Chapter 433 Isn't this too abnormal!
Tan Chi nodded. "Okay, then I'll go back and rest first."
After saying this, he left the study.
As soon as the small figure disappeared, the Insect King's forced composure crumbled instantly.
"My lord, did you hear that? Our Achi, the most obedient and adorable male insect cub in the royal family! He... has a female ruler?!"
It was that little female insect he brought back from outside!
They locked him in the bedroom!!!
The Insect King gripped Bass's arm tightly, his voice choked with emotion, "My Lord, do you think there's something wrong with his mental domain? Or... did his mental energy release get stimulated in some way?"
Seeing the Insect King's incoherent state, Bass pulled him into a tight embrace.
His broad hand gently soothed his back, "Calm down, Your Majesty the Insect King."
Bass's voice was deep, but his speech was slow. "Think back to how Achi was just now. His emotions were more stable than the two of us combined. His logic was clear, and he could even modify mechanical insects. Does that seem like he has a mental problem?"
The Insect King leaned against Bass's chest, and as he thought about it, his breathing calmed down a little. "But... isn't this too abnormal!"
"I am more inclined to believe that Achi did indeed encounter the Insect God, or some other extraordinary encounter that we cannot understand."
Bass calmly analyzed, gently combing the hair behind the Insect King's head with his fingertips, "The abilities he is showing now are not those of ordinary insect cubs, or even ordinary adult insects."
"Then...the prediction..." The Insect King raised his eyes, still somewhat uneasy.
“The best way to verify whether the prediction is true or false is to wait,” Bass sighed. “Wait a month and see if my starship will be attacked.”
If it comes true, then everything Tan Chi said, including his little female ruler, must be taken seriously.
Hearing Bass's analysis, the Insect King's panic was finally suppressed.
He took a deep breath, feeling the reassuring aura emanating from Bass, before nodding.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Bass habitually pinched his chin, making him look directly at him.
"My lord, with me here, the sky won't fall. Even if it does, I'll hold it up for you. Don't worry, okay?"
These familiar yet slightly greasy words inexplicably calmed the insect king at this moment, completely soothing his last trace of anxiety.
The Insect King's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pushed him away. "Let's get down to business!"
As he said this, reason regained its footing.
“Achi certainly couldn’t conjure up a little queen out of thin air; he must have left the palace.”
Upon realizing this, the Insect King immediately rang the bell to summon his personal attendant insects.
Soon, a personal attendant insect appeared in the study.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty the Insect King?"
"Has His Highness the Second Prince left the palace today?" The Insect King's voice had regained its usual majesty, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of tension.
The servant bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince did indeed leave the palace with the First Prince Eli this afternoon."
Insect Emperor: "..."
Sure enough, he knew it!
Bass pressed on, "Where did they go? Did they bring any other insects back with them?"
The servant insect thought for a moment, then continued, "The two princes did not tell us where they went, and when they returned to the palace, we did not see them bring any other insects back with them."
The servant paused, hesitating slightly, "However..."
"But what?" The Insect King's eyebrows shot up, and his gaze was fixed on the servant insect.
"However, before the Second Prince set off, he seemed to tell the First Prince that he was going to... to see the future Empress."
Insect Emperor: "..."
Bass: "..."
Great, the case is solved!
That little female insect was probably something Tan Chi had taken from that nobleman's house.
The Insect King and Bass fell silent almost simultaneously.
The two insects exchanged a glance, both seeing the "I knew it" look in each other's eyes.
The Insect King rubbed his throbbing temples and said, "Go and summon the First Prince."
"yes."
The servant insect wisely and quietly withdrew.
The insect king's emotions, which had just calmed down, began to show signs of anxiety again.
"Achi left the palace without permission and even abducted another family's insect cubs! What if he gets caught...?"
Bass: "..."
"Master, whose female insect offspring do you think he is? If he belongs to a small family, we can appease him with benefits, but if he belongs to a large family..."
That would be a real problem.
Bass pulled him back into her arms and successfully silenced all his anxious thoughts with a short but lingering kiss.
When they parted, the Insect King's cheeks were completely flushed, and his breathing was slightly disordered. Finally, he had no time to think about those troublesome things.
"Don't scare yourself. Wait until Eli arrives and ask him what's going on." Bass brushed his thumb across the Insect King's slightly swollen lips, his voice tinged with amusement.
Just then, there was a knock on the study door.
Eli pushed open the door and came in.
The boy immediately saw his female father being held tightly in the male father's arms.
He sighed helplessly and bowed as usual, "Father-in-law, Father-in-law, what do you need me for?"
Bass released the Insect King and went straight to the point: "Eli, this afternoon when you took Achi out to meet his future queen, who did you meet?"
Although Eli was somewhat puzzled as to why Bass suddenly asked this question, he still answered honestly.
“It’s a small female insect from the Lanetta family, named Letekar. Achi says that’s his queen.”
Upon hearing this, the Insect King breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it's not some big family.
That's not a big problem.
"However, when we went there, Lord Lanetta said that Letekar was not at home, so we did not see him. I had promised Tanchi that I would accompany him again tomorrow."
Bass's lips twitched involuntarily. "No need. Your brother is quick. He's already 'brought' the bug back to his bedroom."
"What?!" Eli stared wide-eyed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
We hadn't even seen it before it arrived?
He took a few seconds to process this astonishing news, then nodded, "As expected of my brother! So efficient!"
Insect Emperor: "..."
Bass: "..."
Both insects felt the veins on their foreheads throbbing wildly.
One son is like this, and two sons are still like this.
One dares to do it, and the other dares to support it.
The Insect King rubbed his temples, trying to refocus, "The Lanetta family... what's their attitude towards that little female insect named Letekar?"
Eli frowned as he recalled what had happened at the Lanetta family's house that day.
He spoke truthfully, "I find it strange that His Excellency Lanetta doesn't seem to want us to see Lettkar. He always makes excuses and doesn't seem to have any intention of having the insects inform us."
The Insect King narrowed his eyes thoughtfully...
