Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

Jiang Xu woke up a little late this morning, which was unusual for him.

If it weren't for the soft lump rubbing against his neck, he might not have woken up so quickly.

He heard a soft snoring sound in his ear, and after a moment of wakefulness, he moved his body slightly.

I had just settled down when the little dumpling snuggled up to me again.

Jiang Xu helplessly picked up the little insect with his hand. The little insect moved uncomfortably again, and then continued to sleep while suspended in the air.

"......" Jiang Xu was amused by his appearance.

He glanced at the bed next to him, which had become empty at some point, and then at the red juice still lingering at the corner of the insect's mouth.

It seems that Fei fed the baby insects after getting up.

He recalled what Fei had said last night and realized that the two female insects in his house must have gone to the military headquarters.

Jiang Xu put the insect back on the bed.

The little bug rubbed against the pillow for a long time but couldn't smell the familiar scent. Finally, it found a pillow that smelled similar to its father's and fell asleep peacefully again.

Jiang Xu got up after seeing that he was asleep.

The house was quiet; there was indeed no other noise.

Looking down from upstairs, he suddenly realized that the house had changed a lot.

I hadn't noticed before, but now it seems the house is completely filled with his and Fei's things.

Some things had already changed subtly and gradually before he even noticed.

Hey~

The communicator on his wrist suddenly started vibrating frantically.

When Jiang Xu saw that it was Jiang Mian's call, he was stunned. It was rare for him to take the initiative to contact him.

"What's up?" Jiang Xu answered the phone, his voice hoarse and lazy, as if the person on the other end wasn't Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian glanced at Jiang Xu's clothes and his obviously just-woke-up appearance, somewhat surprised: "You... just got up?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xu leaned against the railing, his posture elegant and casual.

"Tsk." Jiang Mian stared intently at Jiang Xu's face, as if looking at some rare species: "You actually have times when you sleep in late."

"No way?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Sure, why not? But now is not the time for you to sleep. Get ready and come to the Jiang family. The Imperial Court has summoned us; we need to pay homage to the Insect Emperor."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xu frowned slightly. "What does he want with us?"

He remembered that since he came to the Zerg, he had had no connection with those royal families.

"You're asking me?" Jiang Mian looked at him with a complicated expression and replied, "Maybe it's because I died and came back to life, so I have to see him, right?"

After all, we still have to put on a show, right?

"Okay, I understand."

In no time at all, Jiang Xu appeared at the bedside, fully dressed.

The little bug lying on the pillow was sleeping so soundly that drool was already dripping from its mouth.

He stared silently at the pillow: This pillow needs to be replaced.

A small map has appeared above.

He picked Jiang Yi up and placed him in his palm, then reached out and used his thumb to wipe the drool from the corner of Jiang Yi's mouth, before glancing at his own hand with some suspicion.

He finally sighed, put the baby insect in his pocket, washed his hands, and went out.

It was almost noon when the aircraft carrying Jiang Xu and Jiang Mian finally came to a stop at the gate of the Zerg royal palace.

The royal family's scenery is indeed different.

Jiang Xu stood in the middle of a road and looked inside.

A huge European-style arched bridge appeared before him, with solemn female soldiers standing at both ends of the bridge, truly achieving a sentry post every ten steps.

The yellow and white European-style domed building occupies an unknown amount of land.

Jiang Xu's first thought upon seeing the palace was, "It's located in the heart of the capital. How much would it be worth if it were sold?"

It truly lives up to its name as a royal palace; it stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Let's go." Jiang Mian glanced at him and walked onto the bridge. "Were you shocked? I had the same expression when I first came here."

"..." Jiang Xu saw his hesitant expression and knew that they had the same idea.

As expected of insects from the same family, even their thoughts have been passed down so completely.

Jiang Xu walked calmly behind him, making it impossible for Chong to tell how much he was internally complaining.

"Halt!" Several soldiers at the bridgehead blocked the two men's path. "Your Excellencies, this is the Imperial Palace. You are not permitted to proceed."

Even the most stern soldier softened his tone considerably when speaking to two male insects.

"We are here to keep our appointment with the insects." After saying that, Jiang Mian took out an exquisite black invitation with gold foil stamping from his pocket. At the top of the intricate pattern was a golden, shiny mark.

It is indeed a royal mark.

The soldier glanced at them, then at the female soldier opposite him, and immediately made way for the two male insects: "Please."

Jiang Mian smiled and nodded slightly at him: "Thank you for your trouble."

Sure enough, his manners were impeccable, showing no flaws whatsoever; he was elegant and restrained, cautious and courteous.

The insects couldn't find a single fault with him, except for Jiang Xu behind him.

"..." He silently followed behind Jiang Mian, nodded elegantly to the female soldier, and then left.

After crossing the long bridge, a tall building came into view.

Jiang Xu hadn't really noticed the house from a distance, but now that he was closer, he realized it was much larger than he had imagined.

That gate alone was a full three zhang tall.

Is this a spaceship?

The guards at the gate saw Jiang Xu and Jiang Mian and gave them a standard royal military salute: "Greetings, Your Excellencies. Are you here to keep our appointment?"

Actually, he didn't need to ask that question at all, since every male insect that came today had received an invitation from the royal family.

However, the proper greetings should still be given.

"Hmm." Jiang Mian.

"Please follow me." The guard who spoke quickly came to the side of the two insects, bowed slightly, and gestured for them to follow.

"The palace is quite large. Please follow me, gentlemen."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble." As soon as Jiang Mian finished speaking, Jiang Xu looked at him with a sigh.

His behavior and actions in front of the bridge were completely replicated.

Jiang Mian glanced at him sideways and gave him a look: What are you looking at?

Jiang Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored his gaze, and focused on the environment in front of him.

The guards led them through a long corridor into the building.

It was a colorful glass dome, and the sunlight from outside shone through the glass, illuminating the interior.

Not only that, but it also retained some of the original color of the glass, making the interior architecture and decorations look magnificent and radiant.

The hall was filled with various decorative green plants with large, green leaves.

It has a pleasant, faint fragrance.

Jiang Xu clicked his tongue inwardly. This Insect King really knows how to enjoy life; he must have spent a lot of money.

He estimated the Jiang family's assets and wondered if they could afford to buy the palace.

However, I still think it's unlikely.

After all, he glanced at the twelve solid gold European-style columns that surrounded the hall.

Sure enough, he was still poor.

Otherwise, he would never have imagined that gold could be used as a pillar.
