Hawke had a bad feeling and quickly went forward to ring the doorbell. He heard that several generals from the military were coming to visit Phaeth today. Could there be a dispute? !
"jingle!"
"jingle!"
Although the doorbell rang out hastily, it broke the stalemate. Everyone looked towards the door subconsciously, wondering who would come at this time. In the end, Phaeth stood up, kicked away the broken vase at his feet, walked over and opened the door.
Faus originally thought it was the doctor who delivered the blood test report to Agu, but when he opened the door, he found it was Hawke. He couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you here?"
Hawke glanced inside inconspicuously, only to see Admiral Weather and the others sitting on the sofa with grim expressions on their faces. The floor was covered with shards of broken glass. He thought that a fight had probably taken place just now, and secretly hated himself for picking such an unlucky day to come. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chief, I'm here to deliver the test report. The blood purity test result of that gentleman has come out."
Hawke used to call Xu Cenfeng "that star pirate" or "that male insect", but he suddenly changed to "Your Excellency", which inevitably sounded a little strange.
Phaeth frowned: "Which sir?"
Hawke's voice suddenly became excited when he heard this: "Chief, of course it's His Excellency Xu Cenfeng!"
He held a paper blood test report in his hand. He rushed to Phaeth and took a closer look. His fingertips were shaking with nervousness. He held the report in front of him like a treasure and urged him anxiously, "Chief! Look!"
When Phaeth heard that it was Xu Cenfeng's blood test report, he was stunned for a moment. He reacted and immediately took the report from Hawke's hand, but saw that the data column at the bottom clearly read 100%. His face suddenly changed.
The Insect God finally opened his eyes!!!
The generals present were probably thinking the same thing as Phaes, with excited expressions on their faces, but due to Xu Cenfeng's identity they were unable to speak directly.
That's right, as the leader, why should he admit his mistakes to a bunch of untouchables whose brains are filled with worm shit
Admiral Weather obviously knew that this method was only a temporary solution. "But those female insects have been making trouble at the entrance of the military department and have refused to disperse. If we use force to suppress them, it will only arouse their anger and resistance. We can't kill them all."
But Phaes is a rebellious person and will never admit his mistakes, so I'm afraid the whole thing will end in a bad mood.
Most of these generals in the military have old-fashioned and stubborn tempers. They came to the door today just to put pressure on Phaeth to apologize to the outside world, and then appease the angry and out-of-control civilian female insects in the slums.
Xu Cenfeng didn't care and continued with his words: "This matter is indeed inappropriate for the leader. After all, Horsburg male insects are rare and it is easy to cause controversy, but..."
Admiral Weather was the first to step forward and snatched the paper report from Phaeth's hand. After he had read the data on it, he looked at Hawke in shock and amazement: "Who on earth is this male insect?!"
Hawke swallowed hard and raised his hand cautiously, pointing behind him: "That sir—"
Phaeth had been listening quietly with his eyes closed, but he suddenly opened them upon hearing the words. A dangerous gleam flashed across his dark green pupils, and he could hardly hide his anger:
Damn it, what bullshit is Xu Cenfeng talking about? Didn't he just say that there was no need to apologize? Why did he change his mind now? !
Xu Cenfeng walked down from the second floor, the shadow behind him dissipated, and his appearance was exposed under the light. The northern generals present were all shocked when they saw this, and couldn't help but think of the pure-blooded male insect that first appeared in the west. It seemed that he also had black hair and black eyes
Faus didn't expect Xu Cenfeng to come downstairs suddenly. He frowned and extinguished the cigarette that was about to burn out on his fingertips. He strode in front of Xu Cenfeng and blocked the chaotic sight behind him: "Who told you to come down? Go back quickly!"
"Since they keep saying that they are fighting for Lord Hill, why don't we have the leader post a notice to the public? As long as the troublesome female insects are willing to leave from the military department, they will be given a chance to visit Lord Hill in the hospital, and they will also be given the privilege of a blind date with other male insects in Horsburg as compensation. Whether the marriage is successful or not is up to them, and the military department is only responsible for matchmaking."
