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

Hermes' door was tightly shut, and no sound could be heard from the outside.

But the strange green thread from earlier still made Gu Heng suspicious.

"Hermes?"

Gu Heng gently pushed open the door.

The next instant, his entire body seemed to take root and stand still, staring blankly ahead.

Heemis's face was buried in a white garment, her face covered with a rouge-like color, and her eyelashes fluttered gently.

What shocked Gu Heng the most was that he saw two green tentacles on Heamis's forehead.

Gu Heng's intuition told him that this tentacle was related to the green thread that had just wrapped around his finger.

Hermes felt dizzy and sleepy.

Suddenly, Heamis heard a noise, and after opening his eyelids halfway, he was mostly awake.

At the entrance, the powerful ruler stood there, looking at him.

"My lord, what brings you here?" Hemires asked in a flustered manner.

Gu Heng watched as he tried to cover up his earlier actions by stuffing the clothes under the blanket. As he did so, Gu Heng realized that it looked like... his shirt.

Heamis looked somewhat guilty.

Seeing this, Gu Heng walked to the bedside and answered the female insect's question, "I came here under its guidance."

Following the direction of Gu Heng's finger, Hermione suddenly covered his forehead as if he had just realized something.

Sure enough, there were two tentacles there.

The fatigue period is a time when the female insect's body is sensitive and vulnerable in all aspects.

Therefore, he did not notice Hermes' tentacles coming out immediately.

Heamis looked somewhat annoyed. "Did it bother you?"

After speaking, Heamis retracted the antennae on his forehead, lowered his head as if blaming himself, and murmured softly.

"They are so ugly that I let you see them."

Heemis was filled with remorse, wondering why she hadn't discovered it sooner.

"No, General,"

The lord's swift denial caused Heemis to instinctively look up at him.

Gu Heng's eyes held a hint of amusement. "On the contrary, I find them quite adorable."

The usually stern and aloof female insect suddenly developed two antennae on its forehead, giving the entire insect an unexpected touch of softness.

How should I put it? It just feels strangely cute.

Hermes' voice tightened, as if she couldn't believe it. "Really? You really think they're cute?"

Gu Heng gave a noncommittal "hmm," as he had no reason to lie.

After Heamis received another affirmative answer, he blinked slowly. The lord's reply had stirred up ripples in the calm lake of his heart.

Female insects exhibit certain insect-like characteristics during special periods. In their understanding, male insects should not be seen at this time, as the delicate male insects may be frightened.

The male insects always tell them that insectification is disgusting and terrifying.

"Alright, General, now you can tell me..." While Hemires was distracted, Gu Heng bent down and pulled out the clothes that had been hidden under the covers.

Heamis slowly widened his eyes, his face still showing a look of panic.

Gu Heng held up the white shirt directly in front of him and asked quietly, "Why do you have my shirt here?"

An eerily quiet silence followed for three seconds.

Finally, Heamis turned his head to the opposite direction from Gu Heng, and spoke in a soft voice, his tone clearly lacking in force, "It was me, I accidentally took the wrong one."

"Huh?" Gu Heng's expression clearly showed disbelief.

He gave a half-smile. "General, was it merely an accident?"

After a half-second silence, Heamis nodded. "Yes."

Gu Heng smiled, "General, I believe you wouldn't lie to me."

As he spoke, he put down his shirt, seemingly not intending to delve any further.

Gu Heng originally just wanted to tease the female insect.

The words of the powerful ruler made Heemias stiffen; he had indeed lied to the powerful ruler.

Heamis looked conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Actually, it was me... who stole it."

He looked a little embarrassed, "because it has your pheromones on it."

Although it's very faint, it's enough to soothe a female insect in a period of lethargy.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng belatedly realized what was going on.

He first corrected Heemis's words, "General, you are my empress, you can touch my things as you please, how can that be called stealing?"

Hemira stared blankly at the powerful ruler.

Before Gu Heng could finish speaking, he added pointedly, "Would the pheromones left on the clothes be enough?"

Heamis nodded slightly.

Gu Heng was not satisfied with his reaction. He walked sullenly to the other end of the bed, lifted the quilt, and crawled in.

Hemir looked to the side, somewhat confused, and the next second, his body was pulled towards him.

Heamis was caught off guard and fell onto the bed, the insect seemingly still in shock.

Gu Heng hugged him from behind, burying his face in the female insect's neck, his voice muffled, "General, can a shirt be as useful as me?"

The tight, impenetrable distance caused Heemis to stiffen abruptly.

At the same time, the words of the powerful ruler made his heart tremble.

Is that what he meant?

However, right now, Hermione's nose was filled with the scent of male pheromones, and half of his face was buried in the blanket, with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.

Gu Heng kissed the female insect's earlobe. "Alright, General, go to sleep."
