Chapter 41 Uninvited Guests
Five hours passed quickly and the sky was already turning pale.
Xue Huanchao in front of the screen began to feel a little anxious.
He should trust his own judgment and also trust his friends in the cocoon.
But this plan is too risky.
The female insects that enter the cocoon will not remain awake. They will fall into a deep sleep under the influence of the male insect's mental power.
And there are very few successful cases of this kind. After all, most male insects only fall in love after breaking out of their cocoons.
So Xue Huanchao had no idea what the situation was.
He also cannot get close to the cocoon, so as to avoid external stimulation to the male insect inside that is in the cocoon-breaking stage, causing unpredictable harm.
"Doctor Xue, take a rest."
Ryan said that he rushed over as soon as he received the news and had already deployed his combat forces.
Major General Enoch had instructed that the insects be sent to guard the room before entering.
After all, the Art family, who were eyeing the situation covetously, didn't mind a death without evidence. If they could take advantage of the situation to eliminate Major General Enoch, that would be even more desirable.
Sure enough, eight hours after Enoch and Shay entered the cocoon state, the news got out.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Feng Man's father, Kret At, visits in person, hoping to gain Shay's forgiveness.
The richness of the gift list he brought was enough to let the insects see his sincerity.
But what is intriguing is that there is a male insect following behind him.
He wears a green badge on his shoulder, the logo of the Male Insect Protection Association, and this face often appears in major media outlets. He is a reporter with a strong insect aura.
"I heard that Mr. Shay endured torture he shouldn't have endured," Kret Art sighed to Ryan, who was blocking the door. "We went to his hometown and obtained this medical report."
"Mr. Shay has turned 18, but he hasn't even gotten past his budding stage yet."
When he took out the report, Ryan knew what he was planning.
Male insects approaching the cocoon stage are likely to become mentally unstable, leading to pheromone leakage.
Female insects, on the other hand, cannot resist the pheromones emitted by male insects when they are aroused.
This is also the reason why male insects are prohibited from emitting pheromones in public.
Any involuntary sexual activity during this period will be considered based on the pheromone concentration at the time. If the male pheromone concentration is high, some aggressive behavior by the female will be forgiven.
Especially when the male insect has not suffered any substantial damage!
"He's a precious male insect, yet he's being abused by his female father. How pitiful!" Krete said. "And after retiring, my son relaxed his pheromone resistance training and nearly assaulted Mr. Shay. I will deal with this matter seriously."
He's talking complete nonsense! Ryan gritted his teeth. They were at the scene at the time and didn't smell a trace of male insect pheromones.
After the incident, they retrieved the surveillance footage. Mr. Xia Yi was completely trying to relax Feng Man's vigilance! However, the fact that the Major General's eyes had turned into compound eyes must not be made public.
"Is Major General Webster inconvenient to see guests right now?" Kreit paused. "Or is it that the Webster family's way of entertaining guests is to use their adjutants to keep bugs at the door?"
What kind of guest is he! An uninvited guest?
"The major general is now accompanying his male insect. You know, Mr. Feng Man's behavior has caused great harm to a newly adult male insect." Ryan forced a fake smile.
Kret Art choked.
"I heard that Mr. Shay went to the hospital late at night. Is it because he entered the cocoon-breaking stage?" At this time, Gar Eric stepped forward and asked. He had a pointed jaw, delicate face, tall and thin figure, and complicated clothes, which was consistent with Ryan's impression of male insects.
"I'm here to investigate on behalf of the Male Insect Protectors Association, Captain Ryan. Please cooperate with us."
He nodded at Ryan rather proudly.
But Ryan didn't move.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Eric, but even visits from the Male Insect Protectors Association require an appointment." Ryan reached out to stop Eric. "It's not appropriate to disturb a newlywed couple on their day off."
Eric's long eyebrows knitted together.
"It's an investigation," he emphasized. "Captain Ryan, I'm investigating Major General Webster. Since the attack, you've been preventing Mr. Shay from contacting the outside world. It's hard not to be suspicious of his current situation."
"An S-rank female insect, frenzied to level II or even III, and a male insect with only F-rank mental strength. The male insect hasn't even made it through the cocoon stage, and he was admitted to the hospital late at night! We must see Mr. Shay to confirm his safety."
"It's well known that a female insect's raging mental sea can shatter a male insect's mental strength, especially one in a rage," he said, hinting, "Perhaps the unruly Major General Webster hasn't yet learned how to be a proper female monarch."
Upon hearing this, Ryan's eyebrows rose, and his short orange-red hair stood up like a burning flame: "Please show some respect!"
But Eric didn't look timid at all. He looked straight at the tall female insect in front of him with his chin raised.
Ryan felt the pain like a needle piercing his spiritual sea, and his face turned pale in an instant.
