Reborn as the Paranoid Female’s Rejected Sweetheart [Zerg Tribe]

Chapter 56: Extra 06

Emotions were running high.

How should I put it? At that moment, his emotions did indeed surge, just for a few seconds, not even half a minute. Yi Er, the concerned party, didn’t expect that these few seconds would directly lead to his premature birth.

But at that time, he quickly calmed down and even attempted to calm Qi Yao down.

The result of being calm was that he successfully gave birth now, and neither he nor the little one had any accidents.

If one had to attribute it to “emotional excitement,” he felt it was a bit far-fetched.

Yi Er exchanged a glance with Dean, and Dean understood, quietly leaving the ward. Today was Yi Er’s first day of delivery, and Dean had many things to attend to.

In the ward, only Qi Yao and Yi Er remained.

Yi Er had his hand on his chest, possibly because he had already given birth, and the throbbing pain in both his breasts had intensified.

Females facing childbirth would experience the process of breast pain.

After the baby hatched, the first source of food was the eggshell, followed by the milk fruit, and only a very small number of naturally gifted females could lactate, providing a third source of food for the baby.

The feeling of throbbing pain in his chest was exceptionally clear, constantly reminding Yi Er that his breasts were developing, giving him the illusion that he might also have the talent for lactation.

Seeing him silent, Qi Yao asked again, “Why aren’t you speaking? Is it inconvenient? Dean has already left.”

Yi Er pinched the uncomfortable area under the covers, pondering how to explain to Qi Yao. At the time, he was emotionally excited because he thought of letting Qi Yao use his mental power thread to develop his talent and provide a third food source for the little one.

Anyway, since the thread was so good, there was no harm in trying it.

Perhaps because during their endurance battle, Qi Yao had bitten there many times, which gave him this bold idea. As a result, he didn’t learn from his mistakes at all.

The last time he fantasized about letting Qi Yao develop him, the scene of Qi Yao sternly refusing flashed through his mind, but this time, when Qi Yao touched his abdomen, he fantasized about various passionate scenes with his breasts under the protection of mental power threads.

Then, as his emotions surged, just as he was about to face the root of the problem with probing questions, he didn’t dare to say a word from the fantasy scene.

“I…” Yi Er opened his mouth, wracking his brains for a long time, and finally managed to say, “I thought of a great name for the little one.”

“A name?” Qi Yao pondered. After the last punishment, the responsibility of naming the little one mercilessly fell on Yi Er’s shoulders. It hadn’t been long since he received the ten names from Yi Er. Did he come up with a new one this morning?

If it was an unprecedented and unparalleled great name, it was indeed worth getting excited about once.

“What’s it called?” He asked expectantly.

Yi Er’s brain cells were rapidly running, and he blurted out, “Qi Nuo.”

“Qi Nuo?”

Yi Er explained, “I owe Lord an egg, and now I’ve paid it back. Doesn’t that fulfill my promise? So I named him Qi Nuo to show that he is my promise to Lord.”

“…”

With solid reasoning, logic, and profound meaning, Qi Yao couldn’t refute a single word. He was inexplicably convinced and even felt a bit of resonance.

Most importantly, it sounded better than anything they had thought of before.

But was this worth getting emotional about?

Then these two words were too powerful.

“Qi Nuo” Qi Yao repeated.

This might be the best name so far. Qi Yao tentatively accepted it, assessing Yi Er. He couldn’t detect any concealment from his gradually recovering complexion, so he didn’t press him further on whether he was being honest.

By noon, Dai Na came to the Royal Hospital to visit Yi Er.

Because of Yi Er’s status as the General, the Royal Hospital provided him with the best equipment and resources. Coupled with Yi Er’s good physical condition and Qi Yao’s use of mental power to alleviate it, he was in good spirits now.

Dai Na was an experienced mother zerg. Seeing Yi Er talking and laughing, he knew there was no problem.

He also wondered, “Why did he give birth prematurely?”

Yi Er had just used an excuse to deceive Qi Yao, and now he reused it to deceive Dai Na without any change, “I got excited about thinking of a very appropriate name for the little one, so I gave birth prematurely.”

“…?” Dai Na, like Qi Yao, was skeptical about this explanation.

Just because he thought of a name, was it necessary?

He still remembered two months ago when Yi Er quietly went to the Imperial Palace to find him, begging him to give a name.

He had racked his brains and contributed several names, all of which Yi Er had put on the list of candidates. Now, upon hearing that Yi Er had come up with a name himself, he couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “What’s it called?”

“Qi Nuo.”

“…”

Dai Na didn’t think it was any better than the names he had suggested.

Yi Er boasted, “Lord thinks it’s pretty good.”

Then he recounted the origin of this name again.

In the midst of chatting, Qi Yao pushed the egg over to show Dai Na.

