The A-class male zerg who had just returned to the mother planet swiftly married a female lord, the female who had escorted him back. This news instantly became a hot topic on zerg Star.
Recently, with his growing interest in Earth, Ryan, who was watching Earth documentaries at home, received the news and prepared to congratulate the young male zerg.
Fortunately, just before Ryan rushed out the door, his meticulous female lord at home timely stopped this action, otherwise it would have really disturbed He Qin and Rhys’s good time.
He had been thinking about this matter all along, and Ryan endured the hardship. Finally, early on the third day, he arrived at He Qin’s house.
“Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?”
The one who opened the door wasn’t He Qin or Major General Rhys, but a stranger female zerg who resembled the Major General.
Could it be that this young male zerg was so capable, he had married two female zergs from the Qi family in one go?
Unexpectedly, this inexperienced young male zerg harbored such bold thoughts.
“I’m here to see He Qin.” Ryan sized up the female zerg and walked in on his own.
Seeing the beautifully prepared breakfast on the table, he found a suitable seat and sat down. “It just so happens I haven’t had breakfast either, so I’ll wait for him here.”
Ivan nervously stood at a distance from the male zerg, watching the unfamiliar male zerg sitting so casually at the dining table. It seemed he truly intended to wait for the master of this household to appear before being satisfied.
Since arriving in the central star system of the zerg race, this was the first male zerg he had seen, sitting in the position he usually occupied. Meanwhile, his father-in-law stood nervously at the door, trembling as if in fear, unable to stop shaking.
When He Qin reached halfway up the stairs, this strange scene was what met his eyes.
“Why did you come?”
Despite having many grievances against the incompetent head of the Qi family, He Qin had a very good impression of Ryan.
He had also come to understand that just as Earth had various types of humans, he believed that among the zergs, male zergs could not be judged entirely by one brushstroke.
Given this understanding, He Qin chose to get close to a male zerg as excellent and wise as Ryan, and to stay as far away as possible from the Qi family head, who was so insane.
“I’ve come to congratulate you. Didn’t expect you to move so fast.” Ryan’s powerful mental abilities allowed him to directly perceive He Qin’s changes. It seemed this kid had truly reached physiological maturity.
“Congratulate me on what?” He Qin yawned and chose another seat to sit down.
If it were anyone else, they might think He Qin was pretending to be stupid, but he had really just woken up and his head was still foggy, unable to understand the implied meaning in Ryan’s words.
“What do you think?” Ryan said this while staring at Major General Rhys standing behind He Qin in a military posture.
“Well, thank you.” Following Ryan’s gaze, He Qin saw the female zerg behind him and patted the seat next to him, gesturing for him to sit down. “Father-in-law, why don’t you join us for breakfast?”
Just like the last time they met, He Qin still treated the female zerg with such affection.
He Qin’s straightforward and generous demeanor, which was the same towards everyone, was a personality trait that the imperial male zergs did not possess, and this was one aspect that made Ryan admire the male zerg.
First, he invited the two female zergs to sit at the table, and He Qin popped a uniquely zerg-style boiled egg into his mouth.
These days, for some reason, He Qin’s appetite had increased significantly. Often, early in the morning, his stomach would growl uncontrollably, sometimes even enough to eat the equivalent of two meals.
Regarding this physical change in the male zergs, Rhys instructed Adjutant Jack to transmit a whole book, “Male zerg Physiology,” to his light-brain.
Understanding this situation of increased appetite, it’s a change that occurs in a small number of male zergs after their transformation period, while for most male zergs, this behavior appears after their first experience.
At this time, as the male zerg’s mate, the most important thing to do is to prepare nutritious meals for the male zerg three times a day.
This ensures timely replenishment of their physical strength to prevent fainting due to malnutrition.
“Lord,” Rhys packed several sandwiches from the table and handed them to the male zerg one by one.
Possibly due to habits formed in the Earth military, tge male zerg generally eat very quickly and tend to stuff food into their mouths, packing them full and swallowing after a few casual chews.
Seeing He Qin’s relaxed eating style, Ryan was once again amazed by this male zerg who had wandered onto Earth.
After the young male zerg ate his fifth sandwich, Ryan leisurely finished a small portion of salad and felt quite full. “I have to say, you’re really lucky.”
Why did he say he’s lucky again?
He Qin wanted to ask, but forgot that his mouth was stuffed with a lot of food, choking on it and coughing painfully a few times.
Luckily, Rhys had placed a glass of water at each seat in advance. He Qin drank his own and the two glasses Rhys handed him, finally managing to swallow the stuck food.
“What were you saying?”
Although he had heard that the young male zerg had been a soldier in the Earth military, Ryan had never seen a male zerg behave so much like a rough military female with his own eyes.
But he was quite cute. Seeing the male zerg’s face turn red from being choked, Ryan suppressed the urge to burst out laughing.
“Originally, the Empire was preparing to assign you a mate, and the candidate was almost finalized two days ago. It’s just that we didn’t expect you to choose a mate on your own initiative.”
“Well, that must have troubled them.” He Qin sneered, feeling fortunate that he had chosen Major General Rhys instead of allowing the so-called Imperial government to randomly arrange a marriage partner for him.
