Joshua’s expression froze, and in his mind, it felt like fireworks exploding, a chaotic sensation akin to being bombarded by dozens of starships equipped with particle cannons.
Jun said he liked me…
Since meeting Jun Ye, Joshua had a feeling that the other must like him, or why else would Jun Ye have saved him? He was such an excellent male Zerg—handsome, high-ranking, never abusive to female Zergs—he was like the dream alpha mate for all female Zergs. Of course, Jun Ye would like him!
Back then, the young Joshua thought reservedly, “Since you like me so much, and I find you quite charming, I’ll force myself to like you too.”
This kind of thinking persisted for a long time, until the day of his awakening, when the female Zerg pinned him to the bathtub wall…
Being humiliated like that, it seemed like all the liking was just his wishful thinking. However, he realized that his affection for this Zerg was much deeper than he had imagined. Even after being humiliated, he couldn’t bring himself to activate the punishment device in the female Zerg’s collar. Subsequently, the female Zerg opened his body for further humiliation, the pain and strange pleasure intertwined. Joshua felt uncomfortable and disgusted by his own reactions, but mostly, he felt lost about the future.
Later, the female Zerg didn’t leave. Joshua thought he could continue to live peacefully on the surface, pretending to be a loving couple in front of other Zergs, enduring the perverted side of the female Zerg behind closed doors. He even tried to use alcohol to bolster his courage to get closer to this somewhat unfamiliar female Zerg. When the female Zerg got pregnant, he thought maybe it was just because of the species’ characteristics…
He relaxed after a long time. It was just a species characteristic; the Zerg of his heart didn’t dislike him; it just pressed him down because of its species characteristics, forcing him to reveal embarrassing aspects.
He took the initiative to learn about the preferences of the female Zerg of the Heavenly tribe for his partner. He opened up completely under the female Zerg, cooperating in those mating positions that had once made him feel humiliated. He laid on the female Zerg’s abdomen, feeling the egg growing day by day…
After laying the egg, Jun Ye’s attitude toward him seemed unchanged, seemingly no different from before. However, Joshua could sense the discomfort in Jun Ye’s eyes when looking at the egg, as well as the refusal to be intimate with him. Even when ready to unleash, Jun Ye preferred to go to the bathroom to handle it himself. And today, when he wasn’t around, Jun Ye used his name to purchase contraceptives that could only be bought by male Zergs and not for him…
Joshua recalled what he had wanted to do, besides questioning Jun Ye, while gripping his shoulders. He wanted to dominate Jun Ye (censored1this was in the original text… I don’t know what it was exactly but I’m guess it’s def nsfw lol), to prevent him from being interested in other male Zergs. He was an S-rank male Zerg, definitely capable of making any female Zerg unable to resist.
However, Jun Ye, his beloved Zerg, said he liked him, had only slept with him, and would accompany him for a lifetime…
!
Suddenly, Jun Ye laid out everything Joshua had fantasized about in front of him, leaving him bewildered and at a loss.
“But, but…” Joshua struggled to find evidence to refute, even though he didn’t know why he wanted to.
Jun Ye waited for Joshua’s response, adjusting the position slightly, making him sit on his lap. Jun Ye had initially embraced Joshua directly, causing Joshua’s chin to knock against his chest, and a strange tingling sensation spread.
Joshua seemed to recall something and turned to Jun Ye for help, saying, “But there was one missing from that box…”
“…Couldn’t I have unpacked and checked it myself?” Jun Ye suggested.
Biting his lip, Joshua stared at Jun Ye, unable to resist saying, “Your belt was undone!” After all, a female Zerg shouldn’t be the one to test the male’s contraceptive, right?
Jun Ye looked at Joshua strangely. They say that when a woman suspects her man is cheating, every one of them is as good as a detective. How come male Zergs have this skill too?
“I’ve told you, that thing isn’t for you to wear.” Besides, even if you wear it, it won’t work. Recognize yourself.
Various thoughts of “old lovers” and “other male Zergs” suddenly emerged from Joshua’s mind. Just when he felt annoyed, he remembered the female Zerg mentioning a test…
Can female Zergs use male Zergs c*ndoms? Joshua, who had been a straight male Zerg for more than ten years, fell into silence.
And another thing!
“Why do we need contraception?” A straightforward inquiry from a straight male Zerg.
—You said you like me, didn’t you? Why not let me lay eggs for you?
Jun Ye, the pseudo-straight-male-Zerg2It references to his past as a normal human male, also: “…”
—And you dare ask me why I should lay eggs?
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Jun Ye decided to give up treatment. Things that could be resolved with action shouldn’t be talked about blindly.
So, Jun Ye threw Joshua onto the bed, picked up a blue square packet of c*ndoms, pinched it with two fingers, and looked at the male Zerg crawling up on the bed, smirking, “Do you want to help me check the goods, Lord Husband?”
The topic changed too suddenly, and Joshua was a bit confused. Wasn’t Jun Ye unwilling to mate with him anymore?
Hesitating, Joshua reached out and took the contraceptive from Jun Ye. He looked up at Jun Ye, who had an encouraging look, and cautiously tore open the packaging along the serrated edge.
Liquid spilled out, and Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye. The female Zerg was quietly watching him, without urging or displeasure.
Joshua felt a bit relieved and asked with some nervousness, “Should I help you put it on?”
Jun Ye nodded.
Joshua’s gaze lowered to the familiar belt, and his face turned red in an instant.
Kneeling closer, his claws gently touched the sides of the belt that had left marks on him.
“Do you like it?” Jun Ye asked.
!
“Uh-huh,” Joshua responded softly, one hand holding the already opened c*ndom, struggling to unwrap it with the other.
Jun Ye placed one hand gently on Joshua’s head, and with the other, he considerately took the small packet from Joshua’s hand.
The sound of the metal buckle being opened was light but echoed clearly in the quiet bedroom.
After some fumbling, Joshua stopped and looked at Jun Ye again, along with the small packet in his hand.
Jun Ye didn’t move his hand and said softly, “Continue.”
As for what to continue, looking at the area in front of him, Joshua certainly understood.
Jun Ye caressed the smooth hair of the young master with one hand, suddenly recalling the last time the young master looked embarrassed after licking the “cream.” He thought about asking if the young master could do that too, but considering they were Zergs prioritizing reproduction, it seemed too innocent.
…
Cough cough… Joshua wiped the liquid droplets from his mouth, and practicality proved that theory turning into practice was somewhat challenging. Moreover, Joshua, as a male Zerg, couldn’t possibly attend courses for female techniques. He had merely stumbled upon something similar on the star network.
Jun Ye silently watched as the young master struggled a few times. The young master didn’t do particularly well, only passable at best. Jun Ye’s psychological satisfaction far outweighed any physical satisfaction.
He couldn’t help but think if the young master was as unimpressive during their previous encounters. Male Zergs were different from females; as the receiving party, Joshua probably wouldn’t feel much.
“That’s enough,” Jun Ye said, pressing down on Joshua’s shoulder, who seemed prepared to swallow him whole. Seeing the soaked packet in Joshua’s hand, Jun Ye frowned slightly, then threw it into the trash.
Joshua looked at Jun Ye as he discarded the packet, licked his lips excitedly, and said, “Shall I continue?”
Jun Ye pressed his eyes on Joshua and said, “Go get another one.”
“Oh…” Joshua reluctantly stepped back and bent over at the bed, picking up another packet and tearing it open.
Ptui ptui3sounds of spitting! Joshua’s face scrunched up, complaining, “Sweet!”
Jun Ye: “…”
“You’re so sticky and wet…” Joshua grumbled, suddenly remembering something. While he was busy, he asked, “Is the liquid on this the same as the lubricant you used on me before?”
“…Why don’t you taste that too?” Jun Ye suggested.
Joshua looked at Jun Ye with disdain. “I don’t want to.” He continued, “It’s sweet, gooey, and sticky.”
Jun Ye: “…” You even tasted that?
“Damp and wet, quite not enough…” Joshua mumbled. Realizing what he said, he blushed, lowered his head, straightened his waist, and fumbled his hands behind him.
Jun Ye also had a speechless moment, asking, “Is it enough?”
“Seems not enough…”
Did he think Jun Ye wouldn’t get up just because he was down?
…
Joshua lay on the pillow, panting heavily, occasionally turning his head to look at the Zerg behind him.
!!!
The sensation of having something in between them felt strange, and without those barbs, it gave him the illusion that the Zerg behind him wasn’t Jun Ye. Jun Ye furrowed his brows, unsure if it was due to the unique material of the c*ndom or an issue with his own body, but every cell in his body was screaming for more. The feeling he got after so much effort was even less intense than when the young master licked him.
“Sigh…” Jun Ye withdrew.
Joshua, now unsupported, collapsed onto the cushion, confusedly turning his head to see Jun Ye throwing something into the trash.
Their eyes met for a moment, and neither of them moved.
Joshua opened his mouth, asking, “Are we done?”
Jun Ye, with his eyes lowered, looked at the pinkish hue on the male Zerg’s skin, and his spirit was torn between continuing and laying eggs.
“Uh…” Joshua hesitated, then remembered something. He asked, “Not doing it anymore?”
“Shall I help you with my mouth?” Joshua was about to get up.
“Don’t move!” Jun Ye instinctively glared at him.
Hearing this, Joshua obediently stayed in position, raising his body a bit more.
Jun Ye: “…”
He’s a female Zerg! It’s just an egg! Just lay it!!
“Ah!” Joshua exclaimed, and the cushion sunk a bit more.
Familiar barbs…
…
After their bath, Jun Ye carried Joshua, who was soaked with water vapor, back to the newly laid bed. He threw the scattered small packets into the trash.
With a stern expression, he said, “This batch is not good.”
Joshua, satisfied, curled up under the blanket, half asleep. Hearing Jun Ye’s words, he lazily rubbed against the pillow, murmuring, “If Jun doesn’t want more offspring… I’ll just take the medicine…”
The young master’s voice was gentle, like a feather gliding over the heart.
Jun Ye sighed softly, sat at the edge of the bed, and reached out to stroke the male Zerg’s tender cheek. He said, “It’s not that I don’t like cubs…”
He had reconciled with the idea. If they were a perfect match, that didn’t mean they would succeed every time. Could he really lay eggs with the young master forever?
Under Jun Ye’s gentle touch, Joshua hummed softly and soon fell asleep.
Jun Ye looked around the room, feeling that something was missing. When he was hesitant to climb into bed and embrace the young master for rest, he suddenly realized what was missing.
