What are you afraid of? Will it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt...it's very comfortable..."

Caesar murmured.

He closed his eyes slightly, buried his face in the male insect's arms, hugged the thin waist through a layer of shirt, and absorbed Yael's body temperature almost greedily.

"That's good."

The feedback from the tentacles was also liking and comfortable. Yael decided not to ask any further questions. He patted the back of the female insect in his arms and waited for him to calm down slowly.

"Bobo." Yael lowered his head and kissed his trembling eyelashes, "Don't cry."

Xi Ze replied hoarsely with red eyes, "...Okay."

The mental link can last for a long time, but the feeling is not as intense as direct contact.

It's like two tails entangled and connected, and they can vaguely sense each other's mood and state.

After feeling the end of the link, he felt a constant stream of sticky feelings, sweet and soft. Yael returned to his room in a good mood and continued to discuss the project with Adelaide.

015 grunted and moved the dirty carpet to be washed.

Xize placed his forearms across his face, his breathing still a little erratic, as he lay on the sofa to calm the fading emotions in his body.

But soon, a barely audible beeping sound came from the computer.

The expression on his face faded and he reached out to pick up the laptop.

[Bai Lang: The situation is basically clear now, and the situation on the royal side has also stabilized. I need you to set a specific time for the uprising.]

Before Xize could reply, another message came hesitantly.

[Bai Lang: You... Does Mr. Male Insect know your identity? Do you need to inform us in advance of this operation? Or do you need to send a special team to protect the Male Insect's safety? ]

Xi Ze was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tightened his fingers.

He had thought about this problem before... but the female slave's collar was accidentally removed, and the relationship between him and the male insect changed. He was so confused in the past few days that he didn't think about this matter at all.

Do you want to tell the male insect?

Xize stared at the computer in a daze for a while, and fell into a rare state of hesitation, looking ahead and behind.

He was not yet ready to tell the male insect about his past identity and the complicated and confusing things that came with it.

He was quite confident of succeeding in this uprising. Anton must have heard the news, but that was not a big deal. There was also the royal family and the nobility... but these were not what Xize was really worried about.

The male insect rejected his proposal without hesitation.

[No, you can take revenge on whoever you want, that's your freedom, I won't stop you, but I'm staying here and not going anywhere.]

Now that I think about it, the male insect's attitude is a little abnormal. It may be because of something that happened before.

After returning to the main planet, we have to find a way to go to the Male Insect Protection Association to get Yael's information.

To be on the safe side, let's keep it a secret from Yael for now.

After making the decision, Caesar and Bai Lang decided on the exact time and discussed tactics for a while.

But in the gap between thinking about tactics, a strange idea suddenly emerged and kept growing like a vine.

Could the huge difference between Yael and other male insects, and his reluctance to return to the main planet, be related to the strange words in the notebook?

Or is it that these three have no direct connection, but are intricately linked to the deepest essence behind them?

And if there really is a hidden truth——

What is the secret of male insects?
