D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan looked up blankly, then froze.

A huge, silver-white spaceship hovered in the air, casting its shadow over the entire junkyard.

A startled and angry voice came from somewhere.

"A garbage truck!!! Why is it coming at this time?"

Every few days, garbage trucks fly over the landfill to dump garbage, but the dumping times are fixed. Whenever a garbage truck is about to arrive, the insects living in the landfill will avoid it in advance.

The appearance of the garbage truck is good for the insects here, because it means there will be new cargo to scavenge. But its appearance while everyone else is still in the garbage dump is a deadly matter.

Lu Yuan was still in a daze, but Rhein reacted quickly. He grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and ran desperately towards the outside of the junkyard. A bunch of insects ran rapidly in the same direction with them.

Perhaps feeling that Lu Yuan was running too slowly, Rhine stopped halfway, carried Lu Yuan on his back, and then ran forward at twice the speed of before.

"drop--"

With a long beep, a large rectangular opening appeared at the bottom of the spaceship, and then, one dark figure after another fell out of the opening.

Several, dozens, hundreds, countless dark shadows of varying shapes and sizes fell one after another into the junkyard. These shadows were the garbage transported from other planets.

Some of this trash landed on garbage mountains, while some landed on the road. Each piece of trash that landed kicked up a cloud of dust.

Everyone ran even faster, but they also had to be careful to avoid falling trash as they ran. If they didn't dodge in time, they would be crushed to death on the spot by the falling trash.

With Rhein carrying Lu Yuan, they dodged left and right, finally managing to escape the junkyard.

After running to a place some distance from the garbage dump, Rhine put Lu Yuan down. Before the two insects could even catch their breath, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.

Rhine managed to stay upright, while Lu Yuan was shaken so badly that he fell to the ground.

The shaking lasted for more than ten seconds before it subsided, and then there was a loud rumble as a huge, bottomless crack appeared beneath Rhine's feet, several meters wide.

Rhine had no time to react; he plummeted straight down into the crevice.

Rhine instinctively tried to spread his wings and fly up, but there was no response from his back. He then realized that he could no longer extend his wings because of the suppression ring.

Rhine was unwilling to die like this, so he tried to insert his fingers into the rock wall to slow his fall, but he was falling too fast and could not insert them successfully.

Just as Rhine was frantically thinking of other ways to save his life, he suddenly stopped and felt his right hand being tightly gripped.

Rhine looked up and saw Lu Yuan, who was holding his right hand tightly with both hands.

Lu Yuan was clearly running out of strength. Not only was he unable to pull Rhine up immediately, but he was also being pulled towards the crevice by the force of Rhine's fall. Even so, Lu Yuan still held Rhine's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

Rhine stared blankly at Lu Yuan. At this moment, Lu Yuan's features were distorted and his face was contorted from exertion. His face was also covered in dust and sweat. Logically speaking, he was definitely not good-looking.

Rhine felt that he had never seen such a captivating face in all his life.

"Rhine, you, you have to step up your game too. I'm afraid, afraid we won't be able to hold on much longer."

Lu Yuan's face was covered in sweat, and he was panting as he spoke.

Rhine knew that Lu Yuan was not strong enough, so he quickly regained his senses, looked around, and searched for a way to save himself.

He first inserted his fingers into the rock wall as planned, to save Lu Yuan some effort. Then, after careful observation, he finally found a protrusion on the rock wall.

Rhein stepped on it without hesitation.

......

The moment Lu Yuan saw Rhine fall, he lunged forward without a second thought, and luckily managed to grab Rhine's right hand.

He gritted his teeth and held on tightly, constantly telling himself that he could not let go no matter what.

At first, Lu Yuan just felt very heavy and even had the leisure to mutter a comment to himself that Rhine should lose weight. Then, not long after, he felt pain.

As time passed, the pain intensified, and he seemed to hear a snap, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

Later, he felt as if someone was constantly cutting his hand with a knife. He endured it with all his might, with only one belief in his heart: he could not let go.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he finally felt the weight under his hands lighten a bit. Then Rhine first used his left hand to support himself up, followed by his right foot and then his left foot. Rhine finally managed to climb up.

"You scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a sharp pain surge through his arm, making his face contort in agony.

"Rhine, quick, help me out, knock me out, I can't stand the pain anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a blackout, and the excruciating pain subsided.

Rhine walked over, picked up Lu Yuan, and carried him home.

After arriving home, Rhine put Lu Yuan on the bed, tore open Lu Yuan's clothes, and found that Lu Yuan's shoulder was swollen and had large red bruises.

Such injuries are nothing to female insects, but for male insects, they would need to be taken to the medical bay immediately.

Unfortunately, there are no medical pods here, but fortunately, although male insects do not recover as well as female insects, as long as they can endure the pain, such injuries can heal on their own in three to five days.

Rhine stood by the bed, staring quietly at Lu Yuan. His gaze was initially scrutinizing, but after only a few seconds, it gradually softened.

He didn't know why Lu Yuan would risk his life to save him. Was it for money, for power, or simply because he had fallen in love with him?

But undeniably, when he saw Lu Yuan holding his hand tightly, his eyes only on him, many emotions he had never felt before welled up in his heart, such as warmth, excitement, and the hope that Lu Yuan would always have only him in his eyes.

Lu Yuan succeeded. He admitted that he had fallen in love with Lu Yuan. No matter what Lu Yuan's purpose was, whether he wanted money, power, or a beautiful and gentle queen, he could give it to Lu Yuan, as long as Lu Yuan maintained his preference for him.

Rhine was lost in his thoughts, but before long, his thoughts were interrupted by Lu Yuan's soft groan. Perhaps the pain was too intense, causing Lu Yuan to groan even in his unconscious state.

Rhine had no way to alleviate Lu Yuan's pain, so he could only gently wipe Lu Yuan's sweaty forehead, his gaze towards Lu Yuan becoming increasingly tender.

"Lu Yuan, I think I've really fallen for you. In that case, you can be my true and true lord."

"I like you the way you are now. You must never change. If one day you become as foolish as the other males and dare to betray me, then we'll both perish together. It's a promise, okay?"