He swiftly got up, realizing that the twin egg wasn’t there.
The egg had been taken out by the young master in the morning, but Jun Ye only noticed its absence when he was about to get into bed. He thought the young master might have left it downstairs.
When he opened the door, a large egg covered in a knitted cover rolled in.
Staring at the egg, Jun Ye fell into contemplation.
—Did the young master leave the egg at the door?
After closing the door, Jun Ye picked up the egg. The knitted cover on the Zerg egg looked somewhat dirty. If he didn’t trust the home security system, Jun Ye would have suspected that some mischievous child had used the egg as a ball.
Removing the knitted cover, Jun Ye wiped the large white egg with a towel. As he held the enlarged version of a chicken egg in his hand, Jun Ye found it challenging to imagine that two male Zergs similar to the young master would crawl out from inside of it.
The incubation period for Zergs wasn’t long. About ten days later, Joshua, enthusiastically holding the Zerg egg, walked into the bathroom, intending to add a “boiled egg” to the hot spring for tonight. However, the egg started rolling on its own and emitted a slight cracking sound.
“Ah!”
Joshua exclaimed, quickly surveying the bathroom. His gaze landed on the towel basin where he had previously placed the egg. He hurried over, carefully placing the egg on a stack of towels.
At that moment, Jun Ye emerged from the bath, wearing a bathrobe, and walked to the young master’s side, crouching down on one knee.
Looking at the clearly cracked egg, Jun Ye asked with uncertainty, “Is it going to hatch?”
The young master, still busy with the recording device terminal, nodded excitedly, “Our little ones are about to come out!”
“Do we need to prepare something?” Zerg midwives? Tools for washing and keeping the offspring warm?
“Of course!” Joshua disassembled the camera, remotely adjusting it to face the Zerg egg from the top, saying, “I want to record the entire process of our little one’s birth comprehensively!”
Jun Ye: “…”
Why did it sound so unreliable?
Just then, the egg emitted a crisp cracking sound, and Jun Ye saw a small claw resembling that of a certain reptile4It wasn’t specified but I’m assuming it’s crocodile? poking out from the crack in the shell.
Jun Ye silently held his breath, his brain almost empty, and his eyes fixed on that small claw covered with light golden scales.
What would come out from inside? A lizard? No, a big insect? A humanoid infant?
No matter what emerged, it was sure to give his heart a considerable shock.
Crack—Crack—Crack—
Several consecutive sounds echoed, and the hole in the eggshell grew larger. Now, Jun Ye could vaguely see the “thing” inside. Two hands, a body, and a head; for now, he couldn’t see the legs, but it was evident that the offspring was humanoid.
As the hole grew large enough for it to crawl out, the hatchling stopped scratching and began smoothing out the outer edges of the damaged eggshell.
Jun Ye suddenly remembered that this was a double-yolk egg, but he only saw one offspring breaking out. What about the other one?
Joshua also noticed something was wrong. He didn’t dare to use any means to check, fearing it might disturb the hatching process. He could only anxiously peer inside.
When about half of the eggshell was destroyed, the hatchling stopped scratching and began slowly smoothing the edges of the hole.
Jun Ye and Joshua exchanged glances, realizing that this hatchling seemed to be quite particular.
All the edges were meticulously smoothed by the tiny claws, which then stroked them a few more times. Using the scales on its palms, the hatchling further polished the eggshell, even sweeping away the eggshell fragments scattered on the towel, creating an entrance grand enough for an emperor.
After finishing the opening, instead of coming out, the hatchling retreated further inside the egg.
Some kind of limb conflict5I couldn’t think of a better way to translate this since the sentence is peculiar, but basically there’s a lot of movements inside, and they could see some limbs moving around lol seemed to have occurred inside the egg, causing it to wobble.
Both Jun Ye and Joshua were on the opposite side of the opening, unable to see the situation inside accurately. They couldn’t move to a different angle to get a better view, and any sudden movements might scare the hatchling, generating fear of the outside world.
Considering how confidently the hatchling had broken the egg, Jun Ye wasn’t worried about it being scared. However, since the young master had given him various looks, he decided to wait a bit longer.
After about half a minute, the egg’s movement subsided. A small, moist hand emerged from the cracked egg.
Jun Ye’s eyes flickered; indeed, it was a hand—a miniature version of the young master’s hand, but with a softer, fleshier feel.
However, this hand seemed smaller than the claws that had emerged earlier. Was this another hatchling?
This little hatchling placed its paw on the towel after poking it through the hole, but then it remained still. It seemed to have the intention of going back inside. There were a few sounds of the hatchling tapping on the eggshell. Afterward, the little hatchling shakily extended its small head and reached out with another hand.
It was a pale and translucent hatchling, with the typical white color of the Zerg species. It almost had a crystalline and transparent quality to its appearance. The few light golden fetal hairs on its head resembled the ones of the young master.
After crawling out, the pale hatchling lay on the towel beside the egg, its eyes still closed. Despite that, it kept facing the direction of the open part of the egg, unsure whether it wanted to crawl back in or wait for its sibling to emerge.
Joshua took out two hatchling towels from the storage device, prepared to handle the offspring.
At this point, the clawed hatchling swaggered out. Its hair was much denser than its sibling’s, and it had a warm brown color distinct from the young master’s platinum blonde or Jun Ye’s black hair. Additionally, its eyes were open, displaying deep brown vertical pupils.
The size contrast between the two hatchlings became apparent when they were next to each other. The first hatchling, initially seeming small, now appeared underdeveloped when lying beside its sibling.
Joshua, feeling sorry for the smaller hatchling, held the towels, intending to pick it up. However, the smaller one sensed something and hurriedly crawled under the belly of its larger sibling, nuzzling against it.
“…”
The larger hatchling lifted one hand, glanced at its belly, and then crawled away with an expression of disdain.
The smaller hatchling clumsily followed the larger one, bumping into its posterior a few times. In return, the larger hatchling glared at the smaller one, threatening it with the claws on its paws.
Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye, wondering if their hatchlings would end up fighting. He received a look of concern from Jun Ye.
Jun Ye was prepared to pick up the smaller hatchling, concerned about their relationship.
Suddenly, the larger hatchling lifted its head, sniffed like a small animal, and quickly crawled towards Jun Ye, who was holding the towels. Jun Ye placed the towels in the path of the approaching hatchling. The hatchling climbed onto the towels Jun Ye was holding and, like a skilled climber, ascended his arm.
Jun Ye watched in bewilderment as the hatchling sniffed and climbed up his arm, eventually grabbing onto his clothes with one paw and tugging while opening its mouth.
Jun Ye’s thoughts raced, wondering what the hatchling was trying to do. He quickly pulled up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto the robe, attempting to nuzzle forward.
“What the hell! What are you trying to do?” Jun Ye exclaimed.
Jun Ye tried to pull up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto it, struggling to move forward.
Jun Ye promptly pressed down on his thigh, feeling as if he were hit by a fluffy mass, only to discover the smaller hatchling climbing up his leg. It seemed to be heading for the same destination as its sibling.
Jun Ye looked at Joshua in panic. The situation was getting out of hand. Meanwhile, the young master, with an eager expression, gazed at Jun Ye’s chest and even licked his lips.
“…”
Something was definitely wrong with this world.
[Everything was switched up √]
Jun Ye felt stiff all over. The larger hatchling at his chest was anxiously pulling at his bathrobe. The small mouth kept nibbling on the robe, and the smaller hatchling, with closed eyes, was unsteadily climbing up his leg, seemingly seeking the same target.
Jun Ye, in a helpless state, looked at the young master, hoping he would snap out of it and not complicate the situation. He asked, “Do we have any milk formula for the hatchlings at home?”
“Huh?” Joshua was still a bit disoriented. Jun Ye patiently repeated his question, and Joshua nodded, saying, “Yes!”
“Quickly prepare it… Never mind, I’ll do it later. For now, use a towel to get this one off my chest.”
Jun Ye dared not tug on the claws that were tugging at his clothes. Although the hatchling’s strength wasn’t great, it was more than enough to pull at Jun Ye’s clothes.
“Okay,” Joshua said as he unfolded the towel and approached. He had long wanted to get rid of this food-stealing hatchling.
“How can I let a little brat like you eat something that even I, the Lord Husband, haven’t tasted yet?”
Joshua wrapped the larger hatchling in the towel, and it struggled, claws grabbing onto Jun Ye’s clothes.
“Don’t move,” Jun Ye instructed Joshua to pause. He carefully rescued his robe from the hatchling’s claws. He didn’t want to be embarrassed if the hatchling accidentally exposed him.
Joshua stood up, holding the larger hatchling in the towel. Jun Ye, using another towel, carefully lifted the smaller hatchling that had almost fallen from his leg.
Two newly-appointed fathers struggled with awkward postures, not accustomed to holding cubs.
Jun Ye, managing with the smaller hatchling, was relatively calm. The hatchling remained quiet, pretending to be lifeless when Jun Ye held it.
On the other hand, Joshua struggled with the larger hatchling. His posture looked more like he was handling a hazardous material than cradling a hatchling. The hatchling, moreover, was agitated, trying to escape from Joshua’s hold.
The two fathers exchanged glances and couldn’t help but find each other’s predicament amusing.
Following the instructions from the StarNet, Jun Ye used a soft towel to gently clean the hatchling. He then prepared a tiny outfit and placed the hatchling in a cleaned basin.
Despite the fuss, the smaller hatchling remained obedient, playing dead and occasionally blowing a few bubbles.
Jun Ye chuckled as he approached Joshua to help him with the messy situation. Joshua, still holding his robe, showed Jun the small scratches on his arm.
Jun Ye laughed and said, “What’s the big deal? Don’t you often scratch me too?”
Joshua blushed, “It’s not the same. I only do that when I can’t take it anymore…”
Jun Ye, patting his cheek to cool down, looked at Joshua and said, “He scratched you. It’s fine; we have to get used to it. These hatchlings are quite energetic.”
Joshua pouted, “He doesn’t seem like me at all. My male Father said I was calm and quiet when I crawled out of the egg. This is definitely your influence!”
Jun Ye raised an eyebrow, “Well, it’s your egg, and it can’t be anyone else’s.”
The two hatchlings indeed had significant personality differences. If not for their pure white appearance and the absence of markings representing the female caste of the Zerg race, Jun Ye would have suspected the larger hatchling to be a female.
