Agares placed the ginger behind him and stood horizontally in front of him, saying in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Si paused behind him, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Why are cheap husbands so desirable?

Jiang Si was intrigued for a long time before finally saying, "I'm not afraid. I'm just curious. How can he still laugh after his head has been cut off? What's the difference between the crown prince of the insect race and an ordinary insect?"

Unfortunately, a piece of her face, which looked exactly like his, was torn off, leaving her face covered in blood.

Otherwise, having her prince's face on her back and letting out a grotesque laugh amidst the withered branches and rotten leaves would be truly terrifying and unsettling.

Agares showed no emotion whatsoever; his cold, deep, and rigid voice sounded mechanical: "The Zerg are a matriarchal society, and the queen governs their system."

"Queen?" Jiang Si stepped forward to stand beside Agares. "You mean my darling... ugh, you mean Crown Prince He Yan, that woman?"

Wow.

Was I flirted with by a woman?

What kind of human suffering is this?

fine……

fine……

Not only did he flirt with her back, but he also cut off her head.

It's not a loss...it's not a loss.

Agares glanced at Miss Ajahn, his eyes darkening, his voice becoming even more indifferent: "No, the Zerg Queen reigned for 500 years, and none of her daughters survived, only her sons."

"To put it simply, the system they have now is exactly the same as the bee system. He Yan's position in the Zerg is equivalent to that of a drone in the bee system. Do you understand now?"

The bee system?

Bees live in colonies.

There are three different forms within a bee colony.

Queen bee.

Male bee.

Worker bees.

In a swarm of bees.

The queen bee is female, there is only one of her kind, she is larger than other bees, and she is solely responsible for reproducing. All the other bees obey her commands.

Drones have fully developed reproductive organs and are only responsible for mating with the queen bee; they die after mating.

Worker bees are numerous. They are small female bees with underdeveloped reproductive organs, responsible for collecting pollen, making nectar, and feeding larvae and the queen bee.

The Zerg's social system is the same as theirs, meaning that the Queen cannot support the females, so she spawns many drones.

"I have another question?" Jiang Si felt her mind had completely wandered off course, so she raised her hand and asked Agares like a cute little girl eager for knowledge.

Agares gathered a ball of light in his palm and looked away: "Ask away."

Jiang Si pointed at He Yan: "According to what you just said, the Zerg are currently operating within a system similar to that of bees."

"If the queen can't ensure the survival of the females born, how will their race reproduce? By the queen alone?"

My goodness.

How big is the Queen's belly?

One child worth 10.8 billion?

Agareth's hand suddenly felt itchy, and he really wanted to flick her forehead. What kind of nonsense was she thinking? Her face was covered in greasepaint, but it couldn't hide her ever-changing expression.

“Levels.” Agares rubbed his fingers together to relieve the itch, and explained casually, “Their social system is exactly the same as that of bees, but not exactly the same. They are evolving.”

"Just like we have mental and physical evolution levels, they don't have a queen during the evolution process. The high-level male bees take the place of the queen, allowing the low-fertility worker bees to give birth to the children."

"However, the children born are worse than the first generation. The first generation tends to be human, like humans, but the later generations are more and more like insects, and eventually they become insects, without any rationality."

“It’s a matter of probability.” Jiang Si got it: “The process of the Zerg’s reproduction is very similar to your empire, each generation is worse than the last, their mental strength is unstable, and their genes are collapsing, right?”

“Yes.” As the light of the empire and a national idol, Agares never denied what had become a fact, and he was always willing to admit mistakes and facts: “It’s a matter of probability, which is why they eat plant growers who have plant-related abilities.”

Jiang Si blinked hard, the topic had changed so abruptly that she was caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally asked, "Eating a plant grower with plant-related abilities doesn't just give you power, right?"

Agares' lips pursed, his eyes darkening further: "Of course, eating you not only gives me power, but also allows the next generation of yours to surpass me."

"The higher the level of the plant grower who eats the plant, the more human-like the next generation will be. Especially someone like you, a level 7 pure plant healer, is extremely rare and unique among all races. Eating you could very well result in the birth of a new queen."

Ginger shreds: "..."

So she's not just a dish on He Yan's dinner table anymore.

When the entire Zerg race saw her, they all wanted to eat her as a snack.

Eat her, and a new queen will be born?

Damn it!

Who can endure the suffering of this world?

"Ahem!" Jiang Si coughed lightly, moved a little closer to her prince, and asked timidly, "How many insects does the Zerg have now?"

A swift, lightning-fast smile flashed across Agares' dark eyes: "The middle-level beings are close to humans, numbering around 5 billion. The lower-level beings are countless insects, easily numbering in the tens of billions. The higher-level beings number 100 million, and those even lower than He Yan are probably only a few million."

"He Yan's level of mental strength and his reproductive ability are said to be second only to the Queen, but he has not reproduced with any females with low fertility!"

hehe!

I can't live like this anymore.

She had to conceal her identity as a level 7 plant healer and be careful not to become an imprisoned planter.

She also has to keep her identity a secret from her cheap husband so he doesn't know she's his wife, otherwise she'll have no powerful backer after a divorce.

They also have to worry about their fertility score of 100 being discovered, and being taken to a laboratory to be paired up and have children.

Now, she's become a dish on the table, a meal that every Zerg player wants to eat?

Human suffering.

It's beyond exciting!

That's absolutely fucking awful!

"So Your Highness, how can we make them unable to smell my scent?" Jiang Si trembled slightly involuntarily. Did she have to smear some stinky tofu on it? Stinky tofu hadn't been seen in the interstellar era.

"Don't be afraid," Agares reassured her in a calm voice. "He Yan brought people in this time because they probably managed to get here by chance during their attack on Cor Star."

"If we wipe them out today, this kind of thing won't happen again when I guard the planet Kor. As long as you are in the Troia Empire, you don't need to be afraid of any Zerg, nor do you need to worry about becoming their dinner."

"Okay, I promise I won't run around."

Just as Jiang Si made her promise to Agares, the severed head on the withered branches and leaves suddenly flew up from the ground and hung in mid-air. Two streams of bloody tears flowed from its golden eyes, and its face, missing a piece, was hideous and terrifying. Its mouth opened and said, "I'll let you take a bite out of me, just a small bite. If you don't want to, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Jiang Si shoved the Tang sword in her hand into Agares's hand, and a green willow branch appeared in her palm. She looked into his golden eyes and said, "Baby, it's your own fault for not being sincere enough. You didn't even show me your face, so how can you blame me first?"

He Yan's headless corpse came to life, reached out and crushed the head hanging in mid-air, saying like a willful child, "It's your fault, it's your fault, it's all your fault."

The head was crushed, and the blood that spurted out was absorbed by He Yan's body.

With a whoosh.

He Yan's bare upper body and blood-soaked back extended a pair of black, cold-glowing bone wings, each several meters long.
