45: Chapter 45 The Tragic Female Insect's Nobleman 7

Lu Zhan turned his head to look at the busy figure in the kitchen, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression. Having experienced two worlds, he was no longer the naive straight man he once was.

Through the time they had spent together, he could easily perceive the intense, indescribable emotions in Mervyn's heart.

But it was a pity; he had come for the Male Protagonist Bo Yisi, and it was destined that there would be no result between them.

Lu Zhan withdrew his gaze and let it fall back onto his book. He composed all his emotions and returned to that cold, noble appearance!

Afterwards, he and Mervyn continued to get along this way. Mervyn went out to work every day, covering all expenses, while he stayed in the room.

Time passed peacefully like this, and slowly, Lu Zhan seemed to get used to it.

As long as he didn't go out or open his optical computer, aside from the fact that the living quarters were a bit dilapidated and the food wasn't as refined as before, being carefully taken care of by Mervyn, it seemed there was no difference from before.

But Lu Zhan knew clearly in his heart that the difference was huge. He had now become a parasite unable to leave Mervyn, a useless insect with no utility at all. He hoped that these days would end soon!

Perhaps at some moment, deep in his heart, there was still a faint voice. "Bo Yisi, come back quickly, pull me up, don't give up on me!"

...

Today was already the twentieth day that the incident involving the Male Zerg Nashiu on the starnet had been fermenting, and the Empire had finally received a reply from Marshal Bo Yisi.

Inside the magnificent palace, The Bug Emperor of the Empire sat upright on the high throne.

After listening to the report from the Military Zerg of the Information and Data Department, he pondered slightly before speaking to Vella, who was standing to the side.

"Vella, you should have heard it clearly; the matter is handed over to you to handle. As for the arrangements for Marshal Bo Yisi's return, you shall be fully responsible for it."

Standing below, the Male Zerg, dressed in a purple-gold robe with a delicate face, looked at The Bug Emperor on the high throne with respect in his eyes.

"Father, rest assured, I will handle everything well."

The Bug Emperor looked at the offspring standing below, a hint of gratification in his eyes. He had many female offspring, but only two Male Zerg offspring. Compared to his elder brother, Vella resembled him more, so naturally, he was a bit more doted upon.

"Vella, Father saw your bold words on the starnet. As for whether you can marry Marshal Bo Yisi as your female consort, Father will wait and see."

Vella smiled embarrassedly upon hearing this.

"Father, I will definitely do it. Moreover, I don't believe anyone else is worthy of Marshal Bo Yisi besides me, nor does anyone really dare to compete with me."

The Bug Emperor looked at the confident offspring, more smiles appearing in his eyes. Given Bo Yisi's current ability, status, and prestige, he naturally hoped that Bo Yisi could be completely tied to the royal family.

"Vella, you have always been my favorite. Plus, your brother already has a female consort. If you can make Bo Yisi your female consort, Father will appoint you as the next heir to The Bug Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Vella was so excited that he almost couldn't maintain his facial expression. But he still asked in disbelief.

"Father, are you serious?"

The Bug Emperor, whose hair was mixed with a little gray, did not speak. He looked at Vella seriously with his golden eyes and nodded.

Then he waved his hand to signal Vella to withdraw.

Vella was still in shock even after walking out of the hall. For these years, Father had been slow to select an heir, and suddenly, the thing he had been longing for for years was placed right in front of him.

"It seems I must take down Bo Yisi, whether it's for military power or the position of heir."

Vella muttered to himself.

By the way, I almost forgot. Listening to the message Bo Yisi sent back in the hall just now, he wants to handle it personally and won't let others interfere. It seems the people sent to investigate were mistaken.

Vella frowned. Bo Yisi's attitude didn't look like he hated his former male partner; could it be that he was still thinking about that Male Zerg who was expelled by the Carlisle Family?

If that was really the case, he couldn't help but fan the flames and cut things off completely.

Otherwise, how could a Military Zerg who had been divorced and was still entangled with his former male partner be worthy of being his female consort? And if he pursued such a Military Zerg, where would he, the royal heir, put his face?

Vella walked straight towards the office building of the Information and Data Department.

...

This afternoon, the long-dormant official Empire account pinned a statement, and it had just been posted.

The Empire: "Regarding the matter that everyone has been paying attention to recently, the Empire has personally inquired with Marshal Bo Yisi in detail. Marshal Bo Yisi's meaning is: This is his personal private matter, and he will return to handle it himself. Please do not pay too much attention or interfere in it. It is all just some unpleasant past events. As for the Male Zerg Nashiu, Marshal Bo Yisi is benevolent, and the Empire can only hope he behaves himself."

This statement was exactly at Vella's instigation. He did not change Bo Yisi's words, but quietly added a few ambiguous sentences. He did not judge Nashiu guilty, but did not deny it either.

The Zerg citizens, who were already convinced and indignant, naturally became even more convinced that everything they speculated was correct.

Thus, a few words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it was enough to make the Male Zerg Nashiu, standing on the edge of a cliff, fall and be smashed to pieces.

And now the starnet, just as Vella had expected, was like a pot that had exploded, already boiling over again.

"Look, I wasn't wrong. Everything is true, it's officially confirmed."

"How could Marshal Bo Yisi encounter such a vicious and dark Male Zerg? My heart aches."

"It's fortunate that Marshal Bo Yisi escaped and successfully divorced him."

"Looking at the photos, one would never imagine that such a handsome Male Zerg could have such an ugly heart."

"You don't understand that. This is called 'gold on the outside, rotten on the inside'; he's actually just a disgusting scum insect."

"It is true that one cannot judge an insect by its appearance. Everyone must keep their eyes open when looking for a male partner."

"Marshal Bo Yisi is really too tolerant to not pursue this even after being treated like that."

"What is there to discuss about such trash insects? Why don't we all chat about which His Highness is the best match for Marshal Bo Yisi?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's His Highness Vella, exquisite, good-looking, with a good reputation, and he's also a royal heir."

...

Under the bright red statement, there were too many comments like this; they were densely packed and countless, and they were still increasing at a rate of dozens per minute.

In a luxurious palace, Vella lay lazily on the sofa, looking at the comments on the starnet with great interest, verifying his results.

It could basically be foreseen that after this day, the Male Zerg Nashiu, who didn't even have a surname, along with his cold and handsome face, would be completely nailed to the Empire's pillar of shame, reviled by all Zerg citizens, as if it would be difficult for him to ever make a comeback.

Bo Yisi, regardless of whether you are unable to forget old feelings or are just too benevolent to care, right now, this former male partner is probably hating you.

And one side is a notorious, penniless Male Zerg, while the other is a noble royal heir; you should know how to choose.

Vella's muttering echoed in the palace.

"Bo Yisi, I look forward to the day you return and become my female consort."

Then he picked up the red wine on the table with his right hand and drank it in one gulp, as if he were already celebrating in advance the military power and the position of the next heir to The Bug Emperor that he was about to obtain.
