Fourteen days have passed since Heemis left.

The night was deep, and everything outside the window was pitch black, gloomy and indistinct.

The window wasn't closed tightly, and the cold air from the middle of the night seeped in through the cracks, bringing a chill.

A semi-transparent screen floated in the air, clearly reflecting the face of a female insect.

A minute ago, Gu Heng made a video call to the female soldier on the planet Pamiveda.

Heemis looked as if she had just taken a bath; a strand of hair that had slipped down her forehead was still damp, softening the hardness between her brows and adding a touch of gentleness.

Heemis gazed at the figure of the powerful ruler projected onto the screen. His tone was slow, as if intentionally prolonging this hard-won video call, "My lord, what brings you here?"

Gu Heng shook his head. "No, I just wanted to see you."

Although they had just had a video call three days ago...

Upon hearing this, Heemis's hand holding the communicator clenched slightly, and she silently brought it closer, as if wanting the lord to see it more clearly.

Gu Heng took in the female insect's subtle movements, a hint of amusement hidden deep in his dark eyes.

He didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "How's everything been lately?"

Heamis paused for a second, then said truthfully, "I've encountered a small problem, but it will eventually be resolved."

The female insect looked noticeably better, with a rosy lip.

Gu Heng looked away and slowly responded.

Thinking of something, Gu Heng's gaze moved downwards, but unfortunately the floating screen only went up to the female insect's chest, and he couldn't see anything further down.

He looked away and asked, "Did the bug cubs bother you?"

"No," Hemires' eyelashes drooped slightly, his hand already touching the spot where the insect larva was growing. He said slowly, "He's very well-behaved."

Gu Heng said, "Let me see."

The night before Heemis left, the female insect's abdomen was still flat. I wonder if it has changed in the many days that have passed.

Heemis looked into the lord's clear, untainted eyes, hesitated for a moment, and moved the hand holding the communicator back slightly.

Immediately afterwards, his waist and abdomen were clearly visible in the image.

The female insect, leaning against the headboard, was wearing soft pajamas that covered her skin completely.

Seeing this, Gu Heng reminded him, "I can't see clearly, pull your clothes open a bit."

The lord's voice, even through the light screen, easily reached Heami's ears.

After a few seconds, he hesitated for a moment, then gently lifted the hem of his shirt with his fingertips and pulled it up a little.

Midway through, Heemis glanced at the male ruler out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the other party did not call for a stop, he pulled his lower garment down a little further, completely exposing his lower abdomen.

Heemis could sense that the lord's gaze was fixed steadily on her.

The room was silent except for him; Heemis silently accepted the scrutiny from the male insect tens of thousands of light-years away.

That gaze was so tangible that the insects could not ignore it, and it seemed to carry the heat of a wildfire, creeping inch by inch up Heemis's exposed skin.

The insect patterns behind him seemed to be getting slightly hot.

"It's already obvious..."

The lord's abrupt words startled Heemis for half a second, but she quickly understood his meaning by following the gaze of the insect opposite her.

Gu Heng looked at the insects on the screen.

The female insect's abdomen already has a slightly bulging curve, which is not very noticeable, but can still be seen if you look closely.

It has a slightly fleshy texture and looks and feels great to the touch.

Gu Heng's eyes darkened slightly for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Cover it up, don't catch a cold."

The indoor temperature was neither too cold nor too hot. The female insect was only exposed for a short while, and being healthy, she naturally wouldn't get sick or catch a cold because of it.

However, Heemis did it quickly, restoring her clothes to their original neatness.

Gu Heng glanced at the time, and when he looked up again, he said, "It's getting late, General, you should get some rest."

Heamis knew this meant the communication was over, and he responded after a few seconds.

Heemis looked at the powerful ruler in the video and said softly, "Sweet dreams, my lord."

Gu Heng smiled, "General, good night."

The video was cut off.

The large room fell silent once more.

Hemira's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he held the communicator in his hand. He remained in this position for a long time.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

When the first rays of sunlight slant in through the window, it heralds the start of a new day.

Inside the medical room, Gu Heng was providing mental support to the female soldier.

Uzel's gaze involuntarily fell on the man opposite him, whose black hair and black eyes were particularly striking. He was the only male insect he had ever seen that was so unique.

Uzel relaxed, and a gentle spiritual energy coursed through his body, making him feel more relaxed than ever before.

Uzer is a lieutenant general, and other male insects have done mental guidance for him before, but this gentleman's method was clearly more effective.

"That's enough." Gu Heng withdrew his mental energy.

Uzel then came to his senses, and the departure of the warm spiritual energy left him feeling lost for a moment.

He stood up and thanked the male insect, "Thank you, sir."

Uzel turned to leave, but as he reached the door, he noticed something and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Heng heard the noise and looked over.

Uzel's voice rang out at that moment, "Lord Bern."

Bourne peeked out the doorway and, seeing the insect call his name, instinctively put his index finger to his lips, signaling the other to be quiet.

But it was obviously too late. When Bourne looked over again, his eyes met Gu Heng's.

Uzel is gone.

Bourne was caught red-handed, and he straightened his back sheepishly as he walked in, his steps slightly unsteady.

Gu Heng was puzzled by his thieving behavior just now. "Why were you sneaking around, hiding by the door and not coming in?"

Seeing that Gu Heng's tone and expression were normal, Bourne was delighted. He pulled over a stool and sat down next to Gu Heng.

"Harmful,"

Seeing that Gu Heng seemed to have put the previous incident behind him, Bourne breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just felt bad about accidentally blowing up your kitchen last time."

Gu Heng glanced at him and gave a curt, emotionless snort.

He'd lived for over twenty years and had never seen anyone blow up a kitchen.

Bourne was the first insect to open his eyes.

That day, Gu Heng and Bourne spent three whole hours cleaning together, which completely drove him to the brink of collapse.

Gu Heng offered him advice expressionlessly, "You'd better not go into the kitchen in the future."

Bourne was a kitchen terrorist.

When Bourne was told this by his friend, he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal; he did indeed lack talent in cooking.
