Arungus's gaze shifted upwards, and his eyes briefly met Cheng Chu's. Arungus felt his heart pounding.

He curled the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and silently returned Cheng Chu's sweet smile.

Cheng Chu, adhering to the principle of friendliness, smiled politely at him.

"A mighty ruler."

Mikel, who was standing next to him, suddenly called out to him.

Cheng Chu immediately turned to Mikel and asked, "Queen, what's wrong?"

Mikel glanced at Arungus indifferently. Arungus's smile froze under Mikel's cold gaze, and he awkwardly picked up his glass to drink water.

Arungus could tell from Mikel's single glance that Mikel had seen through his little scheme.

Mikel casually withdrew his hand and said to the male insect, "Master, Professor Onnani just said he saw a few fruit tree saplings in our garden. He wanted to ask if you'd sell them?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chu immediately looked at Onnani and asked, "You also want fruit tree saplings?"

Onnani didn't notice his student's subtle actions.

Hearing Mikel bring up the question he had just asked, Onnani felt a sense of gratitude. He nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Cheng Chu, I saw that you planted quite a few saplings of Kagu and Green Water Pearl in another corner of the garden, and they are growing exceptionally well. We would like to take a few back to the research institute."

Onnani carefully observed Cheng Chu's expression and continued, "I wonder if you could sell us a few?"

Cheng Chu nodded.

"Sure, you can have as many as you want."

The male insect's words relieved Onnani's anxiety by half. He pondered in his mind what price to offer this time, a hint of joy on his face.

Plants grown by S-class male insects, which possess special abilities in cultivation, whether seedlings or saplings, are of great research value.

Lord Cheng Chu's special abilities have not yet been officially recognized or announced by the authorities. They are extremely lucky to have been able to purchase these seedlings and saplings.

The best course of action is to secure the remaining seedlings as soon as possible, before any insects find out. Otherwise, once more insects discover the problem, he might not be able to buy even a single seedling, even if they fight tooth and nail for it.

Onnani sincerely thanked Cheng Chu: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Arungus held the cup tightly in his hands and followed Professor Onnani in a low voice to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng Chu."

Next, we'll discuss the price of the fruit trees. Cheng Chu didn't understand this, so Mikel usually handled the negotiations with Onnani.

Cheng Chu sat next to Mikel and listened to their conversation. He took a few sips of his water, then looked down and idly fiddled with the pattern on Mikel's shirt hem, completely unaware that Arungus was secretly watching him.

While talking with Professor Onnani, Mikel also spared some time to check on the male insect's condition. Knowing that the male insect was completely unaffected by Arungus, he was relieved.

The price and quantity were quickly agreed upon, with the price calculated at three times the price of a single seedling. Onnani requested all the seedlings.

Finally, Mikel asked Cheng Chu for his opinion, and Cheng Chu nodded in agreement. Onanai immediately transferred the money to Cheng Chu's account, and the deal was finalized.

At this moment, Arungus tugged at Professor Onnani's sleeve and said, "Professor, you have a very important meeting to attend in an hour. We don't have enough time to dig up the saplings."

Onnani frowned and glanced at Arungus. He couldn't recall having any important meetings today.

Arungus gave Professor Onnani a fawning smile, as if to remind him, "Professor, have you forgotten? When we came, you told me to be sure to remind you of the time, because you had to rush back to a meeting."

Onnani knew a thing or two about his students' character. They were simply after Lord Chengchu and wanted to create an opportunity for a second meeting.

I don't have time to dig up the fruit tree seedlings today, so I'll have to schedule another day. That way, I can visit again for a second time.

Onnani didn't expose him, after all, it was all thanks to Arungus that they were able to buy the S-grade male insect seedlings and saplings. He went along with Arungus's words, "That's right, I almost forgot. I'm sorry, Lord Chengchu, Lord Mikel, I really don't have time today. Could we arrange another time to dig again?"

"Okay, but I hope you can do it as soon as possible." Mikel stood up.

Onnani also stood up: "Okay, okay, we'll do it as soon as possible."

Judging from this, Professor Onnani and Arungus are about to leave.

Cheng Chu stood up, intending to follow Mikel to see them off, but then he heard Mikel whisper to him, "My lord, I'm a little hungry."

Upon hearing that Mikel said he was hungry, Cheng Chu forgot all about whether he should see him out or not. He quickly told Mikel, "I'll go to the kitchen now and bring you lunch."

Of all things under heaven, the most important thing for a pregnant woman is to eat.

"Queen, after you've seen them off, come back for dinner quickly." After giving the instructions, without waiting for Mikel's reply, Cheng Chu turned around and strode towards the kitchen.

Mikel watched the male insect's back disappear before catching up with the two female insects ahead.

Upon reaching the villa's gate, Mikel ignored Arungus's somewhat disappointed expression at not seeing any male insects and saw them off expressionlessly.

Compared to when they arrived, the aircraft was much faster. Professor Onnani was overjoyed to have gotten these seedlings at such a great bargain; he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Arungs was also overwhelmed with excitement when he unexpectedly met Lord Chengchu, whom he had been longing to see.

"I see!"

Professor Onnani was planning a research and cultivation program for the famous flower seedlings when he suddenly heard Arungus's roar.

He was startled and scolded, "What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy! What do you know?"

Arungus leaned over and shared his discovery: "Professor, I suddenly realized something. Could it be that those female insects that haven't left Lord Cheng Chu's house are staying there because they know the location of his house? So they're waiting outside, hoping to bump into Lord Cheng Chu by chance."

He recalled Mikel's reaction and said, "So that's really how it is? That's why His Majesty Chengchu's queen wouldn't tell us when I asked."

Upon hearing Arungus's words, Onnani wanted to scold him: "Arungus, you were just being really outrageous. In front of Her Majesty Chengchu, you practically had your desire to be her maidservant written all over your face."

Arungus, however, didn't care. He had his own thoughts: "So what? After seeing Lord Chengchu's female insects, who wouldn't want to be his female servant? Lord Chengchu is not only an S-class male insect, but he's also handsome, has a great figure, and a good temper."
