Counterattacking the Submissive Role!

 

Joshua was completely stunned. The golden energy threads emanating from his core were clearly that of an S-class Zerg!

 

But…

 

“How could this be…” Joshua covered his chest, looking incredulous.

 

He hadn’t mated with a female Zerg, so shouldn’t he be regressing in rank?

 

Jun Ye finished buttoning up the last button and saw that Joshua looked even more dumbfounded. He teased, “The rank of a male Zerg represents its X-ability, and it seems… your ability as a male is quite outstanding.”

 

Joshua’s face twisted in bitterness as he looked up at Jun Ye. Wasn’t this blatant mockery? Outstanding X-ability… Who was the Zerg that had been bullied to near-death for the past three days?!

 

“But… why?” It couldn’t be because he unconsciously mated with Jun Ye last night, right?

 

However… he did vaguely feel some contact during his drowsiness…

 

Joshua’s face turned so red it looked like he was steaming.

 

Jun Yecould easily guess his thoughts with just a glance, and he mercilessly struck back, “Why? I’ve been diligently taking care of you. After more than a dozen rounds, you’ve matured quite a lot.”

 

Joshua refused to believe it and anxiously grabbed the blanket, staring at Jun Ye as he asked, “Isn’t it only through mating with a female Zerg that one can successfully awaken?”

 

“In theory, yes. Awakening can be achieved through contact with a female Zerg,” Jun Ye smirked, leaning closer to Joshua and whispering in his ear, “But, my dear master, you couldn’t resist, could you? Just one of my claws… and you were taken care of.”

 

Joshua felt as if he heard the sound of his worldviews shattering.

 

“So, so… male Zergs can also be… mated like females…” Joshua looked at Jun Ye with a pleading gaze, as if grasping at the last straw that could save his worldview.

 

His gaze pitied him, saying: “What do you think? Aren’t you the best evidence?”

 

——Crash——

 

His worldview was completely shattered.

 

Jun Ye didn’t know how other Zergs were. But judging from the extent of their awakening, it seemed like the male and female Zergs would never think of swapping roles because of their strict aversion. Not to mention that the male Zergs would die from anger in the face of such humiliation. Even female Zergs would never dare to think about bullying male Zergs by holding down their hands and pressing them on the bed.

 

But, for the sake of their future s*x life, Jun Ye didn’t mind reshaping Joshua’s worldview.

 

Jun Ye left Joshua some private space as he walked out of the room first. His destination was the kitchen.

 

During these three days of awakening, both he and the young master had been sustaining themselves with nutrient solution. For a person accustomed to normal food, the taste was truly complicated.

 

Jun Ye Felt that he really needed something normal to save his tortured sense of taste. Perhaps the young master also needed something to nourish his depleted and weak body?

 

As soon as Jun Ye reached the stairs on the second floor, he saw the lobby downstairs filled with Zergs. Lord Lindsay and Lord Xavier were sitting cuddled up on the center sofa.

 

What’s going on? It’s broad daylight, and no one needs to go to work?

 

While Jun Yewas still hesitating, Xavier, who was anxiously looking towards the stairs, was the first to spot him. He quickly broke free from his own male Zerg and rushed upstairs without saying a word. As he passed by Jun Ye, he glanced at the binding ring on his neck.

 

—The binding ring is intact. His little cub shouldn’t have suffered.

 

Lindsay’s face stiffened. When had he ever been pushed aside by another Zerg like this? It was his only male cub that had awakened, yet it was the female father that had pushed him away first.

 

Hmph, he wouldn’t argue with him for the time being. But he’ll be teaching him what it means to respect his master in the evening!

 

Lindsay wasn’t as hurried as Xavier, so he straightened his clothes with an air of composure and calmly walked upstairs with the Zergs following closely behind.

 

In his eyes, Jun Ye and Joshua had a 100% compatibility match, and whether the awakening was successful or not was already a sure thing.

 

Although Joshua’s awakening took a bit longer, since Jun Ye had successfully awakened, Joshua’s situation was probably just a result of being a bit excessive in his ~desires~.

 

Jun Ye walked downstairs, coincidentally meeting Lindsay along the way.

 

Lindsay looked at Jun Ye with a rare hint of a smile in his eyes and asked, “How is Joshua? Is he really an S-class rank?”

 

Before Jun Ye could respond, a series of hurried footsteps came from upstairs, causing all the Zergs to look up.

 

Jun Ye furrowed his brow slightly. Of course, he recognized the sound of those footsteps, which belonged to the young master, even though they were now urgent and difficult to discern.

 

After being played with for three days, the young master’s body must be weak, especially since he had just taken medicine. How could he be running like this…

 

A male Zerg who hadn’t been wronged appeared in the view of the Zergs, wearing a pure white cotton pajama. With him came an overwhelming scent of pure male Zerg pheromones, causing several female Zergs to discreetly clamp their legs on the spot.

 

Joshua’s gaze fell on Jun Ye, and his footsteps abruptly stopped. After several seconds, he gripped the handrail and continued walking down, albeit with some difficulty.

 

Seeing the young master’s awkward attempt at a normal walking posture, Jun Ye helplessly turned around and went to pick up the Zerg.

 

“Jun…” Joshua’s voice trembled.

