After receiving Campbell's permission, Yixiouya held a secret meeting with Zhang Fan aboard her flagship.
When she saw Zhang Fan in human form, she was stunned. "You're the Insect Race Overlord? Who was that female member of the Insect Race we spoke to before?"
Zhang Fan smiled. "That was my Deputy Adjutant, Shusha. General Yixiouya, I'm curious myself. Is that body of yours human?"
After inviting Zhang Fan to sit, Yixiouya said, "'Human' is merely a general term. We are all children of the Creator. He designed our bodies in his own image. Our differences are simply the result of slight variations in the creation process."

Zhang Fan snapped out of it and hurriedly said, "No, I was just remembering a few things from the past." He changed the subject. "General Yixiouya, are you satisfied with the fighting strength of our Insect Race?"
Yixiouya smiled. "Of course. I invited you here precisely to discuss how you might prove the Insect Race's sincerity."
Feigning surprise, Zhang Fan asked, "Sincerity? What more do you need? I believe I've already shown plenty."

This was exactly what Zhang Fan had anticipated. Although
