The Males Were Reborn After The Female Ruler Was Scumbed [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 29
Lu Qing spent an hour listening to the love-hate saga between his compatriot and General Wales, and his expression was very subtle.
Lu Qing slowly shoved a potato chip he snatched from Chu Ran into his mouth, mumbling:
“… Are you saying that General Wales married you just to cure his male Zerg phobia and have a family heir, and he actually didn’t like you at all?”
“Yes, not just dislike, but practically enduring disgust.” Chu Ran gave a chilling laugh, “He even planned to divorce me after giving birth to a high-level Zerg child.”
Chu Ran still felt choked up thinking about his feelings at the time.
He had known that Wales was slightly allergic to male Zerg pheromones, and he found it strange that Wales, who clearly disliked physical contact with male Zerg, never resisted his desensitization actions.
Chu Ran used to secretly rejoice over this, thinking the other party was actively seeking treatment because he liked him and wanted to adapt to his presence.
Later, Chu Ran found out that he only did it so he could feel better when they had s3x.
No wonder Wales was so cold to him. No wonder he never slept embracing him.
Even during intimacy, he always excused himself with work immediately afterward, as if completing a task.
“Lu Qing, you are luckier than me.”
Chu Ran stuffed a potato chip into his mouth emotionlessly, chewing loudly, as if he were biting the hateful Houston Wales.
“Although Lan Xi is overbearing, he… likes you. As long as you turn back, your feelings will always be reciprocated.”
Lu Qing was somewhat at a loss for words.
“Unlike me.”
His first attempt at love ended up a bloody mess.
Chu Ran’s expression was very flat. No one would feel good knowing that the person next to them only regarded them as a sowing machine.
To Wales, any male Zerg was the same, nothing special. It just happened to be Chu Ran.
It just happened that Wales’s rejection of his pheromones was very low.
This matter was a huge blow to Chu Ran. The first person he met after arriving in the Zerg race was Wales, and he had been in love with him for five years.
That female Zerg rescued him from a desolate land full of corpses, and in another sense, pushed him into a lightless abyss.
“I thought General Wales just looked a bit cold… I didn’t expect him to be so awful.”
Lu Qing told the system on the side that he felt like spitting in contempt. There was actually a Zerg scum that made even him, Lu Qing, humbly admit defeat.
Although he ran away when disaster struck, during the duration of his marriage with Lan Xi, he could be considered a model husband. While he didn’t give emotional affection, he at least provided actions.
Unlike Wales.
The system was even angrier than Lu Qing, crackling with electricity.
Lu Qing: “System, I think you shouldn’t have bound me. You should go bind General Wales.”
“He sounds much more of a scum than I am.”
Emotional abuse, marriage fraud, child fraud. If you add a substitute, all the elements of a crematorium (a dramatic plotline of painful redemption) would be complete.
The only reason nobody in the Zerg race knows about it is now. If the author wrote this and put it on Jinjiang (a popular Chinese novel website), he would surely be flamed to death.
The system was already seething with anger from listening to Chu Ran’s story. It rolled its eyes in annoyance, “Host, can we please not compare who’s the worst?”
Can you try to learn something good?
Lu Qing blinked, looking innocent, “I mean it. General Wales is in urgent need of transformation.”
So, why don’t you unbind and go…
“Don’t even think about it. I can’t unbind until the transformation is complete.”
The system saw through his little scheme, “Stop thinking about sending me away so you can pack up and run.”
“It’s a misunderstanding, System Granny, I absolutely have no such intention.”
Lu Qing’s expression was so sincere, “I’m simply feeling indignant for Lanlan and angry at the scum male Zerg.”
The system snorted, “Don’t worry, a colleague from another department will come to deal with him for me.”
Lu Qing: “… What department?”
The system’s electrical current paused slightly. It puffed out its chest proudly, “The Husband-Chasing Crematorium department.”
That’s the department this System used to be in!
Lu Qing: “…”
Fine.
“What are you planning to do next?” Lu Qing asked Chu Ran, “I think he seems a little eager to reconcile with you.”
