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

"You can't be careless when you're injured."

Atal looked worried.

"It's alright, Atal. If you hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have even noticed this wound."

"No need to go to the hospital."

"Didn't we already apply the ointment? It'll be fine soon."

Jun Ming smiled indifferently.

Atar stood there with his head down, his hair obscuring his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Was it from the whip you received last night?"

Atal asked in a muffled voice.

Jun Ming keenly sensed that Atal's emotions were somewhat off.

He immediately stood up, stood in front of Atal, reached out a hand to touch Atal's cheek, and forcefully pulled Atal up to lift his head.

Atal's eyes were already red.

They blamed themselves for everything.

"If it weren't for that whip last night, would the lord have been spared from injury?"

"Atar, look at me."

Seeing Atal lost in self-doubt, Jun Ming hurriedly spoke up.

"It's not your fault, it has nothing to do with you."

"It was my own initiative that led me to try out that whip."

"I tried it because I wanted to know if the whip would hurt you."

"It's alright."

Jun Ming spoke very sincerely.

However, Atal was still consumed by deep self-blame.

If I hadn't taken out that whip last night, would Jun Ming have been so curious as to try it, and would he not have gotten hurt?

Atal became deeply immersed in this assumption.

Jun Ming sighed. Perhaps because of the fusion of their spiritual powers last night, Jun Ming was able to clearly sense Atar's emotions.

Regret and remorse.

"Since the injury was caused by Atal, you are punished by having to take care of me until the wound heals."

"OK."

Jun Ming shook Atar's hand, which was hanging by his side.

Then he lowered the rolled-up trouser legs.

"A powerful ruler doesn't actually need to do this."

"I'm a female soldier, and I've suffered just as many injuries as this. It's just a few lashes; I won't be seriously injured."

"The male insect is not like the female; it doesn't have such a strong self-healing ability. This wound will probably take a long time to heal."

Jun thought for a moment and then began to recount the time when the two first met.

"Does Atal remember the first time we met?"

"If I remember correctly, I have five deep, bone-exposing wounds on my arm."

"Those injuries are nothing to me. This whip lash only made me swell up a little. Compared to those, it's nothing."

Atal shook his head.

"But now the male ruler lives on the main star, and he can't afford to get hurt again in his own home."

Besides, I'm here with you.

Atal silently added to himself.

"If you don't want me to get hurt again, Atal, stop making all those weird gadgets."

"If Atal likes it, I'll have to choose it myself. I'll try it out before giving it to Atal."

Upon hearing this, Atal's ears turned red.

"No... I don't like it."

"No need to buy."

When it came to shopping, Junxiang thought of the shopping mall she had her eye on.

"Is Atal free this afternoon?"

"If you're free, let's go shopping together."

Just after discussing buying those strange props, Junming suggested going to the mall, which Atal clearly misunderstood.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to buy it...?"

Atal spoke hesitantly.

Jun Ming then realized how much ambiguity his words had caused.

"I won't buy those things, just some daily necessities and clothes."

"Atal, don't misunderstand."

Atar felt somewhat embarrassed when he realized he had misunderstood.

He hurriedly turned around, went upstairs to his room, and fled the scene.

"My lord, I'm going to change my clothes. Please wait a moment."

Jun Ming watched Atar's retreating figure as if fleeing, and couldn't help but smile.

I went upstairs to change my clothes.

When the two of them finished changing their clothes and getting ready, Dundun had already taken care of everything.

The location of the shopping mall has also been sent to the starship.

"Let's go, my lord."

Atal opened the door and followed Jun Ming onto the starship.

"May I pilot this starship?"

Jun Ming watched Atal's skillful movements with great envy.

If we were on Earth, having such high-tech vehicles to travel with those zombies would make searching for supplies much less dangerous.

"Does the powerful ruler want to learn?"

"I can teach you."

Atal has his own mech, so piloting such a starship is naturally very easy for him.

"Teach me sometime when you have the chance."

"I always think it would be so cool to be able to drive a machine."

Atal felt a sense of envy from Jun Ming and became somewhat smug. He couldn't resist showing off a skill, only realizing what he had done when he heard Jun Ming chuckle softly.

He made some discreet adjustments to the control panel, ultimately only changing the temperature inside the starship.

The starship quickly arrived at the shopping mall that Jun Ming had chosen in advance. After getting off the starship, Atal followed closely behind Jun Ming.

Jun Ming glanced back at Atal, who was about half a step behind him, smiled, took his hand, and walked into the mall side by side with Atal.

The shopping mall that Junming found is a comprehensive shopping mall.

There are separate areas for male insects and female insects, and even a playground for baby insects.

Welcome!

Upon seeing that there were male insects among the visitors, the mall sales assistant quickly got up to greet them.

"Your Excellency, what would you like?"

"I can give you directions and show you around."

Jun Ming came here simply to stroll around with Atal, the two insects. Although his purpose was to buy clothes, this was also his first formal date with Atal.

Therefore, they naturally do not want to be disturbed by outsiders.

Not to mention, the female sales assistant's eyes were practically glued to him; that sticky gaze made Jun Ming extremely uncomfortable.

Atar naturally noticed the gaze of the female guide from Naya. The feeling of his male insect being coveted and spied on by other insects made Atar feel a sense of crisis.

She slightly turned her body, blocking almost half of the female sales assistant's view.

"No."

Jun Ming coldly refused.

"I can explore on my own; I don't need directions."

The female sales assistant at Naya was very disappointed, but she still wouldn't give up.

He extended his hand and handed his business card to Jun Ming.

"Male insect, please feel free to contact me if you need me. I can help you with anything."

The female sales assistant winked at Jun Ming ambiguously, hinting at something.

This male insect is so handsome. Even if I don't become his female servant, it would be nice to sleep with him.

That's what the female sales assistant at Naya was thinking.

"I have no need to contact you, so I don't need your business card. Just move aside."

"You're blocking my way and my female servant's."

Jun Ming coldly refused, showing no respect whatsoever to the female sales assistant, Na Ya.

Seeing Jun Ming's unwavering attitude, Atar breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little happy.

Jun Ming led Atal past the sub-female and entered the mall without looking back.

The female sales assistant was humiliated and embarrassed, and was ridiculed by her colleagues.

"Can't you see who the female is next to that male? She's recklessly going up to him."

The female sales assistant at Naya was puzzled.

"Who?"

His gaze was fixed on the male insect, and he didn't even notice who the female insect next to the handsome male was.

"Silver hair and red eyes, who else could it be?"

Upon hearing this, the Asian saleswoman turned pale, feeling a bit scared.

"General Atal of the First Army?"

"Isn't that male insect the same B-grade male that was recently recovered?"

"Fortunately, the general did not pursue my actions, otherwise, with my small body, one punch from the general would have killed me."

The female sales associate returned to her position, ready to find the next target to cling to.
