After the war, the imperial palace remained unchanged, still cold and splendidly grand.

“Take him to the secondary hall,” Mo’er said with a complex look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Hanchuan.

Unlike other species, the Zerg race could only have one Zerg emperor. Only after the current emperor died could the next one ascend to the throne. During the transition period, the pheromones emitted by the emperor would change, allowing them to naturally command all the insects.

Having killed the previous Zerg emperor, Mo’er was still in the process of transitioning, and logically, he should not leave the palace during this time. He should stay under tight protection until the transition was completed.

They had already taken the risk of leaving the palace, and the person they wanted to retrieve was already with them. Now Mo’er should concentrate on waiting for the end of the transition period.

Du Lu was warm and clingy. Mo’er thought the little Zerg would be sulking or angry after being thrown into an unfamiliar place, but instead, the young male remained indifferent, showing no trace of emotion.

“Your Majesty, you should enter the secret chamber,” a nearby female Zerg reminded in a low voice.

Mo’er watched as the young Zerg gradually moved away, feeling a sense of panic as if he was about to lose something extremely important.

“Your Majesty, if another female completes the transition before you, all our efforts will be in vain,” the female Zerg said, noticing Mo’er’s absent-mindedness.

In the past, the length of the transition period for the Zerg race was uncertain, during which anything could happen. Most of the time, two powerful females would compete, and whoever completed the transition first would be the final winner.

Since one of the previous emperors discovered minerals that could accelerate the transition, the emperors would choose to spend the transition period in a secret chamber filled with these minerals, greatly increasing their competitiveness.

After being delayed for so long, if they were to be delayed further, there was no telling what accidents might happen. On one side was the hard-won position of the Zerg emperor, and on the other side was the male Zerg he had married and could not escape from.

Mo’er’s pupils contracted a few times, and he took one last look in the direction where the young Zerg disappeared before turning and walking towards the secret chamber.

As Lin Hanchuan walked from the palace gate to the secondary hall, he saw many oddly shaped flowers, emitting a sweet fragrance. Judging from the growth of these flowers, Lin Hanchuan strongly suspected that they were similar to carnivorous plants.

“Do you like these?” the female Zerg leading the way asked with a smile, plucking a flower and handing it to Lin Hanchuan. He seemed eager to please, “These flowers smell sweet, and if you suck the nectar from the base, it’ll be a bit spicy.”

Lin Hanchuan’s expression was subtle.

“But don’t eat too much; it can make you dizzy, and in severe cases, you might be dizzy for a few hours.” The female Zerg was not concerned and continued. The bright red lips lingered, the pupils faintly contracted, greedy and salivating.

Lin Hanchuan took a step back: “Does the Zerg emperor know you’re doing this?”

Seeing that Lin Hanchuan had discovered his intentions, the female Zerg laughed even more unscrupulously: “Our Zerg emperor is a new sect of anti-male Zergs, you are just a little male Zerg…”

It is said that the pheromones of male Zergs in deep communication can appease female Zergs, and after deep communication, the spiritual healing effect of male Zergs will also be stronger. As a military female who doesn’t like males, this female has never been so close to any male, so close that the female can smell the sweet green pheromone smell on the young male.

The female licked his lips, feeling extremely thirsty both mentally and physically.

Lin Hanchuan also hooked the corners of his lips, and there was no smile in his eyes. He raised the object in his hand and aimed at the female Zerg: “What you’re saying is that you don’t need to listen to the Zerg emperor’s words?”

The eyes of the female Zerg changed: “Quantum gun? Why do you have this thing? You are a little male Zerg; how could you possibly use the quantum gun? Can you even handle it properly if you shoot it…?”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Hanchuan slowly opened the safety valve of the quantum gun, aiming it at the female Zerg’s head, then his chest, and finally, his left arm, where he pressed the trigger.

The next moment, a fist-sized wound appeared on the female Zerg’s small arm, grazing past his pale arm bone, and blowing off a large chunk of flesh and blood.

For a military female who had experienced wars, this wound was nothing more than a minor injury that would take a few days to heal completely. What astonished him was that the seemingly weak male Zerg stood steady with the quantum gun in hand.

In the eyes of the female Zerg, male Zergs were always fragile and delicate creatures that could be killed with a single poke. The quantum gun was a weapon for female Zergs, and male Zergs only enjoyed beautiful flowers and plants. Yet now, there was a male Zerg holding this weapon that was exclusively used by females.

The male and female Zerg faced off for a few seconds, and finally, the female Zerg stepped back, covering the oozing wound: “Little male Zerg, you’re quite something.”

