The 30-star coin shop in Luyuan is doing very well. With its super low prices, even though it's only open for five hours a day, from 5 pm to 10 pm, customers are still flocking in.

Lu Yuan estimated that, based on this trend, the first month's profit would cover the rent, and he could even make a small profit.

Logically, with things going so smoothly, Lu Yuan should be riding high these days, but he isn't. He's been quite troubled lately because his wife, Rhine, has been working an unusually large amount of work lately, often having to work overtime.

......

One o'clock in the morning, inside the Mande Auction House.

Rhein and his colleague Meyer were patrolling inside the auction house when they reached a secluded spot. Rhein turned to Meyer and said something.

"Excuse me, something's come up at home and I have to leave. Could you cover for me?"

"No problem, you can go now."

Meyer readily agreed. Although it was indeed quite upsetting for his partner to run away midway through the work, Rhine Bug was a good guy who never forgot to share any benefits with him. He had often covered for him when he was in trouble before, so naturally he would help him now.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to some nutritional supplements another day."

After leaving the auction house, Rhine walked a distance, put on a black robe, and then ran down the road.

About twenty minutes later, Rhine arrived at the outside of a villa, where insects could be vaguely seen patrolling the yard.

After observing from outside for a while and confirming that there were no protective devices such as mechanical insects or laser grids inside the villa, Rhine decisively sneaked into the villa's yard.

It was the early morning when the insects were most sleepy. The patrolling insects seemed a bit careless and kept yawning. Rhine skillfully avoided these insects, climbed up the villa's outer wall, and finally stopped on a balcony.

Just as I was about to enter the villa from the balcony, a discordant sound suddenly came from the room connected to the balcony.

Rhine paused, never expecting his luck to be "so good," but jumping to other places now would be too noisy, so he had no choice but to squat down and wait quietly.

Once everything was over, the lights in the room came on. Rhine moved herself into the darkness and then cautiously peered into the room.

This is a luxuriously decorated bedroom. A bald female insect is lying on the bed, tightly holding a petite and beautiful male insect in her arms.

"Male master, please give me some mental soothing," said the bald female insect.

"Your mental sea isn't in turmoil, so why are you using your mental energy to soothe it?" The male insect's tone was impatient.

The bald female insect sat up, looked at the male insect for a while, and then slapped him hard, so hard that the male insect rolled off the bed onto the floor.

The male insect sat on the ground, covering its face, its entire face filled with anger. Rhine felt that the male insect was about to start cursing at her, but for some reason, the male insect actually held back and didn't say a word.

The bald female insect got off the bed and walked in front of the male insect.

"I've been in a good mood lately, so I'll call you 'Lord' a couple of times to appease you, and you're already acting like a brat again. You've forgotten who you are and think you're still on the capital planet, haven't you?"

"I'll tell you again, this is a desolate planet. You're just a male insect I bought. You do whatever I tell you to do, or I'll sell you and get a more obedient one in return. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The male insect said this through gritted teeth, but the bald female insect didn't care. She sat back on the bed and beckoned to the male insect.

The male insect obediently returned to the bed and began to soothe the bald female insect with his mental energy.

After the soothing was over, the bald female insect left the room. As soon as she left, the male insect immediately got off the bed and smashed everything in the room to pieces.

The male insect's pretty little face was now twisted like a demon from hell, as he smashed things and cursed with all his might.

"No female insect has ever dared to treat me like this. When I return to the capital planet, I will make sure that the Xiongbao Society kills this female insect. Not only will I kill her, but I will also make her experience all kinds of torture."

"Why haven't those useless female insects from the capital planet come to rescue me yet? They've let me stay on this desolate planet for so long. They're all useless, utterly useless."

"It's all Carmel's fault. If he hadn't been so stupid as to suggest that we go on a trip in disguise, I would still be enjoying the service of female insects in the manor. I wouldn't be in this state now."

"It's been so long since any insects have come. Could it be that the capital planet has given up on us? No, no, our families won't agree. We're not just commoner male insects; we're noble male insects. Those useless military females must have just chosen the wrong place."

After venting his frustrations, the male insect finally got tired and lay back down on the bed.

After the male insect fell asleep, Rhine quietly sneaked into the bedroom. He first glared disdainfully at the male insect on the bed, then took out a button, and after some manipulation, a thin needle extended from the bottom of the button.

Rhine inserted a thin needle into the male insect's arm, and soon the male insect's breathing became slow and deep.

Rhine roughly flipped the male insect over, and found the brand mark X238 on the back of its neck.

Once she realized that the insect in front of her was not the male she was looking for, Rhine left the villa.

Rhine ran to an open space and took out a piece of paper. The paper listed twenty-five transaction records, including the item number, transaction time, buyer code, etc., and there was also manually added buyer identity information at the end.

Rhein put an X before the message starting with X238. Now there are twenty-three X's on the paper, leaving only two messages without any markings. Ironically, the buyer's specific identity information is blank after these two messages.

The item number column at the very beginning of these two pieces of information reads X234 and X235 respectively.

......

When Rhine got home, it was already four in the morning. Because he had some secret things to do recently and didn't want Lu Yuan to find out, he had to use working overtime as an excuse to ask Lu Yuan not to pick him up for the time being.

Rhine gently opened the door to her home, only to be surprised to find the living room lights on.

"You're back. Why are you so late again today? You've been working overtime way too often."

Lu Yuan sat up from the sofa, rubbing his eyes as he spoke.

"My lord, why aren't you sleeping in bed?"

"I was planning to sit on the sofa and wait for you to come back, but I accidentally fell asleep."

"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? My get off work hours are unpredictable now, so don't stay up with me."

"But I want to wait for you," Lu Yuan said while yawning.

One sentence made the entire Rhine insect soften.

When Rhine finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, Lu Yuan was already asleep in bed. But as soon as Rhine got into bed, Lu Yuan seemed to have an automatic positioning system installed and leaned against Rhine.

Rhine also hugged Lu Yuan and closed his eyes, letting those troubling things leave him for the time being.
