NOVEL NEXT 15
Chapter 15: When I was alone at home, really…
Ke Lisi seemed to hear a huge joke, his eyes glaring red as he hoarsely said, “I am a noble, a distinguished male zerg protected by the ‘Male zerg Protection Law.’ Why should I apologize to you, a lower district male zerg, and Yi Er, a female zerg who sees zergs as nothing?”
Yi Er’s eyes flashed coldly as he stood beside Qi Yao.
Morin and Hall stood by interestingly, watching the show. Not only them, but also the zergs gathered at the door of the private room were eagerly anticipating whether Ke Lisi would apologize next.
Although a large part of the zergs had no idea why Ke Lisi should apologize, the idea of a male zerg apologizing to a female zerg was already a play that subverted the views of many zergs.
Especially since one of the main characters in this drama was Yi Er, the female zerg who disregarded all laws.
“Are you implying that neither Qi Yao nor I deserve an apology?” Yi Er’s eyes seemed to have a layer of frost.
Ke Lisi remained stubborn and refused to back down.
Yi Er was not in a hurry. He walked slowly to Ke Lisi’s side and said in a calm voice, “Let me tell you now whether Qi Yao and I deserve your apology.”
His voice was not heavy, and he continued.
The words spoken just now were clearly heard by every zerg present.
“You all say I’m arrogant and unruly, so today I’ll admit it, and tell you why I, Yi Er, am so arrogant and unruly.”
“My father died in the Empire’s 92nd Defense War, personally awarded by the zerg Emperor with first-class merit; when I was eighteen, I alone risked my life to rescue the zerg Queen from the rebel army composed of fugitives. When I was still unconscious in the infirmary, the zerg Emperor personally conferred upon me the rank of Major General of the Second Military District; I come from a royal aristocratic family, and my father and the zerg Queen are blood relatives; Qi Yao is a male master certified and registered by the zerg Emperor and the zerg Queen to marry me. In terms of noble status, both my master and I are of royal lineage.”
“Do you have these?”
“Just because you have a deceased lieutenant general in your ancestors’ lineage, relying on A-grade zergs supported by your ancestors, who gave you the courage to say you don’t deserve to apologize to me and Qi Yao?”
“Is it your ancestors in the grave?”
Ke Lisi’s face was stunned, unable to utter a word. These prestigious military decorations, once listed in the Imperial Archives, these obvious facts, because the zerg Queen was gentle and never mentioned them, because Yi Er was willful and never cared, were all ignored by everyone unconsciously or deliberately.
Because Yi Er’s female father died early, because Yi Er’s promotion in the military district went smoothly, there were not many zergs who remembered the sacrifices Yi Er and his family had made for the Empire.
They only remembered that behind Yi Er was a royal family with some distant relation to the zerg Queen, not even her direct descendants, so how royal could they be?
Now that Yi Er had spoken these words, each word weighed heavily on the ears of the zergs present, and suddenly everyone realized that Yi Er… indeed had the capital to be arrogant and unruly.
Ke Lisi became distracted, suddenly remembering that he had tried everything to get on Yi Er’s blind date list, all for the unseen things behind Yi Er?
That was the glory that his family had never had before, doesn’t have now, and is unlikely to have in the future.
“I…” Ke Lisi began to organize his words, but it was too difficult to say them out loud, so difficult that he didn’t even know where to start, “I apologize…”
“Stop.” Qi Yao suddenly stepped out from behind Yi Er, interrupting Ke Lisi.
Ke Lisi looked up in confusion, meeting Qi Yao’s gaze.
Qi Yao said, “I won’t accept any private apologies from you.”
Ke Lisi froze, even Yi Er looked at Qi Yao in confusion.
Wasn’t he supposed to apologize? Why suddenly refuse to accept it?
Qi Yao smiled and said, “Insulting Yi Er, inciting comments in the news section, and tricking me into coming here to teach me a lesson. Do you think a few words from you would make me accept your apology?”
Ke Lisi gradually focused his eyes, glaring at Qi Yao hatefully, and hoarsely said, “Then what do you want?”
Qi Yao didn’t back down at all, and persisted, “It’s simple. Before nightfall, publish a public apology statement on the star network, apologize for your disrespectful words and actions towards Yi Er, apologize for distorting the facts of what happened at the marriage registry yesterday, apologize for inciting comments in the news, and apologize for setting up a trap under the guise of inviting me here today.”
Qi Yao added, “If you miss one, I won’t acknowledge your apology.”
Yi Er found it feasible and added, “If you miss one, I won’t acknowledge your apology either.”
In order to make Ke Lisi understand the facts and the consequences of not doing so, Yi Er added, “And I will also report to the zerg Emperor that you disrespected the descendants of the heroes who died in the 92nd Defense War and the hero generals who protected the zerg Queen, and request that the zerg Emperor revoke your noble status. Hey? I can’t remember, I have to go back and look up the Noble Code, to see if the zerg Emperor has the right to revoke a family’s noble status if an ordinary noble family does not have imperial-level honors within three generations and makes a mistake?”
Ke Lisi stared in horror.
Yi Er just casually mentioned it, but unexpectedly blew Ke Lisi’s cover, suddenly understanding that this was seizing Ke Lisi’s weakness.
Revoking a family’s noble status, making a noble male zerg fall into dust, is more painful than letting him die.
“Ke Lisi, will you sincerely publish the apology statement?” Yi Er asked with a smile.
Ke Lisi closed his eyes, dejectedly said, “I will.”

“You just said that, I thought you were going to do something to Ke Lisi?” Qi Yao said sitting in Yi Er’s aircraft.
Yi Er turned on the autopilot of the aircraft, “What? Did you want me to cripple him or kill him?”
