Chapter 106 The Twin Insect Kings Haven’t Made Trouble for a Long Time

Thinking of the Insect King, Bai suddenly realized that the Insect King Hoover Walker had not caused trouble for a long time.

Ever since the palace banquet, Hoover Walker, who used to like to make trouble for him, has not done so secretly, which has allowed him to focus more on other things.

However, it was not in Hoover Walker's nature not to cause trouble for him, especially since his lord was the only SSS-level male insect in the empire.

According to the character of the Insect King, it is impossible for him not to contact Nan Qi, but I don’t know whether it is because Nan Qi doesn’t like to go out, or the Insect King has not figured out how to contact Nan Qi so that he can use Nan Qi for his own benefit, the Insect King did not take any action at all.

He even stopped using public opinion to guide the trend. Bai was a little uncomfortable with this and felt that he was planning something big.

Carter was kidnapped, and what the military woman Pate found in that mysterious research institute also confirmed that there was a force that wanted to harm Nan Qi, and this force was likely related to the royal family.

Thinking of this, Bai asked Pu Bo: "What has the Insect King been up to lately?"

Pu Bo swallowed the bean paste bun in his mouth and said, "Very quiet, not much movement, but I heard that old fellow Ockham Leslie sent one of his sons to the bed of the Insect King."

"Old Occam has been walking with such a swagger lately. I guess the Insect King is so pleased with this beautiful female Insect that he's pampering her to the hilt and has no time for you."

Bai frowned slightly. "Hoover Walker isn't the kind of tyrant who'd be blinded by beauty. His lack of action is actually his biggest move. We need to keep a close eye on him."

"I know, I just can't stand Ockham." Pu Bo knew this very well. What he said just now was just to mock Ockham Leslie for selling his son for fame.

The Minister of Industry, with no ability or talent, can only rely on offering his son to the Insect King with a special fetish to keep his position from being taken away by the head of the Lelis branch family - Opoka Lelis, the younger brother of Ockham Lelis.

However, the presence of this incompetent minister saved them a lot of effort. They still preferred a idiot like Ockham to a shrewd Minister of Industry.

After all, with Occam, a selfish idiot, around, it would be easier for them to get some energy.

The Empire's Ministry of Industry covered a wide range of sectors, primarily divided into heavy and light industries. From small-scale industries like textiles, papermaking, and metallurgy, to medium-sized industries like food, mining, and processing, to large-scale industries like electricity, crystal energy, and machinery and weaponry, all were under the Ministry's control.

The military’s energy is part of military supplies and is generally not directly transferred from the Ministry of Industry.

However, because the Insect King did not have enough control over the military, he was afraid that the main generals of the military would defect to other male insects with inheritance rights, so he was used to blocking the military's energy. In recent years, in addition to trading energy on the black market, they also "stole" energy from the Ministry of Industry.

Occam has poor management skills and his own family is not clean. The Ministry of Industry looks prosperous, but it is actually a mess inside. In a way, this is convenient for them.

Strictly speaking, the first "funds" for their business in the black market were "sponsored" by the Ministry of Industry.

Pu Bo had complained before about how such an important department would have a idiot like Occam as the minister. The Insect Emperor was not afraid that the chaos in the Ministry of Industry would directly affect the national foundation.

In fact, Bai couldn't understand at first why the Insect King didn't replace Occam. He didn't believe that Occam sold his son for fame and fortune and that's why he was not replaced by the Insect King. Not to mention that the Insect King didn't value beauty, even if he did, it wouldn't be to the extent of giving up his kingdom for a beautiful insect.

It was not until later that Bai began to understand that the Insect Emperor had placed Occam in that position to set a trap for his teacher and also for himself.

There is a shortage of energy. As the teacher of the military marshal and general, I must find a way to fill the energy gap in the military.

The Empire's energy and mining industries are strictly managed. Even the daily collection quantities from private mines must be registered and wait for the Empire to reclaim them.

Purchasing crystals from private mines is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to obtain in large quantities. Therefore, there are only two ways to fill the energy gap.

1. Go to the Insect King and cry to him, and ask him for it.

2. Find ways to steal energy from energy-rich sectors.

The only department in the empire that can mobilize large amounts of energy is the Ministry of Industry, apart from the Energy Institute, which is independent of the major departments.

Compared to the more strictly guarded Energy Institute, an Industry Ministry with a idiot minister is easier to target. The Insect King can judge the energy needs of his teachers and himself based on the number of energy crystals that have disappeared from the Industry Ministry.

Used to determine whether they have secretly stored a large amount of energy crystals for other purposes and intend to rebel.

It is precisely because of this that Bai thought of earning energy through the black market to support military expenses.

In recent years, Bai has been keeping a low profile and has not invested a large amount of energy in the military even though there is sufficient energy.

Therefore, although the Insect King was wary of him and his teacher over the years and had tried to harm them, he ultimately did not kill them all.

