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

The morning light is faint.

Gu Heng was awakened by the knocking on the door. He hadn't even fully opened his eyes yet, and he frowned as he went to open the door.

Outside the door, several female insects stood there. When they saw the male insect open the door, their eyes lit up at the same time. "Sir, we've come to help you with your grooming."

?

Gu Heng is now fully awake, and he remembers that today seems to be the day he "married" Curtis.

Gu Heng shook his head, about to refuse, but the female insects in front of him said, "On such an important day, of course we want to dress you up beautifully."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's lips twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Refusing again would seem deliberate, so Gu Heng had no choice but to step aside and let them in.

The female insects filed in, and Gu Heng stared at their backs. His handsome profile was hidden in the shadows, and his eyes became more somber.

With less than half an hour until the leader's mate ceremony was about to begin, Kam looked around but still couldn't find the protagonist Gu Heng or the other female insects he had sent out.

He frowned and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, where have all the bugs gone?"

With the ceremony about to begin, Kam was in a panic and decided to go to Gu Heng himself, hoping that nothing would go wrong.

By this time, most of the guests had arrived. Kam was anxious, so he walked quickly and soon arrived at Gu Heng's door.

Seeing that the door was closed, Kam knocked lightly a few times with his knuckles bent.

For a long time, no insects came to open the door, and there seemed to be no movement from inside.

Kam's face contorted in pain, and he tightened his grip even more, but there was still no response. A bad feeling crept into his heart, so he had no choice but to send the bug to fetch the spare key.

This back-and-forth took up a lot of time.

With a click, Kam finally opened the door, taking in the entire scene inside...

He was dumbfounded.

All the female insects he had sent to serve Gu Heng that morning were now lying on the ground, their bodies tightly bound with spiritual threads.

A faint scent of male pheromones can be detected above.

Without a doubt, this scene before my eyes is probably Gu Hengqian's!

But wasn't the other party wearing a mental energy restriction ring? How can they still use their mental energy normally?

Cam's brows were deeply furrowed, forming a deep furrow in the middle.

He faced the female insect on the ground, whose eyes were wide open. The insect's mouth was blocked, so it could only make soft, muffled noises.

Kam bent down, removed the cloth stuffing into the female insect's mouth, and before she could speak, he asked, "Where's the male?"

The male insect they were talking about, Gu Heng, was currently alone in a room with Curtis.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Curtis hadn't expected Gu Heng to come to him before the ceremony. Soon, his expression faded, and his gaze fell on the male insect.

At present, Gu Heng is still wearing his everyday clothes and has not changed into the formal attire he is to wear today.

Curtis keenly sensed that something was amiss, but Gu Heng didn't give him time to think about it.

The suddenly appearing spiritual threads silently wrapped around Curtis's waist, then tightened sharply, binding his hands tightly as well.

Gu Heng narrowly avoided a mental attack from the other side; the sharp wind almost grazed his ear, and a few strands of hair fell down.

Gu Heng looked at the deep gash that had now appeared on the once flat floor, and his heart trembled slightly.

Curtis clearly did not show any mercy to Gu Heng just because he was a rare S-class male insect.

"When exactly did you break the seal?" Curtis looked coldly at Gu Heng, his gaze falling on his now empty wrist.

If one ignores the spiritual energy tightly wrapped around the female insect's waist, this is indeed a very intimidating scene.

It was clear that Curtis had let his guard down around Gu Heng, which allowed the male insect's mental power to bind his hands behind his back.

The only attack was launched by Curtis after he realized what was happening, clearly missing the optimal timing...

And Gu Heng dodged it.

Thinking of this, a dark look flashed across Curtis's eyes. He shouldn't have let his guard down.

Gu Heng did not answer his question, but saw that the female insect was struggling and her spiritual threads were shimmering with a faint halo in the sunlight.

Curtis is a double S-class female insect, and Gu Heng is not confident that his mental power can keep her trapped indefinitely.

Therefore, Gu Heng remained vigilant. Under Curtis's gloomy gaze, he took the key from the female insect's waist.

Curtis regretted for a moment leaving the key in such an obvious place, but no one had expected the current situation.

Gu Heng twirled the key between his fingers, his mood improving considerably. As he was leaving, he paused, turned back, and waved to Curtis, "Chief, thank you for your hospitality these past few days."

Under Curtis's almost fiery gaze, Gu Heng calmly walked away.

"Damn it." Curtis struggled a few more times with a gloomy face, but to no avail.

It's just a shame that the male insect's mental power naturally has a suppressive effect on the female insect.

Otherwise, with his S-level mental strength, he wouldn't have been able to trap Curtis even slightly.

Having already traversed the route to the treasure pavilion once before, Gu Heng quickly arrived at the ancient door again, inserted the key, and opened the door.

At this point, everything seems to be going smoothly.

Gu Heng received the bottle of light blue potion, clutching it tightly in his palm, clearly treasuring this hard-won sacred medicine.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Gu Heng bumped into an insect. Before he could even see its face clearly, he took a step back warily.

"A powerful ruler?"

A very familiar voice rang out.

Gu Heng then realized that the insect was actually Heemis, not Curtis as he had thought, and his heart slowly calmed down.

However, Heamis's expression was far from good; in fact, it looked rather grim. Although he saw that the lord had already obtained the potion, but…

His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't take any risks?"

"As agreed, I'll go get the medicine. You just need to wait for me to come find you."

Gu Heng touched his nose guiltily. He had indeed said those words, but he had only meant to appease the female insect at the time.

He can't just sit and wait to die, doing nothing.

Gu Heng changed the subject, his gaze falling on the red-haired female insect behind Heemis. "Did you catch Emory?"

When Gu Heng went to see Curtis in the Empire last time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Emory, whom Marshal Adif had said had already defected.

The appearance of an Imperial deserter in the southern territory is quite thought-provoking.
