Ye Mu swore that his complaints about these behemoths, who looked like they could pound him into a meat paste with a single punch, were purely that.
Watching the mob insectoids, who were actively hostile towards him, Ye Mu slowly took half a step back.
He plastered a polite, fake smile on his face and asked softly, "Your friends are very special."
Luo Qi had already rushed over and hugged each of the mob insectoids before looking back at him, introducing, "This is Mo Yi, Mo Er... Mo Twenty-Seven."
Then he turned back to Ye Mu, introducing him to the mob insectoids, "This is my good friend from kindergarten, Ye Mu. Shall we play together?"
These mob insectoids weren't very intelligent, and sometimes Luo Qi needed to explain things clearly so they wouldn't do anything impulsive due to their slow processing.
Mo Yi stood behind Luo Qi, tilting his head towards Ye Mu and letting out a sharp "hiss." He suddenly extended an appendage towards Ye Mu.
Ye Mu looked at the massive appendage that almost poked his face. This, this... this is a threat, right?
I never expected that I, who spent all day guarding against that little bastard Mo Xuan snatching Luo Qi away, would actually be the villain who took away someone's good friend, qaq.
He carefully extended his hand to avoid the sharp spikes, pinched Mo Yi's appendage, and forced a smile as he greeted, "Hello."
Mo Yi hissed again. Ye Mu pretended to understand and walked towards Luo Qi.
There weren't many games that one person and a group of insects could play. After all, when a group of insects ran, the ground itself would tremble. And that was the least of it; if an insect's foot crushed Ye Mu, Luo Qi wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.
Luo Qi led Ye Mu and the mob insectoids into the forest. The environment here was excellent, and the area was vast. Luo Qi's legs were short, so he couldn't explore it all in a day.
The two cubs led the insectoids, walking slowly.
Whether it was Ye Mu's imagination or not, he always felt that these insectoids were subtly blocking him.
Being squeezed to the back once again, Ye Mu sighed. Forget it, what could he do, charge up and fight? He wasn't even enough for them to chew on.
After a "pleasant" day, Ye Mu and Luo Qi finally boarded the starship back to Bella Star.
Ye Mu was very happy. Compared to those intimidating insectoids, Mo Xuan, the clueless idiot, was much easier to deal with.
Luo Qi was also quite happy. There were still many good friends at kindergarten, hooray!
Cecy, however, was not so happy, as he had been invited by Ye Yun to a meeting on Earth, the human homeworld.
Regarding the sudden death of Federal Chairman Sabna, all suspicions towards the insect race were kept beneath the surface. However, the selection of the next Federal Chairman still required discussion among the major powers of the universe.
As for the insect race, normally, no one would have thought to notify Cecy about such matters, nor would anyone have been willing to invite them.
But because of Luo Qi attending kindergarten, many parents whose children also attended Bella Kindergarten had their impressions of the insect race subtly changed.
And then there was Ye Yun, the intermediary dedicated to fostering good relations between the insect race and humans. This relatively minor interstellar conference was thus extended to Cecy.
The location for the conference was naturally set on Earth.
Cecy initially didn't want to go, as he still had to take his child to kindergarten.
Ye Yun was helpless and persuaded Cecy earnestly through communication for a long time, finally saying, "But the young crown prince of the insect race is still attending kindergarten. If there can be a safer universe environment, wouldn't that be more reassuring?"
Cecy scoffed, "Can't the insect race protect my son?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly, "On the surface, the insect race is indeed incredibly powerful, but in the shadows, there are still many forces that are not pleased with the insect race. To put it bluntly, you wouldn't be unaware of the insect race's reputation in the galaxy, would you?
Their reputation is practically non-existent."
After saying this, Ye Yun inwardly praised himself. These words were a perfect blend of persuasion and pressure, making perfect sense. Who would dare say he lacked emotional intelligence now?
Cecy didn't think Ye Yun had any emotional intelligence, but he still agreed. When it involved Luo Qi, even if he scoffed inwardly, he would still consider it.
However, regarding this matter, while he could go, Cecy had one bottom line.
The interstellar conference, originally scheduled, had its time suddenly postponed by a few hours by the human race.
The leaders of several powers were puzzled but all agreed, assuming it was due to the hasty arrangements for the conference that the human race had postponed the time.
But only Ye Yun knew that the postponement was to wait for the Insect King, and the reason the Insect King was late was to take his child to kindergarten.
Ye Yun outwardly agreed but inwardly grumbled, "Fine, fine, the whole universe knows, your son is the most important."
Regardless of the twists and turns in between, Cecy eventually arrived on Earth via insect ship.
Earth was under strict security across the entire star system. Ye Yun, along with Lin Zhiyuan, personally welcomed Cecy.
In the conference room at this moment, the leaders of several factions had already arrived. Even though they had been informed before the meeting that the Insect King would be attending.
But even now, with Cecy en route, the leaders' hearts were still uneasy.
The leader of the Elf race, wearing a jade-green gemstone crown, spoke first, "I heard that the Insect King will be attending this meeting?"
The Mermaid Queen, gently playing with her seaweed-like blue hair, said, "Yes, I wonder what the people of Che Di Star are thinking. Are the insectoids really such easy-to-get-along-with beings?"
This statement seemed to open the floodgates for the high-ranking leaders, and they began to speak one after another.
Their words and tone were all about how the insect race was not a benevolent race, and even the death of the Federal Chairman this time was somehow related to the insect race.
Zhao Batian, the leader of the Star Pirate group, who had been sitting in the corner without speaking, suddenly interjected, "Are you all saying you've never seen the Insect King, yet you're making veiled insinuations here?"
Someone retorted, "As if you've seen him. How do you know what we're saying is wrong?"
Zhao Batian chuckled, his ruffian demeanor fully revealed, "I actually have seen him."
That person frowned, "You... why are you so rude? Don't you know where you are?"
Zhao Batian leaned back in his chair, "Yes, I'm used to being rude, but I know to say things to someone's face. How can you be so passive-aggressively sarcastic behind their backs?"
That person suddenly stood up, "How can you speak like that? The insect race is not a good thing!"
"Oh? I'd like to ask, how is my insect race not a good thing?"
