Chapter 1996: The Days I'm Spoiled by My Wife in the Zerg Tribe 29

Ze Nuo'er led the warship fleet to the edge of Rupert Star, and it was already the seventh day.

Rupert Star has a forest that spans the entire planet, almost entirely occupied by void cave monsters; high-frequency ionizing radiation overflows in the air to form a protective layer, so the flagship and warships can only constantly patrol above the star system, engaging in hit-and-run battles.

When Ze Nuo'er first arrived, even the time for a quick wash needed to be squeezed out; only on the third day could he barely rest, and he made the first video call to Jin Chen.

During the following four days, the video calls hardly ever stopped each night.

The softness cultivated in Ze Nuo'er at home faded away, revealing his sharpness and ruthlessness; even the timid female soldiers dared not look directly at him.

But in front of the camera, the love in his eyes remained as ever.

Eighth day, late at night.

Ze Nuo'er didn't even have time to take off his combat uniform; he seized the moment before Jin Chen went to sleep to make a video call, and the floating screen pulled up on the terminal awaited connection.

One ring, four rings……

The video call was hung up.

Ze Nuo'er froze for a moment, then sat up straight, his fingertips trembling as he dialed the second video call.

After ten or so seconds, just as Ze Nuo'er could barely restrain himself from immediately contacting the female soldiers on guard near his home, the video call finally connected.

Ze Nuo'er relaxed back, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes, which then turned to puzzlement.

"Male lord? What are you doing?" All he saw was pitch black, as if the terminal were covered by a hand, with only a red glow seeping from the edges.

"Ah…… nothing."

Jin Chen's tone was a bit hesitant, and there were other voices speaking nearby; Ze Nuo'er keenly heard that it was something that could be discussed only after moving farther away: "Ze Nuo'er, I'm not convenient right now."

Ze Nuo'er instantly tensed his body, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, and he pressed his lips together.

"What's inconvenient that I can't even look?" Ze Nuo'er's eyes darkened, his tone low yet soft, as if deliberately coaxing: "Male lord, let me see you, okay? I really miss you."

The screen opposite remained black, yet a sound of laughter trying to cover something up came through, as if deliberately masking the sound of footsteps walking away.

"Just wait a moment."

What to wait for, how long, why can't I look now, isn't the male lord at home?

Ze Nuo'er wanted to question, but lacked the courage to speak up, too afraid it was what he thought.

"Male lord…… you promised me." Ze Nuo'er whispered, with a persistence he himself hadn't noticed, his heart feeling as if being ruthlessly gripped: "You must not be touched by other female insects."

But the video call was hung up at that moment.

Ze Nuo'er felt a chill all over, and before he could react, he heard the door to his private rest room being knocked.

And then came that voice, laced with a smile.

"Ze Nuo'er, be good, open the door."

The door opened, and Ze Nuo'er stared in disbelief at Jin Chen appearing at the doorway, his brain freezing as he stood rooted to the spot.

"Male lord……"

Jin Chen embraced the stunned female consort in his arms, his fingertip lightly touching her slightly damp eye corners, and said, "Now it's convenient—do you want to look your fill?"

"How… how did you come here?" Ze Nuo'er's body reacted faster than his frozen thoughts, and he instinctively clung to his warm companion.

Surprise and joy then flooded his entire body, and he found he could not leave this embrace even more than he had imagined.

"I've come on behalf of the Imperial Family to console the frontline soldiers." Jin Chen gave a light cough, speaking very politely and formally.

Ze Nuo'er lowered his eyes, the surprise diminishing a little, he buried himself in Jin Chen's embrace and hummed, then after a few seconds shook his head, saying, "I don't believe it."

"You came to see me, right?" Ze Nuo'er stubbornly wanted to hear that answer, licking the side of Jin Chen's lips in a coquettish way.

"Yes, yes."

Jin Chen stopped teasing him, lowered his head to kiss him back, and stroked Ze Nuo'er's somewhat stiff back, saying, "I miss my dear female consort, I can't wait to see you, and I'll give you another surprise."

"Mm……"

Ze Nuo'er's legs went weak, the fingertips resting on Jin Chen's shoulders tensed slightly, and he feebly clung to his clothing.

After eight days of separation, just such an ambiguous light touch made him yearn intensely.

"Male lord……" "Ze Nuo'er, why don't we go inside first?" Jin Chen bit his earlobe and chuckled softly, "This place really isn't convenient."

Ze Nuo'er looked up and saw Jin Chen's stunned subordinates behind him, with An Bo even more at a loss for words.

And also present, who shouldn't be here—the Third Prince of the Empire.

Ze Nuo'er slightly narrowed his eyes, briefly meeting the Third Prince's gaze.

"Be good, don't get distracted." Jin Chen lifted Ze Nuo'er, turned to lock the door, and whispered in his ear, both explanation and accusation: "The Third Prince was sent by the Insect Emperor; no matter what, they won't let me operate a warship alone."

Ze Nuo'er's eyes cleared for a moment, he frowned and said, "This is inherently dangerous—how can you personally pilot a warship?"

"But I missed you." Jin Chen said earnestly, laying Ze Nuo'er on the bed and pinching his cheek, "So I came to stay with you."

Ze Nuo'er's eye sockets grew moist, he knelt up and wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck, kissing him tenderly and passionately, as if trying to merge into flesh and blood.

"Male lord…… male lord……"

How could he doubt, how could he entertain such base thoughts?

Clearly, Jin Chen is so good.

"You said last night that my combat uniform looks good on me…" Ze Nuo'er straddled Jin Chen's lap, his gaze hazy as he licked the side of his neck, "Will you personally take it off for me?"

Jin Chen leaned against the headboard, gently stroking Ze Nuo'er's nape, "Okay."

Meanwhile, outside the rest room.

The stunned melon‑eating crowd was awakened by the sound of the door closing, and An Bo let out a deep sigh: "Holy shit……"

"I never expected to see Lord Jin Chen and Ze Nuo'er showing off their love here."

Subordinate Number One: "Lord Jin Chen said he wants to be a major general, and he can't wait to give you a surprise!"

Subordinate Number Two: "I thought one video call per night was already the limit…… but this is a battlefield!"

How could a male insect dare come to the battlefield!

But just because he missed him, Lord Jin Chen came without hesitation!
