Chapter 1997: The Days I'm Spoiled by My Wife in the Insect Tribe 30

Only the next morning did Ze Nuo'er have time to go see the Third Prince.

Kai Wen also only found out in the morning that Lord Jin Chen had actually come here; thinking of his friend's "worry" before departure, and seeing the lovebirds eating breakfast all gooey, his eye twitched.

As expected, I still need to find time to fight Ze Nuo'er, this guy who lacks any insect nature!

"Lieutenant General Kai Wen, Major General Ze Nuo'er, long time no see."

"Third Prince Ai Saiya, under escort of the guards, came again to the main control ship; his handsome, refined face lit with a smile: 'His Majesty is very concerned about the frontline situation, and specially sent me and Lord Jin Chen to check on you.'"

"By the way, I've brought a new batch of spiritual power diluent."

Kai Wen immediately stood up, "What did you say?"

Ze Nuo'er glanced at Ai Saiya, then picked a better-tasting nutrient solution for Jin Chen, and said softly: "His Majesty and I talked."

"Thank you, Third Prince, for protecting my lord."

His tone was a bit jealous.

Jin Chen raised his gaze, pulled Ze Nuo'er into his embrace, "Alright, as long as you protect me."

Kai Wen belatedly realized, and together with the other surprised female soldiers in the lounge, looked at Jin Chen, "Could it be… the spiritual power diluent is yours…"

Jin Chen nodded, "It's my spiritual power, though still in the trial stage; I've brought a batch for you."

Jin Chen lowered his eyes, drank the nutrient solution held by Ze Nuo'er's hand, and smiled at him: "Ze Nuo'er said the dark cave monsters have a big impact on female soldiers, and there's a risk of provoking riots."

The meaning of his words was simply that, because his female consort is here, he brought the diluent.

Ze Nuo'er pressed his lips, averted his gaze, feigning calm: "An Bo, go collect the female soldiers experiencing spiritual power riots, and first test the diluent."

"Yes!"

An Bo, eyes red, saluted, bowed deeply to Jin Chen before leaving.

Ai Saiya raised an eyebrow, spoke lightly: "Major General Ze Nuo'er, I need to know the current progress."

"Yes," Ze Nuo'er replied.

Not to mention that, after the accompanying fleet learned they could use the spiritual power diluent, many female soldiers with red eyes wanted to come thank Jin Chen, and what should have been an exhausting war of attrition thus became high-spirited.

Inside the main control ship, there wasn't much time to waste.

Ze Nuo'er and Kai Wen reported the situation to Ai Saiya: the dark cave monsters, unlike space pirates, have no battle plan, their movements are bizarre and terrifying, and before landing and entering the forest, they cannot seize the initiative.

The good news is, most of the frenzied dark cave monsters have been drawn here, gradually moving away from the insect-inhabited planet, and the few that fled were promptly pursued by dispatched fleets.

Just as they were reporting, the alarm sounded again.

Jin Chen, still pondering the original plot, lifted his gaze, just about to stand when Ze Nuo'er pressed him back down: "My lord, wait here for me, don't run around."

Jin Chen: "I actually..."

"Can help out."

Before he could finish, Ze Nuo'er kissed him and strode away, cutting him off.

"Team Three, look after Lord Jin Chen here; Teams One, Two, and Four, assemble!"

Ai Saiya shrugged: "I guess I'm just along for the ride."

Jin Chen didn't want to distract Ze Nuo'er; at the most dangerous moment he didn't run around, just as at home, he watched the battle through the Zero Egg's spatial monitoring screen.

Only after Ze Nuo'er returned to the main control room to direct the ships did he wander over.

The atmosphere in the main control room was extremely tense.

Jin Chen's arrival only let Ze Nuo'er briefly divert his attention for half a second to glance, then he immediately plunged back into command.

Ze Nuo'er, clean and decisive, ruthless in battle.

Jin Chen stood at his side, accompanying him silently, not disturbing him, and even failing to wipe away the sweat that dripped from his forehead due to intense spiritual focus.

But Ze Nuo'er could sense that, after many rounds of spiritual entanglement, whenever Jin Chen's spiritual tendrils hooked in, he would instantly respond.

This was a sense of safety never before experienced.

After one star-hour, under Ze Nuo'er's command, Kai Wen led the fleet to attack, attempting to ambush the dark cave monster group inhabiting a nearby planet, and they were all wiped out.

Ze Nuo'er exhaled lightly, pressed the continue auto-halt button, and in an instant was already embraced.

"You've worked hard, my commander."

Jin Chen kissed the corner of his eye.

Ze Nuo'er relaxed all over, wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's neck, "It's truly wonderful to have you."

——

Tenth day.

The main control ship halted at the star system's temporary jump point, and the fleet landed on Rupert Star.

Command authority will be taken over by Lieutenant General Kai Wen, while Ze Nuo'er leads the team deep into the forest to search for the troops trapped by the dark cave monsters.

At this moment, 48 star-hours have passed since the last signal received from the trapped troops.

Nearly seventy frontline soldiers, and an ordinary insectoid from a tourist spacecraft— they cannot be taken lightly.

Jin Chen proposed to come along, but all the insects opposed.

This time Ze Nuo'er's attitude was very firm; no matter what, he wouldn't let Jin Chen come along on the dangerous venture, and after a long coaxing he finally saw some effect.

"Alright, I won't go with you."

Jin Chen finally agreed, pinched Ze Nuo'er's cheek, "Idiot."

"I'll go alone; I still have to go find you."

This is an important node in the original plot.

"If I mess up, I'll have no wife."

Ze Nuo'er breathed a sigh of relief, not grasping the subtext: "My lord, I will return safely to find you."

After the troops departed and went deep into the forest, Jin Chen finally withdrew his gaze.

He turned around, and Kai Wen immediately said, "You should hurry back to the resting room; it's still not safe here."

Jin Chen pondered, then nodded.

"Ai Sai Ya, come with me."

Third Prince:?

Is this appropriate?

He was doubtful, but he glanced at Jin Chen with interest and followed him into the resting room.

The stunned Kai Wen and the deputy officer exchanged a glance.

Kai Wen: "No… it couldn't be, Ze Nuo Er just left a moment ago."

The deputy officer, who had become a fan of His Excellency Jin Chen, said: "Sir, what are you saying? His Excellency is deeply in love with Major General Ze Nuo Er!"

"What are they doing alone in the resting room?" Kai Wen wondered.

"I don't know." The deputy officer scratched his head.

After more than ten minutes, the female soldier who had come to deliver nutrient fluid to Jin Chen rushed into the control room, stumbling and tumbling in panic.

"Lieutenant General Kai Wen!"

"His Excellency Jin Chen and the Third Prince have eloped!!!"

"The resting room is empty; the surveillance shows they took a warship and left alone!"

Kai Wen: "……"

He silently looked at the moving red dot representing Ze Nuo Er on the screen and wiped his face.

The deputy officer angrily stood up, "No, it's definitely that His Excellency Jin Chen was abducted by the Third Prince!"

By the time the news reached the female soldier tasked with tracking the warship, it had become:

"His Excellency Jin Chen was snatched by the Third Prince, who has no male patron! We must defend the Major General's happiness at all costs—charge!"

Inside the warship.

Ai Sai Ya gritted his teeth: "You abducted me just to pilot a warship?"

What's the difference between this and suicide!

Jin Chen declared righteously: "Didn't your father say I must never touch a warship?"

Jin Chen pointed in a direction and said, "Come, let's go there."

In the original plot, the source of the virus antidote that had taken half of Ze Nuo Er's life was a treasure guarded by dozens of giant evil monsters.
