Chapter 147: The Dog-Like Cub

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Dog-Like Cub

The cubs were filled with joy the moment they caught their Mother’s scent! It had been so long since they last smelled that familiar fragrance, making them exceptionally excited!

When the two Mo Qilin cubs saw Gu Weilan, they were as happy as little puppies. They hopped up on their hind legs, pawing at the air with their front claws, and bounced around to show their delight.

Azure Qilin Gu Zhanchang and Azure Jade Qilin Zhanshao were also thrilled. However, for some reason, the two cubs with ancestral reversion bloodlines kept their little rears sticking up and their upper bodies pressed low to the ground, their tiny tails wagging crazily.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips. She wondered why her cubs always seemed to act so much like dogs.

Golden Qilin Gu Jingyuan, the little female Mole Clan cub Gu Jingqian, and Fire Qilin Zhan Hua had already grown somewhat short and chubby. They were equally excited, whining and whimpering endlessly.

Yes, after discussions within the Zhan family, Xie Jing’s three cubs had finally been named.

Originally, they only wanted the male Golden Qilin cub to take the Zhan surname, while the female Fire Qilin cub would take Gu Weilan’s surname. However, since Gu Weilan demanded that the Zhan family support her new businesses, she allowed the little Fire Qilin to take the Zhan surname instead.

Gu Weilan could tell that Zhan Heng’s Qilin Clan possessed considerable strength. Yet, among the six elders, three were only outwardly obedient to him while secretly working against him.

Gu Weilan had told Zhan Heng directly, "Since an elder position will definitely be given to a female if one is available, then next time, you just need to have two more female Qilin cubs."

Zhan Heng immediately understood her implication at the time. Gu Weilan wanted their cubs to slowly grow up and directly replace those specific elders!

However, these were matters for the cubs to fight for on their own once they grew up. For now, as the cubs’ Mother, Gu Weilan only needed to lay out a few preliminary plans. She felt that the little ones were still far too cute, and she couldn’t bear to see them grow up too quickly!

She hugged the little guys and kissed them one by one, then went downstairs to check on Gu Shiye, Gu Shibai, Shi E, and Shi Jiao.

Gu Shibai was covered in pure white fur. Sticking his little tongue out, he looked just like a Samoyed puppy.

Gu Weilan buried her face in the cub’s little tummy, giving him a deep, affectionate nuzzle.

However, Shi Jiao, the female Chiling cub with an ancestral reversion bloodline who looked somewhat like a native pastoral dog, won even more of Gu Weilan’s favor.

The little female cub always loved to rub her head against Gu Weilan. She would rub against her legs, nuzzle her hands, and whenever possible, rub against her face. Who couldn’t love such an affectionate little cub? Gu Weilan felt like her heart was melting from their cuteness!

Seeing that Gu Weilan no longer disliked the female Mole Clan cub as much, Lorenzo finally felt relieved. After all, among his five cub embryos, one possessed an extremely high concentration of Mole Clan bloodline.

After spending time with the cubs, Lorenzo wrapped an arm around Gu Weilan and led her back to the bedroom. Gu Weilan couldn’t help but ask, "Why is it that your Starlight Rabbit Clan has adult females, yet the elders are all male?"

Lorenzo gently held Gu Weilan, letting her find a comfortable position in his arms. Twirling her long black hair around his slender fingers, he softly explained, "Beast Clans that have better preserved their heritage possess a trial ground.

"In other words, a testing ground.

"For example, the Sea Clan’s trial ground requires testing the use of Beast Ranks. This is because ancient legends claim that the Beast God originated from the Sea Clan.

"Ancient murals also state that the Sea Clan is the original Beast Clan from which all other Beast Clans derived.

"In the past, other Beast Clans followed the Sea Clan’s example and created their own trial grounds.

"However, as time passed and eras changed, the content tested in these trial grounds underwent various transformations."

Lorenzo kissed the top of Gu Weilan’s head and caught her hand, which was tracing circles on his chest. He whispered, "Female Master, stop teasing.

"Our Starlight Rabbit Clan’s trial ground used to focus on the use of Beast Ranks as well. But later, gradually, the focus shifted.

"It now places more emphasis on testing the Starlight Rabbit Clan’s descendants on their grasp of social relations and diplomacy with other Beast Clans, as well as their knowledge of network maintenance."

Gu Weilan frowned. "If that’s the case, I feel like... the curriculum is a bit too unbalanced, isn’t it?"

Lorenzo nodded slightly. "I think so too. However, I’ve never been very interested in the clan’s internal affairs, so I didn’t bother with it."

Gu Weilan remained silent. Lorenzo might not have cared before, but that didn’t mean he would stay indifferent in the future. She had seen it for herself—among the five fetuses in Lorenzo’s Incubation Pod, two were female cubs!

Lorenzo himself was male and had never thought about fighting for power, so whatever the tests were, he viewed them with an aloof, none-of-my-business attitude. But what if his daughters turned out to be Starlight Rabbit female cubs?

Despite Lorenzo lacking any weathered sense of maturity, he still spent three to four hours every single day channeling energy to the cubs! Moreover, in order to make the cubs feel close to him, he would continuously tell them educational bedtime stories while transmitting that energy.

Gu Weilan had seen how devoted Lorenzo was to the cubs. It almost made her shudder just watching him. Reading aloud for three hours every day—that was a massive amount of sunk cost in terms of effort.

Just wait and see. Once his cubs were born, she didn’t believe for a second that Lorenzo wouldn’t start planning for their future. Parents who truly loved their children would always plan far ahead for them. She considered herself to be quite cold and detached, yet even she couldn’t help but scheme for the Qilin cubs! So what about Lorenzo?

As Gu Weilan pondered this, she eventually drifted off to sleep.

Lorenzo pulled the light blanket up, covering Gu Weilan’s back securely. He gently pressed a kiss to her forehead. He could tell that his Female Master was dropping hints and genuinely taking the cubs’ future into consideration.

A smile touched Lorenzo’s lips. The reason he had brought his uncle here was precisely so they could work together to change the Starlight Rabbit Clan’s current testing system, which only focused on network security knowledge. After all, his uncle had used the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid. If his aunt wanted to obtain more of the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid, she would definitely be willing to bear another litter of cubs for his uncle.

Lorenzo had asked his uncle to help him channel energy into the Incubation Pod just to dissuade him from forcing his aunt to conceive naturally. If his uncle and aunt also used an Incubation Pod, paired with the specialized Cultivation Liquid prepared by his Female Master, Gu Weilan, why would his uncle ever have to worry about not having female cubs? From the very first moment Lorenzo saw that there were female cubs in his Incubation Pod, he had already thought everything through.

Looking at Gu Weilan’s soundly sleeping profile, Lorenzo gradually drifted into dreamland as well.

He slept deeply until he felt his Female Master seemingly lighting fires all over his body. Only then did he compliantly let out an uncontrollable moan, pulling his Female Master in for some morning exercise.

Lorenzo lifted his head and kissed Gu Weilan, thinking, "If only time could stand still and make this moment eternal." Female Master Gu Weilan’s face was filled with a look of pure love for him, and he was desperately trying to prove just how intense his feelings for her were.

Unfortunately, their time together was short. Gu Weilan checked on Lorenzo’s Incubation Pod and Shen Mianzhou’s Incubation Pod. She prepared Ancestor Reversion Culture Fluid and High-grade Culture Fluid for the two of them. After reminding them to focus on nurturing their cubs with peace of mind, Gu Weilan took Zhan Heng and Xie Jing and left the academy once again, heading toward the White Tiger Clan’s territory.
