Cheng Chu knew Mikel would be busy lately, but he didn't expect him to be this busy.
He said he would be home late that night, but after he finished washing up, he waited in bed until midnight and fell asleep, but he still didn't come back.
If he hadn't seen signs of someone sleeping on the other side of the bed when he woke up in the morning, he would have thought Mikel hadn't come back.
When Mikel saw Marshal Anaos again after half a month, it felt like a long time had passed; it seemed like he hadn't seen Marshal Anaos for a very long time.
"Good, good, good." Marshal Anaos looked Mikel up and down, his expression growing increasingly satisfied. He nodded repeatedly and praised, "Mikel, you look exceptionally good, very energetic."
Mikel showed none of the weakness and exhaustion often seen in pregnant females after childbirth, nor did she exhibit the unspeakable numbness and despair. It seemed she was living a good life, receiving neither the soothing and nurturing energy of male insects nor being whipped by them.
"Marshal, I'm sorry to have troubled you." Mikel lowered his head, feeling a strange pang of sadness in his heart.
Mikel was protected by his stepfather when he was young, and after his stepfather passed away, he was protected by Marshal Anaos. He was unfortunate in the former case, but fortunate in the latter.
"Oh, don't say that," Marshal Anaos waved his hand, his smile very amiable. He asked, "Mikel, once things settle down, when will I have some free time to visit your house and see your insect eggs?"
Mikel nodded slightly and replied, "Alright, Marshal, you can come whenever you like."
Marshal Anaos sat in his office chair, rubbed his chin a few times, and then asked with some concern, "If I go, won't I disturb your male insect at home?"
Male insects are very possessive and generally do not like other insects entering or leaving their habitat. The more advanced the male, the stronger its possessiveness.
Therefore, Marshal Anaos rarely visited other insects' homes. Even after Mikel's marriage had lasted for so long, he had never paid a visit. He had only met his lord once, on their wedding day, and then exchanged a few words with him during a video call.
Knowing Marshal Anaos's concerns, Mikel looked at him earnestly and said, "Marshal, no, my lord will welcome you very much."
While male insects don't like going out, they don't seem to mind visitors. Of course, this excludes those working for the Male Insect Protection Association and those with ulterior motives. Mikel didn't see anything else the male insects would object to.
"Well, that's good." Marshal Anaos picked up his cup and took a sip. He continued, "Mikel, you can rest assured now that you're back. The new Insect Emperor won't do anything to your lord again."
Mikel said, "Marshal, I don't understand."
Because of the special abilities of his male insects and their connection with the Holy Vine, both the deceased Insect Emperor and the current new Insect Emperor are eyeing him covetously.
Why was Marshal Anaos so certain that the new Insect Emperor would no longer make things difficult for his male insects?
Marshal Anaos looked at Mikel and said meaningfully, "Even if he wanted to, he would have to have the ability, and he would need to have insects that listen to him."
A puppet insect emperor, not even allowed to leave the palace, can't cause any trouble.
Akkas, being a female insect, lacks the special abilities of the royal insect emperor. Cheng Chu's abilities are completely useless to him.
Moreover, the situation has now stabilized. The Zerg have been dominated by the males for too long, and the females have been oppressed for too long. Akorcas chose to do all this, to come to this point. Marshal Anaos was certain that Akorcas would not choose to break the agreement at this juncture, offend the K2 Legion, offend him, and destroy this balance.
Marshal Anaos concluded, "As long as Akokas doesn't want to, he can't do anything."
Mikel quickly grasped the cause and effect, and he stood up respectfully, saying, "I understand, Marshal. Thank you."
Mikel knew all too well that things weren't as easy as Marshal Anaos made them out to be. Marshal Anaos must have put a lot of effort into the deal with him and the male insect.
Even though Marshal Anaos didn't say anything, Mikel couldn't really pretend he didn't know.
"Hmm," Marshal Anaos said, "So, even if you're very busy now, you don't need to stay at the Legion and not go home. Your lord is not in danger, and you don't need to hide."
"Yes, Marshal."

Mikel has been working long hours lately.
Several times when I returned home late at night, the male insects were already asleep, and the eggs were lying in the incubator next to the bed.
The incubator emitted a soft green light, and there was a dim yellow night light on the side of the bed specifically for the male insects.
After washing away the dust, Mikel, with her hair down, tiptoed to bed. Despite being very careful, she still woke up the male insect.
Cheng Chu opened her dazed eyes and wrapped her arms around Mikel's waist. She mumbled indistinctly, "Wife, you're back."
"Yes, I'm back." Mikel hugged the male insect back, stroking his hair as she asked, "Master, did I wake you?"
It was already late at night, and Mikel spoke in a very soft tone.
"Hmm..." Cheng Chu shook his head. He was much more awake now, and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I slept too much during the day, so I woke up."
While Mikel was busy, Cheng Chu took good care of himself and the insect egg, and tried his best not to cause Mikel any trouble. Seeing Mikel so busy every day, he felt sorry for him, but he couldn't help much. He could only try his best to take care of the family and not hold Mikel back.
"You're so tired, go to sleep." Cheng Chu gently patted Mikel's back, coaxing him to sleep in a soft voice.
As Mikel listened to the male insect's gentle coaxing, her mind and body gradually relaxed, the emotions she had accumulated during the day slowly dissipated, and she soon closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Cheng Chu looked at the sleeping female insect, pecked it on the forehead, and then fell asleep as well.
Within days, the StarNet was bombarded with a series of bombshell news.
As is well known, each insect emperor brings some changes upon ascending to the throne.
However, most of them are similar, and even if there are changes, they won't change much.
However, the decrees issued by this new insect emperor are exceptionally absurd.
It's a situation where the male insect is dissatisfied, while the female insect is pleased...
