Chapter 5
The broth-rich noodles, the crispy and tender stewed bird meat, and the refreshing and spicy cold kudzu leaves.
The food on the table was something Fu Qing had never seen before, and it exuded an alluring aroma, a thousand times better than the thick soup and compressed biscuits in the morning.
Yu Xie noticed that although Fu Qing had a dull expression, there were ripples of interest in his dark purple eyes, and he couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Try it first to see if it suits your taste. If it tastes good, add more."
After that, Yu Xie handed Fu Qing a small bowl of steaming salted noodles: "Be careful, it's hot."
The male insect was very close, and the heat from his body was as hot as the halved noodles that were passed to him. The female insect seemed to be unaccustomed to such closeness and such an attitude. She pursed her lips a little uncomfortably and said, "Thank you."
The two of them went from being cold to each other last night to being polite tonight. To Yu Xie, it didn't make much difference, but he didn't know that to Fu Qing, this was already a signal that the relationship was easing.
The noodles and salt had been mixed together by Yu Xi. Fu Qing imitated the male insect's way of eating, rolled up a small piece with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hot, chewy and fragrant.
This is a taste that Fu Qing has never tasted before...
The most important thing is...he didn't feel like vomiting.
Yu Xie suddenly felt that Fu Qing was a bit naive. No wonder he was a poor little bug in the book. He was now the son of a political enemy, and he was obviously an undercover agent of the aristocracy. Fu Qing actually dared to eat the food he cooked, and he was not afraid of being poisoned.
In the original plot, it was the eldest brother of the Yu family who bribed Fu Qing's male insect uncle to drug him, which caused Fu Qing's mental power to be on the verge of a riot when he was dealing with the tide of mutant beasts. In the end, he received a marriage proposal from the Insect Emperor as soon as he entered the battlefield.
This series of actions caught the civilians off guard, and they had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit. And this marriage was the beginning of Fu Qing's miserable life.
Thinking of this, Yuxie couldn't help but feel unhappy. He raised his eyelids and urged: "Don't eat anything given by other insects casually in the future."
Fu Qing was stunned when he heard this.
Then he glanced at the four cameras in the kitchen and hummed in an ambiguous manner.
Rest: ...
He really didn't notice.
Fu Qing lowered his eyebrows and remained calm, chewing the crisp broadleaf strips: "You can also cook?"
Lord Yuxie always did things in an open and aboveboard manner, never hiding anything or doing anything sneaky, so this problem was not difficult for him.
"Um."
Just take it easy and continue eating noodles.
Fu Qing, who was ready to accept all kinds of reasons, choked.
One of them kept silent on purpose, while the other was speechless for a moment, and the two of them continued to eat in silence.
It was not until he took a break and started to serve his sixth bowl of noodles that Fu Qing twitched his lips for a rare moment.
"Do you think I eat too much?" Yu Xie raised his eyebrows.
"……It's not bad……"
Fu Qing suddenly felt sorry for what he had said in the morning: "A plate of soup is enough to fill you up, sir."
Looking at the poor little bug pretending to be calm, Yu Xie curled the corners of his lips into a slightly enchanting smile.
The appetite of the gluttonous beast should certainly not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, the naturally grown plants in this world are very expensive. Yu Xie is now penniless and relies on eating and drinking at the Major General's Mansion. Fu Qing's huge Major General's Mansion has only three or five servants and insects, and it looks like a bare house, not like he has any wealth.
During the break, he felt the sudden increase in his merit and spiritual energy after Fu Qing had eaten his fill. Although the amount of spiritual energy was not much, it was more condensed.
It seems that feeding the poor little bugs can also earn merits. I wonder if this effect will occur if other people eat the food I cook. I decided to do an experiment on Clester and Abel tomorrow.
The God considered himself a divine beast that stood tall and proud, and he was always self-sufficient and did not rely on others for food. Of course, it was unreasonable for him to eat six bowls of rice with two dishes while his master only had one bowl of rice for each meal. So, the God decided to...
Ask your cheap brother for some money for the meal.
…
【Fu Qing refuses to be marked and needs to gain trust.】
After eating and drinking, I took a rest and lay on a tree and sent a message to Yu Rui.
There is a small garden behind the Major General's Mansion. Although it is full of fake insects and plants, it is better than nothing. I am used to taking a nap on the tree, so I quickly stepped up and shook my feet comfortably.
In order to avoid hiding people, the insect trees in the Major General's Mansion were not lush and could not cover Yu Xie's tall stature. Therefore, the servants passing by could see a pair of slender and powerful long legs exposed on the tree. One leg was on the trunk, and the other was down, occasionally shaking.
Quite comfortable and good-looking, but not too aristocratic...
Fu Qing stood by the window and looked for a while, his dark purple eyes becoming more and more puzzled.
Fighting, cooking, climbing trees...
Sitting posture... messy.
What a strange male insect.
[Your pheromones are a decoration???] Yu Rui, who received the message, was so angry that his hands were shaking.
No female insect can resist the pheromones of a male insect, let alone Fu Qing, whose mental strength is on the verge of violence. Fu Qing is in a high position of power, and the nobles cannot easily take action no matter how brave they are. The marriage is just a fig leaf for some things to happen.
Otherwise, with the power of the noble faction, they could find plenty of A-level male insects to force Fu Qing into estrus, and then mark him!
Oh yeah, there's this thing.
He took a break and stroked his chin, searching for pheromones on the computer. The more he looked, the more frowns he frowned.
…
What is pheromone? Isn't it just a gaseous aphrodisiac that can be released anytime and anywhere? Such a dirty trick...
