IHNMSL Chapter 44
by VolareThe Duke had instructed that finding His Highness Ethan was important, but the premise of all actions was to protect His Highness Yao and not allow him to suffer the slightest harm.
This lieutenant general female’s family had served the Klink family for generations. For them, being selected by the Duke to serve him was an honor for the entire family.
“Good morning, Lieutenant General Kirill.” Yao responded politely, “Has there been any progress in the investigation?”
After tossing and turning all night, the little Male Bug’s delicate face was flushed, and he seemed a little unnatural being carried out. On the other hand, the Female Bug next to him exuded a charm nourished by desire…
Untamed Bugs without education really know how to play… How can His Highness stand it! The guards understood instantly, both despising and wanting to learn.
Kirill: Sadly gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle…
He wondered if the Duke, who loved his son like his own life, knew that in a corner he couldn’t see, His Highness was being ravaged by a Female Consort from a savage background…
If Chen Xing wasn’t Yao’s Female Consort in name, the military females present would have already taken up arms and sent this hypocrite to the gallows.
Compared to other Bugs, Kirill’s rank was higher, and his senses were more acute. He could even hear how His Highness was being led into depravity step by step by the Female Bug while guarding at night, his voice broken.
Squeak, squeak…
The poor Highness was completely devoured, and the storm lasted all night.
As expected, he was naturally gifted, making those third-rate actors on the Star Network look weak.
“Yao Yao, this area is currently the largest Bug trafficking market in Black Star. According to clues, the Bug who took Ethan is very likely hiding here.”
Chen Xing’s investigation was very thorough, and with Kirill’s professional cooperation, it was even more effective.
In this lawless and unregulated zone, the native Bugs here have no respect for the laws of the Federation, and even the Male Bug Protection Association can’t control them.
Without confirming Ethan’s safety, it is not recommended to use the army to directly suppress them with force, to prevent pushing the Bug traffickers to desperate measures.
Yao wasn’t afraid of the kidnappers making demands, but he was afraid that the other party wouldn’t say anything and would tear up the ticket for his baby. Poor little Ethan encountered such a thing as soon as he hatched.
Kirill suggested that they could infiltrate the Bug trafficking market as buyers to inquire whether Ethan’s name was on any recent lists.
Chen Xing and Yao disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen who wanted to buy Male Bug cubs, while Lieutenant General Kirill led an elite squad, disguised as the wealthy businessmen’s bodyguards.
Originally, Chen Xing planned to go alone to investigate, but he couldn’t resist Yao’s begging. Rather than leaving Yao on the starship to wait, it was safer to protect his Male Bug himself and keep Yao by his side.
It wasn’t that he looked down on the soldiers Kirill brought, but Chen Xing was skeptical whether these military females could protect Yao Yao well.
A large starship with smooth lines and a silver-white body landed at the port, immediately attracting a lot of attention.
Yao and Chen Xing didn’t look like Bugs from Black Star at all, especially Yao, who was dressed luxuriously. Even if he concealed his Male Bug characteristics, his cold white skin attracted the prying eyes of many Bugs, like a lamb falling into a wolf’s den.
Chen Xing held up an umbrella for Yao to block the intense sunlight radiation, and two rows of tall, muscular Bug bodyguards cleared the way. Looking like wealthy Bugs, they approached the leader of the trafficking organization.
“So, you’re the one who wants to buy Bug cubs?”
The blond, scarred female Bug leader asked, looking at Chen Xing and his group like they were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, her eyes glowing.
“Yes.”
“I’m not bragging, but I have too many Bug cubs here. What kind do you need, how old? As long as you ask, I can find any kind.”
Chen Xing: …
She was selling Bug cubs like a supermarket clearance sale.
The female Bug continued to talk eloquently, “Look at these Bug cubs, the quality is absolutely good. What do you want to use the Bug cubs for? I guarantee to recommend the most suitable ones for you.”
Chen Xing said, “Do you have any Male Bug cubs? That’s what I want.”
Upon hearing the words “Male Bug,” the trafficking leader’s expression changed slightly, and she hesitated, “Well… I do have some, but…”
“I know, the price is not a problem!” Seeing her still hesitating, Chen Xing immediately signaled Kirill.
Bang! A heavy black combination lock box slammed onto the table, opened, and filled with stacked Star Coins.
“Hmm?” The leader had never seen anyone throw money so readily.
“I said money is not a problem, go find them for me.”
“I do have some, but let me say in advance, the cubs you can get your hands on are of relatively low grade. Don’t even think about Male Bugs of too high a grade, we are also afraid of getting into trouble.”
Thinking of the last time they double-crossed someone and her subordinate killed that Female Bug, she felt a little pity… That Male Bug cub with particularly good looks disappeared out of thin air. They searched the entire scene but couldn’t find him.
“Pay a deposit first, and I’ll show you the goods in two days after I find them,” the female Bug said greedily.
Chen Xing: “Okay.”
Yao’s heart tightened. He was certain that this female Bug had resources for Male Bug cubs in her hands.
Whether Ethan was among them or not, he couldn’t ignore it…
In Yao’s understanding, he always thought that Male Bugs could not be bought or sold. He never thought that there would be such a lawless place in the world.
Yao’s fists hardened as he listened, and Chen Xing silently put his arm around Yao’s shoulders to comfort him.
The leader looked at them hugging each other strangely, “Damn! They encountered a female-female relationship. What are female-female couples buying Male Bug cubs for? To play with them together?”
Due to the problem of pheromone repulsion, many Bugs instinctively find female-female relationships disgusting.
Kirill arranged for them to stay at the best hotel in the area. Although it was said to be the best they could find, from Kirill’s point of view, it was far from qualified.
