After being transformed into a random male beetle

The wedding banquet ended very quickly.

Xi Yun was in a good mood when he left the manor, but Edwin had been silent ever since he returned from his trip with Marshal Berlan.

The night breeze was cool, like the temperature before sunrise, a bit chilly.

After saying goodbye to Aaron and Hillsevier, the two insects walked towards the parking area.

Edvi raised his eyebrows to look at the male insect walking in front of him. The other was dressed in a black suit that seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, except for his flawless neck at the collar, which was very eye-catching.

He rubbed his fingertips together, his palms still feeling a burning sensation.

"Edward, why do you seem so absent-minded? Did something happen?" At the banquet, the male insect's caring voice shielded him from the surrounding noise, and the other's hand grasped his.

Edvi's thoughts drifted.

"Edward, Edward?" Xi Yun turned around and found his lord was lost in thought. He waved his hand in front of Edward's face.

"Hmm?" Edvi snapped out of his daze and looked at the male insect's gentle, watery eyes with a puzzled expression.

"You seem a little distracted. Did Ms. Beren say something to you just now?" Xi Yun smiled, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Remember to watch where you're going, or you might fall."

Upon hearing this, Edwin nodded, pulling his wandering thoughts back.

Seeing the serious expression on the female ruler's face after listening, Xi Yun took Edwin's hand and said softly, "I'll hold your hand, let's go back slowly."

As he spoke, he slowed down his pace.

In the darkness, Xi Yun's face shone like jade under the lamplight, like the moon casting a veil, blurring Edwin's judgment.

Those dark eyes, flowing like a galaxy, entered my mind and lingered there.

When they got home, the living room was still lit by a small, warm-toned lamp that Xiao Jin had left on for them, just like always.

Xi Yun turned on the headlights and poured warm water for herself and Edwin.

He sat down on the sofa at eye level with Edvy and handed him a glass of water: "Edvy, what have you been thinking about? Can you tell me?"

Xi Yun paused again, then added, "Of course, if the content is something that can't be said, then I won't say it."

Edwin quietly looked at Xi Yun and shook his head: "There's nothing I can't say. It's just that I received orders from above to send me to the front lines."

After speaking, Edvi lowered his eyes, holding the cup he had just received from the male insect.

If the male insect disagrees with him going, then he should go secretly by himself and apologize to the male insect when he returns.

Although Edvy had a gut feeling that Xi Yun wouldn't do that, he still silently drafted hundreds of reasons in his mind, preparing to tell the male insect later.

Xi Yun was visibly stunned after hearing this.

He had already foreseen this day when he first saw Edvy's title, but he just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Time seemed to be paused, and the air became stagnant.

After a long pause, Xi Yun's throat went dry, and he hesitated before asking, "When are we leaving? Has the return date been set?"

"I'm leaving the night after tomorrow." Edvy gripped his water glass tightly, as if drawing strength from it, thinking about what he was about to say. "My return date is uncertain."

Finally, Edvy added hastily, "But I probably won't stay for too long."

Xi Yun didn't speak, but her gaze never left Edvi.

"You don't..." The male insect's burning gaze made Edvi involuntarily speak.

"That's good." Xi Yun accidentally interrupted the female ruler.

"What?" Edwin stared blankly at Xi Yun.

Seeing Edwin's stunned expression, Xi Yun smiled and said, "I think this is a good thing."

"Aren't you going to stop me?"

How could male insects think this is a good thing? They only think about who will take care of them after the female insects go out on missions.

"Why would I stop you?" Xi Yun retorted gently. "You're going to the front lines to protect the empire. It's both your duty and your honor. I have no reason to stop your choice. And I'll be proud of you too."

Xi Yun gazed at Edvi with genuine sincerity in his eyes.

The temperature in the room seemed to rise after the male insect finished speaking, and the atmosphere became gentle, like a warm milk tea for the insect's stomach on a winter's day.

Edwin and Xi Yun looked at each other, and in their hearts, they seemed to hear the sound of glaciers melting into streams.

Suddenly, a fleeting smile appeared on Edwin's face, like a spring day breaking out.

Xi Yun was captivated by the female ruler and started laughing foolishly along with her.

After laughing, he started to resent his own behavior.

Like a silly goose, I seem to have become a bit childish since I got my empress!?

But Edwin's smile just now was really beautiful, as stunning and dazzling as the starry sky he used to see through a telescope.

Edvy quietly watched the male insect beside him, who was deep in thought, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.

*

In the vast expanse of space, a starship with patches of all sizes and in stealth mode was parked in one place.

In the starship's control room, Deft stared at the empty flight path before him, stretching lazily in his chair, muttering, "It's almost time, why hasn't that cargo arrived yet?"

"Hey, second brother, do you think they ran out of power halfway through the drive?"

"How could that be?" Borel chuckled, glancing at the red-haired creature peeking out from the back of the chair in front of him, looking as listless as its master insect.

The goods they were trying to seize this time were a batch of military supplies, and the cargo ship was heading from the central star to the front line.

Cargo ships like these are usually escorted by several small teams. Due to the long distances involved in the transport, the cargo ships are replenished with the energy and supplies they need on planets along the way, and they usually arrive at the supply stations on time.

According to the information they received, the cargo ship would be passing through their current route soon, so they came here early to wait.

Upon hearing Borel's words, Defetra let out a long "ah," and the insect slumped into the chair as if it had no bones.

Whose bugs are still up so late?

Hopefully this cargo ship will arrive soon so he can finish looting and get some rest.

Fortunately, the Insect God quickly heard his inner call, and the cargo ship arrived in the next second.

"Let me go rob it this time, you stay here." Defit pressed down on the second son and excitedly went to call the bug.

Borell, who was forced to remain in the control room, subconsciously checked the time; it was fifteen minutes earlier than the cargo ship's passing time.

Something seems amiss, but at this moment, a cargo ship that meets the criteria has indeed appeared on this route, and no other starships are traveling along this route during this period.

Borel considered that with the equipment they had brought, they would have no problem looting and escaping, so he let the third brother go.