“…”
Qi Yao suddenly remembered the original owner, combined with the original owner’s ending, the possibility of Ke Lisi being beaten half to death by Yi Er was a hundred percent.
Seeing Qi Yao not speaking, Yi Er explained seriously, “If I hadn’t been married, I might have decided whether to maim him or kill him based on my mood, but now that I’m married, assaulting a male zerg would be punishable, do you want me to commit a crime because of Ke Lisi?”
Just married, the spouse is punished, all in all, it’s as good as being widowed.
Qi Yao said, “I don’t want that.”
“Well, I don’t want to either. It’s not worth it for just a Ke Lisi,” Yi Er said, then opened his terminal. He didn’t say anything else to Qi Yao. Qi Yao didn’t know what Yi Er was looking at, so he quietly leaned over, his dark eyes shining as he stared at Yi Er’s terminal. “What are you looking at?”
On the star network linked to the terminal, Qi Yao’s comments had been completely submerged, and the hot news comments had also been closed without further replies. As soon as Qi Yao leaned over, Yi Er showed him the contents.
Qi Yao didn’t understand. Wasn’t it still the same news? What was there to see?
“What’s wrong?”
“Check if Ke Lisi’s apology letter has been posted?”
Based on his experience on Blue Star, Qi Yao was sure, “We just came out, it won’t be posted so soon.”
“How long will it take then?”
“At least give him an hour to organize his thoughts.” Qi Yao didn’t expect Yi Er to be so impatient, finding it oddly cute. He chuckled twice and asked, “Hey, by the way, why did you suddenly come?”
“Dean told me you were meeting Ke Lisi. I was worried, so I put down my work to come and see.”
Qi Yao muttered, “Why does Dean have to say everything.”
“To prevent you from going to the kitchen again, I ordered Dean to report every move of yours in detail.”
Qi Yao was horrified. “…Yi Er, are you spying on your master?”
Yi Er didn’t see anything wrong with it. “If I don’t, I wouldn’t know if you were being bullied outside.”
Qi Yao’s male instinct wouldn’t allow him to be looked down upon by his female zerg, so he lied, “How could I be bullied? As an A-grade male zerg, can’t I handle it?”
Yi Er glanced at him sideways. “Don’t be blindly confident. There’s also a mature SS-grade male zerg beside you. Level suppression, that’s a substantial blow.”
“Level suppression, substantial blow…” Qi Yao propped his chin, not feeling discouraged at all, but instead began to fantasize. Muttering, “When will I experience the second molting and grow into a mature zerg?”
Yi Er’s blue eyes glanced at Qi Yao thoughtfully. “Are you looking forward to the second molting?”
“Of course, after molting, I can become stronger! You don’t know, after Morin’s second molting, even his spiritual power has developed. I want to be like that too!”
Yi Er recalled Qi Yao’s earlier overconfidence and smiled, “What do you want your spiritual power entity to look like?”
Qi Yao, half expecting and half forced to accept reality, “…I haven’t thought about it. What about you?”
“I haven’t thought about it.”
“When is your second molting?”
“I don’t know.”
“Have you looked forward to the second molting?”
“…No.”
“I know it’s difficult for female zergs to bear the second molting. Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll do my best to make sure you don’t suffer any pain, even if my molting hasn’t ended by then.”
Qi Yao’s words seemed to carry a magical power, causing a strange and inexplicable feeling to rise in Yi Er’s heart. It actually made him have a faint anticipation for the second molting.
He hurriedly stopped this thought, looked ahead, and abruptly changed the subject, asking the question that had arisen since receiving Dean’s notification: “You’re not usually impulsive. Why did you rashly accept Ke Lisi’s invitation?”
Qi Yao was immersed in his fantasy of his spiritual power entity, not noticing Yi Er’s unnaturalness. He honestly said, “Because he said he would apologize, and besides, I was bored.”
“Bored?” Yi Er didn’t quite agree. “Don’t you have Xiao En to watch movies with?”
Qi Yao felt like Yi Er was treating him like a canary, but he didn’t want to be a canary. He wanted something to do, wanted to make money, and he still owed Yi Er a lot of things that needed to be solved with income.
“I don’t like the movies Xiao En picks, and besides, you won’t let me cook to pass the time.”
Yi Er didn’t mind. “If you don’t want to watch movies, then don’t. Just live like you did before you got married.”
He couldn’t anymore. The previous host went crazy trying to become a noble, studying noble etiquette every day, and trying every means to contact noble female zergs. But he was too busy, he didn’t have time to think about anything else.
But he didn’t have that goal. His goal was just to improve his favorability and achieve an HE ending with Yi Er.
But as soon as Yi Er went to work, he was alone, he couldn’t cling to Yi Er every day, Yi Er didn’t allow him to study cooking to pass the time, and the time he spent with Yi Er could only be condensed into the evening, which was already limited, and he didn’t know if it would be enough to improve his favorability.
Suddenly, Qi Yao had an idea.
“Yi Er, at the tea restaurant, you said you could send Morin a job invitation letter. Since he doesn’t need it, why don’t you give me this opportunity?”
Yi Er seemed to have heard something incredible. How could a male zerg come up with such a strange and outrageous idea? He couldn’t believe it and said, “I was just talking nonsense. How could you take it seriously?”
Qi Yao found it difficult to explain the salaryman mentality that says not working equals death, so he could only bring out the most convincing reason for Yi Er, “Because I want to spend more time with you.”
“?”
Qi Yao’s face didn’t blush and his heart didn’t race. “I not only want to see you at night but also during the day.”
“…”
Qi Yao wasn’t feeling guilty at all. “Really, Yi Er, when I’m alone at home, I really miss you.”
