Chapter 60 Castles in the Air
Hills took off his shirt, revealing his insect wings, and knelt on the cold floor.
The long whip sliced through the air.
The pain, like being cut by a knife, made Hills pale, but he dared not use his mental defenses, letting the male insect vent its anger.
Without the repair of mental energy, the female insect's own healing ability will also deteriorate, and before long, Hills was covered in wounds.
"Bloody worm, bastard worm!"
Anlu shouted angrily.
The news of Yan Mo's split had spread throughout the entire interstellar space, and An Luo naturally knew about it as well.
Upon learning that Lanze and Yanmo had already registered with the Male Insect Protection Association, Anluo began to throw a tantrum at home.
Finally, he got tired of hitting and turned to sit on the sofa.
Upon seeing this, Hills crawled to his side, a charming smile appearing on her pale face.
"The lord is furious! Hills will be heartbroken!"
Anlu reached out and touched Hills' cheek, patting it with satisfaction. A pheromone wafted from his hand as a reward. Seeing the affectionate expression on Hills' face, Anlu's eyes deepened.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes: "Since it's already filthy, then I don't want it anymore. But what I can't have, no other insect can have either."
"My lord," another female servant of Anluo walked in, her expression unchanged despite the chaotic scene before her, "Lord Anqing has returned to the capital planet."
Anlu frowned deeply, ignoring the female insect's trembling, and pinched the base of its wounded wings.
"What's that good-for-nothing doing back here?"
The female attendant stepped forward and unbuttoned her blouse: "I heard it was the Marshal's idea."
"Female father?"
A hint of mockery flashed in An Luo's eyes: "Let him come back then. A D-rank useless guy can't cause any trouble."
After the news of Yan Mo's differentiation into an S-class male insect spread, the Lan family manor received countless invitations.
Every family on the capital planet would send him a gift to their balls, cocktail parties, and other events.
The Capital Star Insect Group, which had previously seemed to be keeping Yan Mo at arm's length, has gradually shown interest in easing tensions with him.
Despite past grievances, Yan Mo gladly accepted several invitations and attended several banquets with Lu Yao.
Yan Mo declined several banquets that day, taking a rare break at home.
Lu Yao slumped on the sofa like he had no bones, complaining, "Finally, I got a day off. Those banquets were so boring and tedious. I don't know why you were so enthusiastic about them?"
Lu Yao used to rarely attend banquets among male insects. Although he came from a noble family, he disliked getting involved in the intricate dealings with those annoying insects.
He looked down on the activities that those noble male insects liked. Most of his previous conflicts with other male insects were because he couldn't stand how they played with female insects too much.
However, the noble male insects mostly brought their own female servants and slaves to the banquets, so it was inappropriate for him to interfere. Later, he decided to avoid seeing them and attended fewer banquets.
Yan Mo took a sip of the small, round-bubbled floral tea and shook his head: "Having been on the capital planet for so many years, do you know about the power dynamics among the male insects?"
Lu Yao looked up in confusion, then frowned and said, "Why do I need to know all this? Aren't they just a bunch of like-minded males? I can't be bothered with them."
Yan Mo was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile: "Yes, what you said makes sense."
Over the past few days of banquets, he has gradually figured out the relationships between the noble male insects of the capital star.
First, there's the Golden Club, led by the eldest son of the Marshal's Mansion, Xiong Chong Anluo. The members of this group are basically the same people Yan Mo saw in the private room last time.
Anluo and Kelin are A-level male insects, while the lowest-ranking members are B-level, all of whom are noble male insects who are attached to the Marshal's power.
The other generals of the First Legion, Second Legion, and Third Legion all have A-level male insects in their homes. These male insects have each formed their own male insect clubs, and the members of these clubs are mostly from the subordinate forces of the First, Second, and Third Legions.
General Lanhechen has no male offspring, but his male lord has Lu Yao. If Lu Yao were to form a male insect club, the male insects under the Fourth Legion would likely gravitate towards him.
But so far, Yan Mo has not seen any other club members.
The rest are some scattered small clubs.
Yan Mo has been attending banquets these past few days. One reason is that Lan Ze is very busy in the military, so he is looking for something to do to pass the time and also to get to know other male insects.
Another reason was that he wanted to see what kind of male insects the capital planet had; he hadn't forgotten the bet he made with Lanze.
After a few days, Yan Mo felt that he might have been looking in the wrong direction. The banquets he attended were all hosted by nobles, and it would be difficult to find male insects willing to cooperate with pheromone experiments among them.
As beneficiaries of the existing system, unless they, like Lu Yao, have some reflections triggered by their concern for their loved ones, it is difficult for them to remain clear-headed amidst the confusion of being idolized.
Lu Yao sat up, looking at Yan Mo with a puzzled expression: "So what exactly do you want to do?"
Yan Mo was silent for a moment, then looked at Lu Yao: "Don't you think that the current status of male insects is like a castle in the air? It looks prosperous, but who knows, it might collapse one day when a crisis comes?"
Lu Yao was taken aback, then frowned: "You mean, what happened before the Great Purge will happen again?"
Yan Mo was somewhat surprised that Lu Yao actually knew about this history. Judging from his understanding of the noble male insects over the past few days, the Great Purge happened too long ago. Many young male insects only knew about it, but did not understand what exactly happened.
These things aren't really secrets. Apart from the confidential documents Lan Ze told him about, all the others can be found on the StarNet. It seems Lu Yao isn't completely ignorant after all.
"I've been looking into some related history for a while," Lu Yao explained, then sighed in frustration, "That's true. Given the current situation, it's not impossible for another Great Purge to happen, but there's nothing we can do about it."
Yan Mo patted Lu Yao on the shoulder.
In fact, the reason he thought of these things was because he had differentiated into an S-class male insect.
If the female insect's hatred for the male insect truly reaches the point of backlash, Yan Mo, as an S-class male insect, would likely be the first target.
His initial goal was to find male insects to cooperate with the pheromone experiment so that Lanze could rekindle his original intention in creating the Starry Sky Society. He could see that although Lanze had withdrawn from the Starry Sky Society and appeared to have given up hope of changing the gender balance, he still had expectations.
Lanze wanted a world that was fairer to female insects, one where they wouldn't be tormented by the pollution of the mental domain, and where they wouldn't have to lose their dignity and suffer endless torment under the male insects just to survive.
Therefore, Yan Mo was willing to help him create such a world.
However, his later differentiation into an S-class male insect and his assistance to the Starburst Society revealed a degree of self-interest.
"I want to build a staircase for this castle in the air, so that it won't collapse one day and take us all to pieces."
He didn't want to become a victim in the battle between female and male insects, but his S-rank status inevitably made him a sitting duck. In order to live longer and grow old with Lanze, he had to find a way to get himself safely to the ground.
