The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

"Major General, are you alright? You haven't been to the military headquarters for the past few days."

"Was it Lord Cen Li who punished you? Your injuries are so severe, preventing you from coming to the military headquarters for so many days?"

"How could a male insect treat you like this!"

"It seems that Major General Xiong Zhu, though outwardly respectable, is just like any other male insect in private—brutal, sadistic, and doesn't treat females like insects at all!"

"As expected, all male insects are the same!"

Ashel's subordinates spoke out in his defense.

The female insects' words were becoming increasingly extreme, and Ashel frowned and interrupted, "Watch your tone, don't talk about the male insects."

"Also, who spread these messages? I only took leave because I needed to take care of the master."

How can such outrageous remarks be made after only a few days away from the military headquarters?

Some insects raised questions.

"The male insect is already this big, does it still need care?"

Is the major general lying to them?

Don't want them to worry?

In fact, Ashel was telling the truth.

After Cen Li recovered, General Derek granted him leave to take good care of Xiong Zhu at home, presumably out of concern that Xiong Zhu's illness might relapse.

"Alright, stop talking about male insects, or you might get taken away by the Male Insect Protection Association."

"Those are a bunch of male-dominated creatures!"

One insect tried to smooth things over.

The female insects clearly did not believe Ashir's words.

In their eyes, the major general's superior had a long history of misdeeds.

Ashel's explanation was pale and powerless.

When Cen Li was mentioned, Ash turned around, subconsciously searching for the figure of the powerful ruler.

His gaze paused when he caught sight of a familiar figure from behind.

His male lord was having a pleasant conversation with a female insect.

Cen Li walked to the side, just about to sit down and rest.

A female insect called out to him.

"Your Excellency Cen Li."

Cen Li turned around and sized up the unfamiliar insect.

The female insect smiled with perfect curves, elegant and poised: "It is an honor to meet you, sir. I am Quinn, a female insect of the Voss family."

He looked at Cen Li with intense gaze.

Cen Li's voice was indifferent.

"What's up?"

Quinn's enthusiasm did not diminish despite Cen Li's apparent indifference; he bowed and gave Cen Li a very solemn aristocratic salute.

Cen Li stared at him.

Quinn bent down to touch Cen Li's hand, which was hanging at his side, in preparation for giving him a kiss on the hand.

After realizing his intention, Cen Li frowned and put his hands behind his back.

This is a gesture of refusal.

Quinn straightened up, a look of regret on his face.

He put on a pitiful look: "I only admire your heroic bearing, won't you even give me a chance to show you my goodwill?"

Cen Li twitched his lips.

"Not interested."

Why hadn't he heard before that this insect liked him? He had only just recovered his appearance and legs and was being pursued in public. Cen Li found it hard to believe that there was any sincerity in this.

Perhaps it's more of a facade of self-interest and superficiality.

Quinn was taken aback, then said, "You are truly heartless!"

"I will show you my true feelings and determination; I admire and love you so much."

The lament of the female insect made Cen Li's temple throb.

He warned, "Don't waste your time on me."

Quinn simply smiled.

Cen Li felt that he hadn't listened to her.

He was a little annoyed.

The male insect talked to the female insect for a long time.

The female insect was facing Ashir, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Cen Li.

He is good-looking and non-threatening.

It is the gentle and docile appearance that male insects currently prefer.

With his back turned, Ashel couldn't see the expression on Cen Li's face.

They had a very pleasant conversation.

Ash thought the lord's expression was probably better than when he was facing him.

Ashel twitched his lips; after all, he was the female insect that the male lord hated the most.

He automatically ignored the memory of the male master holding him that night, convincing himself otherwise.

That was just an accident.

A powerful ruler wouldn't treat you like that.

You're just delusional.

He knew Quinn, but wasn't familiar with him.

She was a noble female insect, a perfect match for the male, and indeed a good choice for him.

Such an outstanding female insect might one day become the queen of the male...

As it turns out, the current male is highly sought after, coveted by many females.

Ash gave a wry smile and was about to leave when he was stopped by a female insect.

She is a female soldier in the Third Army Corps.

"Wait, Major General Ashel, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

While the female insect verbally asked for advice, she showed no respect whatsoever, acting as if it were perfectly natural.

"What are your hobbies, Lord Cen Li?"

"What do you like to eat? What don't you like to eat? What's your favorite color? Is there anything you can't stand?"

"..."

Irving fired off several questions.

This is clearly an attempt to woo a powerful ruler!

Ashel didn't speak for a moment.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to tell Owen these things, but rather that he didn't know much about Cen Li either.

He was unqualified as a female servant.

What do powerful rulers like?

Ashel thought about it seriously.

Whip him?

Ashel felt a little uncertain about his nascent idea.

The lord has lost interest in this matter and hasn't even disciplined him in a long time...

Ash remained silent for a long time, and Owen's expression gradually became impatient, thinking that Ash was trying to keep something to himself.

"Is the major general unwilling to share with us?"
