Because Salaranfa male zergs are scarce, taking multiple female consorts is, in a way, also aimed at increasing the fertility rate. Even the Zerg Emperor tacitly acknowledges this rule, not to mention other zergs. However, Lu Yuan has always been an intruder in this world. Adding one more of him doesn’t make much difference, and one less doesn’t change things much either. Marrying female consorts is something he feels he doesn’t need to bother with.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Apu’s expression showed some surprise and doubt. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Lu Yuan to have such thoughts. “You don’t plan on taking any female consorts?”
Lu Yuan didn’t seem like he was joking: “I’ll only marry one female zerg.”
A high-ranking general of the empire couldn’t help but express his astonishment, “But Your Excellency, your blood purity is a perfect 100%. How can you only marry one female zerg?”
Lu Yuan knew that saying such things among the Zerg Race would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar because it goes against social norms. However, the rogue in him cared little for rules: “It has nothing to do with blood purity. Even if my blood purity were only 1%, I still wouldn’t plan on marrying female consorts.”
His attitude was so resolute that the empire’s generals, who were secretly calculating in their hearts, were momentarily at a loss on how to persuade him. Regret and deep envy were evident on their faces. Prince Yusto was truly fortunate; not only did he find a male zerg with such high blood purity, but the individual was also willing to reject female consorts for him. Did he save the world in a past life?
Faeus remained silent throughout, observing the whole farce with a sardonic amusement. Internally, he couldn’t help but scoff. He couldn’t believe that male zergs could uphold that peculiar aspect of their anatomy. These zergs in the western regions always liked to elevate male zergs, easily swayed and grateful for a few sweet words. It was foolish and lacked adaptability.
Faeus, losing interest, casually adjusted the coat slipping off his shoulders. “Since that’s the case, I won’t insist, Your Excellency.”
“You certainly shouldn’t insist. After all, there has never been a precedent for marriage between the West and the North.”
A cold voice abruptly cut through the tense atmosphere, shattering the deadlock. Everyone instinctively turned toward the source, only to find that Yusto had silently approached at some point. The once charming expression on his face was now covered with a layer of frost, clearly having overheard the recent conversation.
Emperor Apu’s voice grew slightly stern, “Yusto, do not be insolent.”
Seeing the situation, Lu Yuan reached out, pulling Yusto to his side. He casually held Yusto’s waist and asked, “Didn’t I ask you to wait for me below? Why did you come up?”
Yusto cast a resentful glance at Lu Yuan, “If I had come up any later, I’m afraid you would have taken two more female consorts.”
Lu Yuan smelled the strong scent of acidity coming from Yusto and chuckled, patting him on the back. He gestured that there were elders present, and certain things could be discussed later.
Lu Yuan’s silent gesture asserting dominance evidently reassured Yusto, who obediently quieted down, allowing Lu Yuan to hold him without protest.
Faeus had crossed paths with Yusto a few times before, not enough to claim familiarity, but the memory of the unruly Seventh Prince left a lasting impression. Seeing Yusto nestled in Lu Yuan’s embrace like a docile rabbit, he raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, swaying the wine glass in his hand, “Precedents need to be set. If you don’t set them, how will they ever exist?”
He finished speaking, reaching out to clink glasses with Lu Yuan. In the motion, the military shirt slightly opened, revealing a bronzed chest in all its glory—sexy and wild. Faeus deliberately questioned, “Wouldn’t you agree, Your Excellency?”
Lu Yuan envied his physique a bit, thinking it would be great if he could train to achieve such a figure. Lost in his thoughts, he absentmindedly responded, “Perhaps.”
Yusto: “???”
Yusto was so irritated that he almost bit through his teeth. He subtly tugged at Lu Yuan’s shirt corner and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he couldn’t help but sound jealous, “You’re not allowed to look at him!”
It’s just abs, what’s the big deal? Everyone has them! Just who does that damn Faeus think he’s trying to seduce?!
Yusto sneered inwardly, lowering his voice to tell Lu Yuan, “I’ve got them too. When we get back, I’ll give you a good show!”
Lu Yuan rubbed the fuzzy head of Yusto, thinking about all the nonsense going on. Seeing that Yusto didn’t seem to like Faeus, and fearing a conflict between the two later, he took the initiative to excuse himself, “Your Majesty, Yusto and I won’t disturb your deliberations. We’ll take our leave for now.”
Emperor Apu nodded in agreement. The upcoming discussions were related to the elimination of pollution sources, and it wasn’t suitable for Lu Yuan to stay. Before leaving, Emperor Apu reminded, “Yusto, make sure to take good care of His Excellency Lu Yuan.”
Yusto would have done so without the reminder, but he still bowed respectfully, “I will heed your command.”
Lu Yuan and Yusto left together. As they descended the stairs, Yusto’s annoyed demeanor could still be faintly seen. Lu Yuan, unusually good-natured, comforted him, saying who knows what. Before long, he managed to cheer up Yusto.
