As a male insect, I am cooking food live

The dying female insect on the big bed began to move.

He slowly propped himself up and looked in the direction of Xiao Shen Hui.

For some reason, Xiao Shenhui felt that the other party did not want them to see his vulnerability.

“…It’s you?” The female insect’s gaze swept around and finally stopped on little Shen Hui.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, little Shen Hui met those purple eyes.

Little Shen Hui thought of the sunset in the orphanage, the sky was slowly dyed with a beautiful and mysterious color.

So beautiful. His eyes.

The female insect's eyes reflected its own image, giving little Shen Hui an illusion.

It was as if he was everything to the other person. An inexplicable emotion spread throughout his body, and little Shen Hui stood there in a daze.

It was a strange experience, but he didn't hate it.

It was not until the other party shouted again that he woke up from his dream.

Little Shen Hui didn't know what to say, so he just nodded silently.

The female insect on the bed stretched out her hand towards him, and the whip marks on her arm were scattered and extremely glaring.

The obvious fact before little Shen Hui was that the female insect in front of him had been bullied.

Little Shen Hui was somewhat bewildered and remained where he was. Many insects had told him that the Imperial Palace was the safest place.

This is clearly the safest place, so why would something like this happen? Little Shen Hui didn't dare to think too deeply.

"Come to me." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing little Shen Hui.

Little Shen Hui hesitated, subconsciously looking at Tabor. In his dream, he was the only person he trusted.

Perhaps because Taber is more like a little adult than himself, little Shen Hui always feels at ease in front of Taber.

He saw the surprise on Taber's face.

Facing Xiao Shen Hui's dependent gaze, Taber adjusted his expression and quietly let go of Xiao Shen Hui's hand.

Phyllis, who had long been dead, was imprisoned in the palace.

He didn't want little Shen Hui to hold him tightly and steal his warmth.

"Go if you want." Little Taber looked down at the two insects' tightly clasped hands and did not struggle.

"Can I come over?"

"Why not?" Little Taber asked, "Are you worried?"

Little Shen Hui shook his head and bit his lip.

"I..."

"Ekman," the two insects of similar height looked at each other. Little Taber met Little Shen Hui's evasive gaze. "Do you want to leave?"

"Yes, we can take him away first." The most important thing is to rescue the other person first.

"We can't take him with us." Little Taber ruthlessly broke Shen Hui's fantasy. "If you leave this time, you will never see him again."

"Why?" Little Shen Hui couldn't control his emotions and asked in a muffled voice.

"Ekman, are you still going to play dumb?" Little Taber ignored Alva's warning look.

"If you think I'm lying to you, then just expose me." Little Shen Hui took a deep breath.

"Okay. Who in the palace could possibly be the one to imprison a female insect?"

"Taber." Alva stood between the two insects and met Taber's provocative gaze. "He is not [him]."

"Hmph." Taber snorted and turned his back.

Alva turned around and comforted little Shen Hui, "Ek, how about we go back first?"

"No. I want to get him out."

Little Shen Hui walked towards the female insect in front of the bed and looked up.

The female insect met Xiao Shenhui's red eyes, and he could clearly hear Xiao Shenhui's rapid breathing.

"You were bullied by a bug." Little Shen Hui stated, "Who was it?"

Phyllis was stunned. He had imagined this conversation many times, but little Shen Hui still exceeded his expectations.

Phyllis chuckled, patted little Shen Hui's head, and held him in her arms.

"How did you find this place?" He did not directly answer Xiao Shenhui's question.

This feeling is completely different from the volunteer touching your head, and it is also different from the feeling of Fox hugging you.

Little Shen Hui couldn't put the subtle difference into words, but he understood it.

Little Shen Hui felt a tightness in his chest. He shook his head without saying anything, secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

It was so embarrassing, he didn't want them to see it.

Phyllis carried little Shen Hui to the bed. It was a soft and comfortable big bed, but little Shen Hui felt uncomfortable all over.

The light flickered, and the two female insect cubs looked at Phyllis.

Phyllis's eyes quickly swept over Alva and stopped at Tabor.