Just as Joshua was directing the household robots to fetch the hatchling’s beds, the larger one crawled out of the groove formed by two single Zerg sofas. When Joshua heard a thud and turned around, the little one had already scurried into the kitchen.
Just as Joshua was about to get up and bring the lively hatchling back, he saw a cute little golden-haired cub, which had quietly started crawling out.
It’s really troublesome when both of them are so active.
The sofa armrests weren’t too low, but it wasn’t a height that the Zergs hatchlings couldn’t flip over. Although the larger hatchling could flip over and crawl swiftly without any issues, it didn’t mean the smaller one could afford to fall.
Joshua had to bend down to pick up the struggling little one that had climbed onto the armrest. The small hatchling immediately stopped moving, pretending to be lifeless when Joshua placed it on a small blanket.
Then, when Joshua stood up, the small hatchling quietly started climbing again.
Joshua had to turn back.
At that moment, Jun Ye also emerged from the kitchen, holding two milk bottles in one hand and the larger hatchling in the other. His expression was stern.
Joshua asked anxiously, “Did he eat it?!”
–– I haven’t even tasted it yet! How could he eat it first!
Jun Ye’s expression darkened even further. “No…”
“Phew, that’s good then,” Joshua sighed in relief, took the milk bottles from Jun Ye, and cheekily kissed him on the face before leaving satisfied.
Jun Ye also muttered, “If the young master didn’t press his claws deliberately against my chest when kissing, I would be much happier.”
Feeding them was also a headache. Jun Ye followed the posture from a StarNet video tutorial, making the hatchling sit on his lap. Before the hatchling could turn its head to attack, Jun Ye swiftly inserted the bottle into its mouth.
The hatchling hesitated, bit the object in its mouth, instinctively sucked a bit, and then sniffed Jun Ye’s body, wrinkling its little face in confusion.
On the other hand, Joshua faced a bit more trouble. Whenever he picked up the small hatchling, it played dead, not moving even when he inserted the bottle into its mouth.
Watching the larger hatchling on the other side finish the milk bottle, Joshua became anxious. “Jun, will this little golden one survive?”
Golden…
They were both hatchlings, and neither of them had names yet.
Jun Ye held the smaller hatchling and took the bottle from Joshua. Just as they were about to exchange the hatchlings, the one in Jun Ye’s arms extended its tiny claw towards Joshua.
Joshua, surprised, asked, “Is the little brown one going to help feed its little brother?”
After a moment’s thought, he corrected himself, “Or maybe… older brother?” After all, the smaller one was the first to crawl out of the egg.
This became quite a dilemma…
Jun Ye tentatively released the brown hatchling in his arms, and instead of staring at his chest, it joyfully crawled onto Joshua’s legs. It then snatched the milk bottle from Joshua’s hand and inserted it into its mouth.
Joshua was left speechless.
It seems like they knew why the little golden hatchling is so small…
Perhaps sensing the approach of its same-brood sibling, the “playing-dead” little golden hatchling also started moving. It took clumsy steps towards its brother, eventually falling onto the round belly of the brown hatchling, where it lay motionless.
Joshua looked horrified: “Cub! You’ll hurt yourself like this!”
The brown hatchling, now wearing an expression as if it were about to die, was almost hit in the face by its brother falling onto its stomach. Protecting the milk bottle, it raised its small legs and tried to kick away the weight on top of it. Unable to succeed, the brown hatchling laboriously climbed onto Jun Ye’s body, still holding the milk bottle.
Concerned, Joshua watched as the little one climbed up Jun Ye’s legs, and then turned to Jun Ye, saying, “Jun, should we separate the hatchlings and raise them separately?”
Jun Ye also felt a bit troubled. Cubs were really a hassle.
“Let’s see for now…” The household wasn’t lacking in milk powder, and considering that the brown hatchling had smoothed out the eggshell to let its sibling come out first, maybe they could peacefully coexist.
The brown hatchling sat on Jun Ye’s legs, looked at the milk bottle in its hand, then at its own belly. Finally, it stared at the golden hatchling crawling towards it and reluctantly handed over the milk bottle.
Well, here you go.
The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, and under the gaze of the three Zergs, slowly opened its mouth and began sucking after a while.
Joshua relaxed. Jun Ye leaned his head on Joshua’s shoulder. As for the brown hatchling, after the golden one bit the bottle, it let go and moved towards Jun Ye, trying to snuggle into his embrace.
“Here, it’s yours.”
The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, hesitated, and then started sipping in small sips.
Joshua sighed in relief. “They’re getting along better now.”
After a night of commotion, when the hatchlings finally rested, Joshua lay on Jun Ye’s chest, and from his vantage point, he could see the two little ones lying on the hatchling bed by their own bed.
The smaller hatchling buried its head in the abdomen of the larger one. The larger hatchling frowned and kicked the smaller one away. However, the smaller one persistently stuck to it…
So tiring…
“Jun, let’s use contraceptives in the future…?”
“…Let’s talk about it later,” Jun Ye pushed away the restless claws of the young master, saying, “The hatchlings are too young; we need to take care of them.” There was no time for mating.
If there were parent assessments for Zergs, they would definitely be considered unqualified. Even taking care of the hatchlings was challenging, let alone educating them. After all, these were two lives, and bringing them into this world meant they had to take responsibility. They weren’t prepared for this.
Actually, it wasn’t until these two little ones crawled out of their eggs and drove them crazy that Jun Ye also felt the genuine sense of being a father. They were his children.
Joshua felt a bit disheartened, counting on his claws the time it would take for the hatchlings to grow up. Oh, goodness, it was going to take forever. No wonder most male Zergs recruited new female attendants shortly after their cubs were born.
In the future, he must be diligent about taking contraceptives; he couldn’t afford to bring such terrifying things as hatchlings into the world.
“Jun, I feel uncomfortable. Only if you feed me milk can I feel better,” Joshua rubbed against Jun Ye, his paws gently touching Jun Ye’s collar.
“Get lost!” Jun Ye pushed the young master down from his body, turning away with a black expression.
He had just specifically researched that, whether in the Zerg or the Heavenly Tribe, few females naturally produced milk. Most used medication to induce lactation, and even if they did produce milk, they wouldn’t specially feed it to the hatchlings.
In the Zerg world, it was more of a romantic gesture between a female and a male. The Heavenly Tribe had even more variations; a quick search on the Network revealed numerous images and videos of using the lactation medicine on their males.
“Jun~”
The young master elongated his tone, his claws reaching up from behind.
“Go away!” Jun Ye pressed down on the young master’s paws with one hand and operated the terminal with the other, sending links to several Heavenly Tribe pages to the first contact.
Joshua’s wrist terminal vibrated violently, and Jun Ye’s expression grew darker. He had just directly pressed the young master’s claws onto his chest…
“Cough, cough…” Joshua turned his face away, coughing lightly to cover his amusement. He was the one who had set the special reminder, and, of course, he wouldn’t fail to recognize it.
“Really, just say it directly. Why play these romantic games~”
Joshua chuckled as he withdrew his claws, lying on his back and opening the terminal to click on the first link.
A black screen gradually displayed, accompanied by a soft moaning sound.
Joshua blushed, feeling embarrassed at why Jun Ye would send him something like this. However, as the video unfolded, showing a slightly raised chest, a hint of a blush, and milky liquid…
Sharp teeth biting, a moaning male Zerg…
Joshua’s expression froze on his face.
Special news for today! As it’s this humble translator’s birthday in two days and i won’t be around much, I’m releasing some extra chapters for all my projects to celebrate with you all .>)
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Joshua’s expression froze, and in his mind, it felt like fireworks exploding, a chaotic sensation akin to being bombarded by dozens of starships equipped with particle cannons.
Jun said he liked me…
Since meeting Jun Ye, Joshua had a feeling that the other must like him, or why else would Jun Ye have saved him? He was such an excellent male Zerg—handsome, high-ranking, never abusive to female Zergs—he was like the dream alpha mate for all female Zergs. Of course, Jun Ye would like him!
Back then, the young Joshua thought reservedly, “Since you like me so much, and I find you quite charming, I’ll force myself to like you too.”
This kind of thinking persisted for a long time, until the day of his awakening, when the female Zerg pinned him to the bathtub wall…
Being humiliated like that, it seemed like all the liking was just his wishful thinking. However, he realized that his affection for this Zerg was much deeper than he had imagined. Even after being humiliated, he couldn’t bring himself to activate the punishment device in the female Zerg’s collar. Subsequently, the female Zerg opened his body for further humiliation, the pain and strange pleasure intertwined. Joshua felt uncomfortable and disgusted by his own reactions, but mostly, he felt lost about the future.
Later, the female Zerg didn’t leave. Joshua thought he could continue to live peacefully on the surface, pretending to be a loving couple in front of other Zergs, enduring the perverted side of the female Zerg behind closed doors. He even tried to use alcohol to bolster his courage to get closer to this somewhat unfamiliar female Zerg. When the female Zerg got pregnant, he thought maybe it was just because of the species’ characteristics…
He relaxed after a long time. It was just a species characteristic; the Zerg of his heart didn’t dislike him; it just pressed him down because of its species characteristics, forcing him to reveal embarrassing aspects.
He took the initiative to learn about the preferences of the female Zerg of the Heavenly tribe for his partner. He opened up completely under the female Zerg, cooperating in those mating positions that had once made him feel humiliated. He laid on the female Zerg’s abdomen, feeling the egg growing day by day…
After laying the egg, Jun Ye’s attitude toward him seemed unchanged, seemingly no different from before. However, Joshua could sense the discomfort in Jun Ye’s eyes when looking at the egg, as well as the refusal to be intimate with him. Even when ready to unleash, Jun Ye preferred to go to the bathroom to handle it himself. And today, when he wasn’t around, Jun Ye used his name to purchase contraceptives that could only be bought by male Zergs and not for him…
Joshua recalled what he had wanted to do, besides questioning Jun Ye, while gripping his shoulders. He wanted to dominate Jun Ye (censored1this was in the original text… I don’t know what it was exactly but I’m guess it’s def nsfw lol), to prevent him from being interested in other male Zergs. He was an S-rank male Zerg, definitely capable of making any female Zerg unable to resist.
However, Jun Ye, his beloved Zerg, said he liked him, had only slept with him, and would accompany him for a lifetime…
!
Suddenly, Jun Ye laid out everything Joshua had fantasized about in front of him, leaving him bewildered and at a loss.
“But, but…” Joshua struggled to find evidence to refute, even though he didn’t know why he wanted to.
