Because the matter of Rhine's previous crime on the capital planet has not been resolved, and the Xiongbao Association is still after him, it is inconvenient for him to go out during this period.

Since it was inconvenient for Rhine to go out, Lu Yuan naturally stayed with her at the villa, as there were many things to do there anyway.

Although the villa was fully furnished with basic furniture, Lu Yuan and Rhine still needed to add some everyday items according to their own preferences, such as bed sheets, duvet covers, sofa cushions, tablecloths, placemats, tissue boxes, etc.

Anyway, online shopping is very convenient here, and everything is delivered to your door.

They also bought a chores robot. Although they already have a smart home assistant, which means the two worms don't have to worry about many chores, the addition of the chores robot can solve the last-minute chores problem.

For example, tasks like putting tableware from the dining table into the dishwasher or clothes into the washing machine will no longer need to be done by the two worms; they can all be handed over to the housekeeping robot, allowing the two worms to completely relinquish their responsibilities at home.

The newly purchased household robot is very advanced in function, but its design is very retro. Although it has facial features, a torso, and limbs, it is obviously a machine.

Actually, what's popular in the Empire now are simulated robotic insects. They look almost exactly like real insects, and they're all made very beautifully. Some even have added elements like animal ears and tails.

When it came time to make the purchase, Rhein naturally skipped the page for the simulated robotic insect. Lu Yuan didn't dare to say anything or ask anything, and just silently selected the model on the page provided by Rhein.

Besides shopping sprees, Lu Yuan's daily mental reassurance of Rhine has also been restored.

The battle on the desolate planet had added several cracks to Rhine's mental sea. Lu Yuan worked hard to repair the cracks every day, and also unlocked many new poses and scenes along the way.

The two insects lived fulfilling lives every day, and the villa gradually transformed from an ordinary house into their home.

Eight days later, a flying vehicle arrived at the palace and took Rhine away, saying that the eldest prince wanted to see him.

When Rhine met the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was reviewing documents with his head down. Rhine first bowed and greeted him.

"Your Highness, the First Prince."

The eldest prince raised his head and said with a smile.

"Rhine, you've arrived. Franz's safe return is all thanks to you. On behalf of both His Majesties, I express my gratitude to you."

"This is what I should do."

After exchanging pleasantries, the eldest prince got down to business.

"I am currently negotiating with the Xiongbao Association regarding your case. It is estimated that within half a month at the latest, the military and the Xiongbao Association will jointly issue a statement pointing out that the things you did before were all in order to carry out the military's mission to crack down on the Mande Auction House, and the Xiongbao Association will drop all charges against you."

"A mission to strike at Mande Auction House? Why would you use such an excuse?" Rhine asked.

"Because this mission was really coming, Franz hated the Mande Auction House. He asked the Insect King to send an army to destroy the Mande Auction House and the pirate group behind it. The Insect King agreed."

Rhine thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was quite vindictive, but he didn't care what excuse he used; he was more concerned with his own interests.

"Your Highness, then everything will be back in half a month, right?"

"Yes, your position, property, and honors will all return to you; this is one of my promises to you."

Rhine smiled with satisfaction.

However, the eldest prince was not at ease. He thought of the troublesome Xiong Baohui and rubbed his temples with a headache.

"It shouldn't have taken more than half a month, but Charlie, the president of the Xiongbao Association, seems to have a problem with you. He's been relentlessly pursuing you like a hyena. What did you do to offend him?"

"He's probably angry because I didn't fall for him."

The eldest prince was speechless at this self-important male insect.

"Rhine, you too. I told you to find a way to make a mistake so that Xiongbao would send you to a desolate planet, but of all the male insects you could have chosen, you had to pick Song Mo. Even though he's a commoner male insect, he's an S-rank insect, and you still injured him so badly, making things so difficult to handle."

Rhine remained silent; he couldn't explain it, because he had done it on purpose.

Song Mo had promised to make him the female ruler, but when he encountered a more powerful female insect, he wanted to break his promise.

Not only did she break her promise, but she also coveted his resources and wealth, and even dreamed of marrying him as her concubine.

It's ridiculous that Song Mo actually thought he couldn't live without him.

How could Rhein Hatton possibly swallow this insult? Song Mo dared to humiliate him like this, so he would take Song Mo's life. Anyway, Song Mo had sworn an oath to him that if he dared to break his promise, he would do whatever he wanted with him.

When the eldest prince assigned him the task, he had already planned to take this opportunity to kill Song Mo.

Anyway, as long as he rescues the Crown Prince, the royal family will naturally have to clean up this mess for him.

Unfortunately, Song Mo was incredibly lucky. Even though he was flying his aircraft and crashing directly into Song Mo, Song Mo still survived, albeit with serious injuries.

He missed such a good opportunity, and it would be really hard to find another one like it in the future, but he definitely wouldn't let Song Mo go.

Seeing that Rhine remained silent, the Crown Prince did not press the matter further. Since things had already come to this, there was no point in asking any more questions.

The eldest prince took a list from the drawer and handed it to Rhine.

"This is the second promise I made to you before. Take a look and see if it suits your taste."

When Rhine opened it, the list consisted entirely of male insects, along with their rank, family information, and details about the female insects in their homes.

"I promised you I'd find you a high-level, easy-to-control male insect that you could use as a queen. This is a list of male insects that meet those criteria. But I heard from Lex that you brought back a male insect. What happened?"

Rhein glanced at the list and closed it.

"That male insect is my master, I don't need this list anymore, and I'm giving up the second promise."

The eldest prince frowned.

"Your male lord? But I heard from Lex that the male insect's level should be very low."

"Yes, he's a D-rank."

"D-rank? Are you crazy? He wouldn't happen to be the male insect that the Male Protection Association forced you to match with, would he?"

Rhine nodded.

"Why did you bring him back? Didn't I say that Xiongbao would get your marriage registration information? I'll find a way to cancel it for you," the eldest prince said.

"No need to cancel, he is now my true master."

"You let him touch you?" the eldest prince asked.

It's important to know that the fighting strength of male and female insects differs greatly, and under normal circumstances, male insects cannot force female insects to mate.

"Yes." Rhine nodded again.

The eldest prince raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, unable to understand how things had turned out this way. His capable subordinate had gone out, but how had he come back as a love-struck fool?
