Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

"No." Fei's expression was exceptionally resolute.

If he hadn't encountered the Jiang family, he might have already died on the western battlefield;

Or perhaps he should have already been promoted to lieutenant general and be free to choose his future;

At worst, if he really couldn't escape the fate of marrying those male insects, he could simply fight to the death.

However, he was ultimately lucky.

Shuya's gaze fell on his face. She didn't respond, then smiled softly and looked away.

The noisy party hall suddenly fell silent, and Jiang Xu, sitting in the corner, couldn't help but notice something was amiss.

When he looked toward the center of the meeting hall, the insects in the center had already made way for a female insect to slowly walk out.

The female insect seemed not to have expected Jiang Xu to turn his head at that exact moment. She hurriedly looked away, her eyes darting around. After a moment, as if she had made a great decision, she turned back to look at Jiang Xu.

The pattering footsteps echoed in the hall, stirring the hearts of all the insects present. Everyone seemed curious about what would happen next.

A shadow fell, obscuring most of Jiang Xu's body.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xu looked up at the owner of the shadow.

"Thump—" The sound of his knee hitting the ground was particularly clear. He watched as the female insect in front of him suddenly lowered her body and knelt down in front of him.

"Lord Jiang Xu, please discipline me." The female insect knelt down and slammed her forehead heavily onto the floor.

"......." Jiang Xu looked inscrutable toward the center of the swarm, where he met the gaze of the male insect named Achilles, who arrogantly raised his head toward him.

"Go back." He withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice to the kneeling female insect.

But the female insect remained motionless, as if determined to follow Jiang Xu home that night.

Jiang Xu took a deep breath, looked down at the insect at his feet, and spoke again, the chill in his voice slowly spreading through the banquet hall: "Go back."

All the insects present could sense his displeasure, but there were always some insects who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

"Lord Jiang Xu, why don't you accept this female insect that's offered to you?" Achilles' words were full of mocking laughter.

"That's right," a swarm of insects immediately chimed in.

In their eyes, this was a great thing, and the female insects that were sent were quite good-looking. In terms of long legs and waist, they were no less impressive than Fei, who was standing next to Jiang Xu.

Wow, that's impressive.

"Your Excellency Jiang Xu, is there perhaps something wrong with your health? I know a good doctor who I can introduce you to."

"Hahahaha~" The quiet party room was instantly filled with laughter.

How could Fei tolerate being publicly mocked for his powerful lord?

He suddenly stood up, wanting to rush over and teach those male insects a lesson, but his wrist was grabbed by Jiang Xu beside him.

Jiang Xu's voice rang out calmly, clearly echoing throughout the hall: "If a dog bites you, will you bite it back?"

He turned his head to look at Fei, his tone revealing no anger whatsoever.

"I'll bite him to death." Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intently at the group of male insects opposite him.

Jiang Xu pulled him back to the sofa, gently tapped his forehead affectionately, his eyes full of helplessness.

He then straightened up, walked past the female insects at his feet, his face showing no anger, and stepped into the center of the male insects.

His gaze slowly swept over the surrounding insects, and after locking onto the male insect that had just spoken, he walked straight toward it.

He stopped two steps away from him and asked in a deep voice, "Did you say those words just now?"

The male insect clearly avoided eye contact.

He had been able to muster courage while echoing the insect swarm, but now that the person in question was standing in front of him, and considering the Jiang family's identity, he suddenly felt somewhat insecure.

Jiang Xu stared at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips into a mocking smile: "You're a disgrace to male insects, daring to do it but not daring to admit it?"

These words clearly struck a nerve. The male insect, his face flushed red, forced a fierce retort: ​​"It was me who said it, so what?"

Jiang Xu shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Good that you admit it."

After all, when it comes to fighting insects, there has to be a legitimate reason, right?

Jiang Xu still had a faint smile on his face, but the next second, before the surrounding male insects could even see what was happening, the male insect that had just spoken was already flying out and crashing heavily in the distance.

He used all his strength in that kick.

The male insects present looked at Jiang Xu in shock. Although they couldn't see clearly how he kicked the male insect away, it didn't stop them from being certain that it was this insect that did it.

Achilles' smile vanished instantly, and he stared coldly at him, saying, "Are you insane?"

Doesn't Jiang Xu understand how serious the crime of harming male insects is?

Moreover, doesn't he even consider the powerful family backgrounds of the insects who can attend today's banquet?

Jiang Xu raised his hand and patted the dust off his clothes, looking puzzled, and said, "At most, male insects fight each other. I don't think the Male Insect Protection Association will bother me with such a small matter."

After all, he was the one who spoke first. I'm not good with words, so I had to resort to violence.

He spoke with such righteous indignation, as if beating a male insect was nothing more than a trivial matter, which he simply glossed over.

Jiang Baiyou was also shocked by Jiang Xu's swift movements, and an incredulous look flashed in his eyes.

He too suppressed his smile, scrutinized Jiang Xu for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who you kicked?"

"have no idea."

"..." Jiang Baiyou was amused by his nonchalant attitude: "The Xu family of Nanbu."

As if to prove his words, Xu Xi, who had been kicked away, got up from the ground. He clutched his chest with one hand and pointed at Jiang Xu with the other, saying viciously:

"Jiang Xu—Do you know whose male insect I am?"

Jiang Xu looked at him as if he were an idiot and said indifferently, "The Xu family."

"You know I come from the Xu family, yet you still dare to treat me like this? You're publicly slapping the Xu family in the face!" A look of astonishment flashed in Xu Xi's eyes, which were then completely overwhelmed by anger.

He turned his head and glanced around, his gaze meeting that of the female insect who had just entered the party hall.

The female insect clearly hadn't expected such a thing to happen while she was gone for a moment, and immediately ran towards him with fear and worry.

"Master, what's wrong?" The female insect noticed the footprints on his body and quickly reached out to support him.

In such a situation, who would dare to openly beat a male insect?

He looked up at the swarm of insects and his gaze met that of Jiang Xu, who was standing in the center.

The other person made no attempt to hide their gaze and stared straight at them.

Xu Xi raised his hand and slapped the female insect across the face, shouting angrily, "Where were you just now?"

The female insect immediately knelt down and replied in a low voice, "I spent some time with my father in the banquet hall."

In fact, he accompanied his female father to meet the head of the Jiang family to discuss cooperation between the two families.

That's why he recognized Jiang Xu as soon as he came in.

He just didn't expect that such a big thing would happen here in just one hour.

"Please forgive me, Master." The female insect lowered her head, her hands still raised above her head, carefully supporting Xu Xi.
