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

Atal walked steadily to his office, receiving many glances from his subordinates along the way.

Standing in front of the office door, Atar raised his hand and touched the plaque that read "General's Office." He tried to hold back, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. The office was exactly as he had left it, with everything placed in its familiar spot.

Atal walked slowly into the office, silently tidying up, and took out some things that he had put away earlier.

"General!"

You hear the sound before you see the insect.

Although Adjutant Taylor already knew yesterday that Atal would be returning to his post today, he was still very excited to see Atal back in person.

"General, you're really back!"

Taylor jogged all the way to Atal's office and said happily.

"They're making such a racket; where is the composure an adjutant should have?"

Atal's subconscious reprimand.

Taylor was scolded, but she was still very happy.

He stood at attention and gave Atar a standard military salute.

"Lieutenant Taylor, welcome back, General."

Atal couldn't help but smile, infected by Taylor's joy.

"Um."

"I'm back."

Looking at Taylor, who was genuinely happy for him, Atal suddenly remembered something he had forgotten yesterday.

Yesterday, I clearly wanted to ask his master what that so-called "special fetish" of the Xiongbao Association was.

However, Atal was so engrossed in Junming's intimacy with him yesterday that he forgot about this.

She secretly noted this down, thinking she would ask Junming about it when she got back tonight.

Before Atal could exchange more than a few words with his adjutant Taylor, Monadi, the commander of the First Legion, arrived.

"It seems to be in good spirits, and doesn't look like it suffered much at the hands of the male insect."

When Monadi arrived, he looked Atal up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no obvious external injuries on Atal's exposed skin.

Upon seeing the arrival of the legion commander, Atar immediately saluted.

"Greetings, Legion Commander."

"General Atar of the First Army Corps, reporting for duty."

It wasn't until Atal turned around completely, revealing his carefully made-up appearance to Taylor and Monadi, that Monadi and Taylor were both speechless with astonishment.

"Why are you starting to braid your hair and wear earrings just for getting married?"

Monadi was understandably puzzled, since Atal had never cared about such things before and always did whatever was convenient.

But now, Atar's sparse hair on his forehead has been braided up, with several small braids hanging down the back of his head. This not only does not interfere with normal military activities, but is also very aesthetically pleasing.

Moreover, the earrings Atal was a style I'd never seen before, sparkling in the sunlight.

Even Atal became much gentler as a result.

Speaking of this, Atal blushed slightly and reached out to touch the earring that was still swaying slightly.

"These were all arranged for me by my lord."

"The earrings were made by the master himself, and the braid was braided by the master for me this morning while I was eating breakfast."

"The lord said he likes to see me like this."

Upon hearing Atal speak of his male lord, Monadi and Taylor recalled the snippets they had overheard from the Male Protection Association in the past two days.

His expression was rather intriguing.

Monadi noticed that Atal's neck was bare, his exposed wrists were smooth, and his trousers did not appear to have any ankle rings.

"You're not wearing a suppression ring?"

Monadi asked in confusion.

"The first night after we registered our marriage, the male took it off for me."

Although it was a normal retelling of the facts, Atal still carried a hint of pride in his tone.

On the one hand, Atal did not want his superiors and subordinates to have any strange misunderstandings about his lord;

On the other hand, Atal did indeed have a hint of showing off.

In the eyes of Monadi and Taylor, the male lord of Atal did this simply to enjoy Atal more easily and conveniently.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, it was the adjutant Taylor who couldn't hold back and asked indirectly:

"General, your lord... his strength isn't that great, is it?"

Atar recalled the scene from last night in the bathroom, where Junming held him in his arms with one hand on his neck and the other on his waist, leaning down to kiss him.

...Strength in the hand?

"It's...it's quite big."

The scene from last night was still vivid in his mind, and Atar blushed slightly, feeling quite shy.

However, to Legion Commander Monadi and his adjutant Taylor, Atal's blushing and stammering were clearly caused by unbearable anger and resentment.

Legion Commander Monadi gave Taylor a look, stopping Taylor from asking any further questions.

Jun Ming was thus completely misunderstood.

"No matter what, being able to come back to take up the post is the best outcome."

Monadi also breathed a huge sigh of relief when he said this.

Atal was his most prized subordinate, and if he were forced to resign because he married a male insect, Monadi would feel it was a loss for the entire legion and even the entire empire.

Monadi then recalled his biggest concern: Atal's loss of mental control.

"How did your mental energy get out of control?"

"Did you ask your lord to help appease him?"

Monadi asked, sounding slightly anxious.

"Let me see your worm-like markings."

Monadi's original intention was to check how Atal's mental power was reflected in the insect patterns. After all, Monadi had done this many times before, judging the state of Atal's mental power outage through the insect patterns.

So Monadi didn't think much of it this time.

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled open Atar's collar to check the back of his neck.

Atal dodged it by sidestepping.

"Commander!"

"I...I already have a male master...My male master doesn't like other insects looking at my insect patterns."

Monadi then realized how inappropriate his actions had been.

The news that Atar had been completely marked by his lord was reported by the Xiongbao Association yesterday.

Logically speaking, Atar's insect pattern should now be marked with Junming's unique mark. Junming is only a B-grade male insect, so his mark might not be as attractive.

Therefore, it is understandable that the male insect was concerned about the insect pattern and did not want Atar's insect pattern to be displayed in front of him.

Atar knew nothing of this. He only knew that the fact that he had no relationship with Junming could not be known by any insect. It wasn't that he didn't trust the legion commander, but that the more insects knew, the greater the risk.

With no other option, seeing that the legion commander was ready to take action, Atar could only invoke his powerful lord.

Using the excuse that Junming disliked other insects looking at his insect patterns, he rejected any insects' well-intentioned or malicious prying.