Upon hearing this, Faus's face changed from gloomy to bright, and he unconsciously clenched the report in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. However, most female insects have sharp hearing, and Hawke did not deliberately lower his voice just now, so Admiral Weather, who was sitting on the sofa, heard a lot of the content and stood up from the sofa in shock.
The environment in the west is much richer than that in the north. Only two pure-blooded male insects have appeared. Hill's blood purity of more than 50 has been praised to the sky. Now a 100% pure blood insect suddenly appears. You can imagine how much of a shock it will cause.
Xu Cenfeng had not originally planned to show up, but when he heard Phaeth firing a gun, he was worried that the situation would get out of hand, so he came out anyway.
Xu Cenfeng uttered two words: "Apologize."
Xu Cenfeng shook his head: "Of course we can't kill them, they are the people of the northern territory."
Phaethon stood aside, raised his eyelids when he heard the words, and his dark complexion finally looked a little better.
Admiral Weather seemed disappointed: "Sir, it seems that your approach is no different from ours."
Xu Cenfeng smiled and said, "Sorry, I just overheard your conversation upstairs. I hope you don't mind."
Xu Cenfeng suddenly asked, "I heard that the female insects in the slums are protesting outside the military headquarters because of Mr. Hill's incident. Is that true?"
His way of speaking was obviously gentler than Phaeth's, and more acceptable to the insects: "The leader will have to rule the entire north in the future. If you publicly apologize just because a group of female insects gathered to cause trouble in the military, it will inevitably lose your prestige. If Horsburgh implements new policies and decrees in the future, and there are rebels who follow suit, will the leader still have to bow his head and apologize?"
After saying this, Phaeth grabbed Xu Cenfeng's arm and wanted to take him back to the room. However, Xu Cenfeng did not move and held down Phaeth's hand: "I don't want to go back now."
One of the generals was outspoken and said indignantly, "That group of untouchables clearly wanted to rebel! Lord Hill is the male insect with the purest blood in our north. Even if he hadn't been shot dead by the leader, it would never be their turn to mate in this lifetime. Those guys are simply bored and have nothing to do! The leader was too impulsive at the time. Why did he offend those crazy people in the slums!"
Hawke was so excited that he couldn't even speak. "Chief! 100%! 100% blood purity! We finally have a pure-blooded male insect in the north! We don't have to envy those guys in the west anymore!"
Admiral Weather asked, "But what?"
Xu Cenfeng paused, then suddenly changed the subject: "However, whether in the west or the north, reproduction comes first. When Lord Hill whipped Hate, he lost an egg. That egg could even be an unborn male insect cub. If the leader does not punish him severely, if the male insects in Horsburg follow suit, wouldn't that affect the reproduction rate even more?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Xu Cenfeng's blood seemed to be 100% pure, and Hill could only rank second at best. He covered his mouth in embarrassment and kept silent.
Admiral Weather frowned and looked at Xu Cenfeng. He felt that those words were not spoken by a brainless male insect. He was full of doubts and asked for the first time: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
Admiral Weather was somewhat puzzled, but he nodded politely and said, "Your Excellency."
The tone is gentle and polite.
Upon hearing this, Phaeth narrowed his eyes coldly, thinking that this male insect was really rebellious. Did they discuss this today? Why did they come to him one by one to rebel? !
Xu Cenfeng could tell that Phaeth was angry. He shook his head calmly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay, nothing will happen. I just said a few words."
After he finished speaking, he gently broke free from Phaeth's hand, looked around inconspicuously, and finally set his eyes on Admiral Weather, who had the highest military rank, and walked straight over to him: "Admiral Weather."
Following the direction of his finger, everyone subconsciously turned around and looked towards the second floor, only to see a slender figure appear at the stairs, with black hair, black eyes, and fair skin. It was the western male insect that the big leader had won from the ring.
To kill someone, one must destroy the heart; to strike the snake at its most vulnerable part, the method proposed by Xu Cenfeng seems gentle and harmless, without any killing power, but in fact it is extremely heart-breaking.
Hearing this, Xu Cenfeng turned around and looked at the rare bright sunlight outside the window. He squinted his eyes because of the sunlight and said meaningfully, "There are different ways to apologize, and there are different people to apologize to. No matter what, the leader cannot bow to Hill and those troublesome female insects."
