Many things had actually shown clues long ago, Chu Sui just hadn't discovered them. For example, Arno and Alvin's close private relationship. For example, in his past life, almost all Male Zerg were imprisoned, but Arno could easily see him under heavy guard. There were many other minor details, which, when added together, were enough to link into the truth—
Arno was one of the members of the Freedom Alliance, and very likely one of the three leaders.
Damn it...
Chu Sui was shocked by his own "great" discovery.
It really wasn't his fault for being slow. Arno's image was completely unrelated to something like rebellion. Alvin at least showed some rebelliousness, but Arno truly didn't show anything. He looked like the type who was strict with himself, bound by rules and regulations, without a single hint of a rebellious streak.
For example, who could imagine Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow?
Chu Sui sat silently for a long while, finally wiping his face without a sound. To be honest, it wasn't that he hadn't been suspicious before, but Arno's disguise was too good. Submissive, taking any scolding, he was practically a model Male Monarch. Who would have thought? Who would have thought?
When the host's emotions fluctuated too much, the System would also be affected. 009 had been dormant in Chu Sui's consciousness but was suddenly shaken awake. It popped out with a 'biu' sound, flew a circle around him, a small head with a big question mark: 【Ding, what's wrong with you?】
Chu Sui didn't speak. After a long moment, he said, "I'm so stupid, really."
The System nodded: 【Mm.】
'Indeed, quite stupid.'
Chu Sui was still moping, but when he heard its words, he instantly looked up: "What do you mean?"
The System flew a little farther away from him: 【You said it yourself, I'm just agreeing】
Chu Sui's little tyrant personality wouldn't allow such a thing to happen: "It's fine for me to call myself stupid, but not for you."
The System thought, 'It's not just hard to be a person these days, it's also hard to be a ball.' It landed quietly on the desk, its blue body emitting a faint glow, illuminating the legal clauses Chu Sui had half-revised, which were covered in red pen marks: 【So why are you unhappy?】
Chu Sui thought, 'It's not that I'm unhappy.' He glanced at the System, twirling the pen in his hand. A hazy, yellow lamp cast a warm hue on the side of his face, softening his frivolous air a bit: "When you told me to go out and work to change my future destiny, were you messing with me?"
The System played dumb: 【Of course not】
Chu Sui slammed his pen down: "You still say no!"
He had worked in the Military Department for so long, and seeing that the Female Zerg were about to rebel, his destiny hadn't changed one bit. He was still eighty percent likely to die. If he still hadn't realized the System was fooling him, he wouldn't just be stupid, he'd be an idiot.
The System thought, 'Destiny is a very mysterious thing.' It landed on the thick law book: 【Perhaps you can turn the tide with your own power.】
The System could only play a persuasive role sometimes. If Chu Sui just lived a life of debauchery like in his past life, even if he survived, it would be another form of death. He needed to understand some things, some principles. It wasn't enough for him to just know the Freedom Alliance would rebel; he also needed to understand why the Freedom Alliance would rebel.
Chu Sui had already witnessed the System's unreliability when he was learning to cook. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course I know I have to rely on myself. Relying on you is useless."
'Relying on mountains or water is fine. I was so stupid, why did I rely on a ball?'
Arno's status in the military was comparable to Alvin's. Alvin was one of the leaders of the Freedom Alliance, so Arno was probably not far off. Chu Sui's brow furrowed unconsciously as he paced back and forth before the desk. 'I'm screwed, I'm screwed. I think I hit Arno before. I wonder if he holds a grudge.'
'Probably not, right?'
Arno didn't seem like such a petty Zerg, but there was no guarantee he wasn't keeping a little black book in his heart.
Chu Sui was like an ant on a hot pan now. After pacing by the desk for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly remembered something and stopped, then looked at the System thoughtfully: "Say..."
The System cautiously typed out a question mark: 【?】
Chu Sui rubbed his chin: "If I treat him better from now on, will I not have to die?"
'That's way more reliable than some career path.'
【...】
The System had thought he had made some major discovery. It paused at his words, but then felt it wasn't a bad thing. Chu Sui could already learn to dress and cook for himself, and could also start learning to work by himself. The only thing lacking was probably that he hadn't yet learned how to be good to someone.
Whether it was his parents or Arno...
He was spoiled by his parents and always felt that others should be good to him. Before his values could form, he arrived in this world where values had also collapsed. How much better could he be? The him from his past life was hateful, but also pathetic.
