Cheng Chu moved closer little by little, gently stroking Mikel's hand and actively admitting his mistake.

"Wife~~" The last syllable was drawn out, and the voice was very soft, sounding relaxed and lazy.

Mikel remained silent, his gaze slightly lowered as he looked at the two clasped hands on his knees. His silence and expressionless demeanor exuded the imposing presence of a general.

Cheng Chu wasn't afraid. He lowered his head, slid off the sofa, and squatted down at Mikel's feet. His voice was low and somber: "Wife, if you're angry, you can yell at me or hit me, but please don't ignore me."

The male insect looks quite pitiful.

The sky outside was gradually darkening, and the lights in the hall were bright, creating a tense atmosphere. Mikel stared at the male insect's head for a long time, the light falling on its dark hair and casting a soft glow.

After a long pause, Mikel spoke, seemingly resigned, "My lord, you said last time you wouldn't fight anymore. There are so many ways to resolve this, why go and fight him?"

"Who told him to insult you?" Cheng Chu blurted out, then muttered in a low voice with her head down, "He insulted you and almost hit you and the baby. You are my wife, and I have to protect you."

Blame Tegels for his foul mouth; Mikel is such a good person, yet he cursed Mikel as deserving of death—that's incredibly malicious.

Cheng Chu couldn't tolerate it at all.

Mikel was stunned for a moment, feeling as if a tiny electric current had flowed through his heart, and his heartbeat quietly quickened at that moment.

Protect?

Mikel hadn't heard anything like that in a long time.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the top of the male insect's head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and said in a slightly unsettled tone, "Master, I am a female soldier. Female soldiers are very powerful and do not need your protection."

The female is strong and doesn't need protection; it's the males that need more protection.

Cheng Chu looked up and stared directly into Mikel's eyes, shook her head, and said disapprovingly, "No, no matter if you're a female soldier or not, you're my queen, my wife, and I want to protect you."

"Besides, I'm a male insect. If I fight him, at most I'll lose some star coins. They won't do anything to me. I'll handle things that are inconvenient for you to do." Cheng Chu said, patting his straight chest.

Having been in the Zerg region for so long, Cheng Chu roughly knows that the female Zerg here face many restrictions in their actions, especially when facing high-level male Zerg, where they are not in control of their own destiny.

In that case, if Mikel can't do it, then he will.

"But you're injured, Master." Mikel carefully lifted the male insect's chin to check the injury, her eyes filled with heartache.

After today's fight, Cheng Chu was punched twice in the left cheek and corner of his mouth. Although he has received medication at the hospital, it still looks quite serious.

"Wife, wife, take a good look at my face." Cheng Chu kept his head up so Mikel could examine him more easily. He blinked and deliberately said, "Have I become ugly, wife? You can't dislike me. I'll be handsome again when I'm better."

Mikel chuckled at the male insect's words. He pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Master, please stop joking."

Mikel pushed the male insect's chin aside and pulled him up to sit on the sofa.

"My lord, does your wound hurt a lot?"

"It doesn't hurt much, not as much as when I had a toothache before." Cheng Chu took advantage of the situation, not only shuffling closer but also putting his arm around Mikel's shoulder and hugging him.

He rested his chin on Mikel's shoulder and complained, "Ouch, I'm tired from squatting."

Mikel leaned against the male insect's chest and suddenly said in a serious tone, "Master, please don't fight with other male insects because of me anymore."

Cheng Chu subconsciously said, "But they did it first—"

"No buts, Master." Mikel interrupted the male insect before he could finish speaking. He straightened his back, turned to look at the male insect seriously, and said, "I don't want to see you get hurt. In the future, we can use other methods in this situation. But, under no circumstances do I want you to get hurt again."

After saying that, he softened his voice and said, "I know that you didn't let me go up there so that I could distance myself from it, right?"

If all the insects fighting are males, then no matter how they fight, the male insect protection association will handle the matter leniently afterwards.

As long as the female insect doesn't participate, everything will be fine. Otherwise, regardless of the cause, process, or result, the greatest responsibility will fall on the female insect.

Cheng Chu nodded, gave a muffled "hmm," and hugged Mikel from behind again, inhaling his scent.

He twirled a strand of his long golden hair with his finger and added to Mikel, "I didn't use any mental power either."

Male insects fighting is just fighting, but when one or both of them unleash their spiritual power, it's no longer an ordinary fight. The punishment will have to be escalated.

The use of mental power, originally Tegels's fault, will now place the primary responsibility on Cheng Chu.

Cheng Chu knew this, which is why he didn't use his mental power. Otherwise, Tegels wouldn't have been able to touch a hair on his head.

"Hmm, the male is really smart." Mikel praised the male insect without reservation.

"I threw even more punches than him," Cheng Chu said, his eyes crinkling as he continued to boast.

Mikel didn't think this was something to be praised, and said in a somewhat stern voice, "My lord, this is not something that can be compared."

Mikel didn't care what was happening on the other side, nor did he want to. However, the male insect's wounds were an eyesore to him.

Cheng Chuyi immediately stopped laughing and slowly uttered an "Oh." Her hand fell down, stroking Mikel's slightly protruding belly.

The S-class male insect silently released its spiritual power, slowly enveloping Mikel, seemingly with a hint of flattery.

Mental energy enveloped Mikel, skillfully soothing his mental sea. Mikel completely relaxed, leaning against the male insect. His nose was filled with the male insect's scent, mixed with the smell of medicine.

Before going to sleep, Cheng Chu, who had already washed up, was lying at the foot of the bed, holding a light screen and studying something.

Mikel came in after finishing his work. He had just taken a shower and was still noticeably damp. His long, blond hair cascaded down, softening his otherwise hard jawline.

He held the medicine in his hand and said, "My lord, please sit down, I will apply the medicine for you."

"Okay." Cheng Chu didn't even look up, just responded without making a move.

Mikel walked to the bedside and called out again, "My Lord?"

"Okay, right away."

Despite saying he would do it right away, Cheng Chu didn't move; his eyes were already glued to the screen.

Mikel suddenly raised his voice: "My lord, come here quickly."

"Alright, alright, I'm coming."

This time, Cheng Chu finally moved. He took the light screen, crawled to the bedside, and tilted his head back so Mikel could apply the medicine.

Mikel leaned closer, gently pinching the male insect's chin as he carefully applied the medicine. He asked, "Master, what are you looking at? Is it that interesting?"

"I...I saw it on StarNet...there are already videos, I'm reading the comments." Cheng Chu mumbled as she applied medicine to the corner of her mouth.
