Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

Xue Lai didn’t leave because of Lin Hanchuan’s cold expression; instead, he smiled even more brightly, his eyebrows and eyes showing a trace of elusive satisfaction.
“Although it was my first time entering Your Majesty’s deep-level mental world, our treatment went surprisingly smoothly.”

“That’s good,” Lin Hanchuan wasn’t interested in playing any harem rivalry games with him.
He casually dismissed him and was about to close the door.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Xue Lai’s face freeze, his original intention was to come and show off.
If he could provoke this ignorant little male Zerg to argue with His Majesty, it would be even better.
However, the other party seemed to see through his scheme and remained completely unaffected.

Biting his lip, Xue Lai had to abandon his habit of concealing everything and laid out his thoughts openly, “Performing deep-level mental treatment requires the female Zerg’s absolute trust in the male Zerg.
It seems Your Majesty trusts me a lot.”

After speaking, Xue Lai’s eyes carried a hint of anticipation as he stared at Lin Hanchuan, hoping to find some clues in his expression.
But no matter how he observed, the little male Zerg’s demeanor remained calm, showing no signs of being moved.

No anger, no jealousy, no discontent.
In those beautiful green eyes, there was only a hint of confusion.
“Are you here just to tell me this?” Lin Hanchuan asked.

Xue Lai was speechless.

“I’m not interested in what happened between you.” Lin Hanchuan looked at Xue Lai seriously and said, “I wish you two the best, to be together forever, never to part.”

With a “bang,” the door was closed, and throughout the whole encounter, Lin Hanchuan showed no negative emotions.

Standing at the door, Xue Lai was somewhat dazed.
In his investigation, this little male Zerg was obviously naive and easy to manipulate.
A slight manipulation of his emotions should have led him to follow his plan.

What’s going on? Xue Lai was puzzled.
He didn’t imagine the blessing of being together forever and never parting, and an odd feeling surged in his heart.

Not long ago, this little male Zerg had feelings for Mo’er deeply rooted in his heart, but now it seemed like he treated Mo’er like some unwanted trash, hoping someone else would take over… What happened to cause such a drastic change in him within such a short time?

Lin Hanchuan didn’t know how long Xue Lai stood at the door, nor was he interested to find out.
He quickly sent him away with a few words.
Sitting on the bed, he knocked on the uniquely textured bed frame and said, “Come out.”

The room was quiet for a moment, and soon the sound of clothes rubbing against the floor was heard, and Lin Jianshen crawled out from under the bed.

The technological level of the Zerg Star far exceeded that of the modern world.
The room had a built-in purification function, and there was no dust accumulation in any corner, including under the bed.
Lin Jianshen rolled around under the bed, and except for slightly disheveled clothes, he didn’t get any dust on him.

Lin Hanchuan looked at Lin Jianshen, who seemed somewhat regretful, and couldn’t help but smile.
“Why did you think of hiding under the bed?”

Lin Jianshen avoided Lin Hanchuan’s teasing gaze, not wanting to leave the other’s sight subconsciously, so he chose to hide under the bed… only to realize how inappropriate his behavior was after he got in.

“You know,” Lin Hanchuan sat on the bed, though he had to look up at Lin Jianshen, he maintained a relaxed posture, while Lin Jianshen seemed like he was being punished, standing stiff like a wooden doll.

“Know what?” Lin Jianshen looked at Lin Hanchuan subconsciously, but in an instant of eye contact, he quickly looked away, but couldn’t help but glance back at him a few seconds later.

Even with his hand covering his mouth, the pretty green eyes of the little male Zerg were still exposed.
He blinked, not saying anything, but seemed to have said everything.

Lin Jianshen’s shallow breath sprayed on Lin Hanchuan’s palm.
They were so close that Lin Hanchuan could see himself reflected in those small pupils.
Lin Jianshen’s back trembled slightly.
He tried his best not to show the bone spurs of seeking intimacy and not to scare the little male Zerg in front of him.

Under Lin Hanchuan’s smiling gaze, Lin Jianshen sent a message to the main brain and placed it in front of him.

“Please don’t make such jokes.
It is disrespectful to you.”

Although he was teasing the other party, Lin Jianshen’s first reaction was that such a joke would be disrespectful to himself.
Lin Hanchuan looked at the message for a while, then looked at Lin Jianshen, suddenly unsure of what to say.

“You have this personality…” Lin Hanchuan chuckled.

The keenly perceptive little female Zerg heard the soft murmur of the male Zerg.
He perked up his ears, wanting to know the male Zerg’s evaluation of his personality—would he find it boring? Would he think it was uninteresting?

“I like it very much.” Lin Hanchuan said generously.
As he finished speaking, the little female Zerg’s pupils not far away seemed to shrink, and his ears turned red.

Although the world was different from his previous one, Lin Hanchuan found that he didn’t dislike it at all; on the contrary, he found it interesting and adorable.

The word cute flashed through Lin Hanchuan’s mind, and he himself was stunned.

If it were before, he could use the word cute to describe beautiful Ran Xing, handsome Qi Yuyu, or lively Wan Li Shuang.
However, now he found himself thinking that Lin Jianshen, a man who was even taller than him, was also cute.

It was all because this tall body housed the soul he deeply loved, and as a result, he seemed to radiate a radiant glow.
Lin Hanchuan rubbed his temples, thinking that he might have fallen deeper than he imagined.

