I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.

Fortunately, Cheng Chu remembered their purpose for tonight and did not make a sound.

He covered his mouth with his hand and stared wide-eyed at Mikel.

Mikel could easily see the shock in his large, dark eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "My lord, let's begin."

Time is running out; they really need to hurry.

Cheng Chu nodded quickly as he observed the legendary insectoid faith—the Holy Vine—before him.

It's impossible to tell how many years it's lived; the main vine is as thick as the trunk of a century-old tree. The vines intertwine, creating a complex and continuous network.

Vines of all sizes intertwined, their sparse leaves withered and gray, only the tiny leaves at the very tips of the vines showing a faint green hue.

This faint bluish tinge is proof that this thousand-year-old vine is still clinging to life.

Cheng Chu walked to the nearest vine and gently touched the yellow leaves. A wonderful, fresh scent of grass and trees suddenly wafted over him, like a surging wave crashing down on his head.

The feeling of fear was so real that Cheng Chu's expression changed and he took several steps back.

Seeing this, Mikel opened his hand and caught the male insect.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Chu stared blankly at the tall Saint Xing Teng, his face full of disbelief.

Even though it was perfectly quiet all around, he seemed to hear a mournful, ancient sound from the fresh scent of plants he had just smelled.

"Male master?" Seeing that the male insect did not respond for a long time and had such a terrified expression on his face, Mikel gently patted his face.

"I...I'm fine."

Cheng Chu quickly came to his senses after being slapped in the face.

As he spoke, he made up his mind and stepped forward to press down on the vines below.

Sure enough, that magical voice appeared again.

Painful and vicissitudes.

It sounded like a cry for help, yet also like a hopeless lament.

Cheng Chu couldn't understand it, but he was certain it wasn't a hallucination.

"My lord, here you go."

Mikel handed him a bottle of water from the side.

Cheng Chu took the water bottle but didn't immediately pour it down.

He lowered his voice: "Wife, you touch it too."

Mikel looked completely bewildered: "??"

I didn't understand, but I did it anyway.

Mikel placed his right hand on the vine that the male insect had just touched.

Seeing Mikel's completely unmoved expression, Cheng Chu asked him, "Did you hear anything?"

Mikel shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Mikel was really puzzled by the male insect's behavior and was worried.

"It's nothing." It wasn't a good time to explain, so Cheng Chu didn't say anything. He unscrewed the bottle and went straight to the roots of the Holy Vine, pouring all the water over them.

Cheng Chu held the empty bottle, squatted down, and placed his palm on the root of the Holy Seed Vine, remaining motionless for a long time.

Mikel carefully observed the Holy Vine from behind to see if there were any changes. He looked at the roots of the Holy Vine in front of the male insect, then looked up at the top of the Holy Vine, and glanced left and right.

Unfortunately, ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, a minute passed, and he still didn't notice any change in the plant in front of him.

I can't quite put my finger on whether I felt more disappointed or something else entirely.

Mikel glanced at the time on his personal terminal; the appointed time was fast approaching, and they had to leave.

"Master, we should go." Mikel walked over and gently patted the male insect's shoulder.

Cheng Chu didn't linger and got up to leave with Mikel.

With their departure, the Saint-Symploc venue returned to its original state.

The dampness at the roots of the *Sacred Heart Vine* will soon disappear, and the working insects won't notice it tomorrow. Perhaps it evaporated, or perhaps it was absorbed…

...............

The black-hatted female insect waited anxiously at the door, deeply regretting agreeing to Marshal Ralph's request.

He would not have agreed to this trip if Marshal Ralph hadn't done him a great favor and assured him that they were just going to visit Saint-Symphog and wouldn't do anything.

In short, he regretted it every single second since he agreed, but he didn't dare to go to Marshal Ralph and say he wanted to go back on his word.

Now, all we can hope is that they keep their word and don't cause him any trouble.

Otherwise, if anything happens to Saint Vine, not only will the Zerg not let him off the hook, but he himself will not forgive himself.

Just as the black-hatted female insect was about to rush in and drag the two unpunctual insects away, Cheng Chu and Mikel came out.

Having gained experience in coming in, it took even less time to come out.

Simins stood guard outside, and everything seemed fine; nothing unexpected had happened.

Following the order in which they entered, the man in the black hat easily scaled the high wall, Cheng Chu slowly climbed the ladder formed from his spiritual energy, and Mikel followed closely behind, nimbly vaulting over the wall.

This time, the black-hatted female insect witnessed Cheng Chu's unconventional method of scaling walls firsthand. Although it looked clumsy and wasn't fast, the fact that it was invisible technology piqued her curiosity.

It was late at night, and I didn't pay attention to Cheng Chu's appearance, nor did I realize that he was a male insect.

Thinking it was some novel high-tech gadget, he walked over and patted Cheng Chu on the shoulder without any politeness.

He was very outgoing and said familiarly, "Brother, this of yours... ouch..."

The cry of pain lasted only a second before he realized the timing and location were wrong and forced it back down.

Mikel gripped the hand that held the black hat draped over the male insect's shoulder tightly, his blue eyes darkening. His voice was heavy as he said, "Don't touch anything with your claws!"

"Are you crazy?!" The man in the black hat retorted, raising his other hand and clenching his fist as if to strike.

Simins quickly stepped forward and stood between the two female insects: "General, we should go back."

Cheng Chu also joined in the persuasion, pulling Mikel's arm: "Yes, Queen, let's go home."

Hearing the male insect say he wanted to go home, Mikel relaxed and released the black-hatted female insect's hand.

"He...he called you 'Female Queen'?" The man in the black hat finally realized what was happening. He rubbed his wrist, his expression one of utter shock. "He's a male!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know either. I thought he was a female insect, so I just put my arm around his shoulder..." The man in the black hat apologized repeatedly. He only knew that some female insects were very possessive, and he had witnessed it firsthand today.

Don't mess with them, don't mess with them, we can't afford to mess with them!

Jealous female insects are all love-struck, their brains are practically diseased.

In the end, the man in the black hat watched Cheng Chu, Mikel, and Simins walk away, but still couldn't find out what kind of high technology it was.
