I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Just a dozen meters from the door, I arrived at the nearby park. Although it was dark, the streetlights were brightly lit, and each streetlight was quite close to the others.

For a moment, I couldn't tell if it was day or night.

Perhaps because it was during the evening rush hour, I encountered several insects with different hair colors in the park; some had short hair, and some had long hair.

Another insect walked towards us, with long orange hair, wearing a dark blue officer's uniform with a yellow braided sash on his chest, and a pair of black leather boots.

The soldier's demeanor was immediately apparent. When Chu Yang met his sharp gaze, he felt a little uneasy. Even though there was still some distance between them, he began to breathe cautiously.

Sensing the male lord's tension, Shen Nanxi gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

“Master, the one who just passed by was a female soldier. You can see she’s wearing a restraint ring around her neck. Don’t be too nervous.”

Chu Yang was indeed a little nervous when he passed by it, after all, soldiers have an aura that naturally exudes a sense of oppression.

"Why is he wearing a suppression ring? Isn't he a soldier... a female?"

Shen Nanxi turned her head and saw that the other person had already walked quite a distance before she whispered.

"The female soldiers are too powerful. They are put on suppression rings to prevent the male from being hurt when they are being tortured by him."

Speaking of being tortured, Chu Yang immediately thought of the torture instruments covering the basement walls, which further diminished his impression of these native male Zerg.

As they spoke, Shen Nanxi would occasionally steal glances at Chu Yang's reaction out of the corner of her eye, thankfully he wasn't interested in the thing.

As a doctor, he encountered mostly insects that were beaten to the point of near death because the female insects' recovery ability was suppressed by the inhibition ring.

People will have a deep-seated fear of inhibition rings. If they were to be fitted with one, they would not be able to endure it for long and would die.

There was still a height difference between Chu Yang and Shen Nanxi, and he could see all of Shen Nanxi's little actions.

After crossing the park, the male and female insects arrived at the other side of the road, where many insects had gathered. Looking at their colorful plumage, Chu Yang comforted himself and accepted the reality before him.

The Zerg have a vibrant nightlife. There are bars, dessert shops, restaurants, and arcades around the mall. Of course, in some dimly lit alleys, you can also hear screams and the sound of clubs clashing from time to time.

After browsing around, Shen Nanxi pointed to a restaurant with decent decor, tugged at Chu Yang's sleeve, and said with a smile.

"My lord, what do you think of this place?"

Shen Nanxi felt a little uneasy. This was the cheapest restaurant he could find, and he should have enough of the few thousand star coins he had left to pay for dinner tonight.

"Let's go with this one then."

The greeter at the door eagerly pushed open the restaurant door and led guests to a corner seat by the window.

"Your Excellency, are you satisfied with this position?"

"Satisfied. Do you have a menu?"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment."

Chu Yang pulled out a chair and gestured for Shen Nanxi to sit down, then sat down opposite him.

The waiter, who had returned, bent down and handed the menu to Chu Yang with both hands.

"You order, see what you want to eat."

The waiter's smiling face froze for a moment, his eyes darting back and forth between the two insects. The orange-haired sub-female was actually sitting down. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly turned the menu in his hand in a different direction.

Shen Nanxi accepted the menu with a somewhat flattered expression, and looked happily at Chu Yang sitting opposite her. Only after receiving his permission did she open the menu.

She was mentally prepared, but seeing the ever-increasing prices made Shen Nanxi's smile slightly awkward.

I read it from beginning to end, flipping through it two or three times. The cheapest item was a cup of specially prepared nutrient solution, but it was still two or three times more expensive than the packaged nutrient solution.

Shen Nanxi only ordered one special nutritional drink in the end, and handed the menu to Chu Yang with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"My lord, I've ordered. You may order now."

Chu Yang took the menu. Hmm, it was indeed quite expensive. He flipped to the page where he had spent the most time earlier, which featured a red wine steak baked rice dish. The picture looked quite tempting, and the price was also shocking.

"I'd like one of these, and one of these too, thank you."

Chu Yang politely closed the menu and handed it to the waiter next to him.

The waiter opened his eyes in surprise; he thought he had just heard the male insect say thank you to him.

Their smiles became even brighter, and their attitude became much more enthusiastic.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, the waiter briefly recounted the events, sparking curiosity among everyone about the polite male insect with short black hair.

"Alright, alright, stop looking, or you'll get a complaint. Hurry up and make it, Your Excellency is waiting to eat."

The boss was also very curious about the male insect the employee was talking about, so he personally brought over a glass of mixed juice.

"We didn't order this, did they serve the wrong thing?"

Chu Yang looked at the red juice in front of him and asked, just to avoid making a mistake and having to pay more.

"You are not mistaken, this is a gift for you."

"Thank you then."

You're welcome. Enjoy your meal.

The boss, with a smile on his face and looking somewhat dizzy, walked into the kitchen.

"What, boss? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Oh my, this is the first time in my life that a male insect has thanked me. Tonight's bill is half price."

The boss was thrilled. He quickly sat down and updated his status on the StarNet.

[This is the first time in my life that a male insect has said thank you!!!]

The location is their own restaurant.

Waiters who had similar experiences immediately liked the boss's post and shared the same content.

[Really? Probably a scam.]

[Seriously, all the staff in our store saw it. They didn't just tell me, they told the other staff members too. They were so polite!]

I've seen male insects before, but I've never seen a polite one. I'm going to go and meet one now.

Hey, count me in!

Wait for me, I'm coming too.

...

Chu Yang pushed the juice towards Shen Nanxi, a slight smile on his lips.

You drink it, I don't want to.

Shen Nanxi looked up in surprise at Chu Yang, who had a smile on his face.

"My lord, I..."

"I want to discuss something with you."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yang interrupted him and continued speaking in a gentle tone.

"Please stop calling me 'Master' from now on."

Although its body is that of a native insect, its core has been replaced, and it cannot fully accept everything here in a short time.

Shen Nanxi was secretly rejoicing that she had met a good male insect, but she didn't expect that the male would not want her.

Large tears fell from her eyes onto the table. Shen Nanxi quickly got up from her chair, knelt at Chu Yang's feet, and hugged his legs with both hands.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I don't have any money and can't afford your daily expenses, but I can earn money now. I'll get paid in a couple of days, and I'll transfer all of it to your name. My lord, please don't send me away."

Shen Nanxi's crying attracted the attention of the other insects around him, and Chu Yang awkwardly helped him up from the ground and sat him down.

"I'm not kicking you out, you've misunderstood. Please let me finish."

Upon hearing that they weren't being asked to leave, she calmed down, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks.

Seeing that Shen Nanxi was no longer agitated, Chu Yang quickly explained.

“What I mean is that you can use a different title. The title ‘Male Lord’ is too common and doesn’t show the special relationship between us.”

Chu Yang couldn't find any other excuse, so he could only make something up. He couldn't very well say that he couldn't accept men right now.

Shen Nanxi was a little confused. Didn't everyone call him the "Male Master"? Wasn't the special relationship between the two of them a male master and female servant? She didn't understand what the "Male Master" was saying.

"Everyone calls you Lord Xiong, so how would you like me to address you, Lord Xiong?"

Her eyes were red, and she pouted, looking at Chu Yang with a wronged expression.

Chu Yang already had his own ideas about how to address her, and he wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Nanxi's eyes with his sleeve.

"Call me brother."

"Brother? What does 'brother' mean? Does it mean 'the powerful ruler'?"

Shen Nanxi opened her moist eyes wide and tilted her head to ask curiously.
