Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

It was truly beyond Adrian's expectations that he could stay in Morris's mental sea for so long.

Adrian's mental strength level is only B. Morris calculated the time for him. Male insects have always had a low tolerance. Even if Adrian can endure it, he can only stay in Morris's mental sea for a maximum of five minutes.

But he was gone for almost half an hour. If Maurice hadn't forced him to leave at the last minute, Adrian could have stayed inside much longer.

This far exceeds what a Grade B male insect should be like.

Morris frowned, pressing down on the back of Adrian's head and unconsciously increasing the pressure in his hand.

Adrian pushed his forehead forward slightly, but felt nothing; he remained in a deep sleep. Morris loosened his grip, and Adrian's posture while holding him as he slept was natural, as if he were already used to such intimate contact between them.

But they had only just gotten married.

Before the Insect Emperor issued the order, Adrian may not have even noticed Maurice's existence.

Morris sighed softly. He hadn't had much contact with Adrian, and Adrian really shouldn't remember him.

Morris, however, had seen Adrian in his impoverished state. One glance was enough to etch the image deeply into his mind, and it was also stored in the core memories of his spiritual sea.

Violence, bloodshed, poverty... these things have ravaged Adrian, leaving him emaciated. Maurice doesn't want him to see what he used to look like.

Morris knew very well that Adrian, this male insect, was extremely proud. If he could see himself back then in Morris's mental world, he would probably faint from anger on the spot.

But for some reason, Maurice remembered those images.

At that time, he was just an ordinary female soldier in the army. He had just returned from the front line and went to the slums to participate in rescue work in order to accumulate military merits.

Violence was rampant in the slums, which had become a haven for many high-ranking criminals. Prince Sean had noticed the unrest in the area earlier and had specifically dispatched elite female soldiers from the Seventh Army to the slums to suppress the riots and arrest criminals.

In addition, they are also responsible for rescuing the male insects that are trapped in the slum swamp.

High-ranking male Zerg are the treasures of the Empire, carrying the future of the entire Zerg race.

Although Morris scoffed at these words, under the oppression of the male-dominated social system, he still had to kneel and bow to the male insect.

Male insects are despicable and ugly creatures. They are selfish and greedy. They suck the blood of female insects for nourishment, yet they still trample on their backs to achieve a false glory.

Maurice had no expectations of them until he saw Adrian being carried in on a stretcher.

Adrian didn't resemble a male insect at all. He was covered in blood and grime, looking as if he had just been dug out of a mud pit, with mud all over his arms and knees.

Morris was standing by and watching when Adrian was reportedly attacked by thugs and beaten so badly he was almost unrecognizable.

The stretcher carrying him ran quickly past Maurice, and in that brief moment, Maurice only caught a glimpse of Adrian's limp, unconscious arm.

He was emaciated, with a pale skin covering his bones.

Morris looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away.

The later diagnosis revealed that Adrian had broken both arms and his right kneecap was completely shattered. He also had a long, deep cut near his eye, which affected the nerves around his eye, so Adrian kept his eyes tightly closed and dared not open them.

The female insect doctor in charge of treating him was overjoyed. Adrian was a B-grade male insect, which was considered high-grade among male insects.

They arranged for him to be treated by the best doctors.

Morris took it all in. Leaning against the wall, he thought that Adrian had actually benefited from the misfortune. In the future, he could use his status as a B-grade male insect to move to the Imperial Star and start a life of ease.

Indeed, Prince Sean had taken care of everything for Adrian.

The journey from the desolate planet to the imperial planet was quite long, and Adrian had been receiving treatment on the warship during this time.

High-ranking female soldiers in the army were required to take turns caring for Adrian, and Maurice was among them. Maurice lowered his head and smoked, feeling incredibly unlucky when it was his turn in turn.

The male Zerg is violent and always looking for trouble; with just a few words, he can send Morris to the Male Zerg Protection Association to receive hundreds of light whips.

Suppressing his discomfort, Morris prepared the food for the male insects and delivered it to Adrian.

He heard Adrian sobbing right at the door.

"I...I can't see...Am I going blind?"

"I didn't do anything to them, why did they hit me? My eyes hurt..."

"It's alright, Your Excellency. You've only experienced temporary blindness; you'll recover soon." The doctor who treated Adrian was an experienced old man. He applied medicine around Adrian's eyes, wrapped them in medical bandages, and prepared to leave.

Adrian was clearly dissatisfied with the doctor's answer. After the old doctor left, he suddenly smashed the glass next to him against the wall.

Maurice happened to walk in, the glass shattered, and shards landed all over his uniform. He glanced down at it, then continued walking toward Adrian.

“Sir, it’s time for your meal.” Morris approached Adrian, whose arms were both broken and whose right leg was splinted. Adrian leaned against the wall silently, looking rather gloomy.

Morris didn't make a move either. After nearly three minutes, Adrian silently turned his head.

Morris understood what he meant, and he scooped up a spoonful of white porridge with diced meat and fed it to Adrian.

Adrian quieted down again during the meal, neither crying nor making a fuss. He ate one spoonful after another as Morris fed him, and although he paused a few times in the middle, he did not do anything strange.

"I'm sorry." After finishing his meal, Adrian leaned back in his seat and suddenly said this to Maurice out of the blue.

Morris paused in wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

He looked at Adrian, who actually had very good features. Although he looked bruised and battered and looked pathetic, his facial features were soft and he had a head of slightly curly white hair. If nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely grow into a good male insect.

Morris's fingertips accidentally touched Adrian's cheek, and perhaps because he had been crying not long ago, the heat on his face had not yet dissipated.

Morris withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, it's alright."

Adrian... is a male insect that won't be too bad.

In him, Morris could see certain qualities that the other males did not possess.

Morris put his arm around Adrian. Adrian's quality of life had indeed improved a lot since he moved to the Imperial Star. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was no longer the skin and bones he used to be.
