Chapter 256 Darkening Value
Chapter 256 Darkening Value
The main research party of the new inhibitor is the First Legion, and Wen Zhimo is at best a relatively expensive worker. In addition, this matter involves the interests of many parties, so he can't help but be more cautious.
"This matter is not something I can decide. I have to go back and tell the military."
Zephir smiled, looking at the fox-like male insect before him, and he began to weigh his options. This male insect was the mate of the First Legion's general. He looked gentle and harmless, but in reality, he was scheming and not easy to fool.
Although he says that he cannot make decisions on his own, as a principal researcher, his own value is no less than that of the new inhibitor.
Zephir extended the invitation again, saying, "Your Majesty Wen, the Second Legion Research Institute welcomes you at any time. We will provide you with the most satisfactory remuneration and treatment."
Jiang Xun, an ambitious contender for the throne, had long been connected to Zephir due to vested interests, and couldn't help but add a few words at this moment. He smiled and said, "The Second Legion is indeed willing to spend money. They have never reduced their investment in the research institute. It is a good choice."
The First Legion has been short of funds recently, and the remuneration offered is the lowest among all the legions that have been invited. In other words, they are lucky to have encountered Wen Zhimo at his most soft-hearted time.
If it weren't for the general of the First Legion, he couldn't be sure which research institute he would choose.
"Thank you, we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." Wen Zhimo was still polite. Although he was cold at heart, he was very tactful and comfortable in his daily work. Even his rejection did not sound harsh or uncomfortable.
Zephir understood as soon as he heard it.
It was said that the admiral of the First Legion married this S-rank male insect by relying on her power, and that she must have been unhappy after marriage. But now it seems that is not the case. At least the fact that the male insect stayed in the research institute with the worst treatment among all the institutions already explains a lot of problems.
If it's not preference, then there is really no other reason.
Because of the new regulations, the empire was in a lot of trouble. The emergence of the new inhibitors did deal a lot of damage to the male insects, just as Zephir had imagined. The pheromones they used to attract insects have now become dispensable and no longer have the absolute status they once had.
Young female insects yearn for male insects, but married female insects hate male insects. They have endured too much hardship, being beaten, scolded and humiliated at will every day. Male insects don't care about their young, so they want to grab them desperately as soon as they get a chance.
Now, the new regulations are an opportunity.
As long as you grit your teeth and hold on through this period, you can fight for your rights. Mental comfort will become a legal obligation between husbands and wives. Male insects will not be allowed to abuse or whip their daughters for any reason, and the young insects can also have a healthy growth environment.
This was Zephiel's third visit to Bai Yuning's home. The male insect's relationship was public, but the relationship between the man and the insect wasn't clear, so they couldn't live together as before. It was a pity for him, but the female insect needed to be reserved.
"Jiujiu misses you."
Bai Yuning sent a message to Zephir.
At that time, his subordinates were reporting some out-of-control protests in the empire, and Zephir was in a bad mood. Fortunately, this message came in and saved the life of the unfortunate female insect.
He looked at the message for two seconds, with so many questions in his mind.
The cat misses him, but what about the male insect?
Zephir was always too busy. Like all ambitious politicians, he was used to burying himself in work and socializing. In addition, the imperial capital had been in turmoil recently, and as the main promoter of the new regulations, he was naturally much busier than usual.
The male insect's home has changed a lot since he first came. The soft, bright warm colors and the slightly bulky but very cute wooden products have added a lot of vitality to the house.
It can be seen that male insects like a comfortable and warm environment.
Jiujiu hadn't seen his biped for a long time and missed it very much. After confirming the smell, he jumped up and asked for a hug and ruarua. When Zephir saw that the male insect was not at home, he was a little restrained at first, but he relaxed after a while.
He had been very busy recently and was inevitably tired, so he soon fell asleep on the sofa holding the cat.
As soon as Bai Yuning came back, he saw the female insect curled up on the sofa. The falling light cast a shadow on her eyelashes. She looked quiet and well-behaved, completely different from her usual alert and postured appearance, and more real.
He paused, went over and picked up the female insect, but Jiujiu slipped away to the side because of the sudden movement.
In a daze, Zephir opened his eyes and saw Bai Yuning's face. In the past, when he was awake, he didn't know how to get close to the male insect. Now he was very sleepy and his consciousness was not clear, so he became bolder. He opened his arms and put his arms around the other's neck, rubbing it affectionately.
Bai Yuning's eyes were dim, and he always felt that he had been too close to the female insect recently.
In fact, they had quarreled once after that incident at the manor. The female insect didn't want him to get involved in the inhibitor business, but he ignored her. The man and the insect parted ways unhappily and haven't seen or spoken to each other for a long time.
This feeling struck Bai Yuning as odd. As a career-oriented tasker, he wasn't keen on cultivating good relationships with his taskmates, as long as it didn't interfere with the task. However, female insects seemed more special to him. He felt that their delicate and kind appearance warranted more protection...
Bai Yuning carried Zephir into the guest room, but he frowned when he didn't smell the familiar scent.
"Don't sleep here. The room hasn't been cleaned. It's dirty..."
Bai Yuning laughed angrily: "Then where are you going to sleep?"
"your room."
Bai Yuning: "..."
The female insect's consciousness was unclear. She didn't seem to realize how bold her words were to the conservative Zerg, nor did she realize how ambiguous the words were. Without waiting for a response, she rubbed gently, vaguely waiting for something.
Bai Yuning could clearly feel the slight itch on his neck. He paused for a moment, and then said, perhaps out of anger or laughter, "Your cat left so much hair on my bed, and you don't mind it being dirty."
Despite what he said, he still carried the bug to his room.
Zephir rolled into the quilt and smelled a familiar scent. He then relaxed his brows in satisfaction and buried himself in the quilt.
Bai Yuning went out and came back in, lifted the quilt that the female insect was holding, stuffed a cat into his arms, as if he was stuffing a toy to coax a baby insect to sleep, and then covered him with the quilt.
Jiujiu was quite well-behaved. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.
Bai Yuning did not leave immediately. He stood by the bed and looked at the female insect for a long time. Her beautiful face did not lose any radiance even when she was sleeping. It was hard to imagine that this was a cold-hearted insect.
Because of the new regulations, there have been incidents of male insects causing trouble in the empire, but they have all been suppressed with tough measures, and this was definitely due to the tacit approval and instructions of the female insect in front of him.
The implementation of a policy cannot satisfy all insects, so the attitude of those in power must be tough to ensure the smooth implementation of the policy. This is understandable, but... he looked at the ever-increasing blackening value of the female insect, and his heart sank.
The Son of Luck represents justice and kindness, so how could he have a dark side...
All the plots are messed up.
Zephir noticed the male insect's lingering gaze, and leaned over to rub his palm. Still looking quiet and harmless, he suddenly opened his eyes and met those black eyes.
"Are you still angry?"
Bai Yuning paused, realizing that the female insect was referring to the quarrel they had at the manor not long ago. Looking at the well-behaved female insect, his heart softened a lot and he said, "I'm not angry anymore."
The female insect lowered her eyes, but her tone was somewhat angry: "I'm still angry."
Bai Yuning laughed angrily and said, "Hold it in."
The female insect became quiet again.
Bai Yuning's black eyes were as deep as a pool, unable to see the noisy things surging in them. He had traveled through nearly a hundred worlds and helped too many people, each of whom was successful and powerful.
He thought, since this little white flower is special to him...
It doesn't matter if it's a little messy, he will give this little white flower everything she wants.
