Chapter 14 Central Star "Don't come to me..."
port.
The entire port was sealed off, and a large number of giant insects gathered here. Each of them was a significant force in the empire.
The Insect King claimed to be unwell and did not appear, but the Marshal, who was the commander of the military, and some noble representatives who controlled the economic lifeline all gathered here to welcome the general's triumphant return.
The general achieved a great victory in this battle, once again safeguarding the glory of the empire and expanding its territory.
As the army marshal and also as the father, Devi Lierxes had been waiting here for a long time to welcome Fipos's return.
The nobles came here simply for the sake of face and out of fear.
The military and the nobility had long wanted to annex each other, but the two sides were roughly equal in power, resulting in a situation of mutual restraint that had lasted for a century.
The only entity in the entire empire that can be mentioned alongside these two major powers is the neutral Male Insect Protection Association.
Male insects are treasures of the empire, and are something that everyone tacitly agrees should be protected as a priority. Therefore, the Male Insect Protection Association naturally has a great influence within the empire.
Furthermore, because many of the high-ranking male insects in the Male Insect Protection Association are the lords of large insects in the army or among the nobility, the Male Insect Protection Association has also infiltrated these two major forces: the army and the nobility.
But male insects have never liked to participate in politics, or rather, they don't like to participate in anything; they prefer to pursue a state of freedom.
Therefore, the male insect protection association, which is led by the male insects, has always remained neutral and rarely appears in front of the insects.
But today, Lanco Brandts, the president of the Xiongbao Association, who is usually aloof and doesn't give any face to any big insects, but is respected by other big insects, actually came here early under the scorching sun, which is unprecedented.
"Why aren't they here yet?" Lanco paced back and forth under the umbrella, scratching his red hair impatiently. "I hope something's happened to them."
"Don't worry, my lord. We just received news that they've entered the central star. Judging by the time, they should arrive in less than half an hour." The female soldier holding the umbrella gently reassured her lord, who had been waiting for three hours.
"Damn it! This is utterly absurd! How could they let the male insects come back with their spaceship without even notifying the local male protection association!"
This was Lanco's 99th curse. In fact, he started cursing as soon as he received the message: "That beautiful male is obviously a high-class male. If anything goes wrong, they all combined can't afford to pay for it!"
The male insect protection association members were waiting here early because they had received news of newly added male insects.
At first, they didn't think much of it. After all, the army would occasionally find male insects when they were exploring new lands. These could simply be handed over to the male protection society of a nearby lower-level planet.
If it is a low-level male insect, then it will be placed directly through the arrangements of the Low-Level Planet Male Protection Association.
If it is a high-level male insect, the application submitted by the male protector of a low-level planet will be approved by the male protector of the central planet, and then escorted to the designated planet by the nearby army.
However, the latter type is extremely rare, and those of such high rank that can enter the central star are even rarer. Only one A-rank has appeared in thousands of years, who later became S-rank and has the potential to be promoted to SS-rank in the future: Rice.
So at first they didn't take it seriously and only opened it for processing because the information about this male insect was submitted by the army of Feibos.
But the moment they opened the photo, they were all amazed by the beauty of the male insect in the picture.
Under the AI's lens, which is known as the "demon-revealing mirror" and is extremely rigorous in testing the true beauty of insects, the male insect in the photo has rare and mysteriously elegant black hair and black eyes, making the whole insect appear exceptionally white. Its extremely perfect and standard facial features and the extreme contrast of light and dark colors make it seem like a male insect that can only appear in a model.
He just casually drooped his eyelids and lazily looked at the camera, and he was unbelievably handsome.
And his name is Vison Il.
Those are the pure hair, eye, and surname that only the main lineage of the ancient insect bloodline possesses.
Putting everything else aside, it is common knowledge that the more beautiful the male insect is, the higher its rank. So even though no rank report was attached, all the insects unanimously believed that he must be a male insect of extremely high rank.
This was also confirmed when the orchids received instructions about the insect nests.
This is a male insect capable of disturbing the insect hive! Its importance needs no further explanation.
After receiving this news, Lan Ke was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several days.
How could those damned, rough female warriors possibly take good care of the males, especially since these female warriors were led by Feppos?
Phibos Gesellian is a regular at their male insect protection association.
"Damn it, Febus Gsilian! I won't even mention how that idiot Egra pushed Aegera last time, causing her to come to the association and cause trouble every day. Not long after, he pushed Reid, who's always causing trouble. And this time he's even hiding high-grade male insects! This time we must take him to a military court and make him go to jail!"
Lan Ke grew angrier and angrier, and said fiercely, his voice unconsciously getting louder.
As soon as Lan Ke finished speaking, the marshal standing in front turned his head and looked over, his gaze unreadable.
The female soldier next to Lan Ke noticed this and quickly apologized to her superior with a smile.
"Master, the female father is right there. For the sake of the military, let's keep our voices down," the female officer gently advised her ancestor.
"Am I, the president of the Xiongbao Association, afraid of him?" Lan Ke retorted irritably, but then unconsciously lowered his voice when he remembered the marshal's "great achievements" in the past.
