Zerg: Seduction! A brutal and insane female Zerg dotes on me.

Elia's life, both fortunate and unfortunate, was all because of Elke.

To ensure the purity of their bloodline, the Clarence family never selects a male insect from outside the family; the female is chosen when the insect is still an egg.

Elke appears gentle and refined, but beneath that carefully crafted facade lies his true nature: an instinctive possessiveness towards male insects.

Elijah was, to him, the only pure land in this decaying and devastated world, as white and flawless as the boundless snow of the far north.

He doted on Elijah, showering him with love and raising him according to his own wishes, showering him with tenderness, but also utterly crushing his freedom.

As a treasure of the Zerg continent, Elia never really had a choice. From the day he was born, he was carefully raised in Clarence Manor, and the farthest he ever walked was between the front and back gates of the manor.

His world has always been a square, and his entire insectoid life is named Elk.

Elijah's light brown eyes lit up when she received Yan Kai's response. She released Elke's sleeve, stood up, patted the seat next to her, and said with a hint of excitement mixed with shyness, "You, you can sit here."

Elke raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Elia had never been so proactive with a strange insect before.

She looked up and smiled at Yan Kai, saying, "Elia likes you very much."

"It's my pleasure." Yan Kai bowed politely and continued, "May I sit over there?"

Elia is the male master of Elk. According to the current rules, the male insect belongs to the female insect and needs to consult the master's opinion.

Elke was more than happy to oblige: "Of course."

After saying this, he glanced at his pocket watch. The sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, and he had to leave temporarily.

He patted Elijah on the shoulder and patiently asked, "I'm leaving now. Could you please take care of them for me?"

Elijah glanced at Yan Kai, nodded vigorously, and as if afraid he wouldn't believe her, added, "Don't worry, I can do it."

Elke chuckled and stroked the male insect's soft, fluffy fur, teasingly asking, "You like Yan Kai that much?"

Elijah blushed slightly. Although she felt embarrassed, she didn't deny it and timidly replied, "Mm!"

He has a little secret.

Elke has always claimed to be an A-grade male insect, but in reality he is an S-grade.

He could sense the fluctuations in the male insect's mental energy to judge its emotions. Most male insects were always irritable and impatient, which Elijah disliked, while Yan Kai gave him a very gentle feeling.

Yan Kai noticed Elia's gaze and smiled at him again in a friendly manner.

The little guy's reaction was quite interesting; his face instantly turned red, as shy as an earthly girl.

Elke touched Elia's cheek: "I'm leaving first. You stay with Yan Kai and the others. If there's anything urgent that you can't handle, send an insect to find me behind the altar."

Elijah obediently agreed.

Elke said goodbye to Yan Kai and Harwick again: "Please look after them for me, I have to go now."

Yan Kai patted his chest and said, "Go ahead without worry."

Elke then hurriedly left.

The three sat down, two of them not very familiar with each other, and one socially awkward, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Harwick couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he raised his hand to his lips, pretended to cough, and looked at Yan Kai.

--say!

Yan Kai glanced at him indifferently.

--say what?

Harwick rested his chin on his hand and coughed lightly twice more.

—You think so.

Yan Kai raised an eyebrow.

--Won't.

Harwick coughed a series of coughs.

Where is your usual sharp tongue?

Yan Kai turned his head away, deciding to ignore him.

Harwick panicked: "Cough cough cough cough—"

Although Elia wasn't good at socializing, seeing how badly he was coughing, she quickly pushed the teapot on the table towards him, stammering nervously, "Drink, drink water!"

Harwick awkwardly took the kettle and pretended to pour himself a glass: "Thank you."

"Not so polite."

The silence was broken.

Elijah didn't become so reserved.

She glanced at Yan Kai, rubbed her hands together, and pushed her favorite pastry plate toward them: "Let's eat together. It's low in sugar, so it won't be greasy at all."

Yan Kai, who was keen to get close to Clarence, naturally wouldn't refuse. He picked up a piece and examined it in his hand. It was a light pink color, pressed into a flower shape, somewhat like a combination of roses and cherry blossoms. It was small and exquisite, unlike food from Longkoda.

Elia had little experience with insects, but she was very good at observing them. Seeing Yan Kai's confusion, she explained in a low voice, "This is a specialty of Morbis. It's a dessert made with a flower called thorn cherry."

Yan Kai clenched his fingers. He remembered Morbis, the capital of the Zerg continent.

"Lonkoda Xueduo, I've almost forgotten what flowers look like."

Harwick stuffed a mouthful of pastries into his mouth and mumbled, "Snowflakes are flowers too, they're just like that."

Yan Kai clicked his tongue inwardly and stuffed the pastry in his hand directly into his mouth.

Even eating won't stop the flow!

Elijah held the teacup in both hands, sipping it slowly, glancing at Yan Kai and then at Harwick, a look of envy on her face.

He had never spoken to a bug so brazenly before.

Even Elke didn't have it.

Yan Kai noticed the male insect's dejection and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Are you missing Elke?"

Elijah quickly put down his cup, shaking his head vigorously: "No, no, I, I envy the atmosphere between you and Harwick."

Yan Kai met the male insect's gaze; his eyes were as clear as glass, as if they had never been tainted by the world.

I really don't know what method Elke used to raise this male insect, and how he was able to protect him so thoroughly.

"You don't need to be so reserved. Just say what you want to say."

Yan Kai prefers simplicity in everything, and Elijah gave him a good impression.

Elijah's eyes lit up: "Me, I can too, is that okay?"

"of course."

Harwick nearly choked on the pieces of cake because he ate them so quickly, and had to drink several cups of water before he could swallow them. After hearing what they were saying, he immediately chimed in: "Elia! Don't be fooled by this hypocritical male insect, you're so naive! He almost choked me to death!"

Yan Kai rolled his eyes: "The pastries aren't good?"

"good to eat."

Harwick licked his lips. The food in Longkoda was coarse, and the food that nobles ate was priced like gold; he couldn't afford it normally.

"Isn't that enough to shut you up?"

Harwick gestured with his fist and said, "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a male!"

Yan Kai sat there calmly: "I am, after all, an S-class male insect. I don't think I will lose."

Harwick immediately withdrew his hand, looking aggrieved but unable to express his anger.

That damned racial nature!

Elijah suddenly laughed, a genuine laugh of relaxation, her voice clear and crisp, her beautiful eyes instantly narrowing into slits, making her exceptionally adorable.

Yan Kai turned his head and smiled at Harwick.

After a bit of commotion, the three insects relaxed considerably during their chat, and Harwick brought over the things that Della had sent, figuring it was better to eat them than not.

During the process, Yan Kai was surprised to find that although Elia had never left home, he had read a great many books and had a very clear understanding of the geographical distribution and tribal features of the Zerg continent.

Yan Kai had an idea and was about to ask about Morbis's location when there was a sudden commotion around him. He turned his head curiously and saw a black-robed female insect leading a male insect toward them.
