Military females are generally recognized for their ability to endure pain, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the abuse of their male masters after marriage. Being strong and durable is one of their few advantages in the eyes of male insects.
Gain was lying on the bed, watching Han Yan insert a thin silver needle into his right leg. His muscles tensed up for a moment, but then he forced himself to relax. This sharp pain that penetrated deep into his tendons was like a slow slicing, much more unbearable than a gunshot or knife wound.
He clenched his fingertips silently, cold sweat wet his forehead, and in a trance he thought of the battlefield in the distance and the time when he was injured.
At that time, Gain was ordered to lead a team to Laso Star to eliminate the strange beasts. Everything was going smoothly, but they didn't expect that the information from the front was wrong. There was a thousand-year-old sand spider king hidden in the beast's nest. The king was very powerful and brutal. They were almost wiped out in the fight.
Gain and his team stayed behind to cover the rear, but his right leg was accidentally cut by the sickle evolved from the Chimu Sand Spider King. If it weren't for the high level of protection of the S-class king insect, that leg would have been broken long ago.
Although they narrowly escaped death and were rushed to the hospital for treatment, most of the bones in their legs were broken. In addition, the toxins from the sand spider had invaded their legs. The doctor tried his best to suture the leg, but it could only barely restore it to its current state.
After all, the tendons were injured...
Han Yan inserted the silver needles one by one, and found that the tendons and veins in Gain's leg were not in their original positions. He had no idea how he had been able to stand and walk all these years. If someone else had the same injury, he would probably be paralyzed in a wheelchair now.
Most of the needle curtain on Han Yan's knees was empty, replaced by dense silver needles on Gain's legs. Seeing the female insect lying obediently on the bed, motionless, he took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, paused on his fingertips for a moment, and finally reached out to wipe away the cold sweat on the other's forehead.
Han Yan's face rarely showed any expression, so it was difficult for others to see what he was thinking. His gray-blue eyes behind his glasses stared at Jia Yin and he made a decision directly: "From now on, you should do the acupuncture for one hour every day."
The male insects were not as tough as the female insects. When Sander walked out of the interrogation room, he regretted telling the truth. He struggled hard and kept shouting, "Damn it! Where do you want to take me? I'm a male insect. If I lose even a hair, you'll never have a good life!"
Han Yan then remembered that Jia Yin would be leaving soon. He sat on the bed and lit a cigarette, frowning unconsciously: "When will you be back?"
The guide said, "It is said that a conflict over power broke out among those interstellar pirates some time ago, and Clet was killed as a result. Currently, the Clet Alliance has a new leader, who is said to be quite difficult to deal with."
The guide said, "After Major General Brand led his team into Horsburgh territory, their operations were disrupted everywhere and they almost had a conflict with the northern Zerg. They are currently hiding in the border area, waiting for those pirates to show up and capture them in one fell swoop."
Han Yan is a businessman. He likes precise numbers and doesn't like ignorant rhetoric: "How many days?"
The narrator projected a picture of post-war ruins on the big screen and said to the generals sitting around the conference table, "Major General Brand sent a message from the front yesterday. They found traces of the Clet Alliance near the Laguna Coast and led a team to pursue them. However, because they accidentally stepped into the northern Zerg territory, they interfered and only captured a few small leaders of the alliance. The rest of the pirate members are still at large."
Gain suddenly asked, "You are still single, right?"
Jia Yin discovered that Han Yan would smoke whenever he was in a bad mood. This was a little habit of his that was not easy to detect. "Very quickly."
Han Yan quietly finished smoking a cigarette, and finally took the needle off Gain's leg at the right time. He stood up and walked to the drawer, and was about to put the needle curtain in, but Gain suddenly asked, "Will you miss me after I leave?"
Han Yan paused, then returned to normal. He closed the drawer and said calmly, "You'll know after you leave."
In Sander's eyes, the female insect was still as beautiful and silent as she was when she was a child, but since she grew up with a limp, something seemed to have changed.
Joseph asked tentatively, "Major General, what kind of friend is this?"
That is, maybe you would think
Hearing this, Jia Yin suddenly smiled for some reason. He sat up from the bed, looked at Han Yan seriously, and whispered word by word: "But I haven't left yet, and I've already started to miss you..."
Jia Yin himself was not too sure: "Maybe half a month, maybe a month, I will come back as soon as possible."
