CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: LU SHINIAN’S LITTLE SCHEMES

Office of the Commander, Third Legion.

Qian Duoduo saluted with precision, his body tense, and expression serious.

"Report to the Commander! There’s a situation with the Insect Race to report!"

Lu Shinian looked up, his voice carrying a cold edge, "Speak."

Qian Duoduo presented a USB drive with both hands, "Commander, this USB drive contains research data on the Insect Race from the past few years."

Lu Shinian picked up the USB drive, fiddled with it a bit before inserting it into the Light Brain.

A light screen popped up mid-air, and Lu Shinian skimmed through it quickly.

His gaze finally landed on the entry for [Illusion Insect], his eyes narrowing slightly.

There was a sentence written under Illusion Insect: [Research shows a 10% probability for high Spiritual Power Levels to exhibit Ancestral Stage traits.]

Lu Shinian suddenly recalled when he used his alt account to enter a dungeon with his Ruan Ruan where Illusion Insects were present.

It was then that he inexplicably exhibited Ancestral traits, leading to Ruan Ruan discovering his true identity.

Otherwise, who knows, Ruan Ruan might not have realized until now that "Little Sweet" was him.

He might have been able to observe more of Ruan Ruan’s different facets, and also find out when exactly she met Second Master and Qian Duoduo.

It’s all the Illusion Insect’s fault.

Qian Duoduo noticed the Commander’s increasingly grim expression, his heart tightened, could there be a very dangerous Insect Race?

But he had just read the document himself, and although some Insect Race creatures could be dangerous to ordinary people, like the Ji Ji Insect, which could only be killed with spiritual power due to its tough skin, for the Commander, these insect problems could be resolved with a mere thought.

Had he overlooked something?

Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but begin to doubt himself, considering whether he should spend more time researching his new weapon.

"Vice Wang." Lu Shinian ordered in the office, "Issue a directive for a comprehensive investigation of Illusion Insects across major planets."

"Yes!" Vice Wang saluted and promptly complied.

At this point, Qian Duoduo came to his senses, he straightened his body and responded quickly: "Yes! Following the Commander’s orders!"

"We will conduct a thorough investigation of Illusion Insects!"

Wait, Illusion Insects? Shouldn’t it be Ji Ji Insects?

What’s the necessity of thoroughly investigating Illusion Insects? The illusions created by Illusion Insects can be easily distinguished by even five-year-old children, let alone adults.

Nowadays, some amusement parks specifically raise Illusion Insects to create illusions for children to play in, to attract visitors.

This time, they actually want a thorough investigation?

Qian Duoduo was puzzled inside but didn’t dare ask out loud.

Since it’s the Commander’s order, it must be executed!

Lu Shinian took out the USB drive and tossed it back to Qian Duoduo, "Take this and study it well."

"Yes!" Qian Duoduo became even more apprehensive, feeling like he was missing some important information.

When he got back, he must thoroughly digest all the information inside!

Lu Shinian glanced at the time, five o’clock, one more hour until he could get off work and see Ruan Ruan.

He lowered his gaze, a hint of blood-red flashing through his dark pupils, deep and unfathomable, with a hidden danger.

In the evening, after returning home, Lu Shinian didn’t even eat, just sat on the sofa in the living room, staring intently at Su Ruan.

Su Ruan had a Nutritional Supplement in her mouth, sipping it slowly. Perhaps sensing Lu Shinian’s burning gaze, she turned and looked at him.

After hesitating for two seconds, she tentatively asked, "Do you want some too?"

Lu Shinian shook his head, then nodded.

Su Ruan: ???

"You can’t drink it." Su Ruan said directly, "Your Spiritual Sea isn’t well to begin with, and if you drink the Nutritional Supplement, the Ancestral Stage symptoms will worsen."

"I’ll make you some noodles to eat."

As she spoke, she finished the Nutritional Supplement in one gulp and stood up, ready to head to the kitchen.

Just as she stood up, Lu Shinian grabbed her wrist.

"Ruan Ruan." Lu Shinian’s voice was low, looking up at her, "I’m not hungry."

Lu Shinian sat down, frowning slightly, "Is it something at work?"

"Has the Military Department been unsettled lately?"

She rarely asked about affairs at the Military Department; after all, she wasn’t part of the legion, just a family member, the more she knew, the more dangerous it was.

"Peaceful." Lu Shinian moved closer to Su Ruan, wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, "They wouldn’t dare provoke me."

"Then is it?" Su Ruan frowned tighter, "Is it the Insect Race?"

Could it be that her rebirth caused the Insect Race to invade early?

Her heart tightened slightly, her body tensing up.

Lu Shinian stroked her back, whispering, "No, the Insect Race is very peaceful."

He had already killed the Insect Queen, and those low-level Insect Clan that only knew to obey the Insect Queen were insignificant.

Both of Su Ruan’s guesses were negated by Lu Shinian, making her even more confused.

"Then is it because of?"

She stared at him, with a hint of curiosity, jokingly saying, "Could it be because of me?"

"Hmm." Lu Shinian responded lowly.

Su Ruan: ...

Seeing Su Ruan had guessed to this point, Lu Shinian’s lashes trembled, his large hand tightly clasping her waist so she couldn’t escape, while whispering, "Ruan Ruan, when did you get so familiar with Qian Duoduo? Hmm?"

"I went to your place a few times before, wandered over to the Logistics Department, Qian Duoduo is quite enthusiastic, so we chatted a few times."

Su Ruan poked at Lu Shinian’s chest, softly saying, "Are you jealous?"

"Did you ask Doctor Lin about the Ancestral Stage today? Is it related to emotions?"

Lu Shinian grabbed Su Ruan’s restless hand, a dark light glinting in his eyes, he replied, "It is related."

He lowered his head, almost pressing against Su Ruan’s ear, "Ruan Ruan, I’m jealous."

The warm breath brushed against Su Ruan’s earlobe, sending a slight tingle down her spine, a light blush tinting her earlobes.

She raised her little face, looking at Lu Shinian, the slightly raised corners of her eyes seemed inherently seductive.

Lu Shinian’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, feeling a bit hot, he single-handedly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a sexy Adam’s apple.

"Doctor Lin said that extreme emotions may lead to frequent Ancestral Stages."

He slowly lowered his hand, resting it on one side, leaning back on the sofa, hiding all his sharpness, his posture lazy, his coldness subdued, a layer of wickedness oppressed deep within his calm eyes, shedding none of the typically cold and aloof demeanor.

It must be said, Lu Shinian is worthy of being the male idol of many interstellar girls; this charm, not knowing how many hearts it has stolen.

The bobbing Adam’s apple, the hint of collarbone peeking, and the natural mix of abstinence and laziness, made Su Ruan swallow her saliva without any self-control.

Lu Shinian took in all of Su Ruan’s responses, the corners of his mouth curving slightly before quickly pressing down, his tone carried a hint of pleading.

"So, Ruan Ruan don’t..." get involved with other men.

The words were interrupted by Su Ruan before he could finish.