The System flapped its wings and said softly: 【That's great】
Chu Sui snapped his fingers: "Then it's settled."
Just as Arno had said, the Imperial Capital was too turbulent recently. Many Female Zerg were complaining. For a Male Zerg like Chu Sui to go to work in a pile of Military Females every day, it was hard to guarantee an accident wouldn't happen. He thought about it and sent a leave request to his group leader, feigning illness to rest for a while.
It was almost dawn. Chu Sui closed the law book on the desk, deciding to deal with it tomorrow. He stretched and went to bed.
Just as he fell asleep, Planet Kasluo was engulfed in the flames of war. Soldiers lit bonfires around the pack of Alien Beasts, then drove them into pre-dug traps. For a moment, flames soared into the sky, and roars were incessant.
Alvin stood on high ground, looked through his binoculars for a long while, then retracted his gaze and said with a cold smile, "Those simple-minded bugs with well-developed limbs from the Research Institute should really return to the Zerg God's embrace sooner."
The Zerg Race was naturally warlike and had abandoned outdated thermal weapons five hundred years ago. The current combat weapons were driven by micro-light sources extracted from energy mines. Who would have thought that the weakness of the evolved Alien Beasts this time was simply fire.
Arno looked into the distance. The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, which once again made the long-suppressed killing intent in his blood boil. His voice was cold: "The T15 series light bomb they researched is still somewhat useful."
'At least it can pierce the scales of the Alien Beasts.'
Alvin sneered disdainfully: "Something so expensive that can't be used on a large scale is no different from trash in my eyes. For so many years, all they do is develop useless things. They haven't even figured out a drug to suppress the bloodline riot."
Arno keenly heard the undertones in his words. His long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Alvin tapped the Light Computer on his wrist, speaking sarcastically: "Literally what I said. Poor thing, so busy flirting with your dear Male Master, you don't even check the news?"
Hearing this, Arno lowered his eyes to his Light Computer and saw that the terminal had received a message. He tapped to accept it, and the screen immediately displayed a drug research report and a short video.
When a Female Zerg entered a bloodline riot state, they would lose their sanity and even reveal their Zerg form. In the video, there was an obvious semi-zergified Military Female. He was bound by a Power-Suppressing Ring and couldn't move, his face pained as he struggled ceaselessly. Just then, a Female Zerg in a white coat appeared in the frame, holding a syringe, and injected it into the Military Female's body.
When Arno saw this, he already had a premonition that something significant was about to happen. Sure enough, not long after the drug was injected, the Military Female suddenly quieted down. The Zerg wings behind him gradually folded, and the scarlet in his eyes faded. The instrument data beside him showed that his rampaging power had begun to calm down and was gradually returning to normal levels.
'It was actually suppressed...'
Arno's fingertips unconsciously dug deep into his palm. He barely maintained his composure, then carefully read the drug research report. Finally, as if to confirm something, he looked at Alvin: "What is this..."
His voice, if one listened closely, carried a hint of difficulty.
Hearing this, Alvin's chest heaved for a moment. He let out a long, turbid breath: "As you can see, Yuli has already developed a drug that can suppress the bloodline riot of Military Females."
A drug that can suppress the bloodline riot of Military Females. This string of words, who knows what it meant to them.
The devastated battlefield in the distance, buried beneath were not just fragments of shell casings, but also the decaying corpses of countless soldiers.
They slumbered here eternally, accompanied by the vast universe, and finally turned to dust with the passage of time.
Some of them didn't have to die. They just weren't willing to bend their proud bones to a Male Zerg just to eke out a living, so they preferred to make this their final resting place. When their bloodline rioted, they went to the front lines alone, choosing another path with no return.
They could have avoided death...
The lifespan of the Zerg Race is so long, they could have avoided death...
Arno once had many comrades-in-arms. Later, when he rose to the rank of Major General step by step, there were very few left who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
It wasn't that they couldn't keep up; they just remained forever in a certain place, choosing to protect their faith in another way...
Arno couldn't help but close his eyes. The wind, smelling of blood, brushed past his ear, messing up his short silver hair. As the corners of his clothes fluttered, it was as if a history book had been opened, silently commemorating those long-departed souls.
After a long time, Arno said: "Let's return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible. These Alien Beasts can be cleared out soon."
