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

After receiving the message from the male lord, Heemis stared at the screen for a full three seconds in a daze.

After a long while, he finally accepted the fact that the male ruler would not be going home with him today.

On the way, Heemis returned home with an insect, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Previously, every time the lord went to work at the military headquarters, he would ask him to walk home together after get off work.

The room was empty, which made it seem rather desolate.

With nothing else to do, Heemis had her housekeeper, Xiao Ai, clean the house inside and out.

The clock hanging in the living room slowly moved from 7:00 to 21:00.

The food on the table had gone cold.

Why hasn't the lord returned home yet after so long?

Hermes sensed something was wrong.

He had the bug find Bourne's contact number and call him.

"What? Gu Heng isn't home yet?"

"But we've been separated for almost two hours."

The insect on the other side sounded surprised.

Two hours?

Hermes' breathing faltered slightly, and her expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"Could something have happened to Gu Heng? But... there shouldn't be any insects so brazen as to kidnap an S-rank male insect." Bourne's voice trailed off, gradually revealing his lack of confidence.

Heemis said something hastily, then hung up the phone and rushed out the door.

*

Gu Heng looked at the simple little clinic in front of him and fell silent.

Kam and his gang didn't kidnap Gu Heng openly, so they definitely couldn't go directly to the hospital, as that would likely be discovered.

So they found a small clinic nearby. Although the environment was rudimentary and looked dilapidated, they figured it should be able to cure Gu Heng's illness.

After a series of examinations, Yi Chong put down his stethoscope and lingered his gaze on Gu Heng for a while longer.

The doctor narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally his gaze fell on Kam and his group of insects.

"This gentleman must have just accidentally ingested something?" the doctor's voice slacked off. "It's nothing serious, just some medicine will do."

Since the insect doctor had said so, Kam's scrutinizing gaze was fixed on the purple-haired female insect.

"You said the food only passed through your hands, so how could there be a problem? Think about how you're going to explain this to me."

The female insect was on the verge of tears; she had no idea what was going on.

After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Gu Heng's complexion gradually improved after half an hour.

Throughout the entire process, Gu Heng did not engage in any underhanded tactics under Kam's nose, nor did he attempt to ask the medical insect for help.

Cam felt something was off, but he didn't think about it too much.

Before leaving, Kam warned the medic not to try to tell anyone about what happened today, or his life as a worm would end.

In all my years of practicing medicine with insects, I have never seen such a savage insect.

He stammered and repeatedly assured me that he would keep today's secret.

Kam was finally satisfied and withdrew the energy gun that was pointing at the medical insect.

A line of insects slowly walked away.

The doctor watched their receding figures, then turned around, his fingertips still trembling slightly, and slowly unfolded the note in his hand.

Kam was keeping a close eye on things, and Gu Heng finally found an opportunity to slip the note into the hand of the medical insect while the other insects weren't paying attention, using the table as cover.

There was also a star card tucked inside the note, containing ten million star coins.

The tattered paper was found by Gu Heng in this abandoned garbage dump, and the pen was made from charcoal he found.

Today's poisoning is no coincidence.

While Gu Heng was using the excuse of going to the toilet, he picked a few mushrooms.

Many kinds of mushrooms grew in the dense forest here, but Gu Heng couldn't name them.

But common sense told him that the more brightly colored a mushroom is, the more likely it is to be poisonous.

So Gu Heng picked two of the most appealing red mushrooms and ate them along with the food they brought over.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not Gu Heng's style of doing things; he cannot simply wait for Hemires to come and save him.

What if Heemis doesn't find this place?

Gu Heng must save himself.

Once again, Cam brought Gu Heng to the abandoned building, but he still felt a little uneasy.

It turns out that insects sometimes have a sixth sense.

The next morning, a bug rushed in to report.

"Oh no! Oh no! It looks like the Imperial army is coming!"

"What?!" Kam raised his eyebrows, looking incredulous, before he could ask for details.

The iron gate outside was kicked open violently.

The sharp, piercing sound, especially in the tense atmosphere, seemed to cut the heart of every insect with a knife.

Of all the insects present, only Gu Heng's eyes lit up slightly as he stared intently at that tall figure.

The leading insect was none other than his female ruler, Heemis.

"Hermes!"

Gu Heng waved excitedly at Hermes.

Heamis immediately spotted Gu Heng's location. His previously tense lips slowly relaxed, and joy flickered in his eyes.

How did Heamis find this place?

Cam looked surprised and uncertain, but the situation was urgent and he really didn't have time to think about it too much.

Gu Heng and Heemis looked like they had known each other for ages, a sight that Cam noticed.

Kam glanced at Gu Heng's unguarded appearance, his eyes flashed, and he released his mental power, intending to kidnap Gu Heng again, and ran towards Gu Heng.

Heemis noticed Cam's actions and her expression changed slightly.

Before Kam's mental energy could even touch Gu Heng himself, it was shattered by an even more surging golden mental energy.

Kam stared at the mental attack that was turning around and heading towards him, his expression slightly blank. Before he could even react, the next second, his entire insect was flipped to the ground.

Accompanied by mournful howls, the other female insects were also dealt with by the insects brought by Heemis.

"My lord," Hemires' eyes were fixed on Gu Heng's figure, and his quickened steps betrayed his eagerness.

Gu Heng also jogged towards Hermes. He rushed over and hugged Hermes, and the female insect staggered back a few steps, caught off guard.

Gu Heng's dark eyes held a burning intensity that made Chong's heart clench.

Then, he planted a kiss on Heamis's cheek.

Heemis looked bewildered; her lord had kissed him again…

But there are still so many insects around.

Heamis looked to the side, and the female insects looked up and down, pretending not to see Heamis and his companion.

Although they were all secretly thinking that it wasn't appropriate for the general to be so public with his love.

"I knew you would come looking for me."

Gu Heng's voice rose at the end, carrying an expected joy.

"Fortunately, the male lord sent insects to deliver the message."

Heemis was able to find this place only after receiving a communication from an insect; otherwise, it might have taken him some more time.

The note Gu Heng gave to Yi Chong stated that his female ruler was a general in the empire, and that he had nothing to worry about if he was threatened by Kam and his group, as they would definitely protect his safety.

Moreover, there are ten million Star Coins in the card.

A huge sum of Star Coins, a sure-fire way to make money.

After Gu Heng successfully delivered the note, he felt much relieved.

Sure enough, Heemis arrived today.
