A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

"Honey, your uncle has already spoken to Warden Kelton, they definitely won't make things difficult for you."

Shi Yu looked worried and couldn't help but remind him again.

She reached out and pulled Chris into her arms, her heart filled with deep reluctance.

He leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "If you encounter any fools who provoke you, don't hold back."

My current mental strength level is SS, which is more than enough to protect you.

He deeply regretted not going to the Male Insect Protection Association to have his mental strength level tested.

The thought of Chris having to work in the harsh conditions of the mine made my heart ache terribly.

Chris's eyes reddened, and he choked out a reply.

He knew perfectly well that as long as the powerful ruler revealed his mental strength level, he could be exempt from punishment.

However, he could not forgive himself whenever he thought of the thirty-two soldiers who were eaten by the rotting corpses.

For abandoning his post and for poor command, the Insect Emperor was furious and punished for both offenses.

Only by imposing severe penalties can we silence public criticism.

Chris fought back tears and kissed the male king on the cheek.

He comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, even without bone wings, they are no match for me."

Looking at Chris's feigned strength, Shi Yu felt even more sorry for him.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today, but I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."

The mine is heavily guarded, with a large number of soldiers on duty, and any unauthorized insects or other pests are strictly prohibited from approaching.

Shi Yu was stopped outside the iron gate and could only watch helplessly as Chris was taken away by two soldiers and walked further and further away.

I thought I had to settle down as soon as possible so I could come see my wife early tomorrow.

He strode toward the buildings near the mine, the road beneath his feet a rough, uneven mix of mud and rocks, with piles of earth on either side.

Behind the mound of earth, you could vaguely see several dirty and disheveled female soldiers lying there quietly.

They were wearing thin prison uniforms, which offered little protection against the cold.

The prison uniform was so worn that its original color was no longer visible, and in some places it was even torn into pieces, ready to fall off at any moment.

The exposed parts of the body were covered in stains.

They all had sallow complexions, high cheekbones, and deeply sunken eyes.

They looked emaciated, ravaged by hunger and suffering, and no longer resembled worms.

The air was thick with the smell of decay, but they seemed completely oblivious to the stench.

He lay there motionless, only his eyes harboring malice.

Shi Yu glanced at it quickly and then looked away without pausing his steps.

He didn't know why these female soldiers were abandoned outside the mine.

Since I'm new here and don't know much about the situation, it's best to be cautious.

Just then, a thin, sub-female suddenly emerged from behind a nearby mound of earth.

He limped over, his right ankle wrapped in a tattered cloth, the bloodstains on the cloth already dried.

Shi Yu noticed that the sub-female also had wounds on other parts of its body, which looked like they were from being bitten by a star beast, and were gruesome and terrifying.

The submissive knelt down with a thud, her knees hitting the stones with a dull thud.

But he seemed completely oblivious to the pain, only pleading incessantly.

"My lord, I beg you, please have mercy and give me some money to buy food!"

Shi Yu wanted to find out more about the mine, but he still needed to observe it for a while.

So, he deliberately put on a stern face and shouted, "Get lost, I don't have any extra food for you."

He walked a distance and saw that the female had not followed.

She walked back and looked down at him.

"I need to find a place to stay. Can you show me the way? If you can satisfy me, I'll treat you to a meal."

Upon hearing the male insect's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the sub-female's eyes.

He quickly got up from the ground, and despite his leg injury, he still walked quickly to the male insect.

He bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will definitely find you a suitable place to stay."

After saying that, the submissive turned around and led the way, dragging her injured leg.

Shi Yu slowed down and followed behind him, while observing the surrounding environment and the sub-female's every move.

He asked casually, "Are there any hotels in this godforsaken place?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The sub-female answered quickly, glancing back at the same time.

His gaze lingered briefly on the male insect.

He continued, "You just came from the Imperial Star, right? On Amethyst Star, you can buy anything as long as you have enough star coins."

Shi Yu did not deny it.

Realizing that the sub-female didn't seem particularly curious about his identity, he decided to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

"I did just come from the Imperial Star, but I'm not a sinner."

He slightly raised his chin, his expression arrogant.

"Aren't you even a little bit curious about what I'm doing here?"

The submissive woman gave a wry smile at first, then answered with some helplessness.

"I'm starving to death, how can I possibly care about anything else?"

As soon as she spoke, the submissive woman realized that her words had been too presumptuous.

He quickly suppressed his smile and resumed his previous respectful attitude.

"However, I have heard some rumors. I heard that General Chris, the former star of the Empire, was exiled to Amethyst Star because of his poor command."

In the past few days, many male insects of noble status like yourself have come from the Imperial Star.

It is said that an auction will be held at the Grand Hotel in ten days, and the object of the auction is General Chris.

"Didn't you come here specifically for him?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu's face instantly darkened, and a murderous aura gathered between his brows.

He shouted angrily, "What did you say?"

Hearing the male insect's voice revealing obvious anger, the sub-female was intimidated and her body trembled uncontrollably.

He hugged himself and begged for mercy.

"Your Excellency, I...I was wrong, please don't hit me..."

Shi Yu's eyes were bloodshot.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, trying to control the rising anger within him.

He gritted his teeth and softened his tone.

"Thank you for telling me all this. What kind of reward do you want? I will try my best to meet it."

"Really? I want to have a proper meal."

The submissive's eyes lit up.

The male insect's promise is like a ray of dawn suddenly appearing in the darkness.

He had been starving for several days and his body was already extremely weak.

If I could have a full meal, I would die without regrets.

A surge of joy welled up in the sub-female's heart.

Imagine yourself enjoying delicious food to your heart's content, satisfying your stomach that is tormented by hunger.

If insects have a next life, he must be a male insect.

The male insect not only doesn't have to be beaten every day, but it can also eat its fill, which is the life it has always dreamed of.

"Then so be it."

Shi Yu spoke calmly, his eyes still cold and horrified.