 

Jun Ye ignored him and simply held the Zerg, turning and heading downstairs to place him on the soft couch that Joshua liked to laze on.

 

A group of Zergs surrounded them, with two young female Zergs in the front—one standing with military-like posture, and the other composed and solemn.

 

Joshua smiled and greeted them: “Big Brother, Second Brother.”

 

Xavier had given birth to three offspring, and Joshua was the youngest. The two elder brothers were over a hundred years older than him, but their interaction resembled that of family elders rather than typical sibling dynamics.

 

Jun Ye had no interest in participating in small talk, so he patted Joshua’s hand, which was clutching his clothes, and gestured that he would go to the kitchen. Joshua solemnly confirmed with a glance, and only then did he let go of Jun Ye’s clothes.

 

Jun Ye: “…”

 

Did he think Jun Ye was trying to take the opportunity to run away or something?

 

Entering the kitchen, Jun Ye opened the control panel of the mechanical machine and searched for suitable food for awakened male Zergs.

 

There was a row of food with names that sent shivers down one’s spine. Jun Ye expressionlessly chose the most recommended one, also mentally noting what to give to Joshua in his heart.

 

As the one being taken, he had to eat this kind of food while still assuming the identity of a male Zerg. It was truly miserable.

 

Joshua listened to the caring words of the various elder Zergs, smiling and responding while keeping an eye on the movements in the kitchen.

 

Seeing the little male Zerg sitting so awkwardly towards the kitchen, the young female Zergs who were arranged to “get along well with the male Zerg” became jealous. As a result, when Jun Ye came out, he received a very enthusiastic welcome.

 

.

 

Nighttime.

 

When Jun Ye returned from the martial arts hall after defeating a group of female Zergs, he saw Joshua sitting alone at the dining table in the lobby, glaring at a bowl of dark replenishing soup with deep resentment.

 

“If you don’t want to drink it, just leave it.”

 

Jun Ye casually draped his coat on the back of the chair next to Joshua, pulled out the chair, and sat down, pouring himself a glass of water.

 

Joshua cast a sad glance at Jun Ye, took a deep breath, picked up the replenishing soup, held his breath, and gulped it down.

 

After finishing the soup, Joshua slammed the bowl on the table and snatched the glass of water from Jun Ye’s hand, pouring it into his own mouth.

 

This was the kind of treatment he had to endure as the one being taken advantage of.

 

Jun Ye looked at Joshua, whose face had turned pale and had tears in his eyes, and sighed, “You didn’t have to drink it. Besides, that stuff is of no use to you.”

 

Joshua glared at Jun Ye. “You cooked it for me!”

 

Jun Ye: “…”

 

He didn’t want him to think that. He had just pressed a few buttons; it was his household’s mechanical chef that cooked it.

 

“Then drink….Your little thing is cute when it cries.”

 

Joshua: QAQ

 

It wasn’t small! As an S-class male Zerg, his size can definitely be superior among male Zergs. Unfortunately, the Zerg in his heart was a pervert. And… what “crying”? Those were the essence of male Zergs, something countless females desired and begged for. Unfortunately, the Zerg in his heart was a pervert…

 

Jun Ye stood up, picked up his coat, and patted Joshua’s back, saying, “Since you’ve finished drinking, go upstairs and sleep.”

 

Joshua instinctively felt a tightness in his rear, and then his entire body froze, as if caught by a soul-binding chain, like a lost soul…

 

The door closed behind them, and Joshua instantly snapped back to reality. He looked up and saw the female Zergs staring at him excitedly. He stammered, “I-I’m going to take a shower!”

 

“……Mhm,” Jun Ye nodded.

 

Joshua quickly ran off.

 

Jun Ye: “……”

 

Jun Ye had also taken a shower after tidying up the potential rivals in the martial arts hall. He had no intention of going through that again, so he simply put on his coat on the bed.

 

Opening his terminal, he received numerous messages of consolation. It seemed that the news of the young master’s awakening as an S-class Zerg had spread.

 

Awakening was a transformation for male Zergs, but for the chosen female guides, it was like walking through the gates of hell. If they encountered a particularly violent male Zerg, they might not survive. To prevent unexpected incidents that the guides couldn’t handle, most male Zergs had several backup guides prepared before their awakening.

 

The young female Zergs that Jun Ye had seen today were the young master’s backup guides. If Joshua’s awakening hadn’t been triggered prematurely by the mating pheromones on Xavier’s body, those Zergs would have interacted with Jun Ye in a more “friendly” manner.

 

The messages of consolation came from the familiar female Zergs stationed in the military. They were among the few Zergs in this world who still cared about Jun Ye. He replied to each of them and chatted with them for a while.

 

Among them, his adjutant asked when he would be back. Jun Ye thought for a moment and answered: eight days later.

 

Tomorrow, he would take Joshua to obtain their certification, and according to the regulations of the Alliance, female Zergs were entitled to seven days of marriage leave. Eight days happened to be the perfect duration.

 

At that moment, Joshua emerged from the bathroom.

 

He climbed onto the bed reluctantly, his face flushed. Joshua didn’t dare to look up at Jun Ye, and his lowered eyelashes trembled as he said, “I-I just… cleaned up, you know, that lubricant… Do you still have any?”

 

Jun Ye: “……”

 

Did you misunderstand something?

 

Joshua you naughty boy (o^ ^o)
