Although Mo Yan’s appearance was a bit more muscular than the average princess, it was still the type he liked, but he had no intention of changing his principles. Besides, even if he were called a female zerg, looking at Mo Yan’s appearance, he couldn’t treat him like a delicate princess in need of protection.
Mo Yan was surprised by Qi Yu’s directness, but he didn’t entirely believe it. “Lord is joking. The central brain’s match has already been made, and Mo Yan will be your female zerg in the future.”
“If you don’t like it, give Mo Yan a position as a female servant, and Mo Yan will not appear in front of you in the future.”
This statement was as gentle as possible. If it weren’t for a trace of unknown expression that flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes, Qi Yu might have believed it.
But upon hearing this, Qi Yu couldn’t conceal his astonishment. Because… what Mo Yan said was actually feasible in this society.
The central brain only said “queen,” but didn’t say that a queen couldn’t be demoted to a female servant. As long as both parties agreed, Mo Yan… was giving him advice?
Although Qi Yu had learned before that the status of female zergs was very low, he didn’t expect it to be so low. At this moment, Qi Yu finally realized the status of female zergs in the zerg race.
A grand Left Legion General actually said he was willing to be his concubine, Qi Yu’s throat rolled, swallowing a spit. He stared at Mo Yan’s face, but saw no expression on Mo Yan’s face, his attitude still gentle, as if this statement didn’t affect him much.
Mo Yan’s face was mild, as if being a concubine was a trivial matter for him. Qi Yu couldn’t really do that, though. With Mo Yan’s status, even being a queen for an A-level male zerg was enough qualification. He could imagine what kind of turmoil would happen in the zerg race if Mo Yan really did something like that. Then he would have even less peace in the future.
It’s all because of this match. Qi Yu sighed inwardly, knowing this was Mo Yan’s test for him.
“General, I’m serious.”
Qi Yu tapped the table with his knuckles, his eyes showing seriousness. With seriousness, he unintentionally exuded a faint pressure. Looking at Mo Yan with gray-white eyes, his gaze was cold. “I can tell you straightforwardly, I don’t like you, I’ve never thought about living with you, let alone having a relationship with you.”
“You don’t need to test anything here. Before your arrival, I even thought this might be a prank by the Imperial Central Brain. If it’s possible to dissolve this relationship, I hope to do it now. If it’s not possible to dissolve it…”
Qi Yu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. With this moment of contemplation, the pressure on him lessened significantly, which Mo Yan naturally noticed. He focused his gaze on his young male lord without speaking.
Qi Yu thought carefully for a moment, hesitating as he asked Mo Yan, “If it can’t be dissolved, can we sign a marriage contract?”

At least, the trouble of a contract would only last a few years, or maybe a dozen years, which was nothing for a species with an average age of 500. Running away would be troublesome for a lifetime, and he could distinguish which was lighter and which was heavier.
After hearing this, Mo Yan fell silent for a moment, looking somewhat surprised at the male zerg opposite him.
The male zerg’s expression was very serious, and his words didn’t seem fake. Such an attitude was unique among the zergs, and Mo Yan encountered it for the first time.
He had actually wanted to sign a marriage contract. Although the significance of doing so was not very significant, at least if the male zerg kept his word, he could protect himself. Male zergs were proud, and they would lose interest in female zergs with just a casual provocation. But now that the male zerg had spoken, he couldn’t agree.
Feeling the faint heat rising on his body, Mo Yan suppressed the sadness in his eyes.
Weren’t male zergs all like this? They would say they didn’t want it, but in reality… it was all nonsense.
The pheromones of the male zerg were as rampant and domineering as his attire and hair color, like a hot glass of liquor emitting an irresistible aroma, wandering around him, entering his body with his breath.
A wave of heat surged through his body involuntarily, a feeling of powerlessness engulfing Mo Yan’s entire body. Taking a deep breath, he relied on his strong self-control to prevent himself from losing composure.
“Lord, our relationship cannot be dissolved.” His attitude became much gentler in silence, not raising his eyes. His fingers clenched into fists at his side, nails sinking into his flesh, leaving a dark mark.
His voice revealed a different kind of tenderness, “Mo Yan has no intention of testing Lord. Every word is true. If you truly dislike it, just give Mo Yan a position as a female servant, and Mo Yan can handle everything else. Mo Yan will follow the Lord’s arrangements for everything.”
Mo Yan understood these male zergs too well. Because of his appearance, he had been harassed by male zergs since he was young. Gradually, he also developed a method to deal with them. As long as he made male zergs feel sufficiently respected, they wouldn’t be too difficult for him. Over the years, he had adhered to this principle, even studying the rules for female zergs and planning his words and actions accordingly. While respecting male zergs, he also worked hard to climb up to his current position.
