A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Chris had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Paparo, this journey will surely be fraught with danger. You must be extremely careful and protect yourself."

They smiled at each other and hurried to the tarmac.

In the distance, a figure could be seen leaning lazily against the aircraft.

Chris's gaze turned cold.

An overwhelming sense of disgust welled up inside me.

What are you doing here?

Raphael stared at him, his thin lips parted slightly, "Take me with you."

That usually bright and beautiful face was now tinged with worldly weariness and sorrow, making her look exceptionally haggard.

Chris sneered.

He was mocked with the most sarcastic tone.

"Do you think you're even qualified to come with me? If it weren't for your cleverness, my lord would have already returned safely to the capital. It's all your stupidity that ruined him."

He deliberately emphasized the word "my".

In his eyes, Raphael was completely out of the game.

Faced with Chris's accusations, Raphael's pale face drained of all color.

But he still looked the other person straight in the eye and refuted them without backing down.

"Don't you have any faults at all? If it weren't for you breaking the rules and only wanting to monopolize Shi Yuxiongzi."

However, they failed to take good care of him, which is why he was placed in such a dangerous situation.

Chris's eyes were filled with bitterness, and he felt even more indignant.

He demanded sharply, "Why must we abide by unreasonable rules? The male insects are brutal, incompetent, and utterly wicked; they are rotten to the core. Why should they enjoy the highest level of resources in the empire?"

Raphael felt as if an unnamed fire was burning inside him, making him extremely agitated.

This emotion kept surging and swelling in his heart until he could no longer suppress it.

A roar came from his throat.

"Because the female insect needs the male insect and cannot live without the male insect, isn't that reason sufficient? Admiral Chris, you are being far too selfish."

"Even insects have selfish desires. I am selfish, but I have never stopped the male from saving other female insects."

Go out on the street and ask any female soldier, who would genuinely be willing to hand over their male master?

However, in many cases, to maintain the overall situation, they have no choice but to make superficial compromises and concessions.

Chris's eyes were bloodshot.

A pricking pain spread through his heart, and his resolute face trembled slightly as a tear slid down his cheek.

His voice became hoarse and shrill due to his intense emotions, filled with resentment that had been suppressed for many days.

The sound made the insect feel a pang of sadness.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two insects reached its peak of tension.

They glared at each other angrily, neither willing to give an inch.

After the heated argument came a long silence.

The silence made the insect feel as if it could almost hear the tension and unease permeating the air.

Paparo, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, was almost speechless with astonishment.

When did these two become so talkative?

They fought tooth and nail for a single male insect.

A female insect in love loses all reason and is no different from a madwoman.

He should never be attracted to any male insect.

I simply couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere.

Paparo quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Alright, stop arguing. Now is not the time to shirk responsibility."

If this continues, Shi Yuxiongzi might become Gaia's groom!

Chris snorted coldly upon hearing this.

His lips moved slightly, but he ultimately said nothing more.

Neither of them was wrong.

Raphael was always law-abiding and lived a peaceful life.

He wanted to break the rules and live with dignity.

Chris knew it.

His selfishness stems from the confidence he receives from his powerful lord.

How can a baby that has been swallowed possibly be vomited up again?

When he was very young, his father took him to a palace banquet.

Pointing to the swarm of insects dressed in flamboyant attire, he told him, "The Insect Emperor's harem has no empress, but it has more than three thousand female servants and slaves."

Therefore, only the strong have a voice; to control one's own destiny, one must climb to a higher position step by step.

Over the years, Chris climbed the ranks relentlessly, covered in wounds, and finally became the Empire's youngest general.

If one cannot become the sole ruler, how can one face the wretched version of oneself?

He convinced himself with self-righteousness that he only felt sorry for Raphael and that he was pathetic.

"Follow me if you're not afraid of death. I have no obligation to protect you, so I hope you won't regret it."

Raphael looked disdainful, rolled his eyes upwards, revealing large patches of white in them.

"Really? We'll see who saves whom then!"

Even now, he still can't figure out where he went wrong.

In his opinion, Chris had no other merits besides his good looks.

All I saw in him was arrogance, cold-bloodedness, selfishness, and a bad temper.

I wonder what kind of spell he cast on Shi Yuxiong? He's made him believe he can't live without him.

It seemed their argument was about to continue indefinitely.

Paparo quickly pushed Raphael onto the aircraft, lamenting to himself, "Insect God, this journey is unlikely to be peaceful..."

Just then, Chris glared at Paparo and yelled, "Whose lieutenant are you anyway? You're always siding with outsiders!"

Another voice followed immediately.

"Paparo, ignore that guy. If you need inhibitors in the future, just tell me."

Paparo was inwardly groaning and dared not even breathe loudly.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu was also having a tough time on the other side.

After being thrown into Filstoll's manor by thugs in suits, he seemed to be trapped in an endless nightmare.

There's always work to be done, and if you don't work, you're not even given a sip of water.

Not only that, but he also has cold, robotic insects around him, constantly and closely monitoring him.

If his rest time exceeds two minutes, he will immediately be subjected to severe electric shock punishment.

No matter where they go, cattle and horses will work hard without complaint.

Shi Yu also tried to escape this terrible manor.

But when he witnessed firsthand the deadly high voltage volts atop the wall, all his courage vanished instantly.

On his second day at the manor, he was preparing to climb over the wall and run away.

An unlucky crow landed on the wall and instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Recalling that terrifying scene, Shi Yu still feels lingering fear.

Fortunately, the vines under his feet tripped him up; otherwise, he would probably have perished like that crow.

"Warning, the idiot has been resting for 1 minute and 59 seconds."

"You're the idiot, your whole family is idiot."

Shi Yu retorted angrily, while raising his hoe high and resignedly turning over the soil.

Why are there such big differences between these two robotic insects?

His husband, Adolf, is a handsome and charming older man, humble and polite, knowledgeable, gentle and considerate.

Then look at this black guy. He looks fierce and menacing. His demeanor and tone are exactly the same as Gaia's.

"Fool, the master wants coffee."

"understood."

Shi Yu gritted his teeth.

My mind is filled with the image of Gaia getting coffee all over her face.
