Chapter 41 Husband… “Do you know why all insects…”

"Do you know why all insects so highly regard S-class male insects? Even the highest leader can only be an S-class male insect?"

Nehemiah's words immediately piqued Meufel's interest; he had indeed been curious about this question for a long time.

He was supposed to attend class normally today, but unexpectedly, Nehemiah called him out alone after class.

Since being rated S-rank, he has had to attend two more classes every day in the classroom on the top floor of the main building of the Male Insect Academy. He had never been to the main building before, and he had heard that it was usually used to receive various large insects. Of course, F-rank male insects were not qualified to come here.

There was only one classroom on the top floor, which looked like a conference room. The male insects waiting for class inside sat upright and looked much more normal than the other male insects outside.

However, Möffield soon understood the reason for their serious expressions, because the last insect who entered through the door as a teacher was none other than President Nehemiah.

Murphy offered his guess, "Because of pheromones?"

Nehemiah nodded, then shook his head. "That's partly true, but not too much. Indeed, the higher the male's rank, the more effective its pheromones."

"Forcibly extracting pheromones from male insects can easily kill them, so female insects dare not make any rash moves against them. However, in the past, there have been instruments that could be developed to perform forced extraction."

"The real reason is this."

“Look.”

Mephiel followed Nehemiah's gaze and saw a book there, an open hardcover book. The contents were nothing special, just some basic explanations, so what he was looking at was definitely not the contents of the book, but something else entirely.

Suddenly, Moffer saw the hardcover book begin to turn its pages out of thin air, with nothing in sight touching it, and Nehemiah was not standing nearby either.

An ordinary male insect would probably be extremely surprised to see this, but Murphy immediately saw the reason.

Thin strands of spiritual energy extended from Nehemiah's body. They were neither thick nor solid, but they were definitely there. The tiny strands turned the pages of the book little by little.

This is clearly the same thing as his spiritual power, but he is not a native of this place. How can he have the power that only the natives of this place have? Is it just a coincidence that the power systems are the same?

Nehemiah mistakenly thought that Mephiel's surprise came from the book that had been opened out of thin air, and continued, "This is an ability that only S-class male insects possess. As long as I keep thinking about turning the pages of this book, it will move according to my will."

"This is what my teacher, the previous generation of S-class male insects, taught me. I tried to guide my students to try it, but they all failed without exception. I'm afraid only S-class male insects have this ability."

As he listened and observed, he noticed that Nehemiah seemed unable to see these mental threads, assuming they were a kind of ability that appeared out of thin air.

Nehemiah looked at Mephiel and said, "This power can not only affect physical objects, but it also works on insects. A powerful S-class male insect can even instantly link with all the insects."

Legend has it that long ago, a driven S-class male insect, cornered, took away hundreds of millions of female insects and many more males.

Murphy instantly understood what he meant; this was the fundamental reason why S-class male insects were always the highest-ranking leaders.

From the perspective of the female insects, the strangeness of the S-class male insects lies in their ability to use a power to control the bodies and even brains of other insects, making them virtually unavoidable in battle. Furthermore, the death of an S-class male insect will take away many male insects of lower rank than him, making him an unstable insect-shaped bomb.

Furthermore, the mental domain of S-class female insects is more prone to confusion, and they cannot do without the soothing of S-class male insects, thus creating the current bizarre situation.

Nehemiah said in a deep voice, "I will do my best to teach you this ability. I have been aware of your performance in class these days. Your comprehension is very strong. I am not exaggerating when I say that you are the best male insect I have ever seen, and you will be an excellent ruler in the future."

This evaluation is undoubtedly very high.

It seems that Nehmayan really has high hopes for him, but to be honest, the governance of a country is a good reflection of the leader's ability, and in his opinion, Nehmayan is not very qualified.

Currently, the relationship between males and females within the Federation is tense. Incidents of males abusing females to death occur frequently, and it is not uncommon for females to rise up in resistance and kidnap males. In general, the living environment of females is extremely harsh, and males act recklessly without any restraint. All of this is related to the tacit approval of the rulers.

When he was just an F-level male insect, Nehemiah only saw Bennett. To say that he didn't understand the fact that Bennett was inherently cruel would be hard for Morpheus to believe. He just didn't care, or thought it didn't matter.

Therefore, in essence, the Nehemiah was a ruler who believed in male supremacy and hierarchy, which is why the Federation was so clearly divided into classes.

Nehemiah was naturally unaware of what Mephiel was thinking. In his view, he was a male insect, so it was normal for him to lean towards male insects.

"There's another matter. The war between the Federation and the Empire has lasted for many years. Thanks to the efforts of many insects, peace talks have finally been reached. This is a hard-won step. I will personally lead the peace talks this time. You should come along too. Practical experience always teaches you more than theoretical knowledge."

The peace talks were to take place in a neutral star system. The native inhabitants of this system were not Zerg, but they were friendly to Zerg. The system was also located not too far from the Federation and the Empire, making it a relatively good location for peace talks.

Nehemiah had hesitated about whether to bring Mephiel along, since Mephiel's features were too obvious and would naturally arouse suspicion upon first sight.

But then he thought that as the successor of the Federation in this generation, Murphy would have to deal with the Empire sooner or later, and he could take this opportunity to observe Hawthorne's attitude toward Murphy. Perhaps by using Murphy, the peace talks would go more smoothly.

Murphy was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He really needs to find a chance to get out recently. Once he loses consciousness, his uncontrollability will become very high, and he himself is not sure what he might do. If he continues to stay here, there may be some bad consequences.

He would not allow any insects to harm Attia, including himself.

