"So damn intense!"
Ethan instantly felt heat surging through his entire body.
But could he really be blamed for this?
The only thing to blame was how ridiculously sexy the Sun Worm Queen was. Those curves, that figure, that-that-that…
"Master, if you need it, I can help you," The Sun Worm Queen covered her mouth and giggled, yet there wasn't the slightest trace of lust on her face.
Perhaps to the Sun Worm Queen, reproduction was simply a normal matter.
But the calmer and more indifferent she acted, the faster Ethan lost interest. The whole thing suddenly felt way too weird.
Snap!
The next moment, the Sun Worm Queen snapped her fingers, and the clone vanished.
Everything felt like an illusion, disappearing before it even left room for fantasy.
"Master, do you want all my offspring to split into clones as well?", the Sun Worm Queen explained, "Although every Sun Worm can create clones, I do not recommend having them overuse this skill."
"Because doing so drains their energy. Especially my first batch of offspring. If they keep creating clones continuously, it will affect their reproductive capabilities."
"Once their energy becomes insufficient, the next generation they produce will very likely have an unqualified rate exceeding ninety percent."
"And this energy is extracted from their life essence, making it extremely difficult to replenish."
"Don't worry. I never planned on using your qualified offspring anyway," Ethan could hear the concern in the Sun Worm Queen's voice.
To begin with, he never intended to sell that many Sun Worms. Someone had to get eliminated in this wave eventually.
Besides, if he sold too many Sun Worms and ended up making sure everyone had food to eat, then who would buy the meat from his Cockroach Immortal arms?
"Thank you, Master!"
The Sun Worm Queen immediately looked happy.
It seemed that for the insect race, nothing mattered more than reproduction and expanding the species.
———
After more than three hundred Sun Worms each split once, Ethan's total number of Sun Worms temporarily exceeded seven hundred.
Ethan handed three hundred cloned Sun Worms to Jeffery to sell.
And he specifically instructed him to sell them all within twenty-four hours if possible. If there were still unsold ones after twelve hours, reduce the price to seventy percent. If there were still leftovers after eighteen hours, slash the price down to thirty percent.
In any case, they had to be sold. Otherwise it would all go to waste.
As for the remaining three hundred infertile Sun Worms, Ethan gave two hundred of them to Jeffery as well. These wouldn't be discounted at all. If people didn't want them, then forget it. They wouldn't die anyway, so they could just sit there and slowly sell over time.
But after Jeffery sold over five hundred Sun Worms, something happened that Ethan never could have anticipated.
The very next day after the sales, someone actually used the Sun Worms' abilities to do something extremely excessive to him.
And the reason was simply because he had money.
———
"Lord!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Early the next morning, while Ethan was still half-asleep, he heard knocking outside his door.
This was a rule he personally established: anyone looking for him had to knock first.
Otherwise those female residents were seriously outrageous. They practically treated his room like the Pet Paradise, coming in whenever they wanted to take a look around, sneak a feel of him while they were at it, and then leave without even locking the door, resulting in women constantly coming and going.
Ethan was extremely unhappy about that.
So… he made it a rule that nobody was allowed to casually enter his room.
Unless he was outside fighting monsters or away from the territory, in which case the attendants were allowed in to clean. At all other times, no unauthorized entry.
"I'm coming!"
Ethan climbed out of bed, casually draped a piece of clothing over himself, then opened the door and said, "What happened?"
"Lord, we were preparing to head out to the fields this morning, but we discovered several humanoid plants in the farmland. Please hurry and go—AHH!"
Halfway through speaking, the attendant's eyes suddenly shifted toward a certain special part of Ethan's body. She gasped in shock and hurriedly covered her eyes.
Of course, all five fingers were spread wide apart, with gaps big enough to fit countless eyeballs through.
"Uh…", Ethan lowered his head for a glance and instantly understood the reason.
'I must've had some weird dream last night.'
Though it was also possible… that he'd simply been too stimulated by the Sun Worm Queen's absolutely perfect figure, causing him to dream all sorts of strange things.
And because it felt uncomfortable pinned there, he absentmindedly pulled it out in his sleep.
Who would've known… that being woken up while half-conscious in the morning would make him completely forget about it.
Now this was awkward.
"Wait a second. I'll go put on some pants. Sorry about that."
After speaking, Ethan was just about to turn around and change clothes first when the attendant suddenly rushed straight into his room. She swiftly and accurately pulled Ethan's clothes from the wardrobe and said, "My lord, I'm the one who should apologize."
"Helping the lord dress is part of our duties."
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, my lord!"
"Please allow me to dress you!"
"Uh…"
Ethan scratched his scalp. But after everything had already been seen, trying to cover things up now seemed meaningless. Besides, the attendant already had his clothes in hand, so he could only brace himself and agree.
Soon after, the attendant quickly began helping Ethan get dressed.
Yes. Get dressed.
Whether she did it intentionally or deliberately, she simply refused to put his pants on first, instead helping him into his shirt and outer coat before anything else.
Only after finishing all the upper garments did the attendant finally keep her eyes straight ahead and help Ethan into his pants. Yet for some reason, her face stayed red the entire time.
'Is my room really that hot?'
"My room is hot?", Ethan couldn't help asking.
"N-No…"
The attendant shook her head repeatedly and said, "It's just… I just feel hot. I don't know why either. Maybe… maybe it's…"
"What is it?"
Ethan looked completely confused.
At that moment, the attendant licked her lips and said, "Maybe I'm hungry! Right, I must be hungry!"
"If you're hungry, go eat at the cafeteria. It's not like I've got anything edible here," Ethan shrugged, completely unable to understand what the attendant was thinking.
The attendant's face instantly turned even redder.
She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Lord! Lord is absolutely right!"
After saying that, the attendant hurriedly stood up, preparing to leave and get breakfast.
But because she had been squatting for too long, the moment she stood up, she accidentally toppled forward toward Ethan.
"Holy shit!"
Ethan was instantly horrified.
Because the direction the attendant was falling toward… was his second life.
He definitely did not want it smashed useless by a headbutt, so Ethan panicked and immediately grabbed her ponytail.
