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

As expected, Jiang Xu walked into the central hall and looked around at the empty stands before his gaze settled.

The spacious hall made his footsteps particularly noticeable, and the two insects sitting in the booths looked at him when they heard the sound.

"You're here?" Zoe called out in his direction.

"Um."

Jiang Xu hadn't noticed it when he came before, but now he found the place eerily quiet, with each sentence echoing back to him.

"Come on, come on." Bernd waved to him from the side, "We've been waiting for you."

After getting a clear look at the insect, he added, "Huh, is this the first time the insect larva has developed?"

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

"Mm." Jiang Xu sat down next to Zoe with the baby insect in his arms, took the juice from the table, and poured a glass for the baby insect.

After patting the well-behaved bug cub, he looked up at Zoe and Bernd.

"What do you want?"

"Tsk, isn't there a war going on?" Bernd looked at him speechlessly, his expression quite varied: "The entire insect planet is in chaos right now, and everything is closed."

The job I finally got used to, I lost it all.

Jiang Xu looked at him strangely, then gave Zoe a look: "Is he... this passionate about his work now?"

Zoe's eyebrows curved slightly, and a smile played on her lips: "Who says otherwise? Ever since I got involved in their business, they haven't bothered me at all."

"Speaking of which, since Jiang Xu got married over the New Year, we've had fewer and fewer opportunities to get together. Let's cherish this rare chance." Bernd glanced at the two insects.

"Once the war is over, you won't have many chances to see me again."

"What? You're going to run away after the war?" Jiang Xu said jokingly, looking at his arrogant expression.

"Pah." Bernd rolled his eyes. "Can't you speak properly? I'm a busybody, too busy with work to pay attention to you two."

"Heh." Jiang Xu chuckled softly twice. "So you've found the joy in working?"

"That's right," Bernd said. "You don't know the satisfaction of making money."

He's just as good at business as those two insects, isn't he?

"Okay." Jiang Xu turned to Zoe: "Your business has also come to a standstill?"

"Hmm." Zoe picked up the tea in front of her with two fingers and slowly took a sip. "Who's in the mood to do business these days?"

The third district is now facing alien beasts, which is different from internal conflicts.

The consequences of the last incident are still fresh in the minds of every Zergling; they have not forgotten them.

Here we go again.

"The West is really bold; they're not worried at all about the consequences if they can't control those monsters," Zoe said, glancing at the other two insects whose expressions were equally grim.

He continued, "Aren't we afraid that this insect planet will be destroyed just like that?"

"Who says otherwise?" Bernd was unusually serious, "If I had really thought about the consequences, I wouldn't be researching something like alien beasts."

Come to think of it, it's truly unbelievable that the most conservative district out of the four is doing the boldest thing.

No one expected that the concept of a unified Zerg planet would originate from the most backward and strictly managed western Zerg region.

"Sigh—" He sighed deeply, feeling melancholy. He then noticed Jiang Xu and Zoe looking at him strangely. He awkwardly touched his face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Xu patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion, "It's like the gratifying feeling of watching your own child grow up."

"........." Bernd stared at Jiang Xu in astonishment, quickly realizing that the other party was taking advantage of him, and was about to speak when the insect cub beside him spoke up.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi stared blankly at his father, then at Bernd, his face scrunched up as if pondering Jiang Xu's words.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then called out to the bewildered adult male, "Brother."

"Pfft—" Zoe couldn't help but laugh out loud. He patted the bug's head and praised it, "So smart."

"........." Bernd looked at Jiang Yi with a slightly stiff expression: "What did you call me?"

Perhaps encouraged, the little bug called out to him crisply without hesitation, "Brother."

"........." Bernd's face turned bright red, but he didn't want to argue with the little bug, so he could only glare fiercely at Jiang Xu and say sternly, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"There's nothing I can do even if you're fierce." Jiang Xu shrugged helplessly. "The little bug has his own understanding."

Seeing Jiang Xu's hands-off attitude, Bernd couldn't help but pinch the little bug's cheek and gently corrected him, "Call me Uncle Bernd."

"elder brother."

"uncle!"

"elder brother--"

"........." Bernd looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Why do you call me brother?"

The little insect tilted its head, puzzled, and innocently replied, "Father said you are his own child."

The father's own child, isn't he just the older brother?

But when did the female and male fathers give birth to such a big older brother for him? Why didn't they tell him before?

He looked at his male father with a face full of questions and asked, "Father, how come my brother has grown so fast? Didn't you and Mother just get married last year?"

This concept was completely beyond his comprehension.

"........." Jiang Xu glanced at the insect cub in silence, never expecting that this matter would fall on his head.

Seeing Jiang Xu's discomfiture, Bernd was pleased. He smiled and pinched the little bug's face, happy that he could actually make Jiang Xu suffer a defeat on equal terms.

"By the way, your bugs went to the front lines too, right?" He withdrew his hand and said to Jiang Xu.

"Mm," Jiang Xu replied.

"Sigh—" Bernd sighed deeply, "My queen went too, I wonder what the situation is like on the battlefield now."

Jiang Xu's eyes held a hint of meaning as he looked at Bernd in silence for a few seconds before asking, "When did General Lan go to the front lines?"

"About five days ago," Bernd said, scratching his head as he recalled. "Your Major General Fei should have gone around the same time, right?"

Didn't he tell you about Lan?

Jiang Xu remained silent.

Not only did they not mention General Lan's affairs, they didn't even tell him about his own affairs.

Seeing his silent expression, Zoe guessed the reason: "Didn't your partner tell you?"

"........." Jiang Xu fell silent for a moment, then picked up the now-cold teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp: "Yes."

"Yo yo yo~" Bernd suddenly realized he had something to brag about: "Our Lan told me this as soon as she left."

"Hey, this female insect, you have to admit, is actually quite cute."

"........." Jiang Xu remained silent, then quickly picked up the teacup in front of Bernd and poured it directly into his mouth: "Shut up."

Bernd didn't have time to swallow before he started coughing violently.

He coughed for a while before stopping, and looked at Jiang Xu with teary eyes: "All the other insects are after money, but you're the one who kills?"
