IHNMSL Chapter 21
by Volare“You know Yao’s real identity, right?”
“I know.”
“So, who gave you the guts to seduce him into marrying you?” Daina’s voice was laced with immense anger.
“I’ve never deceived Yao,” Chen Xing explained calmly. “I’ve been honest with him about everything about myself.”
Although she knew her words weren’t very credible, Chen Xing still felt helpless being judged by Yao’s family like a bug trafficker.
In fact, Daina’s worries weren’t entirely unfounded.
Cases of Male Bug trafficking were frequently reported in the underground district, and the Lian district where Chen Xing was born was a notorious den of illegal trafficking organizations.
Most of the larvae in the underground district were descendants of criminals. Even if they were abandoned in orphanages early on and didn’t even know who their female or male parents were, for them, being born was a sin.
Even with excellent grades, the Imperial Military Academy would never accept an illegal descendant with criminal, inferior genes like him.
Daina sneered, “How long have you known each other? If you didn’t instigate and deceive him, how could Yao have thought of getting married in secret without telling his family?”
“Whatever your purpose, you better stay away from my little brother. He’s not someone you can mess with.”
…
“Didn’t brother say we were just chatting?”
Yao sat on the bench outside the door, resting his chin on his hands, listening to the crackling sounds inside. The restless little Male Bug curiously moved to the door and poked his little head in.
“What are you two doing?”
Chen Xing’s left hand was still on Daina’s shoulder, and her other hand was casually behind her back. The two Bugs looked like they were having some friendly meeting.
“It’s nothing, Yao Yao, I’m just explaining some small misunderstandings to brother.” Chen Xing glanced at Daina nonchalantly, her attitude arrogant, “Right, brother?”
Daina’s wrist was twisted backward by the Female Bug and locked tightly behind her, unable to move. No matter how much anger she had, she couldn’t show it in front of Yao.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Yao.” Daina almost gritted her teeth as she echoed the Female Bug’s words.
What was with this feeling of trying to cover something up?
“I wouldn’t know what you guys are doing in there if I didn’t think you were fighting…” Yao muttered softly, “Brother, have you finished talking yet? Come and sign the papers quickly.”
Yao felt a little strange. When did the two of them get so close behind his back?
If he dragged it on any longer, it would be dark soon. He made the excuse of a classmate reunion to sneak out. If he went back late, the butler would inevitably complain to Father Hevia.
“No, Xiao Yao, you can date him if you like him. Brother has never objected to that, but such a big thing as marriage must be discussed with your female and male parents first.”
Daina really couldn’t do anything about Yao’s willfulness, so she could only bring up Chris and the Duke to persuade him.
Chris had a domineering personality, saying one thing and meaning it. Duke Will was slightly better, but he rarely made concessions when it came to Yao’s safety.
“Waa… No! Brother, don’t tell female and male parents! If you tell on me, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Yao pretended to cry, clenching his fists and rubbing his eyes red.
The little Male Bug’s clumsy acting was effective even in front of the shrewd Hevia, let alone Daina, who didn’t have much experience.
During middle school, Chris arranged for Daina to attend the top noble schools in Central Star.
Inferior, with a low bloodline, and always exuding a gloomy and violent aura, the withdrawn and unsociable Daina had been a Male Bug repellent since childhood.
The only exception was Yao, his nominal brother, who would take the initiative to approach him, smile happily at him, and not dislike him.
Chris, who adopted him, had been in a high position for a long time. Because of the shadow of his childhood, Daina was always afraid of being abandoned, so he was always afraid of him, and therefore Daina, who had not felt the warmth of family affection, always easily had a soft spot for Yao.
“Don’t cry, Xiao Yao.” Daina hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his tears, “I’m sorry, brother was wrong.”
“Yao Yao, don’t be sad, brother was just kidding.”
“Brother, don’t tell on me, okay?”
“Okay,” Daina hesitated for a moment, “I’ll listen to Yao Yao.”
The little Male Bug revealed a triumphant smile and continued to push his luck, “Then brother, sign for me, okay?”
“Yao Yao, can you tell me why you insist on getting married? Did Chen Xing say something to you?” Daina’s expression was serious.
Yao was stunned by Daina’s question, “Of course it’s because I like her that I’m getting married.”
And… he did shameful things with the Female Bug, the little Male Bug’s cheeks turned red, biting his lip, stammering, “How can a baby not have a father?”
“What baby? When did that happen?” Daina grabbed Yao’s shoulders, her blood pressure soaring.
Yao vaguely thought that Daina was asking about the proposal, “It seems… maybe? Probably… last week…”
The little Male Bug was aggrieved: “Brother, I can’t remember.”
You can’t remember such an important thing?
Daina felt dizzy and could hardly stand. In just half an hour, she had suffered more blows than in the past twenty years combined.
“Then when was the first time you had a relationship with him?”
“It was the time I ran away from home secretly…” The little Male Bug looked pitiful. He only remembered that Chen Xing kindly took him in and took care of his allergies and fever, and then he got together with her in a daze.
Daina had never thought that Yao was the kind of person who would casually sleep with a Bug he had just met.
She didn’t expect Yao, who had always been a good boy, to be so serious about love. He slept with a Bug he liked in a daze. How long has it been since he even got a child?
