[Mission “Release the Empress Consort” completed, Scumbag Points -10]

[Current Scumbag Points: 80]

[Streamer, please keep up the good work, complete more missions, and reduce your Scumbag Points.]

“Complete more missions,” he understood. “Nourish the female Zerg, nurture the Zerg egg, of course.”

Mu Si pursed his lips, trying to suppress a smile and maintain a dignified demeanor. He scrutinized Ax, feigning disgust. “You’re filthy. You need a good wash.”

Ax wasn’t actually dirty. The Zerg have strong absorption capabilities, and Ax had consumed high-end nutrient solutions for months, producing no waste that needed to be excreted. He was clean, not even a drop of sweat. The only thing that could be considered “dirty” was the dried blood on his clothes.

Half of that blood was from when Ax’s wings were ripped off. The other half was from Mu Si. At that time, Mu Si had just finished his physiological awakening and was still buried in the female Zerg’s body, wanting to change positions and continue sleeping. The female Zerg awoke from his stupor, the drug’s effects fading, his eyes clearing from their daze. Then, with one claw, he nearly took Mu Si’s life.

Fortunately, the Zerg’s vitality is strong. Even relatively frail male Zerg possess powerful self-healing abilities, which allowed Mu Si to survive until he entered the medical pod and didn’t die. Otherwise, Ax would have already been executed by the Supreme Court. The Zerg egg in Ax’s abdomen surviving three months before entering dormancy might have even been partly due to Mu Si’s blood, as Zerg blood contains a high concentration of pheromones.

Considering this, Ax should thank him. Of course, Mu Si didn’t need that kind of thanks. He only needed Ax to prostrate himself before him, letting Mu Si torment him, letting Mu Si hurt him.

Three months had passed, and the bloodstains on the clothes had oxidized and darkened, not very noticeable on the black fabric. But they were truly there, just like some injuries, once inflicted, can never be undone.

The faint scent of blood was caught by his nose, and Mu Si’s heart pounded. Perhaps it was because Ax had almost disemboweled him that day, in the literal sense. Even knowing that Ax couldn’t harm him because of the egg, his body still tensed when the other approached. His heart pounded wildly, out of control.

“You’re filthy. Go wash up in the room next to the punishment chamber, hurry.” Mu Si pushed Ax, driving him away.

Ax walked out obediently, pausing at the door of the punishment chamber and looking back at Mu Si.

Mu Si put down the hand he was about to cover his heart with and glared at him. “What? Regretting it? I’m telling you, it’s too late to regret it now. Tonight you…”

Seeing that the Imperial Prince was very aggressive and energetic, showing no signs of trouble, Ax didn’t linger and turned to leave.

Mu Si, through his spiritual perception, “saw” Ax enter the next room and tilted his head in confusion. He didn’t care. Anyway, the female Zerg didn’t seem to be resisting or trying to escape. He should focus on how to torment Ax later.

Thinking about being able to bully and torment Ax as he pleased, Mu Si became excited. Back then, he had merely taken advantage of Ax’s unconsciousness to do “this and that,” and Ax had given him a “disemboweling gift.” Now, Ax had to yield to him for the sake of the egg. This was a perfect opportunity, and he naturally wanted to get double the revenge.

But how should he get revenge? Mu Si couldn’t think of any good methods for a while, so he decided to look for inspiration on the StarNet. He opened his terminal and started searching:

“What female Zerg fear most…”

“The most cruel…”

“Even the toughest military female Zerg can’t stand…”

“…making female Zerg cry and beg for mercy.”

“Wow, everyone knows so much, they’re all so amazing.”

When Mu Si returned from his journey through the sea of knowledge, he saw the bullet comments flying across the live stream screen. What happened?

[Are you kidding me? The mission is for you to reform and repent, not to use it as an excuse to oppress the victim!]

[What is the streamer searching for? Why are there so many censored boxes?]

[I know this. To ensure the viewers’ experience, overly bloody and violent content will be censored. The streamer obviously wants to continue tormenting the empress consort!]

[Too much!]

[This streamer shows no sign of changing. Where’s the system? Can’t it do anything?]

[Don’t count on that broken system. The livestream system’s intelligence level is about the same as a retard’s.]

[Then what should we do? Let the general continue to be tormented by the streamer for the sake of the egg? What kind of reform is this?]

Mu Si looked innocent. “How is it not reform? Wasn’t the mission ‘release the empress consort’? I did that, didn’t I?”

