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

The sympathetic or pitying gazes of the male insects deeply stung Terry.

The anger in his chest surged up suddenly.

Terry lunged at the nearest male insect, his nails digging deep into the innocent creature's shoulder as he shook it violently.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Terry looked deranged, his eyes bloodshot.

The male insects dared not approach.

The male insect, whose neck was being choked, was breathing weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, a female insect entered from outside and separated the two insects.

Finally, the short-haired female insect waved her fist at Terry, "Don't cause any more trouble, or you won't want to know the consequences."

The female insect looked ferocious, and Terry was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, completely oblivious to the fierceness that had just suddenly erupted.

He immediately backed down, "No, I won't, I won't."

The short-haired female insect gave him a cold glance and went back to guard the door.

Cen Li was already certain that there were miniature cameras or something similar in the room.

He was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of the female insect.

Male insects are a valuable social resource, no matter where they are placed.

Each male insect here was hard-won, and these female insects naturally wouldn't allow any insect to endanger the males' lives right under their noses.

After the short-haired female insect left, the male insects remained quiet for a long time.

Everyone kept their distance from Terry in silence, labeling him as mentally unstable.

Terry remained quiet in the corner for a while, and as his fear subsided, he looked at the group of unharmed male insects, and his resentment surged up again.

Terry's voice was sarcastic, deliberately trying to unsettle the group of male insects, "You'd better think about who to recommend tonight."

Sure enough, the male insects became restless upon hearing this.

You look at me, I look at you.

Their eyes were filled with fear and struggle against the unknown.

They had all seen Terry's tragic fate, and no one wanted to be the next Terry.

What was bound to happen eventually did, and in the unbearable darkness, the door was opened once more.

It was the same female insect they had to recommend themselves last time.

After Terry was taken away last night, some insects brought him food.

Rough and bland.

It was clearly not as good as any of their usual meals, but the circumstances at the time did not allow them to be picky.

The male insects were starving and ate all the food that they would normally never even glance at.

Jemin's gaze swept over the quiet, chicken-like male insects, a hint of satisfaction on his face. "Looks like you're adapting well now."

The male insects harbored resentment, but dared not show it.

They haven't forgotten what happened to Terry.

Jemin's eyes flickered, and he said something that surprised them: "If you don't want to serve those female insects who haven't seen a male insect in over a decade, I can offer you another way out."

"What way out?"

A male insect mustered up its courage and asked.

There's nothing worse than this.

Jemin curled his lips into a smile, his voice clearly reaching the ears of each male insect.

"Provide mental and emotional support."

Among the males, there are also some who are quick-witted.

They realized that this was probably the real reason the female insects were capturing them.

Jemin continued to coax, "You only need to provide mental guidance to the female insects we arrange, and you won't have to serve a bunch of female insects."

"You must already know that those female insects are not the kind of creatures that show mercy to women."

It's clear, crystal clear.

The male insects couldn't help but cast their gazes toward Terry.

Terry, feeling their scrutiny, could no longer contain the pent-up frustration surging within him.

He clenched his fists and demanded of Jemin, "Why don't they need to make recommendations today?!"

What has he become?!

Is that the only joke?

Terry is now extremely resentful.

Jemin recognized him as the male insect that had been chosen yesterday, and gave Terry a dismissive look. "You can only blame your bad luck."

In fact, there was no last-minute change of plans; everything was premeditated.

They had anticipated that the male insects wouldn't easily agree to provide them with mental guidance, so yesterday's "recommendation" was just for show.

As they had expected, Jemin had already noticed several male insects subtly trembling.

Terry was so angry he was trembling.

The other party just let the matter drop so easily.

Unfortunately, Terry was helpless against this nonchalant female insect, and he couldn't possibly whip her to vent his anger as he had done before.

This area is no longer under the jurisdiction of the empire.

The female insects would not kneel before him like his female servants, nor would they allow him to beat or scold them.

Terry was extremely frustrated.

Some of the male insects questioned Jemin's words.

"How are the female insects' mental states?"

"We dare not go to guide the female insect that is about to have a mental breakdown. If the female insect suddenly attacks during the guidance process, the male insect will have nothing to protect itself."

The male insect, who had been about to agree to Jemin's request, suddenly realized, "Right, can you guarantee our safety?"

The mental state of these female insects is still unknown.

They dared not approach and soothe female insects with extremely volatile mental states, as they might lose their lives if they were not careful.

The smile on Jemin's face instantly turned cold. "This is your only option."

"I'm not here to bargain with you."

The male insects turned pale.

They now have only two choices.

One will be humiliated, while the other may lose their life.

The fear in the male insects' eyes was clearly visible. Realizing that his attitude had been a bit too harsh, Jemin softened his tone slightly, "You just go ahead and do your mental energy channeling. Do you think we'd let you get hurt?"

"Besides, you are precious and rare male insects. Losing even one of you would be a loss for us."

To increase credibility, Jemin added a sentence at the end.

The male insects exchanged glances, clearly persuaded by Jemin.

Seizing the opportunity, Jemin urged, "If you're not willing, I'll have to select a few more males tonight."

"You want to pick out several more?"

The male insects stared wide-eyed.

One insect was already enough to frighten and displease them, but the female insect was making outrageous demands, wanting to take several more.

The more male insects you select, the greater the probability that each of them will be chosen.

Jemin smiled and said, "Of course, gentlemen."

"As you can see, there are very few male insects here."

The female insect spoke arrogantly.

The male insects were furious, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Finally, a weak voice from a male insect rang out, "If you can guarantee my safety, I can help you with mental energy channeling."

Jemin gave a very gentle smile. "Of course, Your Excellency."

"We will not allow any of our precious male insects to be harmed."

He put on a good show.

Whether Jemin can actually do it remains to be seen.

The wounds on Cen Li's body and Terry's miserable appearance were warning signs.
