Chapter 159 Work
"Please! Please! Are you never going to stop?!" Before he could finish listening to what the other person was saying, the Third Prince interrupted him angrily, shouting, "Atazes, considering Arungus's serious injuries, I've already agreed to let you return to the capital to take care of him. I'm not the Insect God; don't come to me begging for wishes!"
The Third Prince was already furious when Atazes bumped into him.
If it weren't for Atazes crying to him a few nights ago about how Arungus had been inexplicably and severely injured by an S-class male insect, and how pitiful he was to have never had a male father since birth, he would have been in trouble.
It was as if he wouldn't see Arengus one last time unless he came back.
In addition, Akokas had been giving him a hard time over a trivial matter, so in a fit of pique, he agreed to let Atazes return.
He wouldn't cause trouble for Cheng Chu at the banquet afterward, so he wouldn't embarrass himself in public, and he wouldn't be beaten by Akkas.
It was all Ataz's fault!
And now, he actually dares to show up again!
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I know it's not good to keep coming to you. Marshal Akkas will be unhappy if he finds out." Atazes lowered his posture and said in a weak voice, "But I have no other choice but to come to you. Arungus is the only female child of me and the Lord, and I can't just watch him fall into such despair."
Atazzes vividly portrayed the humble image of a female father who would do anything for her insect offspring, while also subtly mocking Akochas, successfully manipulating the Third Prince's guilt towards the Fourth Prince once again.
The Third Prince paused, his anger instantly trapped in his chest, unable to be released.
He asked curtly, "What exactly do you want?"
After receiving Professor Onnani's message, Atazes consulted with the Third Prince and obtained his consent, then packed his things and rushed back to the capital the next day.
Upon learning that Arungus was injured because of an S-class male insect, Atazes, with his shrewd mind, quickly realized that this was a golden opportunity.
If he can make good use of this opportunity, Arungus will be able to climb up to this S-class male insect in one fell swoop.
Therefore, despite Arenges being in the medical ward and not in good condition or with low energy, he eagerly pressed Arenges for details about the entire incident.
Through Arungus's intermittent explanations, he deduced from some details that Cheng Chujue was not an ordinary S-class male insect.
Therefore, he immediately contacted the Third Prince, and was able to return to the capital smoothly.
Atazes stammered, "Your Highness, if it weren't for Arungus, I wouldn't have done it again and again..."
The Third Prince said impatiently, "Just say it! Don't give me this nonsense!"
So annoying!
"I'm sorry." Atazes feigned surprise, his voice trembling slightly. "Your Highness, it was Arungus... He offended Lord Chengchu and was dismissed from the Imperial Botanical Research Institute. Professor Onnani also doesn't want him anymore..."
Sanhuang Xiongzi, still feeling unwell, struggled to sit up little by little, supporting himself on the headboard. His voice was weak as he asked directly, "You mean, should I send him back to the research institute, or find him a new job?"
After all, Arungus was able to get into the Imperial Botanical Research Institute thanks to his connections. If he wants to go back now, he can simply make the trip himself.
Atazes hesitated, refusing to speak clearly: "Well, if Arungus goes back to the research institute, his former colleagues will definitely gossip about him. His injury just healed not long ago..."
"Then let's find him a new job, shall we?" The Third Prince couldn't stand his stammering; he was no match for Akokastan's decisiveness.
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for Your Highness?"
Hearing Atazes's fears and anxieties on the other side, the Third Prince grew increasingly irritated.
His tone left no room for argument, and he said directly, "The Saint Vine Cultivation Base needs to recruit a few working insects recently, so send Arungus there."
Atazes' face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will take Arungus to thank you in person."
"No need!" The Third Prince was startled and momentarily forgot the pain in his buttocks. He straightened his body, which aggravated the wound.
"hiss!"
He let out a cry of pain.
Atazes asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
The Third Prince gritted his teeth, ignoring his concern, and said only, "You are not allowed to come over, and you must not let Akkas know about your affairs. Otherwise, I will not let you off."
The Third Emperor often felt that there was no male Zergling in the entire Zergling race who was more frustrated than him.
"Alright, Your Highness, we won't go. Please don't get agitated."
Atazes was only saying it; he knew, of course, that the three princes wouldn't see them. It was precisely because of this that he was even more envious of Akkas's good fortune.
"Now that Arungus is able to work, you should leave the capital as soon as possible, lest you run into Akkas one day." Although the capital is large, there's always a chance of that happening. The Third Prince dares not gamble.
Atazes paused, his fingers clenched until they turned white. Despite his reluctance, he couldn't disobey the male insect opposite him. He wisely replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will leave once Arungus successfully enters the Saintly Vine breeding base."
"Um."
Sanhuang Xiongzi didn't want to say anything more to him and hung up the call.
He tossed the computer aside and slumped back onto the bed in frustration.
A moment later, a timid, childish voice came from the doorway: "Father Xiong... good day."
The Third Prince suddenly lifted his head from under the covers and looked in the direction of the sound.
Standing at the door was a small insect with blond hair and blue eyes. Its big, watery eyes trembled, and it shrank back in fear.
The Third Prince frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Clearly, he couldn't remember the little bug's name.
The little insect's hands dangled, twisting the hem of its clothes. It dared not look him in the eye, and said in a soft, small voice, "Father, I am Sixteen."
The male emperor of the Three Sovereigns had many offspring, seventeen in total, including both male and female offspring. However, he couldn't remember the name of each offspring, so he only called them by their ranking.
"What is it?" The Third Prince's voice was stern, showing no affection whatsoever for the female cub.
Little Sixteen was still young, and although he was scared, he still stammered out his purpose: "Male Father, Female Father asked me... to ask you... whether breakfast should be delivered to your room, or if you would like to eat in the dining room."
He knew from a very young age that the male father didn't like them, the insect offspring. The female father looked cold but wasn't as fierce as the male father. Only their own female father liked them.
After thinking for a moment, the Third Prince said, "Bring it in."
He wouldn't go out and see any insects if he looked like that.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little bug scurried away in a flash.
