Chapter 65 Chapter 65 The damned 'slave contract' has always been...
The damned 'slave contract' has always been on Gal's mind.
His Lion King should be able to travel freely among the vast stars in the universe, and should not be bound by a humiliating contract.
Even during the time when he was still a human, he had never had any emotional experience with either the opposite sex or the same sex, and he never understood the word "love".
He was completely puzzled when he saw girls crying with tissues in their arms while watching a romantic TV series, being moved by the love between the male and female protagonists.
Love is not selfish possession, but giving and fulfillment.
Wanting to fulfill the dreams and preferences of the one you love, and wanting to see the sincere smile of the one you love, this is mature love.
Gal understood now.
"Russell said that this contract will only bind you for the first few months. It should have no effect on you now, Angus. You are free."
Gal had someone arrange a room for Russell to live in on the Reda. Everyone else had left, and Gal and Angus were the only ones left in the office.
Same as usual, but a little different.
Angus looked at the silver-haired male insect who had his back to him and was staring out the window as if nothing had happened. He could sense the despair and sadness enveloping the little male insect.
In fact, in Angus's mind, the contract accidentally carved by the little male insect had no effect on him.
Since he and Gal became closer, he really wanted to stay with the little male insect and wanted to stay on this blue planet full of human touch.
"Do you want to chase me away?" Angus approached the little male insect standing by the window with his back to him, his lips attached to the pink ear, "Does it mean that you don't need me anymore now that there is a female insect that is highly compatible with your body?"
He deliberately changed his tone to be full of resentment.
Gal, who was always calm, lost his ability to think in front of Angus and fell directly into the trap set by the other party.
Ignoring the tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes, Gal quickly turned his head away and said, "I'm not that kind of person, Angus. I will only choose you in my life, and no one else!"
What caught my eye was that handsome face, wrinkled from trying to hold back a smile.
"Okay, you're making fun of me again." Realizing that he was fooled, Gal was furious and bit Angus' neck.
Angus reacted quickly, using more strength with his hands to strangle the male insect in his arms.
As a male insect, Gal could not compete with Angus in terms of strength. If Angus exerted a little strength, Gal would be restrained by him and unable to move.
The little male insect, which couldn't even get close to Angus with its mouth, took a few vicious gulps of the air.
"Isn't this just to change the mood?" The little male insect's cheeks were puffed up like a pufferfish. In Angus' eyes, the male insect showing his true nature was very cute.
I couldn't help but place a kiss on that plump cheek. "General Evan gave everything to the country and the people, and what did he get in return?"
"I'm so tired." Thinking of the past, Angus' smile was full of bitterness.
"The moment I escaped from the Oaks Empire, I was no longer the imperial hero Evan with great military achievements." As he looked at the silver-haired male insect in his arms, the bitter smile was replaced by tenderness.
"If you hadn't picked me up from the water, Evan's soul would have dissipated in the universe. I am now Angus of Gaia, your Angus."
"Evan wants to conquer the universe and every star, but I, Angus, just want to stay by your side."

His Majesty the Insect Emperor ordered them to obey His Highness Eli's orders in everything, to protect His Highness for the insect race, and not to let other races bully their precious little male insects.
Without the permission of the male insects, the warriors of the First Legion dared only stay at the port outside the Earth's atmosphere.
In addition to Russell, even the doctor who specialized in andrology was sent back to the battleship of the First Legion.
"Sir, the hawthorn trees my father planted have begun to bear fruit. Please taste the first batch of newly picked fruits."
The little human girl with ponytails held seven or eight deep red fruits in her hands, looking at Gal expectantly with an innocent smile on her face.
The fruit must have been picked from the tree just as the little girl said, and most of the fruit was covered with some unknown dust.
Russell, who was following behind Gal, clenched his fists, feeling nervous for the human girl who was standing in front of the male insect, holding a bunch of dirty-looking fruits.
The food served to the male insects is all carefully selected by the female insects in the house. The processing of some ingredients is complicated and tedious, requiring the female insects to get up early in the morning to prepare them.
Even so, if the male insect is in a bad mood that day, the food on the table that looks like a work of art will still be rejected by the male insect. The female insect who has spent a lot of effort to prepare the whole table of dishes will not only not receive the male insect's praise, but will also be punished.
Russell had witnessed how demanding Prince Eli was in terms of food, and had also endured the male insect's intense anger when the dishes were not prepared to his liking.
He grabbed four or five fruits with one hand and the rest with the other hand and stuffed them into his pocket. Gal picked the reddest one and kept it. He wiped the dust off the fruit on his clothes and said, "Hmm~ sour and sweet, that's the taste."
The human Gal hiding in the body of a male insect is not that difficult to please. He is already very satisfied that he can eat the sweet and sour snacks he has been craving for again a thousand years after the disaster that wiped out his clan.
