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

Fei turned to the metal cage in the center and whispered, "Like this?"

Shuya reached out and touched the surface of the metal cage; it was icy cold to the touch. He withdrew his hand and said, "Take it back to the military headquarters first; the marshal will decide what to do with the rest."

Furthermore, their military prison also holds the last female soldier who returned from the western battlefield. When their testimonies are compared, those who need to know will know.

only--

The strange beast warily eyed the surrounding insects, its red light intensifying.

Jiang Xuxi also looked at it, thought for a moment, and then looked towards the door.

He remembered that Wenxi and Fei had previously discussed the immense destructive power of the alien beasts; otherwise, none of the insectoids on the battlefield would have survived.

The last remaining insect escaped death only because of good fortune.

So, how did Jiang Bian capture this strange beast?

Without thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked straight out of the room.

He stood at the door and glanced at Jiang Bian's position, where the other man was already leisurely drinking tea.

Jiang Xu walked straight to the chair opposite him and sat down. He picked up a clean cup from the table, then took the teapot from the other person's side and poured himself a cup as well.

He picked up the teacup and smelled it. The tea was fragrant and the steam filled his nostrils, warming his lungs and adding a touch of warmth to the cold south.

"How did you catch that strange beast?" Jiang Xu took a sip of tea and asked, looking directly at Jiang Bian.

Jiang Bian smiled faintly: "I knew why you came."

Although Jiang Xu spoke in a questioning tone, his behavior was as casual as if he were at home.

This little bug is really not polite.

Jiang Xu ignored the other person's teasing and just held the cup while looking at him.

"Alright." Jiang Bian glanced at him. "It was just a coincidence; we encountered one that was all alone. It injured quite a few of our insects back then."

"Why don't you offer it to the Southern Royal Family?" Jiang Xu looked at him with a hint of doubt.

Whether considering distance or country of origin, insects generally prioritize their own location.

However, as soon as he asked the question, Jiang Bian across from him gave him a look.

"..." Jiang Xu understood the message in his eyes. He remained silent for a moment before asking the insect opposite him, "Did neither of my great-grandfathers know about my grandfather's death?"

Although he only had a short day to meet his two great-grandfathers, he could tell from their conversation that they were unaware of what had happened to Jiang Mian in recent decades.

Jiang Bian did not answer the question immediately. He put down his cup, looked into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

"Ever since your female grandfather gave birth to your male father, he has not sent any more messages back from the insects."

His tone was calm and lingering, as if pulling his thoughts back to those years.

No wonder, Jiang Xu thought back to the warnings his two great-grandfathers had given Jiang Bian when they first met.

However, although the two great-grandfathers no longer paid attention, the insect opposite him kept a close eye on the Jiang family.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of sympathy for the male insect opposite him.

"Are you coming with us to the east again this time?" Jiang Xu asked.

"No, thank you." Jiang Bian stood up from the table. "You can take the goods and leave."

He walked straight out the door without turning his head and said, "They'll help you load the cargo onto the aircraft, so I won't see you off."

The female insect named Pello in the house quickly followed.

Jiang Xu watched as the two insects' backs gradually disappeared from his sight.

Their return to the eastern Zerg went smoothly, and by the time they landed safely inside the military camp, they were surrounded by many female soldiers.

Some may have acted out of curiosity, but most were filled with resentment.

Until the metal cage containing the strange beast was placed in the center of the arena.

Jiang Xu glanced at the female soldiers around him, who were filled with hatred, his gaze sweeping over them one by one before finally settling on General Lan.

The other person met his gaze, bowed to him, and quickly walked towards the center.

Not only that, but he was also accompanied by two unfamiliar female soldiers. Jiang Xu glanced at the epaulets on their uniforms and knew that they were generals of the same rank as Lan.

"Lord Jiang Xu." The other two female soldiers bowed to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu nodded slightly and returned their bow with a slight gesture.

"The Jiang family cooperated with the military to bring the alien beast back safely. Now, on behalf of the Jiang family, I officially hand it over to the military," Jiang Xu said to the insects present.

"Thank you for the Jiang family's support." Lan Chaojiang bowed again. "Leave the rest to our military. You've worked hard these past few days."

"Hmm." Jiang Xu responded, exchanging a glance with Jiang Ping behind him. Following the Jiang family's receiving procedures, Jiang Ping quickly handed over a document.

"Please sign this, esteemed generals." Jiang Ping walked up to the generals, handed them the delivery confirmation form, and pointed to the area where signatures were required.

Seeing the insects looking at him with confusion, Jiang Ping explained, "This is the Jiang family's transfer record. No matter what it is, as long as it is transferred from our hands, there will be such a certificate."

Please sign your name.

This was evidence left by the Jiang family to avoid future disputes with the other party, and over time, it became a tacit rule.

Lan nodded, took the document from his hand, and quickly signed her name.

The remaining two generals hesitated for a moment, then quickly signed their names.

They carefully reviewed the contents of the document and confirmed that it was indeed a simple receipt confirmation document.

After signing the document, the three insects handed it back to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping turned to look at Shu Ya, who was standing to the side. When she met his gaze, she was clearly taken aback.

"Do I need to sign too?"

Perhaps because she had spent so much time with Jiang Xu and the others, Shu Ya unconsciously began to think of herself as one of them.

Jiang Ping smiled and handed the documents in his hand to Shu Ya: "Thank you for your help, General Shu Ya... and Major General Fei as well."

He tilted his head to look at Fei behind Shuya, and met the other's stunned gaze.

"......." Shuya didn't expect that even the female insect behind her was included.

In this way, he really had no reason not to sign.

After he finished signing, he casually handed it to Fei, who reached out to take it.

The other party had already returned to normal, quickly signed his name, and handed the document and pen back to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping took the document, scanned the signatures one by one, and put it away after confirming that everything was correct.

"Then we'll take our leave now. Please make yourselves at home."

He walked behind Jiang Xu and whispered beside him, "Let's go back to the Jiang family first."

Jiang Xu tilted his head slightly, glanced at Jiang Ping beside him out of the corner of his eye, nodded slightly, then looked at Fei not far away and gestured with his chin: "Come here."

Fei glanced at the few female soldiers present, unconsciously pursed his lips, and walked over.

"My lord," he called softly, "what are your orders?"

Jiang Xu tapped his forehead helplessly: "If I go back to the Jiang family, are you coming with me, or staying at the military headquarters?"

His warm, deep voice reached the ears of several insects nearby.

They could clearly sense the helplessness and doting in Jiang Xu's voice when he said those words.

Fei glanced at the strange beast in the metal cage, hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly replied, "My lord, I want to go see Wenxi."
