Chapter 6 Refusing "Your Excellency,..."

Seeing that Fipose firmly refused and turned away, Vison was forced to laugh in anger, and tried to save face by saying, "General, you don't need to be so wary of me. I won't mention it again."

Isn't it said that no female insect can refuse the position of queen to a male insect? Visen felt a rage he hadn't felt in over 20 years.

Sure enough, he knew that trashy novel was a scam. How could it be?!

He really lost his mind for a moment, actually believing in such nonsensical things, and even offering his face to be slapped again, with his sincerity being trampled on again and again.

Vison felt a lump in his throat; his pride and self-respect prevented him from speaking.

The cave grew cold again, but compared to the silence that felt like springtime last time, it now felt like the dead of winter with a blizzard.

This somber and deathly atmosphere was like a dull knife cutting into the nerves of two people, not fatal but densely and continuously causing discomfort.

*

“They’re here,” Feibosi, who had been looking outside, suddenly said.

Before Vincent could react, he heard a loud sound coming from above the cave entrance.

"General, we've finally found you."

As these words were spoken, several people, or rather, several insects, landed at the entrance of the cave, as they all had distinct insect-like wings on their backs.

Suddenly, the already narrow cave became even more cramped.

There were about five or six of them, dressed in uniforms similar to Fei Bosi's. When they saw Fei Bosi, they became visibly excited and rushed over to surround him.

"General, we've finally found you. How are you feeling now?" Ilya, the leader, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Feppos sitting properly, but then his heart tightened again when he remembered the doctor's instructions before they set off.

The other insects also asked about Fei Bosi's condition with a mixture of excitement and concern. One of them even brought out emergency medical equipment to tell him not to push himself.

Although they were brothers who had gone through thick and thin together for many years, Feppos still couldn't stand Ilya and his group of insects' nagging concern, as if he were about to die any second.

Although he had initially expected them to come and collect his body, he asked them to come back to him in three days.

He blocked the instrument being extended towards him, saying casually, "It's nothing."

"How could nothing happen? We saw it all. Don't try to hide it from us..."

With a single glance from Feppos, Ilya immediately shut up.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Yes, sir."

As instructed, a group of insects walked to the cave entrance, preparing to spread their wings and fly back to the spaceship.

As Ilya was about to take off, he still looked back at Phibes with concern. This general always seemed indifferent to everything, not even his own illness. Ilya was worried that something might have happened to him, but he pretended nothing was wrong and brushed it off.

Just then, Phibes stepped into the light, and Ilya, seeing his attire, was taken aback.

Although Fei Bosi didn't care about many things, as a general in the army and a prince of the empire who was raised with great expectations, his etiquette and attire were always perfect. But now, why was the chain that should have been hanging on his waist hanging on his chest?

Ilya's expression turned extremely terrified. His general had indeed run into trouble!

The military doctor said that the general's mental sea was almost completely shattered, and even an A-grade male insect might not be able to repair it. How could he let the general spend his mental turmoil in the cave?

For a moment, Ilya was filled with guilt and was about to say something when he noticed that Feppos was standing still, staring straight at the shadow behind him.

Ilya was filled with doubt, thinking he had forgotten something, when he heard Feppus speak. His tone was as calm and even as usual, as if nothing was a big deal, but the content was extremely alarming.

"Your Excellency, it's time for us to depart."

Your Mightiness? ? ?

What, sir?

The subordinates, who were preparing to take off, all turned their heads at once.

Ilya and his swarm of insects were momentarily unsure whether to suspect they were hallucinating or that their commander had lost his mind.

It should be noted that only the most prized male insects can be addressed as "Your Excellency".

The general must have been too traumatized. How could he possibly imagine that the esteemed male insect would step into such a dilapidated place that even female insects would not want to come?

Your presence, male insect, is an insult to your feet!

But soon, a scene unfolded that made them suspect the existence of insects.

A handsome male with black hair and black eyes emerged from the shadows. His beauty surpassed even that of the most outstanding male insect stars in the insect race. His aloof expression could not conceal his noble bearing and refined demeanor.

His skin was like the purest white snow on a high mountain. His fair skin and red lips were stunning, and the clash of these two extreme colors was already breathtaking. But his eyes and hair were black. His eyes were as deep as rare and expensive obsidian, and his medium-length, black hair was smooth and shiny. The contrast between black and white created a stunning impression that Chong would never forget.

With the Insect God above, he must be a treasure bestowed upon the Insect Clan by the Insect God, a fantasy that all female Insects dream of in their midnight dreams.

Am I blind or brain-damaged?

A group of insects in Ilya all had this idea at the same time.

Otherwise, how could they possibly encounter a male insect in such a dilapidated cave?! And such a stunningly beautiful male insect, one that makes other insects want to kneel down and call him their master the moment they see him.

Even if it's broken, I'd be glad I died to see such a male insect!

It's all the General's fault for concealing the existence of the male insect, making them so slow to see such a great lord!

"Your Excellency..."

"Good day, Your Excellency."

Just as Fipos had expected, a group of insects were paralyzed upon seeing Vinson. Their compound eyes almost uncontrollably revealed themselves, and their pupils seemed to be glued to the male insect. Some insects even blushed bright red on the spot and stammered a greeting to Vinson.