Jun Ye waited for Joshua’s response, adjusting the position slightly, making him sit on his lap. Jun Ye had initially embraced Joshua directly, causing Joshua’s chin to knock against his chest, and a strange tingling sensation spread.
Joshua seemed to recall something and turned to Jun Ye for help, saying, “But there was one missing from that box…”
“…Couldn’t I have unpacked and checked it myself?” Jun Ye suggested.
Biting his lip, Joshua stared at Jun Ye, unable to resist saying, “Your belt was undone!” After all, a female Zerg shouldn’t be the one to test the male’s contraceptive, right?
Jun Ye looked at Joshua strangely. They say that when a woman suspects her man is cheating, every one of them is as good as a detective. How come male Zergs have this skill too?
“I’ve told you, that thing isn’t for you to wear.” Besides, even if you wear it, it won’t work. Recognize yourself.
Various thoughts of “old lovers” and “other male Zergs” suddenly emerged from Joshua’s mind. Just when he felt annoyed, he remembered the female Zerg mentioning a test…
Can female Zergs use male Zergs c*ndoms? Joshua, who had been a straight male Zerg for more than ten years, fell into silence.
And another thing!
“Why do we need contraception?” A straightforward inquiry from a straight male Zerg.
—You said you like me, didn’t you? Why not let me lay eggs for you?
Jun Ye, the pseudo-straight-male-Zerg2It references to his past as a normal human male, also: “…”
—And you dare ask me why I should lay eggs?
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Jun Ye decided to give up treatment. Things that could be resolved with action shouldn’t be talked about blindly.
So, Jun Ye threw Joshua onto the bed, picked up a blue square packet of c*ndoms, pinched it with two fingers, and looked at the male Zerg crawling up on the bed, smirking, “Do you want to help me check the goods, Lord Husband?”
The topic changed too suddenly, and Joshua was a bit confused. Wasn’t Jun Ye unwilling to mate with him anymore?
Hesitating, Joshua reached out and took the contraceptive from Jun Ye. He looked up at Jun Ye, who had an encouraging look, and cautiously tore open the packaging along the serrated edge.
Liquid spilled out, and Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye. The female Zerg was quietly watching him, without urging or displeasure.
Joshua felt a bit relieved and asked with some nervousness, “Should I help you put it on?”
Jun Ye nodded.
Joshua’s gaze lowered to the familiar belt, and his face turned red in an instant.
Kneeling closer, his claws gently touched the sides of the belt that had left marks on him.
“Do you like it?” Jun Ye asked.
!
“Uh-huh,” Joshua responded softly, one hand holding the already opened c*ndom, struggling to unwrap it with the other.
Jun Ye placed one hand gently on Joshua’s head, and with the other, he considerately took the small packet from Joshua’s hand.
The sound of the metal buckle being opened was light but echoed clearly in the quiet bedroom.
After some fumbling, Joshua stopped and looked at Jun Ye again, along with the small packet in his hand.
Jun Ye didn’t move his hand and said softly, “Continue.”
As for what to continue, looking at the area in front of him, Joshua certainly understood.
Jun Ye caressed the smooth hair of the young master with one hand, suddenly recalling the last time the young master looked embarrassed after licking the “cream.” He thought about asking if the young master could do that too, but considering they were Zergs prioritizing reproduction, it seemed too innocent.
…
Cough cough… Joshua wiped the liquid droplets from his mouth, and practicality proved that theory turning into practice was somewhat challenging. Moreover, Joshua, as a male Zerg, couldn’t possibly attend courses for female techniques. He had merely stumbled upon something similar on the star network.
Jun Ye silently watched as the young master struggled a few times. The young master didn’t do particularly well, only passable at best. Jun Ye’s psychological satisfaction far outweighed any physical satisfaction.
He couldn’t help but think if the young master was as unimpressive during their previous encounters. Male Zergs were different from females; as the receiving party, Joshua probably wouldn’t feel much.
“That’s enough,” Jun Ye said, pressing down on Joshua’s shoulder, who seemed prepared to swallow him whole. Seeing the soaked packet in Joshua’s hand, Jun Ye frowned slightly, then threw it into the trash.
Joshua looked at Jun Ye as he discarded the packet, licked his lips excitedly, and said, “Shall I continue?”
Jun Ye pressed his eyes on Joshua and said, “Go get another one.”
“Oh…” Joshua reluctantly stepped back and bent over at the bed, picking up another packet and tearing it open.
Ptui ptui3sounds of spitting! Joshua’s face scrunched up, complaining, “Sweet!”
Jun Ye: “…”
“You’re so sticky and wet…” Joshua grumbled, suddenly remembering something. While he was busy, he asked, “Is the liquid on this the same as the lubricant you used on me before?”
“…Why don’t you taste that too?” Jun Ye suggested.
Joshua looked at Jun Ye with disdain. “I don’t want to.” He continued, “It’s sweet, gooey, and sticky.”
Jun Ye: “…” You even tasted that?
“Damp and wet, quite not enough…” Joshua mumbled. Realizing what he said, he blushed, lowered his head, straightened his waist, and fumbled his hands behind him.
Jun Ye also had a speechless moment, asking, “Is it enough?”
“Seems not enough…”
Did he think Jun Ye wouldn’t get up just because he was down?
…
Joshua lay on the pillow, panting heavily, occasionally turning his head to look at the Zerg behind him.
!!!
The sensation of having something in between them felt strange, and without those barbs, it gave him the illusion that the Zerg behind him wasn’t Jun Ye. Jun Ye furrowed his brows, unsure if it was due to the unique material of the c*ndom or an issue with his own body, but every cell in his body was screaming for more. The feeling he got after so much effort was even less intense than when the young master licked him.
“Sigh…” Jun Ye withdrew.
Joshua, now unsupported, collapsed onto the cushion, confusedly turning his head to see Jun Ye throwing something into the trash.
Their eyes met for a moment, and neither of them moved.
Joshua opened his mouth, asking, “Are we done?”
Jun Ye, with his eyes lowered, looked at the pinkish hue on the male Zerg’s skin, and his spirit was torn between continuing and laying eggs.
“Uh…” Joshua hesitated, then remembered something. He asked, “Not doing it anymore?”
“Shall I help you with my mouth?” Joshua was about to get up.
“Don’t move!” Jun Ye instinctively glared at him.
Hearing this, Joshua obediently stayed in position, raising his body a bit more.
Jun Ye: “…”
He’s a female Zerg! It’s just an egg! Just lay it!!
“Ah!” Joshua exclaimed, and the cushion sunk a bit more.
Familiar barbs…
…
After their bath, Jun Ye carried Joshua, who was soaked with water vapor, back to the newly laid bed. He threw the scattered small packets into the trash.
With a stern expression, he said, “This batch is not good.”
Joshua, satisfied, curled up under the blanket, half asleep. Hearing Jun Ye’s words, he lazily rubbed against the pillow, murmuring, “If Jun doesn’t want more offspring… I’ll just take the medicine…”
The young master’s voice was gentle, like a feather gliding over the heart.
Jun Ye sighed softly, sat at the edge of the bed, and reached out to stroke the male Zerg’s tender cheek. He said, “It’s not that I don’t like cubs…”
He had reconciled with the idea. If they were a perfect match, that didn’t mean they would succeed every time. Could he really lay eggs with the young master forever?
Under Jun Ye’s gentle touch, Joshua hummed softly and soon fell asleep.
Jun Ye looked around the room, feeling that something was missing. When he was hesitant to climb into bed and embrace the young master for rest, he suddenly realized what was missing.
He swiftly got up, realizing that the twin egg wasn’t there.
The egg had been taken out by the young master in the morning, but Jun Ye only noticed its absence when he was about to get into bed. He thought the young master might have left it downstairs.
When he opened the door, a large egg covered in a knitted cover rolled in.
Staring at the egg, Jun Ye fell into contemplation.
—Did the young master leave the egg at the door?
After closing the door, Jun Ye picked up the egg. The knitted cover on the Zerg egg looked somewhat dirty. If he didn’t trust the home security system, Jun Ye would have suspected that some mischievous child had used the egg as a ball.
Removing the knitted cover, Jun Ye wiped the large white egg with a towel. As he held the enlarged version of a chicken egg in his hand, Jun Ye found it challenging to imagine that two male Zergs similar to the young master would crawl out from inside of it.
The incubation period for Zergs wasn’t long. About ten days later, Joshua, enthusiastically holding the Zerg egg, walked into the bathroom, intending to add a “boiled egg” to the hot spring for tonight. However, the egg started rolling on its own and emitted a slight cracking sound.
“Ah!”
Joshua exclaimed, quickly surveying the bathroom. His gaze landed on the towel basin where he had previously placed the egg. He hurried over, carefully placing the egg on a stack of towels.
At that moment, Jun Ye emerged from the bath, wearing a bathrobe, and walked to the young master’s side, crouching down on one knee.
Looking at the clearly cracked egg, Jun Ye asked with uncertainty, “Is it going to hatch?”
The young master, still busy with the recording device terminal, nodded excitedly, “Our little ones are about to come out!”
“Do we need to prepare something?” Zerg midwives? Tools for washing and keeping the offspring warm?
“Of course!” Joshua disassembled the camera, remotely adjusting it to face the Zerg egg from the top, saying, “I want to record the entire process of our little one’s birth comprehensively!”
Jun Ye: “…”
Why did it sound so unreliable?
Just then, the egg emitted a crisp cracking sound, and Jun Ye saw a small claw resembling that of a certain reptile4It wasn’t specified but I’m assuming it’s crocodile? poking out from the crack in the shell.
Jun Ye silently held his breath, his brain almost empty, and his eyes fixed on that small claw covered with light golden scales.
What would come out from inside? A lizard? No, a big insect? A humanoid infant?
No matter what emerged, it was sure to give his heart a considerable shock.
Crack—Crack—Crack—
Several consecutive sounds echoed, and the hole in the eggshell grew larger. Now, Jun Ye could vaguely see the “thing” inside. Two hands, a body, and a head; for now, he couldn’t see the legs, but it was evident that the offspring was humanoid.
As the hole grew large enough for it to crawl out, the hatchling stopped scratching and began smoothing out the outer edges of the damaged eggshell.
Jun Ye suddenly remembered that this was a double-yolk egg, but he only saw one offspring breaking out. What about the other one?
Joshua also noticed something was wrong. He didn’t dare to use any means to check, fearing it might disturb the hatching process. He could only anxiously peer inside.
