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

Whenever he wakes up in the middle of the night, when the pain of losing control of his mental energy overwhelms him, he thinks of that blushing male insect.

That was a male insect that hadn't been corrupted, stubbornly believing that after mating, he had to take responsibility for Saixuya.

Even without a label.

The rebels left the Luanse star system in such a hurry that Saixuya didn't even know the name of the male insect.

But this is for the best...

I was destined to walk this solitary path, dedicating my life to the cause I am loyal to.

Sai Xuya thought to herself.

After realizing that the surveillance equipment had been turned off, Junming and Atal finally relaxed, no longer feeling like they were being spied on.

"Queen, you scared me to death just now."

Jun Ming nestled in Atal's arms, still shaken, and acted coquettishly.

"What's wrong, my lord?"

Jun Ming groped Atar's waist while muttering complaints.

"That Eric is truly remarkable. His affection for Saixuya is not just as deep as he says."

"While he was under hypnosis, he heard Sai Xuya agree to my conditions, and he almost forcibly broke free from the hypnosis on his own."

"Fortunately, I discovered it in time and added another layer of restrictions."

"Otherwise, he would have truly regained consciousness."

Without surveillance, Atal was unable to dodge Jun Ming's hands that were constantly setting fires around his waist.

"Even back in the First Legion, Eric and Cyrus had this level of trust in each other. Years of tacit understanding had made them very familiar with each other."

"He was able to almost break free from my hypnosis; his self-awareness was indeed terrifyingly strong."

Jun meditated on the raging fire burning within Eric's mental sea, a temperature powerful enough to devour everything.

Thinking of the mental sea, Jun Ming turned his attention back to Atar.

For so long, I've been busy saving those female insects and haven't had a proper chance to show Atar his spiritual sea.

Jun Ming's spiritual power slowly traveled up Atal's calves, across his waist and chest, and finally tentatively approached Atal's mental sea.

Noticing what Jun Ming was doing, Atal did not refuse and obediently opened his mental sea, letting Jun Ming show him the situation inside.

There have been some changes in my mental state, but the problem is not serious.

After the treatment, Atal felt clearer-headed.

When Jun Ming tried to withdraw from Atar's mental sea while controlling his mental power, he was entangled and stopped by Atar's mental power.

"My lord, didn't you say that my spiritual power could help you recover better? You've really been working hard these past few days, you need to rest well."

A continuous stream of restorative power flowed from the merging spiritual energy, making Jun Ming's limbs feel weak.

However, considering that they were still in rebel territory, Jun Ming sighed softly.

"After we get back, can Atal apply for a leave of absence?"

"After working non-stop for so many days, you should get some rest."

Atal knew what Jun Ming was planning, and blushed slightly, but did not refuse, because Atal was also somewhat tempted.

When your true love is right beside you, it's the most natural thing to be moved.

"It will happen."

"Then I'll take a good rest with the male ruler for a while."

Jun Ming then rubbed against Atal's shoulder, satisfied.

Sai Xuya and Eric discussed some more details and finalized a general action plan before preparing to give Jun Ming a reply.

There was another knock on the door. Atar straightened his clothes, opened the door, and Saixuya stood at the door without going in.

"I'll go with you, but you can't take away my communication devices, nor can you interfere with my communication with other insects."

"I can guarantee that once we reach the main planet, everything I do will be unrelated to you."

"You must promise to restore the freedom of all my subordinates."

These were all minor matters and there was nothing wrong with them, so Jun Ming did not refuse again.

"certainly."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Jun Ming smiled kindly at Sai Xuya.

"Get ready, we're leaving soon."

"After we leave, the rebels will move to a different location."

"Before you leave, you must relinquish control over my people."

Jun Ming closed his eyes and dispersed his spiritual power in all directions. The female insects that had just been cured were now basically living together. Unhypnotizing them was simple; he just needed to make them forget the instructions.

After a series of actions, Jun Ming opened his eyes.

"It's okay now."

"Your subordinates are all free."

Jun Ming stood there calmly, accepting Sai Xuya's scrutinizing gaze.

Given Jun Ming's usual behavior, Sai Xuya ultimately believed Jun Ming's words.

"Your two portable escort warships are still here. Do you need Daoling to come back with you?"

Atal nodded.

"Of course, he is still a member of the First Legion. He didn't die in front of other female legions. If he stays here rashly, the higher-ups will investigate and cause us trouble."

"I think the leader should be aware of this."

Sai Xuya Lin had served in the First Legion for a long time and naturally understood the Legion's rules.

It's a pity that Daoling and Suoran had only met for a few days before they had to part ways again.

When it was time to leave, only Eric, Solran, and Taylor, three insects, came to see him off.

Sai Xuya did not disclose any comments about this operation to others. The explanation they gave was that their leader had gone to carry out a secret mission.

Suo Ran gave Dao Ling a reluctant kiss. After the two insects said goodbye, Dao Ling sat in the pilot's seat of one of the portable planetary ships.

Saixuya didn't say much, just patted Eric on the shoulder and said, "Take care."

Eric didn't say much; their years of tacit understanding didn't need any extra words to express it.

"be safe."

All my words can be summed up in this one piece of advice.

Atar shared a boat with Saixuya, while Junming shared a boat with Daoling as usual.

They both embarked on their journey back to the First Army Corps' garrison base.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

Halfway through the journey, Atal remembered something and said to Saixuya:

"The male insect you had contact with in the Luanse system chased our First Legion to the main star and is now working in the First Legion, responsible for calming down the female insects whose mental energy has gone out of control."

He came along on this mission as well.

"If you see him on a warship, remember not to be too surprised."

"He said he came for you."

Sai Xuya's heart skipped a beat.

"He caught up with them all the way into the First Legion?"

Atal nodded.

"Yes, Lord Yixuan is an A-grade male insect. He volunteered to come and work, so the First Legion has no reason to refuse."
