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

After taking a long, cold shower, Jun Ming finally returned to bed.

Before getting into bed, I casually tossed the suppression ring, which had been carelessly discarded on the floor, into the drawer by my bedside.

Before resting, Jun Ming carefully examined his mental energy once again, confirming that the recovery of his mental energy was not an illusion.

He was planning to come up with a way tomorrow to coax Atar into opening a wider gap in his mental sea, allowing more of his mental energy to enter.

The most important thing for Atar, whose mental sea was in such disarray, was to find a way to stop the raging storm.

Those thick clouds must be dispersed.

Tomorrow, I need to keep an eye on the condition of the insect markings on the back of Atal's neck. Just listening to Atal's side of the story isn't enough for Junming. He won't be at ease until he sees the markings fade and dim with his own eyes.

Atar washed up and buried himself in the blankets.

Feeling the little flower blooming in my spiritual sea, my spiritual power felt like it had found a child returning home, hiding in the petals and nuzzling affectionately.

My mind was clearer than ever before, and my tense spirit was finally able to relax for a moment.

All of this is thanks to Jun Ming's spiritual comfort.

Atar sensed something was amiss. Logically, he possessed SS-level mental power, and only the mental power of S-level male insects could have a significant effect on him; A-level male insects would only have a slight effect.

However, Junming, as a B-grade male insect, was able to successfully enter his own spiritual sea and achieve this remarkable effect on his first attempt.

Unable to understand, Atal attributed everything to the perfect match between him and Junming.

A good night's sleep.

Atal slept soundly for the first time in many years, and when he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

She hurriedly got up, washed up, left her room, and went downstairs, only to find Jun Ming already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He was holding a quantum computer and writing and drawing.

"A mighty ruler..."

Jun Ming heard the noise and turned around.

Good morning, Atal.

"Breakfast is still warming up in the kitchen. Come over and show me something after you've finished eating."

Atal wanted to apologize for oversleeping, but seeing that Jun Ming didn't seem to care at all, he didn't say anything more.

"it is good."

After last night's mental reassurance, Atal seemed to have become bolder.

It could be because of the removed inhibition ring, or it could be because of the discarded box, or it could be because of... the little daisy that bloomed in his mind.

After breakfast, Atal stood next to Junming.

According to the "Handbook for Female Servants," Atar should have been kneeling at Jun Ming's feet. However, the "Handbook for Female Servants" had already been reduced to dust in Jun Ming's hands, so whether or not it was followed seemed to make little difference.

When Jun Ming saw Atal approaching, he smiled happily, took Atal's hand, and made Atal sit down next to him.

Then he handed his personal computer to Atar.

Atal's Manual

It was something Junming spent the whole morning writing specifically for Atal, for that one sentence: "In my house, you have to listen to me."

"Atal has married me and become my servant, my insect."

"I don't like that 'Female Servant Handbook' at all, so I wrote a set of rules for Atal. Atal must remember them and strictly abide by them."

Atal took the personal terminal, his face serious, as if he were looking at some important military document.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will certainly do it..."

Before I could finish speaking, I froze when I saw the first point.

Article 1 of the Atal Manual:

[Place yourself on an equal footing with the male insect, Junming. There is no distinction of rank or status between the two insects, and the male insect must also abide by this rule.]

Atal held the quantum computer, standing there dumbfounded, a look of confusion on his face.

"My lord, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Jun Ming stared blankly at the stunningly beautiful woman beside him, his eyes filled with confusion.

I couldn't help but smile.

"It's not a mistake."

"Atar, I told you, I'm not one of those useless male insects on the main planet."

"You can do whatever you want with me, but only if you ask me for it yourself."

Jun Ming knew that Atar, who had been controlled by a mindset of enslavement since childhood, would not change so quickly.

But it doesn't matter, they have plenty of time.

Jun Ming pulled the quantum computer back from Atal's hand.

"The document has been sent to you. If Atal is free this morning, you can take a look and memorize it."

"However... before that, Atal has something important to correct."

Atar straightened his expression, his face becoming serious.

"My lord, please speak."

"Please stop addressing me as 'you' (formal)."

"Atar, you may call me by my name, you may call me Lord, or you may address me as 'you' as I do."

"We are equals, and I don't like titles that imply a significant status or position."

"I would prefer that Atal treats me as a friend first, rather than as a male insect."

Upon hearing this, Atal looked unusually foolish.

"you......."

Before he could say anything, Jun Ming raised an eyebrow and interrupted him.

"Um?"

"...Do you really think so?"

Atal was a little unaccustomed to speaking to Jun Ming like this for the first time.

"Of course."

"Atar, you and I have a long future ahead of us."

"I hope that the person beside me is an Atal who is flesh and blood and has emotions, not an Atal who is bound by rules and regulations and is timid and hesitant."

Atar remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

"I will try to do it."

"However, it may... take some time."

Atal was a little nervous. Jun Ming's words were very clear, whether it was the "Atal Manual" or the suppression ring that was removed without any thought.

Jun Ming clearly and plainly expressed his meaning.

Atal's life, tamed by enslaved ideology for decades, was not without resistance and reflection, but each time reality dealt him a severe blow.

He couldn't resist, and he had no way to resist.

Just like Hevalius, a female insect identical to him, who once made grand pronouncements, but in the end was trampled underfoot by the male insect and became an object of toy.

I originally thought that being matched with Jun Ming would mean the same fate for Hevalius.

As a result, Junming gave him an unexpected choice.

It was like the wish Atal made to that cake.

I hope I can still be myself.

Junming is now telling Atar that he can be himself, that he doesn't have to be a subservient female to male insects, and that they are equals.

But it's easier said than done; changing one's mindset and behavior takes time and effort.

Atar was somewhat afraid; he feared that Junming would lose patience before he could become the person Junming envisioned.

Atal wanted to hold this unusual male insect tightly in his hand, and wanted to... try to walk with him through the so-called "future".

Jun Ming naturally knew how difficult it was to change someone's mind.

Seeing Atal's tense expression, even if you replaced the word "you" with "you" in his name, you could tell how much determination he had made.

Atal now needs reassurance from Junming.

"We have plenty of time."

"Atar can take his time."

"Anyway, I can wait."

Jun Ming gave Atal a soft, sweet smile.

For some reason, Atal recalled the powerful look in Jun Ming's eyes last night, with his slicked-back hair and gloomy expression.

A different Junming.

Same...it's irresistibly tempting.
