Chapter 84: Heavenly Garuda Male x Zerg Military Officer (7): Do Female Zergs Really Sleep This Soundly During Their Courtship Period?

[Wasn't he the one who found that blind date for the Male? Then the moment they actually started talking, he couldn't stand it anymore. (Rolls eyes)]

[He definitely heard, "He doesn't treat you well." That hit him right where it hurt, and he exploded instantly.]

[Watching the Male go on a blind date with an older blue-eyed Female Zerg just like you... you were panicking, weren't you?]

[Enzo thinks he's too old and that the Male won't like him. So he filtered candidate after candidate according to the Male's requirements, only to find someone even older than himself, divorced with three hatchlings, and then that Female even misunderstood him as someone who mistreated the Male... Why go through all that trouble?]

[Exactly. Stop making things complicated. Just marry him yourself.]

[Speaking of marrying him yourself... how did you know my Male Lord showed me his wings to court me?]

[Nobody asked you!]

[Zero Zergs care!]

...

【When the Female Zerg finally left, the way he looked at Axel was full of concern.

It was as though he genuinely feared that Axel would be bullied by this non-biological Female Parent.

After leaving, he even used the contact information they had exchanged during the blind date to send Axel the emergency assistance hotline established by the Male Zerg Association, adding that if necessary, he could also help report it to the authorities.

Axel:

"..."

Every bit of that conversation was seen by Enzo.

Enzo let out a cold snort in annoyance.

In the end...

...he was really just getting angry at himself.

Axel quickly replied that there was no need, thanked him for his kindness, and added one more explanation—that the Zerg at home had no ill intentions toward him, that the blind date candidate had been selected according to his own preferences, and that he genuinely liked older partners.

After sending the message, regardless of how shocked the Female Zerg on the other side might have been, Axel closed the screen.

Then he looked up at the real...

...older, quiet, blue-eyed Female Zerg with over twenty years of experience raising hatchlings.

He said,

"You chased away my blind date."

"You have to compensate me."

A trace of bewilderment flashed across Enzo's face.

"I'm sorry. I... I'll find you another one."

"No."

"I want you to compensate me with yourself."

Lifting his chin proudly, Axel declared,

"You come on a blind date with me."

Enzo froze.

He...

Go on a blind date?

H-How could that possibly work?

But the Male had told him to compensate him.

To compensate him with himself.

After spending the entire afternoon upstairs watching the Male meet other Female Zergs...

...it had never once crossed his mind that he himself would end up sitting in that seat...

...going on a blind date with Axel.

Under Axel's steady gaze...

...Enzo finally sat down opposite him.

He had already done too many things today that had upset the Male.

If he still refused to make amends...

...the Male would never forgive him.

Only after seeing him sit down did Axel smile.

He also straightened his back, placed both hands neatly on the table, and for the first time looked forward to a blind date.

"Then, Mr. Enzo."

"Please tell me first..."

"What kind of Male Zerg are you looking for?"

Enzo had never thought about such things.

He couldn't answer.

So...

Axel typed onto his screen:

No requirements.

Then Axel asked,

"Do you like hatchlings?"

Looking at the Male sitting across from him...

...Enzo felt as though taking one more step would send him into an abyss.

"I mean little round eggs and soft little hatchlings."

Axel hurriedly explained.

Only then did Enzo relax.

Remembering what Axel had looked like as a hatchling, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"I do."

"Then..."

"How many hatchlings do you plan to have?"

Axel asked while continuing to type.

Enzo froze.

His brain instantly shut down.

Axel urged him,

"Come on, answer."

"This question is really important."

"It affects the harmony of a marriage."

Enzo opened his mouth.

Looking at Axel, he hesitated before saying,

"One?"

"Just one?"

"You don't want a few more?"

"They'd look like you..."

"...and look like me..."

"...I mean..."

"...like your Male Lord."

Axel had spoken too naturally and accidentally bit his tongue before hurriedly correcting himself.

A hatchling who looked like Axel...

...was undeniably attractive.

Enzo found himself imagining it.

But in the end, he still shook his head.

"I don't want many."

"One is enough."

"I still have to take care of my Axel."

Axel:

"..."

Damn!

Why is he so good at flirting?!

His cheeks reddened slightly.

Pretending to remain composed, he continued asking,

"Then do you have any other requirements?"

"For example..."

"How should we address each other?"

"What should we call each other during intimate moments?"

"Sleeping in the same room..."

"How many times each week..."

"The Male Zerg's si—"

"That's enough, Axel."

The Male's questions were becoming increasingly outrageous.

Enzo had no choice but to interrupt him.

Every single question the Male asked caused a corresponding image to appear inside his head.

He couldn't sit still anymore.

His chest felt unbearably hot.

"Let's stop here for today."

"Let's go home."

Enzo suggested.

Axel huffed twice, clearly dissatisfied.

"You still haven't asked me..."

"...what kind of Female Zerg I like."

There was no need to ask.

Enzo already knew perfectly well.

Today's blind dates had completely confirmed Axel's feelings.

Perhaps...

...they had also confirmed his own.

He truly couldn't bear to see his Male disappointed.

There were moments...

...when he wanted to give himself to him.

If...

...that was what Axel truly wanted.

He wanted his wish to come true.

"Let's go home."

Enzo repeated.

Left with no choice, Axel reluctantly ended the only blind date he had truly wanted before following him home.

"You won't make me go on blind dates anymore..."

"...right?"

Walking behind him, Axel tugged lightly on his sleeve.

"I won't."

Only then did Axel brighten up.

He was actually very easy to comfort.

As long as Enzo didn't reject him...

...and didn't ask him to be with someone else...

...he was happy.

...】**

[He's such a sweet, well-behaved little Male... Enzo, how can you bear this?]