Yusto’s eyes lit up, “Really? You better not go back on your word!”
Lu Yuan didn’t say much, just agreeing to visit Yusto’s home after the banquet to strengthen their relationship. After all, there seemed to be a certain process when it came to relationships, at least on Earth. Lu Yuan teased, “Why would I lie to you?”
Yusto hesitated, casting a glance at Lu Yuan, seemingly wanting to ask something. However, considering the circumstances, he refrained from speaking. Finally, he seized Lu Yuan’s wrist, lightly tracing his fingertips in his palm. “In that case, let’s leave now.”
Lu Yuan instinctively replied, “But the banquet hasn’t ended yet…”
Ignoring Lu Yuan’s concern, Yusto pulled him towards the exit. “Don’t you find this kind of banquet boring? I used to leave after a few minutes. Today, I stayed for a full two hours, all for your sake.”
Dealing with Faeus earlier was already troublesome enough for Yusto, and he had no intention of dealing with other aristocrats.
Lu Yuan also didn’t enjoy lingering in such occasions. Hearing Yusto suggest leaving early, he went along and exited the hall with him.
As they were about to leave, Lu Yuan casually glanced back. Amidst the clinking of glasses and the mingling crowd, a gracefully handsome man stood at the other end of the dance floor, watching him. Separated by the swirling dancers, the man offered Lu Yuan a faint smile, and behind the golden-rimmed glasses, his gaze held a hint of depth.
Lu Yuan inexplicably felt that the man’s demeanor seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the man in the white suit had already turned and disappeared into the bustling crowd of guests.
Seeing Lu Yuan lost in thought, Yusto thought he might be thinking about the two female attendants from the North. He directly reached out, turning Lu Yuan’s face toward him, and teasingly said, “You’re not allowed to look at those barbaric Northern zergs anymore!”
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow at the comment, realizing that Yusto might have misunderstood something, but he chose not to explain. While walking towards the landing area for the flying vehicle, he deliberately asked, “Why can’t I look? They all have good figures.”
A cornered rabbit might bite, especially a mad one like Yusto. Lu Yuan’s words acted as the spark, and as soon as he settled into the flying vehicle, Yusto pounced on him, pushing him onto the back seat. Without delay, Yusto straddled him, and by the ear, Lu Yuan heard a voice full of grievance, “Do you think my figure is not good?!”
Lu Yuan subconsciously looked up and found Yusto sitting on him with a puffed-up expression. As if to prove a point, Yusto directly grabbed his hand and reached for the military uniform collar, grumbling discontentedly, “I have everything he has.”
Lu Yuan instinctively tried to pull his hand back, furrowing his brow, and lowered his voice to remind, “Yusto, this is the palace.”
Yusto immediately activated the autopilot mode, then, in the darkness, he pounced into Lu Yuan’s arms. He undid most of the buttons on the military uniform in the dim light and softly rubbed against him, saying, “No, we’ve already left the palace.”
Lu Yuan could only lie flat, reluctantly accepting the situation. He encircled Yusto’s supple waist, fingertips roaming as he slowly traced the abdominal muscles. He thought that they were indeed not inferior to those female attendants from the North, just more delicate and graceful, “Yusto, are you jealous?”
Yusto, sprawled soft all over him, looked up at Lu Yuan with teary eyes, reflecting a layer of exquisite watery hues. “Isn’t it obvious, Your Excellency?”
Lu Yuan found it quite amusing. Upon hearing this, he chuckled softly, and with a swift motion, he flipped their positions, pressing Yusto beneath him, “Who are you jealous of? The female attendants from the North?”
Yusto wrapped his arms around Lu Yuan’s waist, burying his head to nip at Lu Yuan’s collarbone, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction in silence. He looked like a sulking child, but his genuine displeasure was apparent.
This little rabbit was genuinely feeling wronged.
Lu Yuan never expected that someone would be jealous for him in this lifetime. If this got back to his old friends, they would probably lose their teeth from laughter. After all, rogues were a disliked species; when did they become so likable?
Lu Yuan gently stroked Yusto’s face, his gaze carrying a hint of complexity. Ultimately, he decided to comfort his partner. Lightly lifting Yusto’s chin, he bent down and kissed him directly, slowly stealing the last bit of air between their lungs. Their lips and tongues were intertwined so deeply that they only reluctantly parted when their tongues began to ache, but not long after, they reconnected in another passionate kiss.
“Your Excellency… Your Excellency…”
Yusto was caught up in a whirlwind of emotions, calling out to Lu Yuan in the dimly lit surroundings. His voice was hoarse, captivating, akin to the most potent aphrodisiac.
Lu Yuan caressed his back, his deep voice muffled by the kisses, trying to comfort and console, “Yusto, be happy…”
He felt there was no need for Yusto to be angry or jealous.
