The next morning, Gu Heng rubbed his sleepy eyes and was about to go see what breakfast the housekeeper, Xiao Ai, had made when he unexpectedly saw a figure.

Heamis was busy in the kitchen when she came out carrying a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

Gu Heng and the female insect's eyes met unexpectedly. He was surprised that the female insect had suddenly started making breakfast instead of handing it over to the housekeeper, Xiao Ai.

His intuition told him that something was unusual about the female insect today.

Gu Heng brushed past the female insect's shoulder and went to the kitchen to bring out the rest of the breakfast.

He had originally planned to ask the female insect if today was a special day.

But Gu Heng keenly sensed Heemis's frequent glances at him. He suppressed his curiosity, his intuition telling him that the female insect would be unable to hold back and speak first.

Sure enough, when the female insect looked at him for the eleventh time, she spoke hesitantly.

"A mighty ruler..."

"Hmm?" Gu Heng looked up.

The female insect's conflicted expression made Gu Heng certain that she had hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell him.

"The military sent me the document reinstating my position last night..."

Heamis said softly.

Gu Heng paused for a moment as he listened to the female insect's slow, deliberate words.

He was puzzled.

Isn't this a good thing?

When he found a photo online of a female insect wearing a military uniform, with gold medals gleaming in front of her that matched the color of his eyes, he could see that the female insect was full of pride and ambition.

The female insect should be happy to be able to return to the military!

Gu Heng carefully studied the female insect's expression. "Are you unhappy?"

Heemis was clearly taken aback when she heard the male insect ask that question.

He was, of course, happy and joyful.

Returning to the military was something he had been longing for.

Heamis poured out what he had been agonizing over all night: "The appointment letter needs your signature..."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.

His signature?

Therefore, his consent is required.

Alright, he finally understood why the female insect was so conflicted; she was afraid he wouldn't agree.

Gu Heng almost laughed in anger, and held out his right hand to him, "Give it to me."

The female insect glanced at Gu Heng's expression.

Gu Heng found it amusing; was he afraid that he would tear it up?

He urged, "Hurry up!"

Heemis took out the document she had prepared beforehand and carefully placed it in the male insect's palm.

Gu Heng could tell how much the female insect cared about this matter; he wasn't so heartless as to do something worse than a pig or a dog.

He flipped to the last page and saw the signature section.

The female insect stood there blankly, motionless.

Gu Heng said irritably, "Pen."

Heamis, as if waking from a dream, handed over the pen she was holding.

As soon as Gu Heng picked up the pen, he noticed the slightly damp feel on it.

He was helpless; just how afraid was the female insect of him not signing?

Heemis stared blankly at the male insect's neat and clean signature. Only when she received the signed document again did she briefly put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

"Thank you, my lord."

All my words can be summed up in one heartfelt thank you.

Gu Heng sighed. "I'm not a feudal lord, and I won't stop you from doing what you want to do."

He had considered this matter when he decided to unleash the female insect's mental power.

Female insects are born to be eagles soaring freely in the sky, and should not be confined to this small plot of land.

Otherwise, what's the difference between this and breaking the female insect's wings?

Heemis stared intently at the male insect, and as she lowered her eyes, her slightly curled knuckles left clear creases on the clean, flat paper.

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds.

Gu Heng broke the somewhat somber atmosphere, "When are you going back to the military?"

"Tomorrow morning at 7:30."

Are you going tomorrow?

Gu Heng thought that this did indeed resemble the decisive nature of a female insect.

After dinner, Heemis sent a message to Rhett.

The other end replied instantly, sending a barrage of messages.

Even through the screen, Heamis could feel his joy.

A smile crept onto his brow.

"Has your lord agreed?!"

"This is fantastic!"

"I swear, your master is the most reasonable male I've ever met!"

The male insects are indeed very good.

Heemis's brow twitched slightly, and the smile on her lips deepened.

He automatically ignored the fact that the female insect had previously complained to him about the negative things the male insect had done.

"I will tell Minister Ebo about this good news right away."

"Our First Army Corps eagerly awaits your return, General."

Each word was taken in by Heamis's eyes.

He felt as if he had returned to the time when he was still working in the military, and there were many insects in the First Army who were trained by him.

Familiar faces flashed before her eyes, stirring up waves in Heemis's heart.

At that moment, his thoughts, which had drifted into the distance, were pulled back by a clear voice.

"Heamis, can you pilot a flying machine?"

It was Gu Heng who found the female insect leaning against a tree and asked a question.

Obviously.

This question seems utterly absurd. As a former general of the Empire and a top student who graduated early from the military academy, Heamis undoubtedly knows how to pilot a flying machine.

Moreover, it is superior to most female insects.

Heemis nodded in Gu Heng's expectant gaze, "Yes, my lord."

Gu Heng, satisfied, led the female insect toward the aircraft's parking area.

Today, Gu Heng plans to take the flying vehicle that the Insect Emperor bestowed upon him last time.

It's a waste not to use someone who already knows how to do it at home.

Moreover, Gu Heng found the aircraft to be very pleasing to the eye last time, and it was said to be a limited edition.

Gu Heng stood in front of the aircraft that towered over him, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

The aircraft is entirely silver-white with a smooth and lustrous surface, appearing to be made of high-quality metal. It is a minimalist design without any unnecessary embellishments, and it radiates a dazzling and captivating luster under the sunlight.

It seems the Insect Emperor is indeed very shrewd. Instead of giving Gu Heng some of those dazzling, multicolored flying machines that are currently popular among male insects, he gave him something versatile and that he couldn't go wrong with.

In conclusion, Gu Heng was very satisfied.