Lin Jianshen worriedly half-knelt in front of Lin Hanchuan, like a loyal and devoted big dog, with eyes only for his master.

“I’m fine,” Lin Hanchuan thought for a moment and reassured, “I’m just thinking about how to leave the palace…”

Lin Jianshen’s eyes lit up with a hint of intrigue.
He typed a message in the main brain: “In a few days, it will be Mo’er’s enthronement ceremony.
The palace guards will focus on Mo’er.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to leave.”

“That’s a good idea.” Lin Hanchuan couldn’t help but ruffle Lin Jianshen’s head.
“I have a map of the palace and the guard rotation schedule.
It will be much more convenient then.”

Lin Jianshen’s hair wasn’t soft; it had a rough and hard texture, like touching a small hedgehog, but it strangely felt comfortable.
Lin Hanchuan took the opportunity to ruffle his head several times before letting go, satisfied.

Lin Jianshen looked at Lin Hanchuan with a subdued gaze, lowering his head submissively, and letting the little male Zerg play with his hair.
He focused on the message he sent in the main brain, fixating on the word “we” with a barely discernible smile on his lips.

Previously, leaving the palace on his own was not easy, but now with Lin Jianshen by his side, things would be much more convenient.

While familiarizing themselves with the layout of the palace, they both trained diligently to ensure they would be in the best condition on the day of departure.

Lin Jianshen’s physical training was straightforward; he was used to finding ways to train no matter where he was, even if there were no facilities, it didn’t affect him.

Lin Hanchuan’s male Zerg body was frail, and if his physical fitness couldn’t keep up, it would undoubtedly affect their plans.
However, his resilient personality led him to devise a plan to train his body.

During his daily training, Lin Hanchuan was surprised to find that not only did he not feel tired while training, but he also felt more energized.
It was as if his mind was also being tempered while he trained his body.

Discovering this, Lin Hanchuan was somewhat astonished.
He asked Lin Jianshen, “Can male Zerg’s mental power be trained?”

Before Lin Jianshen could answer, Lin Hanchuan realized that he had asked a pointless question.

A male Zerg’s mental power level was fixed at birth and could only be upgraded through some fortuitous encounters; there was no way to improve it through training, let alone reaching a higher level.

As such, male Zergs with higher mental power levels were more precious and gained more social privileges.

However, Lin Hanchuan still felt something was amiss.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense his own mental power.

In theory, a male Zerg’s mental power would only manifest when entering a female Zerg’s mental world, but Lin Hanchuan could feel his mental power spreading in the air like an invisible net.

This feeling reminded Lin Hanchuan of a previous incident…

Before he entered the palace, Lin Hanchuan lived in Lin Jianshen’s house and saved an underage male Zerg next door from being forced into something.
At that time, he used his mental power to attack the female Zerg who was forcing the young male Zerg, and in a daze, he seemed to see various strange colors around him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze radiant.
If his intuition was correct, perhaps the male Zergs in this world had abilities that went beyond what was originally set.

As a female Zerg, Lin Jianshen couldn’t sense the male Zerg’s mental power and didn’t know what was happening.
He could only worryingly watch Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan was about to test his idea when he noticed Lin Jianshen’s gaze.
He smiled slightly and said, “You guard here for me.
Don’t worry; nothing will happen.”

Lin Jianshen frowned at the center of his eyebrows, feeling helpless.
He could only watch as Lin Hanchuan closed his eyes again, but at least, the male Zerg looked calm without any peculiar behavior.

[001, can male Zergs in this world train and upgrade their mental power?] Lin Hanchuan asked 001 in his mind.

001 was also puzzled.
[Within the original setting, there is no mention of male Zergs being able to upgrade their mental power.]

The original host, Du Lu, was already the male insect with the highest mental power level and didn’t need any upgrades.

[Can male Zergs use their mental power to attack enemies?] Lin Hanchuan asked again.

001 answered hesitantly, [They can’t…]

This time, 001 answered hesitantly because it remembered when Lin Hanchuan used his mental power to attack the female Zerg who was forcing the young male Zerg.

In silence, Lin Hanchuan found the answer he was looking for.

He no longer hesitated and tried to control the involuntary release of his mental power.
At first, his mental power seemed like stagnant water, motionless even when called by its owner.

Until Lin Hanchuan found the technique, he slowly drove this mental power.
He was still somewhat unskilled, like a person undergoing rehabilitation who wasn’t familiar with their limbs.

After an unknown amount of time, the scattered mental power finally gathered together, and Lin Hanchuan was astonished to find that, in addition to his own light blue mental power, there was a faint milky white mental power floating in the air.

Lin Hanchuan’s light blue mental power merged with the milky white mental power, and when they separated, the milky white mental power subconsciously followed Lin Hanchuan’s light blue mental power.

Deep in thought, Lin Hanchuan followed the milky white mental power, and he saw Xue Lai in the adjacent room.

Not staying in Xue Lai’s room for too long, Lin Hanchuan continued to expand his mental power.
In a large hall, he saw Mo’er discussing state affairs with others.

The path was unobstructed all the way, and Lin Hanchuan relaxed his vigilance.
He didn’t want to listen to Mo’er handling state affairs and was about to leave to familiarize himself with various routes in the palace when Mo’er suddenly looked up.
His pair of crimson eyes met Lin Hanchuan’s.

Lin Hanchuan froze in place.
