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

After informing Heemis of this matter, Gu Heng and Heemis agreed that it was highly likely that Emory was colluding with the southern tribes.

Hemir finally relented regarding Gu Heng's trip to the south, but said he would secretly follow Gu Heng with his troops.

Heemis then reported the matter to the Insect Emperor.

As he expected, the Insect Emperor was furious when he learned of this.

Even within the empire's borders, the southern insects are already so brazenly colluding with the military's female soldiers, demonstrating that they never restrained their wolfish ambitions from the very beginning.

Heamis volunteered to lead troops south, but considering Gu Heng and the potion, he did not set off with the main force. Instead, he secretly followed with a small, agile squad, without alerting the enemy.

Amory's hands were cuffed, his military uniform was tattered and covered in bloodstains, and he looked extremely disheveled.

Seeing Gu Heng looking over, he curled his lips into a cold smile, "How exactly did you find out?"

Emory believed he had erased all traces after leaving the Imperial Army.

But why did the other party still manage to discover me?

Amory still can't figure it out. He was preparing to change his clothes to attend the chief's wedding ceremony, but before he even left the house, he found a light energy gun pressed against his waist.

When the insect made a sound, Emory realized it was Heamis, a superior he knew, but why was the insect in the southern territory...?

Did they want to start a war with the southern tribes? This thought popped into Amori's mind the moment his hands and feet were shackled.

However, no insect answered the question of a traitor like Emory. Heemis looked at Gu Heng with a serious expression and said, "My lord, you should go back to the Empire with Lieutenant Lei and the others."

By now, the insects in the south have probably realized something is wrong and may already be on their way. To ensure the safety of the male, it's best to leave now.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and Gu Heng was not a well-trained female soldier. In order to avoid holding Heamis and the others back, he had no objection to Heamis's suggestion.

But no sooner had Gu Heng left than Curtis arrived. At that moment, his gaze swept past Gu Heng's departing figure and returned to Heemis.

His face was extremely dark, and his voice was filled with gritted teeth, "You guys were in cahoots all along, weren't you? No wonder Gu Heng agreed so readily; you were waiting for me all along."

He had just struggled to break free from the male insect's mental power, and on his way here he had heard that Emory had gone missing.

Now, Curtis saw Emory being captured not far away and understood everything.

Curtis's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "Heamis, it's probably inappropriate for you to bring your army to my territory."

Heemis remained calm and spoke slowly, "We are simply making legitimate arrests of deserters from the Empire."

But why the Empire's deserters would be here was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

Emory, now captured, wore a mask of visible panic on his usually arrogant face. "Chief, you were the one who made me do what happened before. You can't just abandon me!"

Emory practically begged Curtis to save him, but given Curtis's personality, once he realized Emory was no longer of any use, he would likely discard him as a pawn.

How could Emory let this happen? He spoke his mind like a flood of beans, without holding back a single word.

Seeing this, Curtis cursed under his breath, "Idiot."

Heemis's expression remained largely unchanged throughout, as if she had anticipated this scene.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Curtis, the Empire has been merciful and has not wiped you out, but instead of being grateful, you have harbored treacherous intentions and colluded with Imperial female soldiers..."

Curtis smirked indifferently, interrupting Heamis, "Why all the nonsense? If you're going to fight, just do it already."

Heamis's expression darkened upon seeing this.

The air gradually stagnated, and a cold, chilling atmosphere spread.

The soldiers from both sides unconsciously tensed their backs, as if wary of impending danger.

……

On the way, Gu Heng turned back and asked Rhett, "Heamis and the others should be alright, right...?"

Although Gu Heng believed in Hermione's strength, he couldn't help but worry.

Rett pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Since the general's mental strength returned to normal, she can be said to be at the peak of her double S-level combat power."

"And Curtis has never practiced mental energy manipulation, so he probably won't be able to perform at his best when using his mental energy..."

"In short, the general still has a high chance of winning. Even when the general's mental strength was on the verge of danger, he still managed to defeat Curtis."

Rhett had been by Heamis's side for many years, and he seemed very calm now, which put Gu Heng at ease.

The starship headed straight for the Empire without stopping along the way.

Upon returning to the Empire, Gu Heng first had the medicine tested.

The medical insect was the same one that examined Hemires' body last time. When he saw that the insect that came was Gu Heng, he immediately gave Gu Heng an expedited treatment.

Male insects enjoy privileges in everything.

The test results came back shortly afterward.

The doctor walked up to Gu Heng and handed him the test results along with the bottle of blue medicine.

"There is no problem with this medicine. According to the test results, it contains a variety of active factors, one of which can promote the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues."

"After the general takes this medicine, his body should return to normal."

Gu Heng glanced at the test results and found that it was indeed as the doctor had said, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart.

Now all we have to do is wait for Hermione to return and take it.

Gu Heng tightened his grip on the medicine, preparing to go home.

He hadn't gone more than a few steps when the insects called out to him.

The voice sounded familiar, but Gu Heng couldn't immediately place it.

He turned around and saw that it was Bourne.

What a coincidence, how come the other person is also at the hospital?

"Gu Heng, where have you been these past few days? I went to your house but couldn't find you." Byrne had obviously spotted Gu Heng suddenly as well. He jogged over, his face flushed slightly.

"Oh, right, I was also planning to ask the general, but I couldn't find him."

Gu Heng paused slightly. He hadn't told any of the insects except Heamis about his trip to the south.

Their trip to the military was certainly kept secret, so it's understandable that Bourne doesn't know the truth yet.

Gu Heng made up a reason casually, "Hermes and I went on a trip for a few days."

"Ah!" Bourne's eyes widened. "You guys actually went on vacation?"

Gu Heng actually went out to enjoy himself behind his back!

Bourne smacked her lips and asked, "So, where did you go on vacation?"

"Is it Sapantan Island? They say the seawater there is as blue as the sky, as clear as a transparent gemstone."

"It's still the polar snow-capped mountains in the north, where it snows all year round, with snowflakes flying everywhere and never melting..."

Bourne guessed, the light in his eyes growing brighter.

Gu Heng strongly suspected that these were places Bourne himself had wanted to go for a long time, but this was originally a lie fabricated by Gu Heng.

Gu Heng quickly interrupted Byrne, "We didn't go that far, just some nearby attractions, just to relax."

Upon hearing this, Bourne was somewhat disappointed; there was nothing fun to do within the Empire.

To avoid further questioning from Byrne, Gu Heng changed the subject, "Why are you at the hospital?"

His gaze fell on the examination bag in Byrne's hand. Byrne sighed softly and said slowly, "I have a cold."

Gu Heng then realized that his voice was a little hoarse.

"As you know, male insects have weaker immune systems and are frequent visitors to hospitals."

Gu Heng didn't think so. He said in a nonchalant tone, "Then you should exercise more to improve your body's immunity."
