Chapter 18 Zerg World 18 Speak... Alex...
At Frederick's banquet that day, three pieces of news shocked everyone.
The first one was that General Alex Saxon actually announced publicly that he voluntarily gave up his engagement with the perfect male insect Lord Elio.
The second is that after Alex announced that he was giving up the engagement, Sir Ryan who came from the garbage planet suddenly became the witness of General Frederick and Sir Elio.
The third and most explosive piece of news was that after Frederick and Elio were suspected of being engaged, Frederick actually lay down with Lord Ferro in the bathroom closest to the corner of the banquet hall.
And the Lord Elio, who had just been bound to him, was a lonely insect, unconscious in the innermost cubicle. When he was discovered by the insect, his head almost touched the residual water under the toilet.
The exciting scenes and the dangerous and ambiguous relationship between the three insects can be said to have instantly ignited the gossip genes buried deep in the bodies of these insects, who only work and train and have no leisure activities.
Even though the Insect King ordered the news to be blocked on the spot, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. For a time, all the insects on the Imperial Star who had access to the upper class circles were basically discussing this matter.
Even Alex appears in some topics.
"Hey, you know, I heard that General Frederick has actually been in contact with Sir Elio privately for a long time, and they started having an ambiguous relationship a long time ago!
At first, General Alex wanted to fight for it, but Sir Elio was more inclined towards Frederick. Furthermore, General Frederick had recently won a victory, so Alex probably felt that he couldn't win the fight, so he voluntarily gave up the engagement.
"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too. Otherwise, why would General Alex just give up the engagement and then the two bugs get engaged?"
"I just don't know how Mr. Ferro got involved."
"I know a little bit about this. As you all know, my second uncle's eldest cousin's third nephew works in the entry and exit department of Gem Star. He told me two days ago that Master Ferro had left Gem Star for a while and brought back an extra female insect..."
"So, that female insect is..."
"You know, General Friedrich disappeared some time ago."
"Oh shit! So...oh shit! No way! If this is true, then this is too explosive. Both of these A-rank Excellencies are related to General Friedrich. So they were in the bathroom at the time. Could it be that they had a conflict over this matter?"
"If that's really the case, then General Friedrich must be incredibly charming to be chosen by two A-rank nobles at the same time..."
"Compared to this, General Alex feels so pitiful. He's also an SS-rank female insect, but no one chose him. Moreover, he doesn't even have a fiancé now..."
“…”
In the silent observation room, the sound of insects in the corridor can easily be transmitted into the room due to the gap in the door that is not closed tightly.
Chu Sicheng, who had just had his blood drawn and was waiting for the test report, listened to the gossip that occasionally accompanied the footsteps outside. His eyes fell on the female insect on the sofa, whose face was getting darker and darker. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time pursed his lips hard.
"Laugh if you want to." The female insect's faint voice came.
"puff--"
Chu Sicheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Feel sorry,"
The male coughed twice to cover up his mistake. "Actually, I was just laughing at the joke on my brain."
"Really?"
"Fake."
Chu Sicheng held his chin with one hand, his blue-gray eyes full of mockery.
"What can I do, poor Alex? After hearing what they said, I'm starting to feel sorry for you."
Alex glanced at him speechlessly, "Really?"
"It's fake." Chu Sicheng still admitted it very readily.
On the one hand, it is because he does not know what it feels like to be heartbroken, and on the other hand,
"Isn't this a good thing for you?"
The male insect leaned back on the soft pillow, with his left leg pressing on his right leg, and swayed his raised toes towards Alex.
"For other female insects, not having a male to choose from might be a terrifying thing, but for you, Alex, it should be something you would love to have."
"After all, you hate male insects so much."
The male insect who almost died at the hands of Alex some time ago blinked and gave him a standard eight-tooth smile. Even his voice was unusually light and cheerful. Just by listening to it, one could feel the certainty in his tone.
"Isn't it, Alex?"
Alex heard Chu Sicheng ask.
“…”
Yeah?
If it were in the past, Alex would probably nod yes eagerly when he heard the beginning of this question.
After all, at that time, he was so disgusted with male insects that he would feel physically uncomfortable when he heard the name of this gender.
But now…
Alex raised his eyes and looked at Chu Sicheng.
Because blood needs to be drawn for testing, the male insect only wears a loose pure white short-sleeved shirt on his upper body. His fluffy and soft platinum hair hangs down, covering his smooth and full forehead, but also making him look more well-behaved than usual.
But Alex knew that beneath the male insect's well-behaved appearance, he hid a soul that was more perverse and rebellious than any other insect.
He was completely different from any male insect he had seen before.
Although to some extent, he may be more arrogant and condescending than those male Zergs, his disdain and disregard are not only directed at female Zergs, but... the entire Zerg race.
So, although it was a bit weird, in the eyes of the male insect in front of him, it seemed that they had really reached a state of equality among all beings.
