Model Male Zerg of the Zerg Clan

**Chapter 4**

“Why is it so noisy outside?”

Inside the first-class cabin, a slender male zerg nestled in a large, soft sofa. Unlike the crowded arrangement outside, he had the room all to himself.

A vintage metal speaker on the wall played soothing music, and the air was filled with a tranquil fragrance.

The male zerg had a thick book open on his lap, with a small table beside him holding delicate pastries and steaming coffee.

He lifted his head, his amber eyes quietly observing the sturdy bodyguard, “What’s happening?”

Compared to the bodyguard, he appeared so fragile, yet the bodyguard began to sweat profusely.

“Apologies for disturbing you.” The bodyguard bowed, “It’s just an arrogant female zerg. You know how those delusional females are, like bees that can’t be driven away, always wanting to get your attention.”

The male zerg lowered his gaze, “It’s not a big deal. If there’s real trouble, just let them in.”

“How could that be?!”

The bodyguard raised his head in shock, “You are such a precious male zerg—how can we let those lowly zergs near you?!”

“Precious male zerg…”

These words were repeated softly, and the male zerg’s mouth curved into a mocking smile, “A C-rank male zerg can be considered precious?”

The bodyguard was about to express his loyalty, but the male zerg frowned and impatiently interrupted him, “Enough, I’m tired of hearing this. Just now—nothing really happened, right?”

Those amber eyes suddenly turned sharp, making the bodyguard’s back tingle. But he dutifully lowered his head, “No, just those scheming female zergs. We’ve already driven him away.”

“That’s good.”

The male zerg lowered his head again, delicately sipping his coffee.

On the title page of the book on his lap, three beautiful characters were written.

**Qi Sihan**

At the moment he lowered his head, the glass on the door reflected an zerg with black hair and red eyes. His handsome face was cold as he half-supported, half-carried another silver-haired zerg, hurrying past.

The silver-haired zerg’s face was pale, leaning against the shoulder of the black-haired zerg, with disheveled hair hanging down.

The bodyguard was startled and quickly moved to block the glass.

—

Lu Xi pushed open the bathroom door, finding it empty and filled with the pungent smell of cheap perfume.

Looking around, Lu Xi carefully placed Xia Baiyuan on the sink and then closed the door.

He took a roll of tape from his backpack, which contained special radioactive substances that could block the mental power of male zergs. When applied, it could defend against attacks from male zergs, a highly valuable item in the future.

—But at this time, no one realized this, only treating it as a pretty fluorescent substance.

Lu Xi firmly sealed the gaps with the tape, his mind racing.

Pheromones.

Pheromones.

He had a guess.

In this era, the zerg race had not yet invented instruments to detect mental power. The bulky device probably measured pheromone concentration.

Ancient wisdom was indeed amazing; it was an almost 100% accurate method—except for unlucky male zergs like Lu Xi.

Biting off the last piece of tape, Lu Xi tossed the remaining roll back into his backpack and walked towards the nearly unconscious Xia Baiyuan.

Pheromones were also essential for mental power guidance. As a male zerg with blocked pheromones, Lu Xi couldn’t perform the guidance.

But in this critical moment, even a one-in-a-million chance was worth trying.

Devoted fan Lu Xi subconsciously prayed to the war god in his heart.

**Xia God, please let me succeed this time!**

Xia Baiyuan, sitting on the sink, struggled to take a breath.

Lu Xi: “…”

Marshal Xia, asking others for help is pointless; you better bless yourself.

Mental power guidance could cause high fever, and in severe cases, suffocation. Following the safety manual strictly, the female zerg needed to remove their shirt.

Lu Xi reached out to unbutton Xia Baiyuan’s collar.

Despite having read many ancient books for Xia Baiyuan, the wars and passage of time left historical records incomplete and filled with fictional knowledge.

Therefore, he didn’t know that in this era, the zerg race’s attire was quite conservative.

His face was filled with the holy glow of saving lives.

But his hands trembled with nervousness, and it took quite a while to unbutton just one button.

He let out a sigh of relief and was about to undo the second button when his wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly.

Lu Xi looked up, meeting a pair of blue-green eyes.

Those eyes were clouded, like a lake shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Xia Baiyuan was still in a state of confusion, not recognizing Lu Xi.

