Do you have new bugs here?
Mu Xiao couldn't refute it. Everything he saw since the day he came to the Zerg was just as Anthony said, but this required the female Zerg to awaken and fight for their own interests, rather than letting the Toad Clan take advantage and intensify the conflict.
"Are you close to the male insect that marked you? But when it comes to doing these risky things, such a relationship is just a burden." Anthony knew that the female insect had her own independent opinions, and he liked this about her, so he stopped talking about this and changed to a more pointed topic.
Mu Xiao was stunned. It was not like he had not thought about this problem before. He was clearly living a precarious life every day, but he indulged himself in the arms of pleasure. This was like a torture to two insects.
Anthony keenly sensed the female insect's momentary hesitation. He gently rubbed the back of her hand with his still-fleshed cheek, selling her merchandise like a sales pitch: "Alred is a man of distinction. His family will select a vessel to continue his bloodline. I am merely an abandoned child, fearless and willing to stay with you until the end."
Mu Xiao hooked his lifeless tail hook and played with it, his eyes calm: "You become a male insect, but you still put yourself in a low position? What's the meaning of the change?"
The male insect was speechless after his question. He clutched his yukata tightly until his knuckles turned white. Finally, he stood up and left silently.
Mu Xiao looked at the lonely figure and shook his head. The other party's words reminded him that he should make a break with Alred. Originally, encountering the male insect at the banquet was just an accident, and he couldn't let it go on.
After getting familiar with the base environment, Mu Xiao's first thing was to drive the starship home. The door slowly opened, and he jumped down nimbly. He was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the unfamiliar yard. He had only been away for a few weeks, and many bright flowers had been planted in the bare and simple yard.
Alred, who was squatting in the bushes, immediately put down the seedlings when he heard the noise, wiped the sweat from his face with his not-so-clean forearms, and tidied his messy hair before standing up and waving to the female insect.
I thought Mu Xiao would praise his hard work, but the first thing he said was: "When will the supervision period end?"
He tried hard to maintain a gentle expression, his fingers clenched so tightly that they crackled, and the veins on his fair arms bulged. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's not good to be alone, and the mark was just an accident. I heard it can be eliminated, right?" Mu Xiao was obviously lacking in confidence when he said these words. He felt like a heartless person, although in fact they had no other relationship.
"Heard? Who told you that you were bewitched by a new insect outside?" It would have been fine if the female insect hadn't said anything, but once she did, Alred almost couldn't control the jealousy that was distorted in his heart. He asked back with a sneer.
"We're just friends, aren't we?"
"Can I give spiritual nourishment to a friend?" Alred grasped Mu Xiao's wrist and yanked the female insect close to his chest. He sniffed her smooth neck. After sensing a strange scent, his pigeon-blood eyes dimmed and darkened instantly. He spoke word by word, "So I really have met a new favorite."
Mu Xiao tried to argue, but the other insect didn't give him the chance. Using brute force, it dragged him inside. The metal tail hooked on the edge of his pants, and the tip of the tail made his abdomen twitch with cold. He was about to speak, but the male insect's voice, like a wave, suppressed him again: "Your body seems to invite me to reproduce."
"I'm not kidding you." His eyes were full of disbelief, and the tips of his ears slowly turned a thin layer of red. After realizing that the topic had gone astray, he silently corrected it.
Alred's eyelids drooped, his long, thick lashes covering the irritation beneath his eyes. He didn't know what Morse and Mu Xiao had brainwashed him into thinking, but leaving the female insect was impossible. So he changed his mind and said, "I understand. You must be afraid that I'm a ruthless insect like my male father. It doesn't matter. My family is definitely too despicable. I'll leave tomorrow."
"I didn't, it's just..."
He glanced at the bewildered female insect standing there, his lips curled up slightly, and he added reluctantly, "Just what? I'm happy that you can meet a new male insect."
Mu Xiao didn't expect the situation to develop like this. He was struggling over whether he should tell Alred about Anthony's affairs, in case he stirred the bugs into a new vortex.
"It's okay. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. I'll go pack my things." Alred pulled off the reluctant tail hook and pretended to walk towards the bedroom.
Mu Xiao grabbed the male insect's sleeve and told him what he had learned in the Toad Base these days. Alred remembered that his father was responsible for the disappearance of male insects in the dungeon. He wrote down the key points and planned to focus on investigating this matter so that he could use it as a bargaining chip in the future.
Zerg Prime Slums
Morse walked through the dirty streets. The pungent smell of泔水 was like a punch to the stomach, making him nauseous. If his subordinates had not told him that they had detected traces of Ruowen here, he would never have set foot here in his lifetime.
"Ruowen." He murmured these two words softly. Ever since Huangxing plotted against Mu Xiao, Ruowen also suddenly disappeared. He had searched for him countless times but to no avail. Although his identity as a male insect was fake, the feelings he had for him over the years were not.
The slums were not very large, and there were many injured and sick women piled up inside. He carefully looked at the faces under each dirt, but the results were not satisfactory. When he thought he would return empty-handed, a bug hiding in the corner suddenly ran in the opposite direction like crazy.
Morse was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately followed. The crisscrossing alleys were more complicated than a honeycomb structure, and he had to concentrate all his attention on the bugs, so much so that he accidentally bumped into a road bug.
He didn't care about his numb shoulder and frantically looked for the figure. The empty road reminded him that the other party had run far away. He raised his foot and kicked the road bug in the abdomen, venting the negative emotions accumulated in his heart.
Morse left with a cold face only when a faint smell of blood filled the air. He had finally gotten some news about Ruowen and couldn't let him go so easily. Since Ruowen had come to the Zerg main planet, he would definitely look for Mu Xiao.
He calmly opened the terminal. Mu Xiao's avatar was still lit in the address book, so he edited a text and sent it, waiting for a reply intently.
[Morse] Ruowen came to the main planet to contact me. He knew that the matter in the jungle was a misunderstanding and wanted to talk to you alone.
Mu Xiao had just finished replenishing his spirits. He opened the terminal to handle the base work. A new message jumped to the top. After reading the content clearly, his hands couldn't stop shaking. He hadn't heard the words "Ruowen" for a long time.
But when he saw this name, his chest, which was pierced by the winged sword, still ached slightly. He respected the choice of every insect, but the feeling of betrayal was very unpleasant.
[Morse] He has been repenting for a long time, and his mental state is getting worse.
Mu Xiao bit his lower lip anxiously. Perhaps the light from the terminal screen affected the male insect. Alred poked his head out from under the covers, gently stroked his abdomen, and said, "What happened?"
"Do you think we should forgive the betrayer?" When he asked this question, the answer gradually became clear in his mind. No one has a God's perspective on this matter. We are all victims.
