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

Shi Yu looked greedily at the insect in his arms.

Having just finished calming Chris's mental energy, his body was in excruciating pain.

A sudden thought struck me: could I use my mental power to heal wounds?

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Shi Yu concentrated his mind and focused his mental energy on his most severely injured back.

To the insect's surprise, this method was surprisingly effective.

The wound began to heal at a visible speed, and the pain gradually subsided.

Shi Yu was secretly delighted, and immediately thought of Tatarot in the cage opposite.

He focused his mind again, extending his mental energy to Tatarot.

Sure enough, Tataro's wounds began to heal slowly. Although he had not yet woken up, his complexion regained some color.

Just as Shi Yu withdrew his mental energy, a strong feeling of dizziness struck him.

His body swayed slightly, but he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep, holding his wife in his arms.

……

Chris was awakened by a commotion.

He groggily opened his eyes and saw the robot insect pushing a food cart towards him.

This means that another day has passed.

These robotic insects only deliver one meal a day, and the portion is pitifully small.

The food was hard to swallow, but in order to nourish my body, I had to force myself to eat it.

He shifted his body and removed Paparo's hand from his waist.

She said softly, "Wake up! You haven't eaten for two days. If you don't eat soon, you'll die."

Shi Yu didn't even open his eyes, but mumbled something under his breath.

"Wife, I want to eat you more."

After saying that, he used both his hands and feet to tightly wrap himself around Chris.

"A mighty ruler..."

Looking at the face he had longed for day and night, Chris's eyes reddened, and his voice was hoarse but filled with the joy of having regained what he had lost.

She raised her hand to smooth the lord's messy hair, tears silently streaming down her face, a broken sob escaping her throat.

"These past few days, I've been searching for you, thinking of you constantly..."

Shi Yu opened his eyes abruptly as if electrocuted, his calm gaze overwhelmed by a surge of heartache.

He stretched out his arms and pulled Chris into a tight embrace, as if he wanted to become one with him.

"Wife, it's all my fault. From now on, we will never be apart again."

Chris hugged the male king back, his shoulders trembling slightly, but he couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Number three, dinner is ready."

A cold, mechanical voice came through.

Shi Yu reluctantly let go of his wife, stood up, and walked over.

His gaze fell on the plate, where there were two slices of bread, two lumps of dark, gooey star beast meat, and two bowls of water.

Seeing these simple and coarse foods, Shi Yu felt another pang of pain in his heart.

Chris comes from a wealthy family, and he is also very outstanding.

Now, in his search for him, he is imprisoned and suffers so much hardship.

These foods were a world apart from the sumptuous meals Chris had previously enjoyed.

The robotic insect turned its head, seemingly observing its surroundings.

Shi Yu's attention was drawn to the robot insect, and his eyes met itss. He remained relatively calm.

"Shi Yuxiong, what are you doing here?"

The robotic insect raised a question.

Upon hearing the cold, mechanical voice, Shi Yu shook his head, a blank expression on his face.

"I don't know either. I only remember going with Xiao Hei to see my godfather off, and then we were suddenly attacked by insects."

When I woke up, I found myself here. Where's Little Black? Is it alright?

The robot paused for two seconds.

"Little Black was taken away by the insects, and it will never come back."

Although the words were spoken by the robot insect, Shi Yu could sense the reluctance contained within them.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

So he sighed softly and pretended to be very sad.

"Did they catch those wretched bugs? Where are they locked up? I'm going to torture them and avenge Little Black!"

At this moment, the other two robotic insects also came over and greeted Shi Yu.

"There's an exact replica of Shi Yuxiong in the manor. Lord Robin sent him here. He can't grow vegetables, and he doesn't talk to us..."

"Shi Yuxiong, the potatoes in the field have sprouted. We're taking good care of them."

Shi Yu frowned slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he let out a sigh.

"It's dark and damp in here; staying here too long won't be good for your health. You should leave now!"

His voice was slightly low, revealing a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the robotic insect in front of him.

He continued, "I'm tough and resilient, so it doesn't matter if I eat poorly, wear less, or suffer a bit more."

"Once Lord Gaia calms down, he should let me out."

Seemingly wanting to prove himself, he immediately bent down to pick up the plate from the ground.

Just as his hand was about to touch the plate, a mechanical arm reached out and grabbed him tightly.

"Shi Yuxiong, please wait a moment. I will have Hei Wu bring you food and clothes right away."

Shi Yu abruptly pulled his hand back and sternly refused.

"How can that be? I'm in jail now and don't want to drag you down with me. From now on, you should just pretend you don't know me."

He bent down again and picked up the plate from the ground.

He muttered to himself, "If I can get out, I'll definitely find Little Black."

The straightforward yet shallow tea-related remarks deeply moved the robot bugs.

Just five minutes later, a robotic insect, as if on a mission, rushed over.

Shi Yu learned from the robotic insects that after Xiao Hei was taken away and destroyed, the robotic insects in the manor all gave themselves names: Black One, Black Two, Black Three, and so on.

The delivery robot, named Black Friday, was dressed in a snow-white shirt, paired with a custom-made black suit, and polished leather shoes, making him look exceptionally smart.

It pushes a food cart laden with exquisite dishes, emitting enticing aromas.

Red wine braised starfish meat, cheese baked potatoes, steamed deep-sea crayfish, fruit cake... these delicacies make insects' mouths water.

Shi Yu's throat bobbed slightly, and his voice was a little choked up.

"You guys are so kind to me."

Black Friday took off his clothes and handed them to Shi Yu.

"Shi Yuxiong, what else do you need? Just let me know."

"Sigh, you can't give me the freedom I want."

It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved by such timely help. Shi Yu accepted the clothes with tears in his eyes, feeling a warmth in his heart.

He turned around, his gaze falling on Chris, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and love.

Without hesitation, he turned around and draped his suit jacket over Chris.

"Trust me, I will definitely get you out of here."

These words were spoken with firmness and power, as if they were a promise, a vow.

"My lord, you are injured. The dungeon is cold and damp, please wear more clothes."

Chris's voice revealed concern as he raised his hand to pull down his suit jacket, only to be stopped by a hand with distinct knuckles.

He paused in pulling on his suit jacket, feeling the master's touch, and his heart trembled slightly.

The master's hands were a little cold. Chris looked up, his eyes almost overflowing with worry.
