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

Jiang Xu chuckled softly, thought for a moment, and replied, "For example, getting plenty of rest, recovering from injuries, and taking good care of yourself."

"It's that simple?" Fei looked at Jiang Xu with surprise.

"Yes, it's that simple. Can you do it?" Jiang Xu leaned over and patted his head. "I have to go."

Fei rolled out of bed and quickly walked to Jiang Xu's side: "I'll see you out."

"You should rest well. We don't know when the next battle will be, so you should conserve your energy now." Jiang Xu didn't quite agree with the female insect coming out with him, so as not to waste her rest time.

"But you're leaving soon." Fei looked at Jiang Xu with reluctance in her eyes.

"..." Looking at the pitiful little thing, Jiang Xu had no choice but to compromise: "Just this once."

"it is good."

When the two arrived at the aircraft's parking area, Wenxi was already there waiting with the insect cubs.

"Male father, female father, are you awake?" Jiang Yi's voice wasn't loud, at least not loud enough for the entire military camp to hear.

Ke Fei's face instantly turned bright red, leaving not a single crack.

"Who taught you to say that?" Fei's cheeks were burning. He quickly stepped forward and pinched the little bug's mouth, afraid that he would say something even more outrageous next.

"Ugh—ugh—" The little insect tilted its head back, breaking free from Fei's grasp, and said aggrievedly, "When I went to the tent to look for you and Father Xiong this afternoon, you were clearly sleeping."

Someone among the female soldiers present burst out laughing first, and then laughter echoed from one after another.

Fei then realized that the "sleeping" the insect cub was talking about really was just sleeping.

His face turned even redder.

Jiang Xu walked to his side and gently pinched his cheek: "You really have to go now. Go back and rest."

As he spoke, he picked up the baby insect from Wenxi's side and instructed, "Say goodbye to your female father and Uncle Wenxi."

"Goodbye, Father Female, Uncle Wenxi!" Jiang Yi nodded obediently and waved to the two female insects.

After doing all this, Jiang Xu turned and left. He left as quickly as he had come, without the slightest hesitation or lingering, decisive and efficient.

Jiang Xu stopped in a town behind the military camp. Seeing his resolute attitude, the female soldiers transporting supplies stopped talking.

After saying goodbye, Jiang Xu led the insect cub through the town's main street. Perhaps because it was too close to the battlefield, only a few shops were still open, while the rest were closed.

The aircraft slowed down to its lowest speed, and even with such a careful search, it took the two a long time to find an open hotel.

Jiang Xu stopped the aircraft and walked straight inside. The shop was as deserted as the street, and the air seemed to still be filled with the desolate smell of earth.

Jiang Xu couldn't help but wonder if he had gone to the wrong place—the shop door was wide open, but there wasn't a single insect in sight.

He turned and looked around, noticing a door leading to the backyard deep inside. He then shouted into the doorway, "Any bugs around? Looking for a place to stay."

A commotion soon came from the backyard, like a low stool being knocked over. A moment later, an insect darted out the back door: "Hello, are you looking for a room?"

After asking the question, the other party paused for a few seconds when they saw Jiang Xu's appearance clearly, then exclaimed joyfully, "Lord Jiang Xu!"

"Who are you?" Jiang Xu searched his memory, asking uncertainly, "Tong En?"

"Yes, it's me!" Tong En nodded repeatedly, her tone urgent and concerned. "Long time no see! How are you doing?"

Jiang Xu looked at Tong En, who had grown quite a bit, and then glanced towards the backyard: "Is this your family's inn?"

"Okay." Tong En quickly brought Jiang Xu a chair: "Please sit down."

After Jiang Xu sat down, he continued, "After we parted ways, the inn where my father and I stayed was quite nice."

Later, after discussing it with my uncle, the clan chief, we opened this small shop.

He glanced at the empty hotel and quickly explained, "Don't be fooled by how empty it looks now; it used to be full of bugs."

Recently, due to the war, all the insects in the surrounding area have moved away, and insects from other places dare not come to the border, which is why this place is so desolate.

Jiang Xu replied, "Where is your father-in-law?"

"My female father went back to the village, so I'm the only insect in the shop today," Tong En replied naturally, as if she was already used to this situation.

"I'll be staying here for a month or two, could you please arrange a room for me?" Jiang Xu said to Tong En.

"You can choose any of these shops, since you're the only customer here besides me." Tong En said, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, and this little bug too."

Ah, I almost forgot about the bug!

Tong En looked at Jiang Yi in surprise, staring at the face that bore a resemblance to Jiang Xu, and tentatively asked, "He is... Major General Fei's insect offspring?"

"Does it look like it?" Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"So alike! So alike! He's practically a carbon copy of Major General Fei!" Tong En nodded vigorously.

Jiang Xu suddenly laughed, reached out and pinched Tong En's cheek, teasingly saying, "Why are you being so easy to talk to this time?"

Didn't you used to find fault with everything I did?

Has she changed her personality?

Tong En froze for a moment, then quickly took a step back, covering her face with her hands, and stammered, "You...how could you touch me like that!"

Seeing that his face was flushed, Jiang Xu stopped teasing him, got up from the chair and walked upstairs: "I'm going to rest first. Call me when it's time for dinner."

And so, Jiang Xu settled down in the small town.

The bugle calls that echoed from the battlefield could be clearly heard in the town.

Whether as a male insect or as a former human, this was Jiang Xu's first time experiencing war firsthand.

It was so close that it seemed as if one could hear the fierce fighting on the front lines.

Jiang Xu had been staying at this inn for over ten days. He looked at the old tree not far away, where Jiang Yi and Tong En were squatting on the ground, picking up fallen leaves and piecing something together.

"Lord Jiang Xu, are you planning to stay here with Major General Fei like this?" Neil rushed back after learning that Jiang Xu was staying at this hotel.

Looking at Jiang Xu, who had been basking in the sun in the courtyard for over ten days, he couldn't help but wonder: Had all of the Jiang family's businesses been abandoned?

"Hmm." Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, looked at the tea on the table in front of him, picked it up and took a sip.

These leisurely yet boring days are really no different whether you're on Green Grass Street or here.

But staying here, at least, brings me closer to the female insect.

During the occasional truce, he could take his son over to check on things.