Han Yan thought, isn't "reserved" a teaching item for noble female insects? Why can't Gain show any of that? He leaned against the desk, not looking at Gain, but tilting his head to look at the still bright sun outside. A deep voice rang in the air, with a bit of warmth from the heating:
"Go early, come back early."
Gain thought it was just an illusion and shook his head without thinking too much. He was about to go back to the office, but when he passed through the corridor of the military department, he suddenly saw a male insect being escorted out of the interrogation room. It was Sander Durant.
Joseph's eyes lit up when he heard this, because he suddenly remembered that Gain seemed to have said last time that he would introduce a male insect to him: "Yes, Major General!" Gain lowered his head and looked at the time: "Are you free tonight? I'll introduce a friend to have dinner with you."
He stared at Gain blankly, forgetting to struggle for a moment.
The Durant family had long lost the protection of the Insect Emperor. Going against Han Yan at this time was tantamount to walking into a gun. After obtaining the approval of the Insect Emperor, the military directly brought their entire family to the interrogation room for investigation.
Han Yan's answer consisted of only these four words, but it was already precious.
Gain folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and watched Sander being dragged awkwardly by the soldiers. His silver hair hid the emotions in his eyes, and only the bright red teardrop mole under his eyes could be seen, which contrasted sharply with his pale skin color.
Jia Yin did not refute. He lay on the pillow, tilted his head slightly and looked at Han Yan. His face was pale, but the concentration and fascination in his eyes had not disappeared at all: "But I will lead the army to the jungle to carry out a mission next week."
Sander struggled even harder and roared angrily, "You forced me to do that on purpose! You tried to trick me into saying something! Those confessions have no legal effect!"
Now it was almost time to get off work, and there was only one female insect left in the office printing documents. After finishing his things, Gain walked over and tapped the table to attract attention: "Joseph."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him. His voice suddenly stopped and his pupils shrank in shock for a moment: "Gain?!"
One of the generals frowned and said, "It's those unruly barbarians from the north again. Your Majesty should really send troops to attack and reclaim their territory!"
At the beginning, Gain didn't want to let go of any of the bugs involved in the assassination, but the Clet Alliance had been roaming around for many years and it was obviously not that easy to catch them. The efficiency of the military was much lower than he imagined.
Han Yan slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke, narrowed his eyes, and finally said nothing. Gain's departure would not affect his business, nor would it affect his income and money. Han Yan seemed to have no reason to stop or retain him.
It stands to reason that the noble male insect would never appear in such a place, but in order to track down the murderer behind the scenes, Jia Yin pried open the mouth of the female insect in the shortest time possible. The other party finally confessed that it was under the instructions of Sander Durant that she paid someone to kill Han Yan.
The attack on a male insect was a big deal, not to mention that the notorious Interstellar Pirate Alliance was involved behind the scenes. For a time, not only the military was investigating the matter, but even the royal family was paying close attention to it.
Gain watched the scene without any intention of helping. It seemed that he just wanted to see how the murderer would get his retribution. He stopped to watch, and after Sander was taken away, he turned around and went back to the office.
He remembered that the other person's name should be this.
Gain was also at the table. He looked up at the battle record on the big screen and said, "This group of interstellar pirates deliberately ran to the border between the west and the north. We have always been at odds with Horsburgh. Phaeth will definitely intervene. Brand was careless this time."
On this day, Major General Brand, who was sent to track down the space pirates, happened to pass back intelligence from the front, and the top military officials specially convened a meeting.
Joseph stood up subconsciously after hearing this: "Major General, do you have any instructions?"
It sounds like a scam.
Gain didn't think much about it. He rubbed his temple with his fingertips, closed his eyes and frowned, and said, "Let Major General Brand continue the pursuit and make sure to capture them in one fell swoop. All the pirates on the run are wanted on the Starnet, and report any news immediately."
Gain suddenly asked: "Where is their leader Clete?"
The female soldier in charge of escorting the man was used to this kind of scene. She did not show any mercy to Sander's anger and answered every question: "Sir, you just confessed your crime in the interrogation room. You may have to stay in prison for a while until the court's verdict comes out."
Gain is not good at saying sweet words, he speaks the truth.
All the generals present knew that Han Yan was Gain's lord, and with his status as a prince, they all kept silent. After the meeting, Gain limped out of the room. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the pain when he walked seemed to be lighter than before, but it was too subtle to be sure.
