The Delicate Sweet Top is Always Targeted by the Villain [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 2

After sending those persistent female Zergs away, Tong Sui closed the door and let out a heavy sigh of relief. Finally, they were gone.

He rolled around on his bed. Although he still couldn’t quite wrap his head around the way these Zergs thought, at least his room now finally looked like a habitable place after the professional cleaning.

Tong Sui had no idea that his casual remark had caused such a shock among the female Zergs.

A new post had appeared on the StarNet: [Family, help! I met a super cute male Zerg lord today while on a field assignment! But unfortunately, he said he already has someone he likes and doesn’t plan to take in any secondary spouses. I’m so jealous I could cry!]

1st Floor: A male who doesn’t take in secondary spouses? Lol, if you’re going to make things up, at least make it sound realistic! Are you still dreaming and haven’t woken up yet?

2nd Floor: Probably just another female Zerg without a master daydreaming. Instead of wasting time on this, you’d be better off earning more Star Coins. If you’re lucky, maybe a male Zerg will condescend to take you in as a consort just for the money.

3rd Floor: Shouldn’t the Male Zerg Protection Association do something about this atmosphere? Female Zergs aren’t working hard to serve their masters and are instead posting this kind of stuff on StarNet.

4th Floor: Do these modern female Zergs think they’re precious? Is the next step for them to emulate that scum, Bai Xingluo? Not only did he hurt the dear Duke Lu Ting, but he’s also full of himself. Don’t forget, our empire is never short of capable military females!

This comment successfully steered the entire thread in a different direction.

8th Floor: Bai Xingluo doesn’t deserve to be called the Star of the Empire. What’s the point of having high mental power if he’s just a dangerous element? When he has a mental breakdown, is he going to hurt more innocent, poor male Zergs?

9th Floor: Has the verdict not been passed yet? Just thinking about letting a criminal like this live for another day makes us females look even more disgraceful.

10th Floor: What if Bai Xingluo’s case ruins the image of us military females in the eyes of male Zergs? What will happen then? I don’t want to spend my whole life without finding a dear master!

This topic remained at the top of the discussion list.

So, when Tong Sui opened his optical computer, the most searched term he saw was: #Bai Xingluo, Verdict Result#

The most popular demand was to execute such a dangerous female Zerg as quickly as possible.

[If Bai Xingluo isn’t punished, does that mean female Zergs can hurt males at will from now on? I support execution! Must execute!]

This comment had hundreds of thousands of likes.

A small portion of netizens were discussing whether Bai Xingluo, as the Star of the Empire who once possessed supreme glory and wealth, might try to find a way to save himself.

[The most effective way would be to find a master, legally becoming the private property of a male Zerg. Unless the master agrees, even the royal family has no right to dispose of Bai Xingluo.]

[Hahaha, that’s a great idea. Not only would he be acquitted, but he’d also keep his military rank and assets. But then again, Bai Xingluo just hurt an innocent male; who would be willing to marry a military female who might take their life at any moment?]

[Someone like Bai Xingluo must be boring to be with. Other than having a decent face, he’s just a stiff, fighting machine. He’s not as interesting as a sub-female at all.]

[You’d have to be really out of your mind to marry Bai Xingluo. With his S-grade mental power during a violent cycle, it’s basically suicide.]

[Could this be considered someone digging their own grave?]

Tong Sui frowned slightly as he read these comments.

Since he arrived in this world, his mission from the system had been to save Bai Xingluo. However, the current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Beneath that comment, Tong Sui replied using his own account: Admiral Bai Xingluo has made so many contributions to the empire. He only made a mistake during his violent cycle and accidentally hurt a male Zerg. Doesn’t he deserve a less harsh punishment?

As soon as his words were posted, he instantly became the target of attacks.

[A male Zerg? That was Duke Lu Ting!]

[The empire isn’t short of capable Admirals. If he’s gone, there will be other military females to step up.]

[Whoever it is, daring to hurt a male Zerg is an unforgivable original sin! Execution is a mercy to him!]

[Could this be one of Bai Xingluo’s fanatical female fans? Even at this point, they’re still trying to make excuses for him.]

Tong Sui was confused by the siege and, somewhat clumsily, operated his device to reply: I am not a female Zerg, nor am I a fan. I am just expressing my own opinion.

[Hahaha, don’t tell me you’re a male Zerg. Since you think what Bai Xingluo did is so insignificant, why don’t you marry the honorable Admiral Bai Xingluo? Then he can be safe and sound.]

[Total support!]

[Time is running out, you know. The latest notification says the public verdict will be tomorrow. Admiral Bai Xingluo is about to become “Criminal Bai Xingluo.”]

