Chapter 49: Little Yell is still young, so I don’t know how old he is.
The tenth elder brother was relatively young and didn't know much about Sixth Brother's affairs. He was a little surprised when he heard this: "Fifth Brother, why is Father so anxious to choose a leader for Sixth Brother?"
Lao Shi remembered that when the sixth brother was still a minor, news of the incident had already spread from Xiong's father.
It stands to reason that a prince will never have trouble finding a husband. Even the least favored prince is still a member of the royal family.
The Fifth Prince sat on a soft chair, looking somewhat resentful. "It's because the Sixth Prince had a good female father. The male father cherished him for decades, and then died, and he couldn't let go."
Lao Shi exclaimed "Ah" and was a little surprised.
There are quite a few male insects on the Star Network who set themselves up as affectionate insects, but how can they really be so affectionate? Most of them are fake, otherwise how could they take in so many female servants.
However, male insects can also be affectionate, such as the gentleman from the Dennis family.
But there are many male insects in the Dennis family, and they are not so strict about offspring. It is understandable that a male man marries fewer women, as long as he can give birth to male cubs.
Lao Shi has never seen a male insect who is so fond of a female insect that he even loves the female offspring born by the other party.
"My father is so affectionate!" Old Ten's eyes were full of stars. If only his future leader could be half as affectionate as his father... no, at least one tenth as affectionate!
The fifth child scoffed, "What's there to envy? If the sixth child didn't look 90% like his female father, even if he looked a bit like his male father, he wouldn't have loved him to this extent."
Lao Wu heard from his female father that although his male father doted on Nans, he would not exempt her from punishment if she made a mistake. Once, he beat her until her skin was torn in front of many female servants and slaves.
Now that the bug is dead, Xiong's father feels that he was wrong in the past and that he owes his beloved. He puts all his love on the sixth child and is reluctant to scold or punish him. He has become so spoiled that he doesn't know his place.
The fifth prince secretly curled his lips. In fact, his father was not as affectionate as he had imagined.
…
Planet N-112, inside the Enamel Military Academy.
The three-month deadline has passed and Muas has not returned yet, but little Yael can't wait and is eager to crawl out of the eggshell.
Lin Xi thought that a baby insect breaking out of its shell was just like a chick breaking out of its shell. It had to go through untold hardships to peck a hole, then use all its strength to crawl out of the egg, and it also needed the help of the hen to comb it out before it could open its eyes and see the world.
But that's not the case with little Yael.
The eggs have grown to a size that an adult insect needs to hold with both hands, and are placed in a makeshift nest made of piled blankets.
After detecting signs of hatching, Bidi invited Linxi and several other insects over and asked the godfathers to witness the hatching process together.
The eggshell swayed from side to side, the frequency getting higher and higher, almost leaving an afterimage, as if there was a bug punching inside the eggshell.
It was so lively and powerful that Parker and the others' guess came true at this moment.
"It's so lively and powerful, it must be a female."
Bidi's face was filled with the radiance of having a bug cub. Hearing this, he didn't show any strong emotion. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fine if it's a female cub. If it were a male, it might not even be able to be born."
This is indeed the case. The male cub is very weak and does not receive good care in the pregnant female's womb, so he dies prematurely.
Even if the baby is born, it will not be able to successfully break out of the shell without the nourishment of the father's breath and medical assistance.
After hatching, there is also very complicated feeding work. The male cubs are really very fragile and may die if you are not careful.
Female cubs are much stronger than male cubs, and they do not need external help to break out of their shells.
If a female cub doesn't even have the ability to break out of its shell, then there is no need for it to exist in this world.
Survival of the fittest, the weakest will survive and the weakest will be eliminated. Such inferior genes can only be eliminated.
As he was speaking, the banging sounds inside the eggshell became clearer and clearer, and suddenly, a crisp "click" sound was heard.
The surrounding insects immediately held their breath, and the sounds of insect eggs cracking became more and more frequent.
"Click"
A tiny insect claw pierced the eggshell and poked out from the top.
The eggshell slipped off, and the insect claws poked upwards, revealing a hole that became larger and larger. The tip of the insect claws was completely exposed, and it shook left and right, as if it was groping for something, or as if it was sensing the surrounding breath.
Lin Xi reached out and touched the tip of the claw. The little insect claw seemed to be frightened and shrank back in a flash.
Lin Xi looked up and saw three pairs of eyes looking at him in condemnation. Lin Xi withdrew his hand awkwardly.
However, not long after, the tiny insect claw poked out again. This time, there was no insect to touch it. The insect claw sensed for a long time, seemed a little lost, and retracted into the egg.
With two "bang bang" punches, the eggshell broke into two halves.
One of them had a wet head mixed with egg white, but it couldn't hide the exquisite and cute little insect baby that was revealed in front of the other insects.
"babble……"
Parker covered his chest, looking extremely excited and his heartbeat was accelerating.
Xander also exclaimed: "How cute!"
