What did Gu Yuan’s wings look like?
If you asked any military female who had once fought beside Gu Yuan, they would probably describe them like this:
Massive and broad, cold and almost mechanical, like merciless blades forged from darkness itself. Within that deep black shimmer lingered an icy blue so profound it seemed capable of freezing and tearing apart even the surrounding air.
But if Luo were the one describing them, he would only use two words:
Beautiful.
The edges of those magnificent scaled wings glittered with a ring of luminous black, the color gradually deepening inward into dark blue before finally blooming into a brilliant sapphire shade at the center, vivid and radiant like the ocean itself.
And beneath those wings lay Gu Yuan’s vulnerable back and shoulder blades.
The moment Luo touched them lightly, Gu Yuan would begin trembling uncontrollably.
The restrained muffled sounds escaping from his nose could no longer be suppressed once Luo bit down against his gland.
His soft wings quivered as though unable to withstand the overwhelming sensation any longer yet they remained obediently spread open within Luo’s hands, quiet and docile.
A glistening tear slid down past his Adam’s apple before Luo gently leaned forward and kissed it away with intimate tenderness.
Amid the warm haze of female pheromones, Luo suddenly recalled a strange pronunciation that had surfaced in his mind for no reason at all. Following his instincts, he softly murmured,
“Jamides bochus.”
His voice was low and lingering, as though he were whispering the name of someone he cherished dearly.
It clearly was not Gu Yuan’s name, nor did it belong to any known common language yet for some inexplicable reason, Gu Yuan instinctively felt that Luo was calling him.
It was as though the softest place hidden deep within his soul had suddenly been touched.
The strange pronunciation filled him with a sense of shame no less intense than when Luo had bitten down on his gland while softly calling him “mama.”
When Luo once again lowered his head to lick and kiss the crimson gland already covered in bite marks, Gu Yuan finally began trembling violently.
Supporting himself with both arms, he retreated backward in a disheveled panic, trying to escape the excessive pleasure threatening to consume him.
He could not understand it.
At the beginning, all he had done was spread his wings.
How had things ended up like this?
But naturally, there was nowhere for him to escape.
Luo’s soft spiritual tendrils gently yet firmly pressed him back down, leaving him no choice but to tilt his head upward as though offering himself in sacrifice, accepting everything the other brought upon him.
He… climaxed.
Sticky warmth coated his lower abdomen and Gu Yuan no longer had the strength to sit up.
Yet what left him feeling even more helpless was Luo’s open, straightforward gaze.
The young male seemed utterly unaware that he had just done something so astonishingly scandalous. In Luo’s eyes, he had probably only been expressing affection.
Completely drenched in sweat, Gu Yuan parted his lips, only to realize he had no idea what to say.
In the end, every thought dissolved into a single sigh.
“You can’t do this again next time, understand?”
“Okayyy~”
Luo answered obediently but it was painfully obvious that he had no intention whatsoever of listening to Gu Yuan.
The next day, despite Luo having a hundred unwilling complaints buried in his heart, Gu Yuan still personally sent him off to school.
Luo looked at him reluctantly.
“Can’t Yuanyuan really come to school with me?”
Gu Yuan smiled helplessly.
“No. Even I can’t freely enter and leave the First Military Academy whenever I want. Besides, I still have matters to handle at the military headquarters.”
The alien outbreaks along the border had become increasingly frequent lately. Even Delris, the so called iron blooded war machine, could no longer endure such an intensity of warfare.
And Delris was not a machine.
As for those alien creatures, they were endless and impossible to exterminate completely.
Taking Wu You back to the border had already become an urgent matter that could no longer be delayed. Before leaving, Gu Yuan had to find a way to properly settle Luo down.
Luo lowered his eyes and obediently responded with a quiet, “Oh.”
He could access the star network himself now. He understood how tense the war situation had become and he also knew that Gu Yuan was working desperately to find an opportunity to leave.
But he did not want Gu Yuan to go.
He wanted to follow him.
At first, it had only been about recovering his memories.
