The mecha piloted by Mu Huaye was not much different from the mechas of other Federation generals.

They are almost identical, except for the pattern symbolizing the commander-in-chief.

And this pattern was also cleverly concealed by someone who applied a light coating before going into battle.

Thus, on the desolate planet in the chaos after the war, one could see a Federation mech slowly moving towards the Imperial general, raising its mechanical arm and waving in a very friendly manner.

—Hey, old rival, long time no see.

Jiang Ting: "..." You're sick.

He really didn't want to admit that he actually understood it.

Only Mu Huaye would do something so despicable.

Mu Huaye withdrew the mechanical arm from Mu Huaye's gaze, which looked at him as if he were an idiot, and maneuvered the mecha to stop in front of him.

He looked Jiang Ting up and down carefully. "I've finished fighting, so I came to have a chat with you."

Soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield around him, all covered in dust and dirt, but Jiang Ting was much cleaner.

He frowned slightly, seemingly a little impatient.

"What are you going to talk about?"

Upon hearing that dismissive and indifferent tone, Mu Huaye finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.

As expected, Jiang Zhixia hadn't told anyone about the contract yet, or rather, she hadn't discovered it.

Otherwise, Jiang Ting would have already turned around, jumped onto the mecha, and fired a shot at him.

He knew that if he encountered Jiang Ting on the battlefield, Jiang Ting would recognize him at a glance, based on their many past encounters.

Therefore, he resolutely refused to dismount from the mecha, fearing that Jiang Ting already knew that he and his female master had formed a contract by accident, and would beat him to death as soon as he saw him.

He won't die, but he'll be in pain.

Jiang Ting is definitely SSS-level; his hits really hurt!

Fortunately, he doesn't know that Jiang Zhixia hasn't told anyone.

Mu Huaye had just breathed a sigh of relief when another wave of nausea rose within him, leaving him with a bitter taste in his mouth.

She didn't tell anyone, was it because she didn't know, or was there some other reason?

They already knew, but didn't say anything?

Is it because she doesn't care? Doesn't want to admit it? Or... does she think he's embarrassing?

He shook off those random thoughts and got down to business.

"What do you plan to do with the queen insect you captured?"

Jiang Ting wasn't surprised at all when he heard the sound coming from the mecha's loudspeaker in front of him.

He uttered a single word calmly: "Kill."

He had already thought it all through the moment he caught the insect queen.

Even if it's related to one's biological mother... it doesn't matter.

People cannot be brought back to life after they die, and the past is the past, but this insect queen must not live any longer.

The only reason for sending her back now is to interrogate her about where she devoured so many females.

Mu Huaye was taken aback.

That's straightforward enough.

That's just like Jiang Ting's style.

That's right, if that scourge from the past doesn't die, it will eventually make a comeback.

Once she's dead, my mission will be complete...

I just don't know which version of myself will remain in this body when the time comes.

He forced a smile and nodded dryly, "Okay, then hurry up."

Hearing the sudden disappointment in his voice, Jiang Ting finally looked at him properly: "You came all this way just to ask this?"

Mu Huaye froze.

Uh... not entirely.

He wanted to come and see if Jiang Zhixia had discovered the contract.

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat awkwardly, his tone lightening again. "We've been rivals for a while now, but instead of fighting each other, we've cooperated. How does it feel?"

Jiang Ting silently looked away.

"not bad."

Mu Huaye's eyes darted around, and he moved closer.

"Right? I think it's great too. We're allies now, right?"

"Um."

"Well, now that the war is over and the two countries are cooperating, we don't need to be so deadlocked anymore, right?"

Jiang Ting frowned as he watched the mecha approaching. "...What exactly are you trying to say?"

Mu Huaye: "...Shouldn't you retrieve that thing for me?"

Jiang Ting suddenly realized.

Oh, slave chips.

The Imperial General remained expressionless. "I don't have control, why are you asking me?"

Mu Huaye: "..."

He was so annoyed.

Control is in Jiang Zhixia's hands.

But the person he least wants to face right now is Jiang Zhixia.

He took a deep breath, trying to persuade him one last time: "Then you..."

"We haven't settled the score for your escape from the Empire yet," Jiang Ting interrupted him impatiently. "Don't forget, you still have an artificial scale on you that the Empire spent a huge amount of money to make. It's just a slave chip. What are you afraid of? She won't kill you."

Mu Huaye was stunned.

He pondered the sentence carefully.

Yes, it's highly unlikely that Jiang Zhixia would kill him.

At most, it'll be because of the contract, or because of that intimate moment, that she'll give him a good scolding, or beat him up, or hate him even more, and then never speak to him again...

Tsk...it doesn't seem to be much better.

Feeling even more suffocated, Mu Huaye touched his chest, wondering if he was sick.

