Achilles glanced at the four insects that had walked to the corner, then looked away and replied to Jiang Baiyang, "Then let's listen to Brother Yang and play by ourselves."

He really couldn't understand what kind of airs Jiang Xu was putting on, not following any rules at all.

"Let's begin, let's get started quickly."

"Alright, the usual rules." He put on his usual smile again and looked at the male insects around him, asking, "Voluntary challenges, or will it be decided by drawing lots?"

"I'll go first," Jiang Baiyou said, raising his hand slightly as he volunteered.

"Young Master You's prowess is still as strong as it was back then!" Someone in the swarm shouted, which immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Jiang Baiyou raised his hand to his lips and glanced sideways at the male insect that had spoken: "Speak properly, or people will think I'm about to do something outrageous."

The insects around him laughed even louder after hearing his words.

"Alright, now the champion is Young Master You. Who wants to be a challenger?" Achilles looked around at the male insects present, waiting for an insect to step forward.

But after waiting for a long time, not a single insect responded.

"Tsk." He clicked his tongue lightly and pulled a small cylinder from his pocket. "What, are you all scared?"

He held the cylinder in his palm, shook it a few times, and asked again, "Really no insects will come? If not, we'll draw lots, and whoever gets drawn gets to play."

"I'll do it."

A voice came from behind him, and Achilles turned around, his face lighting up with delight: "Lord Evan, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of male insects immediately stepped back, making room in the middle.

The insect servant next to him was also very perceptive and quickly moved the wooden stump that Achilles had been standing on.

"Lord Evan, I really didn't expect you to be so proactive this time. What big move have you been planning?" Jiang Baiyou looked at him with a faint smile, but his eyes unconsciously lingered on the female insect behind him.

"So what if I am?" Evan glanced at him lazily. "I can't be the one who loses every time, can I?"

To win this time, he spent a long time choosing before finally selecting the female insect behind him.

Jiang Baiyou didn't say anything more and silently retreated into the swarm of insects, leaving only the female insect behind him standing in the center of the circle.

Evan also quickly withdrew.

As Jiang Xu watched the farce unfolding among the male insects in the center of the gathering hall, he couldn't help but think: No matter which insect region it is, these male insects are far too indulgent.

That idiot should really get his head turned over a new leaf.

Although Fei had never participated in this type of game, he had seen similar scenes.

Back when they were with Moni, those noble male insects, relying on their family background, also wantonly played with female insects in the same way.

His gaze grew increasingly somber, and his clenched fist trembled slightly.

Jiang Xu noticed his tense state, reached out and took his hand at his side, gently squeezing it in his palm: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fei turned to look at Jiang Xu and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Mm."

He simply couldn't understand why those female insects, who were protecting their homeland, were treated this way by these male insects.

Just because they are male, does that give them the right to do whatever they want?

Jiang Xu raised his other hand and gently covered his eyes: "It will be alright in the future."

They can't change anything now, but they have descendants, and their descendants will have descendants. As long as they keep trying to find ways to change things, one day they will see a different picture.

In the future, female insects may no longer need to rely on the emotional comfort of male insects; and male insects should also make some real contributions to this world.

Fei nuzzled Jiang Xu's neck and buried her face even deeper.

"These male insects deserve to die." Jiang Ping looked at the two female insects fighting in the center, his tone devoid of any warmth.

"What's wrong with you, sir..." Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had ever seen Jiang Ping with such a cold expression.

Jiang Ping withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the group of male insects amusing themselves in the center, and turned to Jiang Xu: "Insect brat, you should be glad you were born into the Jiang family."

"?" Jiang Xu looked at him with a puzzled expression, then seemed somewhat taken aback: "No, do you mean you want to beat me up?"

"No, I just had an itchy hand." Jiang Ping clenched his fist and rotated his wrist, looking ready to fight.

Jiang Xu knew he was just saying it; after all, if he really blatantly attacked the male insect, even the Jiang family wouldn't be able to protect him.

He suddenly noticed Shuya, who was quietly watching the center of the room, with no expression of joy or anger on her face.

His expression was indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to such scenes.

Jiang Xu suddenly felt a sense of relief, because Fei and Jiang Ping had both followed the Jiang family before witnessing the true darkness.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder what would have happened to them if they hadn't stayed with the Jiang family.

However, he was also grateful that the Jiang family was still among the Zerg.

The typos and grammatical errors in the original text have been corrected, while the original plot rhythm and character tone have been preserved, making the sentences smoother and more natural.

"Wow, Young Master You!" A cheer came from afar.

The sound drew the attention of all the surrounding insects, and then Jiang Xu heard two female insects whispering to each other not far away.

"The female insect from Young Master You's family won again."

"Yeah, I don't even know how many times we've won."

"However, that female insect is really pitiful. I always feel that she is a bit mentally unstable."

"Even the most powerful insect would be strange if it could still function normally after being treated like this for several years."

After saying this, the two female insects fell silent, followed by two sighs.

"A perfectly good female insect has been ruined like this." Jiang Ping sighed again.

Jiang Xu helplessly pulled the stiff insect in his arms closer to himself, and the hand that was originally blocking the other's eyes moved a little behind his head and then covered his ears.

He knew that doing so wouldn't actually make any difference, but... he still couldn't help doing it.

Fei felt that Jiang Xu was spoiling her rotten.

This kind of thing is common among the Zerg, and he was bound to encounter it sooner or later.

However, fate took a turn, leading him astray from the path he was meant to take.

Shuya withdrew her gaze from the distance and looked at Fei in Jiang Xu's arms. Her eyes lingered on Fei's back for a few seconds before she looked away.

"Hey, why aren't you angry?" Jiang Ping felt like he wanted to punch the bug, but Shu Ya next to him still had a calm expression.

"Why are you angry?" Shuya asked back.

"Why aren't you angry?" Jiang Ping was taken aback by his question, looking at him with a puzzled expression before realizing what he meant and pressing for an answer: "Don't you get angry seeing them toying with the female insects like that?"

"Isn't this the fate of female insects?" Shuya uttered these words calmly.

"Uh—" Jiang Ping's words were cut off. Yes, isn't this the fate of a female insect?

"No." Fei, who had been nestled in Jiang Xu's arms, suddenly straightened up and turned to look at the two insects.

"The life of a female insect should be to sacrifice herself for her country and die on the battlefield, not to waste it on these vulgar games played by male insects."

Shuya chuckled, looked at him, raised her chin towards the pile of insects in the center, and said, "If it weren't for Lord Jiang Xu, one of the female insects in that pile would very likely be you."
