Mother planet, battleships, artillery fire...
Musi sat in the space chair, looking around quietly. The familiar layout of the warship's command room was reflected in his violet eyes.
This dream again...
Musi raised his hand and confirmed once again that the military uniform with a red background and gold patterns was the regulation of the Queen of Insects thousands of years ago.
Having been prepared, Musi felt calmer than the previous two times.
He put his hands down and tapped his fingertips lightly on his knees, keeping the rhythm.
5… 4… 3…

After the silent counting, just like the previous two times, the door was pushed open by the bug.
Thump thump --
The female soldier in navy blue combat uniform strode up to him, bowed slightly, and knelt on one knee.
The female insect had warm blonde hair, a strict military uniform, and a straight posture, but her face seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible for the insect to see her features clearly.
"His Majesty."
The female insect's voice is deep and clear.
After the female insect called out those two words, the beeping sound of the mechanical operation disappeared from Musi's ears, and the artillery fire outside the starship stopped, as if a movie was frozen.
But the dream did not end there.
In this static space, Musi lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the epaulettes of the female insect.
Tangled thorn vines and four morning stars.
The thorn vine is the emblem of the Secaya family, one of the three major Zerg families today. The four stars... represent the Fourth Legion.
The Kosekaya family only has three legions.
No matter how many times, the things in this dream always seem strange to Musi.
Mu Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the frozen scene outside the warship. No one could help him sort out the clues. In a few seconds, this dream would end, just like the previous two times.
"Your Majesty the Insect King."
The low voice sounded again, penetrating into Mu Xi's mental realm and instantly bringing him back to his senses.
He turned his head suddenly and met a pair of clear, heterochromatic eyes, like a cat's.
Mu Xi was a little surprised. This was a call and eye contact that had never happened in the previous two dreams.
The Insect King... is that him
When did the Zerg have a Zerg King
…
A black fog rose in Musi's vision, sweeping everything around him.
Unable to move, unable to make a sound.
It was getting darker and darker in front of my eyes, and gradually, the pair of bright heterochromatic eyes were swallowed up by the darkness.
The spirit on one side gradually immersed, while the spirit on the other side began to become active.
Beep beep beep --
Musi suddenly opened his eyes.
What caught his eye was the translucent top cover of the rest cabin. Light blue fonts were jumping on the top cover, accompanied by a "beeping" sound, recording his unstable breathing and heartbeat.
"My dear insect master, are you having a nightmare again? Do you need to contact the male insect doctor?"
The voice of the smart terminal sounded in my ears, with exaggerated worry.
Mu Xi reached out and pinched the terminal earring on her right ear without answering.
Since breaking through level A, his control over his mental power has become deeper and deeper, and he rarely dreams. But now he has had the same dream for three consecutive days.
Although the content of the dream was very bizarre, the red dress with gold patterns was quite beautiful.
"Xiaoi, where is the spaceship now?" Mu Xi asked, but his thoughts flew to the female insect in his dream. The pair of heterochromatic eyes gave him a very strange sense of familiarity.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
The eyes, one blue and one gold, looked very much like his exotic cat. If he had seen it, he would have been impressed.
"We have arrived above Amika," the terminal intelligent Xiaoi reported the location and asked, "Lord Insect, are you really not going to notify the local nobles to welcome us? It would be a huge loss for them to miss the meeting with you."
"No need." Mu Xi said.
He didn't want to deal with those troublesome and boring little nobles.
The rest cabin was opened, Mu Xi gathered his thoughts and sat up, "Notify the captain of the guards to bring the worms directly to the Governor's Mansion."
"What about you?" Xiaoi keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Me?" Mu Xi put on his coat, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I'm new here, of course I have to visit my neighbor, the... king of the underground city."
"Visit? Do you want to give a gift?" Xiaoi was stunned for a moment, but as a terminal intelligence specially designed for male insects, his comprehension ability was high enough and he reacted quickly.
Then he said, "The underground city and the Amika government are still in a hostile state. You want a bug to go underground? It's too dangerous!"
Musi has made up his mind and will not change it. He also doesn't think that an underground city on a small planet can pose a threat to him.
"Why do you want to go alone to visit the leader of the underground rebels?" Xiaoi hopes to understand Musi's thoughts in order to find the best solution.
Musi did not answer. He climbed out of the rest cabin and stretched his arms and legs.
"Ah!" Xiaoi suddenly exclaimed, with a rising joy in the ending tone, as if he had solved a big mystery independently.
"I see. There are rumors on the Star Network that the "king" of the underground of Amika Star is extremely handsome. Are you interested in him?"
"... Be quiet, Xiaoi." Mu Xi said, and directly cut off the mental connection between the terminal intelligence and him.
He did have some interest in that "king", but it was definitely not the kind of interest that the other party was referring to.
The underground city of Amika is a gathering place for notorious criminals, murderers and slave traders.
This place is full of crime and chaos, and the common people on the ground are terrified of this world, with both disgust and fear. The powerful local nobles have a close relationship with the underground city, but rarely set foot here in person.
A male insect was walking alone in the passage of the underground city, attracting countless eyes.
Either it is stunning and surprising, or it is full of lust and malice that makes insects uncomfortable.
Musi had long been accustomed to similar gazes, but even though he was used to it, he emotionally did not like such looks.
It is normal to develop misogyny after being surrounded by this kind of females for a long time.
"Dear Lord Insect, I suggest you once again let some of your personal guards follow you." The terminal intelligent Xiaoi took a lot of effort to connect to Mu Xi's mental network and said solemnly: "Your servants need to be responsible for your safety."
Ever since the insect master encountered the first batch of residents in the underground city, the risk assessment of the small i terminal has continued to rise. Even if the internal thread for contacting the guards is always open in the background, it cannot feel at ease.
――It will take time for the Royal Guards to arrive.
"Safe?" The mental connection does not require speaking, the terminal can recognize what the connected person wants to express.
Mu Xi's consciousness was materialized into words in the background of Xiaoi.
"Female insects below level S cannot get close to me."
Mu Xi looked around nonchalantly, invisible spiritual threads floating around him, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I am safe."
The spiritual thread wandered and explored the way, and Musi moved through the messy spider-web-like buildings with such familiarity that he seemed like a resident who had lived underground since childhood.
But all the insects who have had the good fortune to see it know that such noble male insects cannot be raised in the underground city.
"Sir, do you need a female slave?"
While passing through a dimly lit passage, Musi was stopped by a slave trader.
