Chapter 141: Never Want to Shortchange the Female Master Even 1 Bit

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Never Want to Shortchange the Female Master Even 1 Bit

Shen Zhiqiu pointed at her Space Button and said, "Our Mianzhou has truly brought his Mother so much honor! Did you all notice? The color of our family’s bath liquid is much darker than that of the Rabbit Beast Clan and the Mermaid Clan!

"What does this mean? It means that our daughter-in-law gave us the best!

"It’s one of a kind!"

She spoke with a face full of utter smugness.

A flash of awkwardness crossed the face of Shen Mianzhou’s Father. However, not wanting his Female Master, Shen Zhiqiu, to harbor any negative opinions about their son’s Female Master, he chimed in with an agreeing nod. "You are absolutely right, Female Master!"

Shen Mianzhou knew perfectly well that the four sets of Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid his Female Master had given his Mother were merely of standard excellent level. He was aware that the elders of Lorenzo and Samuel had brought precious gifts for his Female Master, so she had to reciprocate accordingly. Otherwise, who would treat her well? Thus, Shen Mianzhou kept silent. Knowing that the cost of even a single set of bath liquid was exorbitant, he already felt that his parents had taken great advantage of the situation.

He asked Shen Zhiqiu directly, "Mother, how do you plan to distribute these four sets of bath liquid? Are they... for my older and younger cousins to use?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu glared at him. "I don’t know how I raised a cub like you! If you really care about your cousins, you should have asked your Female Master to give us six sets!"

Sitting on the sofa, her round body shifted, wiggling her hips to adjust into a more comfortable position before she finally sighed. "Forget it. Since our daughter-in-law has already given us the highest quality bath liquid, naturally, I’ll use one set, your Father will use one, your older brother will use one, and your younger brother will use the last!

"You must take good care of our daughter-in-law. That way, you can ask for an extra set for your younger cousin!"

Shen Mianzhou pursed his lips. Sometimes, he felt that it was precisely because he was too clear-headed, possessing proper morals and a normal sense of shame, that he could never truly be close to his parents. They didn’t seem to care whether passing their unsavory habits onto him would affect his future. If he were greedy at every turn, recklessly demanding things, would he still deserve even a fraction of his Female Master’s pity among Gu Weilan’s many Beast Husbands, all of whom boasted outstanding family backgrounds and Beast Ranks?

He didn’t think his Mother was incapable of understanding this; she simply didn’t care. His Mother only cared about whether he could bring her more benefits. As for his Father, caught between his son and his Female Master, he ultimately cared more for Shen Zhiqiu.

"Hurry and go see your Female Master, and say some sweet words," Shen Zhiqiu said, waving her hand dismissively. "Don’t be tight-lipped like you are at home. No female likes that!"

Glancing at the Incubation Pod cradled in her Beast Husband’s arms, she waved her hand again. "Or why don’t you take your Father to your room to soak in the bath liquid? Lest you think I might confiscate his share!"

With the corners of his eyes slightly red, Shen Mianzhou said nothing and led his Father back to his room.

Only then did his Father speak softly. "Don’t listen to your Mother and ask your Female Master for things. If your cousins really want that bath liquid, I will guide them to buy it themselves!

"You’re already married to your Female Master, and she’s a good person. Don’t trade her affection for material goods; feelings cannot withstand such depletion.

"I can’t help you much, so you must carefully nurture your own relationship. Your Mother... she’s just a bit mercenary. It’s also my fault for not being able to provide a better life for her. Please don’t blame her."

Shen Mianzhou’s heart felt warm, yet damp. It was like wearing wet clothes in the dead of winter—taking them off would leave him freezing, but keeping them on provided no warmth at all.

He took the Incubation Pod from his Father and urged him to go use the bath liquid. However, noticing that his Father seemed intent on saving it—perhaps intending to hand it over to their clan—Shen Mianzhou couldn’t help but speak up.

"Father, please use it. I will ask my Female Master for another set of bath liquid so you can give it to the clan.

"If you use it to improve your bloodline and physique, perhaps you can help Mother conceive again. If this pregnancy yields a younger sister, the clan’s resources will naturally tilt in our family’s favor.

"If you trust my Female Master, I suggest you use the Incubation Pod to conceive a cub with Mother. That way, I can ask her for better Cultivation Liquid, ensuring that my future sister will have excellent potential. Once she grows up, she can marry several HighRank Beast Husbands, strengthening the Dream-Eating Tapir Clan and potentially elevating our family’s small business to middle-class status.

"If you simply hand this bath liquid over to the clan, will the benefits they reap have anything to do with our family? Our family needs to become stronger before we can further assist the clan.

"Besides, while you’re staying here, you are the only one by Mother’s side. This is your chance to have another bloodline cub of your own. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come!"

His Father pondered this for a moment and, agreeing with Shen Mianzhou’s reasoning, took the bath liquid and headed to the washroom.

For the next few days, Gu Weilan’s villa echoed daily with the shouts of Beastmen enduring the bone-scraping agony of the purification process. Fortunately, because the rooms were equipped with soundproofing systems, it didn’t disrupt her daily life.

After a brief stay, Gu Weilan set off with Zhan Heng and Xie Jing, heading for the White Tiger Clan Land.

The White Tiger Clan Territory was a full seven thousand kilometers away from the Central Beastman Academy where Gu Weilan studied.

The group departed in the early morning and didn’t arrive at the starship landing pad on the outskirts of the White Tiger Clan Territory until the afternoon.

The moment Gu Weilan stepped off the Starship, an extended Hovercar sent by the White Tiger Clan arrived to pick them up. She frequently rode Hovercars in the past, though they were usually ordinary models she took when purchasing supplies at the Seed Store near the academy. However, the extended Hovercar before her—despite its understated, unostentatious exterior—boasted an interior so meticulously crafted, opulent, and refined that it truly opened her eyes.

Zhan Heng pursed his lips, catching the gleam of envy in his Female Master’s eyes. He had previously asked if she wanted to buy a Hovercar for her daily commute. At the time, however, she rarely needed to go out; she only bought a Small Shuttle for missions and declined his proposal. Looking back, he realized he hadn’t handled it well.

He wondered why he even bothered to ask. He should have just bought one! It wasn’t as if he couldn’t afford it. Why should his Female Master be left envying others?

Opening his Light Brain, Zhan Heng immediately placed an order and messaged Housekeeper Zhan Ci, instructing him to inspect and sign for the delivery at the villa.

After a fifty-minute ride in the Hovercar, Gu Weilan and her two Beast Husbands finally arrived at the main entrance of the White Tiger Clan Land.

Gu Weilan arched an eyebrow slightly. This estate was almost as massive as the Central Beastman Academy!

At the entrance, two colossal White Tiger stone statues squatted on either side. They guarded the gateway with the imposing majesty of ancient divine beasts, their aura in no way inferior to the Guardian Stone Lions she had seen outside the Royal Garden on Blue Star.

The main gate itself was even more breathtaking. Modeled after the iconic three-arched paifang of the central academy, it towered twenty meters high and was constructed entirely from alternating blocks of solid Moyu and Han Baiyu.
