All facilities and services on Blue Star are currently only available to the military, and the food court and snack street are only open on weekends.

Fei invited three or five friends, along with his subordinates and two cubs, to patronize his master's business.

After leaving the plaza where the spaceships were parked, a fully automated hover train came along, taking everyone around the orchards and fields shrouded in an atmosphere, and "whoosh whoosh whoosh" towards the main city.

The two insect babies will be two years old in a few months. Although they are not as big as other insect babies of the same age because they suffered in the womb, they are still quite strong. Especially when they flap their bone wings and make a ruckus, even Fei has to stay two meters away, otherwise he will easily be accidentally hurt.

It is mid-spring, the blue sky is full of lush grass and warbling birds, and the spring scenery is boundless.

The insects that had been living on the main planet for years found this scenery particularly novel and delightful. Fei recalled the argument he had with Zhuang Nian about installing a protective layer and felt that his lord's decision to preserve a portion of the natural environment was absolutely correct.

Before entering the food court, you have to walk through the snack street. The path is paved with bluestone slabs and is covered with grass and flowers. The Chinese-style buildings on both sides are also built with bluestone, which is unique and grand.

The insects had never seen such a building before, and they all praised it highly.

Upbeat music played in the shop, and the virtual male insects provided enthusiastic and attentive service to every customer with hearts in their eyes. Their young, handsome, and gentle image attracted the insects to pay and take photos as souvenirs.

Johnny bought some snacks for the two cubs clutching his military boots. Shul, who had just returned from over a year of training on another planet, clicked his tongue and remarked, "These virtual insects, how come they look so much like Lord Zhuang Nian?"

Fei pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xiuer is right, the prototype of these virtual insects is Zhuang Nian.

It was only after he threw a tantrum that the male insect reluctantly changed the model, but these virtual insects still retained the shadow of their male master.

Fei thought about all the ways Zhuang Nian had accommodated him, and felt more confident about the plans that were about to be carried out.

The food court covers a large area and its decoration style is similar to that of a snack street.

Xiuer, unaware of the entanglement between Fei and the female, swallowed hard and rubbed his hands together, smelling the enticing aroma of food in the air.

"I've heard that the chef here is incredibly skilled! The food smells amazing! Just smelling it makes my mouth water..."

Johnny glanced at Fei subconsciously, watching him feed fruit to the two little ones on the chair, his expression showing nothing amiss.

After the insect chicks learned to walk, they became exceptionally lively and active. They couldn't sit still and would shift their bottoms on the chair, trying to go play elsewhere. However, their female parent used her mental power to suppress them so they couldn't move. They blinked their big golden eyes and purred incessantly.

Fei touched the bone wings of his children, which were immobilized by his mental power. He could clearly feel the force that was gradually getting out of control due to their struggle as his fingertips lightly touched the edge.

Later, when everyone was drunk and in high spirits, Fei rang the bell to order the last main dish. Chong, who was standing next to him, said, "Fei, everyone is full. Don't waste food."

Fei: "I've booked tickets for the hot spring resort for everyone. We'll be staying here tonight. If we can't finish our food, we can pack it up and take it home for a late-night snack. Nothing will go to waste."

He was usually aloof and unapproachable, and didn't like socializing. But now, his behavior made his somewhat reserved subordinates relax, and they started chatting in twos and threes.

When the submissive entered, the atmosphere in the private room was just right.

The silver-haired female insect that always monopolized the black-haired male insect and wouldn't allow other insects to approach Zhuang Nian sat in the main seat, looking at him with slightly cool eyes.

Like Fei, Yaci also particularly disliked Fei.

Thinking that he clearly has no relationship with the male insect anymore, why does he always act as the female ruler?

Doesn't he understand that even a legitimate female ruler cannot stop her male ruler from seeking pleasure?

The two female insects stared at each other across the table full of leftover food, the atmosphere so subtle that even the oblivious Xiuer sensed something was wrong.

Fei casually pointed at the submissive woman and said in a very nonchalant manner:

"He is the chef that the lord hired at a high price. Not only is he a good cook, but he is also good at knife skills. This whole roasted lamb is so tough that even insects can't dissect it. Only he can do it."

That's what I meant...

Who among you here isn't a master chef with top-notch culinary skills and exceptional knife abilities?

Everyone agrees that the submissive cook is good, since they've never even seen these dishes before, but if you're talking about excellent knife skills, it has to be her...

The competitive spirit unique to the female soldier was aroused, and everyone looked at the female soldier, wanting to see just how good the insect's knife skills were that could be praised by the mighty God of War.

At that moment, the sub-female felt like a jack-of-all-trades. He awkwardly dissected the whole roasted lamb on the table with a knife, feeling itchy all over from the gazes of the female soldiers.

He glanced at Fei subconsciously and saw that the silver-haired female soldier had a slight upturn of her lips, looking down on him with a condescending expression. He was annoyed and distracted, and the lamb leg in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiu'er, who rarely thought before he spoke, was even more blunt with Fei after drinking, saying, "Is this what you call good knife skills? Believe me, I could gouge my own eyes out and still be better than him!"

