Chapter 87 The Weeping Bug

It was beyond his expectation that Adrian could stay in Morris's mind for so long.

Adrian's mental strength level is only B-level. Morris has calculated the time for him. The male insect's endurance is always low. Even if Adrian can endure it, he can only stay in Morris's mental sea for five minutes at most.

But he was gone for nearly half an hour. If Morris hadn't forced him to leave in the end, Adrian would have stayed there longer.

This is far beyond the level of a B-level male insect.

Morris frowned, pressed the back of Edrien's head, and unconsciously increased the strength in his hands.

Adrian pushed his forehead forward, but he didn't feel anything, still in a deep sleep. Morris eased the force in his palm, and Adrian's posture when he slept with him in his arms was natural, as if he had long been accustomed to such intimate contact between them.

But they had only just gotten married.

Before the Insect Emperor gave the order, Edrien might not have even noticed Morris' existence.

Morris sighed softly. He and Adrian had never had any deep contact, so Adrian really shouldn't remember him.

Morris had seen Edrian in his downfall. The first sight of him had inexplicably left a deep impression on his mind, and of course it was also stored in the core memory of his mind.

Violence, blood, poverty... Adrian looked haggard under the pressure of these things, and Morris didn't want him to see what he used to look like.

Morris knew very well that Adrian, this male insect, was very concerned about his reputation. If he saw himself at that time in Morris's mind, he would probably faint on the spot.

But Morris somehow remembered those images.

At that time, he was just an ordinary female soldier in the army. He had just returned from the front line and ran to the slums to participate in the rescue in order to gain military merit.

Violent incidents continued in the slums, and they became the lair of many high-ranking criminals. Prince Sean had noticed the unrest in that area earlier, and specially sent the best female soldiers of the Seventh Army to the slums to suppress the riots and arrest the criminals.

In addition, they are also responsible for rescuing male insects trapped in the quagmire of slums.

High-level male insects are the treasures of the empire, and they carry the future of the entire insect race.

Although Morris scoffed at these words, he still had to kneel down and salute the male insect under the oppression of the social system of male superiority and female inferiority.

Male insects are all despicable and ugly creatures. They are selfish and greedy. They suck the blood of female insects for nutrition, but they still step on their spines to achieve false glory.

Morris had no expectations of them until he saw Adrian being carried in on a stretcher.

There was nothing about Adrian that looked like a male insect. He was covered in blood, and looked like he had just been dug out of a mud pit, with mud all over his arms and knees.

Morris stood by and watched as Adrian was allegedly attacked by thugs and beaten almost to pieces.

The stretcher carrying him quickly passed by Morris, and in that brief moment Morris only saw Adrian's arms hanging limply as he fell unconscious.

He was skinny, with bones covered by a layer of pale skin.

Morris looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away.

The diagnosis later showed that Adrian had two broken arms and his right knee was shattered. The corner of his eye was cracked, and the wound was long and deep. Because the nerves around the eye were pulled, Adrian kept his eyes tightly closed and dared not open them.

The female insect doctor who was in charge of treating him was very happy. Adrian was a B-level male insect, which was considered a high-level male insect in the insect race.

They arranged for him to be treated by the best doctors.

Morris saw everything. He leaned against the wall and thought that Edrian had turned a disaster into a blessing. In the future, he could use his status as a B-class male insect to move to the Imperial Star and start a life without worries about food and clothing.

This is indeed the case. Prince Sean has taken care of everything for Edrian.

The journey from the Desolate Star to the Imperial Star is quite long, and Adrian has been receiving treatment in the warship during this period.

The high-ranking female officers in the army were asked to take turns to look after Adrian, including Morris. Morris lowered his head to smoke, and when it was his turn, he felt really unlucky.

The violent male insects in the insect tribe are looking for trouble again. With just a few words, he can send Morris to the Male Insect Protection Association to receive a few hundred light whips.

Morris suppressed the discomfort in his heart and brought the meal prepared for the male insects to Adrian.

He heard Adrian sobbing at the door.

"I, I can't see... am I going blind?"

"I didn't provoke them, why did they hit me? My eyes hurt..."

"It's okay, sir. You are only temporarily blind and will be well soon." The doctor who treated Adrian was an experienced old doctor. He applied medicine around Adrian's eyes, put on a medical bandage and prepared to leave.

Adrian was obviously dissatisfied with the doctor's answer. After the old doctor left, he suddenly smashed the glass next to him against the wall.

Morris happened to come in, and the glass exploded, with the shards falling all over his uniform. He lowered his eyes and then continued walking towards Edrien.

"Sir, it's time for you to eat." Morris came to Edrien. Both of Edrien's arms were broken, and his right leg was fixed with a splint. He leaned against the wall with a sinister look on his face, not saying a word.

Morris did not move either. After waiting for nearly three minutes, Adrian turned his head silently.

Morris understood what he meant. He scooped a spoonful of porridge with diced meat and fed it into Edrian's mouth.

Adrian was quiet again during his meal, not crying or making a fuss. Morris fed him a spoonful of food and he ate it one spoonful at a time. Although he paused a few times, he didn't do anything strange.

"I'm sorry," Adrian said to Morris suddenly, as he sat back after finishing his meal.

Morris paused as he wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

He looked at Adrian. This male insect actually had very superior facial features. Although he looked shabby with a bruised face now, his facial lines were soft and he had slightly curly white hair. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, he would most likely grow into a good male insect.

Morris's fingertips accidentally touched Adrian's cheek. Perhaps because he had cried not long ago, the heat on his face had not yet dissipated.

Morris withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and said, "Sir, it's okay."

Adrian...is a male insect that's not too bad.

Morris could see certain qualities in him that other male insects did not have.

Morris took Adrian in his arms. Adrian's quality of life did improve a lot after moving to the Imperial Star. He was dressed elegantly and no longer looked as skinny as before.
