Chapter 58 Part 2

Heh, dream on.

I’ll kill every female insect who’s touched you, every cheap bastard who dares covet your consort position, chop them into pieces, and feed them to the stray dogs by the road.

And you—

Your final, only destination can be my bed, Ludwig’s.

Ludwig pressed his lips together, his gaze greedily chasing Shen Yu’s lips as scarlet thirst flowed from them.

Want—

Lock him up, chain him.

Fuck him, lick him, kiss him, spread his legs, grip his ankles, envelop him.

Make him naked, make his neck arch, make his shoulder blades tense, make his whole body tremble, make him covered in red ropes, make him come so hard he breaks down crying.

Then Ludwig would lower his head, kiss his shuddering, salty tears amid the quivers, swallow them— not just the tears.

Shen Yu took a step back, so Ludwig advanced, closing in.

Even without Shen Yu’s answer, sensing the off atmosphere between them, Andre instantly knew.

His heart pounded wildly as he cursed inwardly. Seeing Shen Yu step back, he immediately raised his arm to shield Shen Yu behind him, blocking Ludwig’s approach.

Andre’s face showed no expression, his voice icy cold. “Your Excellency, approaching a male insect so rashly is hardly the act of a gentleman.”

Ludwig’s eyes rolled, shifting his gaze to the arm Andre had placed in front of him. His expression was as if pondering whether to sever that arm or its owner.

Andre clearly sensed the intense killing intent, his back instantly tensing in alert, fingers clenched into fists.

Ludwig swept his gaze over all the female and male insects present, unsurprisingly seeing Fred’s extremely ugly expression.

Ludwig narrowed his eyes, a cold, sinister arc at his lips. “I’m short one male insect. Hearing that the Sadro Family has many beauties, I’ve come specially to invite one as a guest.”

Shen Yu thought that this person’s demeanor was clearly that of a thug, yet his words carried an elegance ingrained in his bones.

Ludwig’s magnetic, low voice was carried by the wind, reaching every ear present. One sentence instantly stirred up massive waves, gasps rising everywhere amid shock and astonishment, while the tightly clenched hearts suddenly relaxed.

All the female insects and male insects turned to look at the male insect at the center of the storm.

He stood there with lowered eyes, his icy silver hair flowing like silent moonlight in the daylight. His pale silver eyelashes drooped low, casting a narrow shadow at the corner of his eye—the only contrast on his entire face.

Not only the male and female insects in the church, but also the group of Red Blood female insects instantly held their breaths, eyes unblinking as they awaited Shen Yu’s reaction.

Ludwig advanced another step.

Shen Yu lifted his eyelids and patted Andre’s arm, signaling him to let go.

Andre turned his head to look at him, meeting Shen Yu’s eyes like two icy lakes. That gaze coldly rebuked his futile effort—this block of his only demonstrated their bond without any effect, even creating more unnecessary trouble.

Andre’s fingers tightened. How could he not know that?

But Andre couldn’t stay calm. Every time he was caught in a vortex of hesitation, Shen Yu would forcefully pull him out of the emotional quagmire and compel him to make a rational choice.

Andre gritted his teeth and abruptly withdrew his arm.

Without that obstructing arm in the way, Ludwig looked at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu’s eyelashes drooped, returning the decision to his own hands once more.

Shen Yu turned his head and looked toward the crowd of insects outside the church. Today was his engagement ceremony. Almost all the relatives from the Sadro Main House and those close to him had attended, but his female father hadn’t come, signaling his displeasure with Shen Yu’s engagement to Fred.

It was better that he hadn’t come. If he had, no matter what decision Shen Yu made, that utterly foolish female father probably wouldn’t let him board Red Blood’s starship even if it cost everything.

The Sadro Family members watched him. Their expressions weren’t as terrified or anxious as those of the other female and male insects; they simply watched in silence, awaiting his own decision.

If Shen Yu refused Ludwig’s invitation, the sharp swords would be drawn. Even knowing the outcome, they would fight to the death.

Conversely, if Shen Yu accepted Ludwig’s invitation—even bearing the scandal—they wouldn’t obstruct him and would let him go.

Roses and glory upon him, flowers eternal through choice.

This was the cold indifference etched into the Sadro Family’s bones.

Shen Yu dropped his arrogant, icy posture. Though he had moved out of the main house, at this moment he shouldered the Sadro Family’s glory and responsibility. His red lips curved slightly, revealing a beautiful, icy arc.

“The engagement ceremony will be postponed for now. My apologies to everyone for the wasted trip. Within three days, the Sadro Family will send apology gifts. I have another appointment now, and details on rescheduling the ceremony will be announced after confirmation.”

Postponed? Rescheduled? Ludwig’s tongue pressed against his teeth, viciously chewing those words in his mouth.

Shen Yu turned his head to Ludwig and took a step forward. “Your Excellency, please lead the way.”

Those words clearly delighted Ludwig. He narrowed his eyes, about to lead the way back to the starship.

At that moment, Fred, whose face remained darkly silent, suddenly burst through the defensive line. The female insect’s innate talent erupted instantly, massive bone wings unfolding behind him as he charged straight at Ludwig.

A cold wind whistled past.

