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

"See? I wasn't lying to you."

"And to this day, I still don't know what that 'Nanling Club' is."

After hearing Jun Ming's words, Atal gradually calmed down, but his body, which had been terrified and whose hands and feet were ice-cold, still did not warm up.

"Atar, please sit down."

Junming helped Atal, whose emotions were fluctuating wildly, to sit on the sofa, and then asked Dundun to bring him a cup of hot water.

Junming took the hot water from Dundun's hand, placed the cup in Atal's palm, and closed his palms to envelop Atal's hands along with the cup.

Then he squatted down in front of Atar.

"Don't be nervous, Atal, take a deep breath."

"This is at home, it's safe."

When Atal finally came to his senses, he found Jun Ming squatting in front of him, comforting him.

"Rise, my lord."

Atal quickly reached out and helped Jun Ming up. Jun Ming followed Atal's help and sat down on the sofa, sitting close to Atal.

"Atal, can you tell me what's wrong with that place? What made you suddenly lose control of your emotions like this?"

Jun Ming was genuinely frightened by Atal's distraught state just now, and he didn't dare to say the words "Nanling Club" directly anymore.

Atal then spoke hesitantly.

"Nanling Club is an affiliated organization established in accordance with the many rules of the Xiongbao Association."

"It is mainly used to teach female insects and to conduct training for male insects."

"The teachings... all teach the male insects how to treat the females in the household, etc."

"Many male insects will go there specifically to 'study' and say they want to learn 'new technologies'."

"Many male insects who didn't like that kind of thing also gradually became interested in things that would harm the female insects after going there."

"Moreover, Nanling Club is also the largest tool production base. It is said that there are tens of thousands of tools registered there, and new tools are still being designed and produced continuously."

"There are also many unloved female insects who, in order to win the favor of their male masters, voluntarily go to the Nanling Club for instruction."

"Either the male insect is personally sent to the Nanling Club by his master, and the male insect will tell you in detail where he wants to modify the female insect, and the Nanling Club will modify her."

After saying all this, Atar was already somewhat exhausted, which shows how many female insects had become nightmares at the Nanling Club.

Upon hearing this, Jun Ming frowned, his eyes filled with anger and sympathy.

He couldn't imagine the suffering those female insects endured at the Nanling Club, nor could he accept that such cruel behavior was considered normal.

"This is absolutely outrageous and beyond redemption."

Atal sighed softly, "In the Nanling Club, female insects are merely a resource, a tool to satisfy the desires of male insects."

Atar lowered his eyes, his voice low.

"My lord...do you really... have to go?"

Seeing Atal's pitiful state, Jun Ming felt a pang of sympathy. He initially wanted to agree to Atal's request and find an excuse not to go to the male insect exchange meeting. However, upon further reflection, he remembered Atal's true purpose in going to the Nanling Club.

He was going to punish Holden, and also test whether his hypnotic mental powers still worked on male insects, and then check how well his mental powers had recovered.

"Atar, I assure you, I have important business to attend to there this time."

"I understand all your concerns. I know it won't be very convincing for me to say this now, but Atal, you have to believe me."

"I will prove with my actions that I am different from the male insects on the main planet."

Jun Ming kissed Atar's trembling eyelashes, wiping away the tear that was about to fall.

Atar knew his request was unreasonable; the activities of the Male Protection Association were never something that males or females could refuse.

He had expected Jun Ming to reprimand him for being unreasonable, but he did not expect Jun Ming to react in this way after hearing his words.

[Luckily I knew beforehand, so I had enough time to prepare mentally. I had already prepared for the worst, which was that you would turn bad.]

Atar felt that he was still lucky.

Regardless of whether Jun Ming will be infected with the savagery and depravity of male insects after going to Nanling Club, at least he knew Jun Ming's movements in advance, which gave him enough time to build up his mental expectations and accept the worst outcome.

"I believe in a powerful leader."

What else can Atal say besides this?

Judging from Atal's tone, Jun Ming knew that Atal didn't have much confidence when he said those words.

After hearing Atar's introduction, Jun Ming knew how terrifying Nanling Club must be in the eyes of the female insects.

Atar's decades-long accumulation of fear and aversion to male insects meant that it was already quite remarkable that he could have such a series of intimate encounters with Junming.

We cannot force Atal's trust.

After all, the premise of trust is that Junming provides him with enough security.

Atal is now finding it difficult to even rely on Jun Ming, let alone get a sense of security from him.

The road to winning back his wife is long and arduous.

However, Jun Ming was not discouraged.

If Atal feels insecure, then try to create a sense of security for him; if Atal still has some doubts about his words, then use practical actions to dispel Atal's doubts.

"Alright, Atal."

"Let's go eat first."

"No matter what tomorrow brings, we must eat dinner as usual tonight."

Atal then realized that Dundun had repeatedly told him to take good care of Junming's stomach, but he had been interrupted and barely ate any dinner.

When we got back to the table, the food was a little cold.

Atal quickly stopped Jun Ming from eating.

"My lord, I'll go heat up the food. Eating cold food is bad for your health."

Atar forced down his unease, took the somewhat cold food to the kitchen, and reheated it.

Jun Ming sat at the dining table, deep in thought. He didn't withdraw his mental energy from Atal, keeping a close eye on him, afraid that something might happen to Atal.

Before long, Atar returned to the table with the reheated food.

Junming put some food on Atar's plate.

"Atar, eat quickly, don't think too much."

Sensing Jun Ming's concern for him, Atal pursed his lips and forced a smile at Jun Ming.

"Even the male ruler eats."

The atmosphere at dinner was a little heavy this time. Atal was less lively, but he still answered every question and made sure Jun Ming's words were heard.

"Atal, will you come again tonight to let me see your spiritual sea?"

After finishing his meal, Jun Ming suddenly remembered this matter and asked Atal about it.
