Before he could think any further, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the other end of the tentacle.
Gu Yuan had started cooking.
The small section of the tentacle wrapped around the man’s wrist rotated slightly, allowing Luo to get a better view of Gu Yuan’s current appearance.
The tall Imperial Female touched his own neck after hanging up the call. He let out a small, sharp hiss of pain but otherwise ignored the wound, continuing to process the tender chicken in his hands.
Because Luo had torn at his military uniform earlier, Gu Yuan’s collar was now hanging wide open. Through the eyes of the tentacle, Luo could even see the man’s chest muscles flexing and shifting with every movement of the knife.
The informational video said that this was one of a female insect’s reproductive organs.
But Gu Yuan’s looked different from what was shown in the video. Gu Yuan’s seemed… much softer.
The moment this thought surfaced in Luo’s mind, his tentacles had already acted ahead of him.
They coiled around the other’s waist and abdomen, slipping inward,
Testing whether it was truly as soft as he had imagined.
Eh, Luo felt a sudden, warm and yielding sensation transmitted to his fingertips and his eyes widened in surprise.
So this “shared perception” allowed him to feel even this kind of tactile sensation?
His interest was instantly piqued and he began exploring with enthusiasm just how far this connection through his tentacles could go.
Although absorbing pheromones this time hadn’t helped him recover any memories about his past, rediscovering one of his tentacles’ abilities was an unexpected gain.
In the kitchen,
“Thud!”
Gu Yuan’s knife slipped off course yet again. He bit down on his lower lip, enduring the teasing interference of the male’s mental tentacles.
Gu Yuan: “…”
He sighed helplessly. “Your Highness, if you keep this up, I won’t be able to cook.”
The restless tentacles froze at his words and, surprisingly, actually stopped moving obediently.
Gu Yuan turned on the faucet and splashed his face with cold water, forcing himself to calm down. Then he quickened his pace in preparing the meal, hoping to finish before the little male started causing trouble again.
Luo had been reluctant to stop exploring the functions of his tentacles but he was too curious about what exactly Gu Yuan was making as “food.” After frowning and thinking it over for quite a while, he finally chose to stop.
If he didn’t move… and just hugged him a little, that shouldn’t interfere with Gu Yuan, right?
Luo picked up the small tablet he had tossed aside earlier and, bored out of his mind, replayed games he had already cleared. After enduring ten or so minutes of waiting, he finally saw Gu Yuan return.
Gu Yuan was practically wrapped all over by Luo’s mental tentacles, to the point that even his steps seemed slightly unsteady.
Even so, he carried the clothes he had just found, patiently helping Luo get dressed before lifting him up and walking out of the bedroom.
Such a fragrant smell…
The moment they stepped out, Luo caught a scent.
It was different from the fragrance on Gu Yuan that made him feel “hungry.” This aroma brought an entirely new sensation.
Resting against Gu Yuan’s shoulder, Luo couldn’t see what was ahead due to his blocked view, so he could only rely on his limited understanding to guess.
What was on the table? Was it… many, many Gu Yuans?
While his thoughts wandered wildly, Gu Yuan had already gently set him down onto a cushioned seat.
At last, Luo could clearly see everything on the table:
Cheese oozed out from golden, crispy chicken rolls, releasing a rich, milky aroma. On the steaming hot pies, cute little cats were drawn with raspberry jam.
There was also a bright green, refreshing looking sweet soup. The sweet fragrances mingled together, before even tasting it, Luo could already sense that this would be a very sweet meal.
This… was food?
Luo tilted his head in confusion.
In his vague memories, food should have been something like Gu Yuan, something that could run and move. Did these steaming dishes count as food too?
Seeing that Luo still hadn’t reacted, Gu Yuan assumed he didn’t know how to use utensils. Picking up a fork, he cut off a piece of pie and brought it to Luo’s mouth.
“Want to try it? My cooking skills shouldn’t have declined.”
Luo blinked, then opened his mouth with a soft “ah, ” and bit down on the forkful. His eyes lit up instantly.
Delicious!
The soft, tender meat pie combined with the sweet and sour raspberry jam created a flavor that made one want to take a second bite immediately. Luo even tried to chew the fork along with the food.
“Wait!”
Gu Yuan quickly stopped him, using a bit of force to pull the fork out of Luo’s mouth.
“This is a fork. It’s a utensil, it’s not edible. Do you understand?”
“Delicious!”
Luo’s answer was completely unrelated.
With the fork no longer in the way, he swiftly swallowed the bite of hot pie, then looked up at Gu Yuan again with eager eyes.
He wanted more.
That was what his gaze clearly conveyed.
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. His previously heavy mood from the battle situation lightened slightly. He picked up another piece, this time a cheese chicken roll and fed it to Luo.
Luo accepted everything without hesitation, swallowing each bite in one go, then obediently waiting for the next. Behind him, his tentacles stretched out comfortably, swaying with contentment.
One feeding, one eating,
Before they even realized it, the entire table of food had been finished by Luo.
Only when Gu Yuan lowered his fork and found nothing left to pick up did he notice. He quickly asked, “Are you too full?”
