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

Is Heami's spiritual form a cat?

Curtis's words truly shocked Gu Heng.

He never expected that the spiritual entity of a cold and powerful female insect like Heamis would actually be a soft creature like a cat.

Heemis saw that the lord looked surprised and his gaze lingered on him for a long time, and a sense of unease and annoyance rose in his heart.

Does the male lord also find it incredible that his spiritual form is a cat? Or does the male lord also think that cats look very weak?

Heamis also disliked his spiritual form, and very few insects knew what his spiritual form was.

Curtis only found out during a battle.

He is indeed a formidable opponent; otherwise, Heamis would not have released her spiritual form.

Curtis noticed the astonishment in Gu Heng's eyes. A smile played on his lips. "Heemis, it seems your lord doesn't know what your spiritual form is. A female warrior's spiritual form is actually a soft cat. Male insects would look down on you if they heard that, wouldn't they?"

Hemires glanced quickly at Gu Heng. He felt that even if his spiritual body was a cat, the male lord would not look down on him as Curtis had said.

Heamis's gaze quickly settled on the female insect opposite her, who seemed to enjoy the spectacle. Her eyes flashed with coldness. "My spiritual form is indeed a cat, but whether it's as weak as you say, Curtis, you've already experienced it for yourself, haven't you?"

Admittedly, even if the spiritual body of a dual S-class female soldier is a cat, how could it be weak?

Heemis's words reached Curtis's ears, and his expression seemed to darken suddenly. After letting out a cold snort, he stopped discussing the topic.

But Curtis showed no sign of leaving. Hemirus frowned, his eyes turning cold, and said to shoo away the insects, "Didn't you come here to collect your insects? Take your insects and get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Curtis smirked, his expression turning cold. "It's all thanks to the care you've given them these past few days."

Heemis slightly lifted her eyelids, her face already expressionless.

After Curtis left, Gu Heng watched his retreating figure, then his gaze returned to Heamis. "What was he doing at the military headquarters? What kind of insect did he bring?"

How could the leaders of the southern tribes be allowed to enter and leave the empire's military headquarters so freely?

Moreover, Gu Heng didn't see any insects following Curtis around. Wasn't he afraid that Curtis would steal important military secrets of the empire?

"He's the guy who kidnapped you before coming to bail you out."

As soon as Heamis finished speaking, Gu Heng instantly realized that it was Kam's group of insects.

So, Curtis came to take them away?

"My lord, am I too useless?" Hemirus's profile was hidden in the shadows as he lowered his head and concealed his silent eyes.

Gu Heng wondered why the female insect suddenly said that. "What's wrong?"

"Kidnapping an S-class male insect should be a serious crime, and even a female insect could be sentenced to death. But now, Curtis's men have been let off so easily... I think this outcome is inappropriate."

Gu Heng pondered for a moment, "However, as far as I know, Kam and the others were punished with two hundred light whips."

"Even for strong and healthy female soldiers, their bodies would not be able to withstand it, and they would lose half their lives even if they didn't die."

"But..." Heamis was about to say something more.

Gu Heng interrupted him, "But you tried, didn't you?"

Heemis was surprised that the ruler knew about this. After learning about it today, he did go to the palace to pay homage to the Insect Emperor, but the result was not to his liking.

Heemis pursed her lips. "Although His Majesty the Insect Emperor advocates peace, we have always maintained the principle of 'I will not attack other insects unless they attack me.'"

"This time, I don't know what Curtis promised His Majesty, but the Insect Emperor actually agreed to his unreasonable request and let Curtis take his insect away."

Gu Heng approached and patted his hand reassuringly, "Since this is the Insect Emperor's decision, he must have considered it from a national perspective."

"Those who do wrong should be punished. Now that Cam and the others have been punished, let's put this matter behind us."

Heemis gazed at the powerful ruler, remaining silent for a long time.

If this were any other male insect, they would have already made a huge fuss and demanded an explanation from the insect emperor. Moreover, if the punishment didn't go their way, the matter wouldn't be over.

However, the male lord sees things from a very different perspective; he is broad-minded, just like a male insect that is not from this place.

Heamis realized that he had never seen a male ruler get angry or lose his temper before.

The male ruler always had a faint smile in his eyes. He treated insects gently and was methodical in his work.

