The Males Were Reborn After The Female Ruler Was Scumbed [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 25
Lu Qing’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him utterly chaotic, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
What was happening?!
Was he hallucinating, or had Lan Xi gone mad?!
However, the warm, soft touch on his lips clearly reminded him that this was not a hallucination.
Very good, Lu Qing thought dazedly, then Lan Xi has gone mad.
Lu Qing was so shocked he was twisted, stunned into a daze, and for a moment, he forgot to push the sub-male Zerg away.
It must be said that Lu Qing’s lack of resistance successfully quelled the anger in Lan Xi’s heart. The dark side, which had been ignited by the male Zerg’s avoiding attitude, vanished without a trace, and the hand gripping the male Zerg’s chin relaxed slightly.
The male Zerg rarely didn’t push him away, and Lan Xi was a sub-male Zerg who knew how to seize an opportunity. He wanted to do something more.
However, he had been focused on his career all these years, and his contact with male Zerg was even less than the change in Lu Qing’s pockets, let alone kissing. After pressing his lips onto him, he suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Lan Xi, who had never seen a pig run but had eaten pork, pondered for a moment, carefully licked the seam of the male Zerg’s lips, and then looked expectantly at the male Zerg—
He found that the male Zerg was actually spacing out.
Uh-huh.
He was! Spacing! Out!
Lan Xi: “…”
“Hiss—!!”
Lu Qing, whose mind was wandering, was suddenly dragged back to reality by the sharp pain on his lips. Lu Qing instinctively pushed the sub-male Zerg away, “—Are you crazy? Why did you bite me?!”
Lu Qing covered his mouth, hissing in pain.
Couldn’t they talk things out nicely? Did he have to use his mouth!!
Lan Xi gave a cold laugh, pried open the male Zerg’s hand, forcefully clasped the back of his head, and kissed him again.
He was determined to pry open this male Zerg’s clamshell today.
The sub-male Zerg’s kissing skills were as terrible as in his previous life, unable to do anything but gnaw. A heavy smell of bl00d permeated the space between their lips and teeth.
Lu Qing glared at the sub-male Zerg’s eyes as if they were spitting fire, his hands trembling with anger—
Is this how you kiss?
Who kisses like this, gnawing and biting?!
Just because others don’t get angry, do you treat them like fools?
Lu Qing grabbed Lan Xi’s collar, slightly pushed him away to take a breath, and then, before the sub-male Zerg could react, he pulled him close, lowered his head, and kissed him.
Lu Qing was not an easy target either. Being provoked repeatedly, only one thought remained in his mind at that moment: he was going to teach Lan Xi a lesson.
Lan Xi’s gaze froze, his emerald green pupils contracted into vertical slits. He subconsciously shrank back, “Lu…?”
Lu Qing clasped the sub-male Zerg’s lower back, forcing the other party to lean forward.
The sub-male Zerg was forced to lean back, but the back of his head was still held by the male Zerg, leaving him nowhere to evade.
Lu Qing retreated slightly, grinding his thumb on the sub-male Zerg’s lips, “… Open your mouth.”
Lan Xi was stunned, seemingly a little malfunctioning. He obediently opened his mouth when he heard that, letting Lu Qing in.
The sound of intimate moisture spread in the space. The sub-male Zerg’s pupils expanded back to a round shape, a thin sheen of moisture covering his emerald eyes. His gaze was somewhat diffused, the corners of his eyes tilted up, dragging out a charming blush.
“Mm…”
The air was filled with the unique pheromone scent of Lu Qing, making Lan Xi’s head feel a little dizzy.
—Of course, it was also possible that it was due to a slight lack of oxygen caused by the male Zerg’s excessive acquisition.
Lan Xi arched his body backward, a little overwhelmed. The hand that was originally clasping the back of the male Zerg’s head had slipped down at some point, and his knuckles, clutching the corner of the male Zerg’s clothes, were white from strain.
Lu Qing saw this and let out a soft hum, but his actions sincerely softened a lot.
The air was warming up, but right at this moment—
“Knock, knock—”
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, pulling the somewhat oblivious male Zerg and sub-male Zerg back to reality. Lu Qing subconsciously retreated, but because he was already leaning against the headboard, he bumped into the cold wall with a retreat.