Yet at some point, without him even realizing when it began, he simply found himself wanting to remain by Gu Yuan’s side a little longer.
Even if it were only another month.
Another week.
Or merely another single day.
It did not matter where they were.
He simply wanted to stay with Gu Yuan.
Beside them, the livestream remained open as usual, displaying their race’s one and only precious treasure to the entire Zerg population.
One dazzling donation effect after another flashed across the screen alongside endless streams of comments and messages.
Luo paid none of them any attention.
Instead, he remained quietly absorbed in his own thoughts.
But none of that diminished the enthusiasm of the livestream audience in the slightest.
【Finally live again! Do you know how devastated I was after staying up until the middle of the night yesterday, only to click in and discover Luo was literally streaming himself sleeping just to make up broadcast hours?!】
【That said, sleeping Luo was ridiculously adorable too… hnghhhh】
【Is Luo baby going to school today?】
【HAHAHAHA General, why are you dressed so properly today? You’re making us think inappropriate things~】
【What is Luo baby thinking about? Why does he look so serious?】
By the time Gu Yuan steadily piloted the aircraft and arrived at the Imperial First Military Academy with Luo, that particular comment had just floated across the screen.
Luo immediately stretched out his arms with practiced familiarity, silently asking Gu Yuan to carry him, while replying to the livestream at the same time,
“I was thinking about how I should beat up that bad guy Fast when I get to school.”
The moment Gu Yuan heard Fast’s name, his expression stiffened slightly.
He still remembered that inexplicably bold male who had suddenly confessed to him.
The impression had become even deeper after Gu Yuan spent half the previous night being thoroughly tormented by Luo, only to crawl back up afterward and negotiate with the Alvin family to discuss a resolution.
Fortunately, although Fast was arrogant and overbearing, the current head of the Alvin family was not an unreasonable insect.
After learning that Fast had been the one to provoke things first, he decisively agreed to the mutual reconciliation proposal Gu Yuan suggested regarding the obstruction charges.
Otherwise, once the Male Protection Association got involved, who knew how much more trouble it would take before a settlement could finally be reached.
The livestream instantly exploded into a sea of laughter, with most viewers enthusiastically offering Luo advice.
【Luo can’t let others bully you anymore in the future! If someone bullies you again, just call Principal Charles and make him stand up for you!】
【Yes yes yes! You can call the military females nearby too!】
【I’m so worried about Luo baby at school. He’s so innocent, he’s definitely going to get bullied all the time TAT】
【LuoLuo, if anyone bullies you in the future, just start the livestream! We’ll personally curse out their ancestors for eighteen generations!】
【And! Go complain to General Gu Yuan too! The General dotes on you so much, he’ll definitely clean them up for you!】
Gu Yuan stared at the livestream comments encouraging chaos.
“….”
A headache.
After picking Luo up yesterday, Principal Charles had already sent him a detailed explanation of everything that happened.
Although Fast had indeed started the provocation first, no matter how one looked at it, Luo had been the one pinning the other down and beating him the entire time!!
Rather than worrying about Luo being bullied at school, it would honestly be more realistic to worry about Luo accidentally losing control of his spiritual tendrils and injuring an entire group of military females instead.
Smack!
In the brief moment Gu Yuan got distracted by the livestream comments, he suddenly felt a warm, soft touch against his face.
The little male had leaned over once more and kissed his cheek.
Luo happily inhaled the faint scent of himself lingering on Gu Yuan’s body before pressing close to his ear and whispering softly in a breathy voice,
“Yuanyuan, then I’ll go be good at school today. When I come home tonight, can I get a reward?”
Another small tendril silently crept upward around Gu Yuan’s collar covered neck. Gu Yuan forcefully endured the ticklish sensation crawling along his skin, his ears turning red as he nodded.
It was not that he had no principles and kept retreating again and again.
It was simply that whenever Luo pressed against his ear and pleaded in such a soft little voice, Gu Yuan truly had no idea how he was supposed to refuse him.