Gain paused: "... My brother."
To be precise, he should be the younger brother of his lord, but if we round him off, he can still be considered his younger brother.
Blind dates are very common in Salilan Law. Even if you don't want to go on a blind date, the Empire will arrange one for you when you reach the age. Joseph is a rookie who has just joined the Intelligence Department. He is steady and down-to-earth. After looking around, Gain found that he and Johnny are more compatible. It's better to meet today than to wait for a day.
The place for dinner was booked at the restaurant downstairs of the military headquarters. As soon as Johnny received the news from Gain, he rushed over immediately. He was wearing a light-colored suit, and it was obvious that he had dressed up carefully, and he looked quite presentable.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Johnny was as conceited as Ademon. He stood in front of Gain and showed off his newly customized clothes, trying to get some compliments from him.
However, Gain just silently sighed at Johnny's change. Not long ago, he didn't even have money to order takeout, but now he can support himself in the blink of an eye: "Not bad."
He gestured to Johnny inside the restaurant and said, "Joseph is sitting at the window at the bar. You can see him when you enter."
Johnny looked inside through the glass door and saw a young female insect in military uniform sitting by the window. "What are you going to do? Go home directly?"
Gain nodded. He would set out with the army to carry out a mission in the jungle tomorrow, so he would have to pack his luggage when he returned today.
Johnny winked at him jokingly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, my eldest brother is nearby discussing business, don't rush back, maybe you can run into him if you wait a little longer."
He left his words half-sentenced, without explaining himself, and after finishing his words he straightened his tie and went straight into the restaurant to meet Joseph.
When Jia Yin heard Johnny's words, he hesitated for a moment. He opened the terminal and sent a message to Han Yan, asking where he was and whether he needed a pick-up after get off work. He got an unexpected answer:
[Military Department.]
Han Yan was discussing business at the military headquarters today. He had discovered the last time he went to the laboratory that there were many mutant specimens captured from the dense forests of Solitia, whether it was fire ants or long-horned beasts, or three-headed white crows or strange birds with human faces, they basically lost their usefulness after being studied and were all thrown on the shelves to gather dust.
Now the Soridian jungle is still a forbidden area, but the Star Network people are still very enthusiastic about exploring it. Han Yan keenly sensed the business opportunity and was interested in setting up a jungle exhibition hall. Today he went to the military to discuss cooperation and just finalized the contract.
After all, the empire's annual military expenditure is a staggering figure. Simply by providing samples from the laboratory for exhibition, one can obtain additional income. Why not do it
"It's a pleasure to work with you, sir."
The person in charge of negotiating this matter with Han Yan was the Minister of Propaganda. He stood up and shook hands with Han Yan, smiling from ear to ear: "The idea of the jungle exhibition hall you proposed is really great. We have been studying the Solitia jungle for many years. The research laboratory has tens of thousands of mutant specimens and many plant samples. If the exhibition hall is successfully established, we will definitely do our best to support it."
Han Yan nodded slightly when he heard this: "Thank you for your support. I will let you know as soon as the exhibition hall is completed."
After they finished talking, they exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving the meeting room. When Han Yan walked out of the military headquarters, the terminal suddenly vibrated slightly. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was a message from Gain, asking where he was.
Han Yan replied with two words: [Military.]
It was almost time to get off work, and Han Yan suddenly remembered something and sent another message to Jia Yin: [What time do you get off work? ]
Three seconds later, the female insect sent a location coordinate: [I'm in a nearby restaurant. ]
Han Yan: [Wait for me where you are. ]
Gain was originally sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant, chatting with Han Yan while observing Johnny's blind date from a distance. When he saw the message, he paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. Not long after, he saw a familiar aircraft landing on the side of the road.
The porthole slowly lowered, revealing a man with blue hair, blue eyes and gold-rimmed glasses. It was Han Yan. He saw that there was a restaurant behind Gain and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Gain shook his head and pointed behind him: "Johnny is having a blind date in there."
Han Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Blind date?" He remembered that Johnny had a day off today and did not go to work. He thought that he was resting at home, but he actually came here for a blind date
Gain leaned over the porthole and explained, "You asked me if I knew any single female insects. I happened to find one suitable, so I introduced her to Johnny."
