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

When Dr. Bap arrived, Heamis's condition had improved considerably.

"General, how are you feeling now?"

After hearing the lord's question, Heemis paused for three seconds, as if carefully sensing the pain, before gently shaking his head at Gu Heng, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

After observing the female insect's complexion for a while and seeing that she was indeed alright, Gu Heng said, "That's good."

At that moment, Dr. Bap spoke up, "General, let's do another examination for you to see if the medicine from the south is really effective."

Hemirus glanced at the lord instinctively, and with a slight nod from him, he followed Bap into the examination room.

The Zerg's high-tech development is clearly far ahead; even a comprehensive physical examination only requires standing in front of a medical robot Zerg to complete the scan.

This time, Heamis appeared for a significantly shorter time than last time.

Gu Heng caught a glimpse of the examination room door opening and quickly walked up to the two insects.

Gu Heng's gaze swept over Heamis's expressionless face before turning to Dr. Bap and asking, "What were the test results?"

Bap handed the examination report to the male insect, his voice noticeably cheerful as he spoke, "Your Majesty, the examination results are excellent."

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Bap continued speaking with delight, "Even the general's long-standing health problems have been cured, and now the general's health level far exceeds the acceptable range."

This was indeed good news. A hint of a smile appeared in Gu Heng's eyes, clearly showing his happiness for Hermione.

The hospital's incandescent lights were bright and glaring, bathing Heamis in their light. Her flawless profile was illuminated with a soft halo, softening the coldness around her.

After saying goodbye to Dr. Bap, the two insects prepared to head home.

Watching the two figures walk away hand in hand, Bap sighed inwardly, it was rare to see a male insect and a female insect with such a good relationship.

Moreover, after learning that the female insect might be unable to reproduce in the future, the male insect showed no dissatisfaction and had no intention of abandoning the female insect. Instead, he obtained the only remaining dose of the potion in the entire galaxy.

Bap thought that the process must have been difficult.

The aircraft came to a stop, kicking up a cloud of dust, and Gu Heng and Hermes returned home.

The atmosphere was gloomy a few days ago, like a continuous rainy day, pressing down on the insect's chest and making it hard to breathe.

Now he no longer felt anything like before. Gu Heng watched the female insect walk into the living room, a tender smile appearing in his dark eyes.

Heamis seemed to sense something and glanced back.

Gu Heng looked away in that split second, so he didn't notice the female insect turning her head.

Gu Heng went around behind the table and put the hospital's examination report back in its original spot.

While tidying up, Gu Heng paused for a moment, then took out a completely black box from the drawer, about the size of two palms.

Gu Heng remembered that this box wasn't here before, and it was quite heavy, clearly containing something.

If it's not his, then it could only be Heami's.

The idea flashed through Gu Heng's mind for a moment, and then he moved his hand slightly, preparing to put the box back into the drawer.

At the same time, Heamis caught a glimpse of Gu Heng crouching on the ground, and what he was holding in his hand...

Hemires stiffened for a second, then suddenly remembered something and subconsciously took a step toward the male lord.

Gu Heng noticed the insect that had suddenly walked over. His gaze lingered on the female insect's slightly flustered face, and the box that had been put back in the drawer was taken out again.

Gu Heng's fingertips traced the box carved with simple patterns, his expression thoughtful. He took in the female insect's tense reaction, which inexplicably aroused the insect's curiosity.

Gu Heng held the box out in front of Heemis, his voice ambiguous, "General, is this yours?"

Hemir stared at the black box in Gu Heng's hand, remained silent for two seconds, and then nodded without denying it.

Gu Heng looked down at it for a while, then unexpectedly handed the item to the female insect, saying, "Here, keep it safe."

Gu Heng was indeed curious about what was making Hermione nervous, but after a moment, he returned the box to the female insect.

Gu Heng thought that with the female insect right beside him, the specific answer didn't seem so important anymore.

Just like every insect has its own little secret.