It’s really 100%?!
Although Phaeth had guessed since the day he was marked that Xu Cenfeng's blood purity was definitely more than 35%, and that the probability was extremely high, he was still shocked for a moment when he actually saw the report.
Those old guys in the military are as treacherous as each other. The civilians outside are making a big fuss over Hill, and at this moment the purity of Xu Cenfeng's blood is exposed. It goes without saying that they will push Xu Cenfeng out to block the bullets and attract attention.
"What did you say? A pure-blooded male insect?!"
Admiral Weather didn't care about this. Horsburg's male insects were already as absurd as Hill's. What was the big deal about eavesdropping on a conversation? What's more, Xu Cenfeng's blood was 100% pure: "No problem, sir."
Admiral Weather didn't know Xu Cenfeng. He didn't expect that there would be a male insect hiding in Phaeth's house. His tone was even more surprised: "Who is he?!"
Hill is now lying in the hospital half-dead, receiving treatment, and his lower body injuries are worsening. He is in excruciating pain. It is said that he curses and swears every day, smashes bowls and vases, and several nurses who are responsible for taking care of him have been beaten and injured.
Those female insects making trouble outside are no different from the fanatical fans of later generations who chase stars. They create a false and beautiful image of their idols in their minds and become intoxicated by it.
The class system of Horsburg has created an insurmountable gap between the ordinary poor and the nobles, destined that those female insects will never be able to come into contact with the real Hill. Now Xu Cenfeng wants to break through that false filter and let them see with their own eyes what the "public lover" they are pursuing looks like.
Vicious, violent, cruel, ugly...
Can Hill, who has lost the aura of the highest blood purity, really still arouse their sympathy and love
After meeting Hill, will the female insects really continue to protest when they go on blind dates with other mild-tempered male insects
No, definitely not...
After this announcement is released, only the following results will occur: Hill, who is recovering in the hospital, is annoyed and collapsed by the female insects who come to visit him one after another; those stupid and ignorant female insects will be shocked and disappointed because their filters are broken. They all get their respective punishments, and Phaeth does not have to admit his mistakes. It is really perfect.
After hearing what he said, Phaes figured it out after a moment's thought. He looked at Xu Cenfeng in doubt, only to see him standing in the light and shadow in front of the window, with his eyes slightly lowered. His jade-like profile was outlined with a golden edge, and he still looked clean and clear, even three points inferior to the snow outside.
The other generals all showed joy on their faces, discussed in low voices, and immediately made a decision: "Let's do it! Those untouchables are making trouble outside just because they are crazy about male insects. Now give them a chance to have a blind date. I don't believe they won't be tempted!"
Admiral Weather pondered for a moment and couldn't help but admire: "It is indeed a good idea, but I am afraid that Mr. Hill will not cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Phaeth raised his eyebrows coldly, thinking that this was nothing. He folded his arms and leaned against the corner of the table. Because of his sturdy figure, his shirt sleeves were tightened for a moment. "It's good that he doesn't cooperate. Let those blind female insects see what the shit they are chasing after all day looks like."
A general followed suit and flattered him, not knowing that his words actually hit the horse's leg: "Chief, what you said makes sense. The purity of His Excellency Cen Feng's blood is 100%. I believe that once the news gets out, no female insects will pursue Hill anymore!" But they will all come to pursue Xu Cen Feng!
Phaeth cursed viciously in his heart. Now that he had finally solved the problem of the female insects causing trouble, his mood not only did not improve, but became even worse.
Perhaps those generals sensed the low pressure around Phaeth, and they all tactfully withdrew, leaving only Admiral Weather to stay until the end.
He was Phaeth's uncle, so there were some things he couldn't say publicly, so he could only advise him in private. He said in a serious tone, "Chief, although Hill is indeed guilty of a heinous crime, next time if there are male insects that violate the law again, please do not make decisions in private, especially this Lord Xu Cenfeng..."
Xu Cenfeng was standing nearby and keenly heard his name. He subconsciously looked at Admiral Weather, but saw that the other party was whispering to Phaeth with his back to him. He could only vaguely hear a few scattered words:
"He is a rare pure-blooded male insect... You should become a mate as soon as possible... There will be competition for him tomorrow after the news spreads... You must control your temper when living together... Don't be reckless like you were with Hill... Give birth to a baby insect as soon as possible..."
