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

Alright, Jiang Xu understands. He only gave the other party a compliment, and the other party got all cocky again.

Never mind, never mind.

Jiang Xu thought to himself that the other person had indeed changed a lot, and now he spoke in a more sensible manner.

Just then, a huge uproar erupted downstairs, filled with various curses. All the insects' attention was drawn back downstairs.

Bernd looked up at the viewing platform and asked curiously, "What's happening down there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xu stood up from his seat and walked towards the railing.

Many insects downstairs stood up from their seats, staring angrily at the central arena.

Jiang Xu followed their gaze to the center, where he saw various wine glasses, plates and other utensils scattered on the arena, and a female insect lying motionless on the ground.

The female insect's face was turned away from Jiang Xu, so he couldn't see her current condition at all.

The insects downstairs continued their furious shouts, while the female insect on the stage had long since lost consciousness.

"Get up! Stop pretending to be dead!"

Jiang Xu vaguely heard the male insect standing by the arena, trying to walk onto the stage, shout.

"..." The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Jiang Xu looked at Zoe, who had somehow appeared beside him, and asked, "Who's that bug by the arena?"

"where?"

Before Zoe could even ask, Bernd chimed in, "Who else could it be? Of course, it's that guy Aesop."

She has the face of an angel but the heart of a devil; she's incredibly psychologically disturbed.

"..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu immediately pictured the face of a male insect. "It's him!"

Even after all this time, they still like to play these tricks.

He looked at the fallen female insect, his brow furrowing slightly. He remembered the female insect's name—Julian.

From the moment he first saw Aesop, the female insect had been following him around.

"Don't they care?" Jiang Xu frowned even more as he looked at the female insect on the platform.

"Heh." Bernd sneered as if he had heard a joke. "What do you care? Countless things like this happen every day in the Zerg. Who can keep track of them all?"

"If a female dies, you can remarry. You should know that the Zerg have no shortage of females."

Bernd, who had been a bit carefree just moments before, suddenly became serious. Jiang Xu glanced at him with some surprise, only to be met with a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes.

The female insect on the platform was too badly injured, and medics quickly carried her off the platform.

Aesop stood to the side, still muttering something, but his voice was drowned out by the surrounding curses.

Suddenly, Aesop, standing by the ring, looked up at Jiang Xu and their eyes met.

The next second, a dramatic change of expression unfolded. Aesop, who had been speaking, instantly shut his mouth, a smile quickly spreading across his face, revealing an angelic countenance to the insects.

"See? I told you he was a pervert." Bernd withdrew his gaze from Aesop and turned to Jiang Xu with a low voice.

"..." Jiang Xu looked at Aesop's unsettling smile and chimed in, "He is indeed perverted."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked, "I don't quite remember how we met. Does anyone remember?"

According to Jiang Xu's deduction, the original owner probably wouldn't like male insects like Aesop either, so why did they come together at the gathering?

This is really strange.

Jiang Xu's question stumped Bernd as well.

He looked down at the building and thought for a long time: "I don't remember either, but he's been in our circle ever since I can remember."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zoe, leaving all his questions to her.

Zoe looked at the gazes coming from both sides with a sense of helplessness.

He frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the scene when he first met Aesop, but it had been so long that he couldn't remember it very clearly.

Just when Jiang Xu and Bernd thought they wouldn't get an answer, Zoe suddenly spoke up: "It seems to have been brought by other insects to celebrate the day Bernd came to the capital."

Although the Alvis family has ties with royalty, Zoe never interacts with members of the royal family in private.

He still remembered this incident because he had unexpectedly seen Aesop at the party that day, which surprised him.

How did the royal family's insects end up there?

"Huh?" Bernd looked at him in surprise. "Really?"

He frantically searched his memory for related information, but found nothing.

"It should be, but I don't remember who brought him here. It's been too long!"

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's easy to forget things when you're a child, especially since he was at an age where he was very playful. Who would bother to remember these things?

"That's quite a long time indeed," Bernd remarked. "It's been almost fifteen years since our family moved from Hope Star to the capital."

Thinking about it, the three of us have been together for so many years.

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt inexplicably excited. He really was capable; otherwise, how could he have made two such amazing friends?

He nodded silently, becoming even more certain of his thoughts.

When he looked downstairs again, Aesop had disappeared from the side of the ring.

"Huh? What about that pervert?"

"........" Jiang Xu looked at him, speechless. "Don't call him that. If some scheming insect overhears it, it will only cause you trouble."

"Who's afraid of him?" Bernd said dismissively, pursing his lips.

"Is that so?" A voice that shouldn't have been there suddenly interrupted, startling Bernd.

"Damn! What are you doing here?" He exclaimed, looking at Aesop standing at the door of the private room.

"Seeing some old friends, I should at least come up and say hello, shouldn't I?" Aesop lifted the curtain and walked into the private room, his gaze quickly sweeping across the room.

In addition to the three male insects, there were also three female insects.

Yes, he was familiar with two of them.

very nice.

His gaze swept over the two female insects, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, each one is better looking than the last.

If I remember correctly, the female insect in the Bernd family was a general, right?

He withdrew his gaze from Fei and turned to look at Lan.

The three female insects present immediately stood up and bowed to Aesop: "Your Excellency Aesop, good day."

"Hmm." Aesop nodded to the three female insects. "You're all here today, why don't you go down and have a contest?"

His gaze returned to Lan, and he asked, "I remember you're a female insect from the Bernd family, right?"

"Yes." Lan didn't understand why the other person would suddenly ask him that question. The gaze that was looking him up and down made him extremely uncomfortable.

Since marrying Bernd, no male insect has looked at him like that in a long time.

Their eyes didn't look like they were looking at a living creature at all.

"Are you a general?"

As Aesop asked the question, he walked toward Lan.

Just as they were about to get close to Lan, Bernd's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward, blocking the two insects perfectly.

"Let's talk this out. What? You want to fight?" He stared at Aesop's hand, which was already slightly raised, his tone full of displeasure.
