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

After the communication ended, Shen Yan did not immediately return to the inner room, but sat quietly on the sofa in the outer room for a while.

He knew that his father was swift and decisive, and none of the insects that had harmed Kalandall would escape.

But now the most important task is to take good care of my wife.

I slowly walked into the ward. The female insect was still asleep, gentle and docile, breathing steadily, but her brow seemed to be slightly furrowed, as if a trace of unease still lingered in her sleep.

His heart ached with a mixture of tenderness and pain. He sat on the edge of the bed and took Karandel's hand again, gently soothing his mental energy like a trickle, continuously flowing over him.

It could be sensed that the female insect's spiritual sea was greedily absorbing this nourishment.

In the following days, the work at the Karandal military headquarters was temporarily put on hold, and Xiongzi also turned down all unnecessary visits and communications, devoting himself entirely to taking care of his partner.

Toses acted swiftly. The Imperial Supreme Court took the case very seriously after receiving the indictment, which was submitted by the Speaker of Parliament and contained solid evidence.

Just as Shen Yan had predicted, the shock caused by listing the two charges of "persecution of a meritorious general" and "endangering the precious offspring of an SSS-level male insect" side by side was enormous.

The imperial high command, especially the military and those ancient families that value bloodline inheritance, showed unprecedented concern and unanimous condemnation of this matter.

The actions of the Prosperity Management Committee were classified as serious dereliction of duty.

Almost without any suspense, the ringleader Maurice and his core cronies were swiftly dismissed and investigated, and directly imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, a facility specifically for serious offenders, where they would face long sentences and severe punishment.

The entire system of the Management Committee for the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases has also undergone a top-down purge and power restructuring, and it will no longer be able to cause trouble in the short term.

The main culprit, Morris, still had the swollen face from being beaten by Shen Yan in court. He was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to be stripped of all political rights, dismissed from all public office, and exiled to a marginal planet to serve thirty years of hard labor.

Before being exiled, one must receive one hundred lashes of spiritual punishment in a public setting designated by the Supreme Court. This punishment will be recorded as a warning to others.

When the verdict reached Shen Yan, he was carefully helping Karandal take a slow walk in the garden, basking in the warm sun.

He selectively told the female ruler these messages, emphasizing that the trouble had been completely resolved and that it would put her mind at ease.

After hearing this, the female insect simply hummed softly, and then snuggled even closer into the male's arms.

For him, the fate of those insects was not important; what mattered was that the male was by his side and the offspring were safe and sound—that was enough.

However, with the problem solved, the challenges for the new dad had only just begun.

As the pregnancy progressed, Karandal's reliance on Shen Yan's comforting mental strength increased day by day.

This was not something he intentionally demanded, but rather an instinctive need. Shen Yan, naturally, was generous, enveloping Kalandall with his spiritual warmth almost around the clock.

After receiving a large amount of pheromones, the female insects often fall into a deeper sleep, leaving Shen Yan alone to take a cold shower in the bathroom.

That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and as usual, Shen Yan held his wife tenderly in his arms.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the sun, or perhaps it was the gentleness of the male's spirit, but Calander seemed exceptionally relaxed and absorbed today.

Before long, the familiar pheromones became stronger, carrying a milky scent and a unique hint of honey, filling Shen Yan's nostrils. His mental energy also actively wrapped around Shen Yan like vines, conveying a vague yet yearning thought.

The boy's body froze instantly.

Looking down, I saw that Karandal's eyes were red at the corners, his lips were slightly parted, and his breathing was a little rapid. He had obviously fallen into an unconscious state of arousal again.

"Lanlan..."

Shen Yan's voice was extremely hoarse. He tried to withdraw some of his mental energy, but the female insect unconsciously entangled him tightly and even let out a dissatisfied whimper.

He unconsciously took a deep breath, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He knew he had to stop, or things would really get out of control.

With a steely resolve, she slowly and resolutely withdrew her mental energy, gently patting Kalandel's cheek and whispering his name:

"Lanlan, wake up, look at me."

The female insect opened her eyes groggily, her icy blue pupils shimmering with moisture, still carrying lingering lust and bewilderment.

"A powerful ruler?"

Her voice had a nasal quality, as if she had just woken up, and she seemed completely unaware of what she had just done.

Looking at his completely innocent appearance, Shen Yan was both amused and exasperated. All the romantic feelings and restlessness in her heart turned into helpless pampering and heartache.

He lowered his head, restrainedly kissed his wife's forehead, and said softly, "It's alright, you were asleep just now. Do you want to go back to the bedroom?"