The situation in the Imperial Capital was far more severe than imagined. While the Female Zerg were indignantly demanding a revision of the law, the Male Zerg naturally couldn't remain indifferent. They had been high and mighty for too long and couldn't accept even the slightest offense from the Female Zerg, to the point of forgetting their true situation.
'Demand a revision of the law?'
'Are the Female Zergs worthy? They're simply delusional.'
An unknown group of Male Zergs, led by who knows who, flooded the official post with protest comments, their words full of insults and ridicule towards the Female Zergs. This made the already chaotic situation even more unmanageable, exploding like water in a pot of hot oil. It completely ignited the fury of the Female Zergs. Recently, some Male Zergs had even been attacked by unknown assailants when they went out, and the culprit had yet to be found.
Jia Wen was that unlucky one. When he went out on the street with his Female Attendant, he was inexplicably hit in the back of the head by a thrown piece of fruit, suffering a mild concussion. When he video-called Chu Sui, his forehead was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, looking comical: "Damn it, if they were going to throw something, they should have thrown it at a guy like Chelsea. I'm innocent!"
Chu Sui didn't know whether to call him stupid or stupid. Going out shopping at a time like this, wasn't that just making himself an obvious target? "So, what happened to the Female Zerg who attacked you?"
Hearing this made Jia Wen even angrier: "I've already reported it to the police, but the military said they haven't found them yet."
Chu Sui thought this answer was worth pondering. Jia Wen was attacked on the street where there were surveillance cameras everywhere. How could they not find the culprit? The military's attitude was really subtle. He said sarcastically through the screen: "I guess they won't find them in the future either."
At this juncture, if they arrested a Female Zerg, it would definitely cause public outrage. But if they didn't, they couldn't answer to the Male Zerg community. The best way was to handle it coldly.
Jia Wen obviously knew this too, but him knowing alone wasn't enough. Most Male Zerg were dissatisfied with their interests being taken away and kept provoking the Female Zerg, acting exactly like useless teammates: "Bro, if you have any inside information, remember to let me know."
Chu Sui was still revising that lengthy, damn law book. Hearing this, he just felt Jia Wen's brain had been smashed: "Inside information? What inside information could I have?"
He had already paused his work at the Military Department. He only knew a thing or two about the situation outside through Jia Wen's long-winded complaints. And this guy was asking him for inside information? Was he sure he hadn't asked the wrong person?
Jia Wen looked at him with a 'you're not a true friend' expression: "Come on, who doesn't know that the Third and Fourth Armies have finished clearing out the Alien Beasts and are preparing to return to the Imperial Capital? If your Male Monarch Arno is promoted to Admiral, he'll be a member of the Imperial Federation Council." The Zerg Race had a royal family, but they were just a symbol of honor with no real power. The ones who truly had decision-making power over national affairs were the councilors of the Imperial Federation Council. Only those with high status and power could get in.
Chu Sui had seen the news yesterday and only knew that the army had successfully cleared them out, but he didn't know they were coming back so soon. He paused for a second upon hearing this: "They're already preparing to return to the Imperial Capital?"
Jia Wen spread his hands: "Planet Kasluo isn't far from here. Maybe your Male Monarch will be back in a moment..."
Before he could finish, the sound of the password lock unlocking suddenly came from the door. The sound was crisp, and the housekeeping robot, as if reacting to something, zipped over and opened the door, its voice full of joy: "Welcome home~"
Chu Sui's heart skipped a beat for some reason. He subconsciously looked towards the door, and the call was unintentionally disconnected. The door opened with a click, and standing outside was a tall, silver-haired Female Zerg in a crisp military uniform. It was Arno.
Chu Sui's brain hadn't reacted yet, but his body had already moved. He shot up from the sofa. He stared at Arno's familiar face, unable to speak for a long time.
'My mind is a complete blank, this is fucking killing me.'
It took time to organize the troops. They were originally supposed to return tomorrow afternoon. Arno handed things over to his adjutant and arrived in the Imperial Capital ahead of schedule. His heart had been restless the whole way, and only after seeing Chu Sui standing in front of him, safe and sound, did it finally settle.
"Male Master..."
Arno walked forward, looked at Chu Sui, and spoke in a low voice. His eyes seemed deeper than before, but were as clear as ever. He carried the lingering scent of blood, a clear sign that clearing out the Alien Beasts had affected his rioting bloodline to a certain extent.
Before Arno returned, Chu Sui had thought of no less than ten opening lines. But when they actually met, he couldn't say a single word. The Freedom Alliance, how to revise the laws—all of it was forgotten, thrown to the back of his mind. A strange emotion suddenly grew in his heart, filling his chest and lungs, full and bursting.