They saved up some energy just like ants moving house. It was not until Nan Qi showed up that they became rich overnight and had the confidence to fight against the Insect King.

Seeing Bai's frown, Pu Bo patted his shoulder comfortingly: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry too much. Nan Qi is so capable that it's not easy to plot against him. Instead of worrying about Nan Qi, you should worry about yourself first."

"What?" Bai was puzzled. "Why are you worried about me?"

Pu Bo sighed and said earnestly, "Bai, you better be more careful. You know the Insect King will definitely keep chasing Nan Qi. Besides trying to improve Nan Qi's favorability that day, the most likely thing he did was to sow discord between you two."

"Ordinary provocation is not enough, but if you cheat or have an affair with another male insect, the final result will be that Nan Qi will have to divorce you without the Insect Emperor's order."

"I won't allow that to happen, and if it really happens, Nan Qi will only believe me." Bai said calmly.

"My goodness, of course I know Nan Qi won't doubt you." Pu Bo rolled his eyes and continued, "I mean they will take action against you."

"You know the medicine for dealing with female insects without me telling you. You've experienced its power. They've failed before, so their next move will surely be more meticulous. It won't be so easy for you to escape."

"I will take care of my own safety." Bai was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you."

"Why are you saying thank you to me?" Pu Bo said, "I just want to remind you not to focus all your attention on Nan Qi. The Insect Emperor may only want to win over Nan Qi, but he won't be as kind to you as he is to Nan Qi."

"That's right, Pu Bo is right." Nan Qi's voice suddenly sounded. Bai looked in the direction of the voice and happened to meet Nan Qi's eyes as he came out of the cave.

Nan Qi's eyes were bright and gentle, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Bai. Bai couldn't help but reveal a somewhat shy smile.

Pu Bo looked at this, then looked at that, looking up at the sky in silence. He always felt that he didn't need to eat anymore, as he was full of dog food.

Pu Bo coughed lightly, interrupting the pink bubbles between the two insects. "Nan Qi, why did you go to the Void Cave? Did you steal something from the Imperial Research Institute?"

Pu Bo didn't know that there were two uninvited guests in Nan Qi's cave. He thought that Nan Qi had gone to the Imperial Research Institute and brought back some extraordinary things and hid them in the cave.

Nan Qi came over and sat next to Bai. Bai poured a glass of juice for Nan Qi and asked him softly, "What's going on with those two in there?"

Nan Qi took a sip of juice and briefly recounted the situation of the two female insects in the cave.

Nan Qi: "They were neither able to live nor to die. They had long been fed up with life in the institute. That's why they rushed into the cave without a second thought when we rescued Carter."

"They're really throwing everything at the stake. They dare to rush into your cave without knowing anything." Pu Bo frowned. "Sli and Slang? Twins? Both S-class, experimental subjects 061 and 062. The Imperial Research Institute has no regard for the legal conventions on interstellar experiments. They dare to openly conduct experiments on intelligent creatures..."

Bai sneered, "Why wouldn't they dare? This isn't the first time they've used insects for experiments."

"That's right. I still remember those male insects that were blown up in the video." Pu Bo smiled sarcastically, his voice as cold as a knife. "These garbage termites really deserve to die!"

After cursing the Imperial Research Institute, Pu Bo looked at Nan Qi and said, "I can help them remove the nanobombs, micron anesthetics, positioning chips, and other things in their bodies."

"Then we need to find a place that's conducive to Pu Bo's performance and can block all signals." Bai touched his chin. "I'll contact Lunke. He should have a solution. Let's set the location in his basement for now."

"We have to hurry up," Nan Qi said. "I haven't fully recovered yet. A living being can't stay in the cave for more than 24 hours. If it stays that long, it may be life-threatening."

"I'll contact Lunk right now." Bai got up to contact Lunk, and Pu Bo also started to move. He was going to prepare the equipment for the operation.

Bai and Pu Bo acted very quickly. An hour later, Lenk, with the instruments and Melon who came to watch the fun, and Pu Bo, who had taken the medicine and surgical instruments, met up in front of the gate of the Bai family's villa.

As soon as they entered the door, the insects went directly to the empty room in the basement. Lunke took out the things he brought and arranged them carefully in the room. Half an hour later, Lunke nodded to Nan Qi.

Nan Qi was about to release the brothers Si Li and Si Lang. Bai suddenly grabbed Nan Qi's wrist and looked at him with deep eyes:

"Be careful and stand behind me for a while. I don't trust them. Go farther away from the hole. Don't give them a chance to sneak up on you."

Nan Qi nodded and responded gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After hearing Nan Qi say this, Bai Cai let go of the hand that was holding Nan Qi's wrist, but he did not let Nan Qi go. Instead, he took half a step forward to block in front of Nan Qi, and held Nan Qi's other hand with his lowered hand.

Feeling Bai's care, Nan Qi raised the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and a huge black hole appeared out of thin air twenty steps away.

A moment later, a pair of identical twins stepped out of the black hole.