According to the queen’s obstetrician, when the eggshell was fully formed in the medical box, the egg could leave the medical box. Then, after the larvae hatched on their own, they could leave the hospital.

After inspecting the egg for a while, Dai Na didn’t disturb Yi Er’s rest any longer.

Qi Yao escorted Daina out.

As they walked, Dai Na asked him, “Did Yi Er really go into premature labor because he came up with a name for the little one?”

When Dai Na chatted with Yi Er, Qi Yao wasn’t present, so he didn’t know they had talked about these things.

“He said so, so I’ll believe it for now.”

Since Qi Yao said so, Dai Na didn’t continue to inquire further. After walking a few steps, he remembered one more thing and said, “By the way, take some time to go to the Imperial Palace. I have some ointment to give to Yi Er. I forgot to bring it when I left in a hurry earlier.”

“Ointment?”

Qi Yao had been with Yi Er all along and hadn’t seen him injured anywhere, so he didn’t understand why Dai Na wanted to give Yi Er ointment.

With a gentle smile, Dai Na explained, which was actually inconvenient for a male zerg, but he had forgotten to tell Yi Er about it when he left the ward just now, so he had to remind Qi Yao with a stiff scalp, “You see, as the female approaches childbirth, various hormones are secreted abundantly, especially causing continuous breast pain. Severe cases can affect sleep and even produce a lactation illusion. Yi Er should be experiencing this now. The ointment I have is exclusively formulated by a renowned obstetrician after retirement in the empire, which remarkably alleviates breast pain. It can be used for Yi Er.”

“W… What?!” Qi Yao’s worldview was shaken. Yi Er had concealed it perfectly, and he had even forgotten that female zergs had such troubles!

“For a female zerg, this is as common as it gets. You two are young and there’s no elder reminder either… Anyway, this period will be tough, but it’ll pass. Remember to tell Yi Er not to scratch. If he scratches and breaks the skin, it’ll affect his appearance.”

“Mmm… alright.” Qi Yao responded slowly, but in his mind, the image of Yi Er scratching his bare chest and exposed breasts suddenly emerged. His ears unconsciously grew hot, and he quickly lowered his head to conceal his embarrassment. “I… I’ll ask Dean to get the ointment.”

“That’s fine.”

After seeing off Dai Na, Qi Yao couldn’t shake off Dai Na’s words from his mind.

Yi Er had never mentioned his chest discomfort to him, nor had he exhibited any unusual behavior in front of him. Was it not time yet?

To be cautious, it was better to prepare the ointment in advance.

With these thoughts in mind, Qi Yao returned to the ward.

In the ward…

With no one else around, Yi Er lifted his shirt.

The sensation of itching and pain became increasingly apparent. He wanted to scratch, to relieve the itch.

There’s about forty characters here describing the state and mental thoughts, Yi Er says to imagine it yourselves.

His fingers lightly scratched around the area that needed censoring, fearing to leave marks. Though he didn’t scratch too hard, it was still a relief.

The ointment he applied only offered limited relief. Since there were no one present, he indulged in scratching.

When Qi Yao entered, he saw Yi Er sitting on the bed, his shirt pulled up to his collarbone, vigorously scratching and rubbing his chest.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Fortunately, Dai Na had educated him beforehand, so he wasn’t shocked and could still accept it.

But as Qi Yao solemnly approached, Yi Er lost his composure.

He quickly pulled down his shirt, careful not to touch the scratched area, feeling flustered and struggling to explain, “My Lord, I… I wasn’t…”

Qi Yao remained silent throughout, and as he approached, he lifted Yi Er’s shirt to reveal numerous bloody scratches on his upper body.

Yi Er thought Qi Yao would explode in anger, but to his surprise, Qi Yao remained calmer than himself. He opened up his body, allowing Qi Yao to inspect his chest.

Qi Yao: “When did this start?”

“A few days ago, it started to feel swollen, but it wasn’t noticeable until this morning.”

“Itchy?”

“Mmm, and a bit painful.”

“Endure for now. His Highness said he has some anti-itch medicine, I’ll ask Dean to fetch it.”

“… ”

Yi Er naturally knew there were medications to alleviate this discomfort. He had discussed it with the maternity doctor during childbirth, but he declined medication, opting to endure it.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Yao sensed Yi Er had something to say.

Yi Er pondered for a moment, “My Lord, what if I start lactating? The medicine might not be good for the baby.”

“… You can… lactate?” Qi Yao found it hard to accept. Given his understanding of Yi Er’s chest muscles, it was unlikely to possess such a miraculous function.

Yi Er insisted, “What if?”

Qi Yao didn’t believe it at all and nonchalantly replied, “What if not? Let’s deal with the itching first.”

