Chapter 1994: Being Spoiled by My Wife in the Insect Clan 27

At the end of the wisteria flower corridor.

Zenuoer watched their male master approach step by step, their eye sockets slightly reddening, their thoughts complex to the point of being indescribable.

When Jin Chen drew near, Zenuoer looked up at him, moisture glimmering at the corners of their eyes, yet they still raised a faint smile.

"Male master, is that drink good?"

"Not bad, so, my Zenuoer."

Jin Chen cupped their face, pulling them close, "Who made you cry?"

Zenuoer parted their lips, the beating heart in their chest swelling, urgently wanting to draw near the male master, wanting to feel the soothing pheromone of sandalwood.

Thus they wrapped their arms around Jin Chen's shoulders, tilted their head to rest against the palm, voice a little hoarse, "It's me."

"I've been missing you a little, so I cried."

"Too lame an excuse."

Jin Chen leaned in, biting Zenuoer's lip as if punishing them, "Don't lie to me, Zenuoer."

"Just seeing your female parent once, and you start lying to me again; next time I won't let you meet them."

"Their tone even turned a bit fierce."

Zenuoer laughed, their rippling brows and eyes especially captivating under the silver moon, letting the male master sit beside them, then leaning into an embrace brimming with sandalwood.

"Then you must keep an eye on me," Zenuoer whispered, cheek lightly brushing Jin Chen's collarbone and shoulder, "Don't let me come back, come back here, and furthermore..."

"That punishment chamber that ran through their youth."

Jin Chen hummed, not catching the latter words, "What else?"

"Moreover, I'd like to ask for a kiss from you."

Zenuoer's eyelashes fluttered, their heart tingling in waves, lingering as they brushed against Jin Chen's lip corner.

Jin Chen has always been eager to fulfill the female consort's requests.

Thus they pressed Zenuoer against the corridor's pillar, lips and tongues entwining, easily stealing breath, even more fierce than their previous kisses.

Zenuoer happened to need this sense of security.

They let themselves relax, the subtle sense of suffocation preventing them from thinking of anything else, fully feeling the partner before them, the male master's fingers warm on their face, the breath filled with winding, soothing sandalwood.

Jin Chen gently rubbed Zenuoer's side waist, avoiding the inexplicably appearing wound on their back, their eyes dimming for a moment.

"Zenuoer," he slightly withdrew, giving them a chance to breathe, foreheads touching.

"From now on I won't let you come back, not even once."

"... Okay."

Zenuoer nodded obediently, actively wrapping their arms around Jin Chen's neck and kissing again, a gathering of light in their dark eyes.

Jin Chen kissed more fiercely, not giving Zenuoer any chance to be sad.

In a daze, Zenuoer leaned against the pillar, their vacant eyes taking in the entire palace.

This is the private palace of Zenuoer's family; even the Insect Emperor lacks the right to reclaim it, representing the supreme glory of an ancient aristocracy.

They grew up here from childhood, their conduct strictly regulated, all etiquette and thoughts formed in the punishment chamber.

But now, they have cast off all restraint and inhibition, kissing here, indulging.

Emotions wandering beyond order burst forth to an uncontrollable extent.

Zenuoer thought, having discarded this family's faith long ago, they already had a new faith.

They were being kissed by the faith that belonged solely to them.

"Male master..." Zenuoer tightened their grip on Jin Chen's neck, voice tinged with a tremor, "May I show you my wings?"

"Right here, okay?"

"Okay."

Jin Chen held Zenuoer tighter, coaxing agreement, letting them do whatever they wanted.

——

No one dares to question that each time at a banquet, Lord Jin Chen always brings his female consort away early.

Now the focus is not even on the soon-to-be-triple-differentiating Huobote, but on the materialization of mental power.

That day, the male insects who were threatened in the garden and even slapped were not only not soothed, but each was summoned to the imperial palace for questioning.

They all personally witnessed the existence of the materialized form.

Long ago, according to historical records, there also appeared extremely few male insects with materialized mental power, but back then the S-rank was not yet scarce.

This perhaps means that Jin Chen is not merely S-rank, but that the currently usable detector only goes up to S-rank.

If that is true...

"Your Majesty, if Lord Jin Chen is not merely S-rank, and if he is willing to cooperate with mental power extraction, perhaps we could suppress the mental power frenzy disease of frontline soldiers, and furthermore... develop a more useful suppressant."

"Perhaps not only this, but everything hinges on that lord."

The Insect Emperor pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "Send a visitation card to Lord Jin Chen; in a few days, I will go to see him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"No... wait." The Insect Emperor raised a hand again: "First, have the military department hold a meeting; the virus matter cannot be delayed any further."

"Yes."

The meeting lasted three days.

Bad news from beyond the Main Star came one after another.

The virus spread rapidly, and posts on the Starnet could not be deleted fast enough.

Space pirates took advantage of the chaos to loot; the northern parts of two planets have been plundered, refugees urgently needing settlement.

Dark cave monsters surged back, continually harassing the southern planets; female military soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Even though the imperial family and military department kept things tightly sealed, the unrest and unease spreading across the main star continued to expand, a portent of the impending disaster.

Ze Nuoer had to cut his marriage leave short, and after the final meeting ended, he was entrusted with a mission in a crisis.

He will go together with Kaiwen, leading the First Army Corps' assault warship to the southern planet to provide support and kill the dark cave monster.

"Ze Nuoer, go back and properly report to His Excellency Jin Chen." Kaiwen patted his shoulder, a little worried, "I do know how special His Excellency Jin Chen thinks of you, but going to the battlefield is no child's play; he……might not agree."

During this time Ze Nuoer was busy at the military department, and His Excellency Jin Chen would come to keep him company every few days, even bringing homemade meals himself!

God knows how much they wanted to rush over and seize the lunch box the first time they saw it.

"I know, don't worry." Ze Nuoer shook his head; what he was worried about deep down was something else.

He cannot stay by his male lord's side day and night; how should he suppress his longing, and how should he guard against those female insects?

Returning home, Ze Nuoer held the request document, without hesitation but with slow steps, walked toward the study.

Recently, Jin Chen has become very interested in researching the star net.

"My lord."

Ze Nuoer walked to Jin Chen's side, took the hand that Jin Chen had raised wanting to embrace, and almost reverently placed a kiss on the back of his hand.

Immediately he squatted down, leaning against Jin Chen's knee, affectionately rubbing against him, and said, "My lord, I am going to the battlefield."

Jin Chen had anticipated this; at the moment he was not too surprised, rubbing Ze Nuoer's cheek with his palm.

"When will you depart, to kill the space pirates or the dark cave monster?"

Ze Nuoer: "Dark cave monster."

"I will miss you." Ze Nuoer watched Jin Chen take the request document and sign it without hesitation, suddenly feeling uneasy inside.

"I will miss you too, Ze Nuoer." Jin Chen pulled him up to sit in his embrace, pinched his neck and gave him a kiss, "Don't overthink it; I won't restrict your freedom to go to the battlefield—everything must be premised on safety."

Of course, he wouldn't just idle away at home.
