Chapter 149: So Shameless?

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: So Shameless?

Mrs. Rong pressed her lips together, the bloodshot redness in her eyes still not fading.

"There’s no other way! We just don’t have the manpower! The Seventh Army, the Twelfth Army, the Nineteenth Army, and the 36th Army were all set up!

"Where am I supposed to find a batch of Beastmen to escort all those suspected to be parasitized back? On the way back, they definitely wouldn’t be able to take a dedicated escort Starship.

"A single Starship carries tens of thousands of Beastmen. What if they come into contact with even more of our people? What if it’s like a virus, cross-infecting and spreading more and more?

"So... I can only rely on you!"

Old Mrs. Bai pursed her lips. The wrinkles on her usually radiant face seemed to deepen in an instant. She gritted her teeth. "I’ll do my best.

"Initially, we thought that by transferring the properties and settling everything quickly, it wouldn’t look like we were dangling a reward to force her to help us handle this.

"But look at us now. There are actually so many that slipped through the net."

Mrs. Rong sighed. "I know. Just try to speak nicely with the Weilan Female. Don’t use the pending handover procedures as leverage.

"While you’re at it, see if we can file an appeal with the Beast God Matching System. Back then, the cubs from our two families weren’t even themselves. They’re mostly recovered now, right?

"When the parasitic insect clan fought them, they knocked off their Light Brains and cut out the Light Brain implants from beneath the skin behind their ears.

"This is entirely the Insect Clan’s doing! We can’t just lose our perfectly good great-granddaughter-in-law without demanding an explanation.

"Going to the Beast God Matching System to appeal isn’t meant to blackmail the female Gu Weilan using the matching and the opportunity to form a bond as leverage.

"So when you talk to her, whatever you do, don’t use the tone of an elder scolding a granddaughter!"

Old Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes in a very ungraceful manner. "I’m not stupid. I recently looked into the Weilan Female’s background. Anyone who can invent Cultivation Liquid to cure Genetic Collapse and the Bloodline Purification Bath to boost Beastmen’s Fertility—two whole patents—is not someone to be underestimated!

"Why would I speak to her with the attitude of an elder scolding a granddaughter? We’re trying to build a good relationship, not make enemies.

"There’s just one problem. When I was investigating the Weilan Female, I found that a male named Xuanshuo from the Black Ape Beast Clan has some issues."

Mrs. Rong frowned. "What issues?"

Old Mrs. Bai shook her head. "He’s the only one who went to see the Weilan Female but ended up having the match dissolved.

"The Beast Husbands the Weilan Female matched with were all men completely out of her league at the time. It feels a bit like the Female Emperors of the past. If one didn’t know better, they’d think she was a Female Emperor who stumbled upon a miraculous encounter, too.

"I digress. After my investigation, I found that the Weilan Female even kept and formed a bond with the male Shen Mianzhou, whose conditions were terrible in all aspects. Yet, she dissolved the match with the male Xuanshuo, whom she had spent quite some time with.

"Furthermore, she used her patents as leverage to file an injunction forbidding the male Xuanshuo from mentioning her or approaching her.

"This shows that there must be some history between her and the male Xuanshuo. And now, the male Xuanshuo is in the throes of regret, desperately trying to win her back."

Mrs. Rong gave her a look akin to an old woman squinting at a phone on the subway, utterly bewildered. "What are you trying to say with all this rambling?"

Old Mrs. Bai closed her eyes briefly. "Look at you, impatient as always.

"In the beginning, the male Xuanshuo paid out of his own pocket to meddle in the Weilan Female’s sales channels. However, the Weilan Female ignored him. ℴ

"I’m worried that once this madman finds out we’re looking for the Weilan Female, he’ll run to the front lines and cause trouble for you!"

Mrs. Rong frowned, her jaw clenching. "Does he think the front lines are a place to mess around? What a lunatic!

"Alright, I’m aware of the situation now. Remember to explain the severity of the matter to the Weilan Female. Hopefully, she’ll agree to come to the logistics department at the front lines to help."

Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Rong chatted about a few other things before finally hanging up the Light Brain call.

Meanwhile, as soon as Gu Weilan arrived at the villa, she heard Pomegranate Seed’s broadcast:

[Congratulations to the Host on the birth of a Starlight Rabbit Clan male cub, earning 1,000 points.]

[Congratulations to the Host on the birth of an atavistic Hou Clan female cub, earning 200,000 points. Rewarding the Host with the "Strength to Uproot Mountains" Talent Skill.]

She wondered, "Wait, hold on a second. What on earth is ’Strength to Uproot Mountains’?"

Gu Weilan was confused and greatly shocked. Besides, wasn’t the Hou one of the nine legendary sons of the dragon?

[Congratulations to the Host on the birth of an atavistic Treasure Hunting Mouse Clan female cub, earning 200,000 points. Rewarding the Host with the "Treasure Intuition" Talent Skill.]

[Congratulations to the Host on the birth of an atavistic Mushroom Dog male cub, earning 100,000 points. Rewarding the Host with Luck +1.]

[Congratulations to the Host on the birth of a Starlight Rabbit Clan male cub, earning 1,000 points.]

The moment Gu Weilan stepped into the villa, the robot butler reported to her, "Master, your Beast Husband Lorenzo Snow is currently giving birth to cubs."

Gu Weilan nodded slightly and hurriedly ran upstairs.

The moment she saw Lorenzo, Gu Weilan almost didn’t recognize him. Lorenzo’s light golden mullet seemed to have turned dry and brittle in an instant, the strands no longer full of their usual luster. His inherently noble aura had faded, making him look like a down-and-out, ruined young master. His heterochromic eyes—the left blood-red and the right lake-blue—seemed devoid of life.

Gu Weilan rushed forward and gently embraced him. "Lorenzo, I’m back. Are you okay?"

If it weren’t for the rise and fall of Lorenzo’s chest, Gu Weilan would have almost thought he was dead.

Lorenzo rested his chin on Gu Weilan’s shoulder. His usually clear, youthful voice had become hoarse and low. "I’m fine...

"Did your trip go smoothly?"

Gu Weilan kissed the hair by Lorenzo’s ear. "It went quite smoothly. I got a bit greedy and took care of all the parasitic insect clan on the remaining parasitized Beastmen in one go.

"I originally thought I could rush back as soon as possible to accompany you while you properly gave birth to the cubs!"

Lorenzo hugged Gu Weilan, rubbing his head against the crook of her neck. "It’s okay. You made it.

"I’m just really tired. And it hurts so much. I feel like the meridians in my body are being shattered inch by inch."

Gu Weilan gently rubbed Lorenzo’s back to soothe him. "That’s what happens when you have to transfer a massive amount of energy all at once. It’s okay, you’re going to be okay.

"I formulated a medicinal bath specifically for this. You’ll be fine after soaking in it for thirty days."

Lorenzo whined softly, asking, "Did you formulate this medicine just for me?"

Xie Jing’s gray, phoenix-shaped eyes lit up. He had channeled a massive amount of energy last time and felt as though his meridians were nearly severed as well. Could it be that the Female Master had seen all his suffering and that was why she...

"When I saw Xie Jing giving birth to his cubs last time, he was in so much pain. I started wondering how I could reduce your pain, which is how I ended up researching and creating this medicinal bath formula," Gu Weilan said softly to comfort Lorenzo.

Lorenzo’s Mother, who had been affectionately cuddling her granddaughter, suddenly froze upon hearing Gu Weilan’s words.

She looked over at Lorenzo’s uncle, wondering if Lorenzo’s Female Master was truly this shameless. The male standing behind her was Xie Jing, wasn’t he? It was bad enough that she denied him an official status, but to openly claim that watching his agony had inspired her—because she didn’t want her own Beast Husband to suffer the same fate—to invent a new medicinal bath?
