As promised by Rhys, he has been assisting with the audit work during this period. The two lay on the bed, reading documents and discussing opinions. Over the course of a few months, He Qin indeed learned a lot from the female zerg.
“Rhys, should my name be filled in here?”
“Yes, after you fill it out, just stamp it with the seal.”
Rhys stared at the male zerg’s signed name in the worm like script, then took out a metal seal from the bedside cabinet.
“Alright, this is the last document.”
He Qin stretched his hands upwards, loosening the stiff muscles in his shoulders from prolonged sitting.
The estimated negotiation time was over half a year, but there were few disagreements between the zerg race and humans, making the alliance negotiations much simpler. In total, it only took a short three months.
“Master, I’ve made an appointment with Enzo for tomorrow to inspect the goods exchanged for Earth.”
He Qin stood up from the bed, shaking his head to loosen his body, and moved his joints.
“What items are there? Should we do some research first?”
Earth needs the technology and intellectual civilization data of the zerg race, while the zerg race needs various resources from Earth. Both sides have reached a consensus to exchange Earth’s resources for zerg race technology, and the zerg race is preparing to develop a trade route between two planets.
The quality of the first batch of goods shipped to the zerg race needs strict control; the success of the trade route depends on the quality of the traded goods.
The list of goods was quickly sent to the male zerg’s light-brain. He Qin carefully checked the data on thousands of items and realized it was already late at night.
He Qin yawned, “Rhys, accompany me to the bank tomorrow.”
The bank? Referring to Earth’s starcoin exchange?
Feeling the questioning gaze from the female zerg, He Qin stopped searching through the data. “I want to convert the remaining Earth currency into hard currency and leave it all for female father.”
Most of Roy’s salary was spent on the three-story small villa, and now he has stepped back from the front line of the army, so his salary should be less than before. Ivan, due to being a different species, is not allowed to work on Earth.
The cost of living in Country M is not low, and while Roy’s remaining money can support two people for now, future expenses cannot be guaranteed.
Since he was returning to the higher zerg race, it was better to convert the money in the bank card into hard currency that is difficult to depreciate, leaving it for Roy and the female father, which would greatly alleviate his financial pressure.
The master really treats female father as his own father!
“Thank you, Master.” The golden eyes of the female zerg visibly moistened under He Qin’s gaze, then he buried his head into his chest.
He Qin held Rhys in a sideways position, reducing the pressure on his abdomen. He lightly patted the female zerg’s back, smiling proudly.
The young boy’s peculiar pride was always well satisfied by the female zerg.
The pheromones of the male and female zergs were released wildly and mingled under the covers. The scent of ginger became stronger in Rhys’s nostrils, often indicating the male zerg’s need for marital relations.
He Qin learned all about pregnancy from Earth women. On Earth, women are not allowed to have intercourse with their husbands in the first three months of pregnancy, which many newlyweds cannot endure, resulting in the loss of the child’s life.
When he first found out he was carrying zerg eggs, the male zerg dared not have too much intimate contact with him. Later, after guidance from the female zerg, the male zerg learned that the gestation period of the female zerg is completely different from that of Earth women. Besides daily spiritual exchanges, the female zerg also needs the male zerg to maintain a certain frequency of mating.
Such private matters behind closed doors also required guidance from the female zerg. That night, He Qin, blushing deeply, took Rhys to bed and tossed and turned all night.
Since then, the male zerg has never suppressed this need.
“Wait, Master.” Rhys poked his head out from the male zerg’s embrace. The female zerg is very open and bold in marital matters, and he rarely has moments of shyness or refusal like this.
He Qin suspiciously followed the female zerg’s gaze and saw the larger and much more playful leopard, which had moved to the bedside at some point. At this moment, it was hiding its head under the blanket and wagging its tail happily.
That annoying creature again!
He shouldn’t have let Rhys bring it back in the first place. Now, it had completely attached itself to his family’s Rhys, and had even intentionally disrupted his good times several times.
He Qin suddenly stood up from the bed, grabbed the little creature’s nape with effort. Rhys had fed it so well that the almost six-month-old baby leopard was already showing signs of becoming a little chubby.
The hotel room they lived in was just like a regular residence, with basic parts like bedrooms, living rooms, studies, bathrooms, etc. He Qin dragged the little creature to the door, grabbed its nape with both hands, and swiftly threw it outside.
“Aoo, Awo.” When the little troublemaker reacted, the male zerg had already firmly closed the door. It could only curl up outside the bedroom door, close to where Rhys’s scent was coming from.
“The annoying fellow is gone, let’s continue.”
The master’s gaze was more terrifying than when the little troublemaker saw fresh meat.
Rhys instinctively wanted to hide under the blanket, but He Qin didn’t let him. With one hand, he pulled the blanket onto the carpet and leaned over to restrain the female zerg trying to escape.
“Um, Master, go slower.”
“Good, face me directly, so you won’t press on the child.”
