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

As Yonaga finished sending the message, he looked up and saw a handsome male insect walking towards him.

He didn't pay much attention at first, until the male insect stopped in front of his table.

Yonaga blurted it out.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hello, I am 'Vegetable Guy'."

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

For a moment, the air fell silent.

Both sides were stunned for a moment.

Ionaga's eyes widened in surprise, and the moment he saw the male insect, he instinctively ignored this tiny bit of certainty.

Unexpectedly, the male insect standing in front of him was the very insect he was about to meet!

Ionaga immediately recognized him and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Ionaga. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Gu Heng."

Yonaga was visibly reserved.

Please, the person in front of me is a handsome and dashing male insect!

Jonathan helped Gu Heng sit down and ordered him a coffee.

"Sir, what are your preferences?"

Gu Heng shook his head; he wasn't particularly interested in bitter coffee. "I'm fine with anything."

"Yes, sir." Ionaga turned slightly to the side, asked the barista about the coffee with the best reviews, and then ordered a popular one for Gu Heng.

After doing all this, Yonaga turned her gaze back to the male insect.

No, wait.

This male insect looks somewhat familiar...

Ionaga's gaze lingered on Gu Heng for far too long, until Gu Heng frowned uncomfortably, at which point Ionaga snapped back to reality.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Jonaga's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the male insect's fair, jade-like face, his heart pounding wildly with a mixture of excitement and complex emotions.

"Excuse me, are you the S-rank Your Majesty that's been circulating online?"

The face that had just flashed through Yonaga's mind seemed to overlap seamlessly with the male insect before him.

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow. He meant that the female insect in front of him was staring at him without blinking as if she were bewitched, because she recognized him.

Gu Heng had no intention of hiding this, and he nodded.

"Oh my God!" Jonaga's excitement didn't seem faked.

His face flushed red, and he seemed unable to express his pent-up emotions. "I actually saw an S-class lord with my own eyes."

"It is truly my honor, Your Majesty."

Yonaga placed his right hand on his chest and bowed his head gently, as if performing an ancient and sacred ritual.

If he weren't in the live streaming industry, he wouldn't be able to keep track of online trending topics and trends, and he wouldn't have been so aware that the male insect was still trending. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized the male insect so quickly.

In fact, male insects are very distinctive in appearance, but if you encounter them on the road, most insects will not think of them that way at first glance.

After all, no one dares to easily imagine that they will be so lucky!

But Jonaga is so lucky right now; his heart is still pounding like a drum.

"Your coffee is ready."

The shop assistant carefully placed the coffee on the tray in front of Gu Heng.

This little incident reminded Jonaga and his group that they hadn't come here simply for coffee. With that in mind, he managed to calm his excitement and get down to business.

"Your Majesty, we have followed your instructions step by step, but for some reason, not a single vegetable seedling has survived."

Gu Heng had pondered the problem before he arrived, but to no avail. He apologized, saying, "I don't know where the problem lies either."

The worry on the male insect's face seemed genuine.

For a moment, Ionaga even considered smoothing out the wrinkles between the male insect's eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, an idea surfaced in the female insect's mind.

Jonaga clenched his fists, his voice barely concealing his excitement. "Hundreds of years ago, a male insect in the empire was found to possess a spiritual power that could solidify into vines, but when tested by the testing agency, nothing was found. However, some insects speculated that this might be an evolution of spiritual power. The male insect's spiritual power might possess plant affinity attributes."

He made a startling conclusion: "Perhaps your mental strength also has this characteristic."

"That's why the vegetable seedlings thrive under your planting, while even if we replicate your method, we still can't get the vegetables to sprout."

The female insect's excited expression contrasted sharply with the bewilderment in Gu Heng's eyes.

What?!

Plant affinity properties?

Does he really have mental power?

"My spiritual power cannot turn into vines."

"You probably haven't tried it yet," Ionaga said.

He pondered, "Although I don't know how that gentleman from many years ago discovered he could turn his mental energy into vines..."

"But perhaps you can give it a try first."

Jonaga genuinely felt that this was highly likely. He might not have been so sure if this had happened to other male insects, but the person sitting opposite him was an S-class lord!

A ruler like him, appearing only once every five hundred years!

The female insect's words piqued Gu Heng's curiosity. He stretched out his right hand and focused his mental energy on it. The almost white mental energy appeared and gradually condensed into a column.

Jonaga stared intently at the male insect's movements. As expected of an S-rank insect, its form, solidified with spiritual energy, was significantly more robust than that of other male insects.

"No, that won't work."

Gu Heng withdrew his mental energy in frustration. He shook his head; he had just tried very hard to visualize the mental energy in his hand as the shape of plant vines, but it still didn't work.

"It's alright, Your Majesty."

Ionaga couldn't bear to see such a handsome and polite female insect looking so dejected, so he comforted her, "Then it's probably due to other factors."

"We'll find it eventually if we check each one one by one."

Gu Heng was also somewhat disappointed, as he had just had high expectations.

He silently hid his hand under the table and tried again.

Um?

He slowly widened his eyes and abruptly raised his gaze from his hands.

"Look!"

Gu Heng frantically gestured for Jonaga to look at his hands.

Jonaga looked in the direction the male insect was pointing, and suddenly, he froze in place, as if nailed to the spot, and was instantly shocked and petrified.

What!

What did he see?!

By the Insect God above, he actually saw the male insect's spiritual power condense into vines!

He's not seeing things!

A clear smile appeared on Gu Heng's lips; he had truly done it.

The spiritual energy in his hand was replaced by a pale green, and the vines in the center of his palm swayed, exuding boundless vitality.

"Now it seems there's no doubt that your mental power also possesses a rare affinity for plants," Jonaga exclaimed.

He was proud because he was the first insect to witness this moment.

"Your spiritual power makes the insect feel very warm," Jonaga said.

This may be the unique advantage of the plant affinity attribute of spiritual power; just by getting close, Yonaga felt warm all over his body.

"I believe that your mental energy guidance will be twice as effective with half the effort, and its effects will be unmatched by any other insect."
