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

No sooner had Junming and Atal returned home than the clothes they had bought were delivered.

Just then, Junming wanted Atal to see the walk-in closet that was specially prepared for him next to his bedroom, so he had Dundun put all the clothes there and then took Atal to tidy them up.

"look!"

Junming excitedly opened the door, revealing the entire walk-in closet to Ata.

The wardrobe is neatly arranged, and opposite it is a mirror that takes up an entire wall, with all kinds of clothes divided into sections.

The clothes I bought today don't even take up a tenth of my wardrobe.

Atal had never had a walk-in closet of this size in his own home before.

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"I don't need that much space."

Atal hesitated and looked at Jun Ming.

Jun Ming stepped forward and gently put his arm around Atal's shoulder, making him stand facing the mirror, guiding Atal to look at himself in the mirror.

"How could that be?"

"These are so few clothes, how can they possibly fill this wardrobe to the brim?"

"Atar is so handsome, we can't let his good looks go to waste, we have to dress him up properly."

Atal looked at himself in the mirror, his silver hair and red eyes, a symbol of atavism, had always been seen as an ominous sign.

However, a male insect might say that she is beautiful.

Perhaps it's because Junming has just returned to the main star, so he doesn't know what the atavistic genes represent.

Atal made up his mind to give Jun Ming a proper explanation.

"My lord, do you know why I have silver hair and red eyes that my female father doesn't have?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Ming was immediately puzzled.

"Silver hair and red eyes?"

"Isn't it a normal color?"

A bitter feeling welled up in Atar's heart; the male insect was indeed completely unaware of this.

"Silver hair and red eyes are characteristics that only female insects with atavistic genes possess."

Jun Ming raised an eyebrow in surprise, as if it was the first time he had heard such a term.

"Atavistic genes?"

It seems that none of the information Jun Ming collected mentioned the term "atavism gene".

Jun Ming searched his memory and confirmed that he had never seen this word before.

"Female insects with atavistic genes are usually regarded as ominous and are shunned by all insects."

"My male father rejected me because I had obvious atavistic genes, and even kicked out my female father who gave birth to me."

Upon hearing this, Jun Ming's face paled for a moment.

Through the mirror in front of him, Atal noticed Jun Ming's reaction and understood.

[Indeed, no insect can resist the pull of ancestral genes.]

However, before that, he was still treated with such respect by a male insect, which was quite a bonus.

Atal thought to himself, trying to find some humor in his misery.

"So, will this so-called atavistic gene have any adverse effects on Atal's body?"

Jun Ming thought about it carefully. Looking at Atal, apart from the obviously different hair and eye color, it seemed that there was not much difference in his physical functions.

The only difference was that Jun Ming felt Atar was stronger than almost all the female insects he had ever seen.

After taking a close look at Atal for the first time, Jun Ming knew that it would be a foolish thing to stand against Atal.

Even Jun Ming cannot guarantee a 100% victory when facing Atar.

It's not just about force, but also about strategy.

Jun Ming's first impression of Atal was that he was someone who would always be able to strategize and plan ahead, no matter what happened on the battlefield.

Therefore, Junming dared not imagine what kind of impact this so-called atavistic gene would have on Atal.

Even the slightest imperfection makes one feel heartbroken.

Atal didn't experience the expected disgust; instead, he received a genuine expression of concern.

Atal was stunned, not expecting Jun Ming to react this way.

Before his mind could process it, he opened his mouth to respond.

"Female insects with atavistic genes generally have higher mental strength than ordinary female insects, but they are also more prone to losing control of their mental strength than ordinary female insects."

"Historically, most female insects with atavistic genes died from riots and insect transformation after their mental powers went out of control."

"That's why everyone hates female insects with atavistic genes. Because we are always an uncertain factor threatening social security."

Atal lowered his eyes, his expression forlorn.

A chill emanated from him, gradually enveloping him, as if he had fallen into some kind of negative emotion.

"In that case, Atal has nothing to worry about."

Jun Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Atal's words. It was merely a matter of mental energy loss; he could completely help Atal resolve it.

Jun Ming's words pulled Atar out of his deep emotional turmoil.

"...What?"

Atal looked up blankly, glancing at Junming beside him through the mirror.

"I can completely suppress and resolve your loss of mental control, so it won't threaten you."

"If this problem is solved, will this atavistic gene have no negative impact on Atal at all?"

Theoretically speaking... that's how it is.

but......

"My lord, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lose control of my mental power and fall into a mindless, insect-like state? Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"

"The inhibition ring isn't around my neck anymore, so there's nothing to protect you from."

"As long as I use my mental power, my mental power outage level will increase by one point. No matter how many times you try to calm me down with your mental power, my mental power outage is like a bottomless pit."

"It will never be filled."

Atal, his voice trembling, once again explained in detail the reasons for the female insect's loss of control due to the atavistic genes.

It seemed as if he was telling Junming about his unusual nature, wanting to push Junming further away, but at the same time, it seemed as if he hoped that Junming could get closer to him regardless of everything.

"It's okay."

"It's okay."

Jun Ming reached out and stroked the back of Atal's head, soothing him like petting a cat.

"This is not a big problem."

"I can provide spiritual comfort to Atal for the rest of my life, until the last day of my life."

"Atar is my pride."

"You must believe in me, and you must believe in yourself."

A deep sense of confusion and bewilderment flashed in Atar's eyes.

"...Why?"

Atal murmured.

"What?"

Jun Ming did not hear what Atar was saying.

"Why are you so good to me?"

Jun Ming sighed. Before this, if someone had told him that female insects like Atar felt extremely insecure, Jun Ming would never have believed it.

But now, Junming has to admit that beneath Atar's cold and aloof exterior lies a heart that has been deeply broken.

He was confused, he trembled, and he dared not trust anyone easily.

Because he had been deeply hurt in the past.