When about half of the eggshell was destroyed, the hatchling stopped scratching and began slowly smoothing the edges of the hole.
Jun Ye and Joshua exchanged glances, realizing that this hatchling seemed to be quite particular.
All the edges were meticulously smoothed by the tiny claws, which then stroked them a few more times. Using the scales on its palms, the hatchling further polished the eggshell, even sweeping away the eggshell fragments scattered on the towel, creating an entrance grand enough for an emperor.
After finishing the opening, instead of coming out, the hatchling retreated further inside the egg.
Some kind of limb conflict5I couldn’t think of a better way to translate this since the sentence is peculiar, but basically there’s a lot of movements inside, and they could see some limbs moving around lol seemed to have occurred inside the egg, causing it to wobble.
Both Jun Ye and Joshua were on the opposite side of the opening, unable to see the situation inside accurately. They couldn’t move to a different angle to get a better view, and any sudden movements might scare the hatchling, generating fear of the outside world.
Considering how confidently the hatchling had broken the egg, Jun Ye wasn’t worried about it being scared. However, since the young master had given him various looks, he decided to wait a bit longer.
After about half a minute, the egg’s movement subsided. A small, moist hand emerged from the cracked egg.
Jun Ye’s eyes flickered; indeed, it was a hand—a miniature version of the young master’s hand, but with a softer, fleshier feel.
However, this hand seemed smaller than the claws that had emerged earlier. Was this another hatchling?
This little hatchling placed its paw on the towel after poking it through the hole, but then it remained still. It seemed to have the intention of going back inside. There were a few sounds of the hatchling tapping on the eggshell. Afterward, the little hatchling shakily extended its small head and reached out with another hand.
It was a pale and translucent hatchling, with the typical white color of the Zerg species. It almost had a crystalline and transparent quality to its appearance. The few light golden fetal hairs on its head resembled the ones of the young master.
After crawling out, the pale hatchling lay on the towel beside the egg, its eyes still closed. Despite that, it kept facing the direction of the open part of the egg, unsure whether it wanted to crawl back in or wait for its sibling to emerge.
Joshua took out two hatchling towels from the storage device, prepared to handle the offspring.
At this point, the clawed hatchling swaggered out. Its hair was much denser than its sibling’s, and it had a warm brown color distinct from the young master’s platinum blonde or Jun Ye’s black hair. Additionally, its eyes were open, displaying deep brown vertical pupils.
The size contrast between the two hatchlings became apparent when they were next to each other. The first hatchling, initially seeming small, now appeared underdeveloped when lying beside its sibling.
Joshua, feeling sorry for the smaller hatchling, held the towels, intending to pick it up. However, the smaller one sensed something and hurriedly crawled under the belly of its larger sibling, nuzzling against it.
“…”
The larger hatchling lifted one hand, glanced at its belly, and then crawled away with an expression of disdain.
The smaller hatchling clumsily followed the larger one, bumping into its posterior a few times. In return, the larger hatchling glared at the smaller one, threatening it with the claws on its paws.
Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye, wondering if their hatchlings would end up fighting. He received a look of concern from Jun Ye.
Jun Ye was prepared to pick up the smaller hatchling, concerned about their relationship.
Suddenly, the larger hatchling lifted its head, sniffed like a small animal, and quickly crawled towards Jun Ye, who was holding the towels. Jun Ye placed the towels in the path of the approaching hatchling. The hatchling climbed onto the towels Jun Ye was holding and, like a skilled climber, ascended his arm.
Jun Ye watched in bewilderment as the hatchling sniffed and climbed up his arm, eventually grabbing onto his clothes with one paw and tugging while opening its mouth.
Jun Ye’s thoughts raced, wondering what the hatchling was trying to do. He quickly pulled up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto the robe, attempting to nuzzle forward.
“What the hell! What are you trying to do?” Jun Ye exclaimed.
Jun Ye tried to pull up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto it, struggling to move forward.
Jun Ye promptly pressed down on his thigh, feeling as if he were hit by a fluffy mass, only to discover the smaller hatchling climbing up his leg. It seemed to be heading for the same destination as its sibling.
Jun Ye looked at Joshua in panic. The situation was getting out of hand. Meanwhile, the young master, with an eager expression, gazed at Jun Ye’s chest and even licked his lips.
“…”
Something was definitely wrong with this world.
[Everything was switched up √]
Jun Ye felt stiff all over. The larger hatchling at his chest was anxiously pulling at his bathrobe. The small mouth kept nibbling on the robe, and the smaller hatchling, with closed eyes, was unsteadily climbing up his leg, seemingly seeking the same target.
Jun Ye, in a helpless state, looked at the young master, hoping he would snap out of it and not complicate the situation. He asked, “Do we have any milk formula for the hatchlings at home?”
“Huh?” Joshua was still a bit disoriented. Jun Ye patiently repeated his question, and Joshua nodded, saying, “Yes!”
“Quickly prepare it… Never mind, I’ll do it later. For now, use a towel to get this one off my chest.”
Jun Ye dared not tug on the claws that were tugging at his clothes. Although the hatchling’s strength wasn’t great, it was more than enough to pull at Jun Ye’s clothes.
“Okay,” Joshua said as he unfolded the towel and approached. He had long wanted to get rid of this food-stealing hatchling.
“How can I let a little brat like you eat something that even I, the Lord Husband, haven’t tasted yet?”
Joshua wrapped the larger hatchling in the towel, and it struggled, claws grabbing onto Jun Ye’s clothes.
“Don’t move,” Jun Ye instructed Joshua to pause. He carefully rescued his robe from the hatchling’s claws. He didn’t want to be embarrassed if the hatchling accidentally exposed him.
Joshua stood up, holding the larger hatchling in the towel. Jun Ye, using another towel, carefully lifted the smaller hatchling that had almost fallen from his leg.
Two newly-appointed fathers struggled with awkward postures, not accustomed to holding cubs.
Jun Ye, managing with the smaller hatchling, was relatively calm. The hatchling remained quiet, pretending to be lifeless when Jun Ye held it.
On the other hand, Joshua struggled with the larger hatchling. His posture looked more like he was handling a hazardous material than cradling a hatchling. The hatchling, moreover, was agitated, trying to escape from Joshua’s hold.
The two fathers exchanged glances and couldn’t help but find each other’s predicament amusing.
Following the instructions from the StarNet, Jun Ye used a soft towel to gently clean the hatchling. He then prepared a tiny outfit and placed the hatchling in a cleaned basin.
Despite the fuss, the smaller hatchling remained obedient, playing dead and occasionally blowing a few bubbles.
Jun Ye chuckled as he approached Joshua to help him with the messy situation. Joshua, still holding his robe, showed Jun the small scratches on his arm.
Jun Ye laughed and said, “What’s the big deal? Don’t you often scratch me too?”
Joshua blushed, “It’s not the same. I only do that when I can’t take it anymore…”
Jun Ye, patting his cheek to cool down, looked at Joshua and said, “He scratched you. It’s fine; we have to get used to it. These hatchlings are quite energetic.”
Joshua pouted, “He doesn’t seem like me at all. My male Father said I was calm and quiet when I crawled out of the egg. This is definitely your influence!”
Jun Ye raised an eyebrow, “Well, it’s your egg, and it can’t be anyone else’s.”
The two hatchlings indeed had significant personality differences. If not for their pure white appearance and the absence of markings representing the female caste of the Zerg race, Jun Ye would have suspected the larger hatchling to be a female.
Just as Joshua was directing the household robots to fetch the hatchling’s beds, the larger one crawled out of the groove formed by two single Zerg sofas. When Joshua heard a thud and turned around, the little one had already scurried into the kitchen.
Just as Joshua was about to get up and bring the lively hatchling back, he saw a cute little golden-haired cub, which had quietly started crawling out.
It’s really troublesome when both of them are so active.
The sofa armrests weren’t too low, but it wasn’t a height that the Zergs hatchlings couldn’t flip over. Although the larger hatchling could flip over and crawl swiftly without any issues, it didn’t mean the smaller one could afford to fall.
Joshua had to bend down to pick up the struggling little one that had climbed onto the armrest. The small hatchling immediately stopped moving, pretending to be lifeless when Joshua placed it on a small blanket.
Then, when Joshua stood up, the small hatchling quietly started climbing again.
Joshua had to turn back.
At that moment, Jun Ye also emerged from the kitchen, holding two milk bottles in one hand and the larger hatchling in the other. His expression was stern.
Joshua asked anxiously, “Did he eat it?!”
–– I haven’t even tasted it yet! How could he eat it first!
Jun Ye’s expression darkened even further. “No…”
“Phew, that’s good then,” Joshua sighed in relief, took the milk bottles from Jun Ye, and cheekily kissed him on the face before leaving satisfied.
Jun Ye also muttered, “If the young master didn’t press his claws deliberately against my chest when kissing, I would be much happier.”
Feeding them was also a headache. Jun Ye followed the posture from a StarNet video tutorial, making the hatchling sit on his lap. Before the hatchling could turn its head to attack, Jun Ye swiftly inserted the bottle into its mouth.
The hatchling hesitated, bit the object in its mouth, instinctively sucked a bit, and then sniffed Jun Ye’s body, wrinkling its little face in confusion.
On the other hand, Joshua faced a bit more trouble. Whenever he picked up the small hatchling, it played dead, not moving even when he inserted the bottle into its mouth.
Watching the larger hatchling on the other side finish the milk bottle, Joshua became anxious. “Jun, will this little golden one survive?”
Golden…
They were both hatchlings, and neither of them had names yet.
Jun Ye held the smaller hatchling and took the bottle from Joshua. Just as they were about to exchange the hatchlings, the one in Jun Ye’s arms extended its tiny claw towards Joshua.
Joshua, surprised, asked, “Is the little brown one going to help feed its little brother?”
After a moment’s thought, he corrected himself, “Or maybe… older brother?” After all, the smaller one was the first to crawl out of the egg.
This became quite a dilemma…
Jun Ye tentatively released the brown hatchling in his arms, and instead of staring at his chest, it joyfully crawled onto Joshua’s legs. It then snatched the milk bottle from Joshua’s hand and inserted it into its mouth.
Joshua was left speechless.
It seems like they knew why the little golden hatchling is so small…
Perhaps sensing the approach of its same-brood sibling, the “playing-dead” little golden hatchling also started moving. It took clumsy steps towards its brother, eventually falling onto the round belly of the brown hatchling, where it lay motionless.
Joshua looked horrified: “Cub! You’ll hurt yourself like this!”