Lan Xi was already a little weak and immediately collapsed into Lu Qing’s arms, panting on his chest.
Lu Qing: “…………”
“Your Excellency.”
It was Eilnis. Because of the door, his voice sounded a little muffled.
Lan Xi tried his best to stabilize his breathing, his voice carrying a slight, almost inaudible tremor, “… What is it?”
The voice outside the door paused for some reason, “… It’s about tomorrow’s proposal. Senator Colin has some matters to discuss with you. The Zerg is already waiting at the Edrei residence.”
Lan Xi: “… I understand.”
“You… go back first…”
“Yes.”
Eilnis was a very sensible Zerg. For example, now, sensing the male Zerg pheromone seeping through the door crack, he considerately didn’t urge him further and quietly slipped away, leaving the suffocating awkwardness to the two Zerg involved.
Lan Xi raised his head. His cheeks were still flushed, a hint of moisture on his lips. His naturally light lip color had turned a deeper red due to the prolonged kissing, as if a black-and-white figure painting had suddenly been colored, making him incredibly vibrant.
“Lu Qing.” Lan Xi slowly propped himself up and leaned closer to Lu Qing, “You understand my intentions, right?”
Lu Qing: “…”
He really didn’t want to understand, but they had been aggressively kissing for quite a while now; he had to understand even if he didn’t want to.
Lu Qing’s expression was complicated, “So what? What exactly do you want to do?”
“Nothing much.” Lan Xi smiled, “Just want you to be my Xiong Zhu (Male Master/Partner).”
Lu Qing: “…”
In his previous life, Lan Xi had also said the same words.
Ten thousand years ago, when the male-female ratio hadn’t been imbalanced, female Zerg would use this title for their partners, signifying loyalty, submission, and… undying protection.
Ten thousand years later, the male-female status was reversed. Female Zerg dominated in the military, politics, academia… every aspect, and marriage was no exception.
Only Lan Xi would call him Xiong Zhu.
In this female Zerg-dominant society, although male Zerg were not abused or mistreated, they always lacked the leading power.
But in both lives, Lan Xi gave the leading power to him.
Lu Qing’s expression was complex, “… I am just an ordinary male Zerg. I don’t have such qualifications.”
Lan Xi stared straight at him, “You have my affection. Nothing qualifies you more than that.”
Lu Qing: “…”
In fact, Lu Qing hadn’t been completely oblivious these days. Perhaps it was his heart unwilling to believe, or perhaps it was a subconscious evasion… it seemed that as long as Lan Xi didn’t explicitly lay it out, Lu Qing could continue to pretend to be a fool with peace of mind.
The burning pain on his lips reminded Lu Qing of everything that had just happened. At this point, even if Lu Qing genuinely wanted to keep playing dumb, it seemed a little impossible.
He instinctively turned his head to avoid eye contact, but the sub-male Zerg pulled him back the next second, forcing him to meet his gaze.
The sub-male Zerg’s eyes were bright, like a little fox whose trick had succeeded, his tail wagging happily, “You’re not completely indifferent to me either, are you?”
Lu Qing instinctively denied it: “I didn’t…”
“Oh?” The sub-male Zerg smiled faintly, “Didn’t what? Not interested? No feeling?”
His expression was as if to say, kissed me and then tossed me away, not admitting it, is that it?
Lu Qing: “…”
Honestly, Lu Qing originally only intended to fight fire with fire, but the kissing… got a little intoxicating.
Lu Qing never denied Lan Xi’s attraction to him. This sub-male Zerg had a beauty that transcended gender. The sight of him nestled in his arms, obediently being kissed, was hard for even the stone-hearted Lu Qing to be immune to.
For a moment, he forgot what he was originally going to do.
But if he really said that, would the sub-male Zerg literally kill him?
Lu Qing awkwardly rubbed his nose. He couldn’t figure out where things went wrong.
Why did Lan Xi like him?
In his previous life, Lu Qing was skilled at sweet-talking. It wasn’t surprising that a combination of coaxing and deceiving tactics successfully hooked a sub-male Zerg whose emotional slate was blank.
But in this life, Lu Qing had the system. Heaven knows, he had no intention of pursuing Lan Xi at all.
