Jun Ye thought that the male Zergâs coming-of-age ceremony was perhaps a very important event.
When the young master brought him to the top floor of the villa, the feeling reached its peak. An entire floorâs worth of walls had been demolished and transformed into this coming-of-age⌠love nest.
Listening to the young masterâs endless chatter about the soundproofing of the love nest and the completeness of the scene props, Jun Yeâs expression became indescribable.
A 200-inch prototype soft bed, a bathroom enclosed only by frosted glass, small scenes created by mirrors from different angles, floor-to-ceiling windows facing one side, and⌠a cabinet full of nutrient solutions and restorative agents.
Truly⌠well-prepared.
âYou will love it,â the young master sat on the large soft bed, swinging his legs back and forth. He scanned every decoration in the room, his eyes filled with tender anticipation that seemed almost ready to overflow.
âThis love nest is something Iâve been preparing for us for several years.â
Jun Ye was speechless: âFor several years, is this all you were thinking about every day?â
Blushing, Joshua covered his face, but his eyes remained fixed on Jun Ye. That expression clearly showed that he didnât think there was anything wrong with his actions.
Over these past few days, Jun Ye had come to understand just how obsessed the young master was with these âyouthâ related matters.
Or perhaps all male Zergs were like this. Otherwise, how could they manage to have an average of nearly 30 female attendants as adult male Zergs? And that was just within the household; who knew how many romantic affairs they had outside.
Jun Ye thought that it was indeed a special talent for male Zergs not to be completely drained dry. But if his male Zerg dared to accumulate a bunch of romantic debts1Thatâs one way to refer to affairs lolâŚ
Joshua was feeling excited as he looked at Jun Yeâs face, but suddenly he met Jun Yeâs cold gaze, causing him to shiver. He quickly asked, âIs there something that doesnât meet your expectations, Jun? I can make the housekeeper to change it right away.â
Jun Ye narrowed his eyes: âNo, the decorations are fine. I just donât know how youâll be.â
âMe?â Joshua blushed. âIâll be very capable. The talent assessment said I have S-class potentialâŚâ
Jun Yeâs expression momentarily cracked: ââŚâŚâŚâŚâ
So, thatâs how the Zerg hierarchy was determined? I feel like Iâve discovered something incredible.
âS-class potential, is it achieved by taking drugs?â Jun Ye glanced at the restorative agents displayed on the bedside table, and sarcastically smiled.
Donât think he doesnât know what those restorative agents are used for.
âIâŚâ Joshua was both ashamed and guilty. He glanced away and said, âI donât need that kind of stuff!â
Jun Ye: It sounds like heâs not the one who prepared them, butâŚ
âDonât worry, you wonât need them.â
Joshua bit his lower lip, trying to suppress the urge to smile, and eagerly looked at Jun Ye in anticipation. He asked, âSo, does that mean Jun will be doing everything?â
ââŚYou can just lie down.â
Joshua covered his face, feeling so embarrassed
It was a pity that Jun Ye had been cruel enough to inject himself with inhibitors these past few days. Otherwise, Joshua would have been able to pounce on him, lured by his pheromones.
.
As the awakening day approached, Joshua no longer dragged Jun Ye out to show their affection publicly, and both of them stayed at home.
Jun Ye sat in the living room watching the news, while Joshua curled up on the same couch. Lord Xavier, who got up very late these days, walked down the stairs wearing loose loungewear.
âMother?â Joshua looked up from the couch, surprised to see Xavier.
These past days, his female father had been full of affection, and even his male father couldnât get up before noon. That had won him a lot of alone time with Jun Ye. So generally speaking, at that time, wasnât his female father supposed to still be affectionate with his father in their bedroom?
Jun Ye noticed Xavierâs arrival even earlier than Joshua and averted his gaze when he caught sight of Xavierâs fair, slender legs.
Xavier covered his mouth as he yawned, looking a bit weary. Without saying anything, he nodded in response to Joshua.
Walking to the dining table, Xavier poured himself a glass of water. He was about to go upstairs when his gaze unintentionally swept over Jun Yeâs neck, causing him to pause in his tracks.
âLittle cub,â Xavier walked over with the water, his expression serious. âWhereâs the binding collar?â
The usually smiling female father suddenly turned serious, and Joshua instinctively shrank back, his back touching Jun Yeâs arm.
At that moment, Joshua seemed to gather immense courage as he stood tall, looking Xavier directly in the eye. He said, âJun would never harm me. I donât need that kind of thing.â
Xavier suddenly understood his husbandâs helplessness when faced with this unruly child. Cubs are greatly influenced by their male fathers.
Jun Ye glared at Xavier, yet the Female Monarch was unaffected, and he advised his son: âFemale Zergs are different from males. Even if they appear submissive, it doesnât change the fact that they possess strong attacking capabilities.â
âNo, Jun wouldnâtâŚâ Joshua was about to argue, but he was caught by Jun Ye and turned his head in surprise. âJun?â
âA binding collar, right? Bring it out, Iâll wear it,â Jun Ye said, his lips curling up at Xavier.