After all, the young male zerg was still young and hadn’t seen much of the dark side of society, and all his thoughts were written on his face.
“This is our living environment. The Empire only needs us to provide new life for the zerg race. You should adapt as soon as possible.” Ryan advised the young male zerg with a face full of reluctance, somewhat regretting bringing up this topic.
Today, he came to congratulate He Qin on his wedding, not to make the male zerg uncomfortable.
So he quickly changed the subject, “I’ve been meaning to ask, who is this?” In Ryan’s view, the female zerg who resembled Major General Rhys was the best topic.
“I forgot to introduce. This is Rhys’s female father, Ivan.” Except for He Qin, who did not stop using chopsticks on the entire table, learning from last time’s lesson, he swallowed all the food in his mouth before answering Ryan’s question.
“Qi Lun’s female servant?” Rhys’s female father, that belongs to Qi Lun.
“Yes.” Female zergs cannot cross male zergs to independently respond to unfamiliar male zergs.
Ivan, who lives in He Qin’s house, will not break this rule because of the respect shown by male zergs.
As one of the Empire’s top affluent families, Ryan has seen the male zerg named ‘Qi Lun’ several times at banquets.
That male zerg always dresses extravagantly, as if he wants to wear the most precious items from his home.
And each time he attends, the female zergs accompanying him are different. However, Ryan has never seen the female zerg named Ivan at any banquet.
It seems that this female zerg has never received Qi Lun’s favor. His injuries are probably also related to Qi Lun.
“How did he end up here?”
Generally speaking, female zergs who are not favored by the family head are mostly confined to the family and cannot easily go out.
“I brought him back from Qi Lun’s.” In fact, he brought back both female zergs, and He Qin’s words couldn’t hide his pride.
In He Qin’s view, bringing these two female zergs out of Qi Lun’s pit is his best choice.
Helping the vulnerable while also snatching such an excellent ‘wife’ for himself.
Unable to hold back a smile, He Qin raised his head satisfactorily, secretly stroking the slender fingers of his female zerg under the table.
In front of other male zergs, the sudden touch from the male master made Major General Rhys tremble with shyness, but privately he wished the male master could touch him more, quietly moving his hand to hold the male zerg’s hand.
“Qi Kun is coming back soon, and I guess this one won’t be able to stay here with you.” Thinking of the public information Qi Lun posted on the starnet, Ryan felt it necessary to remind the young male zerg.
The reason why Ivan can stay peacefully at He Qin’s house is also because recently, Qi Lun followed the fleet to the Empire’s newly developed M77 galaxy for tourism.
With the head of the family away from Qi’s house, the remaining group of female zergs didn’t dare to come to demand him.
Qi Lun always acts ostentatiously, updating his private itinerary in real time on the cloud. His actions are always admired by the Empire’s single female zergs, and countless female zergs replied below this information.
Ryan also happened to see the message unintentionally.
“Male master, my female father…” His female father suffered too much at Qi household, and Rhys could feel that when the male zerg mentioned Qi’s house, his father’s fear of Qi Lun was hard to hide.
Rhys could no longer watch his female father return to Qi house helplessly; he had no power to resist anymore. His only option was to seek help from the only male zerg here who could assist him.
He intentionally tightened his grip on the female zerg’s hand, aiming to comfort him.
Now, the only solution was to follow the customs of Imperial male zergs and exchange Ivan, the gemake father of the female zerg, from Qi Lun’s hands in a form of goods exchange.
As long as Qi Lun could hand over Ivan, the female zerg under He Qin’s household he could completely break free from Qi Family.
He Qin couldn’t step forward himself, especially after causing a scene at Qi family that day; his face and name were probably engraved in the minds of Qi family members.
The only male zerg He Qin knew was Ryan. Only he could implement this plan and persuade Qi Lun to willingly hand over Ivan.
“Ryan, I’d like to ask for your help.” Since he was asking for help, he needed to show sincerity.
To express his gratitude, He Qin stood up from his seat and bowed to the male zerg sitting there.
A male zerg actually set aside his dignity to seek help from another male zerg?
It’s really disrespectful to the male master.
He Qin stood up, and Rhys and Ivan couldn’t continue sitting either. Thus, the three zergs stood upright, creating a strange scene where Ryan, the lone male zerg, remained seated.
“Can we consider ourselves friends now? There’s nothing difficult about helping a friend; just tell me straightforwardly.” Ryan couldn’t remain seated either and stood up leisurely.
Ryan could guess that He Qin wanted him to intervene to rescue the female zerg named Ivan from Qi Lun. He wanted to know how this young male zerg planned to proceed.
He Qin outlined his plan, including some inadequately considered details, and Rhys offered suggestions on the side. After spending some time, they devised a detailed rescue plan.
“You really know how to hit the nail on the head. Qi Lun likes to collect rare and exotic treasures; this plan is bound to succeed.”
“I want to thank you for being willing to help. Otherwise, if I were to handle it myself, there would be no chance of success.”
As Ryan left, he couldn’t help but admire He Qin; indeed, he was an outstanding Grade A male zerg.
Bold, willing to take risks, meticulously planned, visionary, and willing to sacrifice for what mattered to him—such a talented male zerg would undoubtedly bring about more changes to the current outdated Empire.
