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

When an insect is eating alone and there are no other insects around, it always eats very quickly.

Junming had tried his best to control his eating speed, but he still ate very quickly.

Seeing that Atal had rested enough, and not wanting to delay Atal's work, Junming quickly suggested ending the video call.

"Attal, work hard. Remember to message me when you're almost done working so I can pick you up early."

Atar nodded in agreement, and the two insects then ended the video call.

Atal spent another busy afternoon reviewing official documents.

After Jun Ming escorted Atar to the military headquarters and returned home, he felt a little restless.

Upon arriving in the Zerg, Junming was treated as a useless male Zergling who couldn't lift a finger or do anything heavy. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a thrilling battle.

Although Junming still enjoys a "retirement" lifestyle, his body, which is used to intense exercise, is finding it quite difficult to suddenly become lazy.

So I simply practiced my martial arts in the yard for a while.

He also instructed Dundun to tidy up and prepare to renovate a training room.

It was specifically used to loosen up his muscles and bones.

When it was lunchtime, I video-called Atal again, secretly hid some photos, and quickly ate lunch under Atal's watchful eye before hanging up.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, and having just taken a shower before lunch, Junming didn't feel like exercising anymore, so he instructed Dundun to wake him up on time and then go for a nap.

When it comes to retirement... you have to have the right attitude towards retirement.

Jun Ming, half asleep, thought to himself.

After a long afternoon nap, Junming was woken up on time by Dundun. Junming stretched and rested for a while before getting out of bed.

Such sleep quality is unthinkable on Earth; it's absolutely impossible.

With some time to spare before Atal's shift ended, Junming, having nothing else to do, began designing jewelry.

How about we try getting a bracelet...?

Just as I was struggling with this, the chat window with Atal lit up.

"My lord, I've almost finished dealing with all the backlog of work. I can leave on time in half an hour."

Upon seeing the message, Jun Ming jumped out of bed.

After quickly getting ready, Jun Ming went out.

After thinking about it, I changed the location to flower shop.

This was the second time the florist had served Junming, and he wasn't as nervous as before.

"Your Excellency, you've arrived."

"Who...is this one for?"

The florist asked cautiously, afraid of offending the male insect by asking the wrong question.

"Still that female soldier."

Jun Ming sensed the florist's probing, but didn't bother to argue, since it was just a stereotype of philandering male insects among the Zerg.

"I'd like to pick some flowers and arrange them myself, is that okay?"

The florist naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Of course, please do as you wish."

The male insect was very generous to the female insect, and it was even the same female. I was a little envious of that hard female insect. I wondered who was so lucky to win the favor of the male insect.

Jun Ming remained unaffected, still engrossed in assembling his bouquet.

Today, I prepared light blue and pink flowers for Atal.

Junming disliked elaborate packaging, so he cut the flower stems and leaves short, confining them and leaving them with no freedom whatsoever.

Therefore, Junming specially chose flowers with long stems and leaves, removed the complicated wrapping paper, and simply tied the flower stems with the simplest ribbon.

Without the constraints of wrapping paper, the bouquet appears very free, spreading out and bending and curving as it pleases.

The feeling of freedom.

Junming refused the florist's offer to add an extra layer of wrapping paper.

"That's fine."

Without any hesitation, he quickly paid. There were no unnecessary wrapping papers. Junming could hold the bouquet steadily with just one hand holding the stem.

Jun Ming positioned the starship at the entrance of Atal's military headquarters. The autopilot-equipped starship, carrying Jun Ming and the bouquet he had given to Atal, quickly arrived at the entrance of Atal's military headquarters.

Atal hadn't come out yet. Jun Ming had set off early and was very quick with his picking of flowers, so there was still some time before Atal finished get off work.

Jun Ming simply sat in the starship, waiting for Atal to finish his shift.

Perhaps the wait was a bit long, because Junming's starship, which had been parked at the military gate for an extended period, attracted the attention of the female soldiers on guard.

"Hello, starships are not allowed to be parked in front of the military compound for extended periods. Please leave as soon as possible."

The female soldier on guard assumed the starship was piloted by a female insect, so her tone was very serious, carrying a hint of expulsion.

Upon hearing this, Jun Ming knew that staying put was no longer an option.

He had no choice but to open the starship door with the bouquet in his hand.

"Male...Male Insect Lord!"

When the starship opened its door and a male insect stood inside, the female soldier who had come to drive it away was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

What did he just say...?

The female soldier was secretly annoyed, fearing that if the male insect in front of her got upset, he would complain to the Male Protection Association, and the association would accuse him of provoking a male insect, ruining his life.

"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry. I did not know that it was your starship that offended you."

Please forgive me!

The female soldier lowered her head, almost burying herself in it.

Jun Ming didn't feel offended. This was the female soldier's job, which he fully understood, and he didn't intend to make things difficult for her.

"It's okay, I didn't feel offended at all."

"I'm waiting here for my female attendant to finish her shift. I'm not very good at piloting starships yet, so is it alright to leave the starship here for a while?"

"If it's really in the way, I can temporarily transfer control to you, and you can help me park it in a suitable position."

Junming actively inquired and tried to find a solution.

The female soldier on guard was stunned when Jun Ming uttered his first words.

What is this male insect saying?

...Is it okay?

Is this something a male insect would say?

Although she was shocked, the female was still somewhat relieved that the male was good-natured and that she had escaped a disaster.

"You don't need to change locations; you can stay as long as you like."

Despite feeling a mix of emotions, the female soldier still answered Jun Ming's question.

"Who are you here to pick up? Should I announce your arrival?"

As she spoke, the female soldier sighed, marveling at how lucky she was to have such a loving and caring male lord.

The male insect is also quite handsome.

"That's good."

Jun Ming wasn't too surprised by what he heard, after all, he was a male insect and had many "privileges".

"No need to announce it, I'll just wait here for a while. I've already sent a message."

Jun Ming did not want to disrupt Atar's plans because of himself, so he preferred to wait a little longer.

It's not a big deal anyway.
