Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

Yan Mo eventually went to see Lu Min with Lan Ze.

Pushing open the door to the private room, I found several female insects and several male insects sitting inside.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Ze, you're here?"

Lu Min greeted him warmly, her kind expression a stark contrast to when she had sent the female insect to the Lu family; it was as if she were a completely different insect.

Yan Mo almost couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard Lu Min address him.

He couldn't call Lu Min "Xiongfu" (a term of endearment for a male father).

Yan Mo said calmly, "Your Excellency Lu Min, please still call me Yan Mo."

Lu Min's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled again.

His eyes betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction.

He looked at Lan Ze and said in a deep voice, "What? You didn't even greet Xiong's father when you saw him?"

Lan Ze's face was as cold as ice. Yan Mo stepped forward to block Lan Ze, and was about to speak when Lan Ze pulled him back and shook his head. Then he looked at Lu Min and said, "Father Xiong, good day."

Lu Min was slightly satisfied. Looking at the male insect opposite her, she smiled and said, "My little female has picked up a tough temper from spending so much time in the military."

The male insect opposite him chuckled, seemingly disdainful: "Who says otherwise? My female son has become increasingly taciturn since joining the military. Even his marriage is something I, as his father, have to worry about."

As he spoke, he nudged the female insect beside him: "Hard, you should know Major General Lanze, right? Your Second Army, didn't you recently do some kind of... military exercise with the Fourth Army? I don't like watching all that fighting..."

The female insect mentioned, standing next to him, was none other than Major General Hader of the Second Army.

Had stepped forward toward Yan Mo, his honey-colored skin flushed red.

"Your Excellency Yan Mo, Major General Lan Ze, I am Ha De, a Major General in the Second Army. I have participated in numerous border battles and have been awarded three First-Class Merits and seven Second-Class Merits..."

Hader rattled off a long list of achievements, his assets, and his accomplishments at the Queen Training School.

He spoke of nervousness as if he had prepared his lines in advance, delivering them one by one without leaving any gaps.

Yan Mo became increasingly frightened as he listened, and dared not look at Lan Ze's dark expression.

Oh no, they're coming for me!

Yan Mo was angry and glared fiercely at Lu Min.

But Lu Min seemed oblivious, not even glancing in Yan Mo's direction, leaving Yan Mo feeling incredibly stifled.

"Hahaha, look at this silly child, why are you saying all this? Since you want to be Lord Yanmo's maid, you should propose to him..."

Hader's face turned even redder as he looked at Yan Mo with expectant eyes.

He then knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Lord Yanmo, are you willing to be my lord?"

Yan Mo: ...

He was devastated. He had only seen this Hader a few times in military exercise videos and had never actually met him. He was being proposed to on their first meeting. Yan Mo felt no surprise, only apprehension and speechlessness.

He didn't know that this situation was actually quite common among the Zerg. Male Zerg were rare, and most Zerg were initiated by females who would propose marriage. If they didn't act quickly, they might never find a male lord in their lifetime. Therefore, reserved female Zerg were actually quite rare.

Yan Mo was about to refuse Had almost immediately.

Lan Ze spoke first, his voice cold: "I disagree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hader's father's face darkened: "Major General Lanze, you hold a high rank in the Fourth Army, but when a male insect marries a female, what right do you have to speak?"

Lan Ze's voice grew even colder: "If you want to be Lord Yan Mo's female servant, you'll have to defeat me first..."

"You... Hader and you have the same military rank, and our Rhodes family is not much inferior to the Lan family. We are more than qualified to be Lord Yanmo's female attendants. Why do you disagree?"

Lan Ze offered no explanation: "There's no reason why. Just like I said, beat me."

Hader stood up angrily and shouted, "Let's go, let's go outside and compete..."

Yan Mo interrupted him, saying calmly, "Major General Hader, regardless of whether you can defeat Lan Ze today, I will not marry you as my concubine."

Hader was taken aback, and the tall man, over six feet tall, suddenly had slightly red eyes: "Why? Is it because of the military exercise?"

Yan Mo's tone turned cold when he heard him mention military exercises: "Since you've brought up military exercises, I'd like to say that winning and losing are normal, but what I hate most are those who will stop at nothing to win. The Second Army has close ties with the Marshal's Mansion. What? Didn't Lord Anlu of the Marshal's Mansion tell you that I have a deep-seated hatred for him? Aren't you afraid of slapping the Marshal's Mansion in the face by proposing to me?"

Hader choked up, "I..."

Yan Mo grew angrier as he spoke, recalling how he had been terrified when Lan Ze was taken away by the Male Insect Protection Association. He then glanced at Lu Min, who had been pimping for Lan Ze in front of him, and suppressed his heartache for Lan Ze, coldly saying, "No matter who it is, I will not agree to be my female servant. In this life, I will only marry Lan Ze!"

"absurd!"

The head of the Rhodes family looked grim.

"What male insect doesn't marry a female? Since you look down on the females of our Rhodes family, why bother with such a flimsy excuse?"

The head of the Rhodes family stood up and glared at Had, who was standing there in a daze.

"Let's go!"

Rhodes left with Harder.

As Hader passed Yan Mo, he paused slightly and said in a low voice, "Marshal Sith does indeed intend to win over the Second Army. I inquired about the battlefield deployment in the Herrington Mountains, and it was related to Lord Anluo, but I was unaware of it beforehand. I accept the Second Army's defeat to the Fourth Army. I am not an insect that will stop at nothing to win or lose. As for the public opinion on the StarNet regarding Major General Lanze, I swear to the Insect God that I did not participate in it in the slightest."

After speaking, Had glanced at Yan Mo with a disappointed look, and left dejectedly under Rhodes's urging gaze.

Yan Mo was left behind with a blank expression on his face, but inwardly feeling extremely embarrassed.

Yan Mo carefully observed Lan Ze's expression.

I screamed inwardly.

It was that Hader who insisted on talking to him! He didn't respond to a single word.

Seeing Rhodes and his son leave in anger, Lu Min couldn't save face and clutched his chest in frustration. The female servant next to him quickly tried to soothe him.

Lan Ze remained unmoved, while Yan Mo wore a mocking expression.

Lu Min angrily pointed at Lan Ze: "That Had is brainless. This kind of female insect marrying Yan Mo won't affect your status, so why don't you agree?"

Yan Mo was annoyed: "Stop lecturing Lan Ze! Why should I marry some 'bug'? Would you listen to my opinion?"

Lu Min held her breath and said, "You don't have a male or female father. Since you've married Lan Ze, as your father-in-law, I naturally have to help you choose. What kind of female insects do you like? I'll help you make contact."

Yan Mo was truly impressed.

Looking at Lu Min, he said sarcastically, "You're really something, acting as a pimp for your female offspring's male master. What, now that you can't use Lan Ze's marriage, you've set your sights on me? Let me say it again, I will not marry any female insect other than Lan Ze."

Lu Min felt that he had used up all his good temper in his life on Yan Mo. Hearing Yan Mo's sarcasm, he felt a surge of anger rush to his head. If it weren't for Yan Mo's status as an S-class male insect reminding him to calm down, Lu Min would have wanted to strangle Yan Mo.

Of course, a lazy, aristocratic male like him couldn't beat Yan Mo.

He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "What do you know? I married Lan Ze's female father and many female servants, but it didn't affect Lan Hechen's status. Although you are an S-class male insect, you have no background. If you want to gain a foothold on the capital star and pass on the Yan family, you will need more help."
