In the Zerg Race, Didn’t We Agree to Break the Engagement? Chapter 6
Chapter 6: “How to Please a Male”
Red Rose
His thoughts were interrupted by Pink-hair, and his originally poor mood was instantly dispelled. Sirius’s gaze was drawn to him, and he couldn’t help but study this male.
Height is linked to rank, and a male’s rank is primarily expressed through mental power. A male’s mental power is very obvious, dissipating around the body. This is the main basis for determining gender, with the exception of Sirius.
He had immense mental power, but it didn’t dissipate outside his body; instead, it stayed obediently in his mind. Unless he actively released it, almost no Zerg could discover it.
But the male in front of him was very ordinary. A high-rank male could clearly sense that his mental power was very weak, certainly not exceeding B-rank, and likely even a flawed B-rank.
Obviously, he wasn’t tall either, a full head shorter than Sirius. Sirius had to look down at him.
“Of course I have.”
Sirius answered very honestly, but Pink-hair immediately blew up upon hearing it: “Then why are you still looking at me!” Saying this, he lifted a foot to kick Sirius, but Sirius caught his ankle in one hand.
“Of course I have to look. I’ve seen many males, but I’ve never seen one like you.”
He had never seen a male so simple and clumsy—hadn’t seen one in the entire Zerg race.
Since he found him so soon after those females left, it was clear he hadn’t been far.
Zerg have extremely high dynamic vision. He should have seen Sirius force the females to a stop. In that case, even if Sirius hadn’t actively released his mental power, the guy should have been able to tell Sirius was different.
Yet he hadn’t doubted at all, directly identifying him as a female based on feeling. To be so foolish—Sirius was truly seeing it for the first time.
“What is your name?”
The pink-haired male pursed his lips, the left corner turning up in a smug smile as he lifted the leg that had been clamped under Sirius: “Hmph, do I have to tell you just because you asked?”
“Fine, then I won’t ask.”
Sirius released his ankle, tossed both his legs back, and then directly canceled the autopilot. He gripped the steering wheel himself, using driving to stop Pink-hair’s harassment, leaving the other to do nothing but stomp his feet.
“You really are a lost cause. Whatever, I won’t lower myself to your level!”
He took a deep breath: “Listen up, my name is Cyril. From now on, you are a candidate for my Cijun!”
“Huh…??”
“What are you talking about? When did I ever want to be your Cijun?” Sirius’s originally gloomy mood was completely broken. He turned around in surprise, and the tour vehicle that was supposed to clear the canyon plummeted instantly because it lost his control.
“Aaaaah—”
Cyril let out a terrified scream.
The next moment, the tour vehicle shot upward. Not only did it clear the canyon, but it also flew through the air for a while before landing heavily on the ground. The two Zerg sped off again.
Because he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, Cyril, who had been clutching the seat for dear life, finally let go. He performed a “carp leap” and sat back up:
“You really… can’t you just turn on the autopilot? I truly don’t get how there can be a female like you. Not a bit of romance, and so unlikable. It’s a waste of that handsome face.”
“But well, you’re lucky to have met me.” Cyril stroked his chin and tossed his head back, instantly regaining his vitality. He looked at Sirius with a very spirited expression: “I can properly teach you exactly how to please a male, like me.”
Sirius glanced at him calmly, wanting to tell him that he was actually a male. But on second thought, the troublesome bug had already latched on; even if he said it, he couldn’t shake him off. Maybe because he was a male, the troublesome bug would be even bolder in pestering him.
Thinking this, Sirius stayed quiet. Compared to females, males had much higher privacy rights and freedom.
So Sirius ultimately said nothing and continued driving his vehicle. Cyril, seemingly unnoticed by his disdain, coughed twice and stretched out a leg, lifting it in front of Sirius:
“Here, turn on the autopilot and give my leg a rub.”
“What are you looking at me for? This is all your fault. If you hadn’t talked to them for so long, how could I have stayed curled up in that pit for so long? I’m covered in dirt! People would think I went to eat dirt!”
“Besides, don’t you want to have more physical contact with me?” Cyril confidently straightened his collar and suggestively pulled his clothes down a bit.
Sirius: “…”
“I don’t. Listen, Cyril.”
“Once we get back to the base, we’re going our separate ways. Whether you want to leave or stay, just don’t pester me anymore. Do you hear me clearly?”
Sirius rarely spoke so bluntly, fearing the other wouldn’t understand. But unfortunately, Cyril understood yet chose to pretend he didn’t.
“Then let’s leave together in a bit!”
“Looking at your outfit, you must be here for mining. But someone is chasing me, so it’s best if we don’t stay. If you still want to come back in the future, I can begrudgingly accompany you one more time.”
“Let’s see, which planet should we go to next…”
“To correct you, it’s just me…”
“I know you don’t have any good ideas. Why don’t we go to H732? I heard the sun there is pink, it should be very pretty.”
