Kāng nà was stunned.

Why would the Insect Emperor’s eldest son want to connect with him on a live stream?

But Kāng nà vaguely realized that this was his only chance to keep his streaming job. So he quickly sat up straight and said earnestly, “Hello, Your Highness. How can I help you?”

The Crown Prince flipped the camera, and on the screen appeared a huge bobcat, curled up in a ball, looking pitiful with its head drooping.

[Wow, can a Maine Coon grow that big?]
[Can we have a little culture here? That’s a bobcat lynx.]
[Lynx? Isn’t that the wolf-killing machine? That’s so cool!]

“My cat, Lulu, hasn’t eaten anything for five days. I took her to the vet, and all the blood tests and X-rays came back normal, but she just won’t eat. She’s lost a lot of weight, and I don’t know what to do, so I came to you for help.”

[Your Highness, you’re confused.]
[This is just a scam; if there’s a problem, you should go to a pet hospital.]
[Yeah, the trending topic has already confirmed it. Your Highness, please don’t believe this!]

Kāng nà didn’t have time to care about the haters in the comments. He focused on the listless lynx: “Your Highness, can you try feeding her now? I want to see her reaction.”

“Okay.” The Crown Prince took a bowl of beef and placed it next to the lynx, rubbing the big cat’s head. “Good girl, it’s time to eat.”

The bobcat drooped its eyelids, glanced at the beef in the bowl, then immediately curled up again, letting out a couple of whiny sounds.

“Why can Tom eat tender, delicious meat while I can only have regular meat? The litter box cleaner is so biased!”

“Did you see that? No matter how you feed her, she just won’t eat.” The Crown Prince rubbed his temples anxiously. “Could it be some rare disease?”

“A pet’s lack of appetite and lethargy isn’t always due to physical reasons; it could also be related to their mood.” Kāng nà smiled confidently. “Do you have another pet named Tom?”

“Exactly! The white tiger next door is named Tom. They grew up together, and since Lulu hasn’t been eating lately, I was worried she was sick, so I separated them.”

[Wow, the streamer knows a thing or two!]
[Is what’s trending really true?]
[Can the people in front of me use their brains? The Crown Prince’s entertainment homepage is full of cute pet videos; if you watch a couple, you’d know there’s a white tiger named Tom…]
[Hmm, that makes sense. I’ll keep watching.]
[Definitely a scammer. If the streamer can cure the lynx, I’ll wash my hair upside down!]

Kāng nà looked at the various mocking comments, smirking as he calmly said, “Are Tom and Lulu’s meals the same? Have you been feeding Tom any special meat lately?”

“No, I feed them both together…” The Crown Prince scratched his head, suddenly slapping his forehead. “I just remembered! Last week, my sister came over and fed Tom two pieces of salmon but didn’t feed Lulu.”

“That’s it! Lulu is just throwing a tantrum. You just need to buy some salmon to feed her.”

“I have salmon at home! I’ll get it right now!”

The Crown Prince hurriedly found the salmon and held it up to the lynx.

In the next second, the previously listless big cat leaped up, let out a loud “ow!” and bit down hard on the salmon, purring with enjoyment as it ate.

The lynx finished all the pieces of salmon the Crown Prince had prepared before leisurely walking over to the bowl and starting to eat the beef.

“Good… good!” The Crown Prince was overjoyed, nearly in tears. “Mango Teacher, you’re amazing! I…”

“As long as the problem is solved, that’s all that matters.” Before the Crown Prince could finish his sentence, Kāng nà kicked him off the line.

In the next moment, the screen lit up with dazzling special effects.

Big Cat’s Litter Box Cleaner (Lulu & Tom) sent out Insect God’s Arrival ×5
User 57823957 sent out Insect God’s Arrival ×10

The viewers who had originally come to witness the streamer’s downfall were stunned, and the comments flooded the screen like raindrops.

[Wow, this streamer can actually understand what pets are saying!]
[Help! I always thought it was scripted, but the Crown Prince can’t be a plant, right?]
[I said the streamer wasn’t a scammer long ago; he even helped me distinguish between a myna and a crow!]
[+1, the streamer saw right through my border collie pretending to be lame. He’s really amazing!]
[Streamer, my baby hasn’t been eating lately too. Can you help me take a look?]

Besides the live stream, the Star Network exploded. As soon as the clip of the Crown Prince’s live stream was posted online, countless netizens rushed in like squirrels in a melon field, pushing the post to trending topics.

Those who were just there to watch the show, those whose pets were sick, and those who were simply bored all crawled into Kāng nà’s live stream.

So, when Kāng nà finally recovered from the shock of having ten Insect Gods on screen, he found that his audience had skyrocketed from a few thousand to over a hundred thousand, and his points had jumped from the 100s to the top ten, and it was still climbing.

A ticket to the Ant Clan was no longer a big deal. If he could maintain this heat, he might just become famous overnight and join the ranks of top streamers, achieving financial freedom!

