The Delicate Sweet Top is Always Targeted by the Villain [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 3
After Tong Sui settled on a plan to save Bai Xingluo, time was of the essence. Unable to spare a moment for rest, he dove into the StarNet to research the necessary information.
When the first light of dawn touched the horizon, Tong Sui finally closed his optical computer.
He had compiled all the required documentation and submitted it through the official website. Now, he needed to make a personal visit to the Interstellar Marriage Registry.
For the Zerg, registering a marriage was merely a perfunctory procedure.
In their world, there was no concept of romance or symbolic meaning. Male Zerg did not engage in anything that would disadvantage themselves, only unilaterally imposing obligations upon the female Zerg.
In Tong Sui’s view, however, marriage registration was a solemn and significant occasion.
It meant choosing an auspicious day, dressing formally, and commemorating what should be the most beautiful and sacred moment of love.
He looked down at himself.
The white T-shirt he was wearing felt far too casual.
When Tong Sui stood up from the sofa, his legs had fallen asleep. After waiting a moment for the sensation to return, he walked to the wardrobe and pulled it open.
Tong Sui: “…”
The closet contained only a few sparse, outdated garments.
Most male Zerg were content to just scrape by, and what they wore mattered little to them.
Tong Sui slammed the wardrobe shut.
He had no choice but to reopen his optical computer. He frowned as he looked at the already meager balance in his account.
Logically, male Zerg received subsidies that should prevent such destitution, but to encourage marriage, these subsidies were drastically reduced after reaching adulthood, covering only the barest essentials of life.
Accustomed to living lavishly, male Zerg were forced to marry female spouses and concubines, using the wealth of the female Zerg to maintain their former, glamorous lifestyles.
Although the price was steep, Tong Sui placed an order for a white suit that had caught his eye.
Interstellar express delivery was incredibly efficient. Once the package arrived, Tong Sui unwrapped the beautifully boxed suit and put it on.
The pure white suit looked simple at first glance, but a closer inspection revealed Chinese-style cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar—intricate, understated, and luxurious.
At the thought of wearing this outfit to register his marriage, even though it was just for a mission, Tong Sui felt a sense of unreality.
He hoped that General Bai Xingluo would be someone easy to get along with.
The Interstellar Marriage Registry.
The magnificent, pristine building was filled with futuristic design. Rows of service windows were open, but apart from a few couples here and there, one could barely see any male Zerg in the entire facility.
The ones seeking consultation were all female Zerg, a large portion of them being military females.
Military females who had fought on the battlefield were often seen as too aggressive and rigid, making them unpopular.
Because the number of male Zerg was incredibly scarce, and the eligible ones already had spouses or concubines, most males would rather marry an “A-class” female than a military one.
This often led to much longer waiting periods for the military females.
Due to the frequent use of their mental power during military campaigns, many military females were on the verge of a breakdown, much like gunpowder, ready to explode at the slightest spark.
Just then, Tong Sui, dressed in his white suit, walked into the cold, sterile hall.
He naturally became the focus of the entire room.
The eyes of the suppressed, silent female Zerg lit up instantly.
Heaven above.
Is this really a male Zerg?
An instinctive attraction caused a subtle ripple of restlessness through the atmosphere.
Even from a distance, the faint scent of his pheromones was firmly captured by the female Zerg, and the wings hidden beneath their clothes stirred restlessly.
The male Zerg before them was simply too exquisite.
His soft, smooth black hair, his flawless skin as white as snow, his round, bright eyes, and the pure white suit made him look as handsome as a prince.
A male Zerg like this must have countless suitors!
But, curiously, his scent was so clean.
The slight leakage of his pheromones was sweet and gentle, enough to make all the females present blush and feel lightheaded, as if they were intoxicated.
At that moment, a tall female Zerg standing nearby blocked Tong Sui’s path.
His handsome face was flushed bright red, his eyes fixed intently on Tong Sui, and dark markings were faintly visible from his reddened neck to his cheeks.
Any other Zerg would have known exactly what this was a sign of.
But Tong Sui lacked the keen intuition of the Zerg.
He stopped in his tracks, hesitating, “Are you okay?”
Before Tong Sui could react to what was happening, his wrist was grabbed by the tall female Zerg.
The sound of the other’s heavy, labored breathing filled the air, and his voice was humble and devout, carrying a sort of morbid obsession, “My lord, you smell so wonderful. Could you please lash me hard?”
Tong Sui’s pupils shrank in fear, and he tried to pull his hand back.
“Let go.”
The alarm for security forces rang out instantly.
The female Zerg was tackled to the ground by other military females who rushed out from the vicinity, his hands pinned behind his back.
Even with his cheek pressed against the hard, cold marble floor, the female Zerg’s eyes remained bloodshot, and the Zerg markings had completely surfaced on his skin.
The agitation had made him lose all control. He tore the clothing on his back, spreading out massive wings that momentarily blocked the light from Tong Sui’s vision.
Tong Sui was so startled that he froze in place.
What is this thing?
The female Zerg used brute force to struggle free from the military females holding him back.
“My lord, please don’t be afraid of me.”
The male Zerg acted like the most devout believer, crawling on the ground toward Tong Sui on his knees. He bowed his head low, reverently kissing the top of Tong Sui’s shoe, “Could you please touch them?”
Them?
Tong Sui’s mind went blank.
The female Zerg knelt before him in a prone position, his body curled up like a boiled shrimp, with only the wings on his back fully exposed to Tong Sui’s sight.
This was the first time he had seen a female Zerg’s wings.
Even in their folded state, one could sense their power and ruthlessness; they possessed a heart-stopping, violent beauty.
