Chapter 158: Chapter 158: I Am the One Who Stands Shoulder to Shoulder With the Female Master

Shi Lingfeng felt Gu Weilan pushing against him in his arms.

Although she didn’t use much force, his chest heaved uncontrollably as he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

"Lanlan, Female Master... I know. If you really don’t like it, just push me away hard."

After Shi Lingfeng said this, he offered a more urgent and turbulent kiss. The heat in the mere ten-square-meter changing room skyrocketed instantly.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were set so that from the outside, only a pink mist could be seen.

Meanwhile, Shi Lingfeng whispered in Gu Weilan’s ear, panting slightly, "Lanlan, I’ve been away for so long. Did you miss me?

"Not going to speak...? Then I’ll find your answer myself.

"Did you know that the Gray Wolf Clan actually has a very strong possessiveness over their Female Master?"

Gu Weilan bit Shi Lingfeng’s finger and shook her head slightly.

"You don’t know? Then let me show you personally just how scorching the deep-rooted vices of the Gray Wolf Clan truly are."

Hot water continuously poured down from the showerhead in the bathroom.

After the intense battle, Shi Lingfeng held a deeply slumbering Gu Weilan, whose cheeks were slightly flushed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Lu Xuyin sat on the sofa outside the bedroom, his eyes red with anger.

On the coffee table rested a burgundy-colored potion. He clenched his fists, but eventually picked up the potion and downed it in one gulp.

On the Light Brain, Shi Lingfeng had kindly sent a private message to Lu Xuyin: "Don’t take the Bloodline Purification Potion outside to drink. After drinking it, remember to soak in the bathtub. Otherwise, you’ll dirty the room."

Lu Xuyin clenched his jaw and tossed the empty potion vial into the trash can. Only then did he rip open the sealed zipper of his combat training uniform. Enduring the gradually rising, intense pain, he entered the bathroom.

And that bastard Shi Lingfeng hadn’t even turned on the ventilation system. The entire bathroom reeked of intimacy.

Lu Xuyin turned on the ventilation system, gritted his teeth against the severe pain, and got into the bathtub that was currently filling with water. He could no longer tell what hurt more: the sensation of every inch of his meridians being reconstructed, or the pain in his heart.

Lu Xuyin hadn’t actually planned on consummating their marriage today. Having hosted his comrades’ relatives in the afternoon, and having seen the despairing, hollow-eyed expressions of his healed captain and the captains of two other squads, he wasn’t really in the mood for anything else.

However, just because he didn’t want to do it didn’t mean he could allow Shi Lingfeng to steal his and his Female Master’s wedding night!

When Gu Weilan woke up the next day, Lu Xuyin had already brought breakfast back and placed it on the table in the living room.

Looking at the bloodshot veins in Lu Xuyin’s eyes, Gu Weilan felt no desire to ease the awkwardness. She knew that Shi Lingfeng’s coaxing yesterday—claiming that Lu Xuyin definitely wasn’t in the mood after meeting his comrades’ friends and family—was just an excuse.

But she had indeed tacitly consented to Shi Lingfeng’s actions.

Recently at the Medical Hospital, she had witnessed countless life-and-death partings. Although the interstellar beast world was highly developed, Beastmen who were severely injured beyond a certain point simply could not be saved. Watching these tragedies every day inevitably brought up her memories of the Apocalypse.

It wasn’t just that Shi Lingfeng wanted her; she too had needed such a passionate affair to release her stress. Therefore, she didn’t feel the need to explain anything.

However, looking at Lu Xuyin, she couldn’t help but ask, "Your Seventh Army has suffered heavy casualties. The bodies of many high-ranking Beastmen have been invaded by the parasitic insect clan.

"I suspect there might be members of the parasitic insect clan on the corpses of the Insect Clan that died in battle. The infection didn’t just come from the fake Bai Yanli and the fake Rong Hua Jin!"

Lu Xuyin cast a deep glance at Shi Lingfeng before focusing his attention on Gu Weilan. "Yes, we made the same deduction yesterday afternoon. We’ve already dispatched a few Priests to follow the soldiers to the front lines and assess the situation."

Gu Weilan pursed her lips and looked at Lu Xuyin. "I plan to treat the Beastmen who are in urgent need of medical attention, and then I’ll apply to go to the front lines."

Her Devouring Life Talent Skill could convert the vitality of trees into energy, which served as nourishment to increase her Beast Rank. Thus, if she encountered Insect Clan members that weren’t overwhelmingly powerful, she could completely treat them as nourishment.