He knew how extravagant the lives of nobles were, and His Highness must have never suffered like this.
The streets were dirty and smelly, with dilapidated buildings everywhere, and the Bugs coming and going looked fierce and like desperate criminals.
Yao sighed deeply, wondering where his baby was suffering.
…
“Bastard! Let go, I told you to let go, did you hear me!”
Bang! Violent blows with fists.
… Uh… Mixed with muffled groans.
Yao was about to have a meal with Chen Xing when he frowned, disturbed by the noise outside.
“What’s going on?” Yao asked.
Kirill immediately replied, “Two Female Bugs are fighting each other over something.”
In reality, it was an adult, lame Female Bug beating up a Bug cub.
However, in the Bug world, it was the law of the jungle, and there was no sense of shame in bullying the weak. Fighting only depended on strength. Kirill was right to say they were fighting each other.
The big Bug cub was beaten with blood all over his face, but he refused to let go of what he was holding.
“I’ll go drive them away.” Seeing that it was affecting His Highness’s dining experience, Kirill was very displeased.
“Wait?” Yao heard a tender cry of pain, which was obviously from a child.
The two Bugs who were fighting were currently struggling, and the Bug cub was bleeding from a broken head and covered in blood.
The lame Bug didn’t gain any advantage either. The Bug cub bit his neck desperately, biting the position of the fragile glands. The lame Bug tried to kick the Bug cub in the stomach, but he couldn’t get him to let go.
Yao was in a bad mood.
“Quick, separate them.”
The lame Bug was an adult Bug after all, with a strong recovery ability and great strength, so the Bug cub was not lightly injured.
In this mixed place, one shouldn’t interfere with other people’s business, but no normal Bug could bear to watch such a small child being beaten to death and remain indifferent.
The Bug cub’s face was pale, with an unrelenting vigor.
A worthless life was all he had.
Without saying a word, Chen Xing bound the lame Bug’s wrist, and the Female Bug’s face instantly twisted, and a crisp sound came from the breaking bones.
“Ah… It hurts, it hurts…”
The lame Bug screamed incessantly. He was just a bully who was afraid of the strong. He immediately surrendered in a sensible way and begged for mercy: “Big brother, let’s talk it over.”
Although he didn’t know where he had offended this great Buddha, there was no law in Black Star that governed Bug fights. If people wanted to hit you, they would hit you, did they need a reason?
Yao went to see the little Bug cub lying on the ground, taking more breaths than exhales. Didn’t the Bugs here have basic morality? How could they beat such a small child!
Among the elite squad that Kirill brought, there was a medical Bug, originally prepared for Yao, but now it came in handy.
The medical Bug cleaned the wound for the little Bug cub. By the time he woke up, it was completely dark.
Yao saw the little Bug cub move his eyelids. In his hand, he was still clutching the old cloth bag tightly. He risked his life with an adult Bug for this?
Perhaps thinking of Ethan, who was lost on Black Star, Yao felt sorry for him.
“Ugh…” The Bug cub was stuck in the soft quilt, scrambling up in a panic, his eyes filled with vigilance and anxiety.
Like a little hedgehog running wildly, he bumped into Yao sitting by the bed.
Chen Xing’s expression turned cold. He put his palm against the Bug cub’s head and pushed him back, sternly saying, “What are you doing?”
The little Bug cub was frightened and hugged his head, biting his lips tightly, and he dared not speak. In that instant, he felt the killing intent from the Female Bug.
“Don’t be afraid… we won’t hurt you.”
A gentle and beautiful face appeared in front of the little Bug cub. Yao’s eyes were clear, and he touched the little Bug cub’s head. The prickly short hair was a bit rough.
“Do you have any Bugs at home? It’s late now, should I have someone take you home?”
––He met a beautiful angel.
The little Bug cub was stunned, his round eyes widening, his mouth unable to close…
“Well, what’s your name? Why don’t you talk?”
The handsome older brother was talking to him…
The Bug cub rubbed his eyes. Huh?! It didn’t disappear. He was sure it wasn’t a hallucination caused by his brain being damaged.
“Brother… my name is Xiao Wen…” the little Bug cub stammered, staring at Yao with his big eyes, afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
What a good Bug cub, how could any Bug be so insane as to bully such a good cub.
Too pitiful. Yao looked at the little Bug cub’s small body, which was covered in wounds. There wasn’t a single piece of good skin.
Black Star didn’t have any proper children’s welfare institutions. Adult Bugs were already living hard enough, let alone such small cubs.
Xiao Wen, that is, the little Bug cub, grew up in an environment like Black Star, so he was quite precocious and knew how to observe people’s expressions.
A five- or six-year-old child, coaxed and hugged by Yao, and his strong outer shell instantly collapsed.
From Xiao Wen’s mouth, Yao finally learned about the situation in this poor child’s family. His male parent had died early, and there were two little younger siblings at home waiting to be fed.
Today was the day Xiao Wen received his wages. Last month, he got up early and worked late for a month as a child laborer. As a result, his wages were all taken by his lame distant uncle, causing him and his siblings to almost starve to death. They could only steal things everywhere to survive.
After finally making it to the end of this month, he had deliberately avoided his uncle and asked the foreman for his wages, but he didn’t expect to be discovered.
The lame Bug not only robbed him of his money, but also framed Xiao Wen for stealing his money.
It was outrageous. Yao was furious after hearing this and regretted not letting Chen Xing teach that Bug a lesson.
“Don’t be angry, Yao Yao.”
Chen Xing hugged his soft-hearted, easily angered little cat and kissed him. It was getting cold~ That stinky Bug would not see the sun tomorrow.
