The gentle, sickly beauty is a cold and aloof general.

"Atar, I offered to be your adjutant without consulting you beforehand. Will you blame me?"

Once aboard the starship, and with no spies from the Xiongbao Association around, Jun Ming shook his hand, which was clasped with Atal's, and asked.

Atal wouldn't argue with Jun Ming over such trivial matters; Atal's mind was preoccupied with other things.

"Of course not, my lord."

"With your talents, my adjutant is beneath you."

Jun Ming smiled sheepishly. What beautiful words in the world could compare to the praise of a lover?

"A mighty ruler..."

After much deliberation, Atal couldn't help but speak up.

"If you make Anos shut down your marriage matching mechanism, then no female insect will be able to get to know you or befriend you through this method anymore."

"Furthermore... once a male insect has a female ruler, taking in another female requires the female ruler's signature..."

The laws of the Zerg do indeed contain such provisions, but most of the male Zerg on the home planet do not care about them.

Some females, in order to solidify their position in the male's home, will even actively select females that please the male and present them to him.

Where is there any disagreement about the male insect taking a female as a concubine?

Atar's mention of this matter has served as a reminder to Jun Ming.

He had tried to tell Atal several times that he would not take any other female insects as his servants, except for Atal, but he was interrupted every time he tried to say it.

Now is the perfect opportunity.

Jun Ming pulled Atal onto his lap, holding him tightly in his arms.

"Atar".

As Junming called Atal's name, he nuzzled closer to Atal, their noses touching.

"Whether or not my marriage matching mechanism is open, whether you are my female servant or my female lord."

None of this affects my love for you.

"None of this will affect the fact that I will only have you as my female insect."

"Atar, you know me, Junming. I've never been a fickle insect. Once I've chosen you, I won't have any dealings with other female insects."

"I only want you."

"lifetime."

Atal's eyes had already reddened under Jun Ming's detailed analysis.

Although Atal had indeed guessed some things before, he did not expect Jun Ming to be so blunt.

Moreover, Jun Ming not only thought this way, but also did it.

Junming gave Atar the greatest sense of security through his actions.

"Me...me too."

With a sob in his voice, Atar moved himself even closer to Junming.

"I love you too......"

"It's also a lifetime..."

Jun Ming smiled and gently kissed Atar's trembling lips.

He stopped Atar from uttering his incoherent words.

"Atar, I know everything."

"I'm sure you love me, just as I'm sure I love you."

"We don't need to say any high-sounding words to each other, nor do we need to do anything to show our loyalty."

"Being yourself is the best way to show me you love me."

Atal pursed his lips, met Jun Ming's eager gaze, and nodded.

What is there that Atal doesn't understand?

From the very beginning, this was Junming's thought, and this was what he did.

Atar was able to win Junming's love not because he would grovel before male insects, nor because he was obedient and docile.

It's not because of his unique personality and charm.

Just as Junming said, being the best version of yourself is the best way to show your love for Junming.

On the starship, amidst the sweet romance, cedar trees entwined with daisies surrounded Junming and Atal.

After a period of intimacy, Jun Ming finally began to talk to Atal about serious matters.

"By the way, Atal."

"Wabulo said that it was because Gertlow came to him early this morning to report you that he came to our house and made such a big fuss, just to take you away."

"This kind of treacherous insect that's been eyeing you like a hawk should be dealt with as soon as possible."

At this point, Atal's expression turned serious.

"Yes."

"However, I was indeed careless in this matter."

"There are definitely some big moves in the ring, and Gertlow even forced me to use my wings, so the range of motion was naturally even greater."

"Fortunately, it was only one insect who saw it. Based on his one-sided account and without any substantial evidence, my insect pattern is no longer the same as before."

"Even if Wabulo really came to investigate, he wouldn't find anything."

When it came to Gertlow's performance in the ring, which forced Atal to want wings, Jun Ming suddenly remembered something very important.

Jun Ming reached out and touched Atar's neck, which had recovered to its original smoothness, with no trace of injury visible.

However, Jun Ming remembered very clearly that there had been a bloodstain where his fingertip had been lightly touching.

"Atal, it was Gertlow who hurt you, wasn't it?"

At this moment, Atal felt a little guilty.

It's true that Gertlow injured him, but by the time he got home, the wound had already become a faint red mark, barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

Atal made another cut to get Junming to open the door, which caused him to bleed.

"Well......"

"A mighty ruler."

"When Gertlow spread his wings, they did indeed graz my neck."

"but......"

Atal bit his lip, glanced at Jun Ming, and said nervously:

"By the time I got home, the wounds had almost completely healed."

"I was so worried because the master wouldn't open the door, so I had to... I cut myself, and that's how I bled a little."

"Gertelo, he'll have a hard time hurting me."

Jun Ming had indeed not expected the situation Atar described.

He felt a mix of sweetness and anger as he thought about how Atal was willing to do things that hurt himself for him.

As Jun Ming stroked Atal's neck, he watched as goosebumps rose on Atal's skin with each touch.

Only then did he slowly open his mouth:

"Regardless, it's a fact that Gertlow hurt you."

"I'm definitely going to settle this score with him."

"As for you... Atal, whatever the reason, you shouldn't hurt yourself."

"I'm a little angry..."

Atal watched Jun Ming speak expressionlessly, feeling the tightening force on his neck.

"A mighty ruler..."

"I promise it won't happen again."

Jun Ming raised his eyes and stared intently at Atar.

"certainly."

"I will no longer give you the chance to hurt yourself."

"but......"

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
