Early in the morning, Arungus was urged by his teacher to set off.

He could only repeat helplessly over and over again, "Professor, it's not time yet. It would be impolite for us to arrive too early."

Unable to wait any longer, they set off ahead of schedule. To buy themselves some time, Arungus put the aircraft on autopilot at its slowest speed.

The aircraft flew slowly along the low-speed track.

During this time, Onnani, who was sitting upright in his seat, would occasionally ask a question.

Onnani: "Arungus, why are you so slow?"

Arungus: "Professor, we set off too early. We need to control our speed. Don't rush, the seedlings won't run away."

Onnani: "Arungus, how much longer until we arrive?"

Arungus: "Professor, it'll be ready soon."

After finally calming down, Arungus had time to open his personal computer and browse the new messages on the StarNet.

Onnani: "Arungus..."

Without even looking up, Arungus blurted out, "Professor, it'll be ready soon."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Arungus realized his mistake. He looked up and met Professor Onnani's displeased gaze, and gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, Professor, what were you trying to say?"

Onnani looked at Arungus's personal terminal and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Haha...it's nothing." Arungus handed over the light screen with both hands, carefully observing the professor's expression. "This is a newly emerged S-class male insect in the Empire, Lord Cheng Chu."

Onnani is an elderly female insect who devotes herself entirely to the breeding room and doesn't usually pay attention to news on the StarNet.

"An S-class male insect? Another new S-class male insect has appeared." Onnani looked at Cheng Chu's high-resolution photo on the StarNet and asked in confusion, "But why are his hair and eyes black? Is that a rare color?"

"Right, right?" As if finding a point of agreement, Arungus said, "Professor, many insects think that Lord Cheng Chu's black hair and black eyes are very special. The StarNet even says that Lord Cheng Chu is taller than the female insects."

"Oh." Onnani scrolled through the webpage on his personal terminal, then casually asked, "What else have you heard on the StarNet?"

Arungus was completely naive and easily tricked into revealing information. He said, "The StarNet says that Lord Cheng Chu is tall and handsome, but there was a mistake when testing his mental strength level. It was only later discovered that he is an S-class male insect. Some say he has a good temper and never gets angry easily. Others say he has mental problems and likes to fight at the slightest disagreement."

In short, there are many different opinions about Lord Cheng Chu's temperament. But Arungus actually leans more towards the former explanation, since the Empire cannot allow an S-class male insect to have mental problems without seeking treatment.

As he continued rambling on, Arungus added at the end, "Oh, by the way, I also heard that His Majesty Chengchu currently only has one female ruler, and no female attendants yet."

Onnani asked bluntly, "You want to be his maid?"

"Oh, Professor, please don't tease me." Arungus did think Lord Cheng Chu was handsome and of high rank. However, looking at Onnani, he said, "Forget becoming Lord Cheng Chu's maid, I can't even see him now."

Not only did he not know Lord Cheng Chu's address, but even if he did, he was constantly being bossed around by Professor Onnani and wouldn't have time to visit him. Arungus silently complained to himself.

If things continue like this, he may very well end up alone for the rest of his life.

Onnani returned the personal terminal, saying meaningfully, "Don't worry, you will see it."

Even though the aircraft was slow, it still arrived. Fortunately, it was almost time, so it wasn't too early.

A blonde, blue-eyed female insect emerged from the villa. She stood tall and walked with firm and steady steps.

Even though Mikel was wearing ordinary home clothes, his imposing presence made it easy for Onnani to guess that he came from a military background.

"Good day, we are 'hard-working good kids'."

Arungus spoke first to give the code to prevent going to the wrong place.

"Hmm." The nickname the other person used was correct, and Mikel nodded slightly. "Good day."

Arungus asked, "You're the one who said, 'I want to support a wife.'"

Upon hearing this nickname, Mikel raised an eyebrow and denied it, saying, "No, this is my lord's nickname."

"Come with me, the seedlings are in the garden behind my house."

With that, Mikel turned and left.

"Okay...okay."

Arungus and Onnani hurriedly followed.

Because there were female insects lurking in the garden, Mikel didn't let Cheng Chu come out and sent him to the study instead.

The garden can be clearly seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study.

So, Cheng Chu saw Mikel bring two female insects into the garden from the study window and come to the flower seedlings he had planted.

An elderly female insect with white hair couldn't contain her excitement upon seeing the seedling. Her hands trembled as she circled it. She wanted to touch the leaves but dared not touch them too hard, finally only giving them a light touch. Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy. Cheng Chu watched as she excitedly spoke to Mikel, who responded with a cold and brief reply.

The distance was too great for Cheng Chu to hear their conversation. He could only tell that the old female insect was very satisfied with her seedlings.

Soon, a message popped up on Cheng Chu's personal computer.

Female Insect Wife: [Master, they are very satisfied. The remaining star coins have been paid; please check your account. Furthermore, they wish to dig and pack the seedlings themselves. I have agreed.]

Cheng Chu lowered his head, tapped twice on the quantum computer, and replied to Mikel with an "OK".

Looking up again, he saw the young female insect hurriedly leave the garden. Only Mikel and the white-haired female insect remained, chatting about something.

About three or four minutes later, the young female insect came running back hurriedly, carrying various tools on her body and in her hands.

Once the two female insects found the right spot, they took professional metal shovels and began to dig very carefully.

To avoid damaging the seedlings as much as possible, Onnani and Arunges moved very slowly.

Mikel thought that helping them would be faster.

He stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Onnani, who was busy digging, loudly refused, "No need!"

"Haha..." Arungus quickly tried to smooth things over for his professor, laughing awkwardly, "I'm sorry, our professor meant that we don't need to trouble you, we can do it ourselves."

They wanted to do it themselves, so Mikel didn't get involved and stepped back.

To ease the tension, Arungus casually started a conversation: "Did you plant these seedlings? They're so beautiful! What's your secret?"

Thinking that directly asking for the secret might not be appropriate, he added, "Of course, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to tell me."

Mikel replied, "I didn't plant them."

Even Onnani, who was busy digging up flower seedlings, stopped what he was doing and looked at Mikel with Arungus, waiting for him to say something next.

Mikel didn't hide anything: "It was planted by my lord, and from the time it was planted until now, my lord has personally taken care of it throughout the entire process. So, I don't know any secret."

Arungus paused in his digging: "Huh? Oh!"

Onnani suddenly interjected, "Excuse me, could you introduce us to your sovereign?"