Ha, fearing the strength of female Zergs and resorting to using a collar. Does putting a leash on a fierce beast make it your pet2This one means that even if you were to leash up a feral beast, it wouldnât magically turn it into a docile little pet and itâll retain all its power?
Unexplainable panic surged within Xavier, but he had to stay firm.
In a fully enclosed coming-of-age ceremony, how could he trust his cub to a female Zerg known for its fierceness on the battlefield, especially considering this marriage arrangement might just be his cubâs wishful thinking?
âJunâŚâ
âItâs alright, isnât the controller in your hands?â Jun Ye caressed the tender skin of Joshuaâs face and said, âAre you planning to kill me?â
Joshua quickly shook his head. âI would never harm you.â
âThatâs all I need to know,â Jun Ye smiled, though he couldnât deny the conflict in his heart. It was his way of giving Joshua an ultimatumâeither accept him or kill him.
Watching as Joshua retrieved a dark collar from the storage and opened it, Jun Ye leaned forward, presenting his neck to Joshua. Joshua carefully fastened the binding collar around Jun Yeâs neck, and unbeknownst to him, Jun Yeâs gaze burned intensely.
You provoked me, now get ready to take responsibility.
Either accept it or face death.
With his objective achieved, Xavier, who didnât want to keep staying there as the bad guy who only was there to bring two lovers closer together, left with his water.
Jun Ye touched the cool binding collar around his neck. Truly, it was a product of the Zerg race designed solely for reproduction and the quality was really not bad at all. If he wanted to forcefully remove it, it would take considerable effort. If he truly had any intention of harming the male Zerg, there would have been enough time for the male Zerg to issue an extermination order during this period.
Compared to male Zergs, a female Zergâs life is truly worthless.
Jun Ye suddenly remembered when he had tied the young master with a binding rope on the bed, and couldnât help but tease. Itâs tit for tat, who can blame the heavens?
âJunâŚâ
His sleeve was tugged, and the male Zergâs voice trembled badly. Jun Ye turned his head in confusion and saw the young master covering the lower part of his garment, his lips devoid of color, but his cheeks strangely flushed.
Jun Ye vaguely sensed something and stared intently into Joshuaâs shimmering eyes. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI feel so bloatedâŚâ Joshua bit his lip, seeking help from Jun Ye with his gaze.
Jun Yeâs face slightly changed. It wasnât time for Joshuaâs anticipated awakening yet, so the fact that the male Zerg reacted early could only mean it was triggered by the pheromones of another Zerg.
To give the young master more time to adapt, Jun Ye had been injecting himself with suppressants these days. It was impossible for him to induce the premature awakening of the young master. It was clear who had induced the young masterâŚ
Jun Ye became agitated and was short of breath too. He grabbed Joshuaâs neck with his hand and slowly approached, their noses touching.
Ignoring the young masterâs struggles, Jun Yeâs face grew dark. âJoshua, you were actually triggered by your female father?!â
Hearing his own name spoken from the otherâs mouth for the first time, Joshua felt even more guilty. He avoided Jun Yeâs gaze and denied desperately, âItâs not true, I didnâtâŚâ
A terrible response. Jun Ye tightened his grip on Joshuaâs neck, coldly stating, âIâll give you one more chance to stop lying.â
âJunâŚâ Joshua, with teary eyes, looked at Jun Ye, his voice trembling. âI want toâŚâ
An even worse response. Jun Ye pursed his lips. He could vividly feel the soft flesh the male Zerg had pressed against him in the past. His expression changed several times, and his claw loosened and tightened.
âJun Ye! What are you doing!!â
A furious shout came from behind. Jun Ye turned around and cast a cold gaze at Xavier, who appeared nervous and flustered from the second-floor railing. He picked Joshua and walked straight to the top floor.
He closed the door, locked it, and isolated all the chaotic noises.
Without any mercy, Jun Ye threw Joshua onto the 200-inch circular bed. He was so furious, his heart ached. Through gritted teeth, he said, âI really underestimated you. Youâre just a pathetic scum who even reacts to your own female father!â
Joshua shrank back, desperately trying to conceal his physical response, sobbing, âNo, itâs notâŚâ
Jun Ye sneered: âNot true? What were you thinking when you looked at Xavier? Did you think his legs were fair and tender? Did you want to hold his slender waist?â
This time, Joshua also exploded. He jumped off the bed and exclaimed, âYou looked at him too! I canât believe you looked at even a sub-female! He, heâs still my female father!!â
Oh-oh, troubles incoming o(>< )o What a well fitted couple, getting jealous of the same person for different reasons even though that person is literally family but letâs just go over that lol