Chen Xing didn’t know what method Yao used, but Daina, who had been looking at him sideways half an hour ago, suddenly changed her attitude.
“Brother figured it out?” Chen Xing was confused.
A cold snort in response was Daina’s last stubbornness.
“Brother! Can I marry Chen Xing?” The little Male Bug couldn’t wait.
“Whatever you want.” Daina felt exhausted and touched the little Male Bug’s head. Now she didn’t know how to explain it to her adoptive father.
“Young Master Daina is the future Female Consort that the Central Mind Brain matched to the Little Highness, it is a proper match. Does the Little Highness’s marrying a female attendant beforehand bother you?” Torido was surprised.
The Research Institute hoped that the Little Highness could successfully complete a deep guidance with Daina.
Under normal circumstances, Female Bugs would have an uncontrollable possessiveness towards the Male Bugs who marked them. After deep guidance, this situation would only intensify.
Torido originally thought that Yao’s persuading Daina to agree to him marrying other Bugs was a slim hope.
“Not a female attendant, Yao Yao wants to marry a Female Consort.” Daina frowned, “Lord Torido, please downgrade my authority to the position of female attendant.”
Torido was surprised. Let a Female Bug with no power, no influence, and a low birth be the Little Highness’s Female Consort, and Daina submit herself?
No matter what, Daina was the only adopted son under the name of Chris, the First General of the Bugs, whom the General personally cultivated by her side and had always placed high hopes on.
Although what the Research Institute wanted was just the result of ancestry-reverting and cross-level promotion, a top 3S battle power to serve the Empire, whether Daina was Yao’s Female Consort or female attendant was irrelevant.
He was getting more and more confused about the world of these young people. Torido sighed, how could there be anyone who would give up being a Female Consort and voluntarily step down to be a female attendant.
“Also, I hope you can keep the forced matching a secret from Xiao Yao.”
Daina pinched the little candy that Yao happily stuffed into his hand when he was happy and smiled bitterly. The little Male Bug was full of joy and looked forward to marrying the person he liked, telling him would only add to his troubles.
What was the point of a forced match, Yao didn’t like him.
Red booklet! Chen Xing!
After returning home, Yao proudly raised the newly released booklet in his hand like a treasure and showed it to the Female Bug. The newly married couple smiled harmoniously and sweetly.
Yao’s eyes were bright and his voice was clear and pleasant, “Please take care of me in the future, Female Consort.”
“Please take care of me, my dear Male Master.”
“Close your eyes, Yao Yao…”
Chen Xing took out the Star of Tia necklace that she had prepared for Yao and put it on him. The Female Bug kissed the little Male Bug’s brow.
“This is too precious, Chen Xing.”
Even Yao, who was used to seeing rare and exotic treasures, couldn’t help but look at the Female Bug in astonishment.
What came into view was a crystal clear lavender gemstone pendant, whose faint dark light was of great benefit to purifying and repairing the spiritual power of high-level Male Bugs.
Tia was the legendary star of origin in the primitive Bug Clan, and this precious violet crystal heart with special meaning was even more a symbol of the Tia Bug Clan’s royalty, and was known as the Star of Kings.
Yao didn’t know where Chen Xing got such a big crystal heart.
The Klink family, which owned the richest mineral resources in the Bug Clan, had no shortage of colorful crystal diamonds and gemstones.
However, the extinct Star of Tia was different from ordinary gemstones, and only a small amount was currently circulating secretly in the black market.
Yao knew about this because of his stepfather, Hevia.
When he was a child, in order to find a Star of Tia to nourish the Duke’s ailing body, Hevia almost turned the large and small black markets of the Bug Star upside down during that time.
“This is a wedding gift, accept it, Yao Yao.” Chen Xing held the little Male Bug’s hand that wanted to refuse.
The little Male Bug’s body was too weak, so it was better to find something to protect him so that she could feel at ease.
A gentle kiss landed on the little Male Bug’s eyes and nose all the way down, “Although I can’t give Yao Yao too much right now, I promise to do no worse than those Female Bugs your fathers found.”
The little Male Bug’s legs were fair, clean, well-proportioned, and beautiful, perfect, and felt great in her hand.
The Female Bug liked to call Yao’s name over and over again when love was strong.
Due to the influence of the wine pheromones, Yao often showed a state of being drunk and unable to recognize people, and his scarlet face became slightly indifferent and cold.
But as soon as he was a little sober, he would immediately react and hug her with a clingy kiss, his instinctive reaction was extremely cute.
“Is it comfortable? Yao Yao?”
The Female Bug paid attention to the little Male Bug’s feelings every moment, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Who are you?” Yao’s head was dizzy, staring at the tall figure in front of him, sweating profusely and unable to see his face clearly.
“I am Yao Yao’s Female Consort.”
“Then why do you want to bite me? I’m not delicious…”
Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh as she listened to the little Male Bug’s innocent words, and smoothed the little Male Bug’s sweaty soft hair, “Doesn’t Yao Yao like kissing the most?”
“Hmm… no…” The little Male Bug reacted half a beat later, “What Yao Yao likes the most is Female Consort… not kissing…”