The familiar sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth. The sour taste caused his saliva to be secreted crazily, and Gal swallowed many times.
"Hawthorn has the effect of strengthening the spleen and appetite. It is good for the body. You should try it too." He took a few hawthorns from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Angus and Russell.
Angus imitated the little male insect and rubbed the fruit on his body before taking a big bite.
Lions are carnivorous animals, and Angus's diet consists mostly of various types of meat. He cannot get used to certain foods that male insects like, such as stinky soy products, spicy Sichuan cuisine, and fishy-smelling grass roots.
The male insect never tires of stuffing these strange foods into his mouth.
Angus, who had suffered countless losses, never put on guard against the male insects. Every time the little male insect approached with squinting eyes and smiling like a little fox, Angus would still open his mouth obediently.
The moment the juice spread in his mouth, the sourness went straight to the top of his head. Angus' handsome face was wrinkled by the sourness, "hiss..."
"Hahaha." Having succeeded in his plan, Gal laughed so hard that he fell backwards and fell into Angus' arms. "This is the sour taste of freshly picked hawthorn berries. Don't you think it's appetizing?"
The Lion King was not used to eating the sour hawthorn. Seeing dozens of eyes looking at them, he did not want to tarnish his image in front of everyone, so he choked and swallowed the sour hawthorn.
Seeing this scene, Russell silently held the fruit in front of his mouth and hid it in his palm.
"Don't fall, or you'll be the one everyone laughs at." Angus held the little male insect tightly in his arms, his eyes full of doting.
After staying on Earth for some time, Russell witnessed the changes in Gal Eli.
When he was bumped into by a running soldier in the corridor, the little male insect just laughed it off and told the other party to go about his business and not to bother with him.
When he went to the cafeteria to get food, he would not calmly enjoy the preferential treatment just because of his status as a male insect lord. Instead, he would smile gently and refuse people's suggestions to let him get food first, and queue up in the line according to the rules.
When examining the body, the sub-female doctor was a little too heavy-handed and accidentally poked the male insect's fingertip too deep. The male insect's fingertip was bleeding profusely, which frightened everyone present. He just calmly asked the doctor to get a hemostatic patch and kept comforting the sub-female doctor who was so scared that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
If these incidents had happened to the old Gal Eli, he would have handled them in a completely different way.
To Russell, the little male insect who was raised under the dominance of the entire insect society seemed to have been captured by an alien creature and became a completely different person.
However, Russell was not prepared to inform his biological male father of these discoveries. After all, the changes in the little male insect were only good for him, even if the other party's core was not that Prince Eli.
The current His Highness Gal has more kingly temperament than the one sitting in the palace of the Zerg main star, and his style of doing things is more suitable for being a superior and a leader.
Russell wanted to stay on this planet even more. It seemed that the technology and military here were lagging behind the Zerg, but Russell had a hunch that this country, this planet, would sooner or later become stronger than the Zerg.
"The fruit is delicious. Go back and tell your father that I appreciate his hard work." Gal stroked the girl's head and half-knelt down to talk to her.
Seeing some dirt on the girl's red and dry cheeks, Gal gently brushed away the dirt and dust on the girl's face with his palm.
"Amo, give me a can of lotion." Amo, who follows the male insect, is Gal's mobile treasure chest.
The mechanical arm rummaged around in the hole on the chest, and after a few seconds it accurately found the lotion its owner wanted.
"Girls need to take good care of their faces. Take a little of this lotion and apply it on your face after washing it every day. It will keep your face smooth and tender."
The lotion that Amo carried was naturally a special version for male insects made of various precious materials. No matter how young the human girl was, she knew that the shiny little jar in His Highness's hand was not something she could own.
"This is so precious." The little girl said, "My father said that the ultraviolet rays outside are too strong. It is normal for people like us who do farm work outdoors to have dark spots and rough skin."
"I won't waste your things. Please take them back."
The little girl looks less than ten years old, but despite her young age, she speaks so maturely, like a little adult.
"Here." Gal put the jar in the human girl's hand.
"After the catastrophe, the ultraviolet rays from the sun increased exponentially, and I couldn't do what the Zerg did and have machines do for us to work outside."
"Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays is not a good thing. I neglected it. When I return, I will ask the medical department led by Yuri to research some ointments that can block ultraviolet rays and strong radiation, and distribute them free of charge to every citizen of Gaia according to the amount needed."
Solve the problems faced by ordinary people instead of putting on a false front to maintain an image.
Your Highness's actions are better than those of the countless officials of the Zerg Clan who only do their job perfunctorily, and better than the Zerg Emperor who occupies the position of leader but ignores the distorted system of the Zerg Clan who has unequal status between males and females.
A wise and great leader, an invincible and powerful military expert, and a group of simple but united people.
Given enough time, one day the Earth's power and status will no longer be underestimated.
It may even be stronger than higher insect species.