Upon seeing this gentleman, they finally understood why so many females still flocked to him despite his ferocity and wicked nature. If it were this gentleman, they would be willing too, and they could even prepare their own whips.

They were even worried that the gentleman would get tired from cracking the whip.

"Ahem." The officer's low cough brought some of the insects back to their senses.

Ilya looked up and saw his general's dark face.

He mustered his courage and took a closer look at the noble male insect, suddenly noticing that faint, ambiguous red marks appeared and disappeared on the exceptionally white neck as the wind blew the ends of the insect's hair.

Ilya's eyes widened in horror as he discovered another astonishing thing: their eternally single general... had he finally found a partner?

A mix of relief and heartache welled up inside him. Even the general, who was indifferent to everything and even more aloof to male insects, had found a partner, while he remained a lonely insect.

But considering his appearance and the infatuation of the surrounding insects, it's safe to say that once they get back, the other high-ranking female soldiers will fight tooth and nail for him...

No, he had to protect the love that the general had finally found! Like protecting his own love! A sense of crisis and mission welled up in Ilya's heart.

"Let's go, let's go. What are you standing there for? Let's go back." Didn't you see the general's dark face?

Ilya swallowed his last words, shouted loudly at the group of fools who were still obsessed with the male insect's good looks, and then turned to Vinson with gentle, obsequious fawning, "Sir, let's go back to the spaceship first. The environment here is too bad, don't let yourself get cold."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, let's hurry back; the spaceship is warm."

A group of female soldiers who could wear short sleeves even in temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius now wished they could hold this soft and delicate rose in their hands, afraid that the rose would be blown even slightly by the breeze, and they all chimed in with agreement.

"How do we get there?" Vincent asked, his jade-like voice causing another stir.

Unlike females, male insects do not possess sharp bony wings that can be used for combat and flight. Their physical characteristics are basically the same as those of human males, except that they can release pheromones and can materialize their mental energy to repair the female insect's mental sea.

In other words, there must be an insect that carries Vison as it flies over.

At this moment, all the insects thought of one thing.

Their commander, Lord Febus Grisian, may seem casual, but he has a severe case of mysophobia and usually wants to stay at least 800 meters away from insects. He is someone who has absolutely no idea how to write the phrase "cherish a beautiful woman".

Previously, the B-grade male insect, Lord Egra, wanted to marry the General upon their first meeting, but the General refused without batting an eye.

Later, Egra pretended to fall into the general's arms, but the general dodged her. Egra fell hard onto the bright floor of the banquet hall, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Egra felt that she had lost face and from then on, her love turned into hatred.

We must not allow this gentleman to also suffer a "beating" from the general.

Just thinking about how this group of insects would vie to speak makes me realize how much they want to talk.

"Let me take you there, Your Excellency. I fly very steadily."

"Don't even think about it, you? Look at me, sir. I'm very strong and can guarantee your safety."

......

Seeing the group of insects so eager to fight over Vison, Feipo's face grew increasingly dark.

“I’ll take you there,” Fipos said without room for argument.

He stood beside Vison, his tall figure blocking him out, like a dragon guarding its treasure, concealing it and deterring any insects that might try to steal it.

Upon seeing this, all the insects froze for a moment, looking at each other in disbelief. Was this still the same general who could ignore even the most powerful and beautiful male insects in front of him?

Only Ilya wore an expression of complete understanding, even giving Feppos and Vison a strange smile.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Want to stay?"

Ignoring their expressions, Feppos held Vison tightly around the waist and extended his bone wings.

He looked up and saw a slightly awkward expression flash across Vinson's face, but he didn't resist, and he felt a sudden sense of relief.

Vincent did not resist. Although he was upset and wanted to stay away after being rejected by Feibos, he preferred Feibos to take him along than other unfamiliar insects. Ultimately, his feelings for Feibos were particularly complicated.

There was the lingering feeling of attraction from the beginning, the dependence on him to get closer, the pain of being rejected, the ache of recalling past memories, and the resolute decision not to like him anymore. All of these were mixed together, and even he couldn't say which one was more dominant.

In any case, compared to other unfamiliar insects, he was not as resistant to his approach.

"Just trust me, we're leaving." A deep, somewhat nonchalant voice brushed against his ear, making Vincent feel a tickle in his ear.

Two strong arms held him tightly. Feibos was stronger than him, and holding him felt like being wrapped in a warm, thick blanket. Although the blanket was a bit hard, it carried a faint scent of oranges, keeping out all the cold and danger, making him feel safe and comfortable as if he had fallen into a sweet dream.

When he was flying, Fei Bosi was not the languid, obedient, and alluring fairy he remembered from last night. His eyes were sharp and he exuded a strong sense of power, as if one could glimpse his invincible and sharp appearance on the battlefield.

The gaze of the person in his arms was impossible to ignore. Fei Bosi looked down, surrounded by howling cold winds, which made his suddenly softened eyebrows and eyes seem to have a gentle meaning.

Just then, his eyes met those of the person in his arms. In those incredibly beautiful eyes, Phipps saw his own clear reflection and suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked his name yet.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

After asking this question, Fei Pos noticed that the tenderness on Vison's face quickly receded like an unpredictable tide, and he turned into a cold little hedgehog.

"unimportant."

Vison mimicked the tone of Fipos's rejection of him, replying somewhat coldly.