“You are special to me…”
“More than any zerg could ever be…”
The passionate kiss took on an unexpected bittersweet undertone with Lu Yuan’s words. Yusto gradually halted the motion of their lips, pursing his lips as he looked at Lu Yuan in the darkness. After several moments of silent contemplation, he finally hoarsely inquired, “Is it true what you said upstairs, that you’ll never take a female attendant as your consort?”
It was evident that Yusto cared a lot about that statement. He reached out, encircling Lu Yuan’s neck, unintentionally tightening his grip. Frowning, he urgently asked in a low voice, “Is it true?”
“Your Excellency, please tell me the answer…”
Tell him whether there truly exists something in this world that can be obtained without the need for fierce struggle and bloodshed.
No more must he go into battle and fight for military achievements, as he did in the past. No more must he clash with other males to maintain his dwindling dignity, enduring the whipping and scourging. All his experiences thus far had taught Yusto that if he desired something, he had to contend for it, seize it, and pay a price equal to or even multiple times greater than the gain.
And he no longer knew what price he had to pay to obtain Lu Yuan —
The Empire’s sole male zerg with a blood purity of 100%, who would never marry a female consort.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Lu Yuan felt a slight tremor in Yusto’s body. Without saying a word, he held him tightly, speaking with an unusual seriousness, “Yusto, in my lifetime, I only need to marry one female zerg.”
Yes, one was enough.
Lu Yuan wasn’t greedy. He knew that since he arrived in this unfamiliar world, he had already gained too many honors and privileges that he had never possessed before. Regardless, he should be content.
He still didn’t see himself as a zerg,
At the same time, he was aware of what should be done and what should not be done as a human.
Yusto was stunned into silence by Lu Yuan’s words, as if he couldn’t believe what Lu Yuan had just said. He furrowed his brow and asked, “But… marrying only one female zerg, won’t you find it a pity?”
In Salaranfa, countless female zergs would gladly marry Lu Yuan. They were much more obedient and docile than Yusto, and in every aspect, they seemed much more pleasing.
Lu Yuan seemed to sigh and said in a playful tone, “If the female monarch wasn’t you, I might really find it a pity.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Yusto forcefully embraced him, and Lu Yuan heard his muffled voice near his ear, “Your female monarch is, of course, me!”
Lu Yuan responded with a hum, following up with, “It’s you.”
Yusto grunted heavily again, “How can those barbarians from the North compare to me?”
Lu Yuan continued to play along, saying, “They can’t compare.”
Yusto was finally satisfied. He cast a discreet glance at Lu Yuan, then blushed as he nestled in his arms, whispering in a secretive manner, “In the North, not only do they prioritize females, but their leaders are also very ruthless and bloodthirsty. If you go there, you’ll surely suffer.”
Lu Yuan, hearing the words “ruthless and bloodthirsty”, slowly opened his eyes, showing a curious expression. He asked, “Who? Is it Faeus? How ruthless is he?”
Yusto curled his lips slightly, whether to scare Lu Yuan or just for fun, he intentionally made a gun gesture with his hand, pointing at his heart. “He has shot countless male zergs.”
“Your Excellency, that barbarian from the North is very ruthless. He doesn’t value rare things, nor does he show reverence to gods. If a male zerg crosses his path, the outcome will be extremely miserable.”
So…
Yusto leaned over and planted a kiss on Lu Yuan’s cheek. “I am your best choice.”
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, neither confirming nor denying. Seeing that the flying vehicle had arrived at its destination, he patted Yusto on the back. “We’re here, let’s get off.”
However, a certain rabbit clung to him and refused to get up. Lu Yuan had no choice but to carry him down from the flying vehicle. It wasn’t until they reached the entrance of the apartment that he finally let go.
Lu Yuan gestured, “Open the door.”
Yusto, annoyed that Lu Yuan didn’t catch on to his mood, walked to the door lock recognizer and with a click, opened the apartment’s front door. It had been a considerable amount of time since their last visit, but the interior decorations and layout remained unchanged. Even the vibrant flowers on the table were the same as before.
Lu Yuan skillfully changed into indoor shoes and walked straight to the sofa, lazily reclining on it and stretching comfortably. After a day dressed as a gentleman in formal attire, he felt quite tired. It was more relaxing to be laid back.
Seeing this, Yusto walked over and took a seat beside him, speaking a bit awkwardly, “Your Excellency?”
Lu Yuan lifted his eyelids lazily, so comfortable that he didn’t even want to talk, “Hmm?”
It seemed like Yusto was hinting at something, “Don’t you want to do something else?”
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Like what?”
Yusto sneakily nestled into Lu Yuan’s arms, his silver hair slightly disheveled, ears and face blushing. He pointed to the light screen on his wrist, his eyes sparkling as he asked softly, “Do you want to watch adult videos with me?”
Lu Yuan: “…”
Author’s Note:
Yusto: (〃’▽’〃) His Excellency likes watching adult videos, so I must accompany him～
Lu Yuan: (▼ヘ▼#) Who! Who is spreading rumors?!
