Chapter 1981: Day 14 of Being Pampered by My Wife in the Zerg Clan

The banquet.

Not only did Ze Nuo'er have his suspicions, but the nobles attending the banquet were fully aware of this trip's purpose.

Therefore, when Jin Chen arrived at Prince Gaiwen's mansion, many richly dressed females and sub-females couldn't help but direct eager gazes at him.

The nobles, in unison, maintained polite distance toward Ze Nuo'er, though they didn't really care.

"Lord Jin Chen."

Finally, an impatient sub-female stepped forward, "May I offer you a drink?"

Jin Chen paused his steps slightly, but did not take the cup.

The beautiful sub-female thought she had a chance, her heartbeat skipped a beat, "My lord, I am of the An Dongni family..."

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at the silent female beside him, and tilted his head slightly in distress.

You aren't going to manage him?

Ze Nuo'er inexplicably understood those words from the male master's gaze.

Feeling a subtle concern, as if it gave him justification, Ze Nuo'er stepped forward half a pace to block Jin Chen, raising his hand to deflect the sub-female's cup.

"The male master doesn't want to agree to you."

An Dongni froze, his fear of him almost baseless, yet he was unwilling to give up.

"Major General Ze Nuo'er, Lord Jin Chen hasn't refused, has he? Or… are you jealous?"

A female's jealousy is something males cannot tolerate.

Jin Chen once again wrapped his arms around Ze Nuo'er's waist and said timely, "That is indeed my intention."

In the banquet hall, everyone whose attention was on the handsome male heard the following words crystal clearly.

"My female and I are deeply affectionate; I have no desire for a female attendant. Sorry."

An Dongni bit his lip, as if hearing something like an Arabian night tale.

"Don't joke," he thought, "Surely Lord Jin Chen just got married, and he finds Major General Ze Nuo'er fresh."

How could a male only like military females? That simply doesn't exist!

An Dongni composed his smile and bade farewell, "No problem, my lord; I'll still contact you."

Jin Chen: "...?"

Jin Chen quietly moved over to complain to Ze Nuo'er, "He seems not to understand Zerg language."

Ze Nuo'er chuckled but didn't continue the topic.

"Male master, we should go upstairs; Prince Gaiwen is still waiting."

The males in the banquet hall who witnessed this scene each had their thoughts, yet unanimously turned their gazes toward Hubert.

Hubert was about to crush his wine glass, "Reel in your gazes!"

"Oh, sorry, Hubert." Otto shrugged, smiling with deep meaning.

"I just suddenly remembered, An Dongni ought to have been your female attendant."

An Dongni's female parent is a military councilor; likewise, Hubert wanted to rope in that sub-female into his household, but now she's chasing after Jin Chen!

Hubert smashed his wine glass, "Bug shit! Otto, are you itching to speak?"

Otto didn't care, scoffing, "What's got you riled up? Jin Chen is an S-rank male; everyone knows which side to pick."

He had tolerated Hubert's arrogant displays for far too long.

"All right, Hubert." Another male pulled Hubert back, "Today is Prince Gaiwen's domain; we can't cause trouble."

"I heard you picked up a female from the frontier star; what does she look like?" He shifted the topic.

Hubert's complexion indeed improved greatly, even to the point of being pleasant, "You don't understand; I took a liking to him not because of his looks."

Thinking of Wei Ka's mysterious talent, Hubert cast a venomous glance toward the stairs, mentally plotting how to completely ruin that stinking bug, Jin Chen.

Just as they reached the second floor, Jin Chen was pulled by Duke Claude to meet Prince Gaiwen, while Ze Nuo'er was taken away by Earl Eaton on the pretext of military discussion.

Aside from Jin Chen, every bug knows what this is for.

Ze Nuo'er's expression flickered with a moment of struggle, yet he still followed his female parent away.

"Ze Nuo'er, you must learn to be a qualified female consort."

In the garden, Earl Eaton spoke privately to the offspring who made him proud.

"You are the glory of the Ze Nuo'er family, the empire's youngest major general, and are about to be promoted to lieutenant general."

"As long as you secure Lord Jin Chen's female consort status and have a female attendant by his side, you can return to the battlefield."

Ze Nuo'er's fingers at his sides tightened, his face cold: "I know, female parent."

Earl Eaton softly sighed, placing his hand on Ze Nuo'er's shoulder, "Even if he indulges you endlessly, I will not allow you to be lovesick because of it."

"Ze Nuo'er, survival and plunder are our family's glory."

Upstairs.

Jin Chen stood in the center with a subtle mood, the sub-females and females on either side filled with hidden anticipation.

Above, the nobles who held power, eagerly awaiting Jin Chen's choice, as well as Prince Gaiwen.

What an absurd scene, Jin Chen complained.

Do you Zerg also have a 'no solicitation' rule?

Jin Chen was a bit angry, "What you mean is, I must today take a female attendant, right?"

Prince Gaiwen wondered, "My lord, you seem dissatisfied."

They simply don't understand; isn't this a good thing for males, and doesn't even require deliberate screening?

Jin Chen pressed his lips, his arrogant displeasure evident to all, "I don't need a female attendant."

"Or rather..."

Jin Chen's tone shifted, he lowered his eyes in disappointment, unconsciously furrowing his brows, "Staying on the main star, do I even lack the right to choose freely?"

All the insects: Huh? What does that mean??

You're not staying on the Main Star; where do you want to go??

Prince Gaiwen took a breath before recalling that the Claude family seemed, appeared, and indeed were nobles from the neighboring Glazed Star.

That's not allowed!

The Main Star absolutely does not allow S-rank male insects to leave!