Why does the thought of her hating me make me feel so bad?

Suddenly, a figure came running from a distance.

Mu Huaye glanced at it and subconsciously fell silent.

It was Lu Jue.

"Admiral! Preparations for the return journey are almost complete. Let's board the warship!"

Lu Jue jogged over to Jiang Ting's side, gave the Federation mech a strange look, and then asked in a low voice.

"The war's over, and this Federation commander is holed up in his mech, coming to chat with you? You two know each other? Are you close?"

Jiang Ting: "..."

This little wolf cub is incredibly oblivious to everything except matters concerning Jiang Zhixia.

How many times have you beaten up Mu Huaye and fought with him? How come you didn't recognize him?

He simply said, "Think about it yourself."

Then he turned around and walked towards the support warship.

Lu Jue stared at his retreating figure, utterly bewildered.

What's gotten into you again?

He wouldn't have come if the female master hadn't asked him to send Jiang Ting away.

Mu Huaye remained silent, puzzled.

Why are you shutting your mouth? This is Lu Jue, not Jiang Zhixia!

It's all because subconsciously I felt that Lu Jue was more likely to beat him up than Jiang Ting!

Watching Jiang Ting leave, Mu Huaye pouted in disappointment.

He had no intention of speaking to Lu Jue and was maneuvering his mech to prepare to retreat back to the Federation camp.

As soon as I turned around, I bumped into a pair of bright, dazzling eyes.

It's Jiang Zhixia.

"!!"

Mu Huaye's heart nearly jumped out of his chest in fright.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the Federation mecha with a smile, "Hi~"

Mu Huaye's back was tense with nervousness.

She didn't recognize me, did she? She probably wouldn't recognize me, right?

With so many Federation mechs around, she probably didn't hear me when I spoke...

Jiang Zhixia saw the mecha in front of her freeze, and guessed it pretty much.

That's definitely that snake!!

Well, they actually dared to swagger back!

Why did they run back to the Federation? Are they really that willing to risk their lives for the Federation?

He suffered so much at the hands of Qiao Yan and Qiao Mo, and after finally recovering, he turned around and ran back!

Let's see how she deals with this snake today!

She smiled politely and said, "Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, you fought well in this battle. Your Federation performed very well this time."

Mu Huaye didn't know what she meant, so he didn't dare to move.

Jiang Zhixia continued, "Now that the war is over, we are allies. As the princess of the Empire, I invite you to visit the Empire. What do you say?"

Inside the cockpit, Mu Huaye's Adam's apple bobbed.

Not very good!

But he dared not say it.

The moment he opened his mouth, Jiang Zhixia could immediately recognize it was him.

Jiang Zhixia waited for two seconds, and seeing that the mecha did not move at all, her smile deepened.

"Silence means consent."

She turned her head, and Lu Jue raised his chin.

Lu Jue understood immediately. Although he didn't know why, he never questioned the female master about what she wanted to do.

Besides, being invited by the princess to visit the empire is practically giving the Federation commander-in-chief a huge honor!

He strode forward, grabbed the mech with one hand, and exerted force.

"boom--"

He dragged that huge mech with one hand towards the Imperial support warship.

Mu Huaye nearly lost his balance in the cockpit: "??!"

That savage wolf cub!

He piloted the mecha, wanting to shake off Lu Jue, which would have been easy, but he dared not.

If you hurt her beastly husband in front of Jiang Zhixia, she can drag you out and beat you up on the spot!

Adding to the previous debts... it wasn't just one meal.

Torn between his thoughts, he hesitated to make a move and was dragged away by Lu Jue in despair.

The surrounding federal generals were all dumbfounded.

"Wait! Lieutenant!"

A federal general, steeling himself, rushed forward and blocked Jiang Zhixia's path, his face grim: "You're taking our commander away... isn't that inappropriate?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixia shouted at the top of her lungs at the mecha that was being dragged away, "Commander of the Federation, you don't want this?"

Inside the cockpit, Mu Huaye was about to make a move.

Then I heard her sigh, her tone disappointed: "If you don't want to, you can just say so. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? I thought you did. How about this, if you do, just nod. If you don't, just say it. I'm listening."

Mech: "..."

Mu Huaye gritted his teeth in the cockpit.

Did she recognize him?!

Did Jiang Ting tell her? Or did she guess it herself?!

Jiang Zhixia waited a few seconds, and seeing that the mecha remained silent, she clapped her hands in satisfaction: "Silence means consent."

She turned to the livid federal general and said, "Your commander-in-chief has already agreed, so what's wrong with that? Unless the leader disagrees, why don't we trouble the federal leader to come to the Empire in person to demand the person?"

Then Chong Lujue waved his hand.

Lu Jue accepted the order and dragged the mecha away.

Jiang Zhixia lifted her foot to follow.

Federal General: "..."