“But Dean will take a while,” Yi Er said, placing his hand on his chest again.

“Endure it for now,” Qi Yao said.

“I can’t endure it. It’s both painful and itchy.”

“In that case, I’ll go find the maternity doctor for some medication.”

“Wait.” Qi Yao said as he got up.

Yi Er stopped him, “No, Your Majesty.”

“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

Yi Er looked hopeful, “I have a more effective method than medication.”

“What method?”

“Your Majesty, come a bit closer.”

Qi Yao obediently approached, but the next moment, Yi Er’s arm wrapped around his shoulder, pulling him towards himself, and both zergs fell back on the bed with a forceful motion.

Qi Yao, afraid of pressing on Yi Er’s abdomen, quickly tried to get up.

But Yi Er held him tightly, saying, “Your Majesty, when I was itching before, you would help relieve it here.”

He gestured to Qi Yao’s lips.

“But now it’s not just itching, it’s hurting too, this isn’t enough… we need external force.”

External force? What does that mean?

Apparently, Qi Yao had written all his doubts on his face, and seeing him perplexed, Yi Er explained shamelessly, “Your Majesty, it’s blocked by milk, so I’m in pain like this. You can help me clear it.”

“!”

Qi Yao widened his eyes in astonishment. How could Yi Er be so convinced that he would lactate?!

Yi Er continued, “Your psychic threads can do it.”

“!!!”

After brewing for half a day, it turns out he was waiting here!

This female zerg, why does he always try every means to covet his psychic threads? Either fantasizing about entering the reproductive cavity, or attempting to use them to unblock mammary glands!

Qi Yao quickly climbed off Yi Er, his eyes fixed firmly on the female insect below him, who was three parts strong and seven parts weak, and said coldly, “How long have you been coveting it?”

“…”

“Since this morning?”

Yi Er dared not say, but it was quite obvious.

Qi Yao saw through everything from his flickering pupils. “So you were emotionally excited this morning just because of this!”

“…”

Qi Yao’s voice suddenly raised, “And you lied to me, saying it was because you thought of a name for the little one?!”

“…”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Where could Yi Er dare to speak? His fingers were pitifully scratching his chest, and he said plaintively, “Your Majesty…”

Qi Yao was amused by his appearance, unable to contain his emotions that had just risen, and burst out laughing.

Such a large female zerg, fearless of the heavens and the earth, but unable to deal with those two pieces of flesh in front of his chest, couldn’t help but laugh, “Stop scratching.”

Yi Er, not angry, scratched even more wantonly, “But it’s uncomfortable.”

Qi Yao pushed his hand away and replaced it with his own, using a gentle force to scratch for him.

Yi Er closed his eyes in enjoyment, “Your Majesty, use a bit more force, like the force you use when tearing usually.”

“…”

“Or maybe suck on it, maybe there’ll be a surprise.”

“…”

“Do you still want me to scratch for you?”

Yi Er quickly closed his mouth.

After scratching for Yi Er for a while, Qi Yao finally couldn’t bear the soreness in his hand, and gave up, “Let’s use medicine first. After the little one hatches and we return home, I’ll help you clear it.”

“Can you clear it with psychic threads?”

“…. With my mouth!”

Little Qi Nuo was very tenacious. After being kept in the medical box for more than a week, the eggshell had completely hardened.

On a sunny afternoon, he broke free from the medical box, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, and began to tap.

The eggshell cracked.

At first, the smooth, white eggshell only cracked a seam. As the egg kept swaying, the crack made faint “clicking” sounds, spreading across the entire egg.

Qi Yao and Yi Er held their breath.

The light emitted by the obstetrician pierced through the eggshell, clearly illuminating the figure of little Qi Nuo inside the eggshell. It allowed Qi Yao and Yi Er to see the entire process of their offspring breaking out of the shell.

The B-grade larva still lacked intelligence. Relying on instinct, little Qi Nuo used all his strength to kick out a hole in the eggshell.

The obstetrician whispered, “He’s looking for the weakest point in the eggshell.”

Suddenly, with a crisp “crack,” little Qi Nuo’s right foot kicked through the eggshell, greeting everyone first.

A pink and tender little chubby foot, with five tiny toes, kept wiggling.

Yi Er frowned and complained, “Why is it a foot?”

Then, a little chubby hand emerged.

Qi Yao said, “This time it’s a hand.”

It seemed that little Qi Nuo had found the knack of breaking the shell. With a few more movements, another small hand pushed away the obstructing eggshell, revealing a chubby little face.

At the sight of so many faces outside the eggshell, the little baby blinked his deep blue eyes, which were similar to his female father, and suddenly burst into tears, “Waah!”

The crying instantly filled the entire ward.

The obstetrician was afraid that his cry wasn’t loud enough. Hearing this loud crying, he comforted Qi Yao and Yi Er, “Little Qi Nuo is very healthy.”

