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

"Tsk tsk tsk... It's just a regular sleeping pill, it won't kill any bugs."

Patin frowned impatiently.

I still have the energy to curse the bugs, and my symptoms are a little better than yesterday.

Chris's lips moved slightly.

His thin face was now filled with uncontrollable anger.

He gripped the medicine packet tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white, almost crushing the pills inside.

"Can a regular sleeping pill keep an insect asleep for two days?"

Chris scoffed. "Do you think those words will attract any insect bites?"

Patin frowned even more, displeased at being questioned by the insect.

He explained, "The male insects kept inside are all Lord Gaia's pets."

I'm just worried that your brother might not be able to resist temptation and might get into some wicked thoughts.

Patin's patience was running out, and he urged him to take the medicine quickly.

Upon hearing this, Chris's purple eyes flickered slightly, and the knot in his chest slowly dissipated.

A female insect as promiscuous as Gaia would certainly not be with her male master.

He did not cooperate obediently as Patin had hoped.

He raised his head and stared directly at the other person.

Without flinching, she said, "My recovery is too slow. You must remove the inhibitions on my feet for me to see any results."

In fact, he had a way to destroy the suppression ring, but he was worried that doing so would arouse Patin's suspicion, so he did not take action.

Patin gave the other person a deep look.

He seemed to be weighing his words.

Ultimately, they decided to remove the restraint ring from his foot.

"I promise you, you better not try anything funny, or I'll make you suffer a terrible death."

Chris swallowed the pill right in front of him, his throat feeling like it was being stabbed.

He endured the pain, poured the remaining pills into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them.

The bitter taste spread in his mouth, but he seemed not to feel it, not even frowning.

With the wedding date fast approaching, he must recover quickly and reclaim his rightful place as the ruler.

The moment the restraint ankle bracelets were removed, Chris clearly felt much lighter, as if a heavy shackle had been removed from his body.

In the next instant, a turbulent surge erupted in his sea of ​​consciousness, his spiritual power surging wildly like ignited gunpowder.

Chris's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He quickly called out to Padding, who was about to turn and leave.

"Wait... I need an inhibitor."

Chris's voice was a little hoarse, revealing a hint of urgency.

Padding turned around at the sound and coldly watched him break down.

He finally collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, before leaving behind a single sentence.

"You just took your medication, and injecting an inhibitor now will affect its effectiveness. Just bear with it and it will pass."

After saying that, he didn't look back again and turned away without turning his head.

Chris stared wide-eyed at the fading light, as if it were the last glimmer of hope in his life.

As the light disappeared completely, the surroundings were instantly enveloped in endless darkness, suffocating the insects.

The male insects that were just terrified now wore a different expression, cursing and swearing, uttering vulgar and offensive words.

Chris bit his lip, feeling as if his body was shattered, in excruciating pain.

Time passed second by second. Chris didn't know how much time had passed; maybe it was a few minutes, maybe it was several hours.

In the dungeon, time has lost its meaning.

Finally, the dungeon door opened again, and a cacophony of footsteps approached from afar.

Chris was in so much pain that he was drenched in sweat and didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

"Lord Robin specifically instructed that he be locked up with that sick insect."

"If we get caught, we'll be in deep trouble."

"What's there to be afraid of? We're just following orders. We have Lord Robin to back us up."

"I'm still a little worried..."

"Hey, stop arguing and just throw him in already."

The cell door opened and then closed.

Chris felt Paparo being dragged out, and then a bug was thrown in hard.

A strong smell of blood filled the air, and Chris could tell without even looking that the new insect was seriously injured.

Knowing that the other party posed no threat to him, he gradually relaxed his vigilance and fell into a deep sleep.

Shi Yu suddenly woke up with a start.

Slowly opening my eyes, I found myself surrounded by complete darkness.

That's when I realized it was dark.

He blinked and quickly adjusted to the darkness.

Looking around, I found myself in a damp and dark dungeon.

The cage reeked of decay, the ground was damp, and the atmosphere was cold and terrifying.

Shi Yu pondered how to escape.

He caught a glimpse of that familiar figure in the corner, and his heart clenched.

Even in the dark, he recognized Chris at a glance.

"Honey, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ignoring the pain in his body, Shi Yu struggled to move his body and crawl over little by little.

He used all his strength to cover the short distance of just a few steps.

His wounds reopened as he crawled, and blood seeped out, soaking his shirt, whose original color was no longer recognizable.

Finally, he climbed up to Chris's side.

With trembling hands, she reached out and gently scooped the insect into her bosom.

When they touched Chris's body, they found that his body was unusually hot, like he had a fever.

Shi Yu was extremely anxious and subconsciously touched Chris's forehead, which was burning hot.

He leaned closer to look, but when he saw Chris's face, he froze as if struck by lightning.

It was a completely unfamiliar face, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to the Chris he remembered.

He realized what was happening, his body jerked violently, and he almost threw the insect in his arms away.

Perhaps his movements were too large, startling the insect in his arms.

Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of dreamlike purple eyes.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.

Shi Yu's eyes welled up slightly, and bitter tears streamed down his face.

A torrent of emotions surged within me, and my throat felt as if something was blocking it.

The words I wanted to say were all stuck in my throat at that moment.

Finally, one sentence broke through that barrier and was squeezed out of his mouth with difficulty.

"Honey, I miss you so much."

Chris looked at Shi Yu with a dazed expression, not fully awake.

He muttered to himself, "This dream felt so real!"

"It's not a dream, honey, touch my face..."

Shi Yu hurriedly grabbed Chris's hand and pressed his face against it, letting him feel his warmth.

My fingers touched that handsome face, and the glistening tears were warm and moist.

The touch was so real that Chris finally believed it wasn't a dream.

His vision blurred, and the taut string in his mind suddenly loosened.

She whispered, "My lord... I'm in so much pain."

Shi Yu took his hand and kissed it.

"Honey, let me help you regulate your mental energy, the pain will subside soon."