“Who knows what he’s scheming again.” Chu Ran felt that only delicious food could cure his bad mood from seeing Wales.
However, the corner of his eye caught Lu Qing secretly moving his hand over to sneak potato chips. He was speechless for a moment and handed him the entire bag, “—Take it, take it.”
Lu Qing smiled brightly. When Lan Xi was here, he always forbade him from eating this and that, and his mouth was starting to taste bland.
Lu Qing smacked his lips, “What if he is genuinely remorseful and wants to reconcile with you?”
“So what? Should I forgive him?” Chu Ran took out a box of small cookies—
No one knew how many snacks Chu Ran kept on his person.
“I, Chu Ran, am not some pushover, and I’m not that pathetic either.”
“That he can just wave his hand, give some benefits, and expect me to forget those hurts and pains, and shamelessly return as if nothing happened.”
“That’s right.” Lu Qing supported his compatriot unconditionally, regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
“But,” Lu Qing thought of the little Zerg child, “What about Chu Jue?”
“I’m taking the Zerg child with me,” Chu Ran said, “I’ve been absent for five years. The child’s disorder is serious. I need to bring him back and raise him properly.”
“Staying at the Wales family, a male Zerg child like him, who knows how much he will be mistreated and bullied.”
“…” Lu Qing felt that something wasn’t quite right. Judging by Wales’s attitude towards Chu Jue, it didn’t seem like he would be bullied.
But seeing Chu Ran’s murderous look, he felt he shouldn’t provoke him by speaking well of Wales.
Scratching his head, “Lanlan, but General Wales just wants a Zerg child, right? Can you get him back?”
“He only wants a female Zerg child. Why would he care about a male Zerg child?”
Chu Ran’s eyes were cold, “If he truly cared about Chu Jue, why didn’t he even tell me when I was pregnant?”
“His rank is SSS. He must have known as soon as the embryo was successfully conceived.”
It was true that Chu Ran was nowhere to be found for five years after he left, but before that, before the divorce, Wales clearly had so many opportunities to tell him, yet he didn’t. He quickly agreed to the divorce.
He needlessly caused the Zerg child to lose the comforting pheromones of one of his fathers, leading to the disorder, a regression in rank, and physical depletion.
He must have been incredibly tired of him and wanted a divorce for a long time, only dragging it out because of his Cifu‘s military authority.
Even leaving Chu Jue behind was probably because it’s difficult for high-level female Zerg to conceive, and abortion violates Imperial law.
“If I hadn’t come back…” Chu Ran couldn’t imagine what would have happened, “Maybe I would never have known I once had a Zerg child.”
If his hatred for Wales before was purely because he lied to him and humiliated him, now, because of Chu Jue, another heavy score was added.
The disorder only appears in naturally conceived high-level Zerg children.
The Zerg race has single-embryo cultivation technology, but Zerg eggs produced by technology cannot compare in physical constitution or mental strength to those conceived naturally.
However, children born this way are plagued by the disorder.
Perhaps it is the law of ebb and flow in the universe: the stronger the race, the more fragile the young are in their infancy.
He is an S-rank male Zerg, and Wales is an SSS-rank female Zerg. Their child should not be lower than SS-rank.
But Chu Jue’s mental strength rank has regressed to A.
And his physique is the same.
If the disorder cannot be cured, it will be difficult for him to live past the age of ten.
“I will bring Chu Jue back.” Chu Ran’s eyes were very cold, his pupils a chilling green, somehow giving off a slightly eerie impression.
“It’s best if he agrees. If he doesn’t, I don’t mind making him pay a price.”
At that moment, Lu Qing felt a considerably dangerous and terrifying aura emanating from his compatriot.
“Fine.” Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, “Then if you can’t manage it, remember to tell me…”
“Qingqing…”
Before Chu Ran could be touched, he heard him continue, “You’re going to collect my body and burn money for me, so I have to give you a couple of bad ideas in return.”
Chu Ran: “…………”
Are you seriously that vindictive?
Chu Ran said impatiently, “Remember to give me half of the things I demanded from Wales earlier. I just heard your terminal ring.”
It must have been sent over already.
