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

Before long, the surroundings became so quiet that only the intertwined breathing of Sai Xuya and Yi Xuan could be heard.

The one that sounded very light was Sai Xuya Lin, who had already entered a deep sleep; while the other one that sounded slightly heavy was Yi Xuan, who was still unable to fall asleep for the time being.

Yixuan felt a pang of sadness.

He knew that Sai Xuya Lin didn't like him now, at least not as much as he liked Sai Xuya Lin.

He is able to lie here now because he can provide more assistance to Saixu Yalin, making Saixu Yalin's actions smoother.

If you say that Sai Xu Ya Lin wasn't even slightly tempted, Yi Xuan wouldn't believe it.

However, Yixuan knew that the current Saixuya wouldn't waste her energy on these romantic relationships.

All Yixuan can do now is to follow closely behind Saixu Yalin and give him unconditional support.

When Saixu Yalin thinks of looking back, he'll definitely be the first person she sees.

This female insect, who refused to show any vulnerability in front of any other insect, only made Yixuan feel even more heartbroken.

Tightening his arm around Sai Xuya Lin, Yi Xuan gently kissed Sai Xuya Lin's forehead, silently making a vow in his heart.

Next time, I'll kiss you while I'm looking at you.

Dao Ling, who was guarding the door, noticed that Yi Xuan hadn't left on time that night, so she guessed what had happened and left quietly.

After returning to his room, he sent a message to Suo Ran:

【miss you.】

Suo Ran replied to the message very quickly.

I miss you too!

Before Dao Ling could reply, Suo Ran called via video call.

Dao Ling answered the call without thinking.

"Daoling! Did you miss me? I missed you so much too."

Seeing my favorite insect always makes me very happy.

Dao Ling smiled broadly.

"Of course I miss you."

This is the second time we've been separated for such a long time.

Suo Ran comforted him:

"It's alright. Once the leader confirms the location of the secret research institute, we can begin our operation."

"After that, we can be together forever."

Dao Ling only spoke after hearing about Sai Xuya's stinginess.

"Speaking of the leader..."

Daoling told Suoran everything she had seen and heard over the past few days.

"There's actually a male insect so infatuated with our leader?"

"However, we can't jump to conclusions so quickly. Who knows if that male insect will change its tune once we get back to the main planet?"

"Just wait and see, time will give us the best answer."

Dao Ling nodded.

They naturally had no right to question Saixu Yalin's decision, but they had been hurt by male insects, so they naturally did not want the insects around them to experience the same thing.

After expressing her longing for Suo Ran for a while, Dao Ling reluctantly hung up the phone.

As dawn broke, Yixuan, whose biological clock had already set in, opened her eyes on time.

As a result, everything went dark.

After a moment, Yixuan realized that he was still wearing a hairband in front of his eyes.

Judging from the sound, Sai Xuya was still asleep. In order not to wake him, Yi Xuan moved to the bedside little by little.

Feeling that he had reached the edge of the bed, Yixuan sat up, reached into his shoes with his foot, and only after stepping on solid ground did he raise his hand to remove his hairband.

Picking up the clothes from the floor, she quietly put them on with her back to Sai Xuya Lin, tied the hairband around her arm, and then placed Sai Xuya Lin's clothes by the bed before leaving Sai Xuya Lin's room quietly.

While Yixuan was doing all this, he didn't glance at Saixuya's insect pattern once.

I dare not look.

Because Sai Xuya wouldn't let him see it.

After Yixuan left, Saixuya slowly opened her eyes.

Actually, he had already woken up when Yixuan started moving his body.

However, he wanted to see what Yixuan would do, so he didn't say anything and just observed silently.

Sai Xuya watched as Yi Xuan slowly moved his body at a snail's pace, gradually searching for his own shoes.

Then she got out of bed and took off her hairband.

Sai Xuya thought that Yi Xuan would take this opportunity to see or do something.

But none of them were there.

Yi Xuan simply helped him straighten his clothes, and didn't even dare to look at him once throughout the whole process, which is why Yi Xuan didn't even notice that Sai Xu Ya was squinting so obviously.

Looking at the clothes laid out beside her, Sai Xuya was stunned for a long time before finally smiling slightly.

Sai Xuya didn't know why he was laughing, but she just felt inexplicably happy.

The happy mood disappeared when Sai Xuya sat up.

He simply couldn't understand why the female insect's powerful self-healing ability had lost its original purpose at this moment.

My lower back aches, and other parts of my body feel a little uncomfortable. But it's not unbearable; it's a feeling I've never experienced before.

"We still need to restrain their hands and feet..."

Sai Xuya silently complained to herself.

On the other side, Yi Xuan, who was full of energy and immersed in training, was completely unaware that in the next possible appearance of him and Sai Xu Ya Lin, he had been deprived of the right to control his own hands and feet.

After the training was over, Yi Xuan and Jun Ming both exited the connection pod.

"We're about to return to the main planet. Have you thought about what you'd say to the king?"

Yixuan nodded.

"I will make my identity and my relationship with Sai Xu Ya Lin clear at the very first moment of the handover."

"We will absolutely not allow Saixuya Lin to be taken away by the insects sent by the king all by himself."

"No one knows exactly what happened on the Luanse Star. I can easily make up a perfect story."

"Furthermore, I contacted the media and had them release the news several days in advance that I had met with Sai Xuya Lin alone in the Luanse Galaxy."

"And my face was included in the news report."

"Gossip always spreads the fastest. Once I return to the main planet, my face will be known to the public. With a certain level of fame, the king won't make his move too obvious, at least he won't target me."

"Since the king arranged to meet with Saixu Yalin through other A-grade male insects in the past, he probably won't personally intervene this time to ask for a male insect that has already been marked."

"I looked at my inventory, and it just happens to be enough to save a female insect with the most serious crime."

"I will protect Sai Xuya Lin, even if it costs me everything."

Yi Xuan said firmly.

"As long as you know your limits, that's good."

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact me."

"Atar won't show up, but I can offer you some help privately."

Yi Xuan smiled gratefully at Jun Ming.

"Thank you, I will."

"I understand the principle of not being a show-off."
