Q: How to develop a sweet relationship with a female gentleman

Many dignitaries attended the banquet.

Seeing that Pei Zhiyu didn't wear the clothes he specially prepared, Ruiqi was very dissatisfied: "Do you know how much that dress cost me? You didn't even wear it!"

Pei Zhiyu raised his eyes calmly: "Wear it to seduce those noble male insects?"

Although everyone in the Balik family tacitly agreed to let Pei Zhiyu do this, Ricky couldn't accept this sentence now because he was too proud to do so in public.

Generally speaking, offspring born from a female insect would take the father's surname and be assigned to the father's clan. However, Ricky's clan wasn't even considered a top clan in the imperial capital, not even the declining Balik clan.

So the bugs outside would only call Pei Zhiyu the second son of Balik, rather than the female cub of the Richie family.

Richie also married into a high position and was a female servant. It was not until the female king of Balik died on the battlefield that Richie was able to raise her status.

Seducing the nobles was a method that Richie approved of, but it was difficult to bring up.

Ricky gave Pei Zhiyu a cold look, full of warning.

Aaron stood with his father-in-law at this time: "Father-in-law, this is for your own good, don't be ungrateful!"

Ricky was very happy to see Aaron speaking up for him, and quickly agreed: "Look how sensible your brother is!"

Pei Zhiyu found it ironic that as an outsider, he had no feelings for the so-called Balik family, his female father, or his male insect brother.

Pei Zhiyu was curious about what he would think if his original body hadn't died. After pushing him into the fire pit, he said as if it was a matter of course, "It's for your own good."

No matter how you think about it, it's funny.

Finally, whether out of disdain or speaking for his original self, he said calmly, "If this is for my own good, then my father should have done something successful, right? Whether he's a high-ranking military officer or a business tycoon, he could help the Barrick family, right? And Aaron wouldn't be looked down upon and ostracized by some of their noble male insects."

"If my father-in-law is a high-ranking officer, then I wasn't injured on the battlefield, right?"

These few words touched the sore spot of Ricky and Aaron, and the last sentence was even more pointed.

Ricky's face suddenly turned ugly, and Aaron looked at Ricky with some blame in his eyes.

It wasn't hard to guess that this arrogant male insect thought Pei Zhiyu's words had some truth to them. Aaron disdained to play with common male insects, but due to his declining family background, he was often targeted and looked down upon by other noble male insects at aristocratic gatherings.

He thought that if his female father had done something, he would not be bullied.

When Ricky saw the reproachful look in the eyes of his favorite male insect cub, he felt sad again, but he did not say anything to Aaron. Instead, he warned Pei Zhiyu with his eyes.

Pei Zhiyu found it funny.

They just stood there, and because of Pei Zhiyu's outstanding appearance, he attracted many eyes. However, those eyes were different from the usual prying and scrutinizing, but were filled with the intention of watching the fun.

As members of the same aristocracy, they were all well aware of the Balik family's dirty deeds. Tonight was the day this beautiful female insect would be taken in by Marquis Macuri.

Pei Zhiyu closed his eyes and ignored the gazes around him. The insects that would pick him up had already been arranged.

Tonight will not be the day that Marquis Macuri will take him in, but it will be a good day for him to get rid of this dirty place.

Marquis Macuri, the organizer of the party, showed up early. But since the Seventh Prince would be attending the banquet today, he was busy entertaining guests and therefore didn't come to Pei Zhiyu's side.

During the banquet, a male insect appeared in a luxurious black suit. He had an arrogant look and delicate features. A red gem brooch pinned on his collar made him look even more noble and beautiful.

This is the noble seventh prince of the empire, Cyril.

Unlike his handsome and delicate appearance, he has an extremely violent personality. He once ordered dozens of female insects to be taken away for punishment overnight.

So the female insects in the empire love and hate him.

As soon as this handsome prince came in, he attracted the attention of countless insects. No matter how many times they saw this prince, they couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity and wonder of the insect god's creation.

Obviously, Pei Zhiyu was also attracted by the noise.

But when he saw the delicate and beautiful face of the Zerg, his pupils suddenly constricted and his heart trembled violently.

That face looked very much like an old friend of his.

The prince who was surrounded by many Zergs looked towards Pei Zhiyu as if possessed by a ghost.

For some reason, the other person paused and had the same reaction as Pei Zhiyu, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Their eyes met, and they couldn't describe the feeling. They only felt that the surrounding sounds suddenly became silent, leaving them just staring at each other.

Pei Zhiyu obviously realized his own loss of composure and quickly calmed down.

The Seventh Prince did not let him go, but narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the place from a distance. Marcus followed the Seventh Prince's gaze and saw the elegant and handsome Pei Zhiyu, and felt displeased.

However, he did not dare to express his displeasure towards the Seventh Prince. He just thought that Pei Zhiyu was shameless in seducing male insects.

Marcus was afraid that the Seventh Prince would take a fancy to the female insect he had been coveting for a long time, so he blocked him without leaving a trace.

Unexpectedly, the prince did not like You Chong trying to be clever in front of him. He directly signaled Marcus to move aside with a cold face, and then walked straight towards Pei Zhiyu.

Pei Zhiyu obviously didn't know that the other party would come directly over, so his expression was inevitably a little unnatural.

Some female insects nearby noticed this and scoffed, "I thought he was so noble, but I didn't expect he'd fall for someone more powerful."

"The Balik family has long had the word 'selling female insects' written all over their faces. What's so strange about him doing this?"

"He's really resourceful. He hooked the Seventh Prince with just a glance."

All kinds of sounds, neither loud nor soft, just happened to reach Pei Zhiyu's ears.

Pei Zhiyu clenched his hands imperceptibly, then quietly let go.

Ricky on the side reminded: "Seize the opportunity."

Although he had promised to give Pei Zhiyu to Marquis Marcus, since he could marry the Seventh Prince, the previous promise meant nothing.

Cyril approached Pei Zhiyu, his head held high and proud. He was no shorter than Pei Zhiyu to begin with, and now he looked even more arrogant. His handsome, thin lips parted slightly, and a cold voice emanated.

He asked, "It's you, isn't it?"
