Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

The Starry Sky Society's research has made progress.

Everything went very smoothly with the Dandelion Association as well.

Recently, for some reason, Anluo has been very well-behaved and has stopped causing trouble at the Dandelion Association with his gang.

Yan Mo, however, remained vigilant.

When the enemy is quiet, they must be up to no good.

"Anqing, has Anluo made things difficult for you?"

Yan Mo found some free time and invited An Qing to his home for dinner.

Thinking of Anluo, who hadn't been making any moves lately, she casually asked a question.

An Qing shook her head.

"Since the Dandelion Association was established, I have moved out of the Marshal's Mansion. An Luo did come to my place to make trouble a few times at first, but I usually stayed at the association and let him make trouble. After a few times, he got bored and stopped going."

Yan Mo frowned. This was the first time he had heard An Qing say that he had been harassed by An Luo before.

Yan Mo felt angry and somewhat uneasy.

"It's too dangerous for you to live alone out there. Why don't you move in with me and Lu Yao?"

An Qing was grateful for Yan Mo's kindness, but still shook her head and declined.

"Major General Lanze is away on a mission recently, which is fine, but I don't want to be a third wheel when he gets back."

An Qing smiled teasingly at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo looked at Lu Yao, who was struggling with a chicken leg.

"It's okay, we already have a big, shiny light bulb, one more won't make a difference."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

An Qing understood the meaning behind Yan Mo's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Yao looked up blankly at Yan Mo and An Qing.

Yan Mo: "Lu Yaoyao? Have you noticed you've gained quite a bit of weight recently? Will Yin not recognize you next time she sees you?"

Lu Yao: "...You're talking nonsense!"

After teasing Lu Yao for a while, An Qing continued, "The Dandelion Association pays a lot of money. I recently moved to a place with better security. If An Luo comes looking for me again, it won't be so easy."

Yan Mo nodded in agreement, only instructing An Qing to be careful.

"I'll talk to Lan Yang and see if we can arrange for two female soldiers to protect you."

An Qing quickly refused upon hearing this.

"No, no need."

He has almost completely lost contact with his family because of the Dandelion Association.

If they were to accept the protection of the Fourth Army, the situation would be entirely different.

Yan Mo also realized that the Marshal's Mansion and the Fourth Army were now enemies, and knowing An Qing's predicament, he had no choice but to stop mentioning finding a female soldier to protect him.

But he wasn't comfortable leaving it alone.

Yan Mo thought for a moment, then contacted General Rong Xun and asked him to send several female soldiers from the Third Army to secretly protect An Qing for a period of time.

Rong Xun immediately agreed.

The days passed by busily yet peacefully.

Yan Mo communicates with Lan Ze via a computer every day.

According to Lanze, he has already met up with Saines in the Epha Starfield.

"Sainz has become much stronger since returning from his training in the Alpha Starfield. He might be able to reach S-rank soon."

Lanze was genuinely happy for Sainz.

"However, his mental energy was also much more polluted. I gave him a few of the purification potions you gave me to prevent him from going on the verge of a riot."

Yan Mo was alarmed: "It's good that you're alright. Do you have enough purification potions? Should I send some to Epha Star?"

Lanze shook his head: "No need, this time we'll go directly to Star 1347 and won't stay on Star Epha."

"Sainz's mental strength has stabilized for the time being, but to completely solve the pollution problem, we still need to return to the capital planet."

Yan Mo nodded: "After you return from your mission, have Sainz go to the Dandelion Association to find me."

Lan Ze nodded.

Her gaze softened immediately: "My lord, are you alright?"

A smile appeared in Yan Mo's eyes.

"I'm fine."

He recounted his recent activities to Lanze in detail. When Lanze heard that the Starry Sky Society's research had made progress, a glimmer of light appeared in Lanze's eyes, and he was also pleased about it.

It seems that everything has been getting better and better for him ever since he met Yan Mo.

Lan Ze looked at the image of Yan Mo projected on the quantum computer and reached out to touch it, but unfortunately he couldn't touch anything.

Yan Mo noticed his actions.

He leaned forward and made a hollow embrace gesture, as if holding Lan Ze in his arms.

"cough."

Yan Mo coughed lightly: "There's just one thing that's not quite right."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze immediately looked at Yan Mo with concern.

Yan Mo's eyes crinkled into a smile: "I just missed you so much."