Lu Xi softened his voice, “Xia Baiyuan, I’m trying to help you.”

Xia Baiyuan only “looked” at him silently, and Lu Xi’s gaze, as if scalded, quickly averted.

He had only seen such a look once before.

When Lu Xi was very young, he had followed his father to visit an alien race, coincidentally just after they had ended a war.

The alien soldiers had taken Lu Xi to the deck of their warship and pointed out a spot, saying, “Look, that’s the enemy general we captured alive.”

Lu Xi had looked in the direction they pointed and saw a mass of soldiers, all in pristine new sailor uniforms, gathered together with expressions of joy on their faces.

In the middle of the soldiers, a naked man was crouched on the ground.

In front of the man was a rudimentary cleaning tool, which he used to barely cover himself.

“He has to clean the deck for us.”

At that moment, the naked man had raised his head in panic, seemingly instinctively glancing around.

Lu Xi had seen his eyes.

Somehow, he had never been able to forget that man’s eyes.

And at this moment, the way Xia Baiyuan looked at him overlapped with that memory.

Lu Xi’s hand recoiled as if shocked, his chest heaving, “I, I—”

Xia Baiyuan’s grip on his hand was firm but not strong. Forcing himself to meet those eyes, Lu Xi whispered, “You don’t want to be seen, do you?”

“I won’t look at you.”

Lu Xi gently withdrew his hand—it didn’t take any effort. He took a tie from his backpack and put it on, then said, “See, now I can’t see anything.”

Patients are usually easy to deceive.

Even if his vision was blocked, a male zerg’s mental power would allow him to “see” clearly.

Xia Baiyuan wouldn’t know that Lu Xi could still see him.

But…

Gritting his teeth, Lu Xi disabled his mental power vision.

For the first time since birth, he entered a true, complete darkness.

It felt very, very, very bad.

It was as if a piece had been cut out of him, bringing an unprecedented panic.

Lu Xi reached out towards Xia Baiyuan from memory, “Xia Baiyuan—oof!!”

His stomach hit the edge of the sink, the force making his face contort in pain, and he lay on the sink for a while to recover.

After a while, he realized his face was resting in Xia Baiyuan’s arm.

He should say, Xia Baiyuan had caught him just in time; otherwise, his face would have been badly bruised.

Xia Baiyuan had accepted him.

Uncertain, Lu Xi lifted his head, “Are you awake?”

Xia Baiyuan didn’t respond, but Lu Xi could hear his slow, labored breathing.

After a while, the rustling sound of clothes moving could be heard, and Lu Xi heard Xia Baiyuan’s hoarse, low voice.

“Done.”

This was a sacred act of rescue—

But perhaps because his vision was blocked, or because he had been interrupted, Lu Xi felt a bit shaken.

Help.

Help!!

He didn’t know if he was blushing, but his face was heating up.

Holy.

Sacred.

Aaaah!!

After desperately pushing down inappropriate thoughts (he was, after all, a healthy male zerg), Lu Xi finally returned to his usual fan mindset.

His hand waved in the air, then was caught and guided to a warm patch of skin.

Xia Baiyuan asked softly, “Is it here?”

Lu Xi nodded slightly, not knowing what Xia Baiyuan’s expression was, which made him feel a bit more relaxed.

He said, “As long as there’s contact, it’s fine. It might hurt a bit; let me know if it’s too much.”

He felt quite uncertain.

Xia Baiyuan’s cool fingertips tapped his palm, signaling he understood.

Lu Xi took a deep breath and finally released his mental power.

There’s an interesting analogy for the guidance of the mental sea.

The mental sea of a female zerg is like a fog-filled deep sea, and the mental power of a male zerg is like a giant ship. In this voyage, pheromones serve as the lighthouse on the sea.

If the lighthouse’s guidance is lost, the giant ship will be completely lost in the deep sea.

—Of course, the male zerg can also choose to destroy this sea.

Once lost, the outcome is almost always disastrous.

Lu Xi navigated cautiously on the sea’s surface.

Xia Baiyuan’s condition was slightly better than he had imagined, but still far from good. It was hard to imagine that a female zerg at his age had a mental sea deteriorated to this extent.

It was almost comparable to the surface of the moon, full of crater after crater.