Han Yan smiled when he heard this, but not because Johnny was going on a blind date, but because he saw a familiar aircraft appear not far ahead. He raised his chin slightly and motioned for Gain to look over: "Guess who's sitting inside?"
Upon hearing this, Gain looked subconsciously, and saw that a white aircraft had appeared in front of him at some point. There was a royal totem on the flight license plate at the tail, which looked very similar to the one that Prince Pape often took.
Jia Yin paused and said, "Is he my cousin?"
Han Yan was discussing the exhibition hall business with the military today, and specifically asked Prince Pape to help with the connection. He originally thought that the other party had left a long time ago, but it turned out that he had not left yet, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
Han Yan said wickedly: "Why don't you ask him why he is here?"
He was teasing Gain on purpose. Johnny was on a blind date inside, and Prince Pape showed up right after him. It was clearly a Shura scene. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he approached him at this time
However, just as Han Yan finished speaking, he saw Jia Yin actually walked over, and the curve of his lips couldn't help but pause slightly: "..."
So stupid.
Han Yan boasted of being smart, but he never expected that his family members in this life were all stupid. Seeing this, he opened the hatch, stepped off the aircraft, and walked straight over. At that time, Gain was standing on the side of the road, and he didn't know what he said to Prince Pape through the porthole. Not long after, the other party started the aircraft and left here.
Han Yan paused when he saw this, and subconsciously looked at Jia Yin: "What did you say?"
Gain shook his head slightly, looking a little confused. "I asked my cousin why he was here, and he asked me what Johnny was doing in the restaurant."
Han Yan hummed: "Then what?"
Gain said, "I said Johnny was on a blind date, and my cousin left."
Han Yan: “…”
The air was silent for a moment, and Han Yan finally chuckled. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Gain's stupidity or not. He thought, wasn't this sentence a stab in Prince Pape's lungs
Han Yan asked with a half-smile, "Didn't you tell him that you were the one who introduced Johnny to his blind date?"
Gain shook his head: "I haven't had time to say it yet."
Han Yan thought it was a good thing he didn't say anything, otherwise he would get beaten. He took Gain's hand and brought him back to the aircraft. After they sat down inside, he said, "Don't worry about their affairs anymore. Let them solve it themselves."
Jia Yin always listened to him, and nodded: "I'll listen to you."
He was so good and obedient, and this appearance always touched people's soft spot. Han Yan quietly reached out and took him into his arms to sit. He didn't know what he was thinking behind the lens, and asked casually, "Are you going to the jungle with the troops tomorrow?"
Jia Yin lay quietly in his arms: "We will leave at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
Han Yan said nothing. He didn't know what to say. Merchants value profit over separation. This kind of thing didn't seem to be something he should care about.
They were silent all the way home.
Before going to bed at night, Gain opened the suitcase and simply packed some clothes in it. The things that the female soldier needed on the battlefield were actually very few, weapons and food, these two were enough, so the half-empty suitcase of the female insect looked a little shabby.
Han Yan sat behind the desk, quietly watching Gain's actions. The warm yellow desk lamp fell on his gentle face, and he inexplicably tasted a bit of the gentle taste of jade. He noticed that Gain folded a white shirt inside, the style was familiar, as if it was the one he often wore. He slowly closed his eyes and frowned unconsciously.
Han Yan suddenly realized that he didn't like the word "goodbye".
He opened the drawer and took out a needle bag. He stood up and walked to the suitcase and threw the needle bag in directly: "Take this with you."
Gain looked at him confused and asked, "What are you bringing this for?"
Han Yan said: "I learn to tie it every day."
Gain realized belatedly that Han Yan was referring to leg piercing. Although he didn't understand why the male insect was so obsessed with this matter, he still carefully put away the needle bag and stuffed it into the compartment of the suitcase.
Han Yan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this. He had been waiting for Gain to ask him how to insert these needles, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't ask anything and just put the things away. Could it be that Gain thought that it was enough to just insert these needles into the legs
Han Yan thought about this, lowered his eyes and looked at Jia Yin and asked: "Do you know how to pierce it?"
Gain hesitated and shook his head, then nodded: "I know."
Han Yan naturally didn't believe him: "Come here, I'll teach you."
Han Yan took a waterproof red pen from the drawer and sat down on the edge of the bed. Seeing this, Gain understood everything. He lowered his head to take off his military pants, then quietly got on the bed and climbed into Han Yan's arms in a warm yellow light.