The first to take the initiative was actually Arno. He quietly looked at Chu Sui, then suddenly took a step forward and hugged him, burying his face in the Male Zerg's neck, feeling the familiar scent. He then rubbed against him silently and whispered in Chu Sui's ear: "Male Master, I'm back..."
They had never been separated for so long...
Hearing this, Chu Sui's movements paused. He then lowered his eyes and pinched Arno's chin, forcing him to look at himself, and said in an emotionless tone: "So you knew to come back?"
'Fuck, if you were a few days later, believe it or not, I'd have really married a few Female Attendants.'
Arno subconsciously looked at him. His blue eyes reflected the living room lights, giving them a moist sheen. He was about to speak when a strong force suddenly came from the back of his head, followed by a warmth on his lips, his teeth easily pried open.
Seeing this, Arno narrowed his eyes but didn't struggle. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Chu Sui's neck and kissed back forcefully, with a fierce strength as if to devour the other. Their lips and teeth even knocked together, drawing a taste of blood.
While kissing him passionately, Chu Sui held him and stumbled upstairs, their scattered clothes littering the floor below. A Female Zerg's body was too sensitive and could not be easily provoked. In just a few breaths, Arno's breathing had already become heavy. When he was pressed against the bedroom wall by Chu Sui, the rioting power in his bloodline was already on the verge of being uncontrollable.
Arno took the initiative to hook his arms around Chu Sui's waist. His silver hair was scattered messily, his features cold and beautiful. His long, strong fingers slowly ran through Chu Sui's hair, the contrast of black and white creating a silent, enchanting picture: "Male Master..."
Arno panted softly in Chu Sui's ear, his voice low and bewitching: "I need your Pheromones..."
Chu Sui deliberately teased him: "Need Pheromones?"
Arno's eyes were hazy. He tilted his head back weakly, the corners of his long, narrow eyes unexpectedly looking alluring. He smiled and deliberately emphasized a certain word: "I only need your Pheromones."
Chu Sui was also having a hard time holding back, but he didn't let Arno see it. He bit the other's earlobe lightly, teasing him for a bit before raising an eyebrow: "But I'm in a bad mood, what do you suggest we do?"
The string called 'reason' in Arno's mind was about to snap. He took Chu Sui's hand and placed it on his own cheek. His eyelashes were lowered, wet with tears brought on by the stimulation: "I am yours. You can do whatever you want..."
He was his Male Master.
And he was his Male Monarch.
In this overly distorted world, they were each other's only bond.
Hearing this, Chu Sui paused. 'Of course, you're mine,' he thought. His fingertips caressed Arno's smooth cheek, his gaze deepening for a moment. He finally stopped tormenting him, turned, and pulled him down onto the bed.
On Earth, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. There was probably some truth to that saying. At least for someone as carefree as Chu Sui, he could faintly feel that after not seeing each other for a long time, something seemed to be gradually breaking through the soil in his heart.
It was still noon when Arno returned, but now the sky was already dark.
After his heightened emotions were relieved, Chu Sui's mind finally calmed down. He sat up from the bed, thinking he had forgotten something. As he was pondering, a body suddenly pressed against his back.
Arno sometimes liked to act spoiled like a cat. Even if he had nothing to say, he would inexplicably and silently press against him. His usually cold eyes would be lazily narrowed, the corners of his brows carrying a hint of satisfaction, and then he would rest his chin on Chu Sui's shoulder, lightly brushing against him with his hair from time to time.
Chu Sui finally remembered. He seemed to have forgotten about the Freedom Alliance. He nonchalantly glanced at Arno behind him, his eyelid twitching.
'How is this a cat? This is clearly a wolf, and a wolf in sheep's clothing at that.'
Chu Sui got up from the bed, casually threw on a piece of clothing, and inadvertently looked back. Seeing Arno looking at him, he paused for a second, then reached out and pulled him into his arms, scooping him up horizontally.
Arno's body lost its balance, and his fingertips subconsciously tightened. He didn't understand what he was doing: "Male Master?"
Chu Sui looked down at him. A strand of black hair fell down. When he was half-smiling, he looked somewhat devilish, his rakish charm not the least bit diminished. He just said two concise words: "Bath time."
'Arno had served him in the bath so many times, it was no loss for him to serve once.'