It felt like a gold bar had fallen from the sky, and Kāng nà was dazed, his ears buzzing. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down, maintaining his cool insect persona, and quickly connected with the next guest.

• “How did public opinion suddenly reverse?”

Sū shān had her assistant live-streaming Ài shā painting while she stepped out of the camera, sitting on the sofa in a huff, her fingers flying over her smart device, frantically scrolling.

The head of the PR company stood nervously to the side: “We were executing the plan as scheduled. Initially, the effect was quite good, but we didn’t expect the Crown Prince to suddenly connect, which disrupted everything.”

Sū shān entered Kāng nà’s live stream with a secondary account and saw that the originally dull stream had shot up to over a hundred thousand viewers, and the points in the upper left corner were skyrocketing like a rocket.

“Damn!” Sū shān slammed her hand on the table in frustration. “That Mango is really lucky.”

The economic bug standing beside her cautiously advised, “He’s just a small streamer. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him, but if he really becomes popular, it’ll be harder to handle.”

“You’re right.”

Sū shān frowned, glancing at the points in Kāng nà’s live stream.

Fortunately, the gap between them was still quite obvious. Unless something unexpected happened, he shouldn’t surpass her.

The silver-haired female bug let out a slight sigh of relief and said to the head of the PR company, “All previous arrangements are to be paused. Delete the posts the water army has made, and find a way to suppress the trending topic.”

Things had already spiraled out of control; they couldn’t give that Mango even a bit of heat.

After arranging everything, Sū shān put on a smile and picked up Ài shā to re-enter the camera: “Babies, I’m back! Next, let’s have Ài shā perform addition and subtraction within a hundred.”

• Meanwhile, Jiā lè tè was sitting on a warship, watching Mango Teacher’s live stream.

Fifteen minutes ago, he had finished his official duties and opened the live stream, just in time to see the streamer help the Crown Prince solve the problem of the lynx not eating. After watching a few comments, he realized something was off. Scanning the trending topics on the Star Network, he had already pieced together the situation.

If it were any other time, Jiā lè tè wouldn’t have cared, but seeing those eyes that looked just like the Emperor’s, he didn’t think twice before sending five Insect Gods as a reward.

He exited the live stream and sent a screenshot of Sū shān’s homepage to Lái ēn.
——Find evidence of this female bug abusing cats and post it on the Star Network.

The other side replied instantly with a confused emoji.
——Boss, are you planning to invest in a live streaming company? Does Lord Kāng nà know?

Jiā lè tè frowned and typed back.
——Stop talking nonsense and execute the task. By the way, has tonight’s restaurant been booked?

The other side sent a salute emoji.
——It’s already booked at Zhēn xiǎng yuàn, the highest-end restaurant on Capital Star! The roses have also been ordered; I’ll bring them to you when I pick you up.

Only then did a satisfied expression appear on Jiā lè tè’s face.
——Order the dishes for me.

The military female gave the order and exited the Star Message, returning to work after a brief rest.

Although the Lizard Clan had retreated to their home planet, the border defense needed to be rearranged, and the fallen and injured military females had to be compensated according to regulations. Leaving early would be irresponsible; he had to take care of everything.

The military spaceship sped towards Capital Star, landing at the military aviation building at four in the evening. Lái ēn was already waiting nearby.

The young military female rushed over excitedly and saluted, “General.”

Having not seen each other for nearly a month, Lái ēn missed his commander very much, even though his commander usually had a stern demeanor and often imposed harsh punishments on them.

But female bugs were drawn to strength, and military females even more so. Jiā lè tè, as a 3S-level female bug, had led his subordinates into battle for seven years, creating one myth after another. Moreover, Jiā lè tè never skimped on military pay and treated his subordinates equally and fairly. Not just Lái ēn, all military females genuinely admired their general.

Jiā lè tè nodded slightly and walked straight to his starship.

On the back seat of the starship, red roses and beautifully wrapped gifts were already prepared.

Lái ēn opened the starship door and glanced at Jiā lè tè’s dusty, wrinkled military uniform. “General, do you want to go home and change? There’s still time.”

“No need. I don’t care for such formalities with the Emperor.” Jiā lè tè waved his hand, opened his smart device, and glanced at Andrew’s routine report. “The Emperor is at Lady Laura’s place; let’s go pick him up directly.”

“Okay.” Lái ēn set the address to Lady Laura’s. “Should I inform Lord Kāng nà?”

Jiā lè tè was about to nod when he suddenly caught sight of Andrew’s routine report from a few days ago.

The Emperor had been visiting Lady Laura’s house unusually frequently lately, almost every other day, and stayed for most of the day.

Although Laura was a male bug, he had heard that she often invited single female bugs and sub-females over for parties. Would the Emperor also be attending those parties?

Thinking of this, Jiā lè tè coldly said, “No need to notify; just go.”

The military female unconsciously clenched her fists, her golden eyes darkening.

His Emperor could only be his bug!