When Heemis and Gu Heng made eye contact, the male ruler would always look at him with his eyes curved.

Seeing that he was distracted, Gu Heng assumed that Heamis was still dwelling on what had just happened. He reached out and pulled the female insect into his arms, then kissed her on the lips.

"Okay, I know my lord cares about this because she cares about me, but... please don't be upset because of it, okay?"

The lord's magnified, handsome face was inches away, and his gentle words lingered in his ears. Hemirus slowly nodded and hummed in agreement.

This matter is now considered closed. Gu Heng still remembers what Curtis said earlier: he asked Hermes, "Is your spiritual form really a cat?"

Hemira stiffened slightly, then nodded with a forced smile, "Yes, my lord."

There seemed to be some inexplicable emotion flickering in Gu Heng's eyes. "May I take a look?"

Heamis: ?

He widened his eyes slightly, seemingly puzzled as to why the male would make such a request. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Actually, it's pretty much the same as an ordinary cat..."

"There's nothing to see."

Disappointment flashed in Gu Heng's eyes; Heemis seemed reluctant.

Heemis noticed the male lord's somewhat disappointed expression. "Why do you want to see my spiritual form? Don't you think... as Curtis said, a spiritual form that is a cat is a very weak representation?"

"Hmm?" Gu Heng looked at the slightly listless expression on the female insect's face. After listening to her words, Gu Heng realized that Heemis did not seem to like his spiritual body.

Gu Heng blinked. "The strength of the spiritual entity should be linked to the female insect's spiritual power level, and shouldn't be directly related to its specific form."

Heamis nodded, agreeing. "But..."

He also felt that his spiritual body was not impressive at all when he released it, so he rarely exposed his spiritual body to the insects.

Seeing Hermes hesitate, Gu Heng asked, "But what is it?"

"My spiritual form isn't as imposing as the other insects' spiritual forms; they're all snakes, eagles... Curtis is a leopard too..."

"General, so you don't like the form of your spiritual body, feeling it lacks any... imposing presence?"

Heamis pursed her lips slightly. "Don't you think so?"

Gu Heng immediately shook his head in denial, saying he didn't think so. "But kittens are cute, I like fluffy kittens."

The spiritual body is the solidified spiritual power of the female insect, inseparable from them. Now, being praised like this by the male master, Heemis felt her blood running hot all over her body.

But soon, Heamis's expression softened. "So you just mistook Curtis's spirit form for a cat and that's why you wanted to pet it?"

Gu Heng awkwardly touched his nose; he really couldn't refute that. "I really didn't recognize it as a leopard cub."

Previously, Gu Heng had only encountered ordinary animals in his daily life. He had no idea what a leopard was, and he really felt that it looked a lot like a cat.

Even a cat isn't as good-looking as me.

Gu Heng: ?

Heamis looked conflicted, then, as if making a great decision, said, "Please don't touch other cats..."

Gu Heng looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"You...you can touch my spiritual form; mine is more beautiful than theirs."

Ah, didn't Heamis just say she didn't want to?

Gu Heng was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes lighting up. "Are you serious?"

So, Heamis was willing to show him her spiritual form?

Hemir nodded seriously. Seeing the male lord's excited expression, he felt a little uneasy. What if the male lord didn't like his spiritual form?

Hemira had only just realized that the lord had almost touched Curtis's spiritual body when his mind went blank, and he blurted out the words without thinking.

"Can I touch it now?"

Hemires felt a jolt of fear as Gu Heng suddenly approached.

"A mighty ruler,"

"Not here."

Seeing Heemis's resistance, Gu Heng reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Heemis, not wanting to disappoint her lord, softened her voice, "My lord, let's talk about it at home, shall we?"

Is Heamis worried about other insects seeing her spiritual form?

Gu Heng looked around. Although he didn't see any insects, since it was outdoors, insects could come at any time.

Gu Heng nodded and followed Heemis home.

The aircraft landed smoothly.

As soon as he entered, Gu Heng stared at Hermes with bright eyes, his gaze full of implications.

Heamis understood instantly. After only a moment's hesitation, he transformed into his spiritual form.

A pure white cat appeared on the floor. It was small and light-footed, with its fluffy tail swaying from side to side.

It has a pair of bright, blinking eyes, and the sunlight streaming in from the window reflects the golden glow flowing inside.