The brown hatchling, now wearing an expression as if it were about to die, was almost hit in the face by its brother falling onto its stomach. Protecting the milk bottle, it raised its small legs and tried to kick away the weight on top of it. Unable to succeed, the brown hatchling laboriously climbed onto Jun Ye’s body, still holding the milk bottle.
Concerned, Joshua watched as the little one climbed up Jun Ye’s legs, and then turned to Jun Ye, saying, “Jun, should we separate the hatchlings and raise them separately?”
Jun Ye also felt a bit troubled. Cubs were really a hassle.
“Let’s see for now…” The household wasn’t lacking in milk powder, and considering that the brown hatchling had smoothed out the eggshell to let its sibling come out first, maybe they could peacefully coexist.
The brown hatchling sat on Jun Ye’s legs, looked at the milk bottle in its hand, then at its own belly. Finally, it stared at the golden hatchling crawling towards it and reluctantly handed over the milk bottle.
Well, here you go.
The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, and under the gaze of the three Zergs, slowly opened its mouth and began sucking after a while.
Joshua relaxed. Jun Ye leaned his head on Joshua’s shoulder. As for the brown hatchling, after the golden one bit the bottle, it let go and moved towards Jun Ye, trying to snuggle into his embrace.
“Here, it’s yours.”
The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, hesitated, and then started sipping in small sips.
Joshua sighed in relief. “They’re getting along better now.”
After a night of commotion, when the hatchlings finally rested, Joshua lay on Jun Ye’s chest, and from his vantage point, he could see the two little ones lying on the hatchling bed by their own bed.
The smaller hatchling buried its head in the abdomen of the larger one. The larger hatchling frowned and kicked the smaller one away. However, the smaller one persistently stuck to it…
So tiring…
“Jun, let’s use contraceptives in the future…?”
“…Let’s talk about it later,” Jun Ye pushed away the restless claws of the young master, saying, “The hatchlings are too young; we need to take care of them.” There was no time for mating.
If there were parent assessments for Zergs, they would definitely be considered unqualified. Even taking care of the hatchlings was challenging, let alone educating them. After all, these were two lives, and bringing them into this world meant they had to take responsibility. They weren’t prepared for this.
Actually, it wasn’t until these two little ones crawled out of their eggs and drove them crazy that Jun Ye also felt the genuine sense of being a father. They were his children.
Joshua felt a bit disheartened, counting on his claws the time it would take for the hatchlings to grow up. Oh, goodness, it was going to take forever. No wonder most male Zergs recruited new female attendants shortly after their cubs were born.
In the future, he must be diligent about taking contraceptives; he couldn’t afford to bring such terrifying things as hatchlings into the world.
“Jun, I feel uncomfortable. Only if you feed me milk can I feel better,” Joshua rubbed against Jun Ye, his paws gently touching Jun Ye’s collar.
“Get lost!” Jun Ye pushed the young master down from his body, turning away with a black expression.
He had just specifically researched that, whether in the Zerg or the Heavenly Tribe, few females naturally produced milk. Most used medication to induce lactation, and even if they did produce milk, they wouldn’t specially feed it to the hatchlings.
In the Zerg world, it was more of a romantic gesture between a female and a male. The Heavenly Tribe had even more variations; a quick search on the Network revealed numerous images and videos of using the lactation medicine on their males.
“Jun~”
The young master elongated his tone, his claws reaching up from behind.
“Go away!” Jun Ye pressed down on the young master’s paws with one hand and operated the terminal with the other, sending links to several Heavenly Tribe pages to the first contact.
Joshua’s wrist terminal vibrated violently, and Jun Ye’s expression grew darker. He had just directly pressed the young master’s claws onto his chest…
“Cough, cough…” Joshua turned his face away, coughing lightly to cover his amusement. He was the one who had set the special reminder, and, of course, he wouldn’t fail to recognize it.
“Really, just say it directly. Why play these romantic games~”
Joshua chuckled as he withdrew his claws, lying on his back and opening the terminal to click on the first link.
A black screen gradually displayed, accompanied by a soft moaning sound.
Joshua blushed, feeling embarrassed at why Jun Ye would send him something like this. However, as the video unfolded, showing a slightly raised chest, a hint of a blush, and milky liquid…
Sharp teeth biting, a moaning male Zerg…
Joshua’s expression froze on his face.
Special news for today! As it’s this humble translator’s birthday in two days and i won’t be around much, I’m releasing some extra chapters for all my projects to celebrate with you all .>)
Joshua's expression froze, and in his mind, it felt like fireworks exploding, a chaotic sensation akin to being bombarded by dozens of starships equipped with particle cannons.Jun said he liked meSince meeting Jun Ye, Joshua had a feeling that the other must like him, or why else would Jun Ye have saved him? He was such an excellent male Zerghandsome, high-ranking, never abusive to female Zergshe was like the dream alpha mate for all female Zergs. Of course, Jun Ye would like him!Back then, the young Joshua thought reservedly, Since you like me so much, and I find you quite charming, I'll force myself to like you too.This kind of thinking persisted for a long time, until the day of his awakening, when the female Zerg pinned him to the bathtub wallBeing humiliated like that, it seemed like all the liking was just his wishful thinking. However, he realized that his affection for this Zerg was much deeper than he had imagined. Even after being humiliated, he couldn't bring himself to activate the punishment device in the female Zerg's collar. Subsequently, the female Zerg opened his body for further humiliation, the pain and strange pleasure intertwined. Joshua felt uncomfortable and disgusted by his own reactions, but mostly, he felt lost about the future.Later, the female Zerg didn't leave. Joshua thought he could continue to live peacefully on the surface, pretending to be a loving couple in front of other Zergs, enduring the perverted side of the female Zerg behind closed doors. He even tried to use alcohol to bolster his courage to get closer to this somewhat unfamiliar female Zerg. When the female Zerg got pregnant, he thought maybe it was just because of the species' characteristicsHe relaxed after a long time. It was just a species characteristic; the Zerg of his heart didn't dislike him; it just pressed him down because of its species characteristics, forcing him to reveal embarrassing aspects.He took the initiative to learn about the preferences of the female Zerg of the Heavenly tribe for his partner. He opened up completely under the female Zerg, cooperating in those mating positions that had once made him feel humiliated. He laid on the female Zerg's abdomen, feeling the egg growing day by dayAfter laying the egg, Jun Ye's attitude toward him seemed unchanged, seemingly no different from before. However, Joshua could sense the discomfort in Jun Ye's eyes when looking at the egg, as well as the refusal to be intimate with him. Even when ready to unleash, Jun Ye preferred to go to the bathroom to handle it himself. And today, when he wasn't around, Jun Ye used his name to purchase contraceptives that could only be bought by male Zergs and not for himJoshua recalled what he had wanted to do, besides questioning Jun Ye, while gripping his shoulders. He wanted to dominate Jun Ye censored1this was in the original text I don't know what it was exactly but I'm guess it's def nsfw lol, to prevent him from being interested in other male Zergs. He was an S-rank male Zerg, definitely capable of making any female Zerg unable to resist.However, Jun Ye, his beloved Zerg, said he liked him, had only slept with him, and would accompany him for a lifetime!Suddenly, Jun Ye laid out everything Joshua had fantasized about in front of him, leaving him bewildered and at a loss.But, but Joshua struggled to find evidence to refute, even though he didn't know why he wanted to.Jun Ye waited for Joshua's response, adjusting the position slightly, making him sit on his lap. Jun Ye had initially embraced Joshua directly, causing Joshua's chin to knock against his chest, and a strange tingling sensation spread.Joshua seemed to recall something and turned to Jun Ye for help, saying, But there was one missing from that boxCouldn't I have unpacked and checked it myself? Jun Ye suggested.Biting his lip, Joshua stared at Jun Ye, unable to resist saying, Your belt was undone! After all, a female Zerg shouldn't be the one to test the male's contraceptive, right?Jun Ye looked at Joshua strangely. They say that when a woman suspects her man is cheating, every one of them is as good as a detective. How come male Zergs have this skill too?I've told you, that thing isn't for you to wear. Besides, even if you wear it, it won't work. Recognize yourself.Various thoughts of old lovers and other male Zergs suddenly emerged from Joshua's mind. Just when he felt annoyed, he remembered the female Zerg mentioning a testCan female Zergs use male Zergs c*ndoms? Joshua, who had been a straight male Zerg for more than ten years, fell into silence.And another thing!Why do we need contraception? A straightforward inquiry from a straight male Zerg.You said you like me, didn't you? Why not let me lay eggs for you?Jun Ye, the pseudo-straight-male-Zerg2It references to his past as a normal human male, also: And you dare ask me why I should lay eggs?The two stared at each other for a long time.Jun Ye decided to give up treatment. Things that could be resolved with action shouldn't be talked about blindly.So, Jun Ye threw Joshua onto the bed, picked up a blue square packet of c*ndoms, pinched it with two fingers, and looked at the male Zerg crawling up on the bed, smirking, Do you want to help me check the goods, Lord Husband?The topic changed too suddenly, and Joshua was a bit confused. Wasn't Jun Ye unwilling to mate with him anymore?Hesitating, Joshua reached out and took the contraceptive from Jun Ye. He looked up at Jun Ye, who had an encouraging look, and cautiously tore open the packaging along the serrated edge.Liquid spilled out, and Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye. The female Zerg was quietly watching him, without urging or displeasure.Joshua felt a bit relieved and asked with some nervousness, Should I help you put it on?Jun Ye nodded.Joshua's gaze lowered to the familiar belt, and his face turned red in an instant.Kneeling closer, his claws gently touched the sides of the belt that had left marks on him.Do you like it? Jun Ye asked.!Uh-huh, Joshua responded softly, one hand holding the already opened c*ndom, struggling to unwrap it with the other.Jun Ye placed one hand gently on Joshua's head, and with the other, he considerately took the small packet from Joshua's hand.The sound of the metal buckle being opened was light but echoed clearly in the quiet bedroom.After some fumbling, Joshua stopped and looked at Jun Ye again, along with the small packet in his hand.Jun Ye didn't move his hand and said softly, Continue.As for what to continue, looking at the area in front of him, Joshua certainly understood.Jun Ye caressed the smooth hair of the young master with one hand, suddenly recalling the last time the young master looked embarrassed after licking the cream. He thought about asking if the young master could do that too, but considering they were Zergs prioritizing reproduction, it seemed too innocent.Cough cough Joshua wiped the liquid droplets from his mouth, and practicality proved