Thinking of the sarcastic words Yu Rui said to him when he had just come through, Yu Xie quickly replied with a few words.
【It’s almost gone. 】
!!!!!!!
This garbage bug!!!
A shameless bug!!!
If His Majesty had not already decreed the marriage, the day Yu Rui knew that Yu Xie was suffering from pheromone decline, he would have wanted to find a new male insect to marry Fu Qing!
Yu Xiu saw that Yu Rui didn't reply for a long time, guessing that he was angry. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, plucked a leaf from the tree, put it in his mouth and blew a tune. Except that it couldn't be eaten, it felt no different from a real plant.
[What do you want to do? Where do you get the fake death drug? ]
Yu Xie's eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure at having caught his prey, and he ignored the second question. After all, he had no memory of his original body, and he didn't know where the fake death drug came from.
But he could guess with just a strand of his hair that the original self, an unfavored hero who was brought back from a medium-sized city and had not even graduated, could not get such a powerful medicine. This was definitely caused by the methods of his domestic enemies.
However, there are four first-class nobles including the Yu family, plus some second-class nobles and commoners who are not affiliated with the Yu family, so it is difficult to determine the target for the time being.
[I need funds, I can take care of the rest.] Take a rest and be calm.
[You married a man named Fu as your queen, and all his wealth is in your pocket. Why do you still need me for money?!] Brother Yu was furious.
His hand paused as he checked the message.
After a break, he opened the webpage again and searched for the Zerg Tribe's property distribution method after marriage, then checked the balance of his own 1 star coin star card, and finally checked the treatment given to major general-level military females by the Noliflan Empire.
…
Yu Xie smiled. He looked at the bedroom window on the second floor with the curtains closed. He suddenly felt that the poor little bug was not only sharp-tongued but also quite smart. It was not as simple-minded as he had imagined.
[It’s inconvenient to use his money.] Yu Xia’s ambiguous reply.
Indeed, the account belongs to Fu Qing, and we can find out where the star coins went. This reason seemed to be recognized by Yu Rui, who was silent for a while and replied: [How much do you want? ]
Yuxie couldn't remember how many times he had opened the search box today. He checked the purchasing power of 1 star coin on his star card balance.
100 Star Coins = one TuTu flower leaf = 10 tubes of nutritional supplements
Really poor
So Yuxi Lion opened his mouth and asked for [10 million star coins]
Yu Xie thought that asking for too much would not be good, otherwise he would just ask for 50 million star coins.
[Are you building a golden house? ! ! !] Yu Rui was so angry that he shuddered.
Tsk, so stingy.
A golden house hides a beauty, but he doesn't have any beauty, so what's the point of having a golden house?
[Just kidding, one million, we have to make an emergency decision.] Throw out the real offer in the break.
Compared with 10 million, 1 million is quite economical. Yu Rui Ninja angrily gave Yu Xie 1 million. Then he sent the last message viciously.
【Do your job well, or you'll risk your life. 】
The Yu family is not afraid that Yu Xie will take the money and run away. After all, he is a useless male insect. Instead of hiding from being hunted down with a million dollars, it is better to put some pheromones to mark a beautiful female insect, and then exchange it for worry-free food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Any idiot knows which one is more cost-effective.
Yu Xia looked at his remaining balance of one million and one star coins with great pleasure, and jumped directly from a two-meter-high tree, scaring Abel in the garden so much that he closed his eyes.
Abel: "Sir! Please don't do such a dangerous thing!"
Rest: "Well, pay attention next time."
Abel: There will be a next time???
++++++
The Noliflan Empire is one of the empires in the Star Federation and is also the gathering place of the Winged Insect Tribe. This planet has four distinct seasons and a pleasant climate, especially in the early autumn mornings, when the sunlight is bright but not harsh.
Early in the morning, the Major General's Mansion was filled with the smell of fireworks.
"Oh my God! Sir, are these exquisite meals really prepared for us?" Abel and John covered their mouths in excitement.
Yuxie decided to test the merit and spiritual energy that cooking could bring, so he started cooking early in the morning and prepared an unusually rich breakfast.
The wontons and vegetarian steamed dumplings made with coriander fruit flour and raisin leaves are thin-skinned, big-stuffed and crystal green. The small mixed vegetables made with tutu leaves are crisp and refreshing, sweet and sour and appetizing.
Sweet and tender sabzi, one portion stir-fried, one portion with scrambled eggs. Plus a pot of salt-baked giant bird, with a portion of shredded, crispy fried tia seeds.
Fu Qing, who was wearing a neat military uniform, was standing in the kitchen at this moment, holding a bowl of egg soup that Yu Xie had given him. His dark purple eyes widened slightly, staring blankly at the handsome male insect with a look of realization on his face.
"Do you like to daydream?"
Yu Xie couldn't help but pinch Fu Qing on the face.
The snow-white powder of the Coria fruit left a dazzling white mark on the fair face of the Imperial Major General.
!!!
Fu Qing was startled by Yu Xie's action and took a step back. He wiped the place where he was pinched with an unnatural expression: "Please don't... touch me casually."
"Well... I'll be more careful next time." The male insect's deep voice sounded a little careless, and then he said to the frightened insect: "How about you pinch it back?"
The cold and elegant female insect had a look of bewilderment in her eyes, and a faint blush crept up to her ears. She pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you for your breakfast. The military has urgent matters to attend to. I wish you a happy day."
"Oh, very pleasant..." Yu Xiu rubbed his fingertips in front of Fu Qing.
Looking at Fu Qing's fleeing back, Yu Xie thought to himself, wasn't he so sharp-tongued and smart yesterday? How come he is so stupid?
Poor little bug, quite cute...
