After being transformed into a random male beetle

Outside the room, Garcia caught up with the doctor and asked, "I wanted to ask, is the Admiral alright now?"

The group of medical professionals stopped in their tracks: "There's nothing wrong for now, but we'll need to observe them for a few more days."

"Okay, okay, is there anything I need to be careful about during this period?"

"Well, there's nothing special to be careful about. Just be careful that if you're feeling full, you can only take nutritional supplements for now. You can't eat anything else for the time being."

"Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's what we should do," the doctor said with a smile, then left with the insect.

Brisak leaned against the wall and waited for them to finish talking. After the doctor walked away, he went up to Garcia and pulled him into a corner.

"Hey, Brisak, why did you drag me here? Let go! Did you hear me?" Garcia exclaimed anxiously.

"I heard you," Brisak replied lazily, but his hands didn't stop moving.

Reaching the corner, Brisak released his grip and asked, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

"What?" Garcia asked, puzzled.

Brisak reminded him, "On a desolate planet."

"I, I..." Garcia suddenly became hesitant.

"What, you, a general's adjutant, are you trying to renege on your promise?" Brisak laughed.

"No! How could I possibly cheat!"

"So what have you thought about it? Now that the general is awake, do you still want to pretend to be the same way you were before?"

"I—" Garcia felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He suddenly pointed to one side, "Look, there are bugs coming over there!"

Brisak turned his head away, and Garcia took the opportunity to run off in another direction.

Watching Garcia's panicked retreating figure, Brisak pressed his chin hard against his chest and chuckled softly.

Meanwhile, Garcia returned to his hospital room.

"General, where is Xi Yunxiong?"

Garcia, noticing the male insect was not there, asked in a low voice.

"I told him to go eat first." Edvy sat up in bed and pointed to a seat for Garcia. "Sit down."

"Yes, thank you, General." Garcia sat up straight.

"Tell me what exactly happened?"

Edvy's thoughts were in disarray. Looking at the layout of the room and the few medical insects, if he remembered correctly, he was currently in the center of the First Expeditionary Force base.

"General, we were attacked by an unknown force on our way back from exterminating the alien beasts. After several days of investigation, we have confirmed that it was the work of space pirates..."

Then, the general fell into the black hole while trying to save them, and the aircraft he and Brisak were piloting was also tampered with by the insects.

The situation was urgent, and they were forced to land on an undeveloped planet, where they remained for two weeks before being found by the insects.

Whenever that planet was mentioned, Garcia couldn't help but recall those two weeks, and his voice gradually weakened.

"What discoveries did you and Brisak make on that planet?"

"Nothing else was found," Garcia said, regaining his composure.

"How did I end up here?"

"It was Xi Yunxiong who brought you here."

"Xi Yun Xiongzi?"

"Yes, it was only a few days after Brisak and I were found that Xi Yunxiong brought you to the center of the First Garrison."

It's called the First Far Garrison's headquarters, but in reality, the headquarters is full of their Seventh Far Garrison's spies.

In exchange, the First Far Garrison was sent to quell female uprisings in various star systems.

At that time, Garcia was planning to secretly lead the bug to wipe out the pirate group that had attacked them.

Then I heard a report from an insect that a male insect named Xi Yun had come outside.

When he first heard the name, he thought he had misheard. But when he met Xi Yunxiong, Garcia looked at the haggard-looking male insect standing next to the aircraft and almost fainted on the spot.

No one knows how the general, the powerful ruler, managed to bypass the numerous identity checks to get here, and how he even brought the long-lost general with him.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Xi Yunxiong saved General Edwin.

Because male insects are scarce, the Empire secretly restricts their activity areas to avoid unforeseen harm, prohibiting them from venturing into remote star systems, especially near the Empire's borders. The more remote the system, the greater the danger for the male insects.

During the past two weeks, Xi Yun disguised herself as a female insect working in a remote star system, traveling on an old starship without any information verification procedures.

From the perspective of outsiders, although remote star systems are geographically isolated and poorly managed, there are indeed many high-paying jobs there, paid daily. The only downside is that these jobs involve a degree of risk and have a high degree of danger, but such jobs have become less common in recent years.

Although Xi Yunxiong is currently doing well, if other insects discover that he is staying in the center of the colony, they will definitely face dire consequences and end up behind bars.

"How long was I unconscious?"

"Five days," Garcia replied.

Five days, plus the time he disappeared, it's been almost a month.

"By the way, has anything important happened on Central Star recently?"

"Yes, Tutwa Xiongzi was arrested for committing a crime and was recently sentenced by the court. Also, there have been frequent uprisings in various places recently, with slogans such as 'Oppose oppression and improve the status of female insects,' but His Majesty has suppressed them all."

After hearing about the uprising, Edwin paused for a moment, then asked, "That's it?"

That's all.

"Go and rest first," Edvy said, issuing the order to leave.

"Yes."

Just as Garcia was about to open the door and leave, Xi Yun came in from outside.

"Xi Yunxiongzi."

Xi Yun nodded, greeted them, and walked towards the hospital bed.

Garcia, sensing the danger, closed the door and left.

The large room immediately fell silent, and Xi Yun walked up and took Edwin's hand.

"Are you feeling better?"

Perhaps because they had been lying in the treatment pod, their hands were cold, like a piece of jade.

"Why is it so cold?"

Xi Yun frowned, pulled Edvi's hands together and covered them, trying to transfer some heat to him.

"It's nothing serious." The intense heat made Edvy feel rather uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't move. I'll cover it for a while longer." Xi Yun pressed down on the other person's hand, which was trying to pull it back.

LOL, how could he possibly let this chance to touch her hand slip away?

"Are you hungry?" Xi Yun looked up at him.

When Edvy woke up, it was already dark outside. He had been lying in the treatment pod without receiving any energy replenishment.

He had just gone to ask the doctor, and they said that Edvi could drink some nutritional supplements to fill his stomach.

Xi Yun covered the other person's hand, waiting for a reply, but Edwin remained silent.

"Hmm?" Xi Yun pinched the other person's index finger.

Edwin nodded slowly, his voice soft: "I'm a little hungry."

Upon hearing the insect speak, Xi Yun released his grip and pulled out a handful of colorful nutrient solutions from behind him.

"What flavor do you like? We have it all, take your time to choose."

Edvy's eyes were glazed over.

There were many flavors he liked among them, and Edwin couldn't make up his mind. He looked up at Xi Yun.

"Choose your favorite, and we'll choose other flavors tomorrow," Xi Yun said gently, like a warm breeze.

With the male insect's words, Edvi secretly rejoiced and picked out an apple-flavored nutrient solution from a pile of nutrients, his eyes shining with an irrepressible light.

Seeing that Edvy had chosen his preferred flavor, Xi Yun put away the other nutritional supplements.