Yi Er lifted little Qi Nuo out of the remaining half of the eggshell and hugged him, and instantly, little Qi Nuo stopped crying.

With watery blue eyes, he blinked and stared at his female father, seemingly trying to figure out the familiar and comforting breath.

Yi Er handed little Nuo to Qi Yao, saying, “Your Majesty, look, black hair.”

Their offspring, with black hair and blue eyes, combined their characteristics and was a spirited little male.

Little Qi Nuo blinked his big eyes and glanced at Qi Yao, giggling and waving his hands. Accidentally, his chubby hand brushed off a strand of hair on Yi Er’s shoulder, making Yi Er grimace, which caused Qi Yao to laugh along.

Yi Er felt both pain and joy. After being pregnant for four and a half months, the male zerg had given him enough essence and nourishment. Their offspring was truly familiar with Qi Yao’s aura. As soon as he saw Qi Yao, he expressed his affection for him with laughter.

After little Qi Nuo hatched, he stayed in the Royal Hospital for a few days, and then Yi Er took him home.

That day, Yi Er felt very frustrated.

Because the obstetrician told him that female zergs who could lactate were chosen ones, perhaps one in ten thousand female zergs would have that ability.

Unfortunately, Yi Er didn’t become that one in ten thousand.

He actively recovered, using medication only when necessary, thinking every day that when they returned home, Qi Yao would help him lactate.

Unexpectedly, in the end, his two pectoral muscles were really just pectoral muscles.

Apart from some swelling and pain stimulated by his own hormones, they had no other extra functions.

“Sigh…” On the way home, Yi Er kept sighing.

It wasn’t until they entered the house that Qi Yao couldn’t bear it anymore. “What’s so disappointing about this?”

Yi Er couldn’t express his exuberant thoughts to Qi Yao. His sovereign was different from other sovereigns, everything

Dangerous attempts could never happen to him.

Especially now that they had added a new member to their family, those great dreams were even less likely to come true.

Qi Yao took out a milk fruit and put it in little Qi Nuo’s hand to play with. He poked little Qi Nuo’s chubby cheeks and comforted the despondent Yi Er amidst little Qi Nuo’s giggles, “Look, the little one has milk fruit, he can eat and play well.”

Yi Er lowered his eyes in loneliness.

Qi Yao handed little Qi Nuo to Dean, freeing his hands to embrace Yi Er from behind, gently rubbing his chest through the fabric, “Feeling better?”

“Much better.”

The ointment given by Dai Na was remarkably effective. It only took a few applications to relieve the discomfort, but it also confirmed that his chest was nothing out of the ordinary.

Qi Yao reached into Yi Er’s coat.

The mosaic-like swelling on his pectoral muscles, soft and tender due to the swelling, was the size of a soybean and felt quite sensitive when touched.

Suddenly, Qi Yao got a mischievous idea, teasingly pinching with his thumb and forefinger, “How about this?”

“Hiss…” Yi Er frowned slightly, unable to help but let out a low groan.

Not pinching was fine, but once pinched, all sorts of sensations came flooding back.

He turned his head and saw Dean carrying little Qi Nuo away. Smiling at Qi Yao, he whispered softly in his ear, “Let’s go, back to our room.”

Then he bent down to pick up Qi Yao’s knee and strode up the stairs.

Qi Yao was startled and almost exclaimed, quietly admonishing him, “You just gave birth, don’t be so vigorous.”

“But I’m a female zerg, I’ve already recovered.”

“Still, be careful.”

Yi Er didn’t listen at all, “My Lord said he would help me lactate.”

“You don’t have milk, so don’t force it.”

“But it was you who made it itchy…”

“If it’s itchy, I’ll scratch it for you.”

“You said you wanted to bite?”

“Alright, bite!”

Yi Er took advantage of the situation, “My Lord, little Qi Nuo has been out for more than half a month. Shouldn’t we find time to see if things have recovered down there?”

“…Isn’t it too soon? Let’s wait a bit longer.”

“…Are you saying I’m too passive?”

“…Absolutely not.”

“Then give me a chance to prove that I’m still…”

“It’s really not necessary. It’s broad daylight, let me scratch your itch first.”

“No, I want to prove it now.”

“…”

“…”

Little Qi Nuo was filled with a milk fruit and fell asleep on Dean’s chest.

Dean put him to sleep and carried him back to the nursery upstairs to sleep. When he came out, passing by Yi Er’s bedroom, he suddenly stopped.

It seemed that there was the spiritual power of a male zerg fluctuating.

In the quiet corridor, a faint scent of pheromones brushed past his nose, accompanied by unheard whispers of intimacy.

Dean hurried down the stairs.

He suddenly missed Austin.
