Major General, a Male Zerg has been found on the battlefield!!

Mixiu was secretly pleased with the increasing physical contact with the young man, breathing in the scent he loved, his heart pounding wildly.

Suddenly, a chilling aura of killing intent came from behind. Before Mixiu could react, his arm was knocked off the young man’s shoulder, and his wrist was caught in another hand.

The person gripping his wrist was none other than Rhys, who had come to find He Qin.

“Major General Rhys?” Mixiu was puzzled as to why the Empire’s hero, Major General Rhys, would suddenly appear here, staring at him with extreme anger.

Pain surged from his wrist, giving Mixiu the feeling that the Empire hero might break his wrist on the spot.

“Rhys, you’re here.” Rhys’s series of actions were so fast that it took He Qin a few seconds to realize that his major general had finally finished his work and come to find him.

Hearing the voice of the male, Rhys felt as if he had been doused with cold water, his dissatisfaction with the libertine beastman instantly forgotten.

He quickly released the force in his hand, his eyes full of worry. Had he really shown such brutality in front of the male lord?

Male zergs disliked female zergs making decisions on their own, especially in front of outsiders, as it could be seen as a challenge to their authority and dignity.

Even a good-tempered male zerg would be very displeased with such inconsiderate behavior.

It seemed like he had messed things up again.

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. Rhys hung his head, feeling unworthy of looking directly at the male zerg.

“What’s wrong? Did things not go well with Leonard?” He Qin turned off the replay on the monitor and walked over to the female zerg, lifting his head with one hand.

Perhaps due to the nature of female zergs and the impact of war, Rhys used to always keep a cold face, hiding his various little emotions behind an expressionless mask.

Unwilling to express, afraid to express.

After their relationship became substantial, Rhys began to show more expressions when they were alone and learned to convey emotions with his eyes even when strangers were present.

Now, He Qin could sense the various little emotions hidden beneath that cold facade. For example, the ‘grievance’ and ‘guilt’ in Rhys’s eyes now.

“Male Lord, are you hungry?” The growling from the male’s stomach successfully shifted Rhys’s attention.

“Qin, you’re a male?” Mixiu shouted in shock at this revelation. He couldn’t believe that such a tall and strong figure was also a male zerg. Had the Zerg males recently changed their style?

“Yes, that’s right.” He Qin held his female lord’s hand, his fingers continuously rubbing the palm of the female zerg. This action gave Rhys a great sense of security.

What shocked Mixiu even more was the realization that the iron-blooded, cold-faced Empire hero was actually Qin’s female.

He had long heard that in the society of Zerg, male zergs held an important position in the hearts of female zergs. Some female zergs would even behave differently to please their male lords.

Hearing about it and seeing it firsthand were entirely different things.

“Hey, where are you going?” Mixiu took a few long strides, blocking He Qin’s path, intending to stop him from leaving.

“It’s about time to grab something to eat.” He Qin squeezed Rhys’s slender knuckles. Recently, he had developed a fondness for playing with the female zerg’s well-defined hands.

Rhys obediently stretched out his hand, allowing the male lord to knead it in various ways. Despite his dissatisfaction with the beastman prince, Rhys would not act impulsively again, especially since the male lord’s affection was clearly focused on him.

“Then I’ll join you, I’m a bit hungry too,” Mixiu said, sticking close to them.

Since Qin was a male zerg, Mixiu’s dream lover couldn’t possibly be him. However, this didn’t prevent Mixiu from befriending Qin.

In terms of emotions, Mixiu was quite adept at picking up and letting go. If he couldn’t be a lover, being a friend was also good.

“Male lord…” Rhys looked at the massive third wheel with displeasure, unaware of Mixiu’s recent mental activity. He just assumed the beastman prince was still fixated on his male lord.

Though the female zerg was taller and stronger than him, Rhys was always cautious in front of He Qin. His golden eyes looked at him with a watery gaze, unintentionally adding a touch of coquettishness to his tone, making it impossible for He Qin to refuse.

His female lord might not realize how captivating he was in this state, causing He Qin’s legs to momentarily weaken.

“Sorry, but no. This time is our honeymoon period, so it’s not convenient.” Given that they were on their honeymoon, there was no way they could bring along two strangers. He Qin was very clear about this.

He Qin sincerely apologized to Mixiu for not being able to accompany him, and he didn’t forget the elderly person in the room. Before leaving, he politely nodded and smiled at the old man.

“Hey… hey…” Mixiu didn’t expect the male zerg to speak so directly. After the two figures walked away, he called out a few more times, to no avail.

The K19 star system wasn’t far from the central star system. The angle at which the sun’s rays reflected onto the planet was about the same, so even though the clock showed it was evening, the sky was still bright.

This restaurant operated on a reservation-only basis, accepting only ten guests per day. However, for distinguished male zerg guests, they could prepare and accommodate them on short notice.

Rhys quickened his pace, considerately pulling out the chair and waiting for He Qin to sit down before taking his own seat opposite him.

“These first, please, as soon as possible.” He Qin pointed to a few images on the menu that looked like meat. Recently, he had been learning the language of the Zergs, but he could still only recognize basic nouns, including his own name.

“Alright, Lord, please wait a moment.”

After finding an excuse to leave Area A, He Qin insisted that Rhys show him around the other sections of the training ground. Rhys was quite popular in the training ground, with people greeting him wherever he went.

Feeling overwhelmed by the attention from the admiring guests, He Qin soon decided to leave the training ground.

