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

Upon hearing the name Wenxi, Jiang Xu quickly pictured the female insect crying, and his grip on her hand tightened unconsciously.

"Is he very important to you?"

"Hmm." Fei was gradually affected by her surroundings, and her mental defenses unconsciously relaxed: "He's a friend I grew up with."

If Jiang Xu hadn't appeared, he might have left the capital with Wen west after retiring from the military.

Fei pursed her lips, her gaze unconsciously drifting back to Jiang Xu.

"Brother, brother, do you want to buy an insect egg pendant?"

As the two insects were walking, a small insect, about seven or eight years old, suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. It held a wooden stick with a bunch of colorful insect eggs strung on it.

"This will help you both conceive soon!" the little insect said earnestly. "Would you two brothers like one?"

Jiang Xu glanced at him and found that the little bug was quite clever.

After all, many people thought he was a female insect.

"Are you so sure we're a couple? Can't we just be friends?" Jiang Xu asked.

The little female insect tilted her head slightly, looking thoughtful, and said, "But, the two brothers were holding hands, weren't they? And..."

The little female insect pointed at Fei: "This brother has insect patterns behind his ears, but you don't. So the two brothers must be a pair."

Jiang Xu chuckled and gently patted the little female insect's head twice: "So clever."

They'll even search for target customers amidst the vast swarm of insects: "How many insect egg pendants can you sell each day?"

At this point, the little female insect hesitated, scratching her head: "One or two."

Without even thinking, Jiang Xu could guess the reason: the probability of encountering a male and female Zerg going out together in the Zerg world is already very low.

Add to that the Zerg's strict hierarchical system, and there are even fewer.

Jiang Xu thought for a moment: "I want one."

"Okay." A smile instantly appeared on the little bug's face, even with a hint of nervousness: "Which one do you want?"

The patterned eggs are female eggs, and the unpatterned eggs are male eggs.

He pointed to the insect eggs and introduced them to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu examined them; the male eggs were plain white, without any markings, while the female eggs had various intricate patterns.

"I want this one."

"This?" The little bug looked at the pendant Jiang Xu was pointing to and carefully climbed off the wooden stick. "Here you go."

Jiang Xu took the pendant, pinched the small insect egg on it, and the dark silver pattern on it easily reminded him of Fei's wings.

The little bug happily took the money and left.

He glanced at the little insect that had run away, hooked the silver ring at the top of the pendant with his hand, and held it out to Fei. Then he poked the insect egg with his finger: "Is it pretty?"

"Hmm." Fei nodded almost imperceptibly as he looked at the insect egg. "It's beautiful."

"As long as it looks good," Jiang Xu placed the pendant in Fei's hand and then walked in the direction the little insect had left.

Fei watched Jiang Xu walk forward and quickly followed.

However, she clenched the pendant in her hand a little tighter, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

He was a little unhappy because the warmth that had been encasing him was gone due to the insect egg.

Fei looked at Jiang Xu's back in front of him, his eyes glancing at the hand hanging by his side.

He pursed his lips, quickened his pace, walked to Jiang Xu's side, and placed his hand in the other's palm.

Jiang Xu turned to look at him, naturally took his hand, and whispered, "Come on, I'll take you to see something fun."

Sure enough, less than a hundred meters away, Jiang Xu saw the baby insects that had sold them the insect eggs earlier.

He led Fei to a blind spot in the other's field of vision, listening to the little insect talking to the female insect they had just encountered.

"Big brother, would you like to buy an insect egg pendant? These pendants have been blessed by the insect god, and they can protect the little insect eggs in your belly so they can be born safely."

The little insect's voice came from not far away. Upon hearing what it said, Jiang Xu understood.

Fei unconsciously looked down at the pendant in her palm: Isn't this supposed to protect the eggs of the worm?

"Really?" The person standing opposite the little bug was clearly incredulous.

"Really, really." The little bug nodded frantically, as if afraid that if it hesitated even a second, the bug on the other side wouldn't believe it.

The female insect opposite didn't reply for a long time. Jiang Xu glanced in their direction with suspicion and noticed that their target customer seemed to be hesitating about something, but finally made a big decision:

"Forget it, I don't want it. Find another insect."

The little bug seemed surprised by his answer and wanted to say something, but the other person left very quickly.

He sighed, sat down on the steps by the street, and began to look at the earnings records on the communicator on his wrist.

He sold three orders that week.

Moreover, it's quite strange that some of them were bought solely by male insects.

He hadn't originally planned to do that order; he never usually sought out male insects for his sales.

After all, everyone knows the personality of the male insect, from the one about to die to the one that has just hatched.

However, he vaguely saw the light in the other person's eyes, the tenderness that was directed at the female insect beside him.

For some reason, he felt that the other party would buy it, so he unconsciously stepped forward.

"Child."

The little female insect shuddered; that voice belonged to the male insect from before.

He suddenly raised his head, quickly hid his hands behind his back, and smiled innocently: "Ah, it's you brothers!"

Should I buy another insect egg pendant?

Seeing the little bug's face change so quickly, Jiang Xu straightened his face and said, "You dare to lie to me."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" The little female insect stood up as if she didn't understand, but glanced around, looking for a quick way to break through.

Jiang Xu saw through his intention and gestured to Fei, who cooperated by stepping forward and grabbing the little insect by the collar.

"When you sold it to us, didn't you say it would help us get pregnant quickly? How come it's become a pendant for protection after you changed the insect?" Jiang Xu's expression was very serious, as if the little insect would face a huge wrath if it didn't explain clearly.

"......." The little insect realized that they had overheard his conversation with the female insect from before. His eyes lit up, and now that his lie had been exposed, he was being grabbed by the collar.

He has no choice but to use his ultimate move.

Jiang Xu was just wondering what kind of explanation the other party would give, but a second later, a pendant suddenly appeared on his leg, and this pendant could even cry.

"My grandfather, my female grandfather, and my male father all died before I hatched. Only my female father and I depended on each other for survival."

But I was unlucky; my father-in-law passed away when I was less than three years old.

I'm just a tiny insect, growing up on the charity of everyone on this street. I finally managed to start a small business by collecting and selling trash.

But fate played a cruel trick; this small business proved to be extremely difficult.

The child's innocent voice, mixed with pitiful cries, drew the attention of the surrounding insects, who stopped and looked in their direction.

Jiang Xu's face darkened.
