They truly didn’t know how to give up such a wonderful male bug. One female bug said, “If you feel troubled, why not just accept all of us?”
Tong Sui was so startled that he repeatedly shook his head, his ears turning slightly hot beneath his tousled hair.
The young male bug lowered his head, shyly replying, “I have someone I like… um… a female bug. I only like her and haven’t considered other female bugs.”
The female bugs froze in place.
Tong Sui’s expression was so adorable and vivid that it made their bones feel soft all over.
Another part of their shock was due to Tong Sui’s words, which they had never heard before.
Male bugs, being scarce, would usually choose one female monarch and several female attendants. After marriage, they needed to contribute all their assets to the male bug, and those with fewer resources might even be abused and beaten until bruised. Yet, they willingly accepted this.
The male monarch was their sky, and any dissatisfaction was their own problem.
But they had never imagined there could be a male bug who would give up accepting other female attendants for the sake of someone he liked.
That female bug must be so lucky.
If only I could be that person, even death would be worth it. Damn, I’m truly envious.
After sending away those troublesome female bugs, Tong Sui closed the door of the room and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Finally, he had sent them away.
He rolled around on the bed. Although he couldn’t quite accept the thought processes of the bugs, the room, after some tidying up, finally looked somewhat presentable.
Tong Sui was unaware of the impact of his casual words on the several female bugs —
A new post appeared on StarNet.
[Help! Today during an assignment, I encountered a super cute male bug! But sadly, he said he already likes a female bug and won’t accept other female attendants. I’m almost dying of envy!]
[Floor 1: A male bug who doesn’t accept female attendants? Laughing to death; the author should try to make it more realistic! Or are you still dreaming?]
[Floor 2: It’s probably another female bug without a male monarch daydreaming; with that time, she might as well earn some star coins. If lucky, a male bug might reluctantly take her as an attendant because of her money.]
[Floor 3: Shouldn’t the Male Bug Protection Association regulate these affairs properly? Female bugs aren’t properly working and serving their male monarchs, yet they post such things on StarNet.]
[Floor 4: Nowadays, female bugs don’t see themselves as treasures, right? What’s next, learn from Bai Xingluo, that scum bug, who not only harmed the beloved Lord Duke Lu Ting but also thinks too highly of herself?
Remember, we have no shortage of capable military female bugs in our empire!]
This direction led the discussion down another path.
[Floor 8: Bai Xingluo isn’t even worthy of being called a star of the empire; what good is it to have high mental strength when she’s in danger?
What will happen when her mental strength goes berserk? Will she harm more innocent male bugs?]
[Floor 9: Haven’t the verdicts come down yet? Just thinking about allowing such culpable female bugs to live one more day tarnishes the reputation of all female bugs.]
[Floor 10: What if Bai Xingluo’s incident affects our entire military female bug image in the eyes of male bugs? What should we do?
I sure don’t want to spend a lifetime unable to find my beloved male monarch!]
…
This topic skyrocketed to the top of the discussion charts.
So much so that when Tong Sui opened his light brain, he saw the most-searched term: #Bai Xingluo, Verdict Results#
The most popular opinion called for the quick execution of such a dangerous female bug.
[If Bai Xingluo goes unpunished, will female bugs be able to harm male bugs at will in the future? I support execution! It must happen!]
This comment amassed hundreds of thousands of likes.
Meanwhile, a small number of netizens discussed whether Bai Xingluo, having once enjoyed supreme glory and wealth as the star of the empire, would find a way to save herself.
[The most effective way would be to find a male monarch, right? From the perspective of interstellar law, she would then become the private property of a male bug.
Unless the male monarch agrees, even the royal family wouldn’t have the right to dispose of Bai Xingluo.]
[Hahaha, that really is a good idea! Not only could she be exonerated, but she would also retain her original rank and personal property.
But to be honest, after just injuring an innocent male bug, who would be willing to marry a military female bug who might endanger their life at any moment?]
[Being with a military female bug like Bai Xingluo would surely be dull; aside from her looks, she’s hard as a rock, only knows how to fight, and is nowhere near as interesting as lower-class female bugs.]
[You’d have to be out of your mind to marry Bai Xingluo; with S-level mental strength during a frenzied phase, it’s basically a suicide mission.]
[Doesn’t that mean she’s ended her own path?]
Tong Sui frowned slightly at this comment.
He had come to this world for the task given by the system, which was to save Bai Xingluo.
But the current situation was extremely unfavourable.
Below that comment, Tong Sui replied using his StarNet account: “General Bai Xingluo has contributed so much to the empire; she simply injured a male bug during her frenzy phase and shouldn’t receive such heavy punishment.”
Once his comment was sent out, it instantly became a target for attack.
[Just one male bug? That was Lord Lu Ting!]
[The empire isn’t lacking capable generals; even without him, there are other military female bugs to take over.]
[No matter who it is, anyone who harms a male bug is an unforgivable sin! The execution is a gift for him!]
[Could it be the fanatics from Bai Xingluo’s fans? Even at this point, they still want to find excuses for her.]
Tong Sui felt a bit confused being besieged, and he replied with somewhat clumsy operations on his light brain: [I’m neither a female bug nor a fan; I’m just expressing my opinion.]
[Hahahaha, you’re not saying you’re a male bug, right? Since you think what Bai Xingluo did is so trivial, go ahead, and marry the esteemed General Bai Xingluo then; that way, he can stay safe and sound.]
And he will do it just as said >0< yayy
