Chapter 399: Ruan Ruan’s Unusual Special Period
Because of Cheng Yushu’s special circumstances, Su Hanjing didn’t have time to look at the Light Brain, and naturally didn’t know that Su Ruan sent her a message, so she couldn’t answer her doubts.As a result, Su Ruan waited on the Starship for two days without receiving a reply from her mother, and her video calls went unanswered, which made her a bit worried.
"Could something have happened to Mother?" She looked at Lu Shinian and asked anxiously.
Lu Shinian stared at the increasingly vibrant little antenna on Su Ruan’s head, furrowing his brows and somewhat absent-mindedly saying, "It shouldn’t have."
"There’s no one on the Empire side who can harm him."
"And Cheng Yushu isn’t to be underestimated either."
Even if Su Hanjing were in trouble, Cheng Yushu would definitely save him.
Actually, he was leaning more towards another guess.
"If you’re in a special period, then could Cheng Yushu also..."
Su Ruan came to a sudden realization.
"No wonder Mother isn’t replying."
Surely Father’s special period is preoccupying her.
"I lean towards this guess."
Lu Shinian said with a smile, casually playing with her hair, letting her black hair wind around his fingers, trapping everything in him.
Su Ruan didn’t mind his small actions and agreed, "I think that’s probably it."
"Last time, Mother said Father’s special period clung persistently to her, basically not leaving her side."
"Mother probably doesn’t have time to look at the Light Brain."
Lu Shinian nodded, his gaze never leaving the little antenna on Su Ruan’s head.
He lowered his head, gently pressing his lips to the tip of the antenna.
Su Ruan’s body instinctively trembled, her little hands resting against his chest as she coyly said, "Why did you suddenly kiss me?"
Making her body feel weak.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Shinian asked softly.
Su Ruan shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt, just makes my body a bit weak."
She leaned softly against him, her eyes slightly reddened, long lashes trembling, speaking softly and sweetly, "But there’s no thought of anything else."
Unlike before, she didn’t have the urge to cling to Lu Shinian, instead, her body felt a kind of unexplained weakness.
The spiritual power wasn’t spilling over like before but was locked tight within the Spiritual Sea, even trying to wield it demanded effort.
The completely different feeling made Su Ruan uneasy.
"Do you think it’s because I had the baby that it’s different now?" Su Ruan asked.
Lu Shinian fell into contemplation.
"Saying that, asking Cheng Yushu wouldn’t help."
In the history of the Insect Race, there’s never been a female Companion King Worm, Su Ruan is the first with Companion King Worm genes as a female.
Moreover, she contains human genes, has undergone Time Space Reversal, and as the Evil Beast said, she also controls the laws of time.
All these factors made Su Ruan’s body incredibly complex, even Cheng Yushu couldn’t fully determine what exactly she was.
As for the special period, it goes without saying.
The Companion King Worm displays a highly clingy behavior towards its mate during special periods, but this is only when the Companion King Worm hasn’t had a baby.
Insect Race females bear children, and as a male Companion King Worm, it’s naturally incapable of childbearing.
Yet Su Ruan is both a Companion King Worm and has had a baby, the baby is a Natural Human, so no one knows what will happen to Su Ruan during special periods now.
An unknown feeling spreads between the two.
Lu Shinian held Su Ruan’s little hand, brows knitted, mouth tightly pursed.
"I believe everything will be okay." He said firmly, almost as if soothing Su Ruan, but also reminding himself, "It will be okay."
An unease rose slowly in his heart, so he pulled Su Ruan into his arms, desperately trying to meld her into his bones.
Su Ruan felt a bit pained from his hold, gently tapping his chest with her fingers, and said softly, "Don’t worry, I know my body, there’s no major issue."
"Just a bit weak."
"It’ll pass in a few days."
Lu Shinian remained silent, wrapping her even tighter.
The Starship was already nearing the Insect Domain, slowly heading toward the domain.
The Insect Domain was temporarily leaderless due to Cheng Qingye’s negligence.
Fortunately, after years of Cheng Qingye’s coma, Ian and the others were accustomed to managing without a king, keeping the domain stable even in Cheng Qingye’s absence.
Once the Starship entered the Insect Domain, Archi noticed it immediately and, upon confirming it was an Empire Starship, instantly sent a warning to drive them away.
Unexpectedly, the reply came quickly, stating they were merely passing through to the Federation, hoping to be ignored.
Archi wouldn’t permit such a human provocation to the Insect Race, so he went out immediately.
But due to the vastness of the Insect Domain, reaching the Starship took time, so he still didn’t know Su Ruan and the others were onboard.
Especially during his flight, he noticed a disturbance among the Low-level Insect Clan.
Over the years, due to the scarcity of Energy Stones, they mostly remained dormant as per orders from the High-level Insect Race; if awakened, nearby human planets would suffer.
While indifferent to humans, they cared about Su Ruan, hence the strict order for the Low-level Insect Clan to remain dormant.
But today, inexplicably, the Low-level Insect Clan disregarded their orders, struggling to wake up.
Archi noticed the abnormality halfway, had to stop, and issued a strict order again, commanding them into sleep.
The Low-level Insect Clan, caught between awakening and dormancy, eventually succumbed to Archi’s spiritual pressure of the High-level Insect Race, remaining asleep.
Once they were dormant, Archi flew down to check their state.
On the outside, nothing unusual was detected.
He delved into one’s Spiritual Sea and found traces of activation, seemingly drawn by something, triggering stimulation.
Could the humans have developed some spiritual weapons against the Insect Race?
Considering this possibility, Archi promptly informed Ian and the others, urging them to inspect other planets and ensure the Low-level Insect Clan remained asleep if any large-scale awakenings were discovered.
He himself put the Starship matter aside temporarily to check the situation on other planets.
Due to the delay, Archi missed the chance to encounter Su Ruan.
And the Starship, unobstructed by the Insect Race, gradually headed toward the center of the Insect Domain.