A-level male insect!
The Art family invited him not only to borrow the name of the Male Insect Protector Association, but also to confirm the damage to the major general's spiritual sea!
The cost of dealing with a capable and powerful major general and a crazy sick insect in the mental sea is completely different.
They can't be allowed in.
Ryan gritted his teeth, stood still with his tall body, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils.
He looked at Eric and Kret Art and said, "Please go back."
Seeing this, Kret At became even more certain that Shay was in a bad condition. He waved his hand, and the female insects following behind him began to atavistically transform.
We have to break in by force.
"Such a lively scene." Xue Huanchao came over from the end with a frown, "Fighting privately in the hospital, the Art family is so arrogant."
"Doctor Xue, we're here to learn about Mr. Xia's physical condition." Eric stepped forward. "As his attending physician, could you please tell us in detail?"
"This is the privacy of the sick bug. I have no right to disclose it." Xue Huanchao shrugged. "But for the sake of Lord Eric, I can reveal a piece of information."
Eric had a charming smile on his face, he knew very well how to use his charm.
The doctor in gold-rimmed glasses blinked. "Love can change a female insect tremendously. As an old friend of Major General Webster, this is the first time I've heard him get so nervous over a male insect's minor cold."
"Mr. Eric didn't expect this either, did he?"
Hearing this, Eric's fair face turned ashen, and he obviously remembered some extremely unpleasant memories.
Ryan then remembered why he felt Eric's face was so familiar!
Isn’t this the male insect that the major general rejected before!
That was many years ago. He was not yet Major General Webster's adjutant at the time. He just happened to see the male insect being rejected by the major general.
——
"I come from the noble Eric family and am an A-rank male insect myself. How dare you reject me?" The male insect raised his voice. "Perhaps I haven't made myself clear. I will give you the position of Queen!"
"unnecessary."
"Enoch Webster, you are too arrogant! What A-rank male insect doesn't have a female servant? I have already given you the position of the female monarch. The combination of the Eric family and the Webster family is the best choice for both you and me!"
The exquisite male insect had never been rejected by an insect since he was a child. Or maybe he was too young back then and couldn't hide his emotions at all: "You are an S-rank female insect. Without the comfort of a male insect, your spiritual sea will go berserk faster than other insects!"
"By then, I won't even give you the position of a female slave!" he said viciously, with his chin raised high.
"Sir Eric, I despise neither the position of female lord nor female slave," Enoch Webster said, "because it's you I despise."
"you!"
Major General Webster didn't listen to him anymore, turned around and left, glancing at them behind the door as he turned sideways.
Ryan was shocked at the time. It was the first time he knew that a female insect could talk to a male insect like this.
There were several insects present at the time, and the incident quickly spread and caused a sensation.
However, male insects never lack suitors. Eric soon found a new female insect, and the matter gradually subsided.
Major General Webster, however, remained single, forced to retire from the front lines due to his psychic sea frenzy. The occasional insect mentioned this, warning others: "Don't be like Enoch Webster. What good is a high-level female insect? A psychic sea frenzy will only lead to their utter depravity!"
Apparently, no one had dared to mention this matter in front of Gar Eric for a long time. His face turned pale and red, and finally he took a deep breath and said, "Since Dr. Xue is not comfortable revealing Mr. Xia Yi's condition, then we will wait here."
Kret Art took over the conversation: "Please tell Major General Webster that Admiral Art is on his way to the main planet and will arrive in an hour."
This was the Art family's final trick, and Ryan's heart sank.
If it was Admiral Owen Art who arrived, the Major General would have to come out to receive him.
But can Mr. Shay break out of the cocoon in an hour?
"Doctor Xue, what's the situation?" Ryan asked immediately after entering the monitoring room.
Xue Huanchao put away the smile on his face and took off his glasses. "Cheng Jian hasn't made any movement. Nine hours have passed. Logically, the mental power monitor should have shown a sawtooth fluctuation since the sixth hour."
"When will Admiral Art arrive?"
"We've sent people to secretly stop him, but he's already at the jump station and will arrive in two hours at the latest." Ryan rubbed his brows. Admiral Art was recently at the Wenwei Supernova, and he didn't expect him to come back so quickly.
It seems that the Art family is really without successors, and even Feng Man, a person who is not presentable, is kept like a treasure.
"There's no time." Xue Huanchao said, "We have to get Shay out of his cocoon before Admiral Art returns."
"The Admiral is also an S-rank female insect. If he were to intervene forcefully, both insects in the cocoon would die."
It is normal for male insects to die during the cocooning period, especially those that enter the cocooning period late, as they are extremely fragile and vulnerable.
Isn't it rare that after the male dies, the female insect goes crazy and commits suicide?
