Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

After seeing Lan Yang off, Yan Mo went to find Lu Yao.

"Brother Yan, there's a banquet tomorrow hosted by Lieutenant General Bart of the Third Army. It's his lord's birthday, and the generals from the four major legions will all be there to offer their congratulations. The Marshal's Mansion has been trying to win over the Third Army, so Anlu will definitely be there."

Yan Mo nodded and said calmly, "Okay, I'll go by myself tomorrow. You can continue working at the association."

Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, then refused, "No, Brother Yan, let me go with you!"

Yan Mo stared intently at Lu Yao: "What are you going to do? If you continue to go to An Luo with this attitude, you'll only alert her."

Lu Yao's eyes reddened. He paused, then solemnly promised, "Brother Yan, please let me go. I'll control my emotions. If I see An Luo tomorrow, and you tell me to go east, I absolutely won't go west!"

Yan Mo remained silent.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Lu Yao felt awkward and aggrieved, and said, "I will apologize to Lan Yang."

Yan Mo then softened his tone: "I know you're worried about An Qing, but it has nothing to do with Lan Yang. He's even trying to help us, he just mentioned the worst possible outcome..."

Hearing Yan Mo say "the worst possible outcome," Lu Yao felt his eyes start to sting again.

He knew he had gone too far, but at the time he was only thinking about An Qing and didn't want anything to happen to her.

Looking back now, Lu Yao also feels a little guilty towards Lan Yang.

Yan Mo finally agreed to go to the banquet with Lu Yao.

That evening, Lan Ze contacted Yan Mo.

"I heard that His Excellency Anqing has gone missing."

Lan Ze received the news from Lan Yang.

Yan Mo nodded; he was also preparing to look for Lan Ze.

"If this was done by the Flame Society, then An Qing, like the other missing male insects, might have been kidnapped by the Flame Society and taken to their base. In that case, the Flame Society members who kidnapped An Qing are very likely to arrive at Star 1347 in the next few days."

Lan Ze nodded.

"Don't worry, there's a high chance that Star 1347 is the stronghold of the Flame Society. If the Flame Society really did kidnap him, he should be safe before entering the laboratory."

"We have locked down and monitored the entire planet 1347. Any suspicious spaceships that approach will be immediately taken control by the Fourth Army."

Yan Mo nodded and then told him about Lan Yang's suspicions.

"Lu Yao and I will go to see An Luo tomorrow to see if we can find any clues."

Lan Ze looked at Yan Mo with a gentle expression: "My lord, please be careful!"

Yan Mo relaxed his brows and eyes, and softly hummed in agreement.

Long Feather Star.

An underground bar.

A female insect with slightly dark skin, dressed in a waitress uniform, carried several bottles of wine to a booth.

Several tall female insects were sitting in the booth.

These female insects have various knife scars, whip marks, burns, etc. on their faces and exposed skin. Judging from the condition of the scars, they are almost all old wounds.

According to the female insect's constitution, ordinary wounds will not leave scars as long as they are healed in time with mental energy.

The presence of so many scars can only mean that after the female insects were injured, they were locked with mental energy, preventing them from using their mental energy to heal. They had to endure the pain and wait for the wounds to heal on their own, which resulted in the scars we see today.

Sitting among these female insects is a scantily clad male insect. This male insect's pheromone level is only F, and he is a male insect known as "Young Master" who works as a hostess in a bar.

An Qing carried the wine to the booth and placed the tray on the table in the middle. Before she could even stand up, she was pulled into the arms of a female insect with a scar on her face.

"ah--"

An Qing exclaimed in surprise.

west Ming tore open the shirt at the back of his neck and saw the insect pattern on the back of his neck. He sullenly pushed the insect away.

"A female insect?"

An Qing composed herself and smiled apologetically at west Ming, "I'm sorry, sir."

Another female insect nearby burst into laughter: "Ximing, you've misjudged him. With that size, I also thought he was a male..."

An Qing touched the insect pattern on the back of her neck, lowered her head, and seemed a little sad: "When my female father was pregnant with me, he was disciplined by my male father, which caused me to be born prematurely. Although I barely survived, I was genetically defective and could not use my mental power, and I also could not grow tall."

An Qing's words did not arouse the suspicion of these female insects. There is indeed a group of female insects in the insect race whose physical condition is even worse than that of male insects due to genetic defects.

west Ming's eyes seemed to be laced with poison.

"What kind of bullshit father figure is he? That vile worm ruined you like this, and you still call him father figure?"

An Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking of An Hong. Seeing west Ming staring at her, she quickly went along with Xi Ming's wishes and angrily cursed, "Yes, you bastard, that bastard is not worthy of being my father."

After cursing, An Qing suddenly felt a bit good. Without west Ming forcing her, she cursed An Hong several times in various ways.

west Ming was satisfied and waved to An Qing: "Alright, go and open those bottles of wine for us."

An Qing nodded, stepped back to the table, picked up the corkscrew, and slowly opened the bottle of wine that had just been brought over.

One of the female insects hugged the male insect who was serving drinks, calling him "Young Master," and playfully pinched him.

"Good boy, if you've served me well today, I'll give you plenty of star coins."

The male insect nestled in the female's embrace, giving her a charming smile.

An Qing secretly glanced over and saw that this scene was no different from the female slaves fawning over the male insects on the capital planet.

Seeing this, another female insect spat and cursed, "Damn it, what kind of bullshit male insect is he? Even if I have money, he'll still be despicable in front of me."

The male insect "Young Master" looked unpleasant for a moment. He rolled his eyes at the female insect. Although he was a prostitute, he was still a male insect. It was just that because his pheromone level was too low, the money he earned from marrying female masters and servants was not enough for him to spend, so he came to this underground bar to earn some pocket money.

This doesn't mean he can be insulted by a female insect and still smile obsequiously. He's still highly sought after as a "young master" in this underground bar.

The female insect holding him immediately coaxed, "Don't take it to heart, he's just asking for it. Little beauty, where are the other 'young masters' in this bar? Introduce him to one, so he won't get jealous."

The male insect gave a coquettish "humph".

"Where are the other males? I don't know if they've all found rich men or what, but none of them are coming anymore."

Upon hearing this, the female insect exchanged a glance with the other female insects.

Then he looked at the male insect with an ambiguous expression, "Young Master".

"Hey beautiful, let's go somewhere else to have some fun."

The male insect understood the female insect's meaning and its gaze swept over several female insects.

"You guys together? Sure, but it'll cost extra Star Coins."

An Qing quietly left the booth and hid herself in the shadows.

Three days ago, An Qing noticed something was wrong on the spaceship heading to a first-class planet in the Epha Starfield.

The crew members on that spaceship seemed to be watching him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

At first, he also thought it was that underground research institute that had been kidnapping male insects recently, but later he found that they were only targeting him and ignoring the other male insects on the spaceship. At that time, there was a B-level male insect with a higher pheromone level on the spaceship.

If it's an underground research institute, it would be more valuable to focus on the B-grade male insect.
