Edwin once again subconsciously looked at Asta.
Asta and Zhou Yuan looked at him together. Seeing him looking over, Asta added, “Uncle, this is specially prepared for you by the Lord.”
“Okay, thank you, Your Excellency,” Edwin accepted it somewhat overwhelmed.
Afterward, the three zergs chatted for a while.
But most of the time, Edwin was asking about things related to Asta. He didn’t have any experience interacting with a male zerg like Zhou Yuan, so he didn’t know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan did his homework yesterday, so he quickly took the initiative in the conversation, passionately demonstrating his abilities to Edwin and showing his love for Asta. As a result, before it was even time for lunch, Edwin felt a bit overwhelmed.
But at the same time, he felt a little happy for Asta.
Perhaps Asta was right; this male zerg was indeed different from other male zergs.
As noon approached, Zhou Yuan didn’t chat for long. He noticed the time and said, “Uncle, Asta, I’ll go cook first, you guys chat.”
After speaking, he naturally walked into the kitchen.
Edwin: ???
He looked at Zhou Yuan, who had already disappeared into the kitchen, and then at Asta, who was sitting calmly in place, feeling a bit dazed.
“Asta, do you always let male zergs cook for you at home?” he asked.
Asta shook his head, “I also want to cook, but last time, I almost burned down the kitchen. Lord doesn’t let me into the kitchen now. He said he’ll teach me to cook later.”
Edwin glanced at the kitchen with some complexity.

Lord Dixia is indeed as Asta said, completely different from other male zergs.

Seeing the shocked eyes of Edwin, Zhou Yuan felt satisfied with his plan to please his father-in-law.
After tasting the dishes made by the male zerg, Edwin was not only shocked but completely captivated by the delicious food. Even his gaze followed the dishes, let alone sparing any to others.
Asta was the same. The two female zergs maintained the same pace, almost the same movements, devouring the food.
After finishing the meal, unsurprisingly, both female zergs were full.
Zhou Yuan could only helplessly brew some hawthorn tea again, handing a cup to each zerg.
Edwin somewhat embarrassedly accepted it with both hands, sipping it slowly, and Asta did the same.
The two similar-looking but differently styled female zergs performing almost identical actions made Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but sigh. It’s no wonder they say the nephew resembles the uncle, especially since Asta was raised by his uncle.
Many habits and gestures, these two uncles and nephew were indeed completely consistent.
Finally, Edwin didn’t stay long; he still had some military affairs to handle.
Zhou Yuan pushed Asta to bid farewell to Edwin together.
When they returned to the villa, they were greeted by a pile of gifts sent by Edwin.
There were so many gifts that they almost blocked the passage. Zhou Yuan asked Asta, “Shall we open the gifts?”
Asta nodded, “Yes!”
So, the two zergs sat together on the carpet. Zhou Yuan brought down the piled boxes, and Asta sorted the things out into categories.
It had to be said that Edwin had also done his research.
He bought a set of the hottest-selling items for male zergs in the supermarket, including but not limited to: a golden goblet encrusted with red pigeon blood, an exquisitely crafted set of golden tableware and matching silverware, and a full set of scented shower gels carried on crystal.
Almost every time a box was opened, the contents inside sparkled with the scent of money.
In comparison, the bottle of wine Zhou Yuan gave seemed even more insignificant, leaving him feeling somewhat conflicted.
Seeing Zhou Yuan’s subtle hesitation, Asta, sensing that male zergs might not like extravagant things, hesitantly asked, “Lord, do you not like these?”
Zhou Yuan shook his head. He looked into Asta’s eyes and saw a hint of unease, as if he was afraid Zhou Yuan wouldn’t like them. Unable to resist, Zhou Yuan took Asta’s hand.
“I don’t dislike them,” Zhou Yuan said, gazing into Asta’s eyes. Seeing Asta’s eyes filled with a hint of doubt, Zhou Yuan continued, “My uncle’s gifts are all precious. Compared to them, the wine I gave feels a bit inadequate.”
Asta’s eyes turned puzzled again. “How could that be? Lord, you’re the first male zerg to ever give gifts to a female elder.”
After a moment’s pause, Asta added hesitantly, “Yuo told me that you prepared gifts for my uncle because you value me. Thank you, Lord.”
Perhaps Asta himself didn’t realize it, but as he spoke these words, his eyebrows relaxed, and beautiful ripples appeared in his amethyst-like eyes.
He was happy.
Zhou Yuan’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Asta. He rarely saw Asta with such an expression. Most of the time, he saw Asta’s indifferent face, with a touch of redness at the tips of his ears.
Zhou Yuan didn’t think there was anything special about preparing gifts for his father-in-law, considering it was quite common in his world. But apparently, it was completely different in the zerg world, which explained Asta’s happiness.
He couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle Asta’s head, feeling the softness of his hair between his fingers, like fine silk.
Asta liked being petted by the male zerg. He happily leaned his head to the side, rubbing Zhou Yuan’s palm.
The initial sense of loss and complexity Zhou Yuan felt was completely healed by Asta’s simple words. He smiled and said, “Asta, you’re really adorable.”
“Adorable” was not a word that should be used to describe an S-class military female who could easily crush steel plates.
This word was usually used to describe petite and lovely creatures without much combat ability, who needed protection from female zergs and male zergs.
Asta frowned slightly, feeling embarrassed. “Lord, I’m not adorable. I’m powerful and can protect you.”
Zhou Yuan was taken aback, realizing that his definition of “adorable” and the zerg world’s definition were different. But instead of explaining, he just smiled and ruffled Asta’s head, saying, “Well, Asta is the most powerful female zerg in the Alliance.”
Asta’s furrowed brows relaxed, and he subconsciously rubbed Zhou Yuan’s hand again, like a large feline that was easily soothed.

[T/n: After uploading for the first time, I made some changes in my doc files. Thus, while copy-pasting over the initial upload, I failed to realize that some of the texts had not been erased. You may notice this happened a few times, as my uploads are scheduled, and I don’t remember which ones I’ve changed. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. My last scheduled chapter is 49. So hopefully, you won’t be seeing this same problem after that.]
Thank you for the chapter! It looks like partway through the chapter starts over, when he is calling Asta adorable.
