Chapter 1999: Days of Being Spoiled by My Wife in the Insect Tribe 32

Aisaia felt it was really damned.

He first felt that the claim that male insects are fragile and need protection was utter nonsense.

Although there were many crises when they first arrived, Lord Jin Chen insisted on going to the forest core, still searching for something along the way, but at least they could keep pace.

By the third day, Aisaia was exhausted from flying with his wings, yet this lord showed no fatigue at all, and even gathered a lot of scarce materials along the way.

If he weren't afraid to retort, Aisaia would suspect that Lord Jin Chen came here to make a fortune.

In places Aisaia couldn't see, Ling Gun Gun, having turned into a ball and nibbled along the way, ate until he was full.

【Host goes left, after walking 700 meters turn~】Nom nom, 【If you ask me, there are still lots of good things in the forest, really delicious!】

Jin Chen had stopped reminding Ling Gun Gun to maintain his figure, out of sight out of mind, he tossed the ball back into his space and sped up again.

Aisaia: "……"

Aisaia wanted to return home, but he didn't dare.

On the afternoon of the second day, Jin Chen found the traces of the Corpse Abyss Rift Beast.

In the original plot, when Ze Nuo Er killed the dark cave monster, he discovered the blood trail of the Corpse Abyss Rift Beast, and followed this clue all the way to trace the source of the monster swarm, spending half his life to help his former subordinates and comrades take revenge, and at the same time obtained the treasure guarded by the monster swarm—a specific cure that can eradicate the virus spread.

Jin Chen glanced at his wrist-mounted optical brain; the distance to Ze Nuo Er's team was still far, so he should make it in time.

As long as he gets past this plot in advance, kills the Corpse Abyss Rift Beast swarm, Ze Nuo Er can then go rescue the trapped soldiers and ordinary insects with peace of mind.

"Lord Jin Chen, have you found what you're looking for?" Aisaia asked weakly.

"Found it."

Jin Chen glanced back at the burden sent by the Insect Emperor, pondered a moment, and asked: "Are you afraid of death?"

Aisaia:?

???

"I'm afraid!" Aisaia shouted.

Jin Chen patted his shoulder, saying, "I won't let you die; rest well tonight to regain strength, tomorrow come with me to do something your father promised me."

Aisaia: "……"

"No wonder you're so powerful, yet you insist I follow you in." Aisaia finally realized, "Could it be that only females can do that?"

"Not necessarily." Jin Chen lowered his eyes and said softly, "But we must ensure absolute safety."

Ze Nuo Er opened all the conditions for the treasure: time, stamina, mental power, and gender; he only lacked the last one.

"Like that..."

Aisaia lifted his eyes to look at this different male insect; the events of these days flashed before his eyes, and his face behind the protective mask secretly turned red.

"Then I'll help you with this; can you agree to one request?"

Jin Chen immediately stepped back half a step, very cautious: "Go ahead."

Aisaia knew that Jin Chen had said before that he would never take a female consort no matter what, and as an imperial prince himself, he also didn't want to be a female consort.

Thinking of Major General Ze Nuo Er…

"Hiss, competing with him for the male lord would be really hard."

"... Forget it, we'll talk about it when we return to the main star." Perhaps by then he wouldn't like this male insect anymore; Aisaia nodded in his heart.

The third day.

West Longitude 15° Phage Phase Zone.

The assault team led by Ze Nuo Er had closed the distance to the distress signal of the trapped troops to almost nothing; crossing the phage-covered area would get them there.

But this was also the most difficult part of the mission.

The combat data replicated by the phage spreads via spores; the monsters in this area can not only withstand high-frequency fire but also imitate tactical moves, let alone the omnipresent quantum ghosts that could take lives at any moment.

"Damn it." The soldiers just couldn't figure it out: "Never mind the frontline fighters, how did those tourists even get in here? Would they come to this desolate place to commit mass suicide?"

"Commander! An Bo is back!" the communications soldier at the rear of the unit immediately said.

Ze Nuo Er, who had been discussing solutions with the assault troops, stood up; seeing An Bo's clumsy running approach, it looked like he urgently wanted to say something.

"Ze Nuo Er!"

An Bo rushed over, grabbed Ze Nuo Er's hand, and after stammering for a while said, "Let me tell you some bad news… can you stay calm?"

Ze Nuo Er: "……Did you lose the sample?"

"Impossible! Am I that careless a bug?" An Bo waved his hand, exchanged a glance with the few female soldiers behind him, then spoke up after stepping back.

"When we returned to the main control spaceship, we found Lord Jin Chen wasn't inside… they said, Lord Jin Chen and the Third Prince had eloped…"

Ze Nuo Er froze, "What?"

Female soldiers:!!!!

Unbelievable!

The atmosphere became very strange for a moment.

An Bo saw Ze Nuo Er's expression was off, and immediately added, "Don't worry, Kai Wen has already sent a team to chase after him! He'll definitely be able to retrieve Lord Jin Chen for you… woof!"

An Bo got hit with a chestnut blast.

Ze Nuo Er kept his composure, glanced at the soldiers gathered to gossip, and said, "Continue exploring how to cross the phage area; don't spread rumors."

"Yes!"

But after taking a few quick steps and turning his back to the team, Ze Nuo Er's expression darkened to an extreme degree.

It wasn't that he believed his male lord would elope with Aisaia; he was filled with regret.

If he had known earlier how strongly Jin Chen wanted to enter, he shouldn't have refused that day, needlessly giving Aisaia and his male lord a chance to be alone.

A few moments later, Ze Nuo Er opened his military wristband to check the tracker placed on Jin Chen, only to find it still on the spaceship; his heart jolted again and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Male lord…"

"Achoo!"

Jin Chen sneezed, lifted the monster that could spray deadly toxic juice like he was holding a brat, threw it into the water, took off his black glove, and rubbed the tip of his nose.

【Host, have you caught a cold?】 Ling Gun Gun asked alertly, always ready to sell medicine.

【No.】

Jin Chen took the opportunity to wash his hands, didn't take the handkerchief Aisaiya offered, dried himself off, and put his protective glove back on.

【How much farther?】

【Let me see…… we're almost there, this place is super incredibly dangerous!】

One can feel it even without a reminder.

All the trees' growth rings began to reverse, and the bark secreted a fluid similar to the insects' DNA information.

The wristband that detects radiation and energy showed data presenting a unique resonance peak of ghost fear values, no different from a haunting.

The scattered wreckage of the spaceship suddenly regained its complete form, a few distress gestures flashed inside the portholes, and then it split apart in an instant.

When a monster's habitation can cause the environment to undergo abnormal changes, it must be the most troublesome existence.

"Jin Chen, Your Excellency, thank you." Aisaiya, who had almost been sprayed all over with toxic juice, felt lingering fear; he only felt his own heart beating faster and faster, truly uncontrollable.

Jin Chen turned back to look at him and asked, "Have you recovered?"

Aisaiya didn't want to be looked down upon, and nodded hesitantly.

"Then let's continue, don't waste time."

Aisaiya: "……"

The heart stopped beating.

Why on earth did the father emperor choose him for training?
