The work at the research institute was so easy that Cheng Chu quickly adapted.

Mikel was pleased to see the male insect going out happily every day and returning cheerfully, and he was also happy that the male had found something interesting to do.

Marshal Anaos arrived the next day with gifts. At that time, Cheng Chu and Mikel were watering the insect eggs with a special nutrient solution for the insect eggs.

Perhaps it was because he loved the insects that Marshal Anaos saw them, he was absolutely delighted and couldn't put them down.

He carefully touched it again and again, and finally hugged the insect egg and praised it highly, saying that the insect egg looked very healthy and was developing very well. He said that it would definitely be the most obedient and beautiful insect baby after it hatched.

Mikel thought Marshal Anaos was exaggerating. He said, "Marshal, how do you know it will be the most obedient one? What if it turns out to be a naughty little bug?"

Marshal Anaos said matter-of-factly, "Because you were the best behaved when you were little. If your mother was good, your offspring would definitely be good too."

Not content with just saying that, he turned to ask Cheng Chu for his opinion.

"Chengchu, tell me, am I right?"

Of course, one's own child is the best. Without a second thought, Cheng Chu nodded in agreement, "Yes, our baby is definitely the most well-behaved."

Marshal Anaos was pleased to reach such a consensus with Cheng Chu. He looked at Mikel and Cheng Chu's faces and became more and more satisfied, saying, "You two are both good-looking. The insect cub inherited your genes, so it won't be bad-looking either."

"Yes, yes." Cheng Chu particularly agreed with Marshal Anaos's statement. He said, "Mikel is the best-looking. It would be best if the baby looked like Mikel."

Compared to her own appearance, Cheng Chu actually thought Mikel was the most beautiful. Golden hair, ocean-blue eyes, fair skin, and Mikel's lips and nose were also beautiful.

Cheng Chuguang was very excited at the thought of soon having a mini version of Baby Mikel.

Being praised so openly for his good looks in front of Marshal Anaos was too much for Mikel, even with his thick skin. His cheeks suddenly flushed, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"My lord, please don't speak nonsense."

How could a male insect possibly boast about itself to the marshal like that?

"I'm not making this up." Cheng Chu wasn't embarrassed at all. He grabbed Mikel's hand and said seriously, "In my eyes, you are the most beautiful female insect."

"Oh, really?" Marshal Anaos seemed to notice Mikel's discomfort and joked, "Chengchu, do you really think Mikel is the best-looking guy?"

Cheng Chu said with certainty, "Of course, Mikel is the most beautiful female insect I have ever seen."

"Haha, I think so too." Marshal Anaos looked at Mikel, who was sitting next to the male insect and whose ears were red with embarrassment, with a smile in his eyes.

"Marshal, Lord, I'll go prepare some fruit for you." Mikel couldn't sit still any longer, so he left those words and ran off as if fleeing.

General Mikel, who remained calm and composed no matter what happened on the battlefield, fled in disarray after being praised a few times.

However, what Mikel didn't know at the time was that his departure did not stop the two people who liked him and the insect from continuing to praise him in every way.

During his conversation with Marshal Anaos, Cheng Chu learned some interesting stories about Mikel's first twenty-odd years.

Marshal Anaos knew what Cheng Chu liked to hear, so he deliberately told him those things, and he told them in a captivating and engaging way, like telling a story.

Cheng Chu listened intently, his emotions like a rollercoaster, sometimes happy for Mikel's achievements, sometimes frowning and worrying about the troubles Mikel encountered.

When Mikel came in with fruit and snacks, Marshal Anaos had already told Cheng Chu about the military achievement Mikel had made before being promoted to general.

"Marshal, Lord, you've been talking for so long, why don't you eat something first?" Mikel tried to interrupt them, bringing over fruit and snacks and placing them in front of them.

Cheng Chu and Marshal Anaos were having a lively conversation when they both said they would eat later.

"Master, would you like some water?" Mikel pulled on the male insect's arm, still trying to struggle a little.

Cheng Chu pressed Mikel's hand down and turned to him, saying, "I'll eat later."

After saying that, he turned his head and continued to listen to Marshal Anaos.

And so, Mikel listened blankly for the entire afternoon to recount his own exploits, some of which he himself couldn't even remember. He was astonished that Marshal Anaos remembered them all, and remembered them so clearly.

Mikel felt a mix of emotions and was no longer so resistant.

…………

Unfortunately, this peaceful life didn't last long before an accident happened.

Before we knew it, the insect eggs were already three months old.

According to regulations, it's best to have worm eggs that are three months old checked at a hospital to assess their final development. If everything is healthy after the checkup, that's ideal. If not, there are still remedial measures.

They chose a day when both Mikel and Cheng Chu were available. Mikel made an appointment in advance, and as soon as the time came, they set off with the insect eggs.

Since the eggs had always met all the required standards, Cheng Chu and Mikel were not worried and treated it as a routine check-up.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Hospital, although they had an appointment and didn't need to queue, Chongdan required quite a few tests, many of which would take time. Fortunately, Cheng Chu and Mikel weren't in a hurry, so they waited patiently.

During this time, Mikel received several messages on his personal terminal. He replied to two of them and then turned the terminal off again.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud explosion rang out. The explosion was sudden, and although it sounded from a great distance, it was very loud, even causing the hospital building to shake slightly.

The explosion caused quite a commotion, and the once quiet environment of the hospital suddenly became noisy.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Chu was also startled. "Wife, was there an explosion outside?"

Following the sound of the explosion, Mikel quickly went to the window and saw thick smoke billowing from a building in the distance. Cheng Chu also saw this scene, and seeing Mikel's solemn expression, before he could say anything...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two more loud explosions rang out, this time from two different directions.

One is the most bustling commercial street in the west, and the other is the farthest mountain.

The series of explosions hinted at something unusual.

"My lord, I—" Mikel was interrupted by Cheng Chu before he could finish speaking.

"Go ahead," Cheng Chu said earnestly to Mikel. "I'll wait for you here. Be careful."

"Thank you, my lord."

Before leaving, Mikel said worriedly, "My lord, I've sent two female soldiers to protect you. They'll be there soon. Don't wander off, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't wander off, you don't need to worry about me." Cheng Chu urged Mikel to hurry up. He's all grown up now, not a child anymore, what could possibly happen to him?

Little did they know, trouble was about to break...