that theory turning into practice was somewhat challenging. Moreover, Joshua, as a male Zerg, couldn't possibly attend courses for female techniques. He had merely stumbled upon something similar on the star network.Jun Ye silently watched as the young master struggled a few times. The young master didn't do particularly well, only passable at best. Jun Ye's psychological satisfaction far outweighed any physical satisfaction.He couldn't help but think if the young master was as unimpressive during their previous encounters. Male Zergs were different from females; as the receiving party, Joshua probably wouldn't feel much.That's enough, Jun Ye said, pressing down on Joshua's shoulder, who seemed prepared to swallow him whole. Seeing the soaked packet in Joshua's hand, Jun Ye frowned slightly, then threw it into the trash.Joshua looked at Jun Ye as he discarded the packet, licked his lips excitedly, and said, Shall I continue?Jun Ye pressed his eyes on Joshua and said, Go get another one.Oh Joshua reluctantly stepped back and bent over at the bed, picking up another packet and tearing it open.Ptui ptui3sounds of spitting! Joshua's face scrunched up, complaining, Sweet!Jun Ye: You're so sticky and wet Joshua grumbled, suddenly remembering something. While he was busy, he asked, Is the liquid on this the same as the lubricant you used on me before?Why don't you taste that too? Jun Ye suggested.Joshua looked at Jun Ye with disdain. I don't want to. He continued, It's sweet, gooey, and sticky.Jun Ye: You even tasted that?Damp and wet, quite not enough Joshua mumbled. Realizing what he said, he blushed, lowered his head, straightened his waist, and fumbled his hands behind him.Jun Ye also had a speechless moment, asking, Is it enough?Seems not enoughDid he think Jun Ye wouldn't get up just because he was down?Joshua lay on the pillow, panting heavily, occasionally turning his head to look at the Zerg behind him.!!!The sensation of having something in between them felt strange, and without those barbs, it gave him the illusion that the Zerg behind him wasn't Jun Ye. Jun Ye furrowed his brows, unsure if it was due to the unique material of the c*ndom or an issue with his own body, but every cell in his body was screaming for more. The feeling he got after so much effort was even less intense than when the young master licked him.Sigh Jun Ye withdrew.Joshua, now unsupported, collapsed onto the cushion, confusedly turning his head to see Jun Ye throwing something into the trash.Their eyes met for a moment, and neither of them moved.Joshua opened his mouth, asking, Are we done?Jun Ye, with his eyes lowered, looked at the pinkish hue on the male Zerg's skin, and his spirit was torn between continuing and laying eggs.Uh Joshua hesitated, then remembered something. He asked, Not doing it anymore?Shall I help you with my mouth? Joshua was about to get up.Don't move! Jun Ye instinctively glared at him.Hearing this, Joshua obediently stayed in position, raising his body a bit more.Jun Ye: He's a female Zerg! It's just an egg! Just lay it!!Ah! Joshua exclaimed, and the cushion sunk a bit more.Familiar barbsAfter their bath, Jun Ye carried Joshua, who was soaked with water vapor, back to the newly laid bed. He threw the scattered small packets into the trash.With a stern expression, he said, This batch is not good.Joshua, satisfied, curled up under the blanket, half asleep. Hearing Jun Ye's words, he lazily rubbed against the pillow, murmuring, If Jun doesn't want more offspring I'll just take the medicineThe young master's voice was gentle, like a feather gliding over the heart.Jun Ye sighed softly, sat at the edge of the bed, and reached out to stroke the male Zerg's tender cheek. He said, It's not that I don't like cubsHe had reconciled with the idea. If they were a perfect match, that didn't mean they would succeed every time. Could he really lay eggs with the young master forever?Under Jun Ye's gentle touch, Joshua hummed softly and soon fell asleep.Jun Ye looked around the room, feeling that something was missing. When he was hesitant to climb into bed and embrace the young master for rest, he suddenly realized what was missing.He swiftly got up, realizing that the twin egg wasn't there.The egg had been taken out by the young master in the morning, but Jun Ye only noticed its absence when he was about to get into bed. He thought the young master might have left it downstairs.When he opened the door, a large egg covered in a knitted cover rolled in.Staring at the egg, Jun Ye fell into contemplation.Did the young master leave the egg at the door?After closing the door, Jun Ye picked up the egg. The knitted cover on the Zerg egg looked somewhat dirty. If he didn't trust the home security system, Jun Ye would have suspected that some mischievous child had used the egg as a ball.Removing the knitted cover, Jun Ye wiped the large white egg with a towel. As he held the enlarged version of a chicken egg in his hand, Jun Ye found it challenging to imagine that two male Zergs similar to the young master would crawl out from inside of it.The incubation period for Zergs wasn't long. About ten days later, Joshua, enthusiastically holding the Zerg egg, walked into the bathroom, intending to add a boiled egg to the hot spring for tonight. However, the egg started rolling on its own and emitted a slight cracking sound.Ah!Joshua exclaimed, quickly surveying the bathroom. His gaze landed on the towel basin where he had previously placed the egg. He hurried over, carefully placing the egg on a stack of towels.At that moment, Jun Ye emerged from the bath, wearing a bathrobe, and walked to the young master's side, crouching down on one knee.Looking at the clearly cracked egg, Jun Ye asked with uncertainty, Is it going to hatch?The young master, still busy with the recording device terminal, nodded excitedly, Our little ones are about to come out!Do we need to prepare something? Zerg midwives? Tools for washing and keeping the offspring warm?Of course! Joshua disassembled the camera, remotely adjusting it to face the Zerg egg from the top, saying, I want to record the entire process of our little one's birth comprehensively!Jun Ye: Why did it sound so unreliable?Just then, the egg emitted a crisp cracking sound, and Jun Ye saw a small claw resembling that of a certain reptile4It wasn't specified but I'm assuming it's crocodile? poking out from the crack in the shell.Jun Ye silently held his breath, his brain almost empty, and his eyes fixed on that small claw covered with light golden scales.What would come out from inside? A lizard? No, a big insect? A humanoid infant?No matter what emerged, it was sure to give his heart a considerable shock.CrackCrackCrackSeveral consecutive sounds echoed, and the hole in the eggshell grew larger. Now, Jun Ye could vaguely see the thing inside. Two hands, a body, and a head; for now, he couldn't see the legs, but it was evident that the offspring was humanoid.As the hole grew large enough for it to crawl out, the hatchling stopped scratching and began smoothing out the outer edges of the damaged eggshell.Jun Ye suddenly remembered that this was a double-yolk egg, but he only saw one offspring breaking out. What about the other one?Joshua also noticed something was wrong. He didn't dare to use any means to check, fearing it might disturb the hatching process. He could only anxiously peer inside.When about half of the eggshell was destroyed, the hatchling stopped scratching and began slowly smoothing the edges of the hole.Jun Ye and Joshua exchanged glances, realizing that this hatchling seemed to be quite particular.All the edges were meticulously smoothed by the tiny claws, which then stroked them a few more times. Using the scales on its palms, the hatchling further polished the eggshell, even sweeping away the eggshell fragments scattered on the towel, creating an entrance grand enough for an emperor.After finishing the opening, instead of coming out, the hatchling retreated further inside the egg.Some kind of limb conflict5I couldn't think of a better way to translate this since the sentence is peculiar, but basically there's a lot of movements inside, and they could see some limbs moving around lol seemed to have occurred inside the egg, causing it to wobble.Both Jun Ye and Joshua were on the opposite side of the opening, unable to see the situation inside accurately. They couldn't move to a different angle to get a better view, and any sudden movements might scare the hatchling, generating fear of the outside world.Considering how confidently the hatchling had broken the egg, Jun Ye wasn't worried about it being scared. However, since the young master had given him various looks, he decided to wait a bit longer.After about half a minute, the egg's movement subsided. A small, moist hand emerged from the cracked egg.Jun Ye's eyes flickered; indeed, it was a handa miniature version of the young master's hand, but with a softer, fleshier feel.However, this hand seemed smaller than the claws that had emerged earlier. Was this another hatchling?This little hatchling placed its paw on the towel after poking it through the hole, but then it remained still. It seemed to have the intention of going back inside. There were a few sounds of the hatchling tapping on the eggshell. Afterward, the little hatchling shakily extended its small head and reached out with another hand.It was a pale and translucent hatchling, with the typical white color of the Zerg species. It almost had a crystalline and transparent quality to its appearance. The few light golden fetal hairs on its head resembled the ones of the young master.After crawling out, the pale hatchling lay on the towel beside the egg, its eyes still closed. Despite that, it kept facing the direction of the open part of the egg, unsure whether it wanted to crawl back in or wait for its sibling to emerge.Joshua took out two hatchling towels from the storage device, prepared to handle the offspring.At this point, the clawed hatchling swaggered out. Its hair was much denser than its sibling's, and it had a warm brown color distinct from the young master's platinum blonde or Jun Ye's black hair. Additionally, its eyes were open, displaying deep brown vertical pupils.The size contrast between the two hatchlings became apparent when they were next to each other. The first hatchling, initially seeming small, now appeared underdeveloped when lying beside its sibling.Joshua, feeling sorry for the smaller hatchling, held the towels, intending to pick it up. However, the smaller one sensed something and hurriedly crawled under the belly of its larger sibling, nuzzling against it.The larger hatchling lifted one hand, glanced at its belly, and then crawled away with an expression of disdain.The smaller hatchling clumsily followed the larger one, bumping into its posterior a few times. In return, the larger hatchling glared at the smaller one, threatening it with the claws on its paws.Joshua looked nervously at Jun Ye, wondering if their hatchlings would end up fighting. He received a look of concern from Jun Ye.Jun Ye was prepared to pick up the smaller hatchling, concerned about their relationship.Suddenly, the larger hatchling lifted its head, sniffed like a small animal, and quickly crawled towards Jun Ye, who was holding the towels. Jun Ye placed the towels in the path of the approaching hatchling. The hatchling climbed onto the towels Jun Ye was holding and, like a skilled climber, ascended his arm.Jun Ye watched in bewilderment as the hatchling sniffed and climbed up his arm, eventually grabbing onto his clothes with one paw and tugging while opening its mouth.Jun Ye's thoughts raced, wondering what the hatchling was trying to do. He quickly pulled up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto the robe, attempting to nuzzle forward.What the hell! What are you trying to do? Jun Ye exclaimed.Jun Ye tried to pull up his bathrobe, and the hatchling bit onto it, struggling to move forward.Jun Ye promptly pressed down on his thigh, feeling as if he were