Xu Cenfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, thinking that this was what he was talking about. A smile seemed to flash across his dark pupils, but it did not look obvious. He simply turned around and walked to the window to look at the scenery, leaving space for the two of them to talk.
Phaeth said nothing from beginning to end, remaining silent for the first time in his life, but this was not because he felt that Admiral Weather's words made sense, but because he was dumbfounded.
What makes a partner
Why give birth to a baby insect as soon as possible
What a mess!
If he were placed on Earth in the future, Phaeus would definitely be a rebellious lunatic who is only focused on his career and would never marry or have children. Now, out of the blue, his elders are advising him to get married and have children as soon as possible, which is tantamount to dancing wildly in a minefield.
Phaeth knew he had to be more restrained in front of his elders, so he remained silent throughout the whole process, with only the throbbing veins on his forehead revealing some of his emotions: "Got it."
These three words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
Admiral Weather could see that Phaeth was not sincere. He frowned, shook his head, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are no longer a little bug. You should be more stable in the future."
"Wheels-"
At this moment, a crisp bouncing sound suddenly came from upstairs, followed by a colorful toy ball rolling down the stairs and stopping right at Admiral Weather's feet.
Admiral Weather picked up the things at his feet in confusion when he saw this, and subconsciously looked up at the second floor, thinking that Faus might have hidden another male insect at home. However, he saw a green-eyed female insect squatting beside the railing and secretly peeking at them. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Agu was just brought into the room by Xu Cenfeng to play, and he didn't know how he got out. He saw his toy ball being held in Admiral Weather's hand, and he growled angrily, immediately ran down the stairs and snatched the toy ball from Admiral Weather's hand, then hid directly behind Xu Cenfeng, looking at him vigilantly.
Admiral Weather's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason. He stared at the skinny, dark female insect for a long time and asked Phaeth in surprise, "Who is this insect?"
Upon hearing this, Phaeth subconsciously looked towards Xu Cenfeng, but seeing that he was not looking at him, he had to look away and explained casually, "This female insect cub is a criminal slave in the Laguna auction house. Xu Cenfeng felt sorry for him and bought him back."
Phaeth didn't say too much in detail. After all, Agu's identity had not been confirmed yet, and it would be bad if it turned out to be a false alarm.
Xu Cenfeng touched Agu's hair and whispered, "Don't be rude."
Agu lowered his head and played with the ball without saying a word.
Xu Cenfeng smiled helplessly, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, and explained to Admiral Weather: "I'm sorry, Agu is only thirteen years old and still a little unstable."
Admiral Weather's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "How old do you say he is?!"
Xu Cenfeng: "The crime indenture should say he is thirteen years old, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Admiral Weather suddenly lost control of his emotions and pulled Agu out. He ignored Agu's struggle and biting, and directly lifted up his clothes on his back to check, but found a red mark on his shoulder blade. He froze on the spot and muttered three words: "Uguz..."
Faus raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Admiral Weather to confirm Agu's identity so quickly. "Uguz? Didn't he die more than ten years ago? How could he be this female insect cub?"
Admiral Weather retorted excitedly: "No! Uguz is not dead, he just got lost! Look, there is a red birthmark on his back, exactly the same as when he was a child, even the eye color and age are the same!"
Admiral Weather's eyes were red when his long-missing son suddenly returned to him overnight. He held Agu's face with trembling hands. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt. He looked exactly like Zog when he was a child. He hugged him tightly and said incoherently: "Oguz... my Oguz... how did you suddenly appear here... Father finally found you... Father finally found you..."
The battle-hardened general's voice was filled with regret, pain, and endless self-blame. He had chosen the empire, but allowed Agu to wander outside. He was covered with scars at such a young age. At the age of thirteen, he looked only seven or eight years old. I don't know how much he suffered outside.
As brothers, Agu should have been pampered like Zog, but now he has fallen to the auction house and is being treated like a slave. One can't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate.
