After listening to Mikel finish speaking, Cheng Chu buried his face in Mikel's neck and remained silent for a long time. It felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and there was a lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow or exhale. He felt a dull ache and a sour feeling in his heart.

He found it hard to imagine how Mikel, who was so young, managed to get through all that.

Cheng Chu didn't know how to comfort Mikel. So much time had passed, it wouldn't make any difference what she said.

A somber atmosphere permeated the bedroom, so quiet it seemed as if the person and the insect embracing each other on the bed were both asleep.

After a long while, Mikel sighed softly. He raised his hand and stroked the male insect's short hair, his long knuckles running smoothly through the slightly stiff hair.

"My lord, don't be sad about my past. I've overcome those painful and difficult times; they're just experiences." His voice held a hint of amusement, as if he had let go of the past. "From now on, let's live happily and peacefully, okay?"

The lifespan of a Zergling is long; no one can live in the past forever. Only by moving beyond memories and cherishing the present can we move towards a new life.

"Okay," Cheng Chu replied sullenly.

Mikel, afraid of touching the wound on the male insect's face, stepped back slightly, but the male insect clung to her again.

Mikel pressed his palm against the male insect's forehead: "Master, it's too crowded. If I fall asleep, I'll touch your wound."

"We won't bump into each other." Cheng Chu pulled Mikel's hand down and stretched her neck to squeeze in. "I just want to hold you while I sleep."

Mikel couldn't resist the male insect's insistence and had to let him hold her. She could only keep a closer eye on him when he fell asleep.

Thinking of the scene today where Tegels pointed out Mikel, Cheng Chu pursed his lips and asked, "Wife, did you do Tegels's legs and arms?"

"Yes." Mikel didn't hide it. He said, "I was the one who asked the bug to fight him."

Cheng Chu asked, "Why?"

Mikel: "Because he deserves it."

Tegels repeatedly incited netizens and spread rumors to smear Mikel on the StarNet, causing Mikel to repeatedly find herself in the eye of the storm. Mikel told Cheng Chu everything without hiding anything.

"What!" Cheng Chu exclaimed, jumping up from the bed in agitation. She angrily berated Tegels, "He's the one who got you cursed by those bugs on the StarNet so many times! He's awful! Is he out of his mind?!"

Judging from his sudden outburst today, Tegels is indeed not in a good mental state.

Cheng Chu was so angry about Mikel being scolded that he didn't realize that he and Mikel were the ones who were scolded in the first place.

"My Lord." Mikel propped himself up on his elbows, trying to sit up. However, due to his pregnancy, the movement was a little clumsy.

When Cheng Chu saw this, he immediately reached out to help Mikel sit up and put his own pillow behind Mikel's back to make him more comfortable.

After finishing this, Cheng Chu turned around, stretched out her long arm, and turned on the bedside nightlight.

"And then there was our first time at the hospital," Mikel suddenly brought up, adding, "He was also involved in drugging me."

Because there was no concrete evidence of drugging, Mikel couldn't openly do anything to Tegels and Asvida.

As a child, Tegels resembled his father the most, so Mikel couldn't bring herself to discipline him. This repeated forbearance only emboldened Tegels to take advantage of her.

Unable to find another opportunity to frame Mikel, they repeatedly used the StarNet to smear and spread rumors about Mikel and Cheng Chu.

Upon hearing that Tegels was also responsible for the hospital incident, Cheng Chu pounded the bed in anger, shouting, "He must be mentally ill! And seriously ill at that!"

As he continued his tirade, Cheng Chu turned to Mikel and said, "Wife, he's done so many disgusting things. You've only hit him twice; isn't that letting him off too easily?"

We have to beat him at least ten or eight times, then break his other unbroken hands and legs, and then beat his head until it's like a pig's head. Even that won't let Cheng Chu vent his anger.

"A mighty ruler."

"Um?"

"Don't you think it's too insidious of me to secretly send insects to break his hands and legs and then deny it? It shows no regard for the fact that he's my brother, and that I'm cold-blooded and heartless?"

Mikel lowered his head and placed his hands on his lower abdomen. The dim light from the night lamp fell on him, giving his golden hair a soft, warm glow.

Cheng Chu watched this scene, his heart throbbing slightly, a warm feeling tinged with heartache. His tone was a mix of reproach and complaint: "What kind of younger brother is he? He doesn't even treat you like his older brother. I think you hit him too lightly. I should have kicked him a few more times today. I should have specifically kicked his broken leg; it must have hurt him a lot."

At this point, Cheng Chu felt truly sorry for him. Undeterred, he asked, "Wife, how about I find another chance to beat him up?"

Cheng Chu rubbed his hands together, eager to try: "Teach me the best way to fight first. Once I learn, I guarantee I can crush him! I'll avenge you!"

Mikel: "..."

"Master, why are you thinking of fighting again?" Mikel pressed down on the male insect's shoulder, refusing, "No, Master, you can't fight anymore. The wound on your face doesn't hurt anymore, right?"

"But..." Cheng Chu hung her head, looking unwilling.

Mikel forbids him from fighting, and it's impossible for the Zerg Empire's laws to punish Tegels.

Mikel looked at the male insect with a long face and said with a smile, "Master, he's already suffered enough."

Cheng Chu immediately perked up and asked anxiously, "What else did you do? How did he end up in such a terrible state?"

Mikel recounted Tegels's miserable state: "He lost his fertility, squandered almost all his wealth, had his hands and feet broken, and it was revealed that he was insane."

In a society like the Zerg, a male Zerg that is infertile and insane will not fare well.

The females avoid him like the plague, and the males look down on him. Tegels's future is likely to be quite interesting.

"My lord, do you think he's suffered enough?" Mikel asked.

It's difficult to judge whether Tegels' situation is bad enough. He asked curiously, "How could he be infertile?"

Cheng Chu didn't think this belonged to Mikelgan at all. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He said, "Could it be because of that Wei Hai?"

The previously widely publicized "Dangerous Sea" incident, wasn't it reported in the news that it would gradually cause male insects to lose their fertility? Then, Tegels gave Mikel this "Dangerous Sea" incident, and Cheng Chu immediately connected the two.

Mikel praised him, "My lord, you guessed right, you are very clever."

Asvida was able to use the Sea of ​​Danger to frame Mikel because Tegels was also using the Sea of ​​Danger and was well aware of its influence on the female insect's spiritual sea.

After news broke that the insect could cause male infertility, many males refused to admit it for fear of losing face. The symptoms worsened with time, and Tegels was among the last males to be diagnosed; it was too late for treatment.

However, out of consideration for the male insects, news of those male insects that have lost their fertility has been kept secret.

Two months ago, Tegels was a fat male insect with a big belly. He lost weight after the Dangerous Sea incident, which is when Mikel noticed something was wrong.

Mikel briefly explained these details to the male insect. Cheng Chu listened, stunned, his expression one of bewilderment: "Ah... I see..."

"Master, I'm a little sleepy." Mikel hugged the male insect's arm, pressed her face against his shoulder, and yawned while covering her mouth.

"Huh?" Cheng Chu said "Oh" again, and carefully helped Mikel lie down.

"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

As she spoke, she lay down herself, pulled the covers up, and hugged Mikel, falling asleep almost immediately.
