Arungus walked behind Professor Onnani, speaking casually as if they were just having a casual chat.

As soon as he arrived, he noticed that the female insects outside the garden fence were acting suspiciously and he didn't know what they were up to.

Could it be that they're trying to steal these flower seedlings?

Mikel didn't stop walking. He didn't explain, only saying in a calm tone, "If you want to know, you can go and ask them yourself."

This left Arungus speechless. He chuckled awkwardly, "Heh... that's not necessary."

Onnani spoke up at the opportune moment to reprimand him: "Arengus, why are you talking so much today?"

"Oh." Arungus shrank back, reluctantly shutting his mouth.

Ignoring Arungus's mood, Onnani smiled and asked Mikel, "Mr. Mikel, I noticed you have some fruit trees in your garden. Are they for sale?"

Unlike Arungus, Onnani noticed early on the newly grown cagua and green water droplet saplings in a corner not far away.

Mikel: "You can ask my master about that later; he planted all the fruit trees."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikel led the two female insects to the back door of the hall leading to the garden.

Stepping into the hall, a refreshing coolness washed over him. Arungs had been working too hard and was sweating a lot; the sudden chill made him shiver involuntarily.

When Arungus saw the professor stop but not speak, he looked up and saw a tall, black-haired, black-eyed male insect.

The shock of this scene left Arungus completely frozen.

Your Excellency Chengchu!

It was the legendary Lord Cheng Chu that he was talking about with the professor in the aircraft!

God!

He had just finished digging and was covered in sweat and dust!

He met Lord Chengchu in such a disheveled state!

Arungus screamed inwardly, trying his best to force a smile, but the smile looked stiff no matter how you looked at it.

When Cheng Chu saw Mikel approaching with the female insects behind him, he got up from the sofa.

"My lord, I have brought them with me." Mikel walked to Cheng Chu's side and introduced them to each other: "This is Professor Onnani from the Imperial Botanical Research Institute, and this is his assistant, Arungus, behind him."

Mikel turned to Onnani and introduced the male insect: "This is my male master, Lord Chengchu."

Although Mikel felt this was unnecessary, judging from their expressions, they must have known the male insect on the StarNet.

Onnani was the first to react. He suppressed his amazement and respectfully said, "Your Excellency Chengchu, good day."

Seeing that his student hadn't come to his senses yet, Onnani nudged him with his elbow in exasperation.

The action was so obvious that both Mikel and Cheng Chu looked over suspiciously.

When faced with the gazes of Cheng Chu and Mikel, Arungus snapped out of his daze. His face flushed, and he lowered his head, saying shyly, "Mr. Cheng...Mr. Cheng Chu, good day."

Mikel frowned slightly as he noticed the faint blush on Arungus's face.

Cheng Chu responded politely: "Professor Onnani, good day. Arungs, good day."

Hearing Lord Cheng Chu call his name, Arungus felt for the first time that his name sounded so beautiful.

"Please sit down and let's talk." Mikel gestured for them to sit on the sofa on the right.

Cheng Chu and Mikel sat in the main seats, while Onnani and Arungus sat on the right.

At first, Onnani thought that Mikel's master should be a higher-level male insect, but he did not expect that his master was actually the S-class Lord Cheng Chu that Arungus had told him that morning.

However, upon learning that the black-haired, black-eyed Lord Cheng Chu in front of her was an S-class male insect, Onnani had a bold guess in her mind.

Cheng Chu and Mikel sat very close, not practically touching, but a slight movement would bring their shoulders close. Cheng Chu looked at the white-haired Onnani and asked, "You want to see me? What's the matter?"

Cheng Chu tried to speak as clearly as possible, enunciating each word distinctly, and speaking politely and courteously.

Onnani: "I apologize, Your Excellency Cheng Chu, we were the ones who offended you."

If he had known beforehand that the male insect that planted the flower seedlings was none other than the S-rank Lord Cheng Chu, he would never have so abruptly requested a meeting. At the very least, he would have made some preparations, and it would have been best to issue the invitation in the name of the Imperial Botanical Research Institute.

Cheng Chu didn't think anything of it, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing."

Mikel got up and handed the visitor two glasses of syrup.

Onnani smiled and said, "Thank you."

Arungus sat upright, his hands neatly placed on his knees. He glanced furtively at Cheng Chu, but his view was blocked by Mikel, who was handing him water. He hurriedly lowered his eyes and whispered to Mikel, "Thank you."

Onnani seemed embarrassed. He rubbed his right thumb and forefinger together, hesitated, but finally asked, "Lord Chengchu, is your special ability related to planting?"

As is well known, S-class male insects not only possess the highest level of mental power, but most of them also have a special ability.

Each S-class male insect has different special abilities, and even the time and method of discovery are different.

Some S-class male insects possess special abilities that are easily detected, manifesting even at a very young age. However, the special abilities of other S-class male insects are very subtle and may not be discovered even when they reach adulthood.

The seedlings that Lord Cheng Chu planted casually were not even planted in special soil. During a conversation with Mikel, I learned that Lord Cheng Chu only watered them every day, yet the seedlings he planted were growing better than those specially cultivated in their research institute.

This made Onnani suspect that Lord Chengchu's special ability was related to planting.

Cheng Chu didn't understand Onnani's question, and he looked at Mikel in confusion.

"Female?"

What did he mean? What special ability?

Mikel remained calm and pressed down on the male insect's hand, which was resting on his knee, and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

He said to Onnani, "My male master's special ability has not yet been identified by the Male Insect Protection Committee. We will only know what it is after the identification is completed."

When Mikel first saw that the male insect could germinate seeds that he planted at will, he simply assumed that the male insect had some special method and didn't think about it in that direction. However, later, when the male insect was identified as an S-class male insect, he did consider the possibility of a special ability.

"Yes...yes, that's how it is. You only know something once you've made up your mind." Hearing Mikel say this, Onanie didn't press the matter further.

He was now 100% certain that Lord Cheng Chu's special ability was related to planting.

This news is absolutely fantastic for the Imperial Botanical Research Institute!

Arungus listened quietly to their conversation, but his eyes were fixed on Mikel and Cheng Chu's clasped hands.
