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

Yi Xuan used all his strength in those few swings.

On several occasions, it even grazed past Anos.

Having been under Jun Ming's command for so long, Yi Xuan was no longer the weak and helpless male insect he once was. In fact, Yi Xuan even knew where to strike the most painful spot.

Because I've been beaten up so many times, I've learned how.

The female insects, out of respect for Yi Xuan's status as a male insect, dared not run away and could only endure Yi Xuan's anger.

Anos was startled by Yixuan's sudden outburst.

After realizing what was happening, Anos immediately retreated, barely managing to avoid the suppression ring that nearly hit him in the chaos.

"Lord Yixuan, we can discuss this."

Anos didn't want news to spread the next day that a male insect had gone mad in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Male Protection Association.

Whatever the reason, this is a huge blow to the reputation of the Xiongan New Area Protection Association.

"Is it negotiable?"

"Does Xiongbao want to expose my shortcomings in front of all the insects, and then expect me to negotiate with him?"

Yixuan did not stop what he was doing.

To the onlookers, Yixuan's reckless behavior was clearly a result of his anger and embarrassment at the impending spread of his "hidden illness."

"Lord Yixuan, I can grant your request."

Finally, Anos could no longer contain himself and growled in a low voice.

The male insect, who had always worn a gentle mask, finally couldn't help but reveal his annoyance.

"You may leave with your female attendant. Our Male Protection Society exists to safeguard the interests of male insects. Since you do not wish for this matter to be publicized, just say so."

"It wouldn't be good if you accidentally hurt yourself while doing something so big."

Forcibly suppressing his annoyance, Anos then gently comforted Yixuan, who had stopped her madness.

Having achieved the desired result, Yi Xuan snorted coldly, tossed the half-suppression ring he was clutching onto the ground, and turned to Sai Xuya, saying:

"Hurry up and catch up with me, or do I have to come and fetch you myself?"

"You've spent so much of my money, if you don't serve me well, you'll be in big trouble."

Yi Xuan glared fiercely at the group of insects behind him before leaving.

Sai Xuya showed no particular expression, following closely behind Yi Xuan as they left the detention cell.

Even after Yixuan and Saixuya boarded the starship, Yixuan did not speak or even glance at Saixuya.

However, Yixuan's hands, hidden in his sleeves, were trembling uncontrollably.

After Yixuan and Saixuya left, the female insect behind Anos hesitantly asked:

"President, are you just going to let them leave so easily?"

Anos held back for a long time, and finally slapped the female insect behind him across the face.

"waste."

"Are we going to keep them here until they cause a scene outside?"

"What do you think the Xiongbao Association is good for?"

"Don't you do background checks before doing anything?"

"How many insects on the main planet know about that male insect named Yi Xuan, and what kind of image does he hold in their hearts?"

Do I need to tell you?

"If a male insect that is usually described as 'gentle' were to go berserk in public, how much public criticism would the Male Protection Association suffer?"

Anos glared fiercely at the group of female insects behind him.

"Get back to work, everyone. Think of a statement to issue. The news about tomorrow's noon live stream has already been released. You can handle this, right?"

Anos narrowed his eyes and threatened.

The female insects behind him were all trembling with fear, and after nodding, they all retreated.

On the other side, Sai Xuya had been eyeing Yi Xuan ever since she boarded the starship.

But Yi-hsuan stubbornly refused to look at him.

Neither of the two insects spoke until they returned to Yixuan's house.

Yi Xuan moved stiffly and hurriedly crossed the living room.

"There are many clean guest rooms on the second floor; you can choose any one you like."

After saying that, Yixuan wanted to go upstairs to his own room.

"Yi Xuan".

Sai Xuya called out to Yi Xuan before he stepped onto the stairs.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?"

As Sai Xuya spoke, she slowly paced back and forth, her shoes making a sound with each step on the floor.

Yi Xuan stood stiffly, one hand gripping the stair railing, listening to Sai Xuya's slowly approaching footsteps, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Although Yi-hyun had no choice but to say disrespectful things to Sai-hsu-ya in front of Anos, the chairman of the Xiongbao Association, just to put on an act.

But Yixuan felt that he had no face to face Saixuya.

Despite promising to help Sai Xu Ya Lin, Yi Xuan almost made Sai Xu Ya Lin the target of ridicule and arbitrary criticism during the live stream because he didn't have any background.

Therefore, Yixuan felt a pang of hatred for his own incompetence, and was also afraid to see Saixuya's eyes, afraid to see disgust in them.

"I......"

Yi Xuan opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was blocked by a large stone, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Why don't you dare turn around and look at me?"

Sai Xuya's voice grew closer and closer, until it was almost right next to Yixuan's ear.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to say those bad things to you..."

Yi Xuan's words were incoherent, and his hand, which was resting on the stair railing, was visibly trembling.

Sai Xuya slowly approached Yi Xuan from behind, supporting herself with her hands, in a gesture that seemed to be holding Yi Xuan in her arms.

But in reality, there was still some distance between Sai Xuya's chest and Yi Xuan's back; they weren't actually touching.

"How much of your savings did it take to redeem me from the Xiongan New Area?"

Yi Xuan remained silent.

At first, Yixuan did want to use that string of zeros as a link between him and Saixuya, but Yixuan gave up.

Sai Xuya is free. Even if money is used to bind him, it is only based on "repaying a debt of gratitude" and there is not much genuine feeling.

This is not the direction Yixuan wanted.

"Um?"

Seeing that Yixuan didn't speak, Saixu Yalin moved closer, her breath hitting Yixuan's earlobe, causing it to turn a thin red.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"How much did you spend? Is it all gone?"

Yi Xuan felt a little hot, and the hot breath that Sai Xuya exhaled made him feel a little itchy.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

"No...it didn't cost much."

Sai Xuya reached out a hand and placed it on Yixuan's shoulder, then slid it down his arm and grasped Yixuan's hand that was hanging by his side.

"Were you injured just now?"

Sai Xuya pinched Yi Xuan's fingers one by one, then gently swept them across his palm. Only after confirming there were no wounds did she slowly interlock her fingers.

As Yixuan felt Sai Xuya's actions, his eyes trembled involuntarily.

After Yi Xuan felt his hand being tightly gripped by Sai Xuya's ten fingers, it was as if a current of electricity flowed from the fingertips being held to his entire body.
