Chapter 43 was just one step away...
"what……?"
The submissive woman seemed to still be reeling from Qi Min's series of actions. When she heard Qi Min ask her a question, she looked up at Qi Min with a blank expression.
"Is there anything that can treat his head wound? It's a bit too big."
Qi Min patiently repeated it to the sub-female again.
"Ah...oh, yes! There's a treatment device..."
The submissive woman reacted, stammering as she turned and pushed open the door panel that had been blasted open with a large hole.
He took a treatment device out of the room, walked over to the unconscious Meng Jun, squatted down, and activated the treatment and repair function on his mangled head.
When Ya Ci looked at the wound on Meng Jun's head, there was no pity or fear in her eyes, only pleasure and a hint of hidden excitement.
The female suddenly realized that the male insects weren't as powerful or terrifying as they seemed. They realized that when they were hurt, they could bleed, feel pain, and even die.
Seeing that Ya Ci was treating Meng Jun, Qi Min didn't interfere any further and went back into the room to check on He Cheng's condition.
After confirming that He Cheng was alright, he also received a reply that He Cheng needed his help.
After asking He Cheng about the name and specific characteristics of his male lord in detail, Qi Min thought for a moment and realized that He Cheng's male lord seemed to be among the three or four male insects he had knocked unconscious earlier.
Perhaps due to his physical condition, he hasn't woken up since being knocked unconscious by Qi Min.
The treatment device in the female's hand is fully functional and very effective. After all, it is designed specifically for male insects, and the treatment effect is very significant.
The wound on Meng Jun's head had stopped bleeding, but it still looked extremely gruesome, perhaps because the injury was too severe.
The submissive woman stopped using the treatment device and, instead of returning to the sofa, stared intently at Meng Jun, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Her gaze flickered uncertainly, her expression obscure and difficult to discern. The submissive woman's fingers twitched slightly, as if she were struggling internally.
After a few seconds, a resolute and ruthless glint flashed in the submissive woman's eyes. Her gaze became resentful and determined, and she no longer hesitated.
The submissive reached for the broken shards of the wine bottle beside her, then turned her gaze to Meng Jun's limp neck, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
He gripped the sharp shard tightly in his hand, a hint of excitement already showing in his eyes, and raised his hand to stab it down forcefully!
The sharp shards were about to pierce Meng Jun's carotid artery.
Suddenly, a slender, fair hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped the submissive's wrist.
The sharp fragments remained on the surface of Meng Jun's neck skin, unable to penetrate any further.
The sub-female looked at the hand blocking her way, turned around angrily, and followed the arm to its owner.
Qi Min calmly looked at the enraged sub-female, then reached out with his other hand and pried open the sub-female's hand that was tightly gripping the shards.
The edges of the broken bottle were very sharp, and because the woman had gripped it tightly, its original crystalline color had turned into a bright and vivid red.
The submissive's palm was forcibly opened by Qi Min, revealing the marks inside, like rose petals, that had been torn and crushed.
The sap from the petals fell like droplets of water, and was quickly absorbed by the cotton carpet on the ground.
"Why! Why are you stopping me?!"
The submissive roared angrily at Qi Min, her eyes burning with rage.
"You can't kill him."
Qi Min ignored the submissive's roar, his expression calm, and spoke in a light tone.
"Ha, I thought... I thought you would be different. Well, you are a male too, you and they are all males! You are all the same!"
Cruel, indifferent, cold-blooded! They only care about rules that benefit them, the males!
The submissive's voice was filled with anger and resentment. His body trembled violently with excitement, and his other clenched fist turned slightly white.
Originally, because of Qi Min's attitude towards He Cheng and his actions towards the male insects, he still held a sliver of hope that Qi Min was different from the other male insects.
However, reality was like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the flame of hope in his heart.
The submissive glared fiercely at Qi Min, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.
The sub-female was well aware of what her intention to kill the male meant.
He violated not only the protection rules for male insects, but also the rules for female insects, as well as other protection regulations.
After that, he will face the highest trial of the Interstellar Court, and the best outcome would be exile to the Fallen Star.
But he was unwilling to accept it! If he had successfully killed one male insect, it would have been fine.
But just when he was about to succeed, Qi Min suddenly appeared and stopped him, which made him furious!
It was so close, just a tiny bit more...
He could finally kill a vile male insect with his own hands, at least putting an end to all the pain and humiliation he had suffered here...
But why...
Why is fate always so unfair?!
He hated it all—he hated these male insects, he hated all the rules that favored them! He hated Qi Min's obstruction even more…
This hatred surged and churned in the female's heart like a raging tide, almost overwhelming her reason.
The submissive's hand, which Qi Min hadn't caught, clenched into a fist, her nails digging deep into her palm.
He felt no pain whatsoever; the hatred in his heart had rendered him oblivious to even the slightest external suffering.
A painful sob escaped from the female's throat as the pain and humiliation she had suffered kept replaying in her mind.
The submissive's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, tears welling up in her eyes, yet stubbornly refusing to fall...
Qi Min simply stood aside, quietly watching the pain slowly surface on the submissive woman's face.
Qi Min showed no intention of comforting or explaining. After a while, the submissive gradually calmed down.
He loosened his clenched fists, lowered his head and remained motionless, giving off an air of utter despair and resignation to Qi Min's fate.
With a calm expression, Qi Min picked up the treatment device placed to the side and, mimicking the female's injured hand, pressed the corresponding switch to begin the repair treatment.
Qi Min's movements were steady, and there was not much emotion in his eyes. He simply focused on repairing and treating the sub-female's palm.
Soon, only a few pink marks remained on the female's palm. If it weren't for the traces of red blood still remaining on them, it would be almost impossible to tell that she had just been injured.
The submissive stared blankly at her healed hand, her heart filled with doubt and confusion about Qi Min.
He really didn't understand Qi Min's behavior. Why had he just stopped him from taking revenge on the male insect, but now he was helping him heal?
The submissive frowned, her gaze shifting between her own hand and Qi Min's face, trying to find the answer.
