In the bedroom, Mikel woke up to find no male insect beside him, and he slept very comfortably.

He sat up, his eyes lowered. His hand unconsciously caressed his upper abdomen, his thin lips curved slightly upward, and his eyes held a smile.

The heavy curtains automatically drew back, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the bedroom floor, casting a warm, golden glow.

Mikel picked up the personal terminal on the bedside table and saw that it displayed a voice message he had received from Marshal Anaos twenty-five minutes ago.

As soon as you open it, you can hear Marshal Anaos's hearty laughter.

Anaos: [Hahaha, Mikel, I heard you have your own insect eggs now. Congratulations on becoming a female father! You're really something, well done!]

Anaos: [Mikel, your handover is complete. I'm giving you a few more days off. You don't need to rush back. Wait until the insect eggs are a month old before returning to the Legion.]

It seems Elijah, the big mouth, has already told the Marshal about the insect eggs. Mikel tapped a few times on his personal terminal and sent two messages.

Mikel: [Thank you, Marshal.]

Mikel: [Roger that, Marshal.]

Mikel replied to Marshal Anaos's message, then left the bedroom and went straight downstairs.

The hall was empty, and there wasn't a single male insect on the sofa.

Mikel found the booklet he had brought back from the hospital on the table in the lobby, next to a pen that the male insect usually used to practice calligraphy, and a piece of paper under the booklet.

He approached, bent down, and pulled out the densely written paper. Mikel frowned slightly, because he couldn't understand a single one of the neat, square characters on it.

Did the male insect write this?

He was certain he had never seen these strange characters before, but looking at the neat, orderly lines of characters, it was impossible for a male insect to have written them randomly.

"Queen, are you awake?"

Suddenly, the excited chirping of the male insect came from behind.

Almost instantly, Mikel instinctively and quickly hid the paper in his pajama pocket, making sure the male insect couldn't see it.

Cheng Chu and 0123 returned from the garden and saw Mikel standing in the hall as soon as they entered. He smiled and ran over to him.

"Hmm, Master, you went to the garden? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Mikel saw Cheng Chu come out of the back door carrying a watering can and knew that the male insect had gone to the garden to water those seedlings again.

Watching the male insect diligently water the seedlings every day without fail, he found it too troublesome. He even suggested to the male insect that they install a timed watering machine in the garden or have 0123 water the plants, so that the male insect wouldn't have to go through the trouble of watering them.

However, for some reason, the male insect rejected both suggestions. He insisted on taking care of the seeds planted in the garden himself.

Cheng Chu's face was beaming with a happy smile. He pulled Mikel to sit down on the sofa and then lowered his head to fiddle with the personal terminal.

Her voice was filled with undisguised joy: "Queen, Queen, look, look at this!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mikel continued pouring water for the male insect, and subtly slipped the paper back into its place.

"My lord, what do you want to show me?" Mikel sat up straight and handed over a glass of water.

Cheng Chu finally opened the chat page where the person had just asked to buy flower seedlings. He pointed to the content and showed it to Mikel: "Female, look, he wants to buy my flower seedlings."

Mikel noticed that the bruise on the male insect's mouth seemed to have faded a bit. He took the personal terminal and said, "Okay, let me see. Master, please have some water first."

It was already evening outside, and the temperature was quite cool, but it was still necessary to drink water.

"Okay." Cheng Chu grabbed the water glass and gulped down more than half of it. He put the glass back on the table and turned to look at Mikel.

"Master, why are you selling the seedlings? You've been planting them for so long, weren't you looking forward to them blooming?" After reading the chat between the male insect and the other side, the latest message was a video of the seedlings sent by the male insect. Mikel didn't understand why the male insect would want to sell the seedlings.

It's worth noting that the male insect personally selected these flower seeds, and has been personally caring for them since they were planted. His attentiveness clearly demonstrates his affection for these seedlings.

"No, my lady." Cheng Chu shook her head and said with a smile, "I grow flowers to sell. Whether they bloom or are sold now, it's all the same."

He started growing flowers to make money; he was willing to sell them whenever the price was right. Once he sold the seedlings, he could plant more.

Mikel advised him, "My lord, you've taken such good care of the seedlings, it's a bit of a waste to sell them, isn't it? If you want star coins, I can give you as many as you want."

"It's different," Cheng Chu said, head down. "I want to earn star coins myself..."

When he first arrived, he was a complete stranger in the land and could only live off Mikel. But now he was about to become a father, and he couldn't continue to be idle. Although Mikel was very wealthy, this family didn't belong to Mikel alone; he also had responsibilities, and he couldn't go on without earning a single penny.

"Beep beep!"

At that moment, a message came from the other end.

Diligent Rice-Earning Good Kid: [Host, are you still there? We'll take all your seedlings. I'd like to discuss some specific details with you. Is now a convenient time for you?]

"It's here, it's here, he sent a message." Cheng Chu grabbed Mikel's arm and shook it gently, saying excitedly, "Queen, please help me reply to him."

Having confirmed that the male insect was truly willing to sell, Mikel said nothing more. He said, "Alright, Master. I'll reply for you. What would you like to reply?"

Cheng Chu: "Go back first, I'm here."

Mikel's fingers flew across the screen, clicking a few times before sending the message.

I want to support my wife: [I'm here.]

There was still no reply, so Mikel asked, "My lord, have you agreed on a price?"

"not yet."

They haven't discussed the specific price yet, and Cheng Chu doesn't know the market price here either.

Therefore, Cheng Chu asked Mikel for help: "Queen, can you help me talk to him?"

Mikel: "Okay."

"Beep beep!"

Diligent and hardworking student: [How much do your flower seedlings cost?]

I want to support a wife: [You name your price, and if it's right, I'll sell myself to you.]

Mikel did not choose to make an offer directly, but instead let the other party make the offer first.

Across from him, Arungus looked up to meet Professor Onnani's impatient face. Professor Onnani, clearly annoyed, said, "Why are you dawdling? What did they say?"

"Professor, they're asking us to name a price. How much should we offer?"

After a moment's thought, Onnani stated a price: "Tell him, four hundred thousand per plant."

In the video sent from the other side, he could clearly see that it was 100% a natural plant, and a natural plant that was growing exceptionally well.

He couldn't wait to see these natural plants with his own eyes.
