Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

We finally managed to escape the storm by sheer luck. Although it was a near-death experience, thankfully, we survived the last bit of life.

Just when we thought we had finally survived, a series of croaking sounds suddenly came from the direction of the sound. I quickly looked towards the source of the sound.

A giant frog hopped toward them.

When I saw the frog, I almost cried. I had finally escaped, and what a coincidence that I ran into a frog?

As the frog croaked happily and hopped toward me, I suddenly remembered what I had learned in class.

Frogs generally do not like dry environments. They usually live near water or in places with high humidity. Frogs have many cells in their skin that secrete body fluids to keep their skin moist so that their physiology can function normally.

Why do frogs croak so happily after the rain? It's because the frogs feel very happy and comfortable, which is why they croak so happily.

Moreover, only male frogs croak; besides the comfort of croaking, croaking during the breeding season is also a way to attract mates.

I can understand all of that. After all, it's normal for frogs to croak happily after the rain. But what I don't understand is, isn't it winter now?

Even in the south, where the weather isn't cold, frogs still hibernate, right? How come a frog suddenly appeared?

My worldview has completely collapsed. What is all this? Is this still the world I know?

I watched as the frog charged towards me, swallowed hard, and asked with difficulty, "Why are there frogs at this time? Shouldn't they be hibernating?"

"Maybe...it's insomnia," the soldier ant, whom we call the soldier brother, said in disbelief.

As we chatted, the frog slowly hopped towards us. Its casual leap sent up countless splashes of water, making the ground tremble as if it were a heavy tank.

Oh no, could I be that unlucky? Did I get eaten by a frog that came out looking for food?

Just when I thought the frog was coming to eat us, it unexpectedly flew over our heads and stopped with a thud in front of a small, skinny frog.

"Croak, croak... Zhang Cuihua, I knew you'd come." The male frog that flew over our heads said in a very domineering manner.

I don't know if it didn't see us or if it really was a pre-arranged meeting with the female frog after the rain.

"Zhao Tiezhu, let me tell you, I will never fall in love with you. I came here just to tell you this: give up on that idea!" the female frog, Zhang Cuihua, said angrily.

"Really? Do you know who I am? I'm the Frog Prince. I've contracted all the rice paddies in this area. Do you think you can escape?" Zhao Tiezhu said domineeringly, displaying the demeanor of a domineering CEO.

It just feels so awkward to hear a frog say it, and why does this line sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

"Zhao Tiezhu, let me tell you, don't even think about it. I'm here to tell you that there's no possibility between us," Zhang Cuihua said angrily, then turned around and tried to jump away.

"Wait a minute..." Zhao Tiezhu stopped Zhang Cuihua and said unhappily.

"Are you really going to reject me? I'm a prince. I wake up every day in a hole that's only one square meter in size. The finest moths fly into my mouth, and I drink the purest, unpolluted well water. My life is rich and peaceful. Do you really want to reject me?" The frog prince, Zhao Tiezhu, was clearly unhappy.

“You’re too arrogant. Power can’t buy love,” Zhang Cuihua said resolutely.

Hearing this, I really wanted to applaud. This sentence truly resonated with me: money and power cannot buy love.

“But you can’t leave either.” Zhao Tiezhu then pressed Zhang Cuihua to the ground.

Holy crap, other people use wall slams or bed slams, but this Frog Prince is so creative, he just went straight for a floor slam.

"What... what do you want to do?" the mother frog asked nervously.

I was on tenterhooks when I saw that mother frog. Was Zhao Tiezhu going to resort to force instead of gentle persuasion? In broad daylight, under the clear sky, is there no law left?

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to tell you that I love you," Zhao Tiezhu said domineeringly.

As the saying goes, the love trilogy consists of a wall slam, a forceful kiss, and sex, instantly captivating all girls.

They've already pinned them against the wall, is this a forced kiss? I suddenly had a very strange thought: if frogs were to French kiss, would their tongues intertwine and form a bow?

"I'm not doing anything. I just want to tell you that love is only said once, and the rest is shown through actions," Zhao Tiezhu said domineeringly.

What a beast! He only said it once, and the rest he showed it through his actions. So love isn't something you say, it's something you do?

Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice left? I was watching from the sidelines and I felt my anger rising.

"Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart," Zhang Cuihua said in despair.

I even closed my eyes. I knew an extraordinary human tragedy was about to unfold. What followed was a scene that children couldn't watch. I wanted to save them, but there was nothing I could do.

"Zhang Cuihua, am I really so unworthy of your love?" the male frog Zhao Tiezhu shouted angrily.

I never expected that Zhao Tiezhu would actually be a gentleman, and that he didn't make a move. He certainly didn't tarnish the royal family's reputation.

Zhang Cuihua closed her eyes and didn't say a word, as if she had prepared herself for despair.

"Since that's the case, then I'll ask you one last time, do you want it or not?" Zhao Tiezhu shouted angrily.

"No!" Zhang Cuihua cried out without hesitation.

"Stop or not?" Zhao Tiezhu asked, placing his hand on Zhang Cuihua's stomach.

"Stop," Zhang Cuihua continued to refuse.

Seeing this, I was deeply moved by Cuihua's unwavering spirit. She truly is a valiant woman—or rather, a fiercely independent frog.

"Since that's the case, you forced me to do this." After saying that, Zhao Tiezhu released the female frog.

Just as I smiled victoriously, Zhang Cuihua also felt her victory.

Suddenly, the frog prince Zhao Tiezhu grabbed Zhang Cuihua with both arms and said domineeringly, "You said you didn't want my left hand?"

"I'm using my right hand, you say stop."

"Then I'll use both hands."

"Does that mean we shouldn't stop?"

Before we could even process what he meant, Frog Prince Zhao Tiezhu kissed Zhang Cuihua...