Han Yan ignored the hideous scar on Gain's right leg, and slowly stroked upwards along the thin ankle of the female insect, lightly scratching on it with a red pen to mark the important acupuncture points.
The cold tip of the pen scratched his skin, causing a tingling sensation. Jia Yin couldn't help but flinch, but was held down by Han Yan. He heard the other person's deep voice in his ears: "Don't move."
Gain calmed down again: "Master Xiong, are you treating my leg?"
Han Yan said, "No."
He was not sure that he could be cured, so there was no need to give Gain that kind of hope, nor did he want to explain anything.
The ink of this red pen is very special, usually used to sign official documents, and it will not disappear when exposed to water. After Han Yan marked the acupuncture points on Jia Yin's legs, he felt that the red dots were not obvious enough, so he lightly stroked the tip of the pen and drew a few faint flowers on it.
Gain's skin is always pale, as is his legs. The red ink against his fair skin gives him an inexplicable allure, and the hideous scar seems to have become a branch winding up.
Han Yan used the tip of the pen to touch the center of the pistil: "Use the needle to prick here, with the same force as usual."
Jia Yin is a military female, and her ability to control strength is not inferior to Han Yan. She nodded when she heard this: "I understand, Lord."
Han Yan saw Jia Yin's body trembling, and knew that this sensitive female insect must have been tickled again. He lightly stroked Jia Yin's collar with his fingertips, and then rested his palm on her chest, and then did not move.
Behind the warm skin is a violently beating heart.
Bang, bang, bang—
Han Yan remembered that Jia Yin had said that this heart belonged to him. He held the female insect's palm and then slowly wrote two words on it with a pen:
Korean Banquet.
In his previous life, Han Yan was thrown at the entrance of the village by his parents shortly after he was born. These two words were embroidered inside his swaddling clothes. Later, when he was adopted by his great-grandfather, he was given this name, and it has not been changed for many years.
Many things of his had disappeared in the car accident, including his body and wealth, except for his name, which was the only thing he brought from the earth.
The Zerg's writing is similar to that of Earth but also different.
Gain stared at the two words in his palm. He felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize them. He asked in confusion, "What do these two words mean?"
Han Yan said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
Jia Yin had no choice but to give up. Seeing that Han Yan had finished writing and drawing, he endured the shame and sat face to face in the male insect's arms. Then he slowly undressed and whispered in Han Yan's ear: "My Lord, please enjoy..."
This is what every female insect in Saliland Law says when asking for sex.
Han Yan actually had no intention of doing it, after all, the female insect had to carry out a mission tomorrow, so he asked in an ambiguous tone, "Do you want it?"
Gain said, "Just once, okay?"
He really couldn't imagine any other way to be more intimate with the male insect.
Han Yan thought it was okay for once, so he didn't refuse. He raised his hand to take off his glasses and obeyed Gain's wishes. After all, they would be separated for a long time.
Han Yan was very gentle this time.
Gain even had the leisure to think about other things. He recalled that when he walked to the aircraft today, he saw Prince Pape sitting inside with a gloomy face. In his memory, this cousin was always smiling, calm and steady, and rarely appeared in such an expression.
No, not rarely, but never.
Gain leaned over through the window and called him, "Uncle."
Prince Bape obviously didn't expect Gain to appear here, and was obviously stunned for a moment: "Gain, why are you here?"
Gain answered irrelevantly: "Johnny is having a blind date inside."
Prince Pape's face froze when he heard this, and he couldn't even force a fake smile.
Seeing this, Gain tilted his head slightly. He found it really interesting. The female insects of the Gunhedra family fell one after another, first Justu, then himself, and now it was the turn of this cousin.
Jia Yin smiled and whispered, "You seem to have forgotten the teachings of your ancestors."
There is a saying in Sallyland Law:
The blood of the Gunhedra family is born to be noble. Warriors fight for them, politicians give them advice, and merchants pile up gold and silver treasures under the throne. Everything in the world is at their fingertips.
There's nothing they never couldn't get.
They will definitely get what they want.
To fight, to plunder, to possess,
This is a gift from the insect god.
This uncle has experienced the struggles and infighting of the royal family and has been in the business world for many years. He has always been very capable. Why is he standing still and not fighting or competing at this time
Prince Pape understood Gain's meaning, looked at him deeply, and finally said nothing. He drove the aircraft away with a serious expression.
