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

Inside the medical room.

After seeing off the last female soldier who came for mental energy guidance, Gu Heng tidied up the table. Before he could even step out the door, he bumped into Bourne, who looked hurried.

Gu Heng thought that Bourne had left something in the infirmary, so he turned to the side, ready to let Bourne in.

Unexpectedly, Bourne stopped in front of Gu Heng and stared intently at him.

Gu Heng: ?

Bourne seemed to jog over, his breathing still ragged.

He looked extremely anxious and said to Gu Heng, "Gu Heng, can you do me a favor?"

"Hmm?" Gu Heng stopped in his tracks and looked at Byrne, his eyes full of doubt.

Gu Heng and Bourne had only met a few times and were not close.

Why would Bourne come to him for help?

"The Sith have been captured and taken to a slave auction house. Can you help me rescue them?"

Perhaps fearing that Gu Heng would be unwilling, Bourne continued, "It must have been those male insects again, but I don't know who started it."

"Could you come with me? They're definitely afraid of you."

"I really can't think of anyone else to turn to, so I've come here to try my luck."

Uh, is he already infamous?

Gu Heng sighed, thinking, "I just saw Sith talking to Bourne perfectly fine last time. How did this happen so suddenly?"

His gaze gradually darkened; none of the male insects were easy to deal with.

Once, Gu Heng went out without telling Heamis, causing him to worry unnecessarily.

Gu Heng learned his lesson this time.

After leaving the military headquarters, he greeted Hemires and received her reply before Gu Heng felt at ease and left with Bourne.

Along the way, Gu Heng still had many things he didn't understand. He asked, "I heard from my empress that Sith was a lieutenant, right? How did he get captured and brought here?"

"They must have used some underhanded tactics."

Byrne couldn't hide his anger. He knew these male insects better than anyone. "Go after the Sith. His rank isn't high, and he's not particularly prominent."

At the entrance of the auction house, one could see groups of male insects coming and going.

"Sir, please show me your invitation."

Insects blocked their way at the door.

Gu Heng was stunned. They needed an invitation?

He turned his head, his eyes questioning Bourne.

The female slave auction house is a playground for noble male insects; ordinary commoner male insects don't even receive an invitation to enter.

Indeed, male insects are also divided into nobles and commoners.

Nobles would obviously receive better treatment and have more rights.

Both of them are common male insects.

"Male insects with a mental strength of A grade or above can enter directly without an invitation," Bourne explained to Gu Heng, knowing this rule.

The most important reason why Byrne came to Gu Heng for help was that he wanted to borrow Gu Heng's S-level mental power.

Moreover, high-level male insects can choose to bring one insect in with them.

Bourne was only a B-rank, and he couldn't enter this place on his own, so he had to be led in by another insect.

Gu Heng was the insect he had chosen.

The computer was bound to the insect's identity information. Gu Heng tapped a few times on the computer and brought up the interface to show the female insect at the door.

After seeing the words on the screen, a hint of surprise flashed across the other person's eyes. After glancing up at Gu Heng, they quickly let them in.

A servant brought over a small booklet and handed it to Gu Heng and the others. It listed the items to be auctioned that day.

Gu Heng folded it up and held it in his hand without looking at it.

They didn't come here to buy anything.

But then, Bourne suddenly screamed from behind, "Damn it!"

Under Gu Heng's questioning gaze, Byrne gritted his teeth, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger, "They actually put Sith in the auction items."

Gu Heng leaned closer and, following Bourne's instructions, he indeed found the female soldier he had seen in the canteen last time in the booklet.

Gu Heng's brows slowly furrowed; they had even placed the Sith in the final, most important item.

"These damned bugs, how could they do this to the Sith!"

At the slave auction house, female soldiers were indeed more popular.

The male insect will admire the sight of a female insect, stronger than itself, kneeling before him, and will break the female insect's pride during the whipping process.

Or perhaps, strip them of their wings that they use to fight, and crush them into the mud.

This gives rise to a strange sense of satisfaction in the male insect's dark heart.

Trading is underway.

