The next day, while Cheng Chu was still asleep, Mikel went out.

He went to the military headquarters and found a suitable time to report to Marshal Anaos in person what had happened the previous night and the final decision.

Mikel said, "Marshal, my lord has decided to give it a try, and I agree."

Marshal Anas expressed his satisfaction: "Mikel, you should have done this sooner. Lord Chengchu isn't some little bug; he knows what he's doing."

He picked up the cup beside him, took a sip, and said earnestly, "You're meddling too much. The male insects won't like that. Besides, he's an S-class male insect, nothing will happen to him. You're just worrying too much."

Instead of worrying about a top-tier male insect getting hurt, you should be more concerned about yourself and the eggs inside your belly.

In Zerg society, female Zerg are the most disadvantaged.

What Marshal Anaos didn't say was that whenever it came to matters related to Lord Cheng Chu, Mikel's composure and calmness on the battlefield completely disappeared.

He became timid and hesitant, completely unlike himself.

Mikel lowered his head and said calmly, "Yes, Marshal."

"Hmm." Marshal Anaos didn't want to lecture him further. He instructed, "Mikel, go home early today. You don't need to come in this afternoon."

Knowing that Mikel would be accompanying the male ruler to the palace to meet the insect emperor in the afternoon, and that preparations would definitely need to be made in advance, Mikel was given the afternoon off.

"Yes, sir." Mikel stood at attention and said respectfully, "Thank you, Marshal."

After leaving Marshal Anaos's office, Mikel summoned Elijah.

Elijah was momentarily stunned when his general informed him that he would not be there that afternoon.

Mikel didn't notice his expression. While rummaging through the drawer for the necessary documents, he explained some work-related matters for the afternoon and things to pay attention to. Finally, he handed him several documents that he would need for the afternoon.

Elijah took it with both hands, and asked with a blank look, "Huh? General, will you be coming tomorrow?"

I don't understand why Elijah would ask this question. He only told him that he wouldn't be there in the afternoon and didn't mention anything about tomorrow.

Mikel looked at Elijah suspiciously, then simply said two words: "Of course."

Elijah visibly relaxed upon hearing Mikel's affirmative answer.

"That's good, that's good..."

"What?" Mikel's voice was devoid of emotion.

Elijah quickly recovered and smiled at Mikel: "It's nothing, General, I'll get back to work."

Elijah was terrified; he thought the general was going to take another long leave because of those comments on StarNet.

At lunchtime, Mikel would pilot his aircraft away from the military headquarters and head towards home.

Standing in front of a mirror, Cheng Chu looked at the man dressed up so formally by Mikel. The more she looked, the more unreal it seemed, and the less he looked like herself.

He wore a moon-white tuxedo, the meticulous tailoring of which accentuated his slender physique. A long, matching sash from his left shoulder reached down to his knees, exuding an air of nobility.

"Honey, do I look weird in this?" This was the first time Cheng Chu had ever dressed so extravagantly in his life, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

While adjusting the male insect's collar, he glanced at the male insect in the mirror upon hearing the question, but didn't see anything wrong with it. He replied, "No, the male's skin is fair, and this color suit looks especially good on him."

"Really?" Cheng Chu lowered her head, spread her hands to look at herself, and then looked at herself and Mikel in the mirror.

He even had almost the same skin color as Mikel.

Suddenly, he realized that he really did seem to have turned pale. He didn't know if it was due to the climate and soil of the insectoid region, or the diet, but Cheng Chu noticed that all the insects he had ever seen seemed to be quite pale.

He came here and stayed home every day without going out. His skin, which was tanned from delivering takeout under the scorching sun during the holidays, has become so fair.

"Wife, you Zerg..." Cheng Chu realized her mistake as soon as she said it and swallowed the rest of her words.

Mikel, who had been paying attention to the male insect's speech, paused in his hand as he was adjusting the male insect's clothes. He was sure he hadn't misheard.

The male insect said, "You insect race."

"Haha..." Cheng Chu chuckled, then changed her words: "I mean, do all you female insects prefer males with fair skin?"

The male insect deliberately remained silent, and Mikel did not press him for details, continuing with his work.

Watching the male insect twist and turn as he looked at himself in the mirror, Mikel patted a barely noticeable crease on his lower back, smoothing the fabric. He whispered, "I don't know, but I know I only like the male lord."

"Hehehe..." Cheng Chu smiled happily, pursing his lips. He turned around and hugged Mikel tightly, saying shyly, "Me too, I only like you, my only female insect."

Mikel looked through the male insect's shoulder at the two insects embracing in the mirror, selfishly wishing that time could stand still for a moment longer, or that time could slow down a little.

The two of them hugged briefly in front of the mirror before continuing to tidy up.

Mikel changed into a brand-new general's uniform, looking both dashing and dignified.

No matter how he looked at it, Cheng Chu still couldn't understand. He picked up the strip of cloth hanging down his shoulder and tugged at it.

Turning his head to look at Mikel, who had changed her clothes and came out, he asked curiously, "Honey, what's this for? It doesn't seem very convenient."

Mikel patiently explained this common knowledge to him: "This is useless, it's just for decoration. That's what male insects wear."

"Oh." Cheng Chu's hands were restless. He wrapped the strip of cloth around his neck. "But this doesn't feel right. What if I get into a fight with another insect and it uses this strip of cloth to choke me?"

After Mikel understood the male insect's question: "..."

Mikel realized he really couldn't keep up with the younger male's train of thought, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Master, who do you want to fight this time?"

Cheng Chu only thought of this suddenly; he had no intention of fighting, and besides...

"I don't fight often, so why are you using 'again'?" Cheng Chu felt wronged.

He has always been law-abiding since he was a child. If those insects hadn't provoked him first, he wouldn't have acted so rashly.

"Yes, yes, yes~" Mikel pulled the strip of cloth from the male insect's hand and smoothed it down with his hand. His tone was undisguisedly indulgent: "I misspoke. The male doesn't fight. They were in the wrong first, which is why the male attacked."

Cheng Chu was satisfied and hummed, "That's how it is."

"Everything is ready," Mikel said. "Alright, my lord, we should set off now."