In the blink of an eye, Ludwig bent down, his long arm swiftly scooping up Shen Yu in a horizontal carry. Hard insect armor spread from his neck, quickly enveloping his jaw.

The top-tier female insect’s massive bone wings unfurled in an instant, dodging Fred’s ferocious strike. With another blink, he rapidly lifted off the ground carrying Shen Yu!

The scorching arm, separated only by thin fabric, burned against Shen Yu’s leg muscles.

Shen Yu: “……”

Shen Yu: 【I give up. How did I get hugged out of nowhere again???】

007 gave a thumbs up: 【Congenital princess carry sacred body.】

Shen Yu: 【……】

The high-speed flight brought a sweeping gale. Shen Yu’s face was forced against Ludwig’s scorching, blazing chest, clearly feeling the female insect’s mountain-like muscles.

The female insect’s two powerful arms confined him in an embrace, steadily holding him aloft.

Ludwig’s body temperature was already high, and now his solid arm muscles tensed from exertion, pulsing veins and heartbeat pounding together—one thump after another, bursting with power.

The pulse of veins, the throb of blood.

Shen Yu felt like he was lying on a vibrant, beating heart membrane.

Seeing his strike miss, Fred’s face turned grim. He vibrated his wings rapidly in the air, quickly catching up and using his sharp forelimbs to seek Ludwig’s weak points.

Ludwig’s expression chilled. Sharp bone spikes protruded from his bone wings.

Expressionless, he swung the bone spikes toward Fred.

The bone spikes mercilessly pierced into the shell on Fred’s back connecting body and bone wings, landing a fatal blow. Blood sprayed as the spikes twisted!

“Crack!”—

Fred let out a pained screech. His bone wings instantly lost power, unable to maintain flight. His body hung in the air for a moment before plummeting like a meteor, smashing fiercely into the ground.

A female insect’s insectized body could weigh hundreds or thousands of kilograms. The impact created a massive crater and a deafening boom.

“Fred! Fred—”

Demian’s pupils contracted. He watched everything before him in disbelief. So, so this was the power of a female insect? Terrifying, too terrifying. Such fearsome creations—were the male insects’ punishments of them really punishments?

They could toy a male insect to death with just a flick of the wrist.

Demian felt fear, unprecedented fear of female insects.

With the crashing sound, tension and unease spread through the air. Demian closed his eyes, lips trembling as he suppressed his terror and ran toward the crater.

Dust and debris flew from the impact. The gray-haired female insect lay twitching in the pit, his massive shell shattered, hideous bone wings and flesh splayed out amid viscous blood—ghastly, nauseating, revolting.

Demian had always treated female insects in specialized therapy rooms. This was his first time seeing such a bloody scene, and his stomach churned. But he hadn’t eaten, so he could only dry-heave.

“He needs mental treatment now—”

“Demian, you’ve treated him before, hurry—”

Suffocating voices flooded his ears like a tide. Demian was shoved by the surrounding female insects. He wanted to refuse but was forced to stumble into the crater.

Dust scattered everywhere as Ludwig retracted his bone wings. Holding Shen Yu, he nimbly landed on top of the starship. The entire steel hull swayed slightly from his movements.

Shen Yu’s eyelashes drooped. From Ludwig’s arm bend, he took in the entire battle.

Was this an SSS-rank female insect?

Powerful, ferocious, invincible.

In the male insect’s blue eyes, shadowed by long lashes, a flash of near-mad dark light passed.

Planning to get revenge on me?

Good. An SSS-rank female insect was exactly what he wanted.

You’re truly a dog that brings me surprises.

Ludwig’s body brimmed with post-battle heat, his breathing heavy. That heat soon turned into another kind of impulse. Ludwig tightened his arms and carried Shen Yu into the starship.

Military boots thudded on the bridge—”Thud, thud, thud”—an oppressive sound.

Ludwig kicked open the bedroom door with his leg and strode in, tossing the male insect onto the bed. Silver hair scattered across the sheets, the triangular collar of his shirt gaping to reveal taut collarbones and a glimpse of beautiful, snowy shoulder and neck.

Ludwig bent down, his powerful arms reaching out to swiftly undo Shen Yu’s obstructive engagement attire.

The formal wear wasn’t easy to remove, but Ludwig was endlessly patient, like peeling a juicy lychee.

The supple, plump lychee flesh soon emerged. Ludwig pressed down atop him, his dark-red eyes like abyssal marshes burning with magmatic fire.

At this rate, Shen Yu felt he might actually get ridden to death.

The towering female insect buried his head fiercely into Shen Yu’s neck, as if wanting to bite it through. Contrary to that near-suicidal ferocity, the female insect stuffed a dog leash into Shen Yu’s hand.

Shen Yu felt a chill in his palm. His gloves had already been removed, and his hand touched the cold handle.

“Don’t male insects like to play with these?”

Ludwig straddled him, veins bulging on his arms as he deftly fastened the black metal collar around Shen Yu’s neck. It connected to a controller, its dangerous red light flashing.

“Do me leashed. I can’t control myself otherwise.”

Shen Yu’s heart skipped. His slender fingers curled slightly as he realized what he held.

Ludwig leaned down, breath surging with heat, voice magnetically hoarse.

“If you don’t want to get fucked to death—”

“Sadro, remember to keep me leashed tight.”