Since the system had already judged him to have completed the mission and his Scumbag Points had decreased by 10, the audience’s attitude was not within Mu Si’s consideration. Coincidentally, his recent search also confirmed something: certain content would be automatically censored by the live stream. He didn’t have to worry about being watched by extraterrestrial viewers during his private Zerg life. He could wantonly do “this and that” to Ax, over and over again.

There were also some relatively friendly bullet comments advising Mu Si to seriously reform, genuinely repent, and be a good Zerg. They stated that doing the mission this way would only work temporarily and that he couldn’t pass the entire reform. Mu Si thanked them for their reminder, but repenting was out of the question. He never believed he had done anything wrong. Even if a Zerg had to repent for this, it would definitely not be him.

Dismissing the boring bullet comments, Mu Si walked towards the next room, his steps light. It was still more interesting to bully Ax.

Pushing open the familiar door, Mu Si was startled by the female Zerg kneeling behind it. “Why are you standing here…”

Seeing the female Zerg’s appearance, Mu Si’s voice abruptly died. He! Was! Naked!

Oh, not entirely naked. He was wrapped in a bath towel, barely covering his important parts. Mu Si immediately turned to check the live stream screen. The broadcast area had turned black, with only question marks constantly floating in the bullet comments. Mu Si breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the female Zerg again, quickly scanning downwards.

The bath towel was loose, and he was very worried that with a slight movement from the female Zerg, that last bit of covering would fall off. Perhaps that was what the female Zerg wanted. Mu Si evaluated in his mind: “Too direct an allurement, seen through at a glance, too low-tier.” Hook straight, bait salty—how could such a clumsy method catch a male Zerg?

Mu Si grumbled internally, slowly taking off his coat and throwing it onto the hanger nearby, then raising a hand to loosen his collar. It was so hot. Had the room’s constant temperature system broken? What was the secret code to change the temperature setting?

Mu Si’s eyes darted around, his gaze wandering, and then, without realizing it, always landing on the female Zerg on the floor. The female Zerg had just showered but hadn’t meticulously styled himself. Water vapor misted his semi-dry hair. A drop of water dripped from the tip of a strand of hair, sliding down his muscle lines and disappearing into the depths of the bath towel.

Mu Si felt inexplicably parched. It must have been because he drank too little water today. Would it be inappropriate to take out a cup of water from his spatial bracelet and drink it now?

Ax waited for a long time, but the male Zerg made no move, feeling a little anxious, so he took the initiative to speak: “Your Highness, how do you wish to use me?”

Mu Si gave up on drinking water; the dripping wet female Zerg was more delicious than water. He lightly kicked Ax’s knee with the tip of his shoe, his chin slightly raised, and said, “Since you like kneeling so much, go kneel on the bed.”

Ax quietly exhaled and calmly stood up. He wasn’t afraid of being tormented by the male Zerg; he was only afraid that the male Zerg wouldn’t torment him, wouldn’t give him pheromones.

The room wasn’t big, and the bed was also the size of a regular single Zerg bed; the activity space was very small. Ax didn’t have many thoughts. For a female Zerg like him, who had thoroughly offended the male Zerg, being able to have a decent room and bed was already very rare.

The female Zerg knelt down on the bed. Mu Si came up behind Ax, clearly seeing the two faint scars on the female Zerg’s shoulder blades. He paused, then quickly averted his gaze. He reached out and lightly poked the female Zerg’s spine with his fingertip, saying, “I heard that military female Zerg have strong endurance. Can you maintain this posture all night?”

“Yes.” Ax’s tone was firm; he didn’t think this was difficult. He had knelt in the punishment chamber for three months. Compared to the hard, cold floor of the punishment chamber, kneeling on a bed with a soft mattress was much easier.

Mu Si raised the corner of his mouth and continued, “No matter what I do, you can’t fall down.”

“Please rest assured, Your Highness.” Ax knew the Imperial Prince wouldn’t let him off easy, but he trusted his pain tolerance. However, Ax hadn’t expected that what the male Zerg inflicted upon him was an experience entirely unrelated to pain. This was much harder to endure than pain.

The small room was filled with the sweet scent of flowers and fruit wood, which was the Imperial Prince’s pheromone. The Imperial Prince was arrogant and malicious, but his pheromones were excessively sweet. It made one think of soft, delicious cupcakes, or sweet, fruit-filled soft candies. These were exquisite foods that commoner female Zerg born in chaotic regions like the Dark Star Domain could hardly access. Even though he had left the Dark Star Domain, joined the army, accumulated military merits, and became a general, those exquisite pastries still didn’t suit a cold, stern female Zerg like him.