And this is exactly what Alex, who has always been scrutinized and looked down upon by others, wants.
In addition, at the banquet and even in the earlier meeting, only the male insect stood beside him and extended the hand he had longed for.
So, is it annoying?
Still hate male insects?
Alex moved his lips silently, his eyes flickering slightly, but the word "yes" could not be uttered from his mouth.
Why is this?
Alex blinked twice, and his fingertips unconsciously placed on his chest, feeling the heartbeat below, which was getting faster and stronger. In a trance, it seemed as if something was breaking out from inside.
He still hated male insects, but it seemed that he didn't hate them that much.
"you……"
Alex finally spoke after a long silence.
But he didn't know whether it was not appropriate for him to speak today, or for some other reason. Just when he finally sorted out his thoughts and was about to answer Chu Sicheng's question, the doctor who suddenly came in interrupted him directly.
"Hello, Mr. Ryan, your blood and genetic reports are out."
The female insect in a white coat pushed her glasses up her nose, paused, and said:
"According to the test results, the pheromone concentration in your blood is still at a very high standard. However, perhaps because you haven't yet undergone a second metamorphosis, your genetic grade is still F."
"This phenomenon is indeed quite rare, and the hospital doesn't have many case references, so before you undergo a second metamorphosis, you may need to make a few more visits to the hospital for observation."
"Oh, and..."
The doctor thought of something and continued, "Because your blood pheromone concentration and genetic level are currently too mismatched, the hospital recommends temporarily withholding your genetic report and not submitting it to the Male Insect Protection Center. What are your suggestions?"
The doctor was still a little nervous when asking this question.
After all, if the male insect's genetic report is not submitted to the male insect protection center, it means that the male insect protection center cannot screen out female insects that match him based on his genes. In this way, the male insect cannot go on blind dates, let alone find a female monarch or female servant to take care of him.
This is obviously disadvantageous for a male insect alone on the imperial star.
What the doctor didn't expect was that Chu Sicheng not only had no objection to his proposal, but even agreed with it wholeheartedly.
After all, as the protagonist who saves the world, how could he be stopped from carrying out his mission by an activity like a blind date!
Chu Sicheng felt that the hospital's decision was too humane, but Alex, who was sitting next to him, didn't think so.
"You think this is just the hospital's advice?"
The female insect, who had long seen through the Empire's intentions, sneered, "Believe it or not, even if you disagree, the Male Insect Protection Center will not accept your genetic report."
Because they were weighing the pros and cons, they were afraid that after matching Chu Sicheng with a pair of C-level or D-level female insects, he would become S-level. They were even more afraid that after matching Chu Sicheng with an S-level or SS-level female insect, he would still be F-level.
Thinking of this, Alex looked at Chu Sicheng,
"What are your plans now?"
Chu Sicheng was puzzled, "What plan?"
About Felo and Friedrich?
"About yourself!"
Alex was so disappointed with his performance, "Have you ever worried about your second transformation?"
As we all know, the secondary metamorphosis process of male insects is very painful and extremely dangerous. It is for this reason that the number of male insects in the empire is so small.
Besides, Alex frowned and said, "Aren't you worried about what happens if the transformation fails?"
Judging from the series of things Chu Sicheng has done recently, if he is not the S-level that the empire expects after his second metamorphosis, then not to mention Ferro and other insects, even the Insect King and his female father may not let him go.
Just thinking about these things made Alex's face look much more serious.
However, compared to Alex's anxiety, the male insect sitting next to him didn't care so much that he even opened the Candy Crush game on the computer.
After a loud "Unbelievable" that made the insects furious, Chu Sicheng said calmly:
"What can I do? Just let it sit."
Not to mention that he already knew that he could successfully transform, even if he didn't know, the result of the second transformation was not something he could control, so there was no point in worrying about it now.
Chu Sicheng, who had been retaliated against so many times by the poor boy Mo Qi, was very open-minded.
But Alex, who was a villain for the first time, was not as open-minded as him.
"Aren't you worried at all that you'll still be F-rank after your second transformation?"
"Don't worry,"
Chu Sicheng looked at Alex who looked anxious, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he joked:
"If it's still F-rank, then I'll go back to Garbage Planet and continue picking up trash."
"How can you go back to picking up trash?!"
“Why can’t I go back to picking up trash?”
"If you go back and continue picking up trash, then I—"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the female insect froze instantly when she realized what she had said. Then she wanted to avoid the stupid question that she had almost blurted out without thinking.
However--
"What are you talking about?"
At this time, the relentless insect turned into Chu Sicheng.
The tip of the tongue licked the lower lip, and the cat, whose body was filled with the scent of citrus, narrowed its eyes slightly and fixed its gaze on the prey in front of it that had no way to escape. Its eyes were slightly curved, and its red lips parted slightly.
"Come on, Alex, what about you?"
