The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

Gu Heng was dazzled by the countless treasures inside, and he looked around with considerable curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Curtis brought Gu Heng to his treasure vault.

Even a layman like Gu Heng could tell at a glance that all the items in the room were extremely valuable.

Curtis is really that confident in himself?

Before Gu Heng could think further, Curtis turned his back to him and walked to a locked cabinet in a deep corner, where he slowly squatted down.

Then Gu Heng saw Curtis take out a bottle of light blue medicine from inside.

So this is the holy medicine?

Curtis held the vial up in the air, his fingertips slightly cupped, to show Gu Heng. "This is the only vial we have left."

Gu Heng hesitated and said, "How do I know if this bottle is a real potion? What if you give me a fake one?"

Curtis smiled enigmatically. "There's only a small amount of the potion. We can't possibly use insects for testing. If it doesn't work, just come find me."

Last time, Curtis wondered who needed to use this medicine, which made Gu Heng so concerned.

Undeniably, Curtis's first thought was of Heamis, but as far as he knew, although Heamis had been injured last time, she was not seriously hurt.

It was as if some insect had deliberately erased this information; the insects Curtis sent out did not find any useful information about it.

Curtis's words had already convinced Gu Heng of most of what he was saying, so he pursed his lips and didn't ask any further questions.

Curtis glanced at Gu Heng, and seeing that the other party had no further questions, he casually put the medicine bottle back into the wooden box.

As Curtis stood up again, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "Then let's hold the ceremony in two days."

Under Gu Heng's slightly furrowed brows, Curtis's smile deepened. "Didn't you also want to get this potion as soon as possible? Besides, things might change if you delay."

Back when he was still in the Empire, Curtis had already sent insects back to begin preparations.

His tone was low, and the drawn-out ending sounded like it was full of profound meaning.

Gu Heng's hand, which had been clenched slightly, loosened again after a long while, and he nodded in agreement.

He has already arrived at the southern tribe, and if he hesitates, it will only make him seem like he has something to hide.

With such a tight schedule, it's uncertain whether Heemis will make it in time.

Well, Gu Heng had no other choice but to see if he could find an opportunity to send them a message.

When Gu Heng reached the room Curtis had arranged for him, he suddenly stopped. He looked at the female insect standing to the side and asked with a heavy sense of uncertainty, "Will I be staying here for the next few days?"

Curtis gave a noncommittal hum, his expression seemingly pleased.

Gu Heng stood still as if rooted to the spot. His gaze passed through the window and landed on another room not far away. He fell into a deathly silence.

Curtis actually arranged for Gu Heng's room to be next to his.

After Gu Heng entered the room, his mood darkened. Although Curtis didn't say it explicitly, Curtis's actions were like whispering in his ear, "I'm keeping an eye on you..."

In short, the base was heavily guarded, and they did not impose any additional restrictions on Gu Heng's freedom, probably because they were not worried that a male insect without mental power would escape their grasp.

A day has passed.

There was a knock on Gu Heng's door. He opened it in confusion, and after seeing the scene outside, he was stunned.

"Sir, we've come to deliver your formal attire for tomorrow."

Several insects stood outside the door, each holding a tray, the contents of which seemed to be for tomorrow's use.

Seeing this, Gu Heng had no choice but to step aside and gesture for them to come in. After the servants put down their things, they did not leave immediately.

Gu Heng asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

"Sir, you may need to try on the clothes yourself. If there's anything that doesn't fit, we can make some alterations," one of the insects said.

They didn't expect that their leader would suddenly be getting married after returning from the Empire. Although the news was sent in advance, the wedding dress was still rushed to be made.

Gu Heng had no reason to refuse. He looked at the exquisite clothes on the tray and felt a mix of emotions for a moment, even though tomorrow's ceremony might not proceed as planned.

However, this made Gu Heng suddenly realize that he didn't seem to have performed any rituals for Hermes.

They were forced into the match and never expected this, but now...

Gu Heng was lost in thought for a moment. He felt that it would be a great pity if he didn't have such an important event as his once-in-a-lifetime wedding.

The female insect who had just spoken noticed that the handsome male insect seemed to be in a daze for a while. Although he quickly returned to normal, the female insect inexplicably felt that Gu Heng's expression seemed to have quietly become firm.

Curtis assigned Gu Heng a large room with a living room in front and the bedroom a bit of a walk away.

Gu Heng took the dress and went to the bedroom to change.

He moved quickly, and when the female insects waiting outside saw the male insect again, they were all stunned for a moment. Where did their leader find such a handsome male insect?

Gu Heng didn't look in the mirror; it was like a mission for him. After changing his clothes, Gu Heng came out directly.

He stopped three steps away from the female insect, letting them see if there was anything that needed to be modified.

The female insect standing at the very front exclaimed, "It's perfect!"

"This is practically tailor-made for you!"

Gu Heng saw that the other female insects were also nodding, as if they agreed with it.

Since there were no problems, the female insects quickly took their leave. Gu Heng stepped forward and slammed the door shut as the last insect walked out.

He sighed softly, raised his right hand, his slender fingertips landing on the buttons of his tuxedo, preparing to take it off, but before he could even turn around...

A warm body pressed against him; Youchong hugged Gu Heng from behind.

Gu Heng looked down and could only see a pair of arms tightly wrapped around his waist, the knuckles slightly white from the force.

The sudden turn of events made Gu Heng's heart tighten for a moment, but when he saw the mole on Lai Chong's index finger, his heart slowly relaxed.