Even as the female Zerg left the secondary hall, Lin Hanchuan did not lower the quantum gun.

[Chuanchuan, are you alright?] 001 flew around Lin Hanchuan, showing concern, before settling on his right shoulder.

Lin Hanchuan’s right hand trembled unnaturally, and he replied, [I’m fine.]

In this Zerg-dominated world where the strong ruled, a male Zerg without self-defense was nothing more than a walking target. Lin Hanchuan had stolen Mo’er’s quantum gun, and he had not expected to use it within half an hour.

The strength of a female Zerg was naturally higher than that of a male Zerg, and this weapon designed for military females was unsuitable for male Zergs’ physique. After firing just one shot, Lin Hanchuan’s muscles began to tremble.

[The original host was just an ordinary person… uh, I mean an ordinary Zerg. It’s normal for him not to be able to use a military female’s weapon.] 001 consoled.

As it spoke, Lin Hanchuan felt as if his arm was being massaged, and he felt a sense of relief as the trembling stopped, leaving only slight soreness.

[Thank you, 001.] Lin Hanchuan held 001 in his hand and tentatively rubbed its head.

001 waved its tiny paw nonchalantly, [It’s nothing, just a small thing.]

Lin Hanchuan readily followed suit, pretending not to notice 001 gradually transforming into a pink-colored body.

The secondary hall of the palace was also extravagantly luxurious. Lin Hanchuan tried to find a place to rest. He pushed open one door and discovered a spacious, independent bathhouse. He silently withdrew and opened the second door, revealing a stone surface mimicking damp green moss. Behind the third door was a wall resembling a cat’s scratchboard.

After wandering for an unknown period, Lin Hanchuan finally found a room suitable for a male Zerg to live in. He breathed a sigh of relief without showing any traces of his earlier frustrations. Just as he was about to enter, he encountered a petite male Zerg coming out of the room.

“Who are you? Why are you in my room?” This male Zerg also had a pair of green eyes, and he warily regarded Lin Hanchuan.

[Your eyes look better than his.] 001 assessed, looking left and right before adding, [His green eyes are too deep and make him appear fierce.]

Lin Hanchuan pretended not to hear 001’s comment and negotiated with the male Zerg, “Sorry, I’m temporarily staying in the secondary hall, and I haven’t found my own room. I was just looking around… Do you have any available rooms for me?”

[He’s an evil supporting character, why are you speaking so softly to him?] 001 protested.

In the original text, there were only two green-eyed male Zergs, one being the protagonist Mo’er’s mate, and the other being the malicious supporting character Xue Lai.

Xue Lai was the male Zerg sent by Mo’er’s subordinates. He was also an S-level top male Zerg and had provided Mo’er with several mental treatments. His green eyes became a thorn in the side of Du Lu, the protagonist’s mate, causing several conflicts with Mo’er.

However, Mo’er wouldn’t indulge Du Lu’s bad temper. Each time Du Lu threw a tantrum, Mo’er would go for a mental treatment session with Xue Lai. This repeated several times, and Du Lu eventually stopped mentioning Xue Lai.

Xue Lai had an S-level mental power, and although he was a male Zerg, his family had many male Zergs and he was the least prominent among them. He was bullied because of his green eyes, and he only lived with his female father.

But after becoming an adult, it was discovered that he had an S-level mental power, and he became popular overnight.

He was gentle, loving, generous, and elegant, and not only was he adored by female Zergs, but even male Zergs found it difficult to dislike him. Compared to a large number of same-aged male Zergs in the harem, Xue Lai only had a few female attendants, and he had not yet decided on a mate.

Because he only wanted the best, but the one he liked was taken away by a just-grown puppy.

Xue Lai detested Du Lu not only because of Mo’er but also because Du Lu was the most foolish and ignorant male Zerg he had ever seen. Growing up in a honey jar, Du Lu had never experienced blindness and knew nothing of the dark side of the world. Everyone treated him like a precious gem, and he naturally grew into a spoiled and childish male Zerg.

Xue Lai looked down on the puppy-like male Zerg and believed that with just a little trickery, the puppy would be separated from Mo’er, and then he would become the only king of the planet.

However, this male Zerg he despised seemed to see through his inner thoughts. A pair of beautiful green eyes reflected his twisted face.

Lin Hanchuan withdrew his gaze, “I think I’ve found my room, and I don’t need your help.”

Before leaving, Lin Hanchuan politely said, “Thank you.”

As he walked away, the dejected Xue Lai felt like a huge stone pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