hit by a fluffy mass, only to discover the smaller hatchling climbing up his leg. It seemed to be heading for the same destination as its sibling.Jun Ye looked at Joshua in panic. The situation was getting out of hand. Meanwhile, the young master, with an eager expression, gazed at Jun Ye's chest and even licked his lips.Something was definitely wrong with this world.Everything was switched up Jun Ye felt stiff all over. The larger hatchling at his chest was anxiously pulling at his bathrobe. The small mouth kept nibbling on the robe, and the smaller hatchling, with closed eyes, was unsteadily climbing up his leg, seemingly seeking the same target.Jun Ye, in a helpless state, looked at the young master, hoping he would snap out of it and not complicate the situation. He asked, Do we have any milk formula for the hatchlings at home?Huh? Joshua was still a bit disoriented. Jun Ye patiently repeated his question, and Joshua nodded, saying, Yes!Quickly prepare it Never mind, I'll do it later. For now, use a towel to get this one off my chest.Jun Ye dared not tug on the claws that were tugging at his clothes. Although the hatchling's strength wasn't great, it was more than enough to pull at Jun Ye's clothes.Okay, Joshua said as he unfolded the towel and approached. He had long wanted to get rid of this food-stealing hatchling.How can I let a little brat like you eat something that even I, the Lord Husband, haven't tasted yet?Joshua wrapped the larger hatchling in the towel, and it struggled, claws grabbing onto Jun Ye's clothes.Don't move, Jun Ye instructed Joshua to pause. He carefully rescued his robe from the hatchling's claws. He didn't want to be embarrassed if the hatchling accidentally exposed him.Joshua stood up, holding the larger hatchling in the towel. Jun Ye, using another towel, carefully lifted the smaller hatchling that had almost fallen from his leg.Two newly-appointed fathers struggled with awkward postures, not accustomed to holding cubs.Jun Ye, managing with the smaller hatchling, was relatively calm. The hatchling remained quiet, pretending to be lifeless when Jun Ye held it.On the other hand, Joshua struggled with the larger hatchling. His posture looked more like he was handling a hazardous material than cradling a hatchling. The hatchling, moreover, was agitated, trying to escape from Joshua's hold.The two fathers exchanged glances and couldn't help but find each other's predicament amusing.Following the instructions from the StarNet, Jun Ye used a soft towel to gently clean the hatchling. He then prepared a tiny outfit and placed the hatchling in a cleaned basin.Despite the fuss, the smaller hatchling remained obedient, playing dead and occasionally blowing a few bubbles.Jun Ye chuckled as he approached Joshua to help him with the messy situation. Joshua, still holding his robe, showed Jun the small scratches on his arm.Jun Ye laughed and said, What's the big deal? Don't you often scratch me too?Joshua blushed, It's not the same. I only do that when I can't take it anymoreJun Ye, patting his cheek to cool down, looked at Joshua and said, He scratched you. It's fine; we have to get used to it. These hatchlings are quite energetic.Joshua pouted, He doesn't seem like me at all. My male Father said I was calm and quiet when I crawled out of the egg. This is definitely your influence!Jun Ye raised an eyebrow, Well, it's your egg, and it can't be anyone else's.The two hatchlings indeed had significant personality differences. If not for their pure white appearance and the absence of markings representing the female caste of the Zerg race, Jun Ye would have suspected the larger hatchling to be a female.Just as Joshua was directing the household robots to fetch the hatchling's beds, the larger one crawled out of the groove formed by two single Zerg sofas. When Joshua heard a thud and turned around, the little one had already scurried into the kitchen.Just as Joshua was about to get up and bring the lively hatchling back, he saw a cute little golden-haired cub, which had quietly started crawling out.It's really troublesome when both of them are so active.The sofa armrests weren't too low, but it wasn't a height that the Zergs hatchlings couldn't flip over. Although the larger hatchling could flip over and crawl swiftly without any issues, it didn't mean the smaller one could afford to fall.Joshua had to bend down to pick up the struggling little one that had climbed onto the armrest. The small hatchling immediately stopped moving, pretending to be lifeless when Joshua placed it on a small blanket.Then, when Joshua stood up, the small hatchling quietly started climbing again.Joshua had to turn back.At that moment, Jun Ye also emerged from the kitchen, holding two milk bottles in one hand and the larger hatchling in the other. His expression was stern.Joshua asked anxiously, Did he eat it?! I haven't even tasted it yet! How could he eat it first!Jun Ye's expression darkened even further. NoPhew, that's good then, Joshua sighed in relief, took the milk bottles from Jun Ye, and cheekily kissed him on the face before leaving satisfied.Jun Ye also muttered, If the young master didn't press his claws deliberately against my chest when kissing, I would be much happier.Feeding them was also a headache. Jun Ye followed the posture from a StarNet video tutorial, making the hatchling sit on his lap. Before the hatchling could turn its head to attack, Jun Ye swiftly inserted the bottle into its mouth.The hatchling hesitated, bit the object in its mouth, instinctively sucked a bit, and then sniffed Jun Ye's body, wrinkling its little face in confusion.On the other hand, Joshua faced a bit more trouble. Whenever he picked up the small hatchling, it played dead, not moving even when he inserted the bottle into its mouth.Watching the larger hatchling on the other side finish the milk bottle, Joshua became anxious. Jun, will this little golden one survive?GoldenThey were both hatchlings, and neither of them had names yet.Jun Ye held the smaller hatchling and took the bottle from Joshua. Just as they were about to exchange the hatchlings, the one in Jun Ye's arms extended its tiny claw towards Joshua.Joshua, surprised, asked, Is the little brown one going to help feed its little brother?After a moment's thought, he corrected himself, Or maybe older brother? After all, the smaller one was the first to crawl out of the egg.This became quite a dilemmaJun Ye tentatively released the brown hatchling in his arms, and instead of staring at his chest, it joyfully crawled onto Joshua's legs. It then snatched the milk bottle from Joshua's hand and inserted it into its mouth.Joshua was left speechless.It seems like they knew why the little golden hatchling is so smallPerhaps sensing the approach of its same-brood sibling, the playing-dead little golden hatchling also started moving. It took clumsy steps towards its brother, eventually falling onto the round belly of the brown hatchling, where it lay motionless.Joshua looked horrified: Cub! You'll hurt yourself like this!The brown hatchling, now wearing an expression as if it were about to die, was almost hit in the face by its brother falling onto its stomach. Protecting the milk bottle, it raised its small legs and tried to kick away the weight on top of it. Unable to succeed, the brown hatchling laboriously climbed onto Jun Ye's body, still holding the milk bottle.Concerned, Joshua watched as the little one climbed up Jun Ye's legs, and then turned to Jun Ye, saying, Jun, should we separate the hatchlings and raise them separately?Jun Ye also felt a bit troubled. Cubs were really a hassle.Let's see for now The household wasn't lacking in milk powder, and considering that the brown hatchling had smoothed out the eggshell to let its sibling come out first, maybe they could peacefully coexist.The brown hatchling sat on Jun Ye's legs, looked at the milk bottle in its hand, then at its own belly. Finally, it stared at the golden hatchling crawling towards it and reluctantly handed over the milk bottle.Well, here you go.The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, and under the gaze of the three Zergs, slowly opened its mouth and began sucking after a while.Joshua relaxed. Jun Ye leaned his head on Joshua's shoulder. As for the brown hatchling, after the golden one bit the bottle, it let go and moved towards Jun Ye, trying to snuggle into his embrace.Here, it's yours.The little golden one sniffed the bottle mouth, hesitated, and then started sipping in small sips.Joshua sighed in relief. They're getting along better now.After a night of commotion, when the hatchlings finally rested, Joshua lay on Jun Ye's chest, and from his vantage point, he could see the two little ones lying on the hatchling bed by their own bed.The smaller hatchling buried its head in the abdomen of the larger one. The larger hatchling frowned and kicked the smaller one away. However, the smaller one persistently stuck to itSo tiringJun, let's use contraceptives in the future?Let's talk about it later, Jun Ye pushed away the restless claws of the young master, saying, The hatchlings are too young; we need to take care of them. There was no time for mating.If there were parent assessments for Zergs, they would definitely be considered unqualified. Even taking care of the hatchlings was challenging, let alone educating them. After all, these were two lives, and bringing them into this world meant they had to take responsibility. They weren't prepared for this.Actually, it wasn't until these two little ones crawled out of their eggs and drove them crazy that Jun Ye also felt the genuine sense of being a father. They were his children.Joshua felt a bit disheartened, counting on his claws the time it would take for the hatchlings to grow up. Oh, goodness, it was going to take forever. No wonder most male Zergs recruited new female attendants shortly after their cubs were born.In the future, he must be diligent about taking contraceptives; he couldn't afford to bring such terrifying things as hatchlings into the world.Jun, I feel uncomfortable. Only if you feed me milk can I feel better, Joshua rubbed against Jun Ye, his paws gently touching Jun Ye's collar.Get lost! Jun Ye pushed the young master down from his body, turning away with a black expression.He had just specifically researched that, whether in the Zerg or the Heavenly Tribe, few females naturally produced milk. Most used medication to induce lactation, and even if they did produce milk, they wouldn't specially feed it to the hatchlings.In the Zerg world, it was more of a romantic gesture between a female and a male. The Heavenly Tribe had even more variations; a quick search on the Network revealed numerous images and videos of using the lactation medicine on their males.Jun~The young master elongated his tone, his claws reaching up from behind.Go away! Jun Ye pressed down on the young master's paws with one hand and operated the terminal with the other, sending links to several Heavenly Tribe pages to the first contact.Joshua's wrist terminal vibrated violently, and Jun Ye's expression grew darker. He had just directly pressed the young master's claws onto his chestCough, cough Joshua turned his face away, coughing lightly to cover his amusement. He was the one who had set the special reminder, and, of course, he wouldn't fail to recognize it.Really, just say it directly. Why play these romantic games~Joshua chuckled as he withdrew his claws, lying on his back and opening the terminal to click on the first link.A black screen gradually displayed, accompanied by a soft moaning sound.Joshua blushed, feeling embarrassed at why Jun Ye would send him something like this. However, as the video unfolded, showing a slightly raised chest, a hint of a blush, and milky liquidSharp teeth biting, a moaning male ZergJoshua's expression froze on his face.Special news for today! As it's this humble translator's birthday in two days and i won't be around much, I'm releasing some extra chapters for all my projects to celebrate with you all .