A body that had lacked male Zerg pheromones was fully nourished overnight. The accumulated fatigue from three months in the punishment chamber surged up. Ax ultimately couldn’t hold on until dawn and collapsed onto the soft mattress just before daybreak.

Ax slept very deeply. Even when Mu Si poked his face and used a strand of his hair to brush his face and neck, he couldn’t be woken up. A single Zerg bed was a bit cramped for two adult Zerg. Mu Si entertained himself for a while, but still left the room before Ax woke up, finding a room with a comfortable large bed to catch up on sleep.

The reason for leaving was partly because the single Zerg bed was cramped. More importantly, Ax’s claw that pierced his chest after his physiological awakening had left Mu Si with psychological trauma. If Ax woke up and changed his expression, then gave him another such claw, his recovering body wouldn’t be able to handle it. It was better to stay far away.

He slept until the afternoon. Mu Si woke up groggily, rubbed his eyes, and sat up in bed. His slightly messy platinum long hair was scattered down, covering the smooth skin at the crooked collar of his pajamas. The live stream screen still floated beside him, visible with a glance.

[Scumbag Points -1]

[Current Scumbag Points: 79]

“Why did it only decrease by so little?” Mu Si grumbled. He had worked hard all night!

[Nourishing the Zerg egg is a long-term mission. The egg hasn’t revived yet, so it’s good that it decreased by a little.]

[What did the streamer do last night? It was black screen all night.]

[You finally woke up. Do you know how we spent this day? First, we watched a black screen all night, then we watched you sleep from morning till afternoon.]

[Although the sleeping face is also very handsome (weakly).]

[What happened last night? Is the empress consort okay? You didn’t abuse him again, did you?]

“How could I? Am I that kind of Zerg?” Mu Si recalled the joy of tormenting Ax, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Ax probably really thought he disliked female Zerg taking the initiative, and coupled with having to maintain his posture without falling, he always suppressed himself, refusing to give feedback. But Mu Si just liked Ax’s desperate attempts to endure and control himself, yet being unable to control his body’s reactions. Ax probably still thought he controlled himself well.

In reality, he had many interesting small reactions. When Mu Si clasped the female Zerg’s waist, the female Zerg’s abdominal muscles would quickly contract, accompanied by subtle trembling; he would shake with a mere touch. When Mu Si leaned on the female Zerg’s shoulder to speak, the female Zerg would unconsciously hold his breath, his eyelashes trembling uneasily. And many, many more. Mu Si just liked forcing him to reveal uncontrolled reactions. He just liked bullying him.

Ax was bullied more miserably, the more pitiful he became, the happier Mu Si was.

Mu Si, in a pleasant mood, changed his clothes and went to the dining room. After a night of torment and half a day of sleep, he was a little hungry. Just as he sat down at the dining table, preparing to order, a new mission popped up on the screen.

[Triggered guidance mission: Provide the empress consort with pregnant female Zerg nutritious meals]

[Please complete the mission immediately to reduce Scumbag Points]

“…Pregnant female Zerg nutritious meals?” Mu Si murmured. The virtual menu on his terminal immediately changed, displaying dozens of suitable nutritious meals for pregnant female Zerg, as well as a custom nutritious meal function. Mu Si casually ordered one, rang the bell to summon the butler, and asked, “What is Ax doing?”

“After you left, General Ax has remained in your former room and has not left. When the robotic cleaning drone went in at noon, the General requested a common nutrient solution from it.” The small room next to the punishment chamber was Mu Si’s old room; he had lived there for several years. Imperial Prince Mu Si owned a grand Imperial Prince’s Mansion, but as a young Zerg, he only liked to sleep in the small room located underground, which made him feel more secure.

“He wouldn’t have thought that room was his, would he?” Mu Si muttered to himself, then told the butler to call Ax for dinner. “Oh, and send him some clothes.” He couldn’t just come over in a bath towel.

Ax had lost his terminal and spatial bracelet when he was imprisoned in the punishment chamber. Besides the blood-stained clothes, he had no personal belongings. Mu Si remembered what happened last night. Ax was kneeling on the ground, only wrapped in a bath towel. The female Zerg might not have been trying to entice him, but rather had no change of clothes.

Oh, what a poor female Zerg. Mu Si wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, and had no intention of returning the terminal and spatial bracelet to Ax.
