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

"In any case, these two are noble male insects. As a female insect, you can't just leave them on this desolate planet while you run away," Rhine said.

Bill was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Bill had nothing to say, Rhine spread his hands in front of Bill.

"Give me the spaceship key."

Bill hesitated for a moment, then took out a wrench-shaped key and handed it to Rhine.

After getting the key, Rhine led Lu Yuan and the other insects toward the spaceship.

Just as they were about to enter the spaceship, Bill, who was standing far behind, suddenly turned ferocious and roared.

"You should all die."

Immediately, a bomb flew towards the location where Lu Yuanji was.

In a flash, Rhine first shielded Lu Yuan by lunging to the side, then pinned Lu Yuan to the ground and lay on top of him to protect him.

With a loud bang, the spot where Lu Yuan and the other insects had been standing was instantly filled with smoke.

Once the smoke clears, check on the insects.

Lu Yuan was fine; he was protected by Rhine so well that he didn't even have a scratch. Rhine was also alright; although her back was a bloody mess, the wounds were visibly healing quickly.

Kamer escaped with his life. Although he couldn't escape quickly, the Crown Prince on his back shielded him from most of the damage, even though the Crown Prince himself probably didn't want to do so.

As for the poor Crown Prince, who was still asleep, he was almost blown into a bloody worm, his breathing was very weak, and he looked like he was about to die.

Rhine narrowed his eyes, immediately stood up and rushed towards Bill, and started fighting with him.

On the other side, Lu Yuan ran to the Crown Prince's side, trying to save the dying Crown Prince together with Kamel.

Unfortunately, even though the two insects used every medicine and method they could think of, it still didn't work, and the crown prince still died.

Seeing that the Crown Prince was dead, Bill found an opportunity to create an opening between himself and Rhine. He then gave Rhine a triumphant smile, drew his lightsaber, and without hesitation, severed his own head with a single stroke.

All of this happened very quickly. By the time Rhine rushed to Bill's side, Bill's head had already rolled twice on the ground.

Rhine returned to Lu Yuan's side, and the three insects stared silently at the Crown Prince's corpse on the ground for a while.

"Rhine, the Crown Prince died here, so can we still return to the capital planet?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yes," Rhine replied.

......

It was the same secret room, and the same two insects, one standing and one kneeling.

"You're saying the Crown Prince is dead?" the standing insect asked.

"Yes, Bill watched the Crown Prince die before he died."

"Well done. The Crown Prince is dead, and our opportunity has arrived."

"Yes, and although the Crown Prince is dead, the three insects who were with him are unharmed. Do you think we should continue to send insects to hunt them down?"

The standing insect lowered its head and thought for a while.

"Forget it, we've already lost a lot of our insects while chasing down the Crown Prince. Even Bill, whom we managed to turn against us, is gone. The losses are too great. Let's let them go for now. They're lucky to be alive."

"Yes, ma'am."

......

Three months later, a small spaceship arrived outside the capital planet.

Lu Yuan sat inside the spaceship, calmly looking out at the boundless universe. He was incredibly impressed by the view when he first saw it, but after three months, he was able to face it with equanimity.

Rhine piloted the spaceship smoothly through the universe, eventually coming to rest in a small port.

A luxurious aircraft was already parked on the ground in the port, and standing outside the aircraft was a tall and imposing insect dressed as a butler.

Rhine maneuvered the spaceship to a slow descent, and only lowered the ladder after it had come to a complete stop.

The ladder was lowered, and a figure sitting behind Lu Yuan and Rhine stood up and walked towards the door.

As the sunlight shone down, the insect that stepped out of the spaceship had a head of golden hair and an angelic, perfect face—it was none other than the Crown Prince's face.

As the Crown Prince stepped out of the spaceship, the butler who was waiting on the ground bowed and knelt on one knee to greet him.

Looking at this scene and thinking about what had happened recently, Lu Yuan had mixed feelings.

Three months ago, after the Crown Prince died, they still boarded the spaceship and headed towards the capital planet, taking the Crown Prince's body with them.

Fortunately, for some reason, the spaceship was equipped with freezers that could be used to store corpses, so they didn't have to worry about the storage of the bodies.

Lu Yuan was very worried that Rhine would be punished for failing the mission when she returned. Fines were a minor matter, but she couldn't bear the thought of any physical punishment.

Therefore, Lu Yuan kept subtly probing Rhein on the spaceship, trying to find out what kind of treatment Rhein would receive after returning.

No matter how Lu Yuan asked, Rhine only said one thing to reassure him: he wouldn't be punished.

Lu Yuan didn't believe it at all and was worried all day long.

The journey back to the capital planet was very peaceful, as if the pursuit they had encountered on the desolate planet had never happened.

As they approached the capital planet, one day, Rhine suddenly said to Camel, "Your Highness, we are almost there. We are now within the Crown Prince's control, so you no longer need to worry about safety."

Lu Yuan looked at Kamel in bewilderment. Kamel's expression changed instantly after hearing Rhine's words. Then, Lu Yuan watched as Kamel tore off his face. It turned out that Kamel was also wearing a realistic mask.

Then the Crown Prince's face reappeared before everyone.

"How did you guess?" asked Camel, no, the Crown Prince.

"As I said before, your personality is really very different from Camer's."

The Crown Prince snorted coldly and didn't investigate further. He walked to the freezer where the corpses were stored, removed the mask from the corpse's face, and sure enough, it was Kamel's face underneath.

It turns out that after being captured by space pirates three years ago, the Crown Prince suspected that Kamel was deliberately trying to harm him.

So he carefully hid all the self-defense tools he carried with him and waited quietly for his chance.

After learning that he and Kamel had been sold to Rao, and having also heard about Rao's penchant for abusing high-ranking male insects, he managed to subdue Kamel before being sent to Rao's house.

He then cut off Kamel's tongue and used a mask to switch the identities of the two insects.

Then Camel took Rao's abuse upon himself, while he waited for the Empire's rescue on the desolate planet.

After meeting Rhine, because he was not familiar with Rhine and was worried that insects would come to kill him on the way to escape, the Crown Prince did not tell Rhine his true identity at first, but instead let Camel continue to be his target.

As it turned out, his choice was correct.

Kamel died, but he finally returned to the capital planet alive.