This "madman" is capable of committing the extremely heinous act of "imprisoning" the Insect King, leaving the Xiongbao Association helpless and unable to rescue him.
Last time, when General Fipos pushed Lord Leeds, they tried their best to skin him alive, but in the end, thanks to the marshal's efforts, he only ended up in jail for a few days.
Although he wasn't afraid, it was best to avoid provoking a "madman" if possible.
"They're here! They're here!" someone shouted, and the invited reporters rushed forward.
The spaceship descended slowly, and the hatch closed.
"By the Insect God, it's a male insect!" A sharp-eyed insect exclaimed involuntarily the moment it saw the emerging insect.
As he exclaimed, the scene erupted like boiling water, with other unsuspecting insects also exclaiming and surging forward.
Visen was at the very front.
This was something Ilya had specifically told him. Now that he's a male Zerg who has registered his identity in the Zergling terminal, he can just be the first one to appear. This will also help alleviate some of the public pressure they felt for not notifying the Male Protection Association before taking him directly onto the spaceship.
Next is Fipos.
Fipos followed closely behind Vison, keeping a half-step distance between them.
Vison walked forward with a cold face, not even glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.
......
When Vison came out, he discovered that there were swarms of insects outside.
The blinding flash of the camera shone directly into his eyes, causing him to turn his head away.
Seeing this, Fei Bosi stepped forward and blocked his way, releasing his aura and glaring at the reporters.
But a new male insect appeared on the central star, escorted back personally by the general, and the male insect was as beautiful as a god.
These three points alone were enough for reporters to sense the immense news value behind them. They stopped flashing their cameras, grabbed their microphones, and rushed over. Everyone knew this was going to be a major, exclusive story.
What the reporters could think of, the other male insects present naturally also thought of: this male insect was likely a new, precious, high-ranking male insect, at least A-grade.
Even S-class.
They immediately abandoned their usual arrogance and disdain, all trying to overtake the other insects to get a better chance to introduce themselves to the new male insect.
It's obvious that there will be countless female insects who want to get to know this male insect lord. Now that you have just arrived at the Central Star, this is an excellent opportunity to leave an impression on you.
Order instantly descended into chaos, with all the insects surging forward, trying to get as close to Visen as possible.
Vison wasn't scared, after all, he had encountered many more people when he gave speeches and received awards before, and a group of female soldiers, including Fei Pos, surrounded him and protected him.
But Lan Ke below was so worried he was about to lose his soul.
In order to prevent Vison's information from leaking out and to reduce the number of informed insects, he did not contact the military. He only instructed the insects to maintain order.
There was no arrangement to remove the reporters. At the time, we were thinking that since a new high-level male insect had arrived, it would be good to have the reporters report on it. Otherwise, there would be insects every day saying that there would be no more high-level male insects among the male insects.
But he seriously underestimated the madness of these single, noble female insects towards the superior male insects.
He was terrified just looking at the dense swarm of female insects, let alone Lord Vison who was about to be surrounded.
"Marshal, please do something! Can't you see? They're going to drown Lord Vison!" Lanco shouted anxiously at Devi, pointing at the swarm of insects that was still surging upwards. "Evacuate them quickly! Suppress those who dare to offend the male insects!"
Marshal Devi remained standing in place, quietly observing the scene before him, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Lanco was furious. Seeing that Devi hadn't moved for a long time, he gritted his teeth, ignored the female's obstruction, closed his eyes and charged forward.

"My lord, it's a pleasure to meet you. This bouquet of roses suits you well. My name is..."
A female insect, who looked like a noblewoman, somehow got hold of a large bouquet of roses and squeezed to the front. Just as she was handing the roses forward and starting to introduce them, she was pulled down by the insects behind her.
"Sir, we are from the Male Insect Interview Newspaper. May we ask you...?"
“Your Excellency, I am from the Zeliha family. I can be your lady-in-waiting. I possess a great fortune…”
"Get lost, get lost, you?" Another female insect pulled everyone in front of her down. "Male insect sir, I'm much richer than them. My family also has..."
"Please look at me, sir. I am..."
"Your Mightiness......"
"......"
A group of female insects were pulling at each other's heads, and the pulling almost turned into a fight, getting closer and closer to Visen.
Vincent frowned as he looked at the swarm of insects a meter away, a swarm that could only be described as frenzied.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." The clear, melodious voice, like jade, was not loud, but it successfully quieted the place down.
Like students hearing their teacher speak, all the insects instantly fell silent, their eyes fixed on Visen.
He stood a step higher than them, his expression indifferent. He showed no joy or smugness at their struggle, nor did he show any disgust or impatience towards them. His tone was calm, and his demeanor was noble, like a god from heaven, or an incarnation of an insect god among insects.
"First of all, I do not accept any interviews."
Vison thought he had experience with this phrase; he usually said it after winning an award.
He really hates dealing with these reporters.
"Secondly, I don't want to get to know you. Don't introduce yourself to me; it's a waste of time."

Sen told reporters: His incredibly cold and indifferent face was the result of numerous practice sessions.