He Qin could sense that along the way, Rhys was intentionally staying close to him, as if afraid he might leave. Especially when other female zerg’s gazes lingered on him, Rhys would give them a stern look of warning.

“Rhys, is there something you want to say to me?” Taking advantage of the time before the food arrived, He Qin decided to address his concerns directly.

“Nothing, Male Lord.”

The female zerg across from him said ‘nothing,’ but his eyes still didn’t dare to meet He Qin’s.

He Qin shook his head helplessly. Clearly, there was something, yet he was holding it in.

He really didn’t understand what went on in the minds of the Empire’s female zergs.

“Didn’t we agree that you’d tell me everything? I can’t read minds.” Sometimes, Rhys was like a guardian, rational and mature, handling everything for him. Other times, he was like a child, needing to be coaxed and cajoled to speak his mind.

He Qin didn’t mind though; he enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon by his female lord.

“Rhys…”

Since his male lord had spoken this much, there was no way to hide it any longer. He hoped that the master wouldn’t be angry upon hearing it, as it would be even worse if he made himself ill from the anger.

“This afternoon… I’m very sorry for interrupting your conversation with your friend on my own accord.” Rhys hesitated for a moment before continuing, “If you want to punish me, please wait until after we’ve eaten. There are some tools in the room that can be used.”

Punishment? Tools? What on earth was Rhys thinking?

How could a female zerg speak about such matters so seriously?

“You mean with Mixiu?”

“I’m very sorry.” This time, Rhys stood up from his seat, bowing deeply, repeatedly apologizing three times.

In the Empire, it was common for female zergs to bow to express their apologies and seek forgiveness from male zergs. Some male zergs even required females to kneel and apologize at any time.

The female zerg’s actions drew the attention of all the attendants in the hall. He Qin also stood up, using some force to push the female zerg back into his seat, while he leaned half against the table.

“I was just passing time while waiting for you. How could a stranger I just met be more important than you?” The gentleness in He Qin’s black eyes made Rhys unable to look away.

The master’s response made Rhys feel warm inside. In the military, he was a major general who had to shoulder everything. In the Qi family, he was a pawn for his male father to use. Only by He Qin’s side could he be surrounded by love and feel cared for.

“Next time, don’t let yourself get upset over such small things. If you have any concerns, just tell me directly.” He Qin reached out and tucked a few strands of silver hair behind the female zerg’s ear.

“I understand, Master.”

The major general really doesn’t realize how seductive he is. The ear that was touched flushed with blood, becoming warm, and quickly turned a soft pink.

He Qin tapped his fingers on the table, suddenly thinking of something, “Rhys, are you jealous?”

Exactly. If it wasn’t jealousy, how could Rhys’s strong reaction to Mixiu approaching him be explained?

“I-I am not.” This time, not only his ears but also the wheat-colored face of the major general blushed slightly.

“You’re obviously jealous.” He Qin mumbled softly, unwilling to admit it, but inwardly very happy.

“Master…”

The waiter next door, carrying a few plates of exquisite food, waited silently for a while. The starter was a hot dish, and if it wasn’t served soon, it would cool down and ruin the taste.

“Lord, Major General, should I serve the dishes now?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

The chef, hearing that a male guest was in the front hall, sped up the cooking process. They couldn’t afford to delay the male zerg’s time. If he couldn’t get his food on time, he would get irritable, and an irritated male zerg could cause trouble they couldn’t handle.

“Male lord, try this dish. Isn’t it similar to the Kung Pao Chicken we had for lunch?”

“And this drink, it’s also a specialty of this restaurant.”

“Okay, but don’t just serve me, you eat too.”

As they ate, Rhys also ordered a good bottle of wine. Although He Qin wasn’t fond of alcohol, he couldn’t resist trying a few sips of this wine brewed by the Zergs. It seemed to be made from some kind of fruit, with a sweet and tangy taste like a delicious beverage, so He Qin ended up drinking several cups.

Rhys, being a female zerg, had an enzyme in his body that quickly broke down alcohol, allowing it to evaporate through his skin. Therefore, alcohol was just another form of beverage for him.

However, male zergs lacked this enzyme. The wine had a high alcohol content and was quite potent. After just a few drinks, He Qin was feeling tipsy, and his tongue started to slur.

As Rhys took the wobbly male zerg away, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

“Mmh.”

“Rhys, what is this? It feels so soft.”

Rhys’s chest was suddenly squeezed hard. He quickly removed the male zerg’s wandering hand. Whenever He Qin touched him, he felt weak, let alone having to carry him back.

“Male Lord, let’s change your clothes first.”

“I’m so hot, Rhys.”

Even drunk, the male lord’s strength didn’t diminish. Lying on the bed, he kept tearing at his bothersome clothes.

Seeing He Qin writhing uncomfortably on the bed, Rhys reluctantly helped him remove the many-buttoned garment, feeling a bit regretful for giving him that bottle of wine.

“Mmh, Male Lord?” He Qin suddenly sat up, burying his head in Rhys’s shoulder, his warm breath causing Rhys to shiver.

Just when Rhys thought the male lord had fallen asleep and was about to adjust his position for comfort, He Qin suddenly pounced on him.

Fortunately, Rhys, who had trained for years, could support the male zerg’s weight. Otherwise, he would have been pinned to the ground, with his head hitting the floor.

“Male Lord, how about I take a shower first?”

“No… no need… I feel awful.”

“Okay.”
