Since his unpleasant argument with Gu Heng in the middle of the night, Kam never expected to see Gu Heng again, especially since it was this male insect who took the initiative to come to him.

Kam's gaze swept over Gu Heng, a question rising in his mind: What brings this male insect here?

After inquiring about the accommodations arranged by the Insect Emperor for the envoys of the southern tribes, Gu Heng came directly over early in the morning.

Gu Heng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, asking, "Is your leader here? I need to speak with him."

Kam frowned. Last time, he wanted Gu Heng to come and provide spiritual guidance to the leader, but the other party was unwilling to come. Why did he take the initiative to come this time and even specifically ask to see the leader himself?

Kam instinctively sensed something was amiss and asked, "What do you want with our leader?"

Gu Heng kept quiet. He knew Cam couldn't make the decision about what he needed to find, and he wanted to discuss it face-to-face with Curtis. "I'll talk to Curtis myself after I see him."

Cam had no choice. He turned around and went inside to look for the bugs, leaving behind the words, "Then wait a bit."

Gu Heng waited patiently in the same spot. He hadn't told Heamis he was coming here today.

If Gu Heng ultimately fails to reach an agreement with the insects in the south, Heemis won't have to have her hopes dashed.

Cam acted quickly, and soon Gu Heng met Curtis.

Gu Heng stared suspiciously at Curtis walking towards him. The female insect's slightly deep eyes were clear and sharp, and a very faint smile was on her thin lips.

Didn't Curtis just experience a mental breakdown? How come he seems perfectly normal now, even with a good mental state?

Gu Heng recalled that he had asked the Minister of Medical Affairs about this matter before coming here, and a guess gradually surfaced in his mind.

Curtis took in the entire figure of the male insect outside the door, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You came to see me in person. Does Heemis know?"

What is this insect suddenly doing to Heemiah?

Gu Heng automatically ignored Curtis's irrelevant question, glanced at him twice, and asked, "Didn't you just have a mental breakdown? Cam said it was quite serious, how come you look so energetic today?"

Gu Heng's words successfully changed Curtis's expression. This time, his mental energy surge was significantly more intense than before, and he almost lost control of the suppressant.

Curtis hadn't forgotten that Cam had gone to Gu Heng for mental guidance, but the worm in front of him refused to come. Now that Gu Heng had suddenly come to find him, Curtis reasonably suspected that Gu Heng had come to mock him.

Thinking of this, Curtis gritted his teeth, his voice sounding like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth, "It's just a mental disturbance, nothing serious."

Gu Heng glanced at him suspiciously. What Curtis said was quite different from the information he had asked.

If female insects experience a mental breakdown, and there is no male insect to guide them, then they can only be injected with mental suppressants.

However, mental energy suppressants also have side effects; they can cause female insects to become sluggish for a short period of time.

Furthermore, the amount of inhibitor needed for each mental disorder will gradually increase. If the female insects use an excessive amount of inhibitor, it will directly cause huge and irreversible damage to their bodies.

Therefore, if a male insect can provide mental guidance, the female insect generally will not choose to use inhibitors.

After all, no insect would risk its life.

Looking at Curtis's calm expression, Gu Heng said with certainty, "I'm afraid the next time you have a mental breakdown, you'll have to go to a male insect for mental guidance."

Curtis was surprised that a male insect knew so much about this. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "What brings you here today?"

Finally getting to the point, Gu Heng said, "I can provide you with mental energy channeling."

Curtis was suspicious. Wasn't the male insect very resistant last time? Why was he offering to give him mental guidance now?

Curtis didn't believe Gu Heng would be so kind; the other party must have some other conditions.

Just as Curtis had expected, Gu Heng continued, "But I need you to make an exchange."

Curtis became curious about what had made Gu Heng change his mind, and asked, "What do you want?"

Gu Heng smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing compared to your life, Chief."

Under Curtis's watchful gaze, Gu Heng slowly revealed the purpose of his trip: "I want the sacred medicine from your southern tribes."

Curtis's expression froze upon hearing this, clearly not expecting Gu Heng to make this request. His gaze toward the male insect became obscure and unreadable.

Curtis rejected the idea almost without thinking, saying, "That's absolutely impossible."

Gu Heng frowned. "When Cam came to me before, he said that whatever I wanted, you would give it to me without hesitation."

Curtis's eyes flickered with an unusual emotion. After a long while, he chuckled softly, "We can agree to that, but I have a condition."

Gu Heng frowned. He knew things wouldn't be that simple, but as long as the requests weren't outrageous, he could barely accept them.

But soon, Curtis's words made Gu Heng's heart sink to the bottom: "After all, there is only one copy of the Holy Medicine in the entire interstellar space."

"Although I don't know what you want this potion for, it must be something urgent. My additional condition is that you leave the Empire and become my chief's wife."

?

Gu Heng gave Curtis a look that was hard to describe, and then solemnly said, "I am now a worm with a female ruler."

Curtis wasn't angry when he heard this; instead, his smile widened. "None of these are problems. As long as you're willing to come with me to the southern tribes, I don't mind anything."

I just don't know if Heemis will go mad by then.

Thinking about this made Curtis feel a little better.

The insect in front of him suddenly laughed, which puzzled Gu Heng. "But I mind that your request is too much for the insect to bear."

Gu Heng's expression revealed his strong dissatisfaction with Curtis's terms.

Curtis shrugged helplessly. "Then I'm afraid I can't grant your request either."

Gu Heng frowned. "Aren't you afraid of dying? A female insect of the double S-rank can only have her mental energy channeled by an S-rank male insect."

Curtis's smile remained unchanged; after learning that the holy medicine would be effective on Gu Heng, he felt quite emboldened.

"My dear male insect, now it is you who needs my help."