At this position, ordinary zergs dared not be presumptuous in front of him.
But now, in front of him, was his nominal male Lord being presumptuous. If things went as expected, this zerg would be the future male father of his children. According to imperial regulations and the rules for female zergs, he would have to endure everything this zerg gave him.
Even though he didn’t want to, he couldn’t change it. He just hoped to get through today safely. He still had to go back…
The intense and domineering pheromones ignited throughout his body. Through the pheromones, Mo Yan could confirm that the male zerg in front of him was not just a C-level as shown on the surface; the match was genuine, without any tampering. This situation also made him powerless to resist. If he really did something to resist, with a C-level male zerg, he might be able to protect himself, but if it was an A-level, even with his current level and merits, he couldn’t escape the fate of exile. Moreover, even the zergs behind him would be implicated…
Mo Yan lowered his gaze, suppressing his unwillingness and reluctance, as he looked at the floor, trying to conceal his unease.
Qi Yu didn’t notice Mo Yan’s discomfort. After hearing Mo Yan’s words, he automatically ignored the latter part. Joke aside, although the male-to-female ratio in this world was high, if he, a C-level, dared to give Mo Yan the position of a female servant, he would undoubtedly face criticism. There were trillions of zergs in the zerg race, and he didn’t want to live in constant trouble in the future. That would be more troublesome than marrying Mo Yan.
“Can’t the relationship be dissolved?”
Qi Yu thought for a moment and asked, “Then there should be a time limit, right?”
If there was no time limit, there would be no need to sign a marriage contract. They had accidentally seen that marriage contract a few days ago, and there were quite a few zergs who had read it, so there should be a way. If there was no time limit, he was afraid he would have to find a way to leave. Otherwise, once they registered as partners, he would ruin Mo Yan’s life. Although Qi Yu wasn’t a good zerg, he didn’t have any grudges against Mo Yan. He couldn’t bring himself to ruin a zerg’s life. So, if they couldn’t get married temporarily, he could only run away.
However, if he ran away, he could only hide on a more remote planet. While searching for a planet, he would inevitably encounter exhaustion. There might even be exposure midway. Thinking of this, Qi Yu frowned.
If he could avoid running away, he would. But if he had to marry this zerg for a lifetime and live under the scrutiny of another zerg, he felt that running away would be more convenient.
Qi Yu tapped on the table, his voice carrying a hint of cold dominance as he stared at Mo Yan seriously. “Are you sure there’s no other way to resolve this? If not, you can leave. What happens next has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to worry about it. This match won’t affect you in any way.”
Mo Yan’s pupils deepened after hearing this, and after understanding the meaning behind Qi Yu’s words, he fell into a long silence.
Is the male zerg… serious?
The male zerg’s words undoubtedly gave him two choices. One was to propose a solution, and they would register their marriage, a nominal contractual marriage – of course, whether it was in name only or not depended on the male zerg’s thoughts.
The male zerg could easily find this method on the Star Network at any time. If he deceived the male zerg, he would surely face retaliation from the male zerg.
The second choice was to leave directly.
There were two possibilities if he left directly. One was that the male zerg wanted the Central Brain to think he was rebelling, thus completely ruining him.
The second was that the male zerg’s words were true, and the male zerg would take care of everything from then on, indicating that this match had nothing to do with him. This possibility was extremely slim, but the feasibility of the male zerg revealing his level was also high. Everything depended on the male zerg’s will.
Mo Yan had made many choices in his life. Even in dangerous environments, he had never hesitated. But at this moment, he was unusually hesitant.
How should he choose among these three options? No one could predict the future. Just like he had never thought he would be matched with another zerg.
Mo Yan raised his gaze to look at Qi Yu, observing Qi Yu’s serious yet somewhat cold expression. The reluctance and rebellion in his heart gradually faded, replaced by an impulse to take a gamble.
If he wins, perhaps he can live his life without being influenced by any zerg.
If he loses, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. At most, he’ll give up everything he has now and become an interstellar fugitive. Anyway, by then, he will have already registered with the male zerg, and it won’t affect the zergs behind him.
Moreover, the male zerg’s rank is high, and he may not even be interested in him…After thinking it through, Mo Yan lifted his eyes and focused on Qi Yu’s.
“There is.”
Mo Yan’s gaze was firm as he looked at Qi Yu, not missing any expression on Qi Yu’s face.
“The marriages matched by the Central Brain, if there are no emotions involved, can be dissolved after five years if both parties agree.”
