Chapter 51: Male School Heartthrob x Military Academy Student (14): They Were Set Up by 'An' and Ulysses!

[Wait, Iso? He looks so cold, but he's actually this smooth?]

The readers below the chapter were all stunned.

[Taking notes, taking notes.]

[Next time I'll tell a Male Zerg this: while we're engaged, you can only have part of my Star Coins, but after marriage, everything I have is yours.]

[Why does it somehow lose half its appeal when you say it?]

[Atmosphere, brothers! You need atmosphere first!]

[Damn Iso, how can he be so high-level at this?]

[I wonder who it was that said in chapter one, "Marriage isn't in my plans for the next twenty years." (pointing fingers)]

[And now every word out of his mouth is trying to coax the Male Zerg into marrying him.]

The Female Zergs all expressed contempt.

But in reality, they were extremely envious and understood him perfectly.

[Female Zergs have such weak resistance to Male Zergs. Once they meet the right one, they fall incredibly fast. Not to mention a Male Zerg as wonderful as Lord Hill.]

[He's literally the ideal type, the kind you only dream about. Loves hatchlings, respects Female Zergs, high rank, noble and beautiful, incredibly capable... there are too many advantages to count.]

[Ideal Male Father, ideal Male Lord. Who wouldn't fall?]

[As a Garuda, I have to say this: Young Master Hill is the best Male Zerg I've ever seen. He's completely different from your other Male Zergs. Whether it's hatchlings or Female Zergs, he's beyond criticism. Outstanding and perfect.]

Unlike the Zergs, where Male Zergs did not participate in raising hatchlings, Garuda males contributed much more.

When a Garuda female carried eggs, the males busied themselves taking care of her.

...Though they couldn't really help much, they at least looked very busy. Being surrounded by males put the pregnant females in a good mood.

Then, once the eggs were laid, the females would throw them into the males' arms, put on their military uniforms, and head off to war to pursue their careers.

Leaving the males at home to incubate the eggs while waiting for them to return.

Garuda females had always disliked the Zerg Male Zerg practice of only enjoying themselves and contributing nothing to raising hatchlings afterward.

But Hill was different.

Everything about him was good.

Even among the Garuda, he'd be considered an ideal partner.

Many Garuda females secretly admired Hill.

"I want to lay lots of eggs for him to incubate."

...That was a Garuda confession.

The Female Zergs only wanted to roll their eyes.

[What, is being praised by you Garuda supposed to be a great honor?]

[Who gave you the face to sit here judging?]

[Take a look at yourselves. You're not even worthy of carrying Lord Hill's shoes. Just appearing before him would dirty his eyes, and you still want to lay eggs? Your ego is huge.]

[You've sniffed too much pheromone and lost your minds. Dreaming this big?]

Which was why Garuda and Zergs could never have a proper conversation.

The Female Zergs themselves didn't even have a chance to pursue Lord Hill.

Yet these Garuda wanted Lord Hill to incubate eggs?

What Female Zerg could tolerate that?

They immediately blasted the Garuda.

Lord Hill would never incubate eggs for any female!

Even Iso wouldn't...

Right?

...

【Hill was deeply shocked by Iso's words.

In an engagement, intimacy between a Female Zerg and a Male Zerg required the Female Zerg to pay a large amount of Star Coins.

And once married, the Female Zerg would have to give everything.

This...

Female Zergs had it way too hard!

Thinking about the future the hatchling had spoken of, where Iso married him...

Hill's face turned pale.

Crossing both hands before himself to cover everything, he lowered his head and apologized to Iso.

"I'm sorry! I absolutely won't treat you that way! I won't make you experience something like that again!"

Iso: "...?"

...】

Readers: ...?!!!

[This isn't what I imagined.]

[Iso! (angry) Keep flirting! Keep talking nonsense! Now your Male Lord is gone!]

[Then what about the notes I took...]

[They're still useful! Useful on other Male Zerg Lords! But Lord Hill... he's too unusual.]

They had thought Lord Hill would choose one of two options.

Either sleep with the Female Zerg and only take the Star Coins without marrying.

Or sleep with the Female Zerg and marry him.

Iso had probably thought the same.

Who could've imagined Lord Hill choosing neither?

He was probably dumbfounded too.

But thinking about it carefully...

This really was Lord Hill.

Always thinking too much for others.

Naturally, he'd think about the Female Zerg pursuing him and not want him to lose his property.

But Female Zergs only wanted to kneel down and devour Lord Hill whole.

Who cared about property?

What was more important than Lord Hill?

Wasn't all that money saved up specifically to pursue Male Zergs?

The readers were crying.

[Lord Hill, we know you're wonderful, but please don't be this wonderful right now.]

[Male Zergs can occasionally be cold and tyrannical. Female Zergs will enjoy it too, trust me. Saying this now is worse than just pushing Iso down. He'd thank you more.]

[Male Father and Female Father are too innocent. What do we do?]

[I know you're still pure college students, but you already have a hatchling! Just do it! It's fine!]

...

