Under his tense gaze, Jiang Xu slowly responded with a single word: "Yes."

Jiang Xu realized that the female insect opposite him was really easy to fool; it seemed that no matter what absurd things he said, she could believe them.

He slowly opened his arms to Fei, and what greeted him was the female insect once again rushing into his arms.

Jiang Xu wrapped his arms tightly around his waist, gently nuzzled the female insect's neck, and whispered, "I will never leave again."

After the other person calmed down, he reached out and touched his head, then whispered and slowly recounted what had happened in the dark space.

Jiang Xu spoke very slowly and in great detail, as if he wanted to lay out every single detail before him.

"You mean, a human cub died on the mountain, and his corpse sucked you in, and then he came back to life?" Fei leaned on Jiang Xu's shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, after that child woke up, he couldn't remember anything, so his grandfather took him in." Jiang Xu had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He paused, then added, "Although it's not the end yet, I know that my grandfather will definitely adopt him in the future and name him Jiang Xu."

Upon hearing this, both insects fell silent.

"Then why did you go to the human world?" Fei asked after a long pause.

Jiang Xu shook his head, indicating that he did not know: "Although I don't know now, I think I might find the answer when I return to that space later."

There will always be an answer, it's just not the right time yet.

Jiang Xu's expression turned somewhat solemn: "I saw a painting in the illusion, it was very abstract. But another part of my memory tells me that I should have watched him grow up since I was a child."

As a child, he didn't think there was anything wrong with these old things. As he grew up, he took them for granted and ignored them.

Looking back now, it seems there is some connection with the Jiang family in the south.

"What's on it?" Fei asked.

"The totem of the Jiang family in the south." It is very vague, simply and clearly hidden in a painting that is often seen, with a painting serving as a false background.

If he hadn't seen it again this time, he would have long since thrown that painting into the sea of ​​his memory, covered, submerged, and forgotten.

"By the way," Jiang Xu looked down at the insect in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness, and said earnestly, "Do you remember the places the Jiang family from the South visited in the East this time?"

Fei nodded: "I remember."

"Tomorrow, you will report to General Lan on the whereabouts of those insects these past few days and study them carefully. He always feels that the places they visited this time have some kind of purpose."

Jiang Xu is not entirely sure yet. Although he is still in the process of merging the memories from both sides, they are incomplete and missing.

"You mean, those insects are actually investigating something?" Fei felt that scouting seemed more appropriate than investigating.

Jiang Xu nodded, agreeing with his guess: "Although they are very careful, if they were just here to visit, they wouldn't do so many unnecessary things."

During the time I spent with them, it was clear that their interests lay elsewhere.

Even so, the insects still went through each and every spot.

Fei calmed down and listened carefully to Jiang Xu's words. His mind raced, connecting all the anomalies of the Southern Insects.

The strange feeling that had been there before was now like the thin layer of fog being peeled away, and some things were gradually becoming clearer.

"Understood. I will go to the military headquarters first thing tomorrow morning." Fei spoke very formally, but his hand held Jiang Xu tightly, guiding the other's hand to his face and gently rubbing it.

Jiang Xu looked down at himself in Fei's eyes, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

"Okay," Jiang Xu nodded, his tone relieved, and gently stroked Fei's hand: "I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days."

Although his words were still slightly hesitant, he knew that this was what his heart truly desired.

The bedroom fell silent, with only the warm yellow glow of the nightlight gently illuminating the two insects, filling the air with a cozy yet resolute atmosphere.

After a while, Fei seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression became very serious, and he leaned closer to Jiang Xu, asking again, "As long as you're here, that's good."

Under this premise, worries are meaningless.

Although he did not say it directly, Jiang Xu already understood what he meant.

The sky outside gradually turned white, and the sun slowly rose from the horizon.

Fei Xin looked at Jiang Xu with a heavy heart, seemingly afraid that he would revert to his cold demeanor.

Jiang Xu looked at his worried eyes, then held him and sat on the bed, waiting for the sky to turn completely white.

"A powerful ruler?" Fei called out tentatively.

Jiang Xu reached out and pinched his nose, his voice full of doting: "I told you, I won't leave again."

Only now does Fei seem to truly believe it.

Seeing that Jiang Xu was about to get up, he hurriedly pushed him back into bed, pulled the blanket next to him, and held him down.

"My lord, please rest a little longer. I'll wake you up when I get back from the military."

Jiang Xu looked at his worried eyes and said helplessly, "I'm really fine."

Fei firmly held Jiang Xu down, not allowing him to struggle at all: "Please promise me, okay?"

Jiang Xu, who had been struggling, was now completely still. He reached out and pulled the blanket over himself: "Okay."

Upon hearing his reply, Fei immediately rolled out of bed and said earnestly, "You promised me. You get some rest, I promise I'll be back soon."

He quickened his pace, finished everything quickly, and returned to the bedside, glancing at Jiang Xu who was resting with his eyes closed.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "My lord, good day."

This was the first time they had truly greeted each other since he returned from the West.

He looked at Jiang Xu's slightly upturned lips, a blush rising to the tips of his ears. He pursed his lips and gently kissed the corner of Jiang Xu's mouth.

He then fled the bedroom as if escaping.

Hearing the door close, Jiang Xu slowly opened his eyes and smiled silently. This female insect was so easily embarrassed. She had been so bold for several nights in a row, but now she was innocent and pure.

The stark contrast left Jiang Xu at a loss for words when it came to describing the insect.

However, he quickly closed his eyes again.

These past few days, a pile of things have been piling up, leaving him not only to deal with the insects in the south, but also with the affairs of Mitang.

Then mix in his fragmented memories.

It made him quite tired.

Perhaps that's why the female insect did that.

Jiang Xu closed his eyes again, and this time he slept soundly and peacefully.

This time, he wasn't dreaming.

All he knew was that when he opened his eyes, the female insect was already sitting by the bed, staring at him intently. When she saw him open his eyes, a gentle look flashed across her eyes.

"My lord, you're awake?" He immediately stepped forward to support Jiang Xu, his eyes filled with joy and a touch of worry.