Inside a huge cage was a female insect, completely naked, but undeniably beautiful.

The male insects competed to raise their placards.

Gu Heng frowned in disgust.

Bourne also looked uncomfortable, and this scene made him even more eager to rescue Sith.

Bourne didn't want Sith to be treated like that, or rather, to be stared at by those disgusting bugs in the audience.

"I want to go find Sith."

Bourne and Gu Heng went around to the backstage area. "I heard that the female insects are all locked in a dark dungeon in the basement."

We hardly saw any insects along the way.

Before long, they found their way to the location.

Bourne stared at the two female insects guarding the prison, a dilemma forming in his mind.

Gu Heng gave Bourne a look that indicated he didn't need to worry.

The next second, the two female insects' hands and feet were bound, and their mouths were covered.

It was Gu Heng who released his spiritual power.

Oh right, Byrne slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten that the male insect he summoned possessed S-level mental power!

Gu Heng simply transformed his mental energy into a slightly wider strip, like a cloth strip, and covered the mouths of the female insects, preventing them from speaking.

Gu Heng once again scavenged the key from the female insect, this time he was already quite skilled.

The female insect lying on the ground stared wide-eyed. Could someone tell him why a male insect had come to the dark cell?

What are they going to do?

Gu Heng and Byrne moved through rows of cells, their eyes searching for Sith's figure. Gu Heng casually asked, "Is it alright if we just take Sith away like this?"

Byrne clenched his fists tightly. "Siss's military rank is on record in the military. They kidnapped Siss secretly in the first place. Even if we take Siss away, they won't dare to come and question us."

Gu Heng twirled the key in his hand, remaining noncommittal after hearing Bourne's words.

Bourne, who was ahead, suddenly stopped. He walked quickly to a cell and called out in a low but urgent voice.

"Siss!"

The female soldiers inside had several conspicuous whip marks on their uniforms, stained with deep red marks, which looked quite shocking.

Hearing the sound, the female insect slowly raised her head and looked over, her face filled with surprise. "Lord Bourne..."

Just as Bourne seemed about to say something more, Gu Heng understood his feelings but still reminded him, "We'd better leave as soon as possible."

There were two female insects tied up outside the door, and it was unknown whether they would be seen by the female insects taking over the shift.

For safety's sake, they should leave as soon as possible.

Bourne finally calmed down. He moved aside, and Gu Heng immediately stepped forward, inserted the key into the lock, turned it, and pushed open the cell door.

Sith stared blankly at the two male insects. Were they here to rescue him?

The insect that captured him told him viciously that he would soon be sold off as a female slave and would never have a chance to turn his life around.

It was only because he had attracted the attention of some insects.

Sith hadn't figured out at the time when he had offended the insects.

Moreover, his insect offspring are waiting for him at home.

At this moment, Sith was surprised that Lord Bourne would actually bring insects to see him.

Sith was filled with complex emotions.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Bourne said to Sith.

Sith grunted in response, then leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.

Bourne noticed something amiss; even if the powerful female insect had been whipped several times, she wouldn't be in this state.

"What happened? What did they do to you?" Bourne's face was grim.

"Sir, I'm fine. These are just some potions that will render the female insects immobile."

Even after hearing what the female insect said, Bourne's expression did not improve.

"Let me help you."

Sith looked like he wanted to refuse, but Byrne firmly held down his shoulder, which was trying to move.

Gu Heng silently walked ahead to clear the way for them. What to do? He was all alone, like a single insect.

Gu Heng missed the time when Heamis was by his side.

I wonder what Heamis is doing right now...

"Gu Heng, thank you for today." They took a roundabout route, and before leaving, Bourne thanked Gu Heng.

Gu Heng waved goodbye to them.

Before they even left the alley, Bourne and the others were walking ahead, while Gu Heng was some distance away.

The air was still; the only sound was the soft crunching of fallen leaves underfoot.

A sudden numbness ran down Gu Heng's neck, and the figures of Bourne and the others gradually blurred in his vision.

He immediately lost consciousness.
