After hearing his words, the members of the Xiongbao Association did not stop their idea of ​​arranging a marriage for the Crown Prince.

Compared to the Crown Prince, the S-rank male insect was more important, but seeing that the Insect King was still unwilling to give in, they had no choice but to persuade him again.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. No one knows whether Lord Male Insect is alive or dead. Everything we do is just to confirm whether he is still alive. If he still doesn't appear after you grant the marriage, then that would be exactly what you want."

However, Yu Shengxiao did not compromise. Instead, he retorted, "If he is still alive, should I sacrifice Si Ze? I will not agree to this, and you guys should stop talking about it."

After Yu Shengxiao said this, he stood up from his chair resolutely, straightened his gorgeous clothes, and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, just as he took two steps, he suddenly heard what the Xiongbao Association said next, which made his whole body become extremely stiff in an instant.

"Your Majesty, please do not forget what happened twenty years ago. Once it is made public, I'm afraid this is definitely not what you want to see." A member of the Xiongbao Association said in a firm and serious tone.

Yu Shengxiao turned around, looked at them in disbelief, and asked angrily, "Are you threatening me?!"

However, the members of the Male Insect Protection Association looked at him expressionlessly and continued, "Your Majesty, we don't want to see this outcome either. Although you are also an S-rank male insect, you are already old."

Yu Shengxiao felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to their words. He was furious that these people had dared to use such despicable means to force him to change his mind.

However, faced with such pressure, he didn't know what to choose.

After all, the death of that A-rank male insect twenty years ago was a fact, but it was also that male insect's death that deserved it. He shouldn't have taken advantage of him being seriously injured and unconscious to harm his pregnant female monarch.

Although he finally threatened the Male Protection Association with his S-class male insect identity, they released him as a female monarch. But the prerequisite was that he could give birth to an S-class male insect.

But not only did he not have any, but both of his children were female. So in recent years, the people in the Male Protection Association have become more and more presumptuous.

What's more, Yu Shengxiao knew that if another S-level male insect appeared, it would be useless for him to threaten them with his identity. Instead, it was he, the Insect King, who was threatened.

Yu Shengxiao was in great pain at this moment. He really didn't want to give up on anyone. However, the current situation left him helpless and he couldn't think of a solution to the problem.

Yu Shengxiao stared grimly at the group of people below who kept forcing him to make a choice. After a long while, he slowly said, "You guys go down first. I need to think about this matter again."

Hearing this, the people from the Xiong Bao Association looked at each other, then nodded and said, "In this case, I hope Your Majesty can give us a clear answer as soon as possible."

After saying that, they turned and left, leaving Yu Shengxiao sitting alone in his seat with a gloomy look on his face.

As the night gradually darkened, Si Ze slowly arrived at the palace. He walked with heavy steps, his heart filled with doubts and uneasiness. He was confused by his father's sudden call back.

When Si Ze pushed open the door, he saw Xiong's father sitting on the sofa, his hands tightly covering his forehead, his body trembling slightly, looking very sad.

Si Ze's heart suddenly tightened. He walked quickly towards Xiong's father and asked with concern: "Xiong's father, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor right away!"

Yu Shengxiao raised his head, and his eyes met Si Ze's. His eyes revealed deep pain and entanglement, as if he had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to start.

Yu Shengxiao took a deep breath and finally said, "Si Ze, I really don't know what to do. I thought I could protect you."

“It was like this 20 years ago, and it’s still like this now.”

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with bottomless sorrow. As Yu Shengxiao spoke, Si Ze finally understood what had happened.

At this moment, his whole body seemed to be hit by a cold stone, stiff and unable to move. He never expected that the Xiongbao Association would actually ask him to marry.

He looked at the sad face of his father and shook his head gently: "Father Xiong, I don't blame you, please don't cry first."

Si Ze pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe there is another way. Maybe he is already dead, and I don't have to marry him at all."

"But...but you didn't find his body. What would you do if...if he's still alive?"

Just as the two were immersed in this deeply depressing atmosphere, the door was suddenly pushed open with a crisp sound.

"I'm going to turn myself in. This matter has nothing to do with Sze." Slitta walked in from the door with tears in her eyes.

"No! You're going to die! They won't let you go."

"Why not? It was because of me that your father was held captive by them. I killed him, so I have to bear the consequences myself."

"No! I won't let you go. At worst, our family will leave the empire, and I won't be the Insect King anymore."

However, they knew very well that the scenario described by Yu Shengxiao was nothing but a distant fantasy.

They have long been tightly bound by the vortex of power and cannot escape. Even if they can break free from it all, they will not find a home in this vast interstellar space and may even face the fate of being hunted down.

However, at this desperate moment, Si Ze suddenly thought of something, and he quickly took out his light computer with trembling hands.

"Male father, female father, don't worry for now. I know who to ask. He must know whether the male insect is alive or dead. We will find a solution when the time comes."