On top of that, the Star Dust Light Blade she awakened at the Light Element Sixth Rank compressed Light Element Beast Rank Energy into blades as thin as strands of hair, allowing her to precisely slice and attack her opponents.

Meanwhile, the Holy Light Healing she awakened at the Rank Seventh Beast Level was also somewhat helpful for treating superficial flesh wounds. 𝙛𝓇ⅇ

At the Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank, she hadn’t awakened any Beast Rank Talent Skills, but the ones she currently possessed were more than enough. If it still wasn’t enough, she could simply purchase an Awakened Talent Technique from the System Mall.

The Blast Poison Pod she awakened at the Wood Element Seventh Rank was also an offensive Talent Skill. It could rapidly grow the explosive plants unique to the Deserted Star. Once the seed pods fell to the ground, they would automatically detonate and release toxic spores, making it ideal for area-of-effect attacks.

Her Ice Element Beast Rank and Space Element Beast Rank were both purely for support.

Lu Xuyin blinked. Unlike Shi Lingfeng, whose eyes were filled with tension and disapproval, he showed no such hesitation. He only felt the excitement of fighting side-by-side with Gu Weilan.

"What day are you planning to set off with me? We won’t even need to go to the very front lines. We just need to follow behind the medical team. While they’re collecting the Insect Clan corpses, we can check if there are any parasitic insect clan eggs on them!"

Gu Weilan shook her head gently. "No, we might need to go a bit deeper than that.

"The Insect Clan is the attacking side, anyway. They want to invade our planet and devour all of our resources completely. We just need to go to the areas where their attacks are relatively weak."

Shi Lingfeng pursed his lips. Knowing he couldn’t talk Gu Weilan out of it, he could only pin all his hopes on Vice Admiral Wu.

After finishing her meal, Gu Weilan went straight to find Vice Admiral Wu.

Vice Admiral Wu remained silent for a moment, not immediately objecting to Gu Weilan’s proposal. He looked at Gu Weilan and pondered for a long time before saying, "Actually, we had this idea a few days ago. However, after communicating with your Pharmacy Professor, Andrew, we learned that you haven’t taken any combat-related courses yet.

"You haven’t studied these things systematically, and you’re very unfamiliar with the Insect Clan’s methods of attack. Because of this, it’ll be difficult for you to guard against the tactics they excel at. If you don’t even know how to dodge, it’s incredibly easy for something to go wrong!"

Gu Weilan couldn’t exactly tell him that combat instincts were already etched into her very soul. Many people said that when you became proficient at something, you developed muscle memory. In reality, Gu Weilan didn’t see it that way. What reacted a step faster than muscle memory was undoubtedly soul memory.

However, Gu Weilan wasn’t arrogant enough to assume that these interstellar Insect Clan members were exactly the same as the Apocalypse Mutant Beasts she had encountered on the Blue Star.

She just nodded slightly and cautiously negotiated with Vice Admiral Wu. "Then, could Lu Xuyin spar with me for a week? If my skills pass muster, can his squad take me to the front lines?"

Vice Admiral Wu’s aged yet spirited eyes looked sharply at Gu Weilan. He immediately gave her a military salute.

"At a time like this, I’ll skip the empty pleasantries. To be honest, if Weilan Female can quickly find out whether the Insect Clan’s front lines are utilizing the parasitic insect clan, it might be of immense help to us!

"Our attack strategies against the Insect Clan might completely change as a result."

Gu Weilan returned Vice Admiral Wu’s salute. Only after finishing the salute did she say, "I believe that every creature has its natural predator. During the time I’ve spent devouring the parasitic insect clan from the bodies of the Beastmen, I’ve vaguely begun to realize something else.

"I still need to go to the front lines and take a careful look. There’s a major characteristic differentiating the areas where they attack us heavily from the areas where their attacks are weak: the areas with weak attacks have an abundance of Fly agaric."

Vice Admiral Wu’s pupils quaked. How had he not thought of that?! How could he have missed such a detail!

He nodded slightly. "Then focus on your sparring with Captain Xiao Lu. You must train hard! Only when you can defend against at least half of Captain Xiao Lu’s attacks will I approve your deployment!"

The corners of Gu Weilan’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile, while a sudden, inexplicable chill ran down Lu Xuyin’s spine.

She nodded slightly, bade farewell to Vice Admiral Wu, and entered the patient ward once more.
