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

The day after the wedding, Heemis went to the military headquarters to ask for leave.

Marshal Adif looked at the female insect before him, his voice anything but calm, "Heemis, you said you wanted to ask for leave?"

Hermes rarely takes a day off, so his initiative to seek out Adef this time was quite surprising.

Hermes remained calm. "According to the rules, I can take a week's leave for my wedding."

The male said he wanted to go on a trip with him, and he called it a "honeymoon".

Adef then understood. He looked at Heamis with an ambiguous expression, sensing that something about the female insect seemed to have changed.

Heamis had only asked for leave a handful of times, and Adef did not make things difficult for him, quickly stamping his leave permit.

Two copies of the leave application form are required.

The military is required to keep records.

Heemis, holding the leave slip stamped by the marshal, walked out.

He walked very fast.

Because the male ruler was waiting for him outside the door.

His powerful lord...

Gu Heng didn't wait long at the door before Heemis came out, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

Gu Heng asked, "Have you taken the leave?"

"Yes, my lord." Heemis showed the note to her lord.

Seeing the red stamp, Gu Heng said in a good mood, "Let's go then, today is the first day of our trip."

This is a journey that can be taken on a whim.

Hermes personally programmed the starship, and they traversed numerous star systems along the way.

Gu Heng walked to the window and gazed at everything outside.

It wasn't bright daylight outside, but rather an endless expanse of black, dotted with tiny specks of light.

Heamis said that those that were shining were planets, only appearing small from a distance.

Gu Heng felt that the scene before him was like the Milky Way in physics, or like the starry river painted by Picasso.

Heemis suddenly walked over and stopped beside Gu Heng, saying out of the blue, "My lord, I can take you home."

"Just give me the coordinates of a planet."

Heemis saw that the king was gazing out the window in silence and assumed that he was missing his homeland.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's gaze became complicated for a moment.

After a long silence, he sighed softly, "Let's talk about it later."

This is a polite way of saying no.

Heamis stood still, the mighty ruler shrouded in mist, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

The powerful ruler must have a secret he can't tell him...

Heemis stood quietly beside the lord, keeping him company as he gazed at the vast starry night.

Their first destination was Extreme Vepan Island, a planet 500 light-years away.

Here lies a vast and boundless sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The transition from light to dark blue is like a dynamic and exquisite painting.

Heamis anchored the starship in the distance.

As the two insects walked past, a sea breeze blew in their faces.

It was cool and refreshing.

Gu Heng comfortably squinted his eyes and walked briskly forward, chasing the cool breeze.

He waved to the insects lagging behind and shouted, "General, come quickly!"

Perhaps Gu Heng's outward emotions affected Hemirus, for a slight smile also appeared on his lips.

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Heng regretted not coming on a trip with Hermes sooner; this place was wonderful everywhere.

You can watch the sunrise in the morning, open the window to see the sea, go for a walk in the afternoon, and lie on the beach to watch the stars at night.

There are many insects that come here for tourism; as far as the eye can see, there's a dense black mass of heads.

Gu Heng and Hermes chose a restaurant with few insects for their meal.

The restaurants by the sea are all open-air, which has a unique charm.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This place is by the sea, and we eat mostly seafood.

Unlike him and Heemis, who had previously eaten the meat of land-dwelling star beasts in the Empire.

Gu Heng picked up a piece of meat he couldn't identify and asked the man opposite him, "Is this something you like?"

Heamis nodded. "Very good, my lord."

Some of the dishes were new to him, but they tasted surprisingly good.

However, even the most unpalatable nutrient solution could be swallowed by Heamis without batting an eye.

"Sir, would you like some flowers?"

The sound stopped beside Gu Heng, and he subconsciously looked up.

A female insect was standing to one side, holding a basket in her hand.

The basket was filled with bright blue flowers.

The female insect spoke again, "You can offer your insect companion a blue jasmine flower."

Gu Heng's gaze fell on the basket; so this was called Blue Bloom.

Gu Heng looked across and noticed that Heamis's gaze was also fixed on the flowers.

Gu Heng picked out the most vibrant flower from the basket and paid for it for the insect.

Gu Heng handed the blue jasmine flower to the insect opposite him and asked, "Do you like it?"

Heamis took it, her gaze lingering on the flower in her hand, clearly captivated by it.

After a long pause, he finally said, "I like it."

The female insect's reaction was as expected.

Throughout the entire day, Heamis never let go of the flower in her hand.

……

Heemis had never felt seven days pass so quickly, as if it had happened in the blink of an eye.

During that week, they sat on the hillside watching the sunset; listened to the roaring waves; and went to the legendary place where the insect god descended...

On the way back, Heamis murmured, "If only time could slow down..."

Gu Heng glanced at the female insect and sensed her reluctance.

He said, "We can still go out and have fun if we have the chance in the future."

Heamis responded with a "Mm".

He just hopes the journey back will be slower.

They also brought back specialties from other planets, as well as some strange and unusual gadgets.

But no one expected that on her very first afternoon back in the empire, Heemis was summoned to the military headquarters.

Gu Heng was puzzled. Why all of a sudden?

He asked, "Is it something urgent?"

Heamis was also unaware of the specific details, and Marshal Adif did not reveal them.

Therefore, Heamis vaguely replied, "I suppose so."

As he was leaving, he said again, "My lord, I will return soon."