"The Capet cub?" It was a positive tone.

Taber nodded in response. Alva, Ekman, Phyllis.

The atmosphere between the three insects was strange. From the appearance, Alva was more like Phyllis.

But in terms of closeness, Phyllis is closer to Ekman.

Taber didn't know Alva's sire, but he knew that Damian, the leader of the Silver Knights, was Ekman's sire.

This was the news that Blake revealed while chatting with Angus.

Taber chose to remain silent. He walked to the edge of the bed and used his mental power to destroy the chains, but the chains remained intact.

Taber's face turned cold.

"This is designed for the mental power of female insects," Phyllis hooked the chain with his right hand, "Cape insect cub, there's no need to waste your mental power."

"you……"

"I'm dead. Don't call me that." Phyllis reacted quickly.

Phyllis followed Celt to death, and now what is alive is just an empty shell.

"You're clearly still alive." Little Shen Hui pressed against Phyllis's chest. "Listen, it's still moving."

"...You really do look like him." Phyllis looked at the male insect cub in her arms, "You are not his cub."

Little Shen Hui looked up and met Phyllis's gaze. He looked so sad.

"I'll rescue you first." Little Shen Hui extended his mental tentacles.

The tentacles attached themselves to the chains, constantly eating away at them. In the silent chamber, the sound of them devouring the chains was particularly clear.

Phyllis wiped the sweat off little Shen Hui and met his sparkling eyes.

"Okay, I did it."

Phyllis stared at her empty ankles and whispered:

"enough."

"That's not enough. I want to rescue you. Don't be afraid. Xiongfu will help you."

Little Shen Hui extended his tentacles to Phyllis's wound and treated it carefully.

"He is not your father." Phyllis suddenly held little Shen Hui's hand with a firm tone.

Alva rushed forward and grabbed Phyllis's hand.

He stared at Phyllis, but Phyllis never looked at him.

Little Shen Hui found that his hands were shaking slightly, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were filled with panic.

He didn't want his dream to be shattered.

"He is my male father." Little Shen Hui answered quickly, "I am Ekman, a little prince, and my male father is the Insect King Fox."

Yes, he in this world is Fox's child.

Little Shen Hui broke free from Phyllis's arms.

He is indeed not Ekman. The female insects present came to this conclusion in their minds.

If it were the Ekman of the past, facing a female insect that questioned his identity, he would definitely teach her an unforgettable lesson.

Ekman is extremely domineering and flamboyant.

"You must have said something wrong because you were too nervous. Just go out and everything will be fine." Little Shen Hui was at a loss, and his mental tentacles also showed panic. The tentacles were still attached to the wound to heal Phyllis.

Phyllis just stared at little Shen Hui's eyes. After a while, he spoke:

"Curious about the wound on my back?"

"What…?"

Phyllis turned around and little Shen Hui looked at her from the closest distance.

The shocking scar that caught the eye.

Hideous, twisted scars crisscrossed his skin, leaving uneven, dark red scar tissue clinging to the wounds.

The wounds were even more jagged, as if they had been cut repeatedly by a blunt object until the organs belonging to his body were perfectly peeled off.

"He stripped off your butterfly wings." Taber suppressed his anger.

“…Butterfly wings?” Little Shen Hui murmured.

"Yes, it's the stripping of the wings of the female butterfly species," Taber said coldly. "This kind of punishment is usually only seen on death row."

"Ekman, you are also a butterfly, you know the importance of butterfly wings." Taber's gaze stayed on little Shen Hui.

A long silence passed. Little Shen Hui remained silent as he repaired Phyllis's wound until his skin was smooth as before, but a mark remained. Where the butterfly's wings once were, a scar remained.

Little Shen Hui finally faced up to everything he had ignored: the servants' eyes of admiration and fear, Fox's scrutiny, and Alger's inexplicable smile.

During this time, did you really not notice anything wrong?

He never saw the servant who accidentally knocked over the teacup again. Alger often spoke of the twisted logic of the next generation of the Insect King.