“Awoo~~” The female zerg cried out from being bullied, yet the male zerg still didn’t spare him, tormenting the female zerg. Little leopard vowed to teach the male zerg a lesson tomorrow.
The not-yet-mature baby leopard was forced to listen to a live broadcast outside the door all night, making it more convinced that the male zerg was evil.
Last night seemed to have gone a bit too far.
He Qin admired the cute appearance of the Major General when he slept, silently reflecting on last night’s ‘animal behavior.’
Cooking was never He Qin’s strong suit. In the military, he ate whatever was available. After being with Rhys, cooking duties were taken over by Rhys and Ivan.
He Qin rubbed his messy hair, his gaze distractedly staring at the food in the fridge.
The red one should be tomatoes, the pile should be eggs, and the one inside should be cabbage or spinach? After struggling for a while, he finally decided to make a simple fried egg and toast two slices of bread.
Taking out two eggs, he put oil in the pan. He Qin held the spatula, ready to face his first attempt at frying eggs.
The first egg undoubtedly burned. There was too little oil and the fire was too high, sadly turning the poor egg into charcoal.
When He Qin went out, he forgot to close the door. The clever little troublemaker pushed open the narrow crack, with the male zerg’s scent faint in the room. The little creature joyfully came to Rhys’s side.
The red marks on the strong female zerg’s skin surface had disappeared, but the internal fatigue of the body could not be reduced. The baby leopard sat on the carpet, wagging its tail, patiently waiting for Rhys to wake up naturally.
Small animals are not very patient. Seeing Rhys breathing steadily without signs of waking up, the big head rubbed against the female zerg’s arm hanging in the air, and its tail wrapped around Rhys’s leg.
In his sleep, Rhys felt occasional itching on his arm and legs. “Um, Master?” He groped for the position next to him, only to touch a soft pillow.
Supporting his waist with his left hand, he sat up, his gaze scanning the surroundings. He didn’t see the male zerg, only the baby leopard asking for a petting.
The little leopard got the petting it wanted from the female zerg and made a comfortable purring sound.
“Little obidient, where’s the Master?”
“Awo.” The little leopard reluctantly called out towards the door.
Rhys held the male zerg’s upper garment and as soon as he stepped out, he smelled the scent of burnt food. “Master, what are you busy with?”
“Ding ding clank,” the metallic cookware fell to the ground, and the male zerg turned awkwardly. “Um, I wanted to make breakfast for you, but it seems unlikely now.” He Qin held a wire brush in his hand, and his apron was sprayed all over with dish soap.
Rhys looked at the sink, and the poor frying pan, scrubbed violently by the male zerg, had lost all its paint.
“Master, please put on your upper garment first.” Rhys reached out to untie the male zerg’s apron, and used tissues to dry the water and dish soap on the male zerg’s body.
He Qin had a habit of not wearing his upper garment at home. Rhys was afraid he would catch a cold or get sick, and had repeatedly suggested it several times, but the master only agreed verbally each time, which wasn’t really the case.
“Can we have noodles today?” Rhys looked at the ingredients in the fridge and asked.
After coming to Earth, Rhys’s biggest gain was probably learning many unique Earth dishes. He also invited top chefs for one-on-one teaching for various dishes.
In the kitchen, the female zerg was busy in an orderly manner. He Qin hugged the female zerg from behind, kissed Rhys’s neck, and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Rhys.”
The female zerg took over the kitchen, and soon two bowls of simple Chinese breakfast—tomato and egg noodles—were placed on the table.
Rhys leaned down and took out a piece of pork from the bottom of the fridge, thawed it in the defroster, and put it in the baby leopard’s dedicated food bowl.
The ‘family of three’ quietly enjoyed their delicious breakfast.
Zerg Empire, Central Star System, Qi Residence.
“You can’t treat me like this, blame everything on me, I’ll be locked up in prison, and my life will be over in the second half.”
The male zerg hid in his own warehouse, took out another light-brain from the paper box, and cried to the person opposite, “Please, you can’t treat me like this.”
“You wanted to do this yourself, and now you say you can’t bear the consequences?” The person opposite, still wrapped in black cloth, coldly sneered and mocked the female zerg’s plea.
“I just said I wanted to teach him a lesson at the time, not kill him. It’s your deliberate misinterpretation of my intentions.” The male zerg couldn’t go out these days, his calls were monitored, living a life like a criminal, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
“What do you want to do?” Both sides were quiet for a moment, and the man asked again.
“If you don’t find a way to resolve this soon, I will tell the truth to the investigation. Don’t blame me for causing trouble to His Highness.”
“Do you think they will believe you?”
“If pushed to the brink, do you think I can still keep all the secrets?”
“Qi Lun, do you dare to betray His Highness?”
“If His Highness doesn’t want to ruin his reputation, instead of getting angry for nothing, you’d better find a way to save me quickly.” Without hearing the reply from the opposite side, the cloud was shattered.
He was confident that His Highness would compromise.