Lu Xi meticulously combed through each condensed mental block, adjusting his mental power after clearing each one to avoid getting completely lost.

Every action he took consumed several times more mental power than that of a professional mental sea guide.

Sweat dripped from his cheeks, soaking his collar.

Even so, his actions were still much rougher than usual. Several times he saw the mental blocks, like fragile balloons, burst in front of him with just a slight touch of his mental power.

Every time this happened, Xia Baiyuan’s hand would tremble slightly as he held onto Lu Xi.

Overall, things were going fairly smoothly, but Lu Xi remained anxious. This wasn’t based on experience, but his intuition warning him of a potential crisis ahead.

Just stop here… it should be enough for now, at least it won’t relapse in the short term…

But he greedily wanted to clear a bit more, just a bit more.

Until—

Lu Xi broke apart a block and was about to move to the next area when he made a shocking discovery.

He thought the darkness ahead was the edge of Xia Baiyuan’s mental sea, so he cautiously cleared the blocks along the boundary.

But in the darkness, he found a small, radiant area being slowly consumed by the dark.

Such a vast darkness… turned out to be an area of mental blockages.

Lu Xi had never seen such a terrifying sight.

How had Xia Baiyuan survived until now?

If this area wasn’t resolved, Xia Baiyuan would ultimately die from mental power blockage.

It must be…

It must be cleared.

Just as Lu Xi made up his mind, he heard a sigh from Xia Baiyuan.

“That’s enough.”

In the next moment, Lu Xi clearly felt Xia Baiyuan’s mental sea rejecting him.

He anxiously grabbed Xia Baiyuan, “Wait, we’ve finally made it here—”

Xia Baiyuan, however, grasped his wrist, his voice much calmer, “I know, but there’s no need for you to take this risk for me.”

Lu Xi opened his mouth, but his voice got stuck in his throat.

The zerg race of this era hadn’t yet discovered that the strange behavior of female zergs was because they also had a mental sea, but couldn’t use it.

And male zergs of this era hadn’t evolved to the point where they could independently master mental power to clear the mental sea for female zergs.

Xia Baiyuan didn’t know what Lu Xi was doing.

But being as sharp as he was, Xia Baiyuan had sensed the danger.

So he stopped Lu Xi, and he was right.

At least on the surface, they had only known each other for three days, and the closest relationship they had was that of a client and service provider. Lu Xi really had no reason to take risks for Xia Baiyuan.

Moreover, it was Xia Baiyuan who was hired—to take risks for Lu Xi.

Too calm, so calm that it was completely unlike someone who was in mortal danger.

Lu Xi had to reluctantly withdraw his mental power along the original path, feeling somewhat dejected.

A cold, wet hand lifted the tie from Lu Xi’s face, and the long-lost light made Lu Xi blink uncomfortably.

Xia Baiyuan, wearing a shirt and draped in a coat, sat on the sink. His always pale and delicate face finally had a touch of color. He half-closed his eyes, revealing a near-languid expression.

It was the relief that came after enduring prolonged torment and finally finding a moment of peace.

Lu Xi: “…”

Lu Xi: ///

Lu Xi was revived on the spot!!!

Aaaah!! Xia Baiyuan, Marshal Xia, Lord Xia is so handsome!!!

Xia Baiyuan looked at him, a rare trace of curiosity in his blue-green eyes, “You… are a male zerg?”

Of course, I am!!!

Before Lu Xi could answer, Xia Baiyuan shook his head, “No, that’s impossible.”

“You don’t have the scent of a male zerg.”

Xia Baiyuan tilted his head and leaned closer to Lu Xi.

Seeing those blue-green eyes getting closer, Lu Xi’s brain began to freeze.

Xia Baiyuan: “An ability?”

Lu Xi: “…”

Haha, foolish ancient zerg race.

You’d rather believe in the existence of abilities than believe that I am a male zerg.

Sigh.

“Lu Xi.”

Lu Xi looked up, annoyed, “What?”

Under the light, the silver-haired female zerg gave him a rare gentle smile for the first time, “Thank you.”

Lu Xi stared at him in a daze.

Sobbing.

Marshal Xia, I will definitely cure you, QVQ.

After time-traveling to the ancient zerg race era, Lu Xi added a new goal to his plan.

Congratulations.
