Chapter 6 Two Female Rulers?
"Delete! Delete immediately! The only female ruler is that worm, Letkar Laneta, understand?"
Before the mechanical insect could finish speaking, Tan Chi immediately covered its mouth, demonstrating a strong survival instinct.
This is all the original owner's fault.
However, he possessed the original owner's memories, so he naturally remembered that the original owner did this so that the protagonist would be surprised after registering their marriage with him.
But when it came to him, it turned into a shock!
Although the mechanical insect doesn't have a mouth, it only has an electronic screen that looks like a mouth.
Fortunately, the mechanical insect received the command in time and immediately announced in an electronic voice: "Yes, Master Insect, Lutkar Laneta has been upgraded to one of the Master Insects, with the status of Female Sovereign. Delete Mi..."
"Don't mention the names of any other insects to me again. From now on, only my name and the female's name are allowed in this house. It's best if you don't utter the names of any other insects."
When Tan Chi said this, there was a clear sense of threat in his voice.
Although mechanical insects do not have the emotions of insects, they are made in the style of bionic insects, so they naturally have simulated emotion organs as well.
It had already sensed Tan Chi's dissatisfaction from his facial expressions, so it immediately turned to look at Letekar beside it.
"My lady, is there anything 001 can do for you? 001 is at your service!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Chi immediately grasped Letekar's hand and solemnly said, "Letekar, believe me, from now on you will be my only queen."
Lutekar's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he gave a stiff "hmm".
He already knew that his effeminate older brother was entangled with Tan Chi.
However, Tan Chi wasn't the only one entangled with him.
He had read in a book that male insects are very fickle; even if they favor one female, they might favor another female after a while.
The book says that you should try to get more mental energy to soothe the male insect when it is interested, and it would be best to get pregnant with the eggs.
Once the female insect has an egg, she can temporarily escape the constraints of the mental sea.
Because the eggs contain the concentrated spiritual energy of the male insect, they can effectively provide sufficient comfort to the female insect, and the male insect does not need to exert any effort during the egg-laying period.
Thinking of this, Letekar glanced down at his abdomen.
Seeing that Letekar didn't speak, Tan Chi glanced at the mechanical insect beside him and said, "Aren't you going to cook? Do you want the Empress to go hungry?"
Upon hearing this, the mechanical insect immediately began to spin its wheels rapidly. "Don't worry, Master, 001 will deliver the Queen's meal right away."
Thinking of the world's setting, Tan Chi shouted to the mechanical insect, "Prepare natural food, no nutrient solution."
The mechanical insect paused for a moment, but immediately replied, "Yes, Master Insect."
Natural food is a precious commodity in interstellar space because... insects almost never grow plants.
Therefore, plants are very scarce among the insectoids, including fruits and vegetables for them to eat.
Well, how should I put it?
This fits the Zerg's nature perfectly.
Fortunately, there are still many types of meat available, but the Zerg's diet is rather limited, so the taste of the meat they make probably won't be very good.
After all, without plants, there are no seasonings, and he didn't expect the insectoids' natural food to taste particularly good.
But it's still much better than nutrient solution.
When he was reading this insectoid novel, he saw a description of the taste of the nutrient solution, which was like... a lot of some kind of unidentified slime with sugar added.
At the time, Tan Chi only felt that it was very good and very Zerg-like.
Now it was his turn to eat it himself, and every pore on his body screamed "no."
"Lord Crete, I usually only need nutrient solution," Letkar said softly after watching the mechanical insect walk away.
He always knew that male insects were delicate.
But he is a female insect, and female insects do not need such expensive food.
Tan Chi's eyebrows twitched slightly. "But I don't like my female ruler eating nutrient solution."
Letekar: "..."
Not taking the nutrient solution?
Do you not want him to eat?
"What are you thinking about?" Tan Chi couldn't help but ask when he saw that Letekar hadn't reacted for a while.
Letekar naturally spoke the truth, "Even if the female soldiers don't eat, they can live for a week..."
Tan Chi: "..."
How could his beautiful wife say such terrible things?
Will he not feed him?
This is his beautiful wife, and he can't let her go hungry, even if he doesn't eat!
But thinking about Letecar's thought process, Tan Chi sighed silently.
He has lived in a non-insect environment since childhood, and it's a miracle he didn't turn out badly.
It seems he'll have to be direct with his wife from now on, and not let her overthink things.
He grasped Letekar's hand directly and said, "What I mean is, from now on you will eat natural foods like me, understand?"
Lutecal hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless.
Tan Chi then gave him a satisfied peck on the cheek, "Mmm~ Good boy~"
Letekar: "..."
Male rulers are really strange.
However, when he was in military school, he heard other insects say that if they could please the male, they might be able to get a little bit of natural food.
I've heard that natural foods taste delicious.
He had never eaten it before.
Previously, in the Lanetta family, only the male father could enjoy natural food.
But it only happens a few times a month.
Even if Michele is very favored, she is not qualified.
Natural food is too expensive; only male insects like the royal family have the opportunity to regularly enjoy it.
Can he eat it now?
If Michele knew, would she regret not being with the male lord?
As Ludkar thought of this, his brow furrowed slightly, a strange feeling washing over him that made him very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the robotic insects soon brought food.
They didn't have to wait long before they were eating natural food.
Contrary to Tan Chi's expectations, the ingredients on the table, though not heavily processed, tasted delicious to him.
So wild boars really can't eat fine bran?
He actually thinks these roughly processed items are acceptable?!
He was a top-tier expert with dual superpowers in the post-apocalyptic world, and he enjoyed top-tier resources!
Especially after the base was established, as the leader of the base, he could get whatever he wanted. When had he ever eaten so shabbily?
And this was right in front of his beautiful wife!
Tan Chi felt like the sky had fallen.
Lutekar silently ate his meal, but when he saw that Tan Chi's expression had clearly changed, he almost stopped eating.
Did he eat too much and anger the male ruler?
The lord did say that he could eat natural food, but he didn't say that he should eat his fill.
He lacked discretion.
He almost instinctively wanted to kneel down and apologize, but then he remembered that Tan Chi had said he was not allowed to kneel, so he stopped.
Lutekar's mind raced for a moment, then his gaze fell on a corner of the table...