The number of replies was overwhelming, so Tong Sui simply turned off his optical computer, feeling a headache coming on.

If marrying him is the only way to save Bai Xingluo, would he even accept?

In the novel, Bai Xingluo was a military female of extreme competence. He had never been involved in any romantic ambiguity, his faith was steadfast, and he was dedicated to defending the empire. He had an extreme aversion to the lifestyle of female Zergs returning to the home to serve a master.

Tong Sui respected, even admired, such a free and powerful person from the bottom of his heart. But he currently had no other way.

If Bai Xingluo could not accept the approach of a male Zerg, he would not do anything unnecessary. Once he successfully navigated this crisis, he would then propose a divorce.

The Imperial Tribunal Prison.

A figure was bound in the cold, damp cell. His long, snow-white hair, once lustrous, had lost its sheen, and the shirt clinging to his skin was soaked with blood seeping from his wounds, sticking to his well-defined body.

He kept his head low, his hands held high by rough chains. His imposing face was buried in the shadows, revealing only a sharp jawline. No one would have guessed that this tiny cell held the former Star of the Empire, Bai Xingluo.

At that moment, footsteps approached the direction of his cell.

Only then did his dead-eyed gaze shift, and he stiffened, lifting his head. The chains around his neck clinked as he moved.

Bai Xingluo stared toward the person approaching.

For Bai Xingluo, who could pilot a top-tier mecha solo, both the shackles on his body and the seemingly sturdy cage were no different from waste paper. If he wanted to, he had countless ways to leave.

But Bai Xingluo had never once thought of doing so.

He was a military female defending the empire; absolute faith and loyalty constrained all his principles of conduct. Even facing the most severe verdict, he would never defect.

The visitor wore the majestic, holy robes of the Imperial Tribunal and was also a military female. He held Bai Xingluo’s verdict document in his hand. Even from a distance, the heavy killing intent Bai Xingluo had honed on the battlefield made him shudder.

As a former superior and the idol of all imperial military females, Bai Xingluo had possessed absolute glory, even being awarded the title of “Star of the Empire” by the royal family. But all of this had dissolved into bubbles after he hurt a male Zerg.

“Admiral Bai Xingluo, before the live-streamed verdict, your judgment results have been released.”

Bai Xingluo lifted his head slowly. Even with bloodstains on his cheeks, nothing could hide his naturally cold, handsome face. In the dark, filthy cell, his fierce eyes dimmed; his pale blue irises were as deep and still as the ocean.

“You attacked Duke Lu Ting during your violent cycle, leading to the Duke’s broken ribs and mental instability. Attacking a male Zerg is a highest-level danger. According to interstellar law, you will receive the highest punishment: the death penalty. However, after deliberation by the judges of the Tribunal, taking into account the contributions you made to the empire during your tenure as Admiral, your death penalty has been commuted to life imprisonment. At the same time, you are stripped of all past honors and all your assets.”

The military female finished reading the verdict and closed the document, as if striking the final gavel.

He looked at the figure in the cell.

In those cold, sharp eyes, there was not a trace of fear or panic, as if this verdict had been expected all along. This composure earned him the admiration of even his fellow military females.

“Admiral Bai Xingluo, is there anything else you would like to say?”

Silence lingered for a moment. Just as he thought Bai Xingluo wouldn’t speak, the sound of chains clashing broke the deathly quiet. Although the military female physique is resilient, the lack of water for a long time made Bai Xingluo’s voice sound hoarse.

“Will the citizens of the empire remember me?”

It sounded like a question, but more like a self-muttering.

The military female gripped the verdict tighter. Admiral Bai Xingluo before him was undoubtedly the most outstanding blade of the empire in this era. He had fought under heavy burdens countless times, been severely injured countless times, and returned with hope and victory countless times, writing his own legend. If he could, he didn’t want to see this outcome.

The military female raised his right hand, giving a standard salute, and affirmed, “Admiral Bai Xingluo, the contributions you have made to the empire are indelible.”

Bai Xingluo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“But they all say, the empire is never short of outstanding military females.”

The upcoming live-streamed trial, viewed by tens of millions, would record Bai Xingluo at his most wretched. But just as he was about to be led out, another military female ran in, his hurried steps betraying his panic.

He held a different paper document in his hand.

“Wait, Admiral Bai Xingluo. A male Zerg named Tong Sui has submitted an application to the Marriage Bureau, hoping to become your master.”

A ripple passed through Bai Xingluo’s calm, waveless eyes.

Tong Sui.

It was an unfamiliar name; he didn’t know him. It was as if a glimmer of light had finally broken through the dark, ancient well, reaching down to rescue him.

This was his final hope, but it could also be a fatal blow.

“Admiral Bai Xingluo, do you want to see him?”
