Chapter 163: Chapter 163: I, Lu Xuyin, Am Just Lucky

When Gu Weilan went to work at the Medical Hospital in the morning, she saw Ji Yanqing pacing at the entrance. She originally wanted to pretend not to see him, but Ji Yanqing took the initiative to approach her and greet her, "Weilan Female! Good morning!"

Gu Weilan stopped in her tracks, looking at Ji Yanqing calmly. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, replying in a grudge-like vocal fry, "Good~ morn~ing~ Com~man~der~ Ji~"

Ji Yanqing’s scalp went numb. He closed his eyes and apologized softly, "I’m sorry. I was... I was too much of a jerk before."

Lu Xuyin had originally wanted to come over and greet his Female Master before heading to his rehabilitation training. As a result, when he saw Ji Yanqing and heard his Female Master’s hellish vocal fry, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. After all, he had long remembered that this malicious, self-serving idea seemed to have been his!

Gu Weilan looked at Ji Yanqing expressionlessly, not really wanting to speak, mostly because she realized that using vocal fry hurt her throat.

Ji Yanqing couldn’t help but say, "Last night, I saw you didn’t go to eat, so I brought you some food. Did you eat it?"

Gu Weilan nodded slightly. She took the washed lunchbox out of her Space Button and handed it to Ji Yanqing. "Thank you. But don’t do this again in the future. I don’t like wasting food, so I had no choice but to eat everything you brought. But I don’t like the dishes you picked out."

She then added, "As for the cost of the meal, you can just deduct it from my Beast Husband Lu Xuyin’s salary."

Ji Yanqing pursed his lips, his face turning a bit pale.

Gu Weilan frowned. "Look, it’s not like we’re on standing-around-and-chatting terms, right? What exactly do you want?"

Looking a little wronged, Ji Yanqing said softly, "The legion’s medical soldiers and the relevant research departments haven’t developed equipment to accurately detect the Parasitic Insect Clan. I have some comrades who used the detection equipment. The machines went off, but when the Priests sang prayers to them, they showed no reaction."

Gu Weilan nodded slightly, only to hear Ji Yanqing ask in a low voice, "Could I trouble you to check them?"

Taking a deep breath, Gu Weilan asked, "The Medical Hospital hasn’t assigned them a number, so you want to see if I can let them cut in line here?"

Ji Yanqing tapped his Light Brain. "Can I add you as a friend on the Light Brain? They are all willing to pay Star Coins. If you find it troublesome, I can collect their Star Coins and transfer them to you all at once. If you don’t find it troublesome, I’ll—"

At this moment, Lu Xuyin walked over. He gently wrapped an arm around Gu Weilan’s waist and looked at Ji Yanqing. "My Female Master is already exhausted every day. If they cut in line like this, it will affect her rest."

Gu Weilan didn’t show much expression. She was no longer so desperate to make money, so she didn’t want to overwork herself. She looked at Ji Yanqing and replied in a businesslike manner, "I’ll talk to Vice Admiral Wu about this issue. However, based on what you said, your comrades’ symptoms sound very much like a psychological issue. I think it’s highly likely that your comrades aren’t the only ones experiencing this. Many other Beastmen in the frontline legions probably have the same problem. This matter really shouldn’t be ignored, but I have to speak with Vice Admiral Wu before making a decision."

Ji Yanqing could only nod. He took a step back and said softly, "Thank you for being willing to help. I’ll let you get back to work."

Gu Weilan nodded slightly, took Lu Xuyin’s hand, and entered the elevator.

"Don’t say things like that in front of Ji Yanqing in the future. What if he turns around and tells his comrades what you said? How would you conduct yourself in the legion then?" Gu Weilan said softly.

The corner of Lu Xuyin’s mouth turned up bit by bit. The fact that his Female Master was considering this for him meant she cared about him!

His crisp voice was filled with delight. "It’s fine, Female Master! I have the Dragon Clan backing me! I’m not the kind of idiot who doesn’t know how to use his family’s resources! I’m great at throwing my family’s weight around!" he said proudly.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, wanting to laugh a little. "Aren’t you afraid that even if they don’t dare cause you trouble openly, they’ll play dirty tricks on you in private?"

Lu Xuyin grew even prouder. With his hands on his hips and his chest puffed out, he said, "Not only do I have the power and influence of the Dragon Clan behind me, but I also have an amazing Female Master! Female Master, I searched for your Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid on the Star Network."

He then gave a thumbs-up. "It’s seriously awesome!"

Gu Weilan raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t paid attention to these matters in a long time. She was only responsible for providing the patent and signing the contract. The subsequent production lines, packaging, marketing, sales channels, and everything else were all handed over to the academy and the Shi Family to handle! Therefore, she wasn’t clear on how they were managing the later stages.

From Branch Dean Shan Minghui to Professors Andrew and Jiang Mingzhu, their recent messages to her Light Brain all expressed the hope that she would absolutely stay safe. They had seen the news from the frontline, and the situation wasn’t very good. They hadn’t told her anything about the state of the production line; they merely kept urging her never to go to the frontline again.

However, Gu Weilan still planned to make another trip to the frontline. She just needed to treat some Beastman generals who had been severely affected by the Parasitic Insect Clan.

Seeing Gu Weilan’s bewildered expression, as if she didn’t know why he would say that, Lu Xuyin opened his Light Brain. He directly shared the screen with her. "Look, many professors from the Central Beastman Academy have personally stepped in, using data to prove the benefits of using the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid."

Gu Weilan looked at the exaggerated advertising narrative; it really looked like one of those bizarre Blue Star T Country commercials! With a complicated expression, she forced an awkward smile. "They’ve already put it into production? Haha... That’s great!"

Lu Xuyin accompanied Gu Weilan to the door of the ward before looking at her with some reluctance. "We used to be together every single day. Now that I have to be apart from you for a whole day, I’m definitely going to miss you."

The tips of Gu Weilan’s ears turned slightly red. Looking at Lu Xuyin, whose own ears and cheeks were also tinged with red, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.

In response, Lu Xuyin hooked an arm around her waist and kissed her back fiercely. Although Lu Xuyin was a novice and their teeth clashed together, his fierce yet somewhat cautious manner still pleased Gu Weilan. When the kiss ended, Lu Xuyin couldn’t help but prop one hand against the wall behind Gu Weilan, his other hand tightly cradling the back of her head.

"Female Master, I feel a little dizzy... I, I..." Lu Xuyin panted, not knowing what he wanted to say for a moment.

Gu Weilan gently patted his back. "Next time we kiss, you just need to learn how to breathe. Alright, I’m going in to see my patients! Go busy yourself with your own things."

Only then did Lu Xuyin reluctantly let go of Gu Weilan.

Gu Weilan walked into the ward, and just as she did, Shi Lingfeng rushed out of the crowded elevator.

He glared at Lu Xuyin with an unkind expression. "You sent a large group of soldiers to swarm my family’s material collection points, peddling centipedes, scorpions, and blister beetles, all just to stall me and keep me from seeing Female Master this morning?"

Lu Xuyin shrugged, raising an eyebrow and curling his lip. "Don’t you go slandering me! I obviously had good intentions! How did I become the bad guy in your mouth? Who knew that large capital flows at your family’s decentralized collection points would require you to check them personally? Can you really blame me for that?"
