Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

Walking fine, then suddenly a fall out of nowhere? The butterfly Insectoid looked around but did not notice anything amiss, and then slowly walked away.

Yet, a few people were still chatting nearby.

"I heard we have a total of ten people going to Landis Empire University, why are there only nine of us today?"

"There should be one more, a confidant of Lord Xi Le, I believe."

"That one must be groomed to become the next Commander..."

As they walked away, the Insect God strolled out from the shadows, having changed his appearance. He was no longer the highly noticeable silver-haired figure.

He now had short silver hair, light-colored pupils, and delicate features. At first glance, he seemed amiable, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and was also easily overlooked.

The Insect God stepped into Xi Le’s office.

When he entered, Su Man was saying to Xi Le, "Now that you are going to Landis Star, can you finally take me with you? You know it’s my homeland, I just want to go back and have a look."

Xi Le massaged his temples, "But I remember you and Su Wan don’t get along well. Nowadays, Su Wan’s son, Gu Chen, is the monarch of Landis Star. If you upset Su Wan, Gu Chen will care about it."

Not to mention the presence of Gu Jue, the War God and doting husband.

Su Man pursed her lips, "Our planets are on good terms now, why would I want to offend Su Wan? Besides, it’s been such a long time since we last met, those past misunderstandings and disputes have faded away. Su Wan will be magnanimous and won’t hold it against me. I’m thinking, it’s a good opportunity to mend our relationship, after all, in some sense, I’m still her sister."

The death of Su Zhen, along with the quarrels with Su Wan, Su Man had long cast any psychological burdens onto her late mother Du Weiwei.

After all, it was her mother, Du Weiwei, who had caused those incidents, and to this day, Su Man still resented Du Weiwei.

Also, she had touched on a point that mattered to Xi Le: he indeed hoped Su Man could reconcile with Su Wan, as it would benefit the friendly relations between the two planets greatly.

Not to mention, it appeared that Lord Insect God intended to maintain a long-term friendship with Landis Star. Indeed, such a relationship would bring more benefit than harm to the development of both planets.

Additionally, as long as their two planets united, no other planet or force in the universe would dare to act against them.

In the end, Xi Le nodded and said, "You’ll come with me then. We’ll be staying there for about three to five days, but remember, we are there as friends. You must not start any quarrel with Su Wan and the others."

"I understand, I will keep a humble profile when the time comes. By the way, I plan to take Yaoyao with me. Now that our planet can send exchange students to Empire University, if all goes well, in a couple of years, Yaoyao might be able to go too."

Xi Le nodded. He liked his pure-human daughter very much, and it would be beneficial for her to get to know Landis Star.

If the friendly relations with Landis Star were to continue, his daughter might even marry an excellent Beastman from Landis Star.

Of course, his daughter was still young, and all that was something to consider in the future.

At that moment, seeing the Insect God walking in, Xi Le promptly rose to his feet and respectfully said, "My Lord, what brings you here? If there’s anything you need, please just instruct me directly."

"Are the arrangements for the exchange students all set?"

"Everything is arranged and confirmed with Landis Star. We will set out early tomorrow morning."

"Hmm. Remind these nine tomorrow once more. if anyone makes a mistake, they will be sent back to the abandoned Insect Nest."

Returned to the abandoned Insect Nest, that was essentially a death sentence, and moreover, it was the greatest punishment for an Insectoid.

Xi Le’s expression turned solemn, and he immediately nodded earnestly, "Yes."

The Insect God nodded, then turned around and walked out at a leisurely pace.

But Su Man, looking at the somewhat familiar yet slightly strange Insect God, couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time. When Xi Le asked her what’s wrong, she said with trembling lips, "Was that... Lord Insect God just now?"

"Yes."

"Why, why would he also want to be an exchange student?"

Xi Le did not understand either, but he seriously said, "Lord Insect God must have his own reasons for doing this, plus he has always believed that the culture of Landis Star is very much worth learning from."

All Insectoids would have a blind trust and worship of the Insect God, and Xi Le was no exception.

Su Man frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

The strength of Lord Insect God she had witnessed over the years made her believe that no one in this universe could defeat Lord Insect God.

Having stayed on the Insectoid Planet for so long, Su Man naturally felt a sense of belonging, and now her greatest wish was to hope that her daughter Yaoyao could grow up and marry Lord Insect God.

That way, her daughter’s status on the Insectoid Planet would be supreme, and as Yaoyao’s mother, her status would certainly be much higher than that of Xi Le’s wife, who is currently the Commander’s wife!

This way, she would be stronger than Su Wan!

Her daughter, marrying the most powerful man in the entire universe, wouldn’t that be better than Su Wan?

However, the fact that Lord Insect God was going to Landis Star as an exchange student set off alarm bells for Su Man. She started to scheme, wondering if she should also push her daughter to go along, to be near Lord Insect God at close range...

When Su Wan learned of the Insectoids sending ten exchange students to Empire University, her first reaction was to think of her two children currently studying there.

She said to Gu Jue, "The Insectoids suddenly pulling this move, could they have some other ulterior motive?"

Gu Jue: "Xiaochen discussed this with me, and he believes that the Insectoids definitely have other motives, but it shouldn’t be harmful to our Landis Star, or rather, they might be here to steal our skills and knowledge."

The cultural heritage of Landis Star is here, after all, the oldest families originally came from Ancient Earth.

The Insectoids, equated to species from another universe, desiring to learn some culture, some technology, seems quite reasonable within the bounds of logic.

Gu Jue said, "We can also exchange some weapons technology with them. I’ve encountered their Insect God a few times, and he has no intent of invasion, but he does wish for the Insectoids to become stronger, to be able to secure their footing in this universe."

"They have already secured their footing. If it’s a win-win situation, then that’s no problem. But their presence at Empire University shouldn’t affect Xiaoyan and the others, right?" Su Wan hesitated for a moment but still expressed her underlying worry.

Gu Jue looked at her in puzzlement.

Su Wan said, "I am not suggesting they would harm Xiaoyan, that’s impossible, unless the Insectoids want to declare war on us. But I’m concerned... could they be thinking of marrying Xiaoyan?"

As soon as her words fell, the face of Gu Jue, the great Commander, visibly turned colder.

He said coldly, "My daughter will absolutely not marry an insect!"
