Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Adrian wasn't picky about food, but after living with Maurice, he started eating a wider variety of things.

Despite her serious and aloof demeanor and apparent inability to cook, Maurice, a female insect, is actually a first-rate cook, and reportedly even won first prize in an academy cooking competition.

Adrian could hardly imagine Maurice's expression when he received the award; he would probably be indifferent, standing on the podium with a blank face and not saying a word.

Adrian took a few bites of the meat bones on his plate, then remembered what Morris had said earlier and found Morris's latest interview video on StarNet to watch.

The interview was brief, mostly concerning the alien beasts of the desolate planet. Morris wore a regular military uniform, but due to his special status as a legion commander, he wore a gold badge on his chest that signified his rank. The silver buckle and gold badge complemented each other, occasionally shimmering with a subtle luster.

Adrian watched the video while eating. This interview with Morris was ten days ago, when he had already accepted the Insect Emperor's order to marry him to Adrian.

On the surface, no emotion was visible about him. Morris's expression was indifferent, and the lines of his military uniform were neat, with even the folds having just the right texture, as if it had been deliberately arranged.

Edley watched silently for a few minutes. The interview was short, lasting only about five minutes.

Adrian retrieved the quantum computer and searched for a long time before finally finding a documentary from the military from five years ago.

Morris rarely gives interviews. He spends most of his time clearing out alien beasts on other planets, and when Adrian searched for more information about him on the StarNet, he only found this documentary from five years ago.

Morris became a legion commander at the age of eighteen. This year he is twenty-two. If we go back five years... he should still be an ordinary female soldier in the military.

Adrian's eyes flashed, and he clicked on the documentary, intending to watch it as something to watch while eating.

This military documentary features a large number of female soldiers and is quite long, lasting a full fifteen hours. Adrian read the synopsis; the documentary's main purpose was to provide the Zerg public with a brief introduction to military life.

This is essentially the same as their recruitment video from back then. Although it's too long, it can attract more female insects to join the legion.

Adrian searched for Maurice's name in the documentary and only watched the segments related to him.

Since Maurice became a legionary commander at the age of eighteen, he must have already distinguished himself five years ago. Adrian had never seen him as a private, and now he wanted to see what he looked like back then.

I guess it went from a cold face to a slightly cold face.

The video content changed rapidly, and based on Adrian's search metrics, the video automatically jumped to an interface related to Morris.

It's like a legion competition.

A partition wall was erected at the edge of the military training ground, and the female soldiers stood in several rows, according to their assigned numbers in their respective legion areas. All the legions' flags were the same color, but the totem emblems on the flags were all different, and they all flew in the air.

Several matches had already taken place, but it was still Maurice's turn. At that time, Maurice was just sitting in the Seventh Army's stands watching the matches, with the surveillance cameras occasionally sweeping across his face.

Adrian deliberately magnified his face.

Maurice looked much younger back then than he does now. His features were already angular, but the lines weren't as sharp as they are now. His purple eyes were bright and lively, and there was a faint, enigmatic smile on his lips.

Adrian, gritting his teeth and lost in thought, suddenly smiled...

Morris left the stands midway through the game. The big screen showed that the next match was between him and Colin, and the cameras, sensing something unusual, kept switching between their faces.

Morris found a corner and lit a cigarette. He smoked with practiced ease, holding the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, the butt of which was bright red. He rested his arms on the railing of the stands, exhaling a ring of smoke as his eyes were half-closed.

Adrian: "..."

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the previous match also came to a conclusion. As the end bell rang and the announcement for the next round of matches sounded, Maurice stubbed out his cigarette.

"The next match will be between Morris of the Seventh Army and Colin of the Tenth Army!"

The host's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the venue. Cheers erupted from the audience. Morris and Colin, the best of their respective legions, were finally witnessing this long-awaited competition between the female legions.

Colin had arrived at the stone arena ahead of time, while Morris was a minute or two behind and didn't get into the arena until a minute or two later.

Previously, when Maurice stood in the shadows, Adrian hadn't noticed anything different about him. Now, standing casually in the sunlight of the quarry, Adrian could immediately see what he was wearing.

There were none of the rules we have now. The military uniform jackets were loose, and the white shirts underneath were only buttoned up to the abdomen, with the fabric wrinkled at the top, partially revealing the chest muscles underneath.

Adrian: "..."

"Good day, Colin." Morris smiled casually and bowed to Colin in a military greeting.

Colin then returned the salute to Maurice as a sign of mutual respect. Adrian also took a closer look at Colin's attire and noticed that Colin was still wearing his military uniform according to standard requirements, just as he had been doing now, with a predominantly serious demeanor.

Only Maurice pretended in front of him.

Adrian chewed on the crunchy bone in his mouth and continued reading.

The duel between the two S-class female insects was like a storm passing by. The spiritual energy that spun from the center of the arena cleaved through the boulders, and the entire screen was covered by a hazy sandstorm.

Adrian found it increasingly entertaining to watch, so he sped up the viewing to see what followed. Along the way, he only saw the wings of the two female insects being torn apart by the yellow sand.

Perhaps due to his own characteristics, Maurice's wings were pure black, covered with golden stripes. Colin's wings were the complete opposite of Maurice's; his outstretched wings were pure white, and although they were not quite the same as Maurice's, they were also covered with a layer of golden totem patterns on the back.

Adrian couldn't see the details of their battle at all. Dust billowed up on the field, and amidst the cheers of the female soldiers, the two figures crashed straight into the wall of the megalithic arena.

Adrian only saw the two figures tumbling together, colliding, tearing, and pounding, smashing a deep pit into the stone wall that spread outwards like a spider web.

"Colin, do you submit or not? Huh?" Black blood trickled down Morris's face from his forehead. His brows furrowed, revealing a ferocious, beast-like side. He used all his strength to press Colin to the ground, restricting his movement.

Colin's uniform was already torn and bleeding, his lips were split, and he grabbed Morris by the collar and slammed him to the side.