He had prepared twice the portion of a normal adult male. Seeing Luo finish everything alone, Gu Yuan’s first thought was that Luo didn’t know when to stop eating and might have overeaten. He stood up anxiously and reached out to check Luo’s stomach.
To his surprise, Luo’s abdomen was still flat, as though he hadn’t eaten at all.
At the same time, he heard Luo ask in confusion, “Full…?”
Gu Yuan fell silent.
Alright. It seemed Luo simply had a large appetite.
Luo truly didn’t understand.
He didn’t feel that the “food” Gu Yuan made could give him a sense of fullness. It was just that the flavors were exceptionally good, the way they exploded across his taste buds brought him immense enjoyment.
After all, hadn’t he already been full after biting Gu Yuan’s gland? How could he possibly feel stuffed?
But before he could organize his thoughts and explain himself to Gu Yuan, his train of thought was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
“Ding dong”
Hearing it, Gu Yuan frowned. He straightened his collar, making sure there was nothing inappropriate about his appearance, before heading to the door and opening it.
The moment he saw the familiar face of the sub female outside, his expression turned completely cold.
It was Bai Langdi, the same female from the Male Protection Association who had been so aggressive earlier.
This time, Bai Langdi had come alone. It seemed he had been reprimanded after returning, as his attitude was noticeably more respectful now. Although a trace of disdain still lingered on his face, he nevertheless bowed slightly in greeting.
“General, good day. I am Bai Langdi, assistant to the investigator from the Male Protection Association whom you met earlier. I have come to deliver His Highness’s blood test report and to convey the Association’s latest directives.”
“Come in.”
Gu Yuan shifted slightly to the side, making space for Bai Langdi to pass.
Bai Langdi gave an awkward smile as he stepped inside, only to meet Luo’s gaze just as the latter curiously poked his head out to see what was happening.
The beautiful little male was dressed in a clean, pale yellow hoodie, a fork still held between his lips, his long black hair spilling forward as he leaned out.
Heavens… this was far too adorable…
Bai Langdi froze where he stood, only snapping back to his senses when he heard Gu Yuan’s approaching footsteps. He quickly bent at the waist in a respectful bow. “My apologies, Your Highness.”
Luo looked at him in confusion. Although he didn’t understand why the other suddenly bowed, he accepted it without much thought. After giving him a brief glance, he turned his attention back to Gu Yuan, still holding the fork in his mouth and stretched out his arms, speaking indistinctly:
“Hold.”
He had finished eating. Now he wanted to rest.
Gu Yuan stepped forward, removed the fork from Luo’s mouth and picked him up, intending to take him back to the bedroom first. However, Bai Langdi called out to stop him:
“Please wait, General. The matter the Male Protection Association asked me to convey also concerns His Highness. If possible, could you allow His Highness to stay as well?”
Gu Yuan raised a brow in irritation. He set Luo down on the sofa and sat beside him, turning to look at the sub female.
“What is it, exactly?”
Even seated and looking up, the imposing authority he carried made Bai Langdi, who was already lacking confidence, feel even more uneasy.
Swallowing nervously, Bai Langdi handed over the report in his hand.
“This is the physical copy of His Highness’s examination report. The electronic version has also been sent to your email. According to the Association’s blood analysis, His Highness has already completed his second differentiation and is currently an S class male. Based on blood age, he is at least eighteen years old.”
“Due to the unusual circumstances of his hatching, the Association believes it is highly likely that His Highness may undergo a third differentiation, becoming the first… super S class male in a thousand years.”
For a brief moment, surprise flickered across Gu Yuan’s face.
Males were already rare among their kind and yet by sheer chance, he had picked up a being unheard of, a super S class male?
Even the current Emperor was only A class.
But the expression quickly disappeared. He casually set the report down on the coffee table.
“I understand. I will do everything in my power to protect His Highness. Is there anything else the Association asked you to convey?”
“There is… also…”
Bai Langdi hesitated, faltering for quite a while. Meeting Gu Yuan’s increasingly impatient gaze, he steeled himself and blurted out as if facing certain doom:
“The Association has already made His Highness’s situation public across the entire Zerg society. Public demand is overwhelming, they are requesting the resumption of live broadcasts, to openly share His Highness’s growth process with all citizens, in order to prevent anyone with ill intent from harming him.”
“And?”
Gu Yuan prompted.
“And…”
Bai Langdi took out a small tablet from behind him, identical to the one Luo had been using earlier and avoided eye contact.
“So from the moment I entered, the entire process has already been broadcast live across the interstellar network… This is the Association’s decision!”
A virtual projection appeared on the wall of the living room, displaying the live broadcast of their conversation.
Luo had been leaning drowsily against Gu Yuan, listening half heartedly to the parts he couldn’t quite understand. The sudden appearance of the projection startled him.
He immediately became alert, staring seriously at the other “himself” on the screen. Tentatively, he raised his hand and waved.
Why was the other him waving back?!
Was it disguise? Or shapeshifting? What kind of strange ability did this creature called “live broadcast” possess?!
The livestream, already in an uproar from seeing His Highness, nearly crashed entirely when Luo sat up sleepily and waved.
Across the entire network, countless trending topics surged into existence within moments, each drawing nearly a billion views.
#SuperSClassMale
#HisHighnessIsSoCute

The trending charts exploded.