"I'm sorry." Little Shen Hui apologized, tears streaming down his face. "I could have noticed it sooner."

In the dim light, two worlds intertwined before his eyes. One was Shen Hui, the ostracized child in the orphanage. He curled up in his quilt, the summer night filled with the constant chirping of insects as he choked back the day's grievances.

One was a beloved prince, loved by everyone and had family. But in the dim light, before him was a tortured female insect.

"It's all my fault. It's because I was too greedy. I'm a bad kid."

If only I hadn't been so greedy and returned the body to its original owner, he'd have discovered the secrets of this place before me. He's bolder and more courageous than me, and perhaps he'd have rescued the female insect long ago.

"It's not your fault. You are not his cub." Phyllis gently hugged little Shen Hui and patted his back.

"I'm not his child. I have my own name. I'm sorry." Little Shen Hui cried, "I just want mommy and daddy."

The hand that was patting little Shen Hui on the back paused.

"It's so tiring to be alone," said little Shen Hui. "No one likes me."

"Then who are you?" Alva couldn't help but speak, and suddenly closed his mouth. He saw Phyllis's cold eyes, which easily pierced his heart.

"No, there are bugs that like you. No bug would dislike its own cubs." Phyllis comforted in a gentle voice.

"But no one wants me. I have always been alone." Little Shen Hui sobbed. Phyllis's embrace was too warm and little Shen Hui couldn't suppress his emotions.

He was just a child, he couldn't bear so many emotions alone, and the precarious emotions collapsed and erupted at this moment.

Phyllis was speechless. He kissed little Shen Hui's forehead with a guilty look on his face.

[Felix, it's not easy to raise a Night Pearl cub.]

[The cubs have inherited memories and abilities you can't imagine.]

I don't understand, Lord.

[That is to say, the Night Pearl cub won't die easily. Fili, what if one day...]

【Protecting yourself is the most important thing. 】

【My Lord, I won’t do that.】

"It's their fault. They put you through so much. They shouldn't have abandoned you."

Phyllis led the pursuers away and was captured in exchange for the survival of the insect egg. The price was imprisonment, and the insect egg disappeared.

The crying in his arms subsided, little Shen Hui's eyes were red and his tone was firm.

"Fox is a bad guy, I want to rescue you."

"Save?" Tubber asked, "How? Will Xiang Xiongbao help?"

"Abuse is against the law, and if you do something wrong you must be punished."

"Naive," Little Tabor replied, "Lavien, who abused his young, is still revered by the bugs even after his death, and his descendants enjoy special treatment."

"Tubb Capet," Alva said, unable to bear it any longer. "Stop provoking him."

"Brother Alva," Xiao Shen Hui stopped him, "I can do it."

"Then what should I do?" Little Shen Hui said seriously, rubbing the corners of his eyes, "What should I do to save him?"

"you?"

"I'm not kidding. I'm serious, get him out."

Taber looked at little Shen Hui seriously, and after a while he said, "It's a pity that you can't do it. None of us can do it."

"Why? Alger said I'm an A-rank male insect."

"Hmm. It's useless."

"Then what about the Night Pearl's authority? Just like before."

"Ike, no. You can't use the Night Pearl's power on him," Alva reminded him. "He is a dead insect, and even more so a sinful insect."

"The former Insect King Celt's female monarch, a sinful insect who fled when the Insect King was in danger."

"Ek, our best option right now is—"

"Go back pretending you know nothing, and then visit him from time to time." Alva said word by word.

Little Taber smiled silently with a cold expression, and did not refute in the end.

"I don't want it." Little Shen Hui replied, "I won't accept such an outcome."

"We were on Dolan Planet before—"

"That's different." Alva replied, "Ek, do you really understand what you are trying to overthrow now?"

"You can't do it."

This was the first time no one supported him. Little Shen Hui thought helplessly, and in a panic, he met Phyllis's eyes.

"I'll find a way." Little Shen Hui promised childishly.

"That's enough," Phyllis smiled.

"enough?"

"Well, seeing you is enough."

They were all trying to comfort me, but in the end, nothing was accomplished.
