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

"..."

Yan Mo said what he wanted to say and waited anxiously for Lan Ze's reply.

Lan Ze remained silent for a long while, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Was his request too much? After all, his staying here wouldn't benefit Lanze at all. Perhaps Lanze had his own plans; he didn't want a nominal male insect to impose too many restrictions on his life.

After all, the Zerg world is too harsh for female Zerg.

"I...I swear, I won't interfere in your life or your work, and I won't ask you to give me your assets..."

"Okay, I agree."

"I desperately need a place to stay... I promise..." Yan Mo wanted to continue making promises to Lan Ze to buy some time to catch up, but when he heard Lan Ze's words, he was stunned for a moment, and his dark pupils immediately lit up with uncontrollable joy.

"Really? You agreed to let me stay here?"

Lan Ze nodded.

"I agree, Your Excellency."

This was an unexpectedly good result for him, and Lanze naturally agreed.

As for the silence just now, it was only because he was too shocked. After all, Lanze came to see the male insect today with the thought that he would be severely whipped by the male insect and then locked in the punishment room of the Male Insect Protection Association.

He thought that he could only force the male insect to take over his guardianship by hurting himself, but he didn't expect that he would get the result he never dared to imagine without being hurt at all.

The male insect merely wants to stay here and maintain a guardianship relationship with him, but will not interfere in any of his affairs.

He will not be whipped, his dignity will not be violated, he will not be forbidden from working in the military, and his freedom will not be restricted.

"Then we'll be roommates from now on! To thank you for letting me stay here, I'll be responsible for cooking and cleaning!"

Lanze was no longer surprised.

This strange male insect seems oblivious to his own dignity. He actually wants to cook for him and clean the house. If the Male Insect Protection Association finds out, they will definitely drag Lanze to the punishment room and keep him there for a few days.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you!"

Anyway, the villa's cleaning is handled by the smart butler Xiaoyuan, so it won't tire out the male insects. As for cooking, judging from Yan Mo's expression, he seems to really enjoy cooking.

Moreover, Yan Mo's cooking is indeed delicious. Lan Ze is willing to guarantee that even the best female student in the cooking class could not cook as well as Lord Yan Mo.

Sainz walked into Lanzer's office and carefully examined the female insect sitting behind the desk, reviewing official documents.

His posture remained as upright as ever, his brows and eyes distant, exuding an aura of unapproachability.

Although her face looked very white, it was a healthy, translucent white, not the weak, pale look of someone who had been whipped.

"You went to see that male insect lord? Tsk tsk tsk, judging from your lively appearance, Lord Yanmo must be as gentle as the rumors say."

Lanze glanced up at Sainz, then continued looking at the documents in his hand.

Sainz walked over and sat down, took out a bottle of healing spray from his spatial storage, and tossed it around in his hand.

"Looks like I prepared this treatment spray for nothing. Oh well, I'm going to patrol Garbage Planet 1347 in a few days. Poor me, a lonely female insect without a male master, I'll keep this medicine on hand!"

Lanze ignored Sainz's teasing and frowned when he heard about Trash Planet 1347.

"Garbage Planet 1347? Why are we having another inspection?"

Sainz shrugged.

"Your future male lord was discovered there. This matter has a great impact. The StarNet is putting pressure on the Male Insect Protection Association. The upper echelons of the Alliance are also taking this matter very seriously. Some members of parliament have stated in the council that they will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Lan Ze raised an eyebrow: "What? Has yet another esteemed male insect gone missing?"

Sainz shook his head: "No, since that great purge, even if some underground research institute had this idea, they haven't dared to take action yet."

"With this incident involving Lord Yanmo, I'm afraid another round of purges will be carried out in secret."

Lan Ze remained noncommittal.

The insects in the Male Insect Protection Association have gone mad. The insect population census following the Great Purge has driven the insectoid leadership to a near-fanatical level of protection and preferential treatment for male insects.

The Zerg's preferential treatment of male Zerg is now almost at its peak, and no one knows when this perfect situation will lead to the next backlash. However, both the high-ranking male and female Zerg leaders are trying their best to avoid the backlash.

On the one hand, the decrease in the number of male insects has led to a crisis in the reproduction of the insect race, and on the other hand, the whipping and abuse of female insects has given rise to resentment buried in the shadows.

This seems to be an unsolvable problem.

"By the way, it's truly a blessing from the Insect God. The Interstellar Surveillance Department just sent news that a rift in the sky has recently appeared near the 1347 junk planet. This thing has no particular pattern. It's said that it was discovered that Lord Yanmo had some activity around the time it was discovered. Fortunately, it didn't devour the 1347 junk planet, otherwise, the Insect Race would have lost another esteemed Lord Yanmo."

Sainz sighed casually for a few moments, then complained, "The Male Insect Protection Association asked me to conduct a thorough investigation, as there might be some clandestine trading of unregistered male insects on Star 1347."

We don't know if that rift in the sky will reappear on garbage planet 1347. We need to thoroughly investigate that area while things are still relatively quiet.

Otherwise, if the junk planet 1347 had been swallowed by the rift in the sky, the StarNet would have been in an uproar.

Lanze paused, put down the documents in his hand, and looked at Sainz: "You're leading the team? Do you need my help?"

Sainz shook his head and refused: "No need. This rift in the sky only appears once every few hundred years. The Male Insect Protection Association is just worrying for nothing. Even if the next rift in the sky is still near the junk planet 1347, it will still be several hundred years away."

Lanze wasn't worried about the crack in the sky.

"How is your mental strength?"

"It's alright. You inspected the area last time and didn't find any underground research institute. Lord Yanmo must have been an accident. I'm just going through the motions this time, it won't take much mental effort."

Sainz raised an eyebrow at Lan Ze as he spoke: "There's nothing major going on at the military lately, so don't keep coming here. Use up your accumulated vacation time and spend more time with your future lord. Tell me, what did you think of Lord Yan Mo?"

Lanze ignored Sainz's gossipy gaze.

The thought of being able to enjoy delicious dishes made by male insects when I go home these next few days makes me smile involuntarily.

"Ahem!"

Sainz jokingly said, "Who said that all male insects are the same? Sainz, it seems that Lord Yanmo is different."

Lanze did not refute.

"He is indeed a strange male insect."

Sainz asked curiously, "Strange? How so?"

"I've ignored him for days, yet he can sit here calmly and talk to you. Isn't that strange enough?"

What's more, this male insect took the initiative to cook, and the food he made was even tastier than that of many female insects, which was even stranger and really didn't seem like a male insect.

Lan Ze thought that perhaps being born on a garbage planet had shaped Lord Yan Mo's gentle personality. He only hoped that he would not be changed by the environment of the Zerg and that he would be able to keep his promise, not whip him or interfere with his life and work, and let him be as free as before.