At this moment, the huge height difference forced the white cat to look up at Gu Heng.

Gu Heng stared intently at the kitten on the ground. Its golden eyes were as clear and beautiful as jewels, seemingly possessing a magical power that held Gu Heng captive.

Nobody told him that Heamis's spirit form was so cute!

It was so cute it melted his heart.

Perhaps Gu Heng's gaze was too intense, the white cat turned its head to the side, and its fluffy tail suddenly curled forward, covering its bright, watery eyes.

If its fur weren't so long, you could probably see a faint pinkish tinge on its white downy fur.

Gu Heng was stunned when Heamis revealed her spiritual form.

At this moment, Heamis's spiritual form suddenly turned its back to him, and a look of confusion flashed in Gu Heng's eyes.

"Didn't you say I could pet it?" Gu Heng circled around to the white cat, then squatted down. "Put your tail down, okay?"

After a while, it finally slowly moved its tail away, tentatively revealing half of its eyes.

Would a powerful ruler like his spiritual form?

When Gu Heng saw its clear, glass-like golden eyes reappear, he felt as if his heart had been struck, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.

"Shall I begin?" Gu Heng asked it.

The white-haired, golden-eyed kitten gently nodded its head down.

After Gu Heng saw that it agreed, he first gently stroked its head. When his fingertips slid over its soft and smooth fur, Gu Heng's eyes lit up.

It's so soft.

Gu Heng watched its reaction closely, his hand slowly stroking its furry tail down its back.

The unfamiliar touch on its back caused the white cat's body to stiffen instantly.

This was the first time Heemis's spiritual body had been touched by an insect; it was a strange and tingling sensation, like an undeniable electric current rushing through her spine.

But soon, as if stimulated by something, it let out a short cry, flicked its tail, and hid under the table.

Gu Heng watched helplessly as the exquisitely smooth, snow-white tail slipped from his hand, but the white cat then scurried under the table, curling up its entire body, looking inexplicably pitiful.

"Did I hurt you just now?" Gu Heng softened his voice, realizing that he hadn't used much force.

But its reaction left Gu Heng somewhat bewildered.

Under the table, the white cat looked at Gu Heng not far away with a conflicted expression.

The moment the male touched its tail, the entire animal began to tremble uncontrollably.

Heamis's mind went blank for a moment; he didn't know why his tail was so sensitive.

Its tail curls up when touched.

The lord's uneasy voice rang out. Heemis thought, the lord didn't mean it, and... thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite comfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, it went out on its own.

As the white cat walked towards him, Gu Heng smiled slightly. "Your spiritual form is truly beautiful."

It paused, then slowly placed its right paw in Gu Heng's outstretched palm.

Gu Heng's eyes were filled with obvious smiles. He gently stroked the white cat and noticed that its eyes seemed to be squinting in enjoyment, and its tail was swaying comfortably back and forth.

Gu Heng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

It seems that no cat can escape the fate of being petted and stroked.

Gu Heng held it on his lap, willingly becoming its masseuse.

Suddenly, the white cat's body was lifted into the air, and its eyes, which had been narrowed to slits, suddenly widened.

Then, the insect placed it on its thigh, and a rhythmic stroking came from its back. It lowered its head, lay on its lap, and curled its tail comfortably.

After an unknown amount of time, the white cat groggily woke up. Turning its head, it realized with a start that it seemed to have fallen asleep on the male's chest.

Upon realizing this, the white cat's fur stood on end.

Heemis seemed to remember that the male lord had said he wanted to touch his spiritual body, and the male lord's technique was unexpectedly good, so he eventually fell asleep comfortably.

The white cat looked around. Had its master brought it to his room?

When did it come to the male ruler?

Furthermore, how could its feet step on the male's body?

The white cat tried to slip away, but before it had gone far, it was scooped up in the next second.

The white cat cried out in fright.

Gu Heng's eyes were not open, his brows and eyes were shrouded in deep sleep. Hearing the soft meows of the cat, he stroked the fur of the cat in his hand.

"Go to sleep."

The white cat was held in front of Gu Heng's chest by his hand. It struggled to break free but failed. Hearing the male master's voice, which was tinged with weariness, it finally nestled obediently against him and stopped moving.

The hand gently stroked its fur, and the white cat soon closed its eyes and slowly fell asleep.
