The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 193: Speculation

Lu Shinian retracted the coldness from his demeanor and strode over to Su Ruan.

"Ruan Ruan is awake."

He raised his hand and ruffled her somewhat messy hair.

"Are you hungry?"

Su Ruan shook her head, her mind seemingly still lingering on the image of Lu Shinian covered in blood.

A faint pang of pain emerged in her heart, turning her face pale.

Noticing the change in Su Ruan’s complexion, Lu Shinian’s eyes flickered briefly before he spoke up, "Ruan Ruan, don’t worry, everything’s fine now."

Su Ruan belatedly realized what Lu Shinian meant by "fine" in his words.

Mentioning last night’s events, Su Ruan quickly said, "Oh, right, that robed figure from last night..."

Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly; when he found her, he hadn’t seen that robed figure.

He and Su Heyuan both suspected the robed figure had escaped, but they currently had no clues as to where.

"Did you see him?" Su Ruan asked further.

Lu Shinian shook his head, "No."

"Then did you see a butterfly?" Su Ruan gestured, "It was black with the edges of its wings in that golden hue."

She recalled that last night, the robed figure seemed to call that butterfly... Nightmare Butterfly?

"It seemed like a Nightmare Butterfly."

Lu Shinian’s pupils suddenly contracted, "Nightmare Butterfly?"

Su Ruan nodded, "I encountered a Nightmare Butterfly once before on Muhe Star."

"I feel like the one I met yesterday is the same one I encountered on Muhe Star."

Lu Shinian shook his head, "No."

"We didn’t see any Nightmare Butterfly."

Su Ruan frowned slightly, "That’s strange."

"The Nightmare Butterfly has strong space transfer abilities." Deep in Lu Shinian’s eyes, a dark current seemed to be surging. "If it doesn’t want to be discovered, it can easily transfer away."

Lu Shinian’s frown deepened as he seemed to remember something.

No wonder, no wonder last night, while holding Ruan Ruan, he kept sensing the presence of the Insect Race.

It turned out to be the Nightmare Butterfly.

He never expected the Insect Race to have already infiltrated the Central Star.

Su Ruan heard Lu Shinian say this and obediently nodded, then told him the information about the "Insect People" she gathered from the robed figure.

After explaining, she speculated, "Do you think the Insect Race has also discovered the existence of the Insect People? Maybe their internal affairs aren’t as peaceful as we’ve assumed."

Although the Insect Race was entirely obedient to the Insect Queen, this was a loyalty engraved in their genes, but the Insect Queen had died ten years ago, and now the Insect Race should be without an Insect Queen. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

If so, then internal divisions within the Insect Race should be understandable, right?

Su Ruan shared her thoughts.

Lu Shinian chuckled softly, playing with Su Ruan’s little hand, explaining, "The Insect Race is different from humans."

Human desires are too varied and numerous, but the Insect Race is different.

They have no desires, nor do they care about life and death; they only submit to those higher-ranked within the Insect Race. This is an inherent instinct in their genes, as well as a legacy ingrained in their DNA.

In the past, it was the Insect Queen. Now it might be some high-level Insect Race.

The domain of the Insect Race is incredibly far from the human Federation, and the Insect Race is a race that clings too much, so unless necessary, they do not wish to deal with the Insect Race.

"Low-level Insect Clan loyalty to high-level Insect Race is ingrained in their genes."

"High-level Insect Race loyalty to the Insect Queen is also ingrained in their genes."

Lu Shinian explained, "Internal divisions can only be related to the nurturing of the Insect Queen."

Su Ruan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then do you think a new Insect Queen may have emerged?" she asked.

Lu Shinian shook his head, "To our knowledge, an Insect Queen is born once every century."

He killed the Insect Queen ten years ago and absorbed the energy crystal of the Queen, so logically, an Insect Queen shouldn’t be born again in just ten years.

"That’s strange," Su Ruan murmured.

She could feel that the Nightmare Butterfly held no ill intentions towards her.

Because of this, she found it very peculiar.

She wondered if there will ever be a day when humans and the Insect Race can coexist peacefully.

This thought flashed across her mind and quickly vanished.

Unable to figure it out, Su Ruan did not dwell further on it; these are issues that have troubled humanity for centuries, not something she could understand overnight.

"By the way, what about my Second Brother?" she remembered her second brother seemed to be there last night as well.

Lu Shinian’s eyes flickered.

"He’s occupied with something and left temporarily."

"Is it related to the Insect People?" Su Ruan asked, "Is he going to investigate?"

"Yes." Lu Shinian responded in a low voice, "Ruan Ruan, don’t worry. He has many capable people by his side."

Su Ruan didn’t know that Su Heyuan was the Second Master; she thought Lu Shinian meant her own second brother’s superior had many skilled people around him.

She nodded obediently, a smile emerging.

"I trust Second Brother."

Although her second brother’s combat power wasn’t as strong as her eldest brother’s, her second brother was much smarter.

He would certainly be fine.

Though thinking this way, Su Ruan still sent a message to her second brother.

[Second Brother, if you need any help, make sure to let me know.]

Even before Su Ruan awoke, Lu Shinian had already erased everything that happened at the Military Department last night. As long as she didn’t actively investigate deeply, she wouldn’t find out.

Unaware, Su Ruan naturally wouldn’t suspect anything further.

As for the "rumors" Su Heyuan had spread, as long as they ensured that Su Ruan didn’t go to the black market or the black market in the Second World soon, they could ensure to a certain extent that she wouldn’t hear those rumors.

To this end, Lu Shinian specifically took a week’s leave, using the excuse that after absorbing the Physical Energy Liquid, he needed to consolidate it well, bringing Su Ruan along for high-intensity training every day.

Su Ruan didn’t suspect anything, following Lu Shinian for training every day.

She indeed felt her physique had improved a lot compared to before, now able to stand for ten moves against Lu Shinian in a fight.

During this week, she also purified some Energy Stones and handed them to Lu Shinian for him to carry with him.

Perhaps due to her improved constitution, she found everything she did was becoming more effortless.

During her breaks, she also completed sketching the remaining military uniforms, leaving only the purchase of materials for making them in the Second World.

A week later, Lu Shinian’s leave ended, and he went to the Military Department for a meeting early in the morning.

Su Ruan woke up slightly later than him and was informed by the intelligent system that someone was visiting outside the villa.

Out of curiosity, Su Ruan glanced through the camera.

Upon seeing the figure standing outside, Su Ruan instinctively frowned.
