The Leafcutter Bee Is Expecting!

A leafcutter bee who loves carrying eggs x a Taoist priest who works hard to get his husband pregnant

Weng Yuan was a hardworking leafcutter bee. When he came of age, he decided to see more of the human world, but by the very next day, he was running away with his butt covered.

Weng Yuan: "Wah... Humans are scary."

He never dared go out again.

Then one morning, two months later, just as Weng Yuan was about to enjoy breakfast, he suddenly went, "Urp..."

Weng Yuan, who took good care of his health, immediately flew off to see a doctor. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "Doctor, do I have some terrible illness?"

The doctor felt his pulse and replied gravely, "No, you're just pregnant."

Weng Yuan was stunned!

Can male bees get pregnant too?

*

Weng Yuan had learned something new: male leafcutter bees get pregnant when humans poke them in the butt.

Well, since he was already pregnant, he had better hurry up and prepare a nursery!

So, while his belly was still small, Weng Yuan searched far and wide for the prettiest, cleanest roses, planning to cut off their leaves and build a nest for his baby.

After a long search, he finally found a row of beautiful, oversized roses in the human world. Delighted, he cut off some leaves and rode away on them, completely unaware of the cold eyes watching him from behind.

Qi Ran had been frail since childhood, so he had practiced Taoism from a young age. He had become so detached and desireless that one careless mistake was all it took for a little demon to get the better of him, ruin his cultivation, and throw his heart into turmoil.

Just as he was searching everywhere for the little demon, it brazenly wandered into his courtyard and then...

Cut off the roses he had lovingly raised.

Qi Ran crushed the beads in his hand, closed his eyes, and swore he'd teach the little demon a lesson. Then...

He moved the roses somewhere else that very night.

The next day, the little demon really couldn't find the roses and paced around in a panic.

Qi Ran smiled with satisfaction, but the little demon spotted him first, dashed over, grabbed his hand, and wailed, "Wah... You poked a baby into me, and now I need to build a nest, but I can't find any pretty roses."

Qi Ran froze for a moment, then immediately pulled his hand away and yelled in exasperation, "You're a male bee!"

*

Weng Yuan: "You don't believe me?"

"Urp..."

Qi Ran: ...

"All right, I believe you. Stop throwing up. I'll take care of you."

*

On the day he gave birth, Weng Yuan summoned all his strength and finally delivered the baby. But the moment he saw it, he burst into tears and threw a pillow at the man, sobbing, "You're so useless! Why is there only one baby?"

Qi Ran: ...

How about I try a little harder next time?
