The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Asher lowered his eyes, thinking that the male insect definitely wouldn't help him.

He smiled mockingly to himself.

We should have thought of this sooner, shouldn't we?

It was just a few vague words from the male insect that gave rise to an unwarranted expectation in his heart.

Cen Li didn't notice that the female insect's bright eyes gradually dimmed.

He spoke again.

"They're not worthy to touch my things."

Cen Li's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, as if he was unhappy that something bearing his label had been touched without permission.

Even though Ashel was objectified as part of Cen Li's property, he didn't show the slightest change on his face.

Or perhaps the female insects all tacitly accepted Cen Li's statement.

In the Zerg society, where males are revered, married female Zerg will appear in the list of male Zerg's identity information and ownership.

From the moment a female insect marries a male insect, her property no longer belongs to her; it is all divided among the male lord.

In contrast, male insects don't need to do anything. They only need to be given a spot as a female servant, and countless female insects will rush to them, willing to offer everything.

Including their bodies.

Ashel's expression turned slightly surprised when the male insect actually asked Sia to call the male insect protection association.

Xiya, who had been standing aside for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak when she heard Cen Li's instructions.

"My lord, if we release Ashel's mental energy restriction ring, he might harm you..."

It was clearly Ashel's negligence that caused the male insect to be harmed.

Westa didn't understand why Ashel, this tough female soldier, could make the male lord take the initiative to speak and remove his mental energy restriction ring.

Although Cen Li's wording was as willful and reckless as before, in Xi Ya's eyes, Cen Li's actions could be considered "favor" to Asher.

Are you questioning my decision?

Cen Li glanced at her sideways, his gaze like a cold, sharp blade piercing through the air, making Xi Ya feel uneasy.

He reluctantly dialed the hotline of the male insect protection association.

That should finally allow us to remove that damned restriction ring!

However, the male insect protection association reacted strongly upon hearing this.

A male insect actually attempted to remove the mental energy restriction ring from an S-class female military officer?!

They were not only greatly puzzled, but also suspected that Cen Li had been coerced by the female soldier.

Half an hour later, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Cen Li's home.

"Your Excellency, are you truly determined to remove the mental energy restriction ring from your female servant?"

A female insect in a black uniform spoke up.

His shirt bore the logo of the Male Insect Protection Association, and he silently observed the situation inside the house, as if assessing whether any male insects might be threatened.

"certainly."

Cen Li answered without hesitation.

He thought that if the insects received a direct affirmation, they would believe it.

Little did they know that Cen Li's words caused an uproar among the female insects in the Male Insect Protection Association.

What?!

How could a male insect have such thoughts?!

This is not normal.

This is absolutely abnormal!

They all offered their advice to Cen Li.

"How can this be allowed, Your Excellency!"

"You've just returned from the hospital, and the cause of your injury is still under investigation. And this female servant beside you happens to be the biggest potential danger!"

"Yes, sir, for your safety, we do not recommend that you remove his restraint ring."

Seeing Cen Li's increasingly furrowed brows, Xi Ya stepped forward to reach out and smooth the male insect's brows.

Just as he was about to touch it, the male insect turned its head away.

Cen Li glanced at him.

The male insect did not speak, but the warning in its eyes was obvious.

Xiya withdrew her hand and immediately dared not move again.

He awkwardly changed the subject: "My lord, they're all doing this for your own good. Please reconsider!"

"No need to consider it, I won't change my decision."

The female insects tried to say something more, but Cen Li impatiently waved them off.

"You guys are too noisy."

The female insects shut up in embarrassment, finally realizing that no matter how they tried to persuade him, they couldn't change Cen Li's mind.

Male insects are indeed stubborn and do things their own way.

The leading female insect sighed: "Your Excellency, if you really wish to remove the restraint ring from Major General Asher's body, there will be a three-day observation period according to regulations."

"If your female attendant does not behave improperly during the observation period, we will remove the restraint ring worn by the Major General in accordance with regulations."

This is so troublesome, there's even a three-day observation period!

The system notified: "They also fitted Ashel with something that suppresses the female insect's regenerative abilities."

"The instruments of torture in the disciplinary center are soaked in a special potion beforehand, specifically designed to slow down the healing process of wounds and make the wounds on the female insects even more severe."

Although the system doesn't know why the host wants to help Ashel, it won't intervene outside of the main storyline and unless the host has a broken bug setting.

Cen Li suddenly realized.

No wonder, Ashel, who is an excellent S-class in all aspects of physical fitness, was unusually weak when he came back this time.

Although the original owner would also whip Ashel to vent her anger, the male insect used an ordinary leather whip, which would draw blood if it hit her for too long, but it wouldn't be too serious.

The whips used to punish female soldiers in the disciplinary center were not only covered with barbs, but were also soaked in the medicine mentioned by 007.

Cen Li's face was extremely grim: "You put something else on him?"

"They're just some little gadgets for punishing female soldiers."

The insects from the male insect protection association didn't seem to care.

Cen Li said through gritted teeth, "Get it for him."

The female insects were puzzled.

Seeing that they seemed to want to offer some advice again, Cen Li said with annoyance, "Ashel is my female servant. It's not your place to decide what to do with her."

The male insect protection association's insect choked.

Under the coercive gaze of the male insects, they had no choice but to remove the silver rings that suppressed the female's recovery ability.

However, they said they could only remove the mental energy restriction ring at the earliest in three days.

Cen Li frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the result.

But he was even more annoyed by the constant chirping of the insects, so he waved them away.

Ashel felt the sudden lightness of weight on his ankle.

Although the mental energy restriction ring could not be removed, the silver ring that suppressed the female soldier's powerful regenerative abilities was removed.

This was an unexpected bonus.

Ashel looked at Cen Li, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

The male insect lowered its eyebrows, concealing the light in its eyes, and was shrouded in a cold and aloof aura.

She seems to be in a bad mood.

Ashel thought that perhaps the male insect didn't want to fall on him again, which was why it was being so kind today.

He walked up to Cen Li, bowed slightly, and gave Cen Li a very standard shoulder pat.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Asher wore a well-tailored black and gold military uniform made of high-quality fabric that clung perfectly to his body, outlining his taut and powerful waistline, the narrow lines exuding a sense of strength.

At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, and the golden medals on his shoulders shone brightly in the sunlight.

Cen Li sneered, "I just don't want the Major General to faint from weakness again."

"After all, I'm a cripple, and I can't stand being suppressed by a major general a second time."

It seemed like self-deprecation, yet also like sarcasm.

As expected, Ashel breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He chuckled inwardly at the male insect's sarcastic remark and bowed his head in apology.

"It's all my fault, my lord."

There won't be a next time.

Cen Li neither agreed nor disagreed.

He covered his nose in disgust: "Major General, the smell of blood on you is so strong it's almost overflowing."

Ashel paused for a moment, then said, "Sorry, the smell bothered you."

He then added, "I'll go clean it up right now."

Seeing that Cen Li did not refute, Ashel knew that the male insect had tacitly agreed, and then turned and left.

Nearby, Xiya, who had been silently playing the background for a long time, felt a slight, almost imperceptible strangeness rise in her heart when she saw Cen Li staring at Asher's back.

The powerful ruler seemed somewhat different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