【??? Luo baby, what secret are you whispering about?!】
【AHHHH the General is blushing!! What did he say?! I want to hear it too!】
【I was there. I’m the General’s collar. I heard everything. They’re already an old married couple, over.】
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Luo cheerfully climbed down from Gu Yuan’s arms. Ignoring the collective wailing filling the livestream, he turned off the broadcast and waved goodbye to Gu Yuan.
“Then I’m off to school now! Don’t forget to come pick me up later today too!”
“Alright.”
Gu Yuan agreed indulgently, watching Luo all the way until Charles led him inside before finally turning back toward the aircraft.
Little Black, who had followed Luo the entire way and who had also spent the entire previous night locked outside the room by Luo while witnessing everything firsthand, could only silently say:
…6.
Surely their lord had been replaced by another insect after losing his memory, right?!?!
Because of yesterday’s incident, Charles directly transferred Fast into Class B today and strictly prohibited every student from leaving their classrooms freely. Any violators would be expelled immediately.
As a result, Luo’s little revenge plans, plans involving trying out some brand new methods of hanging Fast up for punishment today, completely fell through.
Thus, he could only quietly follow Charles all the way to the entrance of Class A.
Imperial First Military Academy had three grades in total, with six classes in each grade, labeled A through F.
Officially, the classes were supposedly divided according to academic rankings.
But everyone knew the truth.
The Empire’s best military females were all concentrated in Class B.
As for Class A, it mostly consisted of noble military females born into extremely powerful families. Entering this class depended far more on background and status than actual ability.
After graduation, these Class A military females would not be assigned to front line battlefields or grassroots military work. Instead, they would directly enter the military headquarters and take up administrative or clerical management positions.
Of course, a portion of the Class A students still chose to head to the battlefield.
But they were merely the minority.
After all, even though they were female insects, they also possessed formidable family backing. In today’s era, where the movement for equality between males and females had already progressed for many years, even without outstanding military achievements, they would never struggle to find a male lord.
The Empire would naturally find ways to assign male partners to them.
For example,
Luo.
The moment Luo followed Charles and stepped into the classroom, he instantly became the center of attention for the entire class.
First year Class A contained twenty one military females in total.
Nearly every single one represented a major power within the Empire. All of them had been carefully selected and painstakingly raised by their respective families before finally being sent into the First Military Academy.
Competition had already existed subtly between them from the very beginning.
And last night, every single one of them had coincidentally received the same highest level order from their family heads:
Get close to Luo.
Naturally, they were now using every method imaginable to attract Luo’s attention.
Some deliberately imitated Gu Yuan’s style, dressing themselves in perfectly neat military uniforms.
Others intentionally tried to stand out by dyeing their hair bright blond overnight.
Some went even further, directly spreading open their insect wings in an attempt to captivate Luo with their beautiful wings.
Greedy, possessive gazes landed upon the petite male standing on the podium with long black hair cascading behind him.
Luo frowned and instinctively took a step back.
He did not like those kinds of gazes.
They made him feel disgusted.
Charles shot a warning glance toward the female who had spread open his wings, then subtly shifted his own body to block part of the line of sight directed at Luo before gently asking,
“Luo, would you like to introduce yourself to everyone?”
No.
He hated this.
Standing on the platform while being examined by countless eyes like some kind of product, then having to introduce himself,
It felt exactly like a delicious little cake trying to advertise itself.
“I don’t want to.”
Luo refused directly, meeting the shocked stares from below without the slightest intention of avoiding them.
“They all already know who I am, so why should I introduce myself?”
“Why don’t you all introduce yourselves instead?”
The classroom instantly fell into silence.
Several seconds later, the female who had opened his wings earlier was the first to stand up.
He had medium length brown hair, gold rimmed glasses and a refined, scholarly appearance when he smiled. Looking toward Luo, he politely introduced himself.
“Your Highness Luo, I am Toran Arno. It is an honor to become your schoolmate.”
“I heard that you enjoy playing with female insects’ wings. My wings are very beautiful. Whether Your Highness wishes to cut them apart or tear them up, I would be mo, ”
“Toran.”
