Andrew gently ruffled Bonnie's hair, his voice uncharacteristically tender. "You're the woman I have my eyes on. How could I possibly let you marry someone else?"

Hearing this, Bonnie's face flushed bright red, and she buried her head in Andrew's chest. Andrew held her close, frowning slightly as he whispered, "You've lost weight." Bonnie looked up. "I miss the food from the cafeteria."

Andrew gave her an indulgent look and nodded. "Alright, we'll go back, and I'll make sure you get your fill."

The others were rather unfazed by the couple's open display of affection. The two walked hand-in-hand over to Yvette, Jeremiah, and the others. When Bonnie saw Yvette, she tried to pull her hand away. Andrew flashed a roguish grin and refused to let go, making Bonnie's face turn even redder. Embarrassed, Bonnie nodded to the group and said, "Hi, Yvette, Jeremiah."

Just then, the poisonous insect king that had been inside Holden's body suddenly flew out and landed on Yvette's shoulder. It shook its wings, almost like it was showing off, looking quite pleased with itself.

Bonnie, catching sight of the poisonous insect king on Yvette's shoulder, was so shocked that she stammered, "Oh my gosh, Yvette, that's the poisonous insect king! Where did you find it?"

Everyone turned to look at Bonnie. Andrew, puzzled, asked, "You know about this poisonous insect king? What exactly is it?" Emmett and Charles were curious as well. It seemed like Bonnie had a good deal of knowledge about the poisonous insect king. Bonnie took a closer look before daring to speak. "For hundreds of years, Dungo Village has taken pride in raising poisonous

insects.

"Anyone who successfully raises poisonous insects gains a higher status in the village. But poisonous insects aren't easy to cultivate. Generally, lower-grade poisonous insects are common.

"This one, however, is a high-grade poisonous insect, and in the past hundred years, Dungo Village has only produced two of them. Then there's the one that exists only in legend, the poisonous insect king. We've only ever seen it in books.