Biddy looked at the insect cub with a loving gaze and a very gentle smile in his eyes.
Lin Xi was inevitably surprised by the cuteness of the insect baby. He had never seen such a delicate and delicate baby just after birth.
Bidi took the baby insect out of the eggshell, cleaned the liquid on its body with warm water, and dressed it in soft clothes. It was beautiful and cute, and looked especially like the Fuwa in the New Year pictures.
Little Yeller nestled in Biddy's arms, waving his insect claws wildly. The insect cub had just been born, and the mutated insect claws could not be retracted properly, as if they were about to poke the insect in his arms.
But the baby insects have just hatched, and their claws are tender, not even as hard as cardboard, let alone the ability to hurt other insects.
"Is he hungry?" Sander asked, seeing little Yeller's anxious look.
Biddy took a milk fruit from the prepared food plate, poked a hole in it and put it near little Yeller's mouth.
Little Yeller opened his mouth and sucked the juice from the milk fruit, looking a bit ferocious, but in the eyes of the big insect, he was obviously very cute.
"He does look very hungry," said Biddy.
The hungry little Yael was very well-behaved, but only for a moment. After taking a big sip of milk to soothe his empty stomach, he began to toss and turn again, struggling to leave the arms of his female father.
"Does he want something?" Parker looked in front of little Yell in confusion, but he didn't find any toys that would attract the bug cub.
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yeer's movements, and it seemed that he was waving towards him. He subconsciously reached out and touched the tip of the insect's claw, and the quick-eyed and quick-handed insect cub grabbed his finger.
When he caught what he loved, little Yell calmed down, nestled obediently in his mother's arms, and began to drink the sweet and delicious milk and juice in front of him. You could even see his feet raised occasionally.
All of this expresses the insect cub's joy.
Parker was almost jealous to death. When little Yeller was still an insect egg, he only let the eldest brother touch the eggshell. Now that the shell has broken out, the first insect he wants to find is still the eldest brother. How can the eldest brother be so lucky!
Sander said with some envy, "Little Yael really seems to like the boss."
Parker glared at him: "You don't need me to tell you, I can see it clearly."
Sander said, "Parker, don't be jealous. It's better for little Yael to like the boss than for him to like other insects."
Biddy lived with three other roommates and had a decent relationship with them, but Parker didn't know them very well, so when little Yael broke out of his shell, he didn't invite them over to watch.
Parker rubbed his chin and said, "Although what you said does make some sense, I still feel a little unhappy. What should I do?"
"It seems there is no other way to deal with your unhappiness. Do you dare to beat up the boss?" Sander said.
Parker shrank his neck and said honestly, "I wouldn't dare to do that."
Xander shrugged.
After Biddy fed the insect cub milk and juice, little Yeller burped and his breath had a milky aroma, but he still held Linxi's fingers tightly in his hand.
Seeing that the little bug really liked Linxi, Bidi was considerate and put little Yael in Linxi's arms.
Holding it in my arms, it is so small, soft and sweet.
After hatching from the shell, little Yeller looked very similar to Biddy, with soft golden hair sticking to his face and a pair of sky-blue eyes staring at him. His eyes were round and big on his palm-sized face, making him look very cute.
The insect cub is truly the most heart-healing existence in the world.
Lin Xi suddenly thought of something and chuckled: "Fortunately, Xiao Ye'er doesn't look like that scumbag, otherwise I'm really afraid I can't help it."
"Can't help what?"
Lin Xi put her hands on her hips and said, "I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that scumbag's face calling me his female father, I feel like I'm a generation older!"
The insects were silent.
Parker even complained in his heart that the boss started to let himself go again, and even wanted to be the female father of the male insect, and was not afraid of eating too much and getting bloated!
But little Yell is really cute.
The more Parker looked at the bug cub, the more he envied it. He stretched out his hand to Lin Xi and said, "Boss, you've been holding it long enough. Let me try!"
Lin Xi pushed Parker's hand away: "What are you trying to do? Do you think this is a piece of cabbage? Do you think you can just try to hold a bug baby?"
Parker touched his beaten hand and looked at Lin Xi with both grievance and accusation: "Boss, you can't just eat the meat yourself and not let other bugs drink the soup!"
Lin Xi didn't feel the slightest bit guilty and refused to hand the bug cub over to Parker: "You're being so rude! What if you hurt little Yell?"
Parker: "...Boss, everyone has their first time. Are you born with the ability to hold a bug?"
Lin Xi looked at Parker. Little Yell also raised his head and gave Parker an innocent look. "I came from an orphanage. I'm really good at taking care of young insects. At least I have more experience than you."
Parker: “…”
Hearing this, Parker was indeed speechless.
Lin Xi patted Parker's arm with her free hand and said, "Don't be so discouraged. You want to have a baby insect. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Isn't having one yourself the best way to solve the problem?"
Parker twitched his lips and shook the other person's hand away: "Forget it then."
Bug cubs, those from other bug families are cuter.
