Who understands? The aloof female ruler always flirts without even realizing it.

Shen Yan did not choose to take the hovercar home, but instead strolled slowly on the streets of the Imperial Star. He had some blood on him from the disciplinary center, and he planned to walk around to get rid of the smell.

It concealed its breath and hid the tail hook around its waist to avoid causing a disturbance.

Having resolved Samuel's major concern, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if even my mental sea had become clearer and broader, filled with an indescribable abundance.

She instinctively touched her chest, attributing the pleasure to the smooth progress of her relationship with Karandal.

Thinking of his beloved wife, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

Even though we'd only been apart for less than two hours, longing for him had already crept into my heart like vines. I glanced at my terminal and decided to pick him up from the military headquarters at noon to have lunch together.

Lost in thought, he unconsciously turned into the relatively quiet commercial street next door. His gaze swept across the shop windows, and a shop with unique decor and a sign that read "Sweet Whispers" caught his eye.

The shop window displays some uniquely designed clothing that uses minimal fabric.

Shen Yan pushed open the shop door.

Welcome!

A smiling, female shop assistant immediately came up to him. She had clearly mistaken Shen Yan for a female, since the male was extremely handsome and did not show any tail hook.

"Are you looking for equipment that will enhance your relationship? Your lord will surely love it!"

Knowing he had been mistaken for a female insect, Shen Yan didn't explain. His gaze swept over the various clothes displayed in the store, and he found some of the designs so bold that they were refreshing to him.

The sales clerk was very perceptive; he smiled and led the way to the display case.

"This 'Night Commander' outfit incorporates military elements, and many female soldiers have reported that it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly effective, greatly stimulating the male's desire for conquest."

He displayed a black outfit on the insect stand with leather shoulder straps and metal buckles.

Next, it pointed to another set with fluffy white pom-poms and bell collars, as well as a set that included cat ear headbands and a soft, realistic cat tail:

"These two are also popular choices: the bunny female and the cat-eared female servant. Especially when combined with certain character interactions, they can greatly enhance the male master's interest."

He lowered his voice, with a hint of secretive sharing: "Believe me, no powerful ruler can resist this contrast."

Shen Yan's mind also involuntarily conjured up images of Kalander wearing these clothes. The usually meticulous and aloof general, if he were to be coaxed into wearing these during a sweet moment...

Just imagining it made my mouth dry, and the faintly growing spiritual power within me seemed to become even more active.

Hmm... I really can't resist it.

He vaguely sensed the aura emanating from the "female insect" beside him, which instilled in him both a sense of awe and comfort. The shop assistant, lacking a male master, was unaware that this was the male's spiritual energy overflowing, assuming it was simply the other woman's excitement at trying to please her male master.

So they promoted it even more enthusiastically.

Shen Yan coughed lightly, concealing the undercurrent and amusement surging in his eyes. His gaze swept between the several outfits, and he began to seriously consider which one would suit his partner better.

His mental energy seemed to have become more active, like ripples spreading across a lake after a stone has been thrown in.

Clearing his throat to suppress the dryness, he tried to make his voice sound calm and even.

"Wrap up this Commander suit, and this... cat ears and tail."

"...Wrap up the rabbit henchman and the cat-eared maidservant too!"

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away!"

The shop assistant, all smiles, deftly began packaging the items while offering enthusiastic compliments.

"Trust me, these will definitely bring you a wonderful experience. I wish you a pleasant time with your master!"

Carrying the beautifully packaged bag, Shen Yan stepped out of [Sweet Whispers], where even the sunlight seemed brighter. He glanced down at the bag in his hand, a smile playing on his lips—a smile that blended anticipation and mischievous amusement.

It was almost time, so he headed straight for the military headquarters building located in the heart of the capital. After confirming that he was a general's family member and Xiongzi, he was allowed to pass. Because he was unfamiliar with the area, he stood in front of the signboard to look at the road signs.

Wanting to surprise the other party, he did not inform Karandal of his upcoming visit beforehand.

"That is... Lord Shen Yan?" A female soldier on duty widened her eyes and nudged her companion with her elbow.

"It really is him! The General's leader!" His companion couldn't hide his surprise and responded in a low voice.

"What brings you to the military headquarters, sir?"

"It's said that this gentle and devoted woman dotes on her immensely. The general's mental energy is so stable today that it's almost overflowing, and the back of his neck is also..."

"The last time my mental strength was this stable was during my insect larva stage..."

Whispers spread like ripples through the solemn military headquarters.

Many female soldiers passing by couldn't help but slow down and steal glances at the handsome, black-haired male soldier.

This man is not just an SS-rank lord. Back then, the news of the airport incident spread like wildfire among them. The male thought the female was going to fight in the "Rift" and cried his heart out at the airport gate. It was a touching display of their deep love.

The male seemed oblivious to the stares and whispers around him. He had already located the approximate location of Karandall's office and set off in that direction.

The exquisitely designed pink bag in his hand created a subtle contrast with his overall demeanor, sparking countless curiosities and speculations.

"Look at that bag...it looks like it's from [Sweet Whispers]!"