Everyone chuckled, without any malice, but perhaps because Fei was there, Ya Ci felt that they were conspiring to embarrass her.

Slightly embarrassed, she asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Do you all think I'm easy to bully?"

Fei knew Ya Ci's temperament, so he remained silent with a frosty expression.

Shure was also a little annoyed: "How dare you talk like that? How did we bully you? You made a mistake and you still think you're right? We're already being lenient by not making you pay for that lamb leg, and you're still throwing a tantrum? What kind of attitude is that?"

It is said that male insects do not like strong, powerful female soldiers, and sub-females also have a barrier with them, finding them fierce and annoying.

He said, "I just lost my temper! So what? You think you can act like God just because you paid a few bucks?"

This wasn't the first time the female customer had clashed with a customer, but Zhuang Nian had always managed to smooth things over.

He probably understands his own importance, so he becomes increasingly unable to recognize his place, and gets angrier than the customers at the slightest setback.

Xiu'er was immediately shocked. "Someone like you, how could Lord Zhuang Nian allow you to continue working here?"

"That's right!" The submissive woman said arrogantly, chin raised. "Lord Zhuang Nian can tolerate me! If you're so capable, then don't covet my cooking! If you're so capable, then don't come here to spend money! If you're so capable, then go and tell Lord Zhuang Nian to fire me!"

The submissive woman snorted and looked at Fei, saying, "If you don't have the ability, then shut up!"

When Zhuang Nian was summoned, the private room was already in chaos.

The female insect's eyes immediately welled up with tears upon seeing the male insect, and she wiped them away, saying, "Waaah~ Lord Zhuang Nian..."

His aggrieved expression made it seem as if he wasn't the one who had just been verbally battling the swarm of insects.

Everyone was immediately stunned!

The female soldiers are excellent at fighting on the battlefield, but they're not exactly masters of flattery and ingratiation. Blushing and visibly upset, they asked Zhuang Nian:

"Mr. Zhuang Nian, is this your employee? Is this how he treats his guests?"

Zhuang Nian glanced at Fei and said he would treat everyone to the meal, then had the tearful Ya Ci apologize to everyone.

Judging from his attitude, he still intends to protect her.

The sub-female, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly changed completely, sobbing and bowing at a ninety-degree angle, saying in an incredibly sweet, tearful voice:

"I'm sorry~ Waaah~ It's my fault~ Waaah~ I'm so sorry~ I misunderstood everyone~ It wasn't intentional~"

If Fei had previously been looking for trouble and disliking the female, now no matter what, Fei wouldn't keep him around.

Xiuer and the other insects were so angry they almost fell over. Fei said in a slightly cold voice:

"It's just a small quarrel, why are you crying for no reason? Since it's a misunderstanding, then continue. The master has been praising your roasted lamb, so bring it over for everyone to try."

How could anyone eat? They wished the sub-female would disappear from their sight as soon as possible; just seeing him made them feel suffocated.

Fei met his master's gaze naturally, using his mental power to suppress the two cubs who wanted to throw themselves into his master's arms, and asked Zhuang Nian in a slightly raised tone:

"My lord, do you think my request is excessive?"

Zhuang Nian didn't know what Fei was going to do, so he gave him a warning look: Don't cause trouble!

Fei looked at Zhuang Nian with clear eyes and an open expression, patted the little ones' heads, and said softly, "Master, our little insect babies are still hungry~"

As things escalated to this point, everyone felt something was amiss, and they stopped being angry, silently watching the drama unfold.

Zhuang Nian looked at the two little ones stretching out their paws and staring at him expectantly, pointed at the female, and told her to continue dismembering the whole roasted lamb.

Fei observed their interaction and, as he moved his hand away, withdrew the mental energy that had been suppressing the children.

Suddenly freed, the tiny bone wings fluttered like butterfly wings. As an out-of-control gust of wind lifted the tablecloth, the female's knife suddenly slashed downwards, then was pulled to the side. In the instant blood gushed out, three of her fingers were severed.

The female's shrill cry pierced everyone's eardrums, and as everyone gasped in surprise, Zhuang Nian suddenly turned his head and fixed his gaze firmly on Fei.

Just wait and see...

The female soldier, with her cool and aloof appearance, looked at him with clear, innocent eyes, her expression upright and her gaze frank.

Fei said anxiously to his master, "Master! What are you standing there for? Quickly take him to see a doctor!"

The competition between female insects has always been like this: it's a contest of who is more greedy, more daring, and more ruthless.

Forget about any schemes or plots; Fei's childhood experiences have taught him that only the victor is truly respectable.

Fei's affection for Zhuang Nian had long since transformed into an indelible love through their daily interactions. The heavier this love became, the more Fei could not bear the sight of other insects around his lord.

Since he can't tolerate other insects, and other insects don't like him either, he might as well strike first; it's better than being passive.

This was also the first time Zhuang Nian had witnessed Fei's ruthlessness.

That lecherous bug, who always acted submissive and had red eyes in front of him, took three of the other bug's fingers just because of simple jealousy...

That's true; they're not a good match.