Lu Qing tightly clutched his wallet, “It’s mine once it’s given to me!!”
He still needed to buy his freedom!!
Chu Ran: “I was the one who demanded it. It’s already good enough that I’m splitting half with you.”
Lu Qing: “I’m not listening, I’m not listening.”
“Oh, are you sure?” Lan Xi smiled faintly, “That’s community property from my marriage with him. Are you sure you want to take it all?”
“Be careful Lan Xi gets jealous and ‘jams and brews’ you…” (A euphemism for intimate acts)
“Do you think I’m afraid of him?!”
Lu Qing’s face darkened. Am I really that cowardly?
Lu Qing transferred the document Wales had just sent him, “Here, take it.”
“Why didn’t you take it when you divorced?” Lu Qing felt heartbroken, clicking his tongue. Why must you make me gain and then lose… wuu.
Chu Ran snorted, “I was still a love-struck fool when I divorced. Can’t I feel ripped off now?”
Chu Ran looked at his terminal and saw that besides the file Lu Qing transferred, his Cifu had also sent a message.
“I’m leaving.” Chu Ran waved his hand, “I’ll come back to see you another day.”
Lu Qing flopped onto the bed like a salted fish, “Go, hurry up and go.”
If he didn’t leave soon, his angina would flare up.
Chu Ran stopped halfway, suddenly remembered something, turned around, and smiled, “I see you’re pretty much recovered. Hope to see you at the shop next week, Manager Lu.”
Lu Qing: “… Get out.”
Lu Qing got a headache just thinking about going to work.
He had been so spoiled by Lan Xi these past few days—being fed and clothed without having to lift a finger—that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to work.
It was definitely not a good feeling QAQ
Lu Qing felt a strange sense of melancholy, like a Zerg who had been lounging for too long.
When Lan Xi’s communication request came in, Lu Qing was still lying on the bed like a corpse.
“Lu Qing?”
“Mm…” Lu Qing didn’t want to get up. He tossed the terminal aside, and the projection landed on the ceiling.
“You’re here already?”
Lan Xi’s starship flight was at 6 PM, about a three-hour journey to Karma Star.
It wasn’t even 9 PM yet.
“Yes.”
Lan Xi seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing a loose white bathrobe.
His hair wasn’t dried, still wet and carrying moisture.
“Yes, I used a new jump point this time. It’s much faster than usual.”
Lan Xi looked at the male Zerg huddled in the blanket, only showing a fuzzy head, his emerald eyes very gentle.
“Lu Qing, you look a little unhappy. What happened?”
“… Nothing.” Perhaps it was because of what Chu Ran said in the afternoon, or perhaps because the night was gentle.
Lu Qing’s tone subconsciously had a hint of petulance, “My injury is almost healed…”
“And so?” Lan Xi picked up a towel and slowly dried his hair, “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“But I kind of don’t want to go to work.”
Lan Xi didn’t feel that his male Zerg was unmotivated at all; he was practically hoping he wouldn’t go and would let him take care of him.
He smoothly replied, “Then don’t go.”
Lu Qing was very worried, “But I still owe you so, so much money…”
He could have paid it back, but Chu Ran took half.
Now it was uncertain again.
The Wales family was rooted in the military and their wealth was far less than the Edrei family.
Not expecting this answer, a hint of a smile flashed in Lan Xi’s eyes, “I have a method. Would you like to hear it?”
Lu Qing was on high alert, “I, I, I, I’m telling you, don’t even think about me selling myself.”
At least not now.
“It’s not that.” Lan Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise, his expression as if to say, why would you think that?
It made Lu Qing wonder if he was overreacting.
“Then what is it?”
Lan Xi beckoned, “Pick up the terminal, sit up, and I’ll tell you.”
Lu Qing gave him a strange look, not understanding the significance, but still sat up obediently.
Lan Xi leaned closer to the terminal, and the projected figure also leaned closer to Lu Qing.
The next second, Lu Qing received an unexpected kiss.
Lu Qing: “…”
“Alright, I lied to you.” The sub-male Zerg’s eyes held a hint of mischief, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a taste.
“I just wanted an excuse to kiss you.”
