Chapter 205 can only be addressed gradually.
His implication was clear: if Eli found out what had happened, they wouldn't blame Tan Chi; they might even directly cause trouble for the Lanetta family.
When Tan Chi was protecting them, the royal family might have turned a blind eye.
But now...
Tan Chi only protected the insect Letekar. To Tan Chi, they were no different from other insects, and received no special treatment.
Michele had already realized this after what happened last time.
Whether Lanetta can realize it is another matter entirely.
He now only hopes that Ranetta won't set his sights on Tan Chi.
He was, after all, the second prince of the empire, and one who didn't take them seriously at all.
Lanetta frowned, displeased but changed his mind, "In that case, forget it. But you can invite your other male insect friends over to play, okay?"
Michele couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, but on the surface he still dared not disobey Ranetta's words.
He bowed his head and replied, "Don't worry, Father, I will contact you all soon."
"Okay, then you should go back and get some rest." Seeing that he had almost achieved what he wanted, Lanetta naturally didn't want to argue with Michele any further.
He waved his hand, indicating that Michele could leave.
Michele bowed to Raneta before dragging his weary body out of the living room.
It seems he needs to find a way to get away from the Lanetta family as soon as possible.
He had originally thought that as long as he could get Ranetta to continue making money like before, he would regain Ranetta's attention.
But recently he discovered that Lanetta didn't care about any of that.
He was even more concerned about what kind of male insects he could bring back.
If this continues, the Lanetta family might end up trending on social media again because of scandals.
With such a background, it would be impossible for him to find another good worm.
Since we can't find any good worms, we can only find one that will provide him with enough to eat and drink.
As for Tan Chi... we can only deal with him gradually.
...
With the auction approaching, Eli has been visiting Tan Chi's house more and more often lately.
This made Luttkar, who had recently become engrossed in the world of the two insects, noticeably irritable.
Taking advantage of his amnesia, he clung to Tan Chi like a koala every day.
Others may not know, but Tan Chi knows it all too well.
Ever since his last heat cycle, Tan Chi has kept him so busy that he can't leave the bedroom almost every day.
If no other insects come to visit, he will always stay in the bedroom with him, or carry him to other parts of the house, or continue to torment him in other places.
Now that other insects have come to visit, Letekar has to stay in the bedroom, since he is indeed a bit weak.
But the feeling of knowing that Tan Chi was at home but not being able to see him made him feel very uncomfortable.
So he had no choice but to attach himself to Tan Chi, so that Tan Chi could only take him with him wherever he went.
Tan Chi didn't mind his clingy wife, so he simply carried her to the living room to see Eli.
At first, Eli was a little unaccustomed to the two worms being so sticky.
Later, he became numb and even wanted to hold his little male insect like that.
He's recently had to clean up the mess caused by Hines's radical actions.
As a result, I have much less time to spend with the baby male insects.
"Brother, is something bothering you lately?" Tan Chi handed the juice glass to Letekar and inserted a straw before looking at Eli, who was frowning.
He looked much more tired than usual lately, so Tan Chi looked at him with some confusion.
Whether it's the money or the situation recently, it's obviously much better than before he transmigrated here.
Tan Chi couldn't understand what else could possibly be troublesome for Eli.
Could it be the sugarcane he recently bought?
He bought it back for half the price of the original sale rights, which can be considered a huge rip-off for the Lanetta family.
When they think he's a huge victim, let them see the exorbitant profits from sugarcane. That'll make that old man, Ranetta, so angry he'll vomit blood on the spot!
Eli sighed softly, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Tan Chi and said, "Recently, many nobles in the empire have gone bankrupt. Although they are not very important nobles, there are still a few who work in the empire's functional departments..."
Even if he didn't say the rest, Tan Chi understood what he meant.
He frowned, as if he had suddenly thought of something. "Those families... could they be the families of those male insects who offended Kano at the banquet?"
Eli had nothing to hide from Tan Chi.
So I nodded without even thinking.
“The female father seems to be a little unhappy with what the Reeves family did,” Eli couldn’t help but sigh. “And I haven’t found a suitable insect to fill these vacant positions yet.”
The locations where these insects reside require a certain level of quality, which is why these insects dare to mock other insects outside.
Eli sighed, and then the mechanical insect beside him immediately brought him a fruit juice and a small dessert. "Good day, Your Highness Eli. We have some new desserts today. Please try them."
He casually ruffled the mechanical bug's head, making it happily spin around, then asked enthusiastically, "Does Your Highness Eli have any troubles that 001 can help with? 001 can help with a lot of things now~"
Upon hearing this, Eli looked at the mechanical insect with great interest. "Oh? If I tell you, you can help me solve this?"
He was really just trying to tease the mechanical bug, since the bug had a very lively and interesting personality.
Before the mechanical insect could answer, Tan Chi spoke first, "Big brother, don't take 001's words seriously later, it... um, you know."
Eli: "???"
What should he know?
But since his brother said so, even if he didn't understand, he had to say he did!
Eli even nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I understand."
As for what you understand, that's not important.
The important thing is that he "understands".
As he spoke, he tapped the mechanical insect's little head again, "I've encountered a situation where several insect positions need to be filled by new insects, but the new insects might not be satisfactory to the others. In this situation, what can you do?"
The mechanical bug's little head spun around, and then fireworks immediately exploded on the screen. "001 thinks this is easy to handle, so why is Prince Eli so troubled? 001 doesn't understand!"
Eli was almost amused by the mechanical bug's adorable antics, and he couldn't help but poke its little head again. "Alright, then tell me, and if I'm satisfied with the answer, I'll... let your master bug reward you!"