Charles interrupted him with a frown before he could continue speaking, while discreetly observing Luo’s expression at the same time.
Ever since hatching, the female Luo had interacted with the most was Gu Yuan.
And Gu Yuan was famously known throughout the entire Zerg race for being frigid and abstinent.
Now that Luo had just entered the academy and immediately encountered a female like Toran, Charles was genuinely worried that Luo might begin developing a sense of aversion toward female insects altogether.
Yet contrary to his expectations, Luo showed no sign of disgust whatsoever. He merely responded calmly,
“Oh. Okay. Next.”
Charles: …?
Could it be that Gu Yuan was actually the type who looked cold on the surface but secretly used an extremely uninhibited educational style?
Meanwhile, Luo himself truly felt nothing at all.
He merely slapped the label “pervert” onto the female who had just stood up, then calmly waited for the next one to introduce himself.
After all, a portion of his basic understanding of Zerg society came from searching the star network.
But an even larger portion came from the livestream comment sections.
Seriously, once hidden behind the virtual shell of the internet, the things those females said online were far more perverted than whatever that Lan had just said.
He had already seen too much.
Nothing surprised him anymore.
With Toran taking the lead, the remaining females all began standing one after another to introduce themselves.
Each of them scrambled to showcase their strengths and advantages.
Some highlighted their family backgrounds.
Some boasted about their military achievements.
One went even further and directly listed every property and asset under his name, openly declaring that he was willing to hand everything over to Luo.
Throughout the entire process, Luo remained expressionless.
From beginning to end, he only repeated the same three words:
“Next.”
While listening absentmindedly, he was simultaneously thinking about what kind of reward he should ask Gu Yuan for after returning home from school later.
Not a single name actually stayed in his memory.
Only after saying “Next” once more and receiving no response did Luo finally realize that all twenty one military females in the class had already finished introducing themselves.
So he turned toward Charles and asked,
“Grandpa Charles, introductions are over now. Can we start class?”
The females below were completely dumbfounded.
The Male Protection Association had specifically arranged for Luo to enter Class A, pairing him with more than twenty of the Empire’s finest females.
Yet Luo had barely even looked at them before turning around to ask whether class was starting.
Was this some kind of joke?
Did a male actually come to school for the sake of studying???
But Luo genuinely had come to attend class.
Although Fast had not managed to finish speaking yesterday, Luo was not stupid.
Of course he understood what Fast had been trying to imply:
The class he was entering would be filled with females eyeing him like predators.
And the entire arrangement had been deliberately orchestrated by the Male Protection Association for one purpose,
To separate him from Gu Yuan.
But Luo still remembered why he had decided to come to school in the first place:
To learn how to control his spiritual power.
And to recover his memories.
For those goals, enduring an entire classroom full of female insects from Class A was not something impossible.
Anyway, he could simply treat all of them like air.
All he wanted was to recover his memories and abilities as quickly as possible, then resolve the border alien crisis before Gu Yuan noticed something was wrong.
Because if Gu Yuan ever learned that the countless casualties suffered by the First Legion under his command over the years had all been caused by him…
Then Luo would lose his little cake forever. QAQ
Clearly, Luo himself had not done anything.
Yet somehow he still had to carry the blame for the alien creatures.
Luo was so miserable.
Thinking this, Luo urged Charles once more,
“Grandpa, class!”
Only then did Charles finally snap out of his stunned state.
Shock, astonishment, disbelief and joy rapidly flashed across his face one after another before finally settling into utter ecstasy.
“Alright! I’ll have Ye Wen come teach immediately! If Your Highness Luo wishes to study any other subjects too, just tell Grandpa and I’ll arrange everything for you!”
Originally, he had assumed that Luo would either find school too difficult and quickly choose to drop out,
Or, because he was too innocent, end up getting deceived emotionally and physically by the females in the class.
Who could have imagined that Gu Yuan’s educational methods were actually this successful?
To think he had managed to raise a little male who loved learning just as wholeheartedly as he did!
This time, Imperial First Military Academy might truly succeed in producing a second Insect Emperor!
