Major General, a Male Zerg has been found on the battlefield!!

Even the most powerful female zergs cannot remain composed during childbirth.

Rhys, who was very concerned about appearances, hid under his robe and was carried all the way to the delivery room by the male zerg.

“Lord He Qin, leave it to us, you can go and rest for a while,” Dr. Buya blocked the male zerg trying to rush into the delivery room.

During childbirth, female zergs uncontrollably release their wings and may tear the birthing canal due to oversized egg, making everything quite messy.

In the operating room, aside from the cries of pain from the female zerg, there was also a strong smell of blood.

Many male zergs would disdain the messy childbirth process of female zergs. Of course, to ensure the female zergs’ peace of mind, male zergs were not allowed into the delivery room.

“Major General, let’s try natural childbirth first. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll proceed with a caesarean section.”

“When the frequency of pain matches the breathing rate, please let me know.”

“Mm.”

Devices attached to the female zerg’s abdomen effectively gathered pain values, and the red line on the display screen kept soaring, nearing the average tolerance level of the female zerg.

Unlike human females with suitable birth canals, their childbirth process was much more arduous.

“Major General, the size of the eggs in your abdomen is too large, and there’s already a tendency for the birth canal to tear. Let’s go with the caesarean section,” Dr. Buya, sweating profusely, instructed his assistant to prepare the surgical tools.

“No, no.” Rhys, in pain, grabbed Dr. Buya’s sleeve.

Due to the pain, Rhys’s palms were sweaty, and in a short time, a corner of the doctor’s white coat was soaked.

During childbirth, a female zerg’s recovery ability would be at its lowest.

Even so, their cell healing ability was also a major issue. To ensure that the female zerg’s wound would not heal quickly after repeated caesarean sections, the surgical tools used were coated with a solution to inhibit rapid wound healing.

This unnatural method of childbirth would leave a permanent scar on the female zerg’s abdomen that could never be removed.

His body belonged to the male lord, and he couldn’t let anyone destroy the male master’s property.

Rhys insisted on giving birth himself, so Dr. Buya had no choice but to give up the caesarean section and continually guide him to exert more effective efforts.

As Rhys suffered inside, He Qin naturally felt uneasy outside the delivery room. He pulled on the little leopard’s collar and circled the entrance to the delivery room thousands of times.

Poor little leopard, exhausted, wanted to lie down and rest a bit, but it was still being tugged by male zergs needing to release stress.

Its newly grown fur during the molting season was being pulled out in clumps.

The childbirth process for female zergs was quite lengthy, but He Qin patiently waited outside the delivery room.

By the early hours of the second day, the red alarm lights at the entrance to the delivery room finally stopped flashing.

Seeing that the little leopard had fallen asleep, He Qin seemed to have a telepathic connection with the female zerg who had just successfully given birth. He rubbed his eyes and soon saw Dr. Buya coming out of the delivery room.

“Lord He Qin, congratulations. The cub is very healthy.”

The ‘Big White Egg’ in his arms with red patterns was his child?

He Qin held the egg in his hands. “You did great.” He didn’t mind the sweat stains on Rhys’s head as he bent down to kiss her, the one who had given birth to his offspring.

“Um, Male Lord, I’m dirty.” Rhys tilted his head and dodged the male zerg’s kiss.

Usually, female zergs would choose to have the female father or caregiver clean them up after childbirth before appearing in front of the male master.

Rhys buried his head under the blanket, inwardly despising his embarrassing situation.

“Where’s the dirtiness? My Rhys at home smells the best.”

How could Rhys, who had labored so hard to nurture offspring, be considered ugly?

To prove the truth of his words, he deliberately sniffed at Rhys’s neck, causing the female zerg to shrink his head and nearly fall off the hospital bed.

The Little leopard saw the intimate gestures between the two and also leaned over with his big head, insisting on licking Rhys until he relented.

“Male Master, can you show me the egg?” Rhys tilted his head, smoothly changing the subject.

“Dr. Buya said the newly born egg needs to go into an incubator, but I have the video he just sent. Let’s watch it together.” He Qin skillfully adjusted the hospital bed’s angle.

In the zerg race, female zerg eggs are larger and male zerg eggs are smaller, but looking at the ‘robust’ egg in the video, it didn’t seem like a frail little male zerg.

He Qin, who had just held the egg, could feel its weight. “This little guy is quite heavy. I reckon after hatching, he’ll be a chubby one.”

“It’s all thanks to the Male Lord. Your frequent mental counselling provided the egg with enough nutrition.” Rhys analyzed seriously from a physiological standpoint the reasons behind the egg’s excessive weight.

This made He Qin blush and cough awkwardly.

Newly born zerg eggs need to stay in an incubator in the hospital for at least twenty-four hours before being taken home by the male father or caregiver.

Male zerg egg incubation periods range from two to four weeks. All that’s needed is a customized home incubation bed comprehensive index, quietly awaiting the day the egg cracks.

Buya, as the personal physician of the Major General, would come every two days to check on the egg. Each time, the results were always “the egg is fine, and the hatchling is healthy.”

“Major General, when do you plan to inform the Imperial Government of the egg’s gender? Several female zergs have already come to inquire about it.” Dr. Buya stored the testing device in the spatial loop, looking somewhat uneasy.

Actually, it wasn’t Rhys intentionally hiding the egg’s gender. This idea came from the mouths of male zergs. Before the little one truly experienced this world, He Qin didn’t want to publicly announce it.

