After His Majesty Picks Up a Female Zerg

Pei Shiji found Yuan Litian the year before he unified the realm. Yuan Litian fell from the sky amid a clap of thunder, then single-handedly cut his way through an army of a hundred thousand with his spear. The enemy was terrified and called him a monster. A monster to them, an auspicious sign to Pei Shiji. He brought Yuan Litian back to his command tent, where he found him covered in wounds and barely alive, with a long-unhealed scar between his brows and a fierce, murderous air. Well, auspicious signs were allowed to have a temper. So Pei Shiji brought him into his service, fed him well, and soothed him with gentle words. The year he ascended the throne, he made Yuan Litian a great general. The great general was resolute, powerful, and peerlessly loyal and brave. He even had a magical treasure with him that knew everything under heaven. He was good in every way, and in time, even his ferocity began to soften. But his achievements were so great that there was no higher rank left to bestow. Pei Shiji had no choice but to order him to retire from the front lines. It was well-intentioned, but Yuan Litian refused to listen to his explanation. Full of grievances, Yuan Litian knelt stubbornly before Pei Shiji. “I have only one request.” Pei Shiji was prepared. “Money, land, a title?” Yuan Litian: “I want an egg.” Pei Shiji: “...?...!!!” As a battle slave, the female insect Yuan Litian had expected to die on an alien battlefield. Instead, for some inexplicable reason, he arrived on an ancient battlefield. There were no male or female insects here, and no damnable Protection Association. The insects here called themselves humans. The luckiest thing that had ever happened to him was meeting a man named Pei Shiji. He was the emperor here, and Yuan Litian had secretly vowed that as long as he lived, no one would ever be allowed to undermine Pei Shiji’s position. Pei Shiji treated him well. Whenever Yuan Litian was by his side, his berserk episodes never came. He wanted to try bearing a child for him. Pei Shiji: “You mean you don’t want gold, silver, or a fiefdom. You just want to lay me an... egg?” Yuan Litian: “Yes.” Pei Shiji: “I’m head over heels!” A pragmatic emperor top x the strongest female insect and a ferocious beast among men bottom Reader’s guide: 1. The great general is jealous, and so is His Majesty. They’re both jealous, both jealous. There’s no harem. Later on, they’re both completely love-struck and fall for each other wholeheartedly. 2. The story begins before the transmigration to the ancient world, then shifts to ancient times. 3. The story uses the regent setting. There is an egg-laying period. 4. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don’t equate it with real life. 5. I welcome friendly discussion, but not pointless arguing or unsolicited writing advice. Don’t mess with my train of thought, damn it. Posting every day without a buffer is hard! If the protagonists aren’t to your taste or their logic doesn’t match your idea of a perfect, wise ruler, feel free to close the story and move on. Thank you so much. 6. I haven’t decided yet. Let me think about it. Theme: Every sincere heart deserves to be treated with kindness.
