As a female general, Mikel's words were far more reliable than those of Cheng Chu, a male insect, at least that's what A-Bing thought. A-Bing's eyes lit up, his hands unconsciously clenched, and his expression became even more excited as he said, "Really...is it?...General, you...also think..."

Abandoned at birth, Ah Bing struggled to survive in the slums. The kindest male insect he encountered was his mute brother, and the most hated female insect was that wicked, white-haired woman. The highest-ranking female insect he had ever met was Mikel. Therefore, he inexplicably felt a natural awe towards Mikel.

Since General Mikel said so, then the mute brother must still be alive.

Elijah, as Mikel's lieutenant, trusted him completely. Mikel said he would never go west if Mikel said he would go east, so Elijah didn't question Mikel's conclusion.

Cheng Chu, meanwhile, kept his head down, clutching the blanket covering the insect eggs and playing with them, no longer daring to participate in the topic.

"Yes." Mikel nodded again in confirmation.

Mikel didn't draw conclusions about this matter without reason; his speculation that the mute male insect mentioned by A Bing was still alive was based on evidence.

First, in that video, the mute male insect mysteriously disappeared in the explosion.

While the explosion was indeed severe, it paled in comparison to the most devastating explosion Mikel had ever witnessed. Given that the main ruins of the house and the remains of several female space pirates remained after the blast, even if the mute male insect had been killed, some fragments of his flesh should have remained; he wouldn't have been completely unharmed.

Furthermore, considering the series of reactions from his master and what the white-haired female insect said to A-Bing.

Mikel had every reason to suspect that the mysterious mute male insect was still alive.

Of course, Mikel didn't say any of this now. His blue eyes swept lightly over the little female insect, Ah Bing, who was immersed in joy, and then turned his gaze to the male insect beside him, who was hanging his head and busy with something. A faint smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

He leaned towards Cheng Chu, gently pulling the egg that the male insect was holding into his arms, and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "But we still don't know where he is right now."

Hearing Mikel say this, Ah Bing became even more convinced that his mute brother was still alive. Although he hadn't found his mute brother yet, he wouldn't give up as long as there was hope.

"...Thank you...thank you!" Ah Bing stood up from the sofa and bowed deeply to Cheng Chu, Mikel, and Elijah with excitement in his eyes.

Seeing Ah Bing so excited, Cheng Chu figured he must have a good relationship with his fellow villager whom he had never met. Cheng Chu wanted to say something but held back.

Finally, Ah Bing was led out by Elijah with a satisfied smile on his face, and Elijah personally escorted him back to his house in the slums.

Peaceful and beautiful times are always short-lived. Cheng Chu and Mikel's family of three enjoyed only five days of happiness before the situation in the capital changed drastically.

In today's rapidly developing technological world, news spreads at breakneck speed on the StarNet. The news of the Insect Emperor's sudden death and the succession of the Third Sovereign's son spread like wildfire across the StarNet within just two or three hours.

Overnight, the Insect Emperor died suddenly, and his chief steward, Aska, produced the Insect Emperor's last will and testament.

A mere fifteen-second video was enough to determine the new Insect Emperor.

In the ultra-high-definition video, the Insect Emperor, looking several years younger, lay on the bed, unable to move his head, only his two emerald green eyes able to move. After a deafening cough, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. The Insect Emperor's last words were: "Third...third...son, succeed to the throne."

Obviously, the three sons here refer to the three sons of the Three Sovereigns.

With this, the Insect Emperor passed away, and the three male emperors and Marshal Akokas succeeded him as the new Insect Emperor and Female Queen.

There were some challenges to this outcome from the insectoids, but all of them were swiftly and decisively suppressed by the new insectoid emperor's queen, Marshal Akkas, through force. This was further supported by the K2 Legion, the X5 Legion, and several other legions, making the situation a foregone conclusion.

The other royal princes naturally knew that there was no turning back now. Faced with absolute force, even royal male insects were useless, and the Male Insect Protection Committee couldn't intervene. They had no choice but to give up and fall back into the mire of pleasure and desire, returning to their life of decadent, dissolute aristocrats.

That evening, Mikel received an urgent recall order from Marshal Anaos.

"Master, we must go back as soon as possible." In the room, Mikel spoke rapidly as the male insect on the washbed was still telling stories to the insect eggs.

Mikel moved quickly, tidying up the essentials: nutrient solution for the insect eggs, incubation chambers, and supplies for the male insects.

Cheng Chu, still holding the insect egg, stared blankly at Mikel's sudden action. He asked, "Wife, is this so sudden?"

"Master, after you and Insect Egg return, don't go back to the Nine Stars Villa Complex. Go back to the villa where we got married. Don't go out. Just stay at home with Insect Egg, understand?" As they arrived at the door, Mikel still gave Insect Egg these instructions with concern.

The capital was in chaos. Although the Insect Emperor was dead, the situation of the three male insects was still unknown. Mikel was worried that he couldn't guarantee the safety of the male insects and their eggs, so he originally didn't plan to take them back with him this time. After all, although planet AF9 was remote, it was safe enough. However, Marshal Anaos said that he could take the male insects and their eggs back with him.

Mikel trusted that Marshal Anaos wouldn't act recklessly, and after much deliberation, decided to bring the male insect and its eggs with him.

However, Mikel did not intend to return to the villa with the male insect, but instead stayed at the Legion's residence recently.

"Ah..." Cheng Chu hugged the insect egg with a resentful look on her face, but her body was pressed tightly against Mikel's. She kept bringing her face close to Mikel's and rubbing against her pitifully, saying, "Wife, wife, are you really reluctant to go home? My baby and I will miss you so much..."

"Master, it won't be long. Be good, and I'll reward you when I get back, okay?" Mikel gently coaxed the male insect, cupping his cheeks. He not only promised the male insect a reward but also kissed him on the lips.

"I will definitely come to pick you and the baby up soon, my lord..."

Elijah and the others, standing beside the flying vehicle, witnessed once again their commander being entangled with Lord Chengchu. Elijah remarked that he was already used to it.

Mikel and Elijah both assumed their return would be fraught with trouble. Little did they know the dire straits the new Insect Emperor was currently facing in the palace, confronting his Marshal, the Female Queen Akkas…
