Onnani dusted off his hands, straightened up, looked directly at Mikel, and repeated his words: "Excuse me, could you introduce me to your lord?"

The fact that such seedlings can be grown without special potting soil means that this male insect is definitely not an ordinary male insect.

It's worth noting that even if experts from the Imperial Botanical Research Institute used specialized planting soil, the plants they cultivated might not grow as well as those grown by this male insect.

Onnani had already observed them carefully; the planting of these fourteen seedlings was extremely haphazard. In such a large garden, the seedlings were planted in an inconspicuous corner. There was no soil around the roots, and the seedlings weren't spaced sufficiently together; they were all crammed together. It was clear that the male insect who planted them hadn't put any care into it; they had been planted carelessly.

However, since even a male insect that could be easily bred was better than the ones from their research institute, Onnani really wanted to see this male insect.

Onnani spoke again, this time with greater sincerity: "I apologize, I know my request is presumptuous. I am Professor Onnani of the Department of Floriculture at the Imperial Botanical Research Institute. In all my years of studying flowering plants, I have never seen a male insect grow so well as yours. I hope you can give me this opportunity, please."

The elderly female insect spoke earnestly, clearly wanting to see the male insect.

Mikel paused, his expression hesitant.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Knowing that their professor's request was too abrupt, Arungus quickly explained, "Haha, sorry. Our professor didn't mean anything by it; he just really wanted to see the insect that can grow plants so well without using potting soil."

Fortunately, the professor is of a certain age; otherwise, saying such things in front of other female insects would make people wonder if he had taken a liking to the male insect.

Mikel glanced at Arungus, who had spoken, and said, "I can't make that decision; I have to ask the Lord for his opinion."

"Hey..." Arungs said excitedly, "Ask, go ahead and ask."

Onnani: "Thank you. I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Onnani." He then pointed to Arungus beside him and introduced, "This is Arungus, my student and assistant. We are both from the Imperial Botanical Research Institute."

Mikel said calmly, "Mikel."

Next, Onnani and Arungus got straight to work.

The seedlings were so precious that Onnani was very careful in order to minimize any damage to them.

During this time, Mikel returned to the villa, where Cheng Chu was already sitting on the sofa in the living room playing a computer game.

Cheng Chu caught a glimpse of Mikel entering out of the corner of his eye. He quickly sat up straight, his eyes still fixed on the screen. He asked, "Queen, are they satisfied?"

"Yes, they are very satisfied."

Mikel sat down next to the male insect. He glanced at the game the male was playing and saw that he was about to win.

Mikel said, "My lord, they wish to see you. Do you wish to see them?"

"See me?" Cheng Chu's attention was entirely focused on the game; his hands were still moving as he asked, puzzled, "Why do they want to see me?"

Mikel: "They are from the Imperial Botanical Research Institute. They think your seedlings are so good that they want to meet you in person."

Cheng Chu stared intently: "Oh..."

At that moment, the game ended, and Cheng Chu won.

Cheng Chu put down the light screen and looked at Mikel, unsure of himself: "Then, Queen, should I see her?"

Mikel smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide. You can see them if you want, or we won't see them if you don't."

After thinking it over, Cheng Chu decided to meet him anyway.

"Then let's meet."

"Okay, I'll bring them to see you after they've finished digging," Mikel said, getting up to head towards the kitchen.

"My lord, I'll get you some sliced ​​fruit."

"Hey, hey, hey... No need, you don't need to go, I'll go myself." Cheng Chu quickly grabbed Mikel, stopping him from getting up, and pressed his shoulder to make him sit back on the sofa.

"0123 isn't home, I'll do this little thing." Cheng Chu took a long stride and quickly darted into the kitchen.

From behind, Mikel asked anxiously, "My lord, do you know where to get the fruit platter?"

Cheng Chu waved his hand and replied, "I know."

The fruit at home is all cut and plated by a special fruit cutter in the kitchen, and it's usually served in a 0123 pattern.

In addition, Cheng Chu has been suffering from toothache and fever for the past few days, making it impossible for him to chew fruit. He is surviving entirely on nutrient solutions and water, so the family has not been eating fruit for many days.

After enduring several painful days, Cheng Chu's jaw finally stopped hurting. Today, the daily fruit service resumed, but since 0123 wasn't there, they had to go to the kitchen to get it themselves.

Mikel's worries were unnecessary; Cheng Chu quickly brought out a plate of fruit.

In the Zerg, Cheng Chu had eaten fruit for so long that he could now easily distinguish which fruits were not too sweet for him and which were too sweet for Mikel.

"Here, Queen, the first bite is for you." Setting down the fruit plate, Cheng Chu forked a piece of snow-white fruit and offered it to Mikel's mouth.

"Thank you, Master." Mikel opened his mouth and bit the fruit that the male insect had fed him.

Cheng Chu asked, "Female Lord, is it sweet? Do you like it?"

Mikel, with something in his mouth, simply nodded at the male insect and mumbled a vague "hmm."

"As long as it's sweet." Cheng Chu forked another transparent one and stuffed it into her mouth.

Well, he still thinks the less sweet fruit tastes better.

After eating a few pieces of fruit, Mikel shook his head and said he didn't want any more.

He wiped his mouth and said, "My lord, they should have finished digging. I'll go take a look."

It took Onnani and Arunges almost an hour to dig out the fourteen seedlings and then carefully pack them in layers.

Onnani was doing the finishing touches, while Arungus was in charge of moving the seedlings onto their aircraft.

The row of green seedlings in the garden was gone, replaced by several dug holes. The exposed, pitted, brown soil looked out of place in the garden filled with lifelike artificial flowers.

This is the scene that Mikel saw when he arrived.

Without further ado, Mikel said directly, "My lord has agreed to see you. You can come with me when you're done with your business."

Arungus thanked him, "Yes, thank you, Your Excellency Mikel, we'll be right there."

Soon, Onnani and Arungus finished, washed their hands, and followed Mikel.

Mikel walked ahead, leading them into the hall.

Arungus, as if struck by a thought, casually asked, "Lord Mikel, I saw several female insects outside your fence. They didn't look like they were just passing by. What are they doing there?"