Peace talks are a good opportunity. Generally speaking, high-ranking male insects need to apply for permission to leave the central star. The male insect protection association will then coordinate with the major legions to ensure that the insects are protected at each level before they can travel.

Moreover, all the details of where to go, when to arrive, and all the route plans had to be submitted, which was too restrictive for Murphy. He could use the peace talks as an opportunity to go out and then easily find an excuse to slip away.

Murphy nodded and asked, "When?"

Nehmeya was somewhat surprised by his reaction. Moffer didn't ask why he was being taken on, nor did he humbly claim any lack of ability. Instead, he directly asked about the time, which showed that he was very clear about his current position.

Nehemiah admired him more and more. "The peace talks will officially begin in two weeks, and we will arrive in the neutral star system a week in advance."

"good."

...

When Murphy returned home, he hesitated about how to discuss the matter with Atiya, only to find that Atiya also seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Atia looked at the gentle-eyed, black-haired male insect in front of her, opened her mouth, and found no sound. After many attempts, the ethereal voice finally rang out.

"I will be stationed at the border for the next few months and may not be back for a long time."

"Several months?" Murphy's face showed obvious surprise. "How could it have taken so long?"

Murphy immediately replied, "I'll go with you."

Moffer instantly forgot to accept Nehemiah's invitation to peace talks.

"No." The refusal sounded particularly harsh.

After Atiyah finished speaking, he realized that it was somewhat inappropriate and added, "It's too dangerous."

Atiyah seemed determined not to take him along, but in Murphy's eyes, the real danger was that he wouldn't see his wife for months.

Murphy pitifully grasped Attia's hand, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Take me with you, you know it's not dangerous for me."

"..."

Atiyah knew he couldn't win an argument with him, but he really couldn't let Murphy go this time.

He lowered his eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "I'll worry, can we not go?"

"..."

"husband……"

Atia mimicked the word that Mophiel had accidentally uttered earlier. His pronunciation was a little awkward and hesitant, but it was accurate, and he knew it.

Because the next second, Murphy's ears turned bright red, and he stammered, "You...you...where did you learn that?"

Atia looked at Mophiel with stubborn eyes, grasped Mophiel's sleeve, and said again, "Can't we not go?"

Murphy blinked, then blinked again.

Wow, his wife has already learned to act cute and affectionate towards him without any instruction. It's so adorable.

Murphy was overjoyed and leaned down to kiss Atia's lips, grinding her thin lips until they turned crimson. He pried open her teeth and exchanged breaths, leaving his mark as if marking her, until Atia was almost out of breath before he let her go.

Meufel hugged Attiyah, patted his head, and laughed, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. President Nehemiah said that he will be holding peace talks with the Empire soon and hopes that I will go with him. We will be leaving in a week."

"I didn't know how to tell you, but I didn't expect you to be leaving just like that."

"I will definitely miss you. When I get back, I will ask His Excellency the President for permission to visit you."

“…Hmm.” Atia’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a fleeting smile, as if ice and snow were melting away in an instant, and all things were blossoming.

"I hope that day will come soon." But Atia's once clear eyes now seemed to hold an unfathomable melancholy.

He truly hoped that when he came back, he wouldn't see the hate in his eyes, though he knew it was wishful thinking.

Murphy has now become an S-class male insect, and will live a very good life from now on. But once he launches a rebellion, all of that will be lost. The status of male insects will definitely be impacted, their life trajectory will become unknown, and they may even be antagonized by other male insects because of him...

But he couldn't stop himself from seeking revenge.

He wouldn't stop himself from seeking revenge.

All the culprits should pay the price.

"What's wrong?"

Murphy keenly sensed Attia's emotions.

Murphy rubbed Attiya's eye socket with his thumb with some concern; he always felt that there was something in Attiya's eyes that he couldn't understand.

Atia was acting really strange today. She was clearly being affectionate with him and even smiled, but he felt as if there was a thin membrane between them. He couldn't see Atia behind the membrane; he could only feel a deep sadness that was so intense that his heart felt like it was being torn apart.

What exactly happened?

Atia shook her head without saying a word, but suddenly planted a kiss on Murphy's lips.

Taking advantage of Mophiel's slight surprise, Atia pushed him down onto the sofa and took the initiative to explore and rub his lips against Mophiel's. Then she began to undress Mophiel, but because she was not skilled, it just looked like she was rubbing against him in a coquettish way.

After his initial surprise, Murphy grabbed Atia's hand, which was haphazardly lighting the fire, and flipped over, almost instantly reversing the positions of the two insects.

Murphy's shirt was a little loose, with several buttons undone, but he didn't care. He just frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Why do I always feel like you're very sad?"

Has he done something recently that makes Attiya feel insecure?

Atia looked at him, her beautiful eyes reflecting only his image. Atia shook her head again, but instead put her arms around his waist and asked for a kiss.

The silver-haired beauty is usually aloof and reserved, easily embarrassed, and unlikely to do anything out of line, so her initiative today is rather strange.

But Murphy sensed it; Attiya desperately needed him, desperately needed to feel his presence…

Murphy pursed his lips, looked deeply at Atia, and finally sighed. He tightly locked Atia's waist with one hand, intertwined his fingers with Atia's with the other, and kissed her slightly swollen lips.

...

Tears streamed down her cheeks, her eyes already tinged with crimson. Even though she was trembling uncontrollably, she stubbornly kept her misty eyes open, as if trying to etch Morpheus's image into them.

When everything calmed down, Atia had fallen into a deep sleep, tears streaming down his face. Even in his sleep, his brows were slightly furrowed. Murphy wiped his body, then held him tightly in his arms and gently smoothed his brows.

He whispered a promise, "Don't be sad, everything will be alright, I promise."
