As the clattering footsteps grew closer, Chu Yang's palms sweated with nervousness. Then he felt the bedside sink, and the smell of mothballs filled his nostrils.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the male insect that millions of female insects want to marry the most. It is indeed extraordinary. Even I, who have been through countless battles, am a little unable to control myself."

The vulture, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, leaned down and stared intently at Chu Yang, who still had his eyes closed. Then, it turned and lay down next to him. One hand propped up its head, while the other hand began to wander restlessly towards Chu Yang's face.

Chu Yang, who was pretending to be asleep, did not expect the other party to start touching him so directly. He cursed inwardly, and his fingers were rough, and his face was sore from being touched. In the end, he could not bear it and suddenly opened his eyes.

Their eyes met, and there was a sense of déjà vu about his fiery red eyes and hair, but she couldn't quite place them. She gave him a standard smile.

"You're pressing on my hair."

The vulture, who was engrossed in watching and already having fantasies, did not expect Chu Yang to wake up at this moment. Hearing his words, he realized that the elbow he was using to prop up his head was indeed pressing down on a small tuft of Chu Yang's short black hair. He quickly withdrew his hand and sat up.

His limbs were still numb, and he could barely move a few fingers. Looking at the malevolent insect in front of him, he knew it was him—the service insect who had brought him food.

"What kind of drug did you give me?"

"Haha, it's just a little anesthetic, it'll be fine in a bit."

She lifted her leg and stepped onto the bed without even taking off her shoes, her arm casually draped over her knee, looking down at Chu Yang lying on the bed with a mocking gaze.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to marry you and make you my lord."

Then he turned on his personal terminal and made a phone call.

"Let the brothers make the arrangements. I'm marrying Chu Yang tonight."

Upon hearing his words, Chu Yang's smile vanished completely. Was this some kind of plot to forcibly seize something? With his bright red hair and eyes, one might even wonder if he had transmigrated again.

"Wait a minute. We don't even know each other yet, and my current appearance isn't quite right either."

Chu Yang comforted himself, telling himself not to rush, to understand the current situation first, and then to wait for the right opportunity to act.

"That makes some sense. Let's get to know each other formally then."

Vulture got out of bed and stood by the bedside, one hand on his chest, his head slightly lowered, and he introduced Chu Yang, who was still lying in bed, with a smile in his eyes.

"My name is Vulture, and I am the leader here. From now on, I am your queen. Welcome, lord, to our great space pirate group."

Space pirates? Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat. He had heard before that space pirates often appeared on interstellar routes.

They were a criminal gang that robbed passing aircraft and used insect matter to collect ransoms.

Moreover, their whereabouts were unpredictable, and the military's several encirclement and suppression efforts failed to completely wipe them out.

"Can I not join? You want a ransom, right? I can give it to you."

I can't move yet, so I can only talk my way out of it for now.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The vulture put its hand on its forehead, as if it had heard a joke, and laughed for a while with its head tilted back and eyes closed.

"Do you think I need your ransom? You should thank me. You gave me a lot of star coins to blow up that spaceship. If it weren't for you catching my eye, it would probably be blown to bits by now."

I gleaned some information from his words, so this encounter with the space pirates was not accidental, but rather a premeditated hiring of assassins to kill the insects.

"Oh, I'm really unlucky. I finally managed to go on a long trip, and I got caught up in other insects' mess."

Chu Yang frowned, looking at the curtains above his head, and casually complained.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? The problem lies with those insects who travel with you. They're going to bomb you!"

Vulture pressed his hands on the pillows on either side of Chu Yang's head, revealing a few sharp fangs, his eyes still glistening with tears from his earlier laughter.

"So, did you blow it up?"

"No, those who disobeyed were sent to see the Insect God, and those who obeyed have already had their identities canceled and are being sold on the black market."

Chu Yang lay helplessly on the bed, silently praying for the innocent insects.

"why are you crying?"

Seeing a tear trickle from the corner of the male insect beneath her eye, the vulture was momentarily stunned, the smile on her face freezing. She reached out and gently wiped away the tear from his eye.

"I am just indignant for the insects who have suffered this disaster because of me."

"What's there to be upset about? Blame it on their weakness. But I'm curious how you managed to provoke such a giant insect. It even planned this event specifically for you."

Chu Yang became alert again, recalling every insect he could remember, and making sure he hadn't had any conflicts with any of them.

The other party is still a big insect. So far, the only big insect I know is Crown Prince Xiao Mufeng, but I have only met him a few times and we have gotten along quite well.

"Can you tell me who wants to kill me?"

"No, although we are space pirates, we still have professional ethics and would never sell our clients' information."

"I am willing to become your lord."

"It's star coins sent from the Imperial Star. I don't know who sent them, but they seem to hate you a lot."

In just a few breaths, the vulture excitedly revealed all the information he knew without the slightest hesitation.

"I need to let my house bugs know I'm safe."

"No."

"I am willing to become your lord."

Vulture took out a black quantum computer and handed it to Chu Yang, giving him special instructions.

"Just one minute. Edit the message and I'll send it to you."

Shen Nanxi, who was working at the hospital, received a message from Xu Le, asking him to come home immediately. Xu Le's tone was very serious on the phone, as if something serious had happened, which made Shen Nanxi worry.

When they got home, not only Xu Lechu and Xinhang, but also Li Hui and Wang Xingyu were there. Everyone looked very sad, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"I just received news from the military that the aircraft carrying His Excellency Chu Yang... has exploded."

Li Hui didn't dare look at the three of them. He lowered his gaze and solemnly delivered the news.

"Impossible, it wasn't reported on TV, there must be a mistake."

Shen Nanxi staggered, losing his balance, but Xu Le, who was standing beside him, quickly caught him. Tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily, as if he had grasped a lifeline, and he grabbed Xu Le's arm and questioned him.

“Xu Le, what he said isn’t true, right? My brother should have arrived by now. I’ll give him a call.”

With trembling hands, he frantically tapped on the personal terminal. Chu Yang's name was grayed out. He tried to call him, but the other party couldn't connect. He kept tapping, his movements becoming faster and faster.

"It's no use, I've tried, the lord is not in the service area."

When Chu Xinhang heard the news, his first reaction was to make a phone call; he couldn't believe it was true.

"The Lord is currently out of danger. On my way back, I received an anonymous message, which should have been sent by the Lord."

These words immediately gave the insects hope, and they quickly gathered around. Xu Le opened the message and showed it to them.

[All is well now, don't worry. The tableware I bought last time was nice, but unfortunately Nian Nian broke it. I'll buy another set when I have time. You all should hurry up and divide the family property. From now on, Chu Yang is my lord.]