[He's just being stubborn. He ran over, chased away the Male's blind date, then occupied the blind date seat himself. At this point, just admit it already—you simply can't bear letting the Male marry someone else.]

[You've already gone on the blind date together. Why not spend the courtship period together too?]

[That lucky bastard Enzo.]

[Speaking of that lucky bastard... how did you know my Male Lord showed me his wings—]

[Are you a Zerg-bot? Zero Zergs care about your wing courtship! (Angry)]

[One chapter from An-shen turned half the Female Zergs in the Federation into Zerg-bots that can only say "Male Lord," "wings," and "courtship."]

[Not half.]

[That hurt.]

...

【After finishing dinner, Axel obediently returned to his own room.

After washing up, he climbed into bed, opened his terminal, and wanted to ask the people online whether there were any other ways to win over a Female Zerg.

Suddenly...

...he caught the scent of pheromones.

Sunlight...

...and sea breeze.

Enzo's pheromones.

Axel immediately climbed out of bed and hurried outside.

Following the scent, he arrived at Enzo's bedroom door and cautiously knocked.

No response.

Carefully, Axel pressed down on the doorknob.

It wasn't locked.

Enzo never locked him out.

Quietly pushing the door open just a crack...

...the scent of pheromones became even stronger.

The room was completely dark.

Only a thin beam of light entered through the doorway.

It stretched all the way to the foot of the bed.

The blankets were piled together.

He could vaguely make out the Female Zerg lying there, overheated, with the front of his robe hanging wide open.

Axel swallowed nervously.

He remembered that Enzo's courtship period had arrived early.

Enzo's courtship period had begun.

He needed a Male Zerg.

If no one helped him...

...something might happen.

He'd...

...he'd be miserable!

It might even affect his mental state!

This was very important!

Axel didn't dare make a sound.

Covering both his mouth and nose, he carefully tiptoed into the room.

Covering his face couldn't block pheromones.

What he wanted to hide...

...was the sound of his own breathing.

He was afraid Enzo would wake up...

...discover him...

...and throw him out.

Holding his breath, he quietly reached the bedside.

He was astonished.

A military Female Zerg who was usually so perceptive hadn't noticed him approaching.

But seeing Enzo's current condition...

...he could understand why.

The Female Zerg lay flat on his back.

His face was flushed.

The front of his thin black night robe hung wide open, revealing the wheat-colored skin beneath.

It was indescribably alluring.

He looked...

...as though he were inviting someone.

Axel's breathing became heavier.

Enzo's pheromones affected him tremendously.

The sight of Enzo lying before him affected him even more.

The only reason he had endured until now...

...was because he was afraid of being thrown out.

He absolutely couldn't let Enzo discover him and chase him away.

He had to finish everything...

...before Enzo woke up.

The Zergs online had offered him countless suggestions.

The central idea behind all of them was simple—

Be decisive.

Be fast.

Be accurate.

Be ruthless.

Pin him down and go for it!

Axel gently held Enzo's ankle and spread his legs apart.

His eyes remained fixed on Enzo's face.

No reaction.

He hadn't been discovered.

Leaning down...

...he noticed pheromones flowing everywhere.

"Enzo..."

He softly called beside the Female Zerg's face.

His warm breath brushed against him.

The Female Zerg kept his eyes tightly shut.

There was no response.

The corners of Axel's lips curved upward.

In an even softer voice, he called,

"Female Lord."

This time...

...Enzo frowned slightly.

Axel immediately covered his own mouth and focused on his work.

So many pheromones.

There were too many to wipe away.

Axel wiped them with the hem of Enzo's night robe before guiltily lifting it aside and leaving it bunched up nearby.

Enzo was so handsome.

Axel admired him as he rested one hand against him for support.

At the same time, he couldn't help wondering...

Do Female Zergs really sleep this soundly during their courtship period?】**

The Female Zerg readers were dumbfounded.

[You can actually do it like this? What on earth is Enzo thinking?]

[Is this his way of giving himself to the Male? Pretend to be unconscious so he can pretend he never participated?]

[It's probably because he couldn't get over that mental hurdle the first time.]

[Since when do Female Zergs become corpses during courtship periods? Seriously, stop misleading innocent little Males.]

[Being able to play dead like that is a skill. Most Zergs couldn't pull it off.]

[As expected of the greatest endurance Zerg alive. That level of self-control really isn't something ordinary Zergs possess.]

[Exactly. On the battlefield, I can get stabbed without making a sound. But if a Male Zerg "stabs" me, I'll start crying out immediately and won't be able to stop.]

[How could he bear making the little Male do all the work?]

[He's even the "Female Lord." He accepted being called that, then just lay there waiting for the Male to serve him. (Rolls eyes)]

[Heavenly Garuda people, look! Our Zerg really has produced a Heavenly Garuda traitor.]

[My Male Lord, wings, courtship.]

[Yeah, yeah. Go play somewhere else.]

...

【Suddenly, Axel felt something itching on his back.

Confused, he reached behind himself.

He felt something emerging.

His wings spread open.

A pair of pinkish-purple wings unfolded behind him...

...dreamlike and beautiful.

Axel froze.

For Heavenly Garuda males...

...their wings were practically a self-defense mechanism.

Normally, when a Heavenly Garuda male was overwhelmed with terror...

...he would reveal his wings to please the invader...

...protecting himself.

But...

Axel wasn't afraid now.

He had been a little nervous when entering Enzo's room...

...but nowhere near frightened.

He knew Enzo would never hurt him.

Now...

...he was even less afraid.

Enzo's insides were so soft.

There were so many pheromones.

Thinking that...

Axel lowered his head...

...only to meet Enzo's suddenly opened eyes.

"??!"

Axel immediately began frantically flapping his wings.
