Chapter 127: It’s Hatched!
Have I been somewhat distant with Army Lady all this time?
Actually, I treat all the ants the same way.
My tone is cold, my expression is cold… I seem like a difficult person to get along with, so before I was reborn, hardly anyone talked to me except for the person who confessed their feelings.
However, apart from being distant, I also seem to have barely interacted with Army Lady…
It seems like I’ve even talked to Lvzi more times than I have with Army Lady.
I-I didn’t mean for it to be this way!
She spends most of her time working outside and rarely comes home… Isn’t it natural for feelings to fade? Besides, the feelings were already quite faint!
But just because I have little contact doesn’t mean I don’t like her, okay?
Who wouldn’t like a strong ant daughter? When it comes to combat skills, Army Lady is even more outstanding than Red Pupil.
Also, compared to Red Pupil and Lvzi, Army Lady is a more obedient daughter.
Army Lady must like me too, right?
Even though I haven’t checked on my daughters’ thoughts since Red Pupil was born, they must like me for sure.
They have to like me; it’s essential for them to love their mom!
Even though I have little contact with her, I have always been observing her.
Besides Lvzi, I have been keeping an eye on the daughters of A Qualification and most of B Qualification.
…
Let’s return to the present.
Army Lady, who has risen to Class A, seems very pleased, and then she continues hunting.
I originally wanted to suggest that she come back to rest, and I could prepare something delicious for her as a reward.
Because she hasn’t tasted my cooking yet.
But she seems to enjoy fighting more, so I won’t call her back.
It feels like having a daughter who loves to learn, which makes the mother very content.
After watching Army Lady and her Military Ant sisters engage in a few more battles, a shadow quickly moved to the balcony.
The shadow transformed into a gray Stealth Ant.
It was Stealth Three.
"Mom, two eggs are about to hatch."
Hatched? So fast!
It seems like only three or four hours have passed, right? Ah, it must be the eggs of the A Qualification Worker Ant and the Weak Ant that are hatching.
Lin Yu quickly returned to the bedroom.
On the ground, among the five ant eggs, a white egg and a gray egg had cracks appearing on their surfaces, and the two eggs were gently trembling.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yu had arrived, but the trembling of the two eggs became a little faster.
Plop… plop…
Fragments of eggshell began to fall continuously.
Finally, they emerged from their shells almost simultaneously.
After stepping out of their shells, they glanced around and, without a word, both fixed their gaze on the girl with white hair and red eyes standing before them.
"Mom?"
"Mom?"
Why the questioning tone… Is it because of how I look now?
"Yes, it’s me."
After responding, the Worker Ant approached, just as it had when it was newly born.
But the Weak Ant took two steps back and hid behind the eggshell.
Huh, why? Are you scared of me?
"Mom…"
The Worker Ant’s voice drew Lin Yu’s attention back.
The Worker Ant and the Weak Ant are the smallest among all ant species.
Having just hatched, and with Lin Yu having grown larger and taller after transforming from a white ant to a human form, they appeared even tinier.
…
They are only slightly larger than one of my palms.
If it’s just these two little ones, getting close to them… it doesn’t feel intimidating at all.
Moreover, they are so small and look quite adorable.
However, if I think back to who I was before being reborn, I definitely wouldn’t have considered ants to be cute.
Ah, the Little Worker Ant has come close.
"Mommy is so pretty."
This child has such a sweet voice!
Lin Yu bent down and reached out her hand to touch the little creature, but to her surprise, the Little Worker Ant leaped right onto her palm.
Though startled, she didn’t feel scared.
After all, having spent three years with her daughters, she had grown accustomed to the appearances of the ant family, and with their voices, they even seemed endearing.
Of course, other insects like spiders would be a different story.
Lin Yu used her other hand to gently stroke the Little Worker Ant, and its small head leaned into her hand.
"Mommy… Mommy…"
She looked very content.
If she weren’t being called Mommy, she could be just like a pet.
"Are you hungry?"
"I’m hungry."
"Okay, just a moment."
Mom is in a good mood today, so she’s going to give you something special to eat.
Finally, she retrieved a palm-sized chunk of raw meat from another dimension—this was the flesh of a Class A Monster, the Bull Horse.
She held the piece of meat out to the Little Worker Ant.
"Here, eat up."
"Hmm…"
To Lin Yu’s surprise, the ant turned its head away.
Didn’t you say you were hungry?
"What’s the matter?"
"Mom, I don’t want to eat this."
Huh??
A picky eater?
But this is the highest quality meat Mom can offer.
"Why won’t you eat it?"
"…"
The Little Worker Ant looked up at Lin Yu, its expression one of disbelief.
"Mom, this is raw meat."
What’s wrong with raw meat? Oh, could it be…
"You don’t like raw meat?"
"Yeah, the blood smell is too strong… it must be really gross to eat."
Well, to be honest, that’s true.
Wait, why don’t you like raw meat? All the other ants love it.
But if that’s the case, does she prefer cooked food like me? Just like a human! I feel a bit touched to find someone with similar tastes.
Since you don’t like it, that’s too bad—just kidding, a good kid shouldn’t be picky!
You can only grow quickly by eating raw meat!
Good children should follow their mother’s example! Even though I prefer cooked food, I’ve been eating raw meat for the past three years.
Just as Lin Yu was about to insist that the Little Worker Ant eat the Class A Monster meat…
Crack… crack, crack…
A sound came from nearby.
She turned to look.
It was the Little Weak Ant, nibbling on its own eggshell.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, the ant turned and met Lin Yu’s eyes.
In the next moment, the Little Weak Ant quickly hid behind the eggshell.
"I… I’m hungry too…"
She peeked out from behind the eggshell, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s whisper.
Afraid of strangers? And her voice was so soft.
Lin Yu watched the Weak Ant cower behind the eggshell, as if scared of her, and suddenly had an idea.
I’ve got a name for her… Weak Sound.
By the way, she looks like she could be easily bullied.
Ah, I didn’t mean to bully her.
Right, since the Little Worker Ant doesn’t want the raw meat, I’ll give it to her instead.
So, Lin Yu walked over.
As she approached, the Little Weak Ant seemed startled and unsure; she glanced around but found nothing to hide behind, so she curled up as much as possible behind the broken eggshell.
She lifted her head to glance at Lin Yu, but quickly looked down again after their eyes met.
It was so cute, even though it was just a little ant.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but reach out her hand; by the time she did, the Little Weak Ant had already curled into a ball.
She gently patted its small head.
It was smooth and shiny, not as cozy to touch as a fluffy cat or dog.
