Chapter 180 You're following me!
Although she woke up a little later than usual today, and the male insects were slowing her down, Mikel sped up her meal and didn't keep Elijah waiting too long at the door.
When Elijah first saw their general, he noticed something unusual about him.
His military uniform was as neat and tidy as ever, but his hairstyle just didn't look right today.
It's the same as before, but I can't quite put my finger on what's different.
Elijah looked again and again, his expression hesitant and unspeakable.
Was the general in too much of a hurry today?
However, Cheng Chu had no idea what Elijah was thinking, and even if Mikel had figured it out, he had no intention of explaining it to him.
Mikel gave him a cold look, and Elijah lowered his head and obediently operated the control panel.
The aircraft flew and soon came to a stop at the entrance of the Saintly Vine Cultivation Base.
Mikel glanced around and said with concern, "My lord, once you're done, don't linger. Go home as soon as possible."
A male insect named Arungus has appeared at the Saint-Symphony Vine breeding base, eyeing the male insects covetously. Mikel is not worried about the male insects' lives, but he has to worry about their "insect safety".
Cheng Chu held Mikel's hand, unwilling to let go. She said, "Okay."
After reluctantly bidding farewell to Mikel, Cheng Chu turned and walked into the breeding base.
He paced along the corridor, already starting to miss Mikel, whom he hadn't seen for long. So much so that he didn't notice a female insect in black overalls walking towards him.
"Good day, Mr. Chengchu." It wasn't until the working female insect stepped forward to greet Chengchu that Chengchu subconsciously responded with an "Mm."
After responding, Cheng Chu realized that the female insect was Arungus, and his face immediately darkened.
Not really.
Mikel was right; Arungus hasn't given up yet?
Cheng Chu remembered what Mikel had said, telling him to ignore Arungus and to go around him if he encountered him.
Cheng Chu was planning to strictly follow Mikel's instructions and ignore him, walking straight past.
Arungus made no further move, simply bowing his head to let him pass. It seemed he had merely bumped into him and politely greeted him.
In short, Cheng Chu successfully arrived at the Saintly Vine's breeding center. Lately, there have been insects specifically assigned to guard the entrance.
The insects guarding the entrance were all very familiar with Cheng Chu. By order of the Insect Emperor, they strictly controlled the area, allowing only one male insect, Cheng Chu, to enter alone during the designated period.
Cheng Chu even met a female insect he had met once before, the one wearing a black hat who had led the way for him and Mikel when they sneaked in together.
Although both were surprised at the time, they tacitly looked away and pretended not to know each other.
The guards greeted Cheng Chu as he approached in unison: "Good day, Your Excellency Cheng Chu."
Cheng Chu was the easiest male insect these guards had encountered to get along with. He would respond earnestly to every greeting they gave him, never lost his temper, and caused no trouble. He was tall and handsome, and also had a high level of mental strength.
"Good day." Cheng Chu nodded politely to them, recognizing the black-hatted female insect from that night at a glance.
This was the third time Cheng Chu had seen him.
Ayanli was the black-hatted female insect who brought Cheng Chu and Mikel into the base that night. He initially didn't want to refuse because it was Marshal Ralf's request.
I figured I'd agreed, so I agreed. I'd just take two bugs in for a quick look, and make it a quick affair.
The next day, Ayanli heard about the abnormality of the Saintly Vine as soon as he got to work. He was anxious and full of regret all day, fearing that his act of bringing the insect in had caused the abnormality of the Saintly Vine.
Fortunately, before leaving get off work, he learned from another guard captain that the anomaly that Saint Vine had suddenly appeared was a good one, not the terrible one he had imagined.
Ayanli finally recovered.
Just when he thought the matter was over, he saw Cheng Chu again, who was able to freely enter and leave the Saint Vine Nursery.
Ayan didn't understand.
Can't I just go in by myself?
Why did you ask Marshal Ralph for help before?
This Lord Chengchu and his cold, aloof female ruler are truly baffling.
Ayan stared at Cheng Chu's back for quite a while. The closest female team member nudged his arm and called out to him in confusion, "Captain?"
Ayan suddenly snapped out of his daze, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's go, shift's over, time to eat."
Hearing that they could leave work, the guards all smiled. They walked together arm in arm, chattering about what to eat.
Cheng Chu, who had just entered the training institute, was naturally unaware of what was happening behind him, and he didn't linger when he came in.
Since becoming more proficient, my movements have become faster and the time required has been shorter.
As if he had gotten used to it, Cheng Chu's body did not feel very tired even though he had been infused with the same amount of mental energy for the same period of time.
Cheng Chu strolled out of the breeding center, but the guards at the gate had been replaced, and he didn't see the black-hatted female insect.
As Cheng Chu walked towards the gate, he sent a message to Mikel, tapping his finger a few times on the screen before finally sending it.
"You're following me! You actually followed me!" A furious roar suddenly rang out.
Cheng Chu was so startled that his hand trembled uncontrollably, and the light screen in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.
Just as Cheng Chu finally managed to grip the screen, he heard another, calmer voice coming from the left corner.
"I'm here on official business; I didn't know you were here too."
"Official business?" The male insect's voice clearly showed disbelief. "What official business could a marshal like you possibly have that requires you to be here?"
The male insect's voice sounded somewhat familiar to Cheng Chu from the start. Only then did he realize that it was the voice of the Third Prince at the banquet.
Eavesdropping is not something to be encouraged, but they were talking so loudly that it was impossible not to hear.
Cheng Chu comforted himself in this way.
"That's none of your concern," Akkas retorted. "Where is the Lord? What brings you here?"
The Third Prince was immediately stumped by the question and his anger died down instantly. His eyes darted around, and he stammered for a long time, unable to explain why he had come to the Saintly Vine Cultivation Base.
After so many years of marriage, Akakas wouldn't dare say he fully understands the Three Emperors, but he is certainly the insect who understands him best.
The fact that the Third Prince doesn't dare to speak suggests he has something to hide.
Akkas asked casually, "So, Master, you've taken a fancy to that female insect here again? You can just say so; I won't refuse."
The male of the Three Sovereigns immediately exploded: "What nonsense are you spouting! I haven't taken a liking to any other female insect!"
Judging from the male insect's reaction, this possibility can be ruled out first.
Before Akkas could say anything, the Third Prince spoke up again.
"Arkkas, for your sake, I haven't taken a new female servant all these years. And you still think of me like this?" The Third Prince's male son looked hurt, his finger trembling as he pointed at Akkas.
