Chapter 2004: Day 37 of Being Spoiled by My Wife in the Insect Clan

The nobles got the news quickly, or perhaps they had been prepared; in any case, the moment Ze Nuoer could bear it no longer and pressed his gun against Wei Ka's head, he was tightly surrounded by the noble guard team.

Ze Nuoer! What are you doing!

Shouting was Ito Earl, who was hurrying over with the other nobles, and the male insects felt heartache beyond measure for Wei Ka.

Do you know what status Wei Ka has now? Who gave you permission to arrest him privately?! Ito Earl demanded.

His attitude was so aggressive that the other nobles who wanted to confront him didn't even get a chance to speak; instead, they all fixed their gaze on Ze Nuoer, insisting on hearing an explanation.

The First Legion is getting more and more out of control. Some male insects secretly seethed, wishing they could rush over and rescue Wei Ka themselves.

Huobote is unconscious now, so Wei Ka might become one of their female attendants, or even their female ruler.

This is an honored guest of the Insect Emperor.

What a commotion. Ze Nuoer clicked his tongue, withdrew the gun pressed to Wei Ka's forehead, turned, and looked at Ito Earl.

Mother, when did you receive the news?

Ito Earl snapped: "Is that the point? Answer my question!"

Wei Ka's expression shifted in the iron cage, seeming especially shocked and wronged, as if he were truly innocent—after all, no insect knows what Ze Nuoer is going crazy about.

The First Legion would never arrest any insect without cause.

Ze Nuoer's attitude was no better; he stared at them, his tone icy and indisputable: "According to the investigation, the tourist spaceship trapped in the Luobote Star forest passed through Yuermii Star before losing signal."

And the one who received them then was none other than Wei Ka, son of the Supreme Executive of Yuermii Star.

Wei Ka furrowed his brow slightly, silently rubbing his collar; that uneasy anxiety surfaced—Ze Nuoer's investigation was perhaps too swift.

Ze Nuoer: "After that, Yuermii Star's jump point was deliberately sabotaged, viruses ran rampant on the fringe planets, the spaceship happened to crash in a forest not far from the beast egg, and the final distress signal was precisely captured by the military."

Ze Nuoer fixed his gaze on Wei Ka, exuding a chilling aura as they faced off: "Now the main planet relies solely on you to unlock the beast egg's secret; do you really believe all this is mere coincidence?"

Wei Ka involuntarily shuddered, holding his breath for several seconds before relaxing somewhat: "I don't know what you're talking about, Ze Nuoer, Major General; why must you pin a crime I didn't commit on me?"

But there's one thing you got right.

Wei Ka leaned against the iron cage; when his psychic power surged, his presence was in no way inferior to Ze Nuoer's. He tapped the cage to signal, then curled his lips and said: "Only I can use the beast egg that can cure the virus."

Now there's no need for Ze Nuoer to open the door; the noble guard team and royal soldiers have already closed in, merely needing to point their guns at him to make him open the door and release Wei Ka.

Ze Nuoer! Aren't you afraid we'll strip you of your Major General rank? the noble male insects shouted angrily.

No time for that.

Ze Nuoer thought: the male master is still inside negotiating with the Insect Emperor, and Wei Ka won't easily admit guilt.

Just as he was about to open the iron cage, he suddenly heard Wei Ka say: "Dealing with the virus is fine, but I have a request; I hope everyone here can fulfill it."

Wei Ka glanced at Ze Nuoer, then said word by word with a smile: "I want Jin Chen, Your Excellency, to be my male master."

Ze Nuoer: "……"

The nobles froze for a moment, instinctively looking at Ze Nuoer; even Ito Earl was stunned, his expression somewhat inexplicable.

The assault team's female troops exchanged glances, feeling that this female insect was done for.

Damn it, no time for that.

Ze Nuoer now only wants to tear Wei Ka apart limb from limb.

You're asking for death!

Ze Nuoer! Ito Earl grabbed his arm, saying, "This has nothing to do with you; all we need is Jin Chen, Your Excellency's agreement..."

Mother.

Ze Nuoer shook off his hand, his tone icy: "I won't agree, and the male master won't either; Yuermii Star has more than one female insect."

Spiritual power once again reinforced the iron cage; Ze Nuoer drew his gun and aimed it at the nobles, while the assault team instantly raised their weapons in unison, making the standoff unmistakable.

As Aisaiya came over as usual to pay his respects, seeing this scene he felt puzzled and hurried to the place where his Father Emperor often held council.

Third Prince, what's the rush? Dani almost bumped into him in the corridor and called out, questioning Aisaiya.

Dani!

Aisaiya seized his hand, not even asking how he was in the Imperial Palace, and urged: "You're Ze Nuoer, Major General's friend, right? Hurry and tell Jin Chen, Your Excellency—he's about to clash with the noble guard team at the palace gate!"

What? Ze Nuoer? Dani shoved the divorce petition into his pocket, his expression grave: "Just what is going on?"

Ah, there's no time to explain; in short—

Aisaiya paused, then summed it up briefly: "Wei Ka wants to take Jin Chen, Your Excellency as his male master."

Dani: "……"

No wonder Ze Nuoer flew into a rage.

Why don't you go? You know the Imperial Palace better than I do. Dani looked at him, puzzled.

Aisaiya wanted to cry but had no tears, pouting: "... I also want to seize him, but I don't dare, so I don't want to see Jin Chen, Your Excellency."

Dani: "……"

I just came to file for divorce; do I really have to hear such explosive news?

Dani heard it only half-understood, and when he reported to Jin Chen and the Insect Emperor in the council chamber, he couldn't explain it clearly either.

But just after they had brought Wei Ka back in chains, the nobles immediately presented this matter, and it still made the Insect Emperor's face turn cold.

It seems you're right; this Wei Ka isn't lacking in ambition. The Insect Emperor looked at Jin Chen, idly playing with his magnificent scepter, his attitude not that of a ruler to subjects but of old friends enjoying a pleasant chat.

Dani's heart jumped; he instinctively glanced at Jin Chen, seeing his nonchalant, blunt demeanor: "Yuermii Star honors female insects; perhaps Wei Ka's designs aren't on me but on your position."

Insect Emperor: "……" There's no need to be so blunt.

Jin Chen rose to his feet: "I'm not staying to talk; I'm going to see Ze Nuoer."

Let's see how my female ruler chooses.

Jin Chen thought: if it's still the same as before, he'll surely be so angry he'll bind Ze Nuoer with spiritual threads at home and never let him out.

Dani, you go check too—don't let Ze Nuoer's kid get into trouble. The Insect Emperor said meaningfully: "I recall that child will be eligible to apply for promotion to Lieutenant General in half a month."

Dani froze for a moment, then understood and saluted: "Yes."

It is actually rare that His Majesty does not stand on the nobles' side; truly unbelievable.