Gu Heng also had things he couldn't tell Hermes.

After a long while, Heemis stood there without taking the box from Gu Heng's hand.

Gu Heng looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Heemis pursed her lips and spoke slowly, "My lord, you may open it and take a look."

Gu Heng was slightly taken aback, and then the female insect's voice continued, "This was originally intended to be a gift for you."

"A gift for me?" Gu Heng asked in surprise, his gaze falling on the dark, understated, and elegant box. He hadn't expected things to develop this way.

So, did he discover the gift Heamis was going to give him on his own?

Gu Heng couldn't help but feel happy. While pondering how to open the box, he asked, "Has there been any special occasion recently?"

Why did Heami suddenly prepare a gift for him...?

Gu Heng studied it for a while before figuring out how to open the gift box. It was quite different from ordinary boxes; the designer had clearly used some clever tricks.

After successfully opening the gift box, Gu Heng was dazzled by the colorful and clear crystalline substance inside.

One crystal, so black it resembled ink, stood out prominently.

Gu Heng glanced at it a few more times, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar. He seemed to have a similar one at home, but he couldn't remember who had given it to him.

"My lord, do you like it?"

Hermione's distinctive voice rang out, and Gu Heng composed himself, replying affirmatively, "I like them; their colors are all very beautiful."

Heemis must have put a lot of thought into collecting so many colors.

Heemis, standing to the side, saw that the lord's gaze lingered on it for a long time, and that his expression of fondness seemed genuine, so he gradually felt relieved.

As expected, male insects are attracted to these shiny things.

"If it weren't for that unexpected incident last time, this gift would have been in your hands long ago."

Seeing Gu Heng looking at her with a puzzled expression, Heamis explained to him.

Gu Heng then realized that these were all energy stones.

They were collected by Hermione during his last mission on the Edge Star, and some were purchased from the insectoids who were in charge of mining in the area.

Heamis paused halfway through her sentence.

Gu Heng understood the emotions in his eyes. The unexpected thing Heamis mentioned must be that after returning to the Empire, she was told that her uterus was damaged.

Everything is connected, so this incident is what caused Hermes' prepared gift to not be delivered as planned, and Gu Heng saw it by chance today.

Gu Heng closed the box, preparing to take it to his room later. He casually mentioned, "Why did you want to give me this? I don't think I need the energy stone."

If Gu Heng remembered correctly, weren't energy stones only usable by mechs and starships piloted by female insects...?

Heemis's gaze turned to the male ruler, and he said, "The Second Prince gave you an energy stone before."

Gu Heng's gaze paused; he remembered.

"I want to give you something even better."

Gu Heng subconsciously looked at Hemiris, whose eyes were lowered and whose thick eyelashes cast a deep shadow on her eyelids.

Heemis searched for a long time before finding this satisfactory energy stone, which was exactly the same color as the Lord's eyes and was even purer than the energy stone that the Second Prince had given to the Lord.

Gu Heng belatedly realized that when the Second Prince from next door first came to visit, he did bring an energy stone as a gift, but Gu Heng later returned the favor with a gift of roughly the same value.

Gu Heng's heart softened for a moment, and he reached out to pull the female insect into his arms.

Two gazes met, creating a unique atmosphere in the air.

Gu Heng smiled and said earnestly, word by word, "My favorite gift is the one my queen gave me."

A look of surprise flashed across Heemis's eyes. If the lord liked it, he would search for more beautiful energy stones for him in the future.

But Gu Heng hadn't finished speaking.

"It's not the gift itself, but the insect that gave it."

The lord's voice, low and clear, entered Heamis's ears. His long, slender fingers curled up, his heart pounded, and the slight resentment in his heart dissipated.

"I will keep it safe," Gu Heng said with a smile.

He wanted to place the gift from Heamis in a place where it could be seen at a glance, rather than leaving it in a cold warehouse like the other gifts given to him by the insects.
