Chapter 260: Tough or appease?
Zephir lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next, while Bai Yuning sat beside him and couldn't help but reach out and rub his frown: "Are you very distressed?"
Zephir nodded hesitantly and said "hmm".
The male insect has been paying close attention to this new regulation storm and has forcefully joined in the production of new inhibitors, so he more or less knows the military's plan and his intentions, so there is no point in hiding it.
"Are you going to kill them?"
Zephir paused, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Although those insects cleverly found a scapegoat for themselves and an excuse to deceive others, wanting to hide in the dark and wait to enjoy the benefits without spending a penny, they were really too naive.
It is impossible to do all the bad things and not pay the price.
Those noble male insects thought the military would turn a blind eye to the conflict, believing they could continue to get away with it by relying on their male insect status. Unfortunately, change is cruel.
Zephir was worried about not being able to find someone to demonstrate to, and these male insects were delivered to him.
Isn’t this an opportunity?
Bai Yuning looked at the female insect with cold light flashing in her eyes, and he felt worried. He seemed to be watching the other party walking step by step towards the abyss and darkness. The data released by Xiao Ba showed that the blackening value had increased a lot, which was very obvious.
"You want to kill them?" Bai Yuning asked again, but the difference was that he asked more clearly, "Really?"
Zephir lowered his eyes, hiding the icy coldness within them. He smiled, like a gentle spring breeze. "Your Majesty, these criminals have planted a great deal of explosives in the imperial capital, harming numerous insects. They deserve to be punished. But the specifics of how this will happen will be handled by the Inspector General."
Don’t say yes, don’t say no.
Male insects are delicate and fragile. Even though Bai Yuning's physical and psychological qualities are different from those of ordinary insects, Zefeier is still reluctant to talk about these bloody topics in front of him, so as not to scare and worry him.
But Bai Yuning didn't want to let Zephir go. He stared at him with a serious expression, "Have you ever considered that further escalating the conflict will only result in losses for both sides? Male insects are used to a pampered life, and it's hard for them to accept losing these rights all of a sudden."
Zephir stopped smiling. He realized that the male insect in front of him would not give up talking about this topic. Moreover, the male insect was smarter than he thought. He immediately understood that behind the attack was not only Sanakros, but also the noble male insects in the imperial capital.
"So, what do you want to say?" He looked at Bai Yuning and frowned: "You know, I don't want you to get involved in this."
This matter was too dangerous. There was no need for him to put his favorite male insect at risk. This attack by Sanakros was thrilling enough, and there didn't need to be a next one.
"What if I insist on participating?"
When it comes to gender issues, Bai Yuning, as a high-level male insect, cannot avoid the impact of this matter. It's just that the matter is not too serious now, otherwise he would have to stand up and express his attitude.
Not participating? That's unrealistic.
All the male insects with a little power and high rank in the Imperial Star are watching this change. They have long been swept up in the tide of the times and cannot avoid it. It’s just that Bai Yuning is luckier and can have some say.
"Your Majesty..."
"Zephir," Bai Yuning interrupted the female insect and said, "I'm not saying anything good about those male insects, nor am I trying to defend them, but blindly suppressing them will only make the situation get increasingly out of control."
"So what do you think we should do? Change won't satisfy every bug, and tough measures are essential to advancing it." Zephir's tone was calm, as if he was saying something perfectly normal. "In other words, some bloodshed is necessary."
He stroked Bai Yuning's face with a gentle and affectionate gesture, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Are you worried that this will affect you? Don't worry, this was my negligence, and I won't let it happen again. My promise to Daskan still stands, and I will protect you."
It is natural for female insects to protect their male insects.
Bai Yuning believed the female insect's words. The blood on her shoulder was the best proof. He believed that even if she died, she would not put him in danger. Similarly, he did not want to put the female insect in danger.
That's why he got involved in this matter.
"Zephir, male insects need a sense of security. You can't just focus on the rights of female insects without listening to their voices." Bai Yuning gently held the female insect in his arms, his palms roaming soothingly on his back, trying to dispel all his anxiety. "As a qualified reformer, don't be biased. Doing so will lead you down the wrong path."
The female insect was favored by the Insect Emperor, but at the same time she had an unhappy childhood under her male insect brother. Therefore, although she appeared gentle and polite on the surface, she secretly hated male insects. It was inevitable that she would be biased in this new rule.
He had seen the cruelty of male insects, so he could not sympathize with them. He had seen the pity of female insects, so he wanted to give them rights.
This has become a demon in the heart.
"You think this new rule is excessive?" Zephiel asked suddenly. "Do you think female insects should continue to live like this?"
"of course not."
Bai Yuning gently stroked his head and said, "Zephir, you're a smart female insect. You know what I mean. The rights of female insects must be protected, but the emotions of male insects need to be taken care of. Now that their rights have been revoked, they live in insecurity and fear. You must find the strength to allow them to continue living."
"Or, in other words, you need to give them the capital to live on their own while the females become less dependent on you."
Zephir was indeed a clever female insect. She had nearly strayed, but with a single thought, she knew where her problem lay. Bai Yuning's words were not without reason. He had indeed ignored the male insect's emotions, believing it was a two-way game, without much mercy. However, he had forgotten that the implementation of a law required compliance by all insects.
Male insects are brutal and cruel to female insects. If the female insects retaliate, chaos will ensue. Zephir wants to ease the relationship between males and females, so that female insects can be treated fairly, rather than a chaotic situation where one side is defeated and the other side is rebellious.
"So what do you think...what should I do?"
Bai Yuning kissed his beautiful eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Let the male insects participate in the work and give them a source of income."
"Work?"
Although Zephir's attitude had softened somewhat, it couldn't change his impression of the male insects as weak, incompetent, and useless. Work? It was already a blessing from the insect gods that the male insects didn't cause trouble. What kind of work could they possibly do?
Bai Yuning smiled and said, "They have hands and feet, so why can't they work? Aiwen can work, but they can't?"
"Evan?" Zephiel noticed something and looked unhappy. "That male insect that was scamming people in Daskan? Why are you still in touch? He confessed to you and you accepted? Are you in a male-male relationship?"
"..." Bai Yuning paused, a little surprised: "Are you monitoring me?"
"..."
There was silence.
Zephir closed his eyes, looking tired. The fact that the Empire's male insects were uneasy about the new regulations was a problem, and he really had to seriously consider a solution.
Bai Yuning kissed the female insect again, with a glimmer in his eyes, and said softly but with strength: "Zephir, you will do well. You have always been the best."
It is remarkable that one can resolutely insist on reform in an environment like the Zerg where males are superior to females.
He was very proud of this female insect.
Zephir rested his head gently on Bai Yuning's shoulder, his mind full of thoughts. He was thinking about the new rules, about the male insects, and about many, many things... He was always like this, never idle.