【Iso's feelings were also extremely complicated.

He hadn't said those things to make the Male Zerg promise not to do them.

On the contrary.

He had been looking forward to it.

Hill's response surprised him.

Yet somehow, it didn't.

Hill was Hill.

He was too good.

He deserved to be loved by everyone.

Even if he was rejected like this, Iso wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Lord Hill.

Instead, he'd only think he was even better.

But Iso didn't want things to end here.

"That's not what I meant... I'll explain my feelings to you properly later. But for now, may I help you deal with your current situation first?"

Iso gazed at the Male Zerg and asked softly.

His tone was so casual and natural, like asking whether he could remove a flower petal that had fallen onto him.

So much so that Hill didn't understand at first.

Until the Female Zerg lowered his eyes and glanced downward meaningfully.

"If you leave it alone, it'll be uncomfortable, won't it?"

Hill's face instantly turned red.

He wanted to say it was fine, no need, leave it alone, he'd deal with it himself, no need to trouble anyone.

But he was too embarrassed to get the words out.

And somehow, the Female Zerg seemed to understand his hesitation and expression.

Or perhaps he misunderstood them.

In any case, Iso picked him up, placed him on the chair in front of the easel, and knelt down in front of him.

Lowering his head, Iso tucked the loose strands of hair behind his ear, his gaze serious and accommodating.

Hill had never imagined that the cold, unapproachable handsome guy who had seemed so difficult to approach when they first met could be so tolerant of him.

Never imagined that such rich emotions could appear on that cold face.

Sunset-colored blush spread across his cheeks, giving him a unique charm.

His Psychic Power became active again.

His psychic threshold rose to an unprecedented height.

Psychic threads danced and bounced as inspiration swelled and exploded, painting new images onto the canvas.

Moonlight.

Silent studio with all curtains open.

The Male Zerg with his back to the window.

The bowing Female Zerg.

And the Psychic Power dancing upon the canvas.】

Tears of envy flowed from the corners of the readers' mouths.

[Iso eats so well.]

[Yeah. He eats really well.]

[He's just an inexperienced military academy student. Can he appreciate it properly? Let me do it! (angry)]

[I wonder what Lord Hill's pheromones smell like. Is it too late to go downstairs and buy matching ice cream?]

[Definitely too late. Every ice cream shop nearby has already sold out. Fortunately, I ordered online in advance. Interstellar Express delivered it in five minutes.]

[Can you Female Zergs reading novels stop releasing pheromones?! It's the middle of the night, let bugs sleep! You're suffocating me!]

[I don't believe you aren't releasing pheromones too, unless you're incapable. (eye roll) Old Female Zergs in decline should move to nursing districts and let caretakers look after them.]

[No sleep tonight! Nobody sleeps! Let's party!]

[White Silver Star coordinates X220***. The Female Zergs upstairs, stop howling like ghosts! You don't even have Male Zergs, why are you screaming so loudly? I'm filing a noise complaint!]

That night, Public Security Bureaus all over the Federation received countless complaints.

So many they couldn't process them all.

Even off-duty law enforcement officers were forced back to work.

Receiving their notices, they cursed while pulling up their pants, closed the novel on their screens, grabbed their batons, and headed out.

Though they were unhappy about overtime, they worked with unusual enthusiasm.

...If they couldn't enjoy themselves, then no other Female Zergs could either.

Female Zergs weren't vegetarians.

Especially Female Zergs currently high on pheromones—they had the strongest territorial instincts.

When law enforcement came knocking, they first had to fight the Female Zergs before dragging them away.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

By dawn, every pheromone-flavored ice cream in roadside stores had sold out.

Female Zerg product shops across StarNet had received explosive orders.

Factories and shipping lines worked overtime and made fortunes.

Only the law enforcement teams suffered.

Forced to work overtime and fight naked Female Zergs running around with their birds out, they were seething with resentment. Their speed kicking down doors and drawing batons was three times faster than usual.

Things weren't any better on the Garuda side.

Especially aboard the frontline Garuda warships.

Garuda soldiers were secretly enjoying their forbidden novels when sudden news arrived—

The Zerg army had reached the border.

The Garuda commander was dumbfounded.

What army?

There had been no signs whatsoever!

Besides, wasn't the Zerg race currently undergoing a Marshal transition? Weren't they in chaos? Where had they found the manpower?

Scouts were immediately dispatched.

U-U-U-Ulysses's army?!

Accompanying them were Third Legion General Cyril and the Zerg ace unit "Shadow" along with their commander—what was his name again...

Ethan?

Iso?

The Garuda commander: "..."

He suddenly had the strong feeling that he had been set up.

He quickly requested reinforcements and ordered every Garuda soldier to wake up and prepare for battle.

Looking at the Garuda soldiers stumbling out in disheveled clothing after secretly reading banned novels in the middle of the night—

The commander was so angry he nearly coughed blood.

That feeling of being set up became even stronger.

Damn it!

It had to be a scheme jointly orchestrated by that Zerg author "An" and Ulysses!!!