On the battlefield, these would be terrifying weapons. The sharp edges of the wings shimmered with a cold light, capable of piercing the body of a Star Beast with ease.
Tong Sui was mesmerized.
However, his focused gaze acted like a powerful spark landing on dry tinder, making the semi-transformed female Zerg burn with unbearable heat.
He was completely submissive to the young, green male Zerg before him, even the wings on his back trembling in response.
“My lord, I beg you.”
The voice of the male Zerg was completely hoarse, his neck arched high like a swan waiting for the blade.
He looked to be in great distress.
If it’s just a touch… it shouldn’t matter, right?
Tong Sui reached out his hand in a panic.
His snow-white fingertips formed a sharp contrast with the cold, deadly wings, stimulating the retinas of the female Zerg.
The female’s eyes were bloodshot to the point of popping, his breathing so heavy it was clearly audible.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the cold tip of the wing, a bullet whizzed through the air, accurately striking the out-of-control female Zerg.
Thud.
The female Zerg collapsed to the ground, his obsession still driving him to try and crawl toward Tong Sui.
Tong Sui backed away in terror, his back hitting a firm chest.
Immediately, his shoulders were steadied, and a clear, cool voice spoke from behind him: “It was just a sedative. His life is not in danger.”
Tong Sui turned his head.
Light golden hair flickered before his eyes. The person wore a pure white military uniform, his chest adorned with many dazzling medals—dazzling and aristocratic.
“If you had touched him just now, it would have been equivalent to leaving a temporary mark. He would be able to track your scent and haunt you forever.”
Tong Sui felt a jolt of alarm and curled his fingers inward.
He had no idea that simply touching a female Zerg’s wings would have such severe consequences.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
Several subordinates who had rushed over saluted the handsome golden-haired female Zerg, their voices full of respect and admiration.
His Highness?
Tong Sui was stunned as he recalled the novel’s plot transmitted to him by the system.
Lu Yunyi, a royal, had very little screen time, but from the few mentions, he was described as a prince very popular with the public.
Not only did he have S-rank mental power, but he was also handsome, far superior to the other mediocre princes and heirs.
It was a pity he was a female Zerg and had no right to inherit the throne.
While Tong Sui was lost in thought, the golden-haired female Zerg took off his pure white gloves.
He gracefully extended a hand toward Tong Sui, his movements noble and fluid, “I am Lu Yunyi. My dear lord, I wonder if I might have the honor of knowing your name.”
Tong Sui paused, curled his fingers, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he awkwardly extended his own hand.
“T-Tong Sui.”
“Tong Sui…”
Lu Yunyi whispered the name, his voice lingering with a hint of tenderness. He looked up and smiled faintly, “If it wouldn’t be an intrusion, I would like to be friends with you and exchange contact information for our optical computers.”
Lu Yunyi was impeccably well-mannered and polite. Despite being royalty, he showed not a shred of arrogance, and he had just saved him.
Tong Sui found it difficult to refuse.
His empty contact list now had a new name.
Tong Sui carefully edited the contact name and looked up.
He noticed the female Zerg from earlier, who had fainted, being dragged away by several military females.
Tong Sui suddenly thought of the rigorous protection laws for male Zerg in this world and turned to look at Lu Yunyi.
“Will he face very severe punishment?”
“Yes. According to interstellar law, any female Zerg who harasses a precious male Zerg without permission commits a serious crime. He will be prosecuted and faces at least ten years in prison.”
Tong Sui furrowed his brow.
Male Zerg did indeed need protection, but the excessive sentencing and the double standard were things he couldn’t adapt to in such a short time, having lived for years in a relatively fair society.
The military officer standing beside Lu Yunyi leaned in and whispered something into his ear.
“Understood.” Lu Yunyi looked at Tong Sui with a hint of apology in his smile.
“It was a pleasure to meet you today, Lord Tong Sui. Unfortunately, I have some official business I must attend to, so I must bid you farewell for now.”
He turned to the two military females nearby and signaled for them to come over.
The soldiers said respectfully, “Your Highness, please give us your orders.”
Lu Yunyi smiled as he spoke to Tong Sui, but his expression became serious when he turned to the soldiers.
“To prevent another incident like the one we just witnessed, I am leaving you two to protect Lord Tong Sui. There can be no mistakes. Do you hear me?”
“Yes! Your Highness!”
Lu Yunyi nodded and turned to Tong Sui, “Then I shall take my leave, Lord Tong Sui.”
Tong Sui nodded.
Watching Lu Yunyi walk away, he felt his head spinning slightly.
However, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit.
While the other female Zerg in the vicinity were still restless, after the scene that had just unfolded, and with the two military soldiers Lu Yunyi had left behind, they could only suppress their impulses.
They appeared to be doing their own things, but they were all observing Tong Sui’s every move.
He walked toward an empty service window and sat down.
“Hello, what business can I assist you with today—?”
The A-class clerk looked up. The moment he saw Tong Sui, the rest of his greeting died on his lips. The script he had repeated thousands of times left him with nothing but a blank mind.
Heavens.
How can a male Zerg be this beautiful?!
He was so close; he looked so young, his hair looked so soft and pleasant to touch.
Was he really an adult male Zerg?
Seeing that the clerk remained silent, Tong Sui initiated, “Hello, I have already registered my basic information on the StarNet. I would like to submit a marriage application for a military female.”
Even his voice is so pleasant, the clerk thought, feeling a little lightheaded. He’s so gentle and polite, and even used honorifics.
Wait.
The clerk realized what the beautiful male Zerg had just said.
“You want to submit a marriage application for a military female?”
