D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan felt a little troubled because that guy named Kamel was a bit too familiar.

When we first met, he seemed rather quiet, but for some reason, he suddenly became very enthusiastic. He not only frequently came to chat with Lu Yuan, but also took the initiative to help out at the store.

Although Lu Yuan felt that Kamel's change in attitude was a bit strange, as the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Kamel was so proactive, and as time went on, the two insects naturally became friends.

Lu Yuan naturally told Rhine about making friends. When Rhine first heard that Lu Yuan had made a friend who was very nice to him, she was a little worried, fearing that someone might be using the guise of friendship to curry favor with Lu Yuan.

When Rhine later heard that the friend was a male insect, she didn't care anymore; she just considered it an extra insect to amuse Lu Yuan.

As Lu Yuan and Kamel talked more, the conversation inevitably turned to their families. However, Lu Yuan remained cautious, knowing that it was best not to let the other insects know about Rhine's situation.

So when Rhine was mentioned, Lu Yuan didn't even say Rhine's name, only that the female ruler in his family was of a higher rank than him and treated him very well.

That day, Kamel came to the store again to help Lu Yuan organize the shelves. Halfway through, perhaps feeling hot, he tied his hair up.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak with Kamel, he turned his head and saw the numbers on the back of Kamel's neck.

"Kamel, what's that number on the back of your neck? Is it a tattoo?"

Lu Yuan was unaware that when he mentioned numbers, Kamel, who had his back to him, had a look of hatred in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed those emotions.

"This is the number I had when I was a cargo."

"The item number when it was used as cargo???"

Lu Yuan Machinery repeated Kamel's words, completely failing to understand their meaning.

"Yes, I was sold to Mande Auction House three years ago and became a commodity there."

Kamer spoke casually, but Lu Yuan's face screamed, "I deserve to die!"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."

Lu Yuan never expected that a casual question would touch on someone's sore spot, leading to them being auctioned off like a commodity. What a painful past that must have been.

"It's okay, you wouldn't know anyway."

"and you......"

Lu Yuan wanted to ask Kamel how he had encountered such a thing, but then he thought that this would just be reopening old wounds, so he hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter only one sentence.

"It's all in the past, so let's look forward."

"Yes, you're right, I'll look forward."

......

Inside the bedroom, Lu Yuan and Rhine both closed their eyes, their bodies intertwined, and Lu Yuan's mental tentacles slowly reached into Rhine's mental sea.

After such a long period of training, Lu Yuan's mental tentacles have undergone new changes.

First, the thickness has changed from the thickness of a straw to the thickness of a water pipe; second, the color has changed, and now Lu Yuan's spiritual tentacles are a beautiful sapphire blue.

Lu Yuan's mental tentacles roamed freely within Rhine's mental sea, which was now completely open to him, allowing him to go anywhere without feeling any hindrance.

Now, Rhine's mental sea is peaceful and serene. Thanks to Lu Yuan's efforts over the past few days, all the small cracks have been repaired, leaving only some bottomless cracks.

The mental energy tentacles stopped on a wide crack, and Lu Yuan used all his mental energy to repair it.

Once the crack had healed by about a third, Lu Yuan, sensing that his mental energy was almost depleted, decisively withdrew his mental energy tentacles.

He is now an expert at calming the mind, and he no longer exhausts his mental energy and faints as easily as before.

He now knows that these things can't be rushed. If he doesn't finish today, he can continue tomorrow. As long as he keeps going, one day he will be able to repair Rhine's mental sea beautifully.

Lu Yuan withdrew his mental tentacles, opened his eyes, and looked at Rhine beneath him.

Rhine frowned slightly, but Lu Yuan knew this was a normal reaction. Rhine had once told Lu Yuan that when he was being comforted, he always felt a sensation that was neither itchy nor painful.

Lu Yuan kissed Rhine's forehead and asked softly, "Rhine, how do you feel this time?"

"I'm fine," Rhine replied, opening her eyes.

This was Rhine's standard answer, but knowing that nothing went wrong, Lu Yuan was relieved.

He got off Rhine, rolled over and lay down on his side, then said, "How about it, Rhine, just admit it, that textbook was useful. I feel like next time you have a mental breakdown, I'll be able to calm you down smoothly."

Rhine didn't speak, but this attitude was actually a tacit agreement.

In fact, he himself was the most sensitive to the state of his mental sea. Ever since Lu Yuan started to comfort him daily, he could clearly feel that the state of his mental sea was getting better and better.

Seeing that Rhine didn't respond, Lu Yuan changed the subject.

"Rhine, do you know that my friend Camel was once an item auctioned by Mande Auction House?"

Rhine's body tensed instantly, and his eyes sharpened.

"What happened?" Rhine asked.

"You didn't expect this either, did you? I was shocked yesterday too."

Although Lu Yuan had heard that auction houses sold male insects, he never imagined that such a thing would happen to someone close to him, let alone to his friend.

"Yesterday I accidentally saw numbers on the back of Kamel's neck. At first I thought it was a tattoo or something, but it turned out to be a shipment number. They really don't treat Kamel like a living insect."

"What is the number?"

"what?"

Lu Yuan didn't expect Rhein to ask this, but he still thought about it carefully. He was grateful for the good eyesight of this body; he had seen things fairly clearly yesterday.

"There should be an X, a 2, and a 5, and another number in the middle, but it's blocked by the hair, so I can't see it."

Did he say when it was sold to the auction house?

"It was mentioned, they said it was three years ago."

The time of sale and the serial number on the back of the neck mostly matched. Was this a case of finding something unexpected after searching high and low, or was it that some insect deliberately set a trap for him to get there?

When Rhine first heard the name Kamel from Lu Yuan, he didn't pay much attention to it because the name was actually very common. At one point, five out of ten male insects in the empire were named Kamel.

But now it seems, could things really be such a coincidence that the Kamel that Lu Yuan knows is the same Kamel who was kidnapped by the Storm Star Pirates?

Although Rhine didn't believe in coincidences, he had no other leads and had to meet this Kamel no matter what.