Lan Ze's ears burned, but he still couldn't get used to Yan Mo's passionate and straightforward manner.

Yan Mo asked with a smile, "And you? Have you missed me?"

After a while, a clear, cool voice uttered a soft "Mm".

This made Yan Mo happy all day.

Yan Mo sensed something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the Dandelion Association.

The association asked Lan to hire a group of female insect employees to handle logistics.

They were all female insects and sub-females with clean backgrounds. After observing them for a period of time, Yan Mo and An Qing handed over the logistical matters to them, and only made decisions and handled treatment matters themselves.

With the addition of these female insect employees, they saved themselves a lot of trouble.

When Yan Mo came over today, he found the female receptionist in the lobby looking strange.

Upon seeing Yan Mo approach, a female insect immediately trotted over and whispered, "Lord Yan Mo, something has happened. Lord An Qing's father has brought insects and is determined to take Lord An Qing back."

Yan Mo's expression turned cold, and he strode towards An Qing's office.

From afar, one could hear a noisy commotion coming from ahead.

"You damned brat! Who gave you permission to disobey your father? Today, you must come back with me, or I'm not leaving and I'll turn this place upside down."

"Chen Xu, go call security and kick them out."

Yan Mo looked at the male insect that was making a scene and said coldly.

Upon hearing Yan Mo's instructions, Chen Xu, the female insect who had just delivered the message, immediately agreed and opened her personal terminal to contact the security room.

"You...you...you dare!"

The troublemaking male insect, An Hong, the father of An Qing and An Luo, pointed a trembling finger at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo gave him a cold look: "Why wouldn't I dare? Causing trouble in a federal government department is illegal!"

He then shouted to Chen Xu, "Call the police again via their personal communication devices and tell them to come and take these troublemakers away."

An Hong was so angry that his face contorted with rage.

But they didn't dare to confront Yan Mo head-on.

Since the Dandelion Association was established, those higher-level male insects who did not join the association have clearly felt the gap. The Male Insect Protection Association will no longer stand unconditionally on the side of male insects as it did before.

Ironically, the lower-ranking males who joined the Dandelion Association were more respected and popular than before.

Today, the police were called in. He was in the wrong to begin with, so the police definitely won't side with him.

An Hong snorted angrily.

"An Qing, at your age, you should have married a female long ago. What's wrong with me, as your male father, arranging your marriage? You don't need to hide. If you don't return to the An family tonight, I'll go to the Male Insect Protection Association and ask Chairman Eugene to judge this matter. What kind of association doesn't allow male insects to go home and get married? It's hindering the insect race's reproduction. I want to see if Chairman Eugene will take care of this matter."

After saying that, An Hong spat on the ground and left in a menacing manner with his large group of female servants.

Yan Mo asked Chen Xu to tidy up the insects and then let the surrounding employees go back to their work.

Then I went into Anqing's office.

Many things in the office had been smashed by the insects that An Hong had brought.

Yan Mo looked grim. Only after discovering that An Qing was unharmed did he find a relatively clean place to sit down.

"What happened? Did they contact you before?"

An Qing looked exhausted: "They contacted me several times using the quantum computer, all to arrange a marriage for me. I ignored them, so today I had Xiong's father come to my door with the insects."

An Qing's smile was somewhat sarcastic.

"They usually act as if I, this little bug, don't exist in the Marshal's Mansion, but when they need me, they call me back for a marriage alliance."

He was traveling on another planet when he was summoned back to the capital planet by a message from Marshal Sith via his personal terminal, only to find out that his family had arranged a marriage for him.

An Qing naturally disagreed. He already had someone he liked in his heart, and he didn't want to marry any other female insect as his queen.

Due to An Qing's strong opposition, the matter was temporarily shelved for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, after some time, they brought up the matter again.

An Qing, of course, still refused.

Yan Mo knew that An Qing liked Sainz.

He also intended to match An Qing and Sainz, but the problem was that before returning to the capital planet, Yan Mo could tell from some of Sainz's words and Lan Ze's stories that Sainz seemed to have a white moonlight male insect he liked.

In that case, he might not accept An Qing's affections.

Therefore, Yan Mo dared not act rashly.

One is Lanze's friend, and the other is his friend. If the marriage doesn't work out, it would only be awkward for them to expose it.

So Yan Mo asked An Qing, "Do you have any plans?"
