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

Just as Rhine had expected, after he called Dorian and told him that he had intervened to save them, Dorian immediately looked at him with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.

"Rhine, thank you so much. Although I know you are much better than me now, if you ever encounter any problems in the future that I can help you with, please contact me anytime and give me a chance to repay you," Dorian said.

Rhine smiled slightly and said, "I do have something I need your help with right now."

"you say."

Rhein didn't get straight to the point, but instead asked another question first.

"Dorian, how is your mental state now?"

In fact, Dorian's current condition looks much better than before. His complexion is rosier, and he has gained some weight. He looks more and more like the Dorian that Rhine remembers.

However, the state of one's mental sea should be confirmed with this insect for the most accurate information.

Dorian did not give a simple answer to the question; he thought about it carefully before speaking.

"My mental sea is definitely much better than before. Now the lord is giving me mental soothing every day. Although there are still cracks in my mental sea, I feel that my strength has recovered to the level when I was about to be promoted to legion commander."

Rhine considered it for a moment and realized that when he was about to be promoted to legion commander, that would be about the peak of Dorian's career.

In the previous war that he deliberately provoked, he took the opportunity to kill many evolved brain worms.

The Cerebrate's reproduction rate is not as fast as other Araqi insectoids to begin with, and the evolved Cerebrate will only find it more difficult to reproduce.

Therefore, even if the Arachnids launch an attack in the near future, those evolved cerebrates should not appear.

As long as there is no evolved cerebrate, Dorian should not have any problem dealing with it given his current strength.

Don't get me wrong, Rhine wasn't worried about Dorian. He was just worried that if Dorian's mental state wasn't good, and he chose the wrong insect, causing problems on the front line, then he would suffer a huge loss.

Fortunately, Dorian's answer satisfied him.

Now that Dorian's strength and condition have met Rhine's requirements, Rhine can proceed with the next steps.

"Dorian, I have some family matters to attend to and need to go back, but I'm worried that the Araqi insectoids might launch an attack while I'm away. So I need an insectoid to take my place in the Tenth Army and guard against any possible attacks."

Dorian understood what Rhine meant.

"Leave it to me. I'll head back to the base right away. I can handle a few Araqi insectoids now, so don't worry. I guarantee the front line will be fine while you're gone," Dorian said confidently.

Rhine nodded, but just as he was about to hang up, Dorian stopped him.

After stopping him, Dorian didn't follow up. He didn't say anything, but his expression was hesitant.

"Dorian, what's wrong?" Rhine asked.

"Um, um..."

After hesitating for a long time, Dorian finally mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say.

"Rhine, I'm sorry. Back in the capital planet, I misunderstood you. I thought you were a selfish bug, so I wasn't very nice to you."

"But through what has happened during this time, I have discovered that you are actually a kind-hearted person. I want to apologize for my previous misunderstandings and prejudices against you," Dorian said sincerely.

Rhine: ......

Then, the "kind-hearted" Rhine accepted Dorian's apology without batting an eye.

......

Then Dorian rushed back to the base. After Rhine personally confirmed that Dorian's strength was indeed not a problem, he left the base with peace of mind and returned to Golan Star.

On the way back to Golan Star, Rhine felt like she had forgotten to tell Lu Yuan something.

Rhine sat in the spaceship returning to Golan Star, his arms crossed over his chest, trying to recall what he had forgotten.

After thinking for a long time, Rhine still couldn't remember. He'd been too busy lately, and his memory had gotten a bit worse.

In the end, Rhine gave up on recalling. He thought, "Forget it. I'll see Lu Yuan soon anyway. Maybe I'll remember when I see Lu Yuan."

What Rhine forgot was that he didn't remind Lu Yuan that he was now granted a powerful title with a fief, so many insects would likely come looking for him.

It was also because Rhine forgot to remind him that Lu Yuan was caught off guard by a barrage of phone calls.

......

In fact, after receiving the Duke's letter of appointment, Lu Yuan knew that this time was different from the last.

Last time, he was granted the title of Earl, but it was just a nominal title with no real power; it was just a nice-sounding title. So naturally, nothing happened afterward.

But this time it's different. This time he's been granted a dukedom with a fief, so he'll definitely have work to do afterwards.

However, Lu Yuan had no idea what he would have to do after becoming a duke. Fortunately, Rhine said she would come back to help him as soon as possible, so Lu Yuan stayed at home and waited for Rhine to return.

But he never expected things to happen so quickly.

The day after receiving the appointment letter, Lu Yuan was happily preparing to go to work as usual, but as soon as he boarded the aircraft, his communicator malfunctioned, and calls kept coming in, the phone ringing incessantly.

Various insects, both acquaintances and strangers, used their unique abilities to obtain Lu Yuan's contact information and then called him.

Among these insects are the highest-ranking officers of various planets within the Arach defense line. Under the guise of requesting instructions, they want to make a prior appointment with their superior, Lu Yuan, and cultivate a good relationship.

Some of them were other nobles near the Arach defense line who wanted to invite Lu Yuan, this newly rich man, to a banquet, and also to find out about Lu Yuan's situation.

There were also some self-proclaimed talented but underappreciated individuals who wanted to volunteer to become Lu Yuan's subordinates, since Lu Yuan would have many things to handle in the future and would definitely need many subordinates.

When Lu Yuan received these calls, he was completely stunned.

Then, Lu Yuan, of course, couldn't go to work. He took the communicator back home, sat on the sofa, and stared blankly at the constantly ringing communicator, completely unsure of how to deal with it.

This is also because Rhine has always protected Lu Yuan too well. Knowing that Lu Yuan doesn't like to socialize with unfamiliar insects, Rhine stands in front of Lu Yuan so that Lu Yuan can stay at home and live the little life he likes.

However, there are both advantages and disadvantages to doing this.

The advantage was that Rhine allowed Lu Yuan to live the life he wanted, without having to do anything he didn't want to do, and he was happy every day.

The downside is that Lu Yuan hasn't grown much over the years, and when he suddenly rises to a high position and encounters problems on his own, he doesn't know how to deal with them.

Fortunately, just as Lu Yuan's eyes were about to turn into mosquito coils, the door opened and Rhine returned.