In fact, because he hadn’t been very kind in his previous life, he consciously avoided and hid from him, wanting the sub-male Zerg to continue shining in his career, without having to grieve for an unworthy Zerg again.
He wanted to let Lan Xi go, but Lan Xi refused.
Lu Qing sighed, stretched out his hand, and slowly tidied the sub-male Zerg’s hair that had become messy from their intimacy, feeling the smooth and soft strands flowing through his palm, “You deserve a better male Zerg.”
Lu Qing spoke sincerely.
Harming someone for one lifetime was enough. Harming him for two lifetimes was a bit too much. He still had a tiny bit of conscience.
Even if Lu Qing wasn’t entirely uninterested in him, Lu Qing knew that when danger came again, he would most likely run.
He was such a selfish Zerg. He understood this better than anyone else.
The past of his previous life could not be changed, but in this life, Lu Qing didn’t want to ruin anyone else. He wanted to give this sub-male Zerg, whose eyes and heart were once filled with him, a different ending.
“Lan Xi.” Lu Qing’s expression was serious, and he said earnestly, “You need to find a male Zerg who is genuinely good to you. Don’t constantly hang on a crooked tree, okay?”
Lan Xi was a little disappointed by this but didn’t react much, as if he had expected the other party to refuse. He slowly stood up and looked down at Lu Qing, “So, you won’t agree?”
“Ha…” Lu Qing was about to try to persuade him when he saw the sub-male Zerg slowly rise to his feet, looking down at Lu Qing, “Alright. Since you are unwilling to be my Xiong Zhu, then let me be your creditor.”
Lu Qing: “…?”
Lan Xi pulled out a file from his spatial button and handed it to him, smiling faintly, “Want to take a look?”
Lu Qing: “…………”
Why did he suddenly have a bad feeling?
Lu Qing opened the file bag. There were many documents: an asset valuation report for the crystal mine, a certificate of identity transfer from the Male Zerg Rescue Association, and an agreement for the transfer of usage rights for the identity chip.
“I was originally thinking, if you were completely uninterested in me…” Lan Xi said airily, “This thing would definitely not appear before you, and I would think of other gentler methods.”
Lan Xi curved his lips, somehow chilling, “But you clearly like me, yet you still want to be an ostrich, which makes me very unhappy.”
Lan Xi leaned down, pinched the male Zerg’s chin, his eyes dark, “Did you think I was just threatening you when I said I would directly kidnap you?”
Lu Qing: “………………”
Help.
“You, you, you calm down. Kidnapping a male Zerg is illegal… QAQ”
“Do you know what these documents represent?” Lan Xi looked at the male Zerg’s feigned composure and chuckled, “I bought you from the Male Zerg Rescue Association with a crystal mine worth 28 billion…”
“And until you pay off the debt, or rather… until you agree to marry me…” The sub-male Zerg’s gaze was obscure, “You can’t go anywhere.”
Author’s Note:
Regarding the system, I still want to defend it a bit. When it was initially designed, it was a humorous system for comic relief, only able to regulate the host’s behavior, not a cheat. It was always a character that was led by the host;
As mentioned before, the system used to be in the crematorium group and initially had a lot of hostility towards the scumbag, but its personality is actually very simple. You can tell from its codename that it’s not very smart and its programming is rigid, but it’s slowly improving and thinking of sacrificing for the host… Maybe I didn’t write it well, and the presentation is different from what I intended.
Another point is about the setting of more female Zerg than male Zerg. Most of it is my made-up private setting. In fact, it was mentioned briefly in the previous text that the two genders were originally similar, but a great war ten thousand years ago caused high-ranking female Zerg to die in batches. The male-female ratio began to be imbalanced, and because female Zerg have difficulty reproducing, sub-male Zerg appeared;
For the continuation and inheritance of the race, male Zerg were mainly scared by the female Zerg, and now it is female Zerg who dominate. However, with the adjustment of time, the gender imbalance is gradually improving;
Then the division of labor is: Female Zerg are individually strong and responsible for guarding the Zerg race from external enemies; Sub-male Zerg bear the heavy responsibility of race reproduction; Male Zerg in the social division of labor are somewhat like worker bees—they are everywhere and do all kinds of work.
