I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.

"Hmm." Mikel pushed the lunchbox away, his hand habitually resting on his lower abdomen, and leaned back on the sofa.

"But, General..." Elijah looked at Mikel's slightly protruding belly, and thinking that the General's due date was approaching, he worried that it might be too late. So he stammered, "Today is the third day since we left, and your belly... Besides, Lord Cheng Chu is still waiting for you to return home."

There's no immediate result regarding Admiral Aris's situation; a few more days are acceptable. However, the insect eggs inside the admiral's belly can't wait. If they don't want the eggs to hatch on planet AF9 or be en route, Elijah thinks they should return as soon as possible.

Mikel was aware of Elijah's concerns; he had previously thought that although time was tight, he should be able to get back in time.

But when he heard Elijah mention that the male insects in his house were waiting for him, Mikel lowered his head in thought, and began to hesitate.

During the three days he was away, the male insect would send him messages every day, asking if he was okay and if the babies were okay.

Knowing he was busy, she would only call him via video call before he went to bed at night. Although the male insect didn't say it, Mikel knew his worries.

Seeing that Mikel was deep in thought and remained silent, Elijah continued, "General, how about we return to the capital first, and then I'll arrange the investigation later? What do you think of this arrangement?"

Elijah hadn't finished speaking when he was abruptly interrupted by a series of "beep! beep!" sounds.

It was Mikel's personal computer that issued a message notification; a message had arrived.

In order not to miss any messages from the male insects, Mikel turned on the notification sound on his personal computer after returning, and even turned the volume up a bit.

At this time, as expected, it was the message sent by the male insect.

Mikel raised his hand to signal a pause in the conversation, and Elijah immediately fell silent.

Mikel opened the chat page with the male insect and looked down at the new messages.

Cheng Chu: [Wife, are you done with your work? Have you had dinner? Are you very tired today? Do you remember that I'm here waiting for you at home?]

Cheng Chu: [Wife, when are you planning to come back?]

It wasn't until the third day that the male insect asked him when he would return. It seemed that three days was indeed a long time, and the male insect was getting anxious.

Mikel didn't reply to the male insect's message first. Instead, he looked up at Elijah and changed his mind, saying, "Elijah, go investigate early tomorrow morning. No matter what you find, we'll return to the capital in the afternoon. Book your tickets for the earliest spaceship back this afternoon in advance."

They came with the investigation team, and if they were to return early, they would have to take a commercial spaceship. After all, the investigation team's progress was not yet complete, and their return date was still uncertain.

Upon hearing this, Elijah stood up from the sofa and smiled, "Yes, General."

Even if it's just returning an afternoon early, it's still early. It seems that it was Lord Cheng Chu who could change their general's mind, and Elijah couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

Knowing that Mikel was going to report back to Lord Cheng Chu, Elijah tactfully said, "General, I'll go back to the next room to rest now. Call me if you need anything. You should also get some rest."

Mikel nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the screen, and hummed in response without looking up.

For some reason, the male insect on the other side just retracted its latest message.

Elijah quickly gathered the lunchboxes on the table and put them in the trash can before closing the door and leaving.

The door to the room was closed, leaving Mikel alone. He turned on his personal terminal and made a video call to the male insect.

The other side responded quickly, and the next second the male insect's enlarged handsome face appeared on the screen, with two black eyes and a high nose occupying the very center of the screen.

"Wife, wife~" the male insect called out excitedly. Realizing he was too close, he moved the quantum computer away a little, finally revealing his entire upper body. "You finally have time to contact me. I've been waiting for your reply."

Mikel chuckled, "My lord, I apologize, have you been waiting long?"

Cheng Chu shook his head: "No, no."

She added, "I feel like time is passing slowly because I miss you so much. You reply to my messages very quickly, not at all."

A slight smile appeared in Mikel's eyes, and he deliberately asked, "Oh, is that so?"

"Yes, yes." Cheng Chu nodded vigorously, indicating that he was telling the truth.

Mikel then asked, "My lord, what did you just withdraw?"

"Uh..." Cheng Chu's eyes darted away as he spoke. He stammered, "It's nothing... it's just, it's just that I..."

Cheng Chu felt conflicted. He had agreed to let Mikel go when Mikel told him. Including travel time, he had only been there for a day, yet he was already urging Mikel to come back.

This is too hasty. Won't Mikel find him annoying?

Mikel understood perfectly well that the male insect wanted him to return sooner, but didn't want to rush him, which was why he withdrew. So, instead of letting the male insect guess, he said directly, "Master, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Chu sat bolt upright in bed. His face was pressed very close to the personal terminal, his dark eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "Really? Honey, you're really coming back tomorrow afternoon?"

Mikel nodded, mimicking the male insect, and said, "Really, really."

He continued, "My lord, we'll catch the earliest spaceship tomorrow afternoon, but it will still take more than twenty hours to get home, so it might not be that fast."

Upon hearing Mikel's words, Cheng Chu secretly calculated in his mind that he would be back tomorrow afternoon, and in twenty hours, he would arrive home on the evening of the sixth day.

If the hospitals here in Zerg are reliable, and the due dates are really not that different, then it should be enough time.

He leaned against the headboard, grinned at Mikel, and said, "It's okay, you don't need to rush. Your health is the most important thing. Don't overwork yourself."

Just now, Cheng Chu had even considered that if it was too late, he could still rush over.

"I know, my lord, don't worry."

What Mikel didn't tell the male insect was that the straight-line distance from planet AF9 back to the capital was only twenty hours, but civilian spaceships would have to stop at several stations along the way for fifteen minutes, and the final arrival time would be slower than that of military spaceships.

Knowing Mikel's special status as a female soldier, Cheng Chu was afraid of asking something inappropriate that might embarrass her, so he didn't inquire about her work. Seeing that Mikel was still in her uniform at this hour, Cheng Chu asked, "Wife, haven't you washed up yet? Have you had dinner?"

"I didn't wash up," Mikel answered truthfully, "but I did have dinner."