“Or we could go see the aurora…”
“Stop! Stop! Stop—”
Sirius finally gave in to him, turned on the autopilot, and reached out to pinch his mouth shut. Only then did it finally get quiet.
“Has no bug ever told you that you’re very noisy?” So noisy that Sirius was in a hurry to get a word in.
“Of course not.” Cyril became emotional. Rather than being angry at him, it seemed more like he was hiding something.
He stood up straight: “Don’t be ungrateful. Even though I have a small problem, I’m still a B-rank male. I can match up two mental domains to an S-rank. Looking at you, you’re probably around that rank too. I’m willing to pay attention to you, you should be laughing in secret!”
“Oh? Is that so? Then I’m truly honored. Please, let me take you for a stroll on the Central Star. Only the Eclosion Ground of the Zerg Mother is worthy of you, my noble Excellence!”
The Cyril who was just incredibly proud a moment ago was now like a goose caught by the neck, instantly losing all his spirit.
Of course, the Zerg race didn’t actually have geese.
Cyril instantly deflated: “I don’t want to go to the Central Star~”
“Why? Do you not like it?” Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Sirius began to push further, teasingly raising an eyebrow. “What a shame. My next stop is the Central Star, my dear Lord Cyril.”
“It seems we won’t be on the same path. What a pity.”
Sirius looked as if he were very sad, bowing his head and sighing. He half-squinted his eyes to look at Cyril. As expected, the other looked very conflicted and hesitant.
He naturally had to hesitate. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the place Cyril and his group were heading to before was the Central Star.
All these days, the ships coming and going were all going to the Central Star. It likely had something to do with Cyril. Sirius had no intention of getting involved, but he hadn’t missed it. In any case, given the determination of Cyril’s escape, he definitely wouldn’t go to the Central Star with Sirius.
“Then… then…” Cyril’s eyes darted around, not knowing what he was thinking, as he gave Sirius a very innocent smile. “Then help send me to a populated urban planet. I’ll go on my own from there.”
“Thank you!”
Something was wrong.
Something was very wrong. Although they hadn’t spent much time together, Cyril was absolutely not an easy bug to talk to. Now that he had agreed so easily, it was clearly abnormal. And he had just thanked him.
Sirius looked at Cyril. The male opposite was smiling sweetly at him, revealing a clear dimple. His dirty appearance instead made his eyes seem even clearer.
A very beautiful blue, like an exceptionally clear and sunny morning.
Sirius decided to believe him for the time being.
Once they returned to the base, Cyril urgently requested that Sirius leave quickly. But Sirius just slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the hand that had touched Cyril.
“I’ve already been here for several days, and I appeared on the path of those chasing you. If I leave the moment you go missing, wouldn’t that make me look suspicious?”
“That does make sense…”
Cyril hesitated but still followed Sirius’s suggestion. The two prepared to leave the next day.
Sirius lived in the male apartment, which was equipped with three rooms and could accommodate other females. Sirius didn’t proactively say anything, but he didn’t intentionally hide it either. If Cyril were even slightly smarter and looked around more, he could tell, but he managed to notice nothing.
Inside the room.
Sirius and Julian maintained a frequency of meeting once a day. Every night before sleeping, the two would meet in virtual video, and today was no different.
Within the virtual space, Julian had simulated a sea of pink and blue flowers. He was wearing a white uniform with gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs. Two draped gold shoulder chains hung from his right shoulder.
White clouds, blue sky, radiant platinum-blonde hair, and eyes as soft as emeralds smiled at him.
It seemed that since the last time Sirius lost control of his emotions and told him to find another male, Julian had become even more attentive to him.
“Lord Xiongzhun~”
As usual, the female moved to his side with a smile. He was half a head shorter than Sirius, leaning perfectly against his shoulder. A cloyingly sweet floral scent filled Sirius’s surroundings, but it didn’t seem to be coming from the sea of flowers.
This scent was extremely close. He instinctively sniffed toward the source of the fragrance.
“Haha…” Julian laughed lightly. “Does Lord Xiongzhun like this scent?”
“It’s alright. Is it coming from you?”
Their consciousnesses were connected through the light brain, providing touch and sound, but the sense of smell shouldn’t have been perceivable.
Sirius sniffed again, confirming once more that Julian indeed had a faint fragrance on him.
Julian smiled and pulled two red flowers from the chest of his uniform. “Recently, another bug developed a new rose species. I heard it makes Zerg feel relaxed and comfortable. I thought you’ve been working hard lately, so I picked two before you arrived.”
“I originally wanted to let Lord Xiongzhun relax, but it seems that’s not necessary now.” Julian’s mouth turned down as if he were aggrieved. “Did Lord Xiongzhun meet some very good female? You seem quite happy today. Is he better than Julian?”
“Sigh, I really wish I could always stay by Lord Xiongzhun’s side. That way…” Julian’s hand landed on Sirius’s chest, his gaze naturally climbing upward to linger on the male’s eyelids.
Every time Sirius had a video call, he would choose the bathroom, and this time was no different.
