Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Richard had no intention of hiding his and Goldie's plans from Yekaterin.

He answered immediately to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Friend! It's just that I have plans to get married!"

That shrewd guy of his could never have failed to guess that Yekalin was eavesdropping. Only by carrying the communication conch shell on his person could he avoid those unnecessary misunderstandings.

Yekaterin knew, of course, that Richard and Goldie's marriage was a sham. After all, she had been secretly watching them ever since Richard left the Duke's mansion…

Seeing that Richard had completely revealed himself and had no intention of deceiving him.

Yekalin spoke with a hint of resentment:

"But you told her last night that we were just business partners?!"

Richard's tone finally became less indifferent:

"That's obviously a lie!"

The two locked eyes...

"Oh, I'll pass you for now."

Yekalin waved her hand, and the Storm Knights quickly floated into the sky.

She held the teacup in both hands, staring at Richard:

"So what do you think our relationship is?"

"I am your duke, and everyone in Stormwind knows that."

Yekalin smiled: Is Richard still unwilling to make the first move? In that case, she wouldn't mind continuing to play along.

Ekaterin corrected Richard:

"You are my puppet husband, not a duke. Do you understand, Richard Charlemagne?"

Richard also explained:

"I have no interest in Stormwind or power right now, do you understand, Yekaterin August?"

Yekalin snatched the tea from Richard's hand and drank it in one gulp:

"I don't like the August family, so don't mention that surname again."

"Then would you like to start a family with me?"

"cannot……"

Yekalin smiled, without waiting for Richard to ask why.

She immediately began to explain:

"I can't control the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen's abilities. You can't touch me... if you do, you'll become a puppet..."

Richard finally understood.

What Yekaterin was constantly worried about was that the implantation of the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen would create a flaw in her identity as a wife...

"So this is you? Why do you keep asking me if I'm afraid of you?"

"Um…"

"You didn't actually believe those rumors, did you? You really think I'm addicted to that kind of thing or something?"

"Eh?"

"You're so smart, how could you believe those things? This isn't like the Yekaterin I like."

"..."

"So, once you become a fourth-tier fully evolved being, will you be able to control the Blood-Slaying Spider Queen?"

"Um!"

"When I get the essence insect fluid back, how are you going to reward me? Like that morning?"

"Um…"

"I've realized you're still too childish... This kind of reward isn't appealing at all..."

"Eh?"

"I really want to have my own family. Can the family tree start with you and me?"

"Hey!"

"Don't just keep saying 'uh-huh' or 'eh-eh,' it's really bothering me. Those Storm Knights are watching."

"oh…"

Yekalin's face was completely red; she was not prepared to be teased by Richard any longer.

"Don't say that about me anymore! You regret it now?"

"Of course not!"

"Then hurry up and find me some essence insect venom!"

Now that Yekaterin has said so, Richard has even more reason to go find the essence insect nectar.

He stopped abruptly at the door.

"One last question, am I really just your puppet husband?"

"I'll tell you when I come back alive!"

Yekaterin did not see Richard off; she needed to calm down.

And that guy just gave a very detailed explanation of his plan to take over Stormwind.

Since he was confident in his ability to wield power, Yekaterin didn't mind delegating it... she even didn't mind letting Richard become a true duke.

As long as you confirm that he is loyal to you, that's enough.

Richard left the Duke's residence.

However, instead of heading directly to the fountain square, they led the pioneer team on their way.

He still needs to call Govi.

They arrived at the alchemist's shop again.

The gate was found to be locked.

What's going on? Even if Ge Wei hasn't gotten up yet, Ge Luoluo should be up by now, right?

Richard knocked on the door...

"Thump—"

No one responded.

Maintaining gentlemanly manners, Richard's knocking was naturally not too loud.

Just when they were at their wits' end.

"Open it yourself," Govi's languid voice came from behind.

A bunch of keys was thrown out of a second-floor window and caught precisely by Richard.

……

"Seriously, does Gloria sleep in too...? She was already asleep a long time ago..."

Richard pretended to complain as he went up to the second-floor bedroom.

I witnessed a scene he could never forget...

Goldie's bra, which she wore that night, was carelessly tossed by the door, along with another bra that wasn't Goldie's size...

Fortunately, I didn't go directly into the room.

Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Richard could certainly guess.

What happened after he left last night...?

Govi walked out of the bedroom, grumbling and cursing.

But she wasn't scolding Richard; she was just looking for her bra, and it turns out she'd left it by the door...

Richard came downstairs with a flushed face.

Govi's voice came through:

"Haven't you seen it? You're acting like you're so innocent."

A flash of purple light appeared upstairs, and Govi ​​had already fused with her amethyst armor.

"I really am innocent..." Richard looked at the Amethyst Knight, unable to think of anything to say.

"Are you all ready?" Govi ​​asked.

"Yes, let's set off immediately."

"Don't rush!" Ge Luoluo finished dressing.

They also came downstairs.

He pulled out a... belt!?

It is inlaid with silver insect-shaped jade and many intricate yellow patterns.

But Richard could still recognize it. It was definitely made of Silverwing Hunter-Slayers and Silverwing Devourers.

It was made from leaked materials!

Those two round lumps in the center of the belt, aren't they just the shrunken versions of the fourth-order silver demon insect?

The other accessories that make up the belt

Upon closer inspection, aren't they just a bunch of insects?

"This is?"

"Let's tentatively name it [Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Insect]. That's the name my sister gave it; you can ask the Dream Insect to find out what its abilities are..."

Glolo yawned and handed the belt to Richard.

Ignore the cringeworthy name that Gowei chose.

The moment Richard got it in his hand

The little girl with the dream bug started making the control panel...

"Data scanning..."

"Wow! So powerful!"

"Master! This is the first time I've ever felt such overwhelming power!!"

Richard: ...?

"Loading complete!"

—Supercomplex Cocoon Aggregate—

"Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Insect"

"Late-stage Fourth-Order Complete Form: Level 49.9!"

"Core Cocoon: 2 Tier 4 Silver Demon Insects"

"Attack Cocoon: Tier 3 Blade Insect x2"

"Flying Cocoon: 7 Tier 3 Silverwing Insects"

"Three-tiered functional insect cocoons: armored beetle, long-tongued beetle, air sac beetle, giant beetle, pain-relieving beetle, carrion beetle, and nose-sniffing beetle."

"Second-tier material insects: Coral Mushroom Bone Insect, Earth-Listening Fungus Insect..."

"First-tier material bug: ..."

"Energy Core Loaded: Thunder Demon Insect"

"Standby! Complete!!"

---

Richard was at a loss for words.

Glolo has fused the entire Silverwing Hunter Insect father and son together! And created a cocoon!?

This thing,

Just looking at the stats, it's incredibly powerful!

"This amazing artifact, you're giving it to me? So I can use it?"

Govi cleared her throat and spoke:

First of all! This is not a gift from us to you.

This was commissioned by Yekalin to be made by Glolo and given to you…