Maybe it was because of the blood connection, but Agu was quiet for the first time and didn't struggle. He tilted his head and looked at the crying middle-aged female insect in front of him. He held his toy ball tightly in one hand and wiped Admiral Weather's tears with the other hand, then he let out a beast-like growl.
“Roar~”
Not fierce, not cruel, more like simple curiosity about why he was crying.
Admiral Weather was stunned again when he saw Agu wiping his tears. His arms, which had just lost control, finally loosened a little. He held Agu's thin and dark cheeks, pressed his forehead against Agu's, and whispered with red eyes and sobs: "Good boy... My good boy..."
It seemed that Phaeth had no feelings towards family affection. When he saw this scene, he didn't know what he was thinking. His cold brows frowned unconsciously, and finally he turned his head to look away.
Only Xu Cenfeng knows the reason.
When Phaeth was young, he was actually a wild insect cub. His female father died in battle very early, and his male father turned directly to another female insect. The previous leader saw that he was a rare S-level female insect among the royal family, so he took him to his side and adopted him. Otherwise, he would not be here today.
Phaes himself had no relatives, so when he saw others reunited, he was not moved, but felt irritated and uneasy.
Because he didn't have that thing.
He doesn't have it, so he doesn't like others to have it.
He felt that he would never have blood relatives, but he didn't know that he actually had a bug cub in his previous life...
Xu Cenfeng could only smooth things over for him. He walked up to Admiral Weather, who was in grief, and whispered to comfort him. It took a long time before the other party finally calmed down.
Admiral Weather stood up from the ground, holding Agu tightly in his arms, refusing to let go for a moment, as if he was afraid that the lost bug would be lost again. He calmed down and looked at Xu Cenfeng, with gratitude in his words: "Sir, if you hadn't brought Agu back from the auction house, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find him. Thank you very much."
Xu Cenfeng actually wanted to leave this favor to Phaeth: "You are too polite. It was the leader's consent that allowed me to bring Agu back. I didn't expect that he was your lost young son."
Admiral Weather gave him a deep look and said meaningfully, "You will be the chief's partner in the future. Whether it's you or him, we are all family members. It doesn't matter who you thank."
Phaeth was standing nearby, and his eyelids twitched when he heard this: "Damn it, when did I ever say I wanted to be his partner?!"
Admiral Weather didn't know Phaeth completely, but he knew about 70% of it. Most of the noble female insects in the north indulged in sensual pleasures, but Phaeth had never brought any male insects home. Xu Cenfeng was the first.
Once some things are broken, there's no stopping them.
However, Admiral Weather was in no mood to argue with Phaeth today. He touched the back of Agu's head and decided to take him to the hospital for a blood test for safety reasons. He said in a serious tone, "Chief, I will take Agu away. I hope you can remember what I said just now. No matter what happens in the future, you must think twice before acting. Hill's incident must not happen again."
Phaeth felt that Admiral Weather was worrying about nothing.
He couldn't bear to shoot Xu Cenfeng's lower body, after all, it was related to his sexual life for the rest of his life.
Admiral Weather finally left with Agu. In the evening, Phaeth received the doctor's test report, confirming that Agu was indeed Admiral Weather's lost son. He was sitting on the balcony smoking at that time. He threw the terminal aside after taking a look, and lazily lay down on the chair, staring at the snowflakes flying outside the glass window.
The sealed viewing balcony faces the distant west. It is said that the people there all believe in gods, but Phaes has never believed in that kind of thing. His current status is the result of his own hard work and has nothing to do with those illusory ghosts and gods.
The wind was howling outside, but it was warm as spring inside.
There was a stack of papers quietly placed on Phaeth's knees, which was Xu Cenfeng's blood test report. He glanced at the data on it and felt very unhappy for some reason.
Those guys in the military are all big mouths. I'm afraid that within a few days, the news that there is a pure-blooded male insect in the north will spread everywhere.
Xu Cenfeng should be very proud now, because there will be countless female insects pursuing him madly in the future. The north never believes in gods, but who knows, those female insects may worship him as a god.
When Xu Cenfeng came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he saw Phaes sitting alone on the balcony smoking with a blood test report in his hand. He sometimes sneered and sometimes looked disdainful. If you didn't know, you would think he was crazy.
Xu Cenfeng stood behind and looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
