Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Colin and Adrian looked similar on the quantum computer; they were dressed in neat and tidy military uniforms, exuding a meticulous air.

Some of the differences must be innate in female insects. Morris can now wear his military uniform quite well, but the shirt at the chest is always tight, and Adrian can see through his disguise and deliberate suppression.

Colin's similar attire suited him perfectly, exuding a serious and aloof aura. When he saw Adrian, he frowned slightly, a hint of impatience already lurking in his eyes.

The data on the red card, which was barely surviving, had reached its peak. It withdrew all its brilliance and hid in Adrian's pocket, not daring to make any big moves.

The energy fluctuations are so large now, it's clear there's something unusual going on. But Adrian hasn't seen anything else strange yet, he's only met the protagonist, Sean.

The creature, struggling to survive, was somewhat puzzled. Unable to perceive the situation outside, it could only subtly poke Adrian's soft flesh on his waist with a red card.

This place is not safe to stay in for long; we need to find a way to leave quickly.

Adrian completely ignored the message of his subservient status. He glanced between Colin and Sean, showing no intention of leaving for the time being.

In his previous life, Colin was on the same side as Sean. Colin was conservative and wouldn't easily betray him. After they became enemies, he was always in charge of war affairs.

Adrian had an extremely bad impression of Colin.

After Maurice's death, Adrian used nearly 30,000 female soldiers to capture Colin. After capturing Colin alive, Adrian gouged out his eyes, removed his wings, broke his limbs, and finally threw him into a mass grave.

But Colin actually survived under those circumstances.

Now, as Adrian recalls the magical events of his past life, he realizes that these events were all far too far-fetched.

Sean can live without a heart, and Colin can live even after being reduced to a useless bug and thrown into a mass grave.

Why were only he and Maurice unable to survive?

Adrian felt a surge of frustration. He glanced at Colin, but before he could speak, Colin bowed to Adrian and said, "Your Excellency, I have other matters to attend to. Please allow me to leave first."

“Okay.” Adrian replied briefly. He had little contact with Colin in his previous life and had no intention of contacting him in this one.

Colin quickly left after receiving permission. Adrian didn't seem to care much; he glanced at Sean and realized that Sean indeed had no intention of leaving.

“Adrian, I’m going back too, it’s on my way.” Sean’s tone was always calm. He had already prepared his words and walked with Adrian toward the entrance of the military compound.

Adrian felt unlucky to walk next to Sean, whose expression remained unchanged, and he simply kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word as they walked.

“Adrian, is this your new outfit? I rarely see you in black.” Sean seemed oblivious to the almost stagnant atmosphere between them. He turned his red eyes to Adrian, his gaze settling on the all-black suit Adrian was wearing.

Adrian walked at the same pace and casually replied, "Yeah, I just bought it, it's comfortable to wear."

Sean chuckled, looking at Adrian with an ambiguous tone: "You used to like yellow, and you always wore yellow. This outfit doesn't suit your skin tone."

Adrian: "..."

There was a reason why Adrian killed Sean, that dead worm. Besides the old grudges that had accumulated long ago, there were countless new ones.

Because of their similar eyes, Sean took Adrian as a substitute for his queen...

Why does Adrian wear yellow? Because Sean's queen loves yellow, and he often wears bright orange-yellow clothes.

Sean then gave Adrian countless identical outfits, the meaning of which was self-evident: he hoped, or was demanding, that Adrian wear these clothes that Sean had carefully selected for him.

Adrian's house was filled with a bunch of strange things. Shoes that didn't fit him, trousers that dragged on the ground, and all sorts of yellowish-brown shirts.

Adrian was just a male insect who had fled from a desolate planet, and he was constantly threatened by Sean.

Sean wanted Adrian to be his female substitute, but he never considered whether Adrian was willing.

Adrian is a male insect, and his height, physique, and every other aspect are vastly different from those of the female insects. Sean made him wear yellow clothes, and even wanted to perform modification surgery on Adrian because his physique was different from that of his female counterpart.

Adrian dared not close his eyes when he slept at night. When he was sleepless in the middle of the night, he would stare at the darkness above, and in his daze, he seemed to smell a rotting odor coming from somewhere.

—That was his tormented soul filled with hatred.

Adrian's escape from Sean's surveillance came during a natural disaster. At that time, the planet Imperial was hit by a once-in-a-century blizzard, with snow blocking roads, causing landslides in the frigid mountains, and killing countless male and female insects.

The Insect Emperor sought feasible relief measures. Adrian had lived in a slum in his early years, and the desolate planet was prone to disasters, so he also had ways to cope with blizzards.

Adrian then presented his proposal to the Insect Emperor. Male Insects were precious within the Insect race, and the use of underground heated chambers would ensure that male Insects were not harmed by the cold. Meanwhile, female Insects would be responsible for the repair work on the surface. With two lines of work running in parallel, most of the losses were reduced.

This audience allowed Adrian to make a name for himself on the Imperial Star. His name was no longer a blank slate hidden by Sean, but slowly became widely known.

The Insect Emperor greatly praised Adrian, not only bestowing upon him a large amount of wealth but also granting him special permission to enter the royal court and participate in clerical work.

Adrian finally had his own freedom. He left Sean and the next day went back to his room and threw all the ill-fitting rags into the trash can.

Adrian lowered his eyes and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small section of his fair wrist.

He looked at Sean and said, "Your Highness, you're mistaken. I don't like wearing yellow; I prefer black. Since you like yellow so much, why don't you just wear it yourself?"

The smile on Sean's lips faded slightly. He paused for a moment before saying, "Adrian, it was wrong of me to lock you in the basement before, but you need to face the reality."

He lowered his voice, speaking with a pointed tone: "The Insect Emperor has been ill for some time, and the royal physicians are still treating him; it has been nearly three months."

Adrian raised his green eyes, a half-smile on his face: "Your Highness, His Majesty is long-lived; he can live for several hundred more years."

Sean smiled but remained silent. Adrian, always quick-witted, must have already understood the meaning behind his words.

When the Insect Emperor dies and Sean ascends the throne, he will be the next Insect Emperor.

“Adrian, Morris isn’t right for you. You need to think about what to do.” Sean looked up at the sky, his voice lowering and becoming colder. “I won’t wait for you forever.”