The incident on the starship had left He Qin deeply troubled.

The presence of traitors around them had become an established fact. The specific personnel were still under investigation even just before Rhys gave birth, but no news had come in.

In times like these, delaying the revelation of the child’s gender was obviously the best course of action.

Even Woody Hill and Ryan, who had good relations with He Qin, didn’t know the egg’s gender.

Sure enough, today, just as if they had agreed in advance, two male zergs came together to visit He Qin.

“His Highness, are you here to bless little Qin too?”

“Yeah, after spending half the day searching, I didn’t expect to bump into you.”

Hill’s identity, age, and achievements all easily warranted Ryan’s respectful address as “His Highness”. In the presence of this true royal descendant, Ryan’s noble demeanor seemed quite inadequate.

Two days after the female zerg gave birth, with the arrival of the two male zergs, Rhys naturally had no reason to stay lying down anymore.

While He Qin was entertaining the guests, Rhys was in the kitchen preparing refreshments.

“How does it feel to have a little zerg offspring?” Ryan asked.

“No feeling yet, it’s still just an egg.”

He Qin’s answer was as straightforward as ever!

Ryan and Woody Hill had both experienced raising zerg offspring before, though theirs were only female zergs, not male.

“Ah, still don’t know the gender of your zerg egg?” Ryan couldn’t help but inquire.

Indeed, he had been curious about the egg’s gender for a while now. If He Qin’s new zerg egg turned out to be a male, it would surely cause quite a stir in the Empire.

Ryan was his first friend since arriving on zerg Star, and he had helped without expecting anything in return more than once. Hill, recognized by the Empire for his noble qualities and gentle manners, was undoubtedly a man of impeccable character.

“It’s a male.” After considering for a while, He Qin decided to tell them the gender of the egg.

Informing these two shouldn’t have any adverse effects, as long as he instructed them not to reveal it for now. He Qin believed these two could handle it.

“Wow, the Empire is getting another male zerg offspring. Those old folks are going to go crazy again.”

“Congratulations, Xiao Qin, looks like my gift wasn’t wrong.”

Hill brought items needed for the male zerg offspring’s transformation period, all specially reserved for Imperial royalty and invaluable.

“Can we go see the egg?” Ryan suggested.

Ryan and Hill, both male zergs with royal blood, could relate better to the young He Qin.

He Qin led the two male zergs to the third-floor nursery. In the center of the room, where a crib should have been, there was now an incubation bed.

The incubation bed was filled with pink mist, completely obscuring the view of the inside through the transparent glass, much to the curiosity of the male zergs.

He Qin pressed the button to reduce the mist, gradually revealing a large white egg before the male zergs.

Sometimes He Qin wondered if the little one inside the egg could already hear and had a decent level of intelligence.

Indeed, when he had checked the egg in the morning, the red markings on the eggshell had been very distinct. Now, in the presence of strangers, the egg had completely concealed those red markings.

Aside from its unusually large size, it appeared to be a male zerg egg based on its appearance alone.

“The little one should be very healthy, larger than the zerg egg of my female zerg at home.” Ryan leaned closer to observe the egg, gesturing with his hands to compare the sizes of the two eggs.

A low growl from within the room startled the male zergs. “Little Guai, Rhys has been looking for you everywhere. You’ve been hiding here again.”

He Qin didn’t hesitate to give the leopard a few pats, but to the half-year-old leopard, these pats were hardly impactful.

The day the zerg egg was brought back, Little Guai was curious about the white round egg that carried its owner’s scent.

Seeing the egg placed in the incubation bed, it lost interest in the soft cushions Rhys had chosen for it, opting instead to sleep by the incubation bed every night.

“It really looks like an original Beastman form,” Ryan’s hand hesitated, wanting to touch yet wary that the wild beast with fangs might pounce.

The wild beast, covered in fur all over, struck Ryan’s soft spot. If possible, he would have liked to keep one too.

Just as He Qin said, Little Guai was not at all obedient. It half-crouched, constantly growling at the male zergs.

Ryan was immediately scared, taking three steps back and hiding behind He Qin, while Hill remained calmly in place without moving a step.

“Little Guai!” He Qin raised his voice, scolding the little leopard, “It’s too late for you, you won’t even get dinner.”

The leopard, with its increasingly robust body, bumped against He Qin’s scolding, leaving but not before stubbornly warning the male zergs with a low growl.

“Sorry, this guy is still untamed. Just don’t get too close to him.”

He Qin found it strange. Although the little leopard had become a bit temperamental—smashing things when not liking food, hiding when chased by naughty children, even competing for Rhys’s embrace—He Qin had never seen it so alert with its fur standing on end.

Could it be that the child was entering adolescence ahead of time?

But then, do leopards also have adolescence?

Meanwhile, at the Empire’s Information Investigation Bureau.

Hundreds of analyzers were burned out, dozens of researchers spent over a month, and they finally got the answer they sought.

“This male zerg isn’t just any A-class male zerg. He carries the most noble royal bloodline,” murmured the female zerg researcher in the laboratory.

Later, with the head full of unkempt hair, he wildly shouted at his colleagues, “Quick, quick, lock down the information and notify His Excellency immediately!”

His order to lock down the information was a step too late.

At the exhaust vent atop the female zerg laboratory, a pair of black eyes blinked, swiftly typing out a message.
