Miao Miao’s face instantly flushed red. She had read so many books that she wasn’t a naive girl who understood nothing. However, since she hadn’t experienced it herself, in matters of love between men and women, Miao Miao was still a complete novice.

Du Xixi tilted her head and suddenly became interested in a large carved pillar in front of her, even though she had seen it every day and had grown tired of it. But she still started to "study" it carefully and occasionally marveled inwardly.

As for whether Du Xixi was marveling at how exquisite the carvings on the pillar were, or at how the young couple over there was so inexperienced, only she herself knew.

Knowing that Chen Yin’s fertility functions were likely to recover, Du Xixi felt a weight lifted off her heart. But just a few days after that relief, Ke Lian brought more good news—Ke Lian led the army and successfully counterattacked the Insect Clan’s army. Moreover, it seemed that Ke Lian had found the weaknesses of different species of the Insect Clan and defeated them by breaking through these weaknesses one by one!

This was certainly something worth celebrating across All-Star. Du Xixi didn’t know how grand the celebrations were in other empires, she only knew that on the day Ke Lian and the others returned triumphantly, she wore luxurious clothing and stood atop the walls of the Imperial Palace with Chen Yin, overlooking the people below. Not a single person wasn’t smiling, not a single one was unhappy.

Her three children, led by Ke Xing, were cheering below with Miao Miao, while other important courtiers, including the Minister of the Military, stood beside her and Chen Yin.

"With this, the history of our interstellar people being harmed by the Insect Clan is finally going to change." The Minister of the Military closed his eyes thoughtfully, memories of battling the Insect Clan on the battlefield in his youth flashing through his mind. Back then, he thought the Insect Clan was too persistent. Killing one wave would bring another. With such formidable reproductive capabilities, he feared he would never see the day humans triumphed.

But the day he hoped for finally arrived. He had seen videos of Ke Lian and others fighting; they didn’t need several people to attack a single powerful Insect. As long as they attacked the Insect Clan’s weak spots while protecting themselves, one strike could defeat them.

Effortlessly, the Insect Clan was defeated...

"It’s like a dream," murmured the Minister of the Military. Hearing this, Chen Yin, who was still relatively young, smiled warmly. Recently his mood had been exceptionally good, and he looked flushed with a radiant spirit.

Chen Yin turned his head to the Minister of the Military and said softly, "Minister’s feelings echo mine, but this is indeed the reality. Our Blue Star Empire, and indeed All-Star, has ushered in a brand-new future. As for the Insect Clan... work hard, for we will soon be above them!"

Such resolute words from Chen Yin, Your Majesty, naturally inspired immense enthusiasm. Du Xixi placed her hands on the wall in front of her, feeling the coolness, but her heart burned with passion.

She was very happy too.

After descending from the city walls, Du Xixi and the others followed Chen Yin into the Imperial Palace. Today, Chen Yin held a grand banquet specifically to entertain the officers who fought on the front lines. The number of soldiers was too large, so they were all arranged to celebrate independently at the Military Department.

Thanks to Du Xixi, the canteen at the Military Department had greatly improved, at least reaching a level of acceptable food, allowing the soldiers to eat their fill and truly enjoy themselves, which was a celebration for them.

But the banquet wouldn’t start for a while. After Du Xixi reunited with Ke Lian, she went straight to find Chen Yin. Regarding this frontline battle, there might be some things Ke Lian had to report to Chen Yin.

"Have you all arrived?" Chen Yin had changed into lighter attire, sitting in the palace with a gentle expression. Especially after Rob closed the palace door, Chen Yin visibly relaxed a bit, losing some of the formal demeanor he displayed outside. "Although I welcome more events like this, having to stand outside for so long each time is quite exhausting."

Du Xixi chuckled softly. She was still wearing her deep purple luxurious dress, and her long hair, which had grown significantly, was loosely tied up with heavy and expensive jewelry. If she didn’t have to attend the banquet later, she would’ve liked to be as relaxed as Chen Yin.

Men’s formal attire is always simpler than women’s.

Du Xixi felt envious.

"Regarding this defeat of the Insect Clan, I have summarized it into three main points." Ke Lian handed over the documents she had organized to Chen Yin and, once he opened them, began to explain carefully, "The weaknesses of the Insect Clan, as I had previously observed, are as follows: Humming Beast is weak at the neck and back, Huohuo Beast at the knees, and Long-nosed Beast at..."

Du Xixi wasn’t paying too much attention since she didn’t head to the frontline herself. Living safely on the main star of the Blue Star Empire, the only way to encounter the Insect Clan in her lifetime might be through the corpses sent over after their death, used for making gourmet dishes.

It’s enough for her to know a bit, but Chen Yin listened attentively. Although he wouldn’t personally go to the battlefield to kill the Insect Clan, as Your Majesty, he needed to be informed about significant matters like these to avoid being tongue-tied in future discussions.
