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

Where is Asher now?

The sudden sound startled the few insects who were already feeling guilty.

A female insect looked behind her and saw the male insect they had just been discussing.

"Your Excellency Cen, Cen Li."

Several female insects were trembling. How did Cen Li end up here?

This is the kitchen! How could a male insect have set foot here?

"Who gave Ashley the alcohol?"

"This, this..."

The female insect at the front forced a smile and tried to evade the question: "No insects were trying to force the Major General to drink; you must have misheard."

Cen Li glanced at him coldly: "I'm not that hard of hearing. You'd better think twice before telling the truth, or I won't let any of you off the hook today!"

The insects exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear.

The Duke's intention in hosting the banquet was quite clear: the heir apparent was most likely Lord Cen Li.

They dared not go against the future ruler of the Duke's mansion.

The female insect closed her eyes, no longer daring to deceive the male: "It is Lord Mihawu."

It's that insect again. Cen Li's eyes darkened, and he asked again, "Where's Ashir now?"

The female insect said cautiously, "We really don't know. His Excellency Mihalyu only instructed us to find the Major General at all costs."

Unable to get anything out of the insect, Cen Li turned and left.

It seems that not seeing Ash in the banquet hall earlier must be related to Mihalyu.

Following the system's guidance, Cen Li went upstairs and saw a familiar figure.

Miha was pushing open door after door, peeking out as if searching for something.

Cen Li's intuition told him that the other party was looking for Asher.

He felt a little relieved; at least Ash was safe now.

"What are you doing sneaking around here?"

When Miha turned around and saw that it was Cen Li, he reflexively closed the door that had just been opened a crack.

He looked at the intruder warily: "I've had too much to drink and I'm a little dizzy. I'd like to find a room to rest."

Cen Li scoffed, his gaze lingering on Miha Wu for a moment before finally settling on the door behind him: "Why aren't you in your room resting? What are you doing pushing my door?"

Mihalyu lowered his hand from the doorknob, a forced smile on his face: "I was just dizzy, I went to the wrong place, didn't I?"

Damn it, how did Cen Li suddenly appear here?!

Cen Li chuckled: "Then you'd better open your eyes wider next time. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to steal something from my room!"

"Brother, you're joking. Why would I steal your things?"

Mihav smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was gritting his teeth.

His father is a duke, how could he possibly steal? Cen Li's words are an insult to him!

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from inside the room, the sound of something falling over.

Mihajlov turned his head and glanced at the tightly closed door, his face darkening.

The other party was hiding here.

He almost...

Upon hearing this, Cen Li's eyes flickered slightly.

"Looks like some bugs really did sneak into my brother's room to steal things."

As Miha said this, his hand fell on the doorknob again, as if to push the door open: "I want to see who this little thief is? How dare he steal things from the Duke's mansion without fear of death..."

With a "click," the door was pushed open a corner.

Most of the scene inside the room was revealed in an instant.

Cen Li grabbed Miha's wrist, stopping him from continuing, and peeled off his fingers one by one: "You don't need to bother with that."

"It's my little pet, it's been misbehaving again."

"..."

Miha was pushed aside and watched helplessly as Cen Li opened the door and went inside.

Just as he was about to peer through the door, it slammed shut with a bang, nearly hitting Mikhail on the nose.

Mihav stared gloomily at the closed door.

Separated by a wall.

"A powerful, a mighty ruler..."

Ashel shuddered at the noise outside the door and frantically tried to find a place to hide.

However, before he could push open the bathroom door, the bedroom door was opened.

He could tell at a glance that it was a powerful ruler.

The clothes she was holding fell to the ground with a thud.

Ash looked at Cen Li, who was walking towards him, with a panicked and helpless expression.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I..."

Ash's eyes were misty, a result of his symptoms gradually worsening.

He looked at Cen Li, who was walking towards him expressionlessly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his clear amber eyes.

There were far too many reasons why the powerful ruler should punish him.

He shouldn't have sneaked into the master's room, and he shouldn't have stolen the master's clothes...

He shouldn't let the male ruler see him in this lustful state.

Ash's toes almost curled up.

A few minutes ago, Ash, who was leaning against the door, heard some sounds intermittently.

There was a loud voice, and he immediately recognized it as Mihalyu's voice.

Ash's first thought was that the other party had found him so quickly. Although he had locked the door, it probably wouldn't be difficult for Miha to get the key to the room.

Sure enough, the door was opened.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened outside, he was relieved that the insect that came in wasn't Miha Wu, but Cen Li.

At least a powerful ruler wouldn't resort to such despicable means.

Ash vaguely remembered the voices outside the door and hurriedly explained, "My lord, I'm not a thief. I didn't steal anything from you."

As soon as Cen Li entered, he saw the flustered female insect looking at him with great fear, but she quickly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The moment he walked in, he clearly saw Ashel sniffing his clothes.

Cen Li walked up to the female insect, frowning as he looked at Ash'er's flushed face: "Not a thief? Didn't you steal my clothes?"

Ash's muddled mind jolted; wasn't he contradicting himself?

"Yes, I'm sorry, my lord, I only took this because I was in so much pain... I didn't touch anything else."

Ash's consciousness was in disarray, but he instinctively did not want to anger the lord. He accidentally spoke too much, his words were incoherent, and his language logic was chaotic.

A cold hand touched Ashel's burning forehead.

"Please don't... I..."

Ash felt a tingling sensation run down his spine. He turned his head to avoid it, and his legs went weak, his knees bending involuntarily.

He braced himself against the wall, barely maintaining his balance.

Just a second ago, the pheromones remaining on the male master's fingertips quickly seeped into his pores.

Asher shuddered.

He suppressed the rising desire within him, fearing that he might do something inappropriate.

Ash's body temperature was abnormally high, and his condition was more serious than last time.

"You've been drugged?"

Ashel bit her lip and nodded. Her usual expressionless face was gone, replaced by a blush of delicate red on her cheeks.

Cen Li knew at a glance that this was not a normal state of intoxication.

Cen Li frowned: "You dared to drink the wine he offered?"

Both insects knew in their hearts who this "he" was.

The male insect's displeased questioning caused Ashel, who was already in a special period, to feel a rare sense of grievance: "I didn't want to either, but he's a male insect."

In the Zerg race, male Zerglings can act with impunity, while female Zerglings can only be oppressed.

Only when subjected to severe oppression will the female insect mount a tiny, negligible act of resistance.

Yes, if a precious male insect really makes a request, no matter how difficult it is, the female insect has no choice but to agree.

Not to mention that in the eyes of the insects, Ashir was merely a female servant disliked by her male master.

It's as if any insect can step on him.

This realization made Cen Li inexplicably depressed: "I am your master, you only need to listen to me."

He could only say this one sentence, otherwise he would be "reminded" by the system if he said anything more.

Ash's light-colored eyes became misty with heat.

He retorted in a low voice.

"It's no use being obedient."
