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

The next morning, after Lu Yuan and Rhein got up, they washed up and ate breakfast. After finishing their nutrient solution, they lingered on the sofa for a while before Kamer came out of the room.

Kamel looked haggard. This was the first time in his life he had ever slept on the floor. He had tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep until almost dawn.

Lu Yuan handed a bag of intermediate-grade nutrient solution to Kamel. Looking at the intermediate-grade nutrient solution in his hand, Kamel curled his lip in disgust.

"Isn't there a better nutrient solution?"

Fearing that Rhine, as a female insect, might be hesitant to speak ill of Kamer, a male insect, Lu Yuan preemptively said, "No, this is the only nutrient solution we have at home."

Feeling hungry, Kamel had no choice but to hold his nose and drink.

Seeing that Kamel looked like he was drinking poison, Lu Yuan leaned close to Rhine's ear and whispered something.

"Intermediate nutrient solution doesn't taste this bad. Look at him, he's so spoiled."

"The male insects on the capital planet are like this: they generally don't drink nutrient solutions, and even if they must, they drink specially prepared ones," Rhine replied.

After finishing the nutrient solution, Kamel's face scrunched up. He thought the taste was absolutely awful and he needed to calm down.

"Why are you the only one who came out? Has His Highness the Crown Prince not gotten up yet?" Rhine asked.

"His Highness woke up briefly last night, but because of the intense pain from his wound, he kept crying out and couldn't be heard. I gave him a strong sedative injection, and he'll probably wake up in about ten days," Kamal said.

"It's been so long, doesn't he need to eat or drink?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

"With nutritional injections available, His Highness can receive them regularly."

Lu Yuan looked at Rhine and thought that this was, after all, the Crown Prince, and that it was a bit inappropriate to give him acupuncture like this, but Rhine did not say anything.

Since Rhine didn't say anything, Lu Yuan kept quiet.

"By the way, when can we leave this desolate planet?" Kamel asked Rhine.

"The spaceship that will pick us up will arrive in ten days."

Hearing that he would have to wait another ten days, Kamel's face turned pale, but he had no other choice but to continue hiding in Lu Yuan and Rhein's house.

Since they had to wait another ten days before they could leave, Lu Yuan and Rhine decided to take advantage of this time to replenish their supplies, and the two insects took turns going out to buy things.

After all, it takes a long time to get to the capital planet, and who knows what might happen along the way, so it's always good to have extra supplies.

The city of Mel was peaceful for the first few days, but on the fourth day, just as they were about to set off, chaos suddenly broke out in the city.

That day it happened to be Lu Yuan's turn to go out to buy things. He thought he would go to the water store to buy some more drinking water. He wasn't sure when he would be able to get to the capital star. Food was fine, but not enough water would not do.

Rhine somehow got hold of a spatial bag that could store a large number of items, so he stuffed it full of stuff.

"Lu Yuan, why did you close that 30-star-coin shop?"

Fortunately, there weren't many bugs in the water shop, so the shop owner started chatting with Lu Yuan.

"I'm not opening anymore. The competition in Mel City is too fierce, and the cost of living is too high. I'm planning to find another city to live in with my girlfriend."

As they were chatting, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Lu Yuan peeked out and saw a group of insects divided into several small teams, rushing into each shop one by one.

Before long, several insects rushed into Lu Yuan's shop. The leader of the insects called the boss over to talk, while the other insects ransacked the shop, making a mess of it. But the boss didn't dare to say anything.

"Besides you, are there any other insects here?" the leader of the insects asked.

The boss shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, I'm the only one running this shop now."

Have you seen any insects lately that you've never seen before but are very powerful?

The boss thought for a moment, then shook his head and said...

"No, the people who come to me to buy water are all regular customers who have lived in Mel City for quite a long time."

"Okay, then you should pay more attention in the future. If you see any strange insects, come to Mande Auction House and tell us anytime."

"Okay, okay."

The boss readily agreed.

The insects searched the shop for a while longer, but finding nothing, the female insect in the lead gave a signal, and the insects left. Before leaving, some insects even took a few bags of water. The shopkeeper watched with a bitter face, not daring to say anything.

After the insects left, Lu Yuan came over from the side. When they were searching, he had huddled in a corner. A few insects glanced at him, but seeing that he was a low-level male, they didn't pay any attention to him.

"What's going on here? Why such a big commotion?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Who knows? Something must have gone wrong," the boss replied.

Looking at the auction house thugs running rampant on the street, Lu Yuan had a bad feeling. He wondered if Rhine's scheme had been exposed.

As luck would have it, Lu Yuan spotted a familiar face on the street—a colleague who had a good relationship with Rhine.

"Meyer," Lu Yuan called out.

Hearing the sound, Meyer walked towards Lu Yuan.

"Hey, Lu Yuan, it's you! When Rhine resigned, didn't she say she'd leave Mel City with you and move to another city? Why haven't you left yet?"

"I still have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be leaving in a few days. By the way, Meyer, what happened? Such a big commotion gave me quite a fright."

Meyer hesitated for a moment, looked around, and pulled Lu Yuan aside.

"I'm only telling you this because of Rhine, so don't tell the other bugs."

"Don't worry, I won't tell." Lu Yuan nodded frantically.

"Yesterday, someone discovered that our auction house owner..."

Meyer made a throat-cutting gesture with his hand.

"The insects up there are furious. They've sent us all out to search for the culprit, house to house."

"So, have you found any clues?"

"There are no clues at all, but the two high-level male insects in the boss's house have also disappeared, and now we are searching for those two male insects all over the city."

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and Meyer continued.

"Go back and tell Rhine that if you two want to leave, you should leave quickly. I reckon that if things continue like this, the whole city might be placed under martial law, and then it won't be so easy for you and Rhine to leave."

"Okay, thank you."

After Meyer left, Lu Yuan rushed home and told Rhein what had happened.

Upon hearing that they were searching house to house for high-level male insects and that a citywide curfew might be imposed later, Kamer panicked.

"What should we do? If they find us, there's nowhere to hide here."

Rhine also had a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, Rhine said decisively, "Pack your things immediately, we're leaving tonight."

In the void of space, two groups of insects are engaged in a fierce battle, one group dressed in red robes and the other in black robes.
