Chapter 172: She Doesn’t Want You Anymore!

Lu Xuyin spoke while quietly observing Gu Weilan’s expression.

Seeing that she wasn’t repulsed by the mention of Ji Yanqing, he continued, “Zhan Heng, Xie Jing, and Shen Mianzhou have already been treated in the Healing Pod. However, their neural self-recovery might still take some time.”

Gu Weilan nodded. “They stopped replying to my messages a week ago. I already knew something was wrong.”

“When will they be back?” she asked with a frown, looking at Lu Xuyin.

Lu Xuyin pursed his lips. “It’s hard to say, because the wormhole opened by the Insect Clan hasn’t disappeared yet.”

Gu Weilan gave a slight nod. “I’m going to prepare some medicinal bath liquids for them. Can you express-deliver it to them through a safe method?”

“We have military supply express delivery. We can send it directly through the legion,” Lu Xuyin agreed.

Gu Weilan turned around and went straight to the laboratory.

Seeing that she was truly getting busy, Lu Xuyin finally opened his Light Brain.

In the Light Brain video, Zhan Heng and Xie Jing were still recovering slowly.

One had his chest burst open from a Devouring Energy overdose, only to be sneak-attacked by the Insect Clan from behind.

Meanwhile, Xie Jing had stepped in to save his brother. Blocking the Insect Clan’s ambush, he had been sprayed with venom, suffering severe corrosion from his face all the way down to his chest.

As for Shen Mianzhou, half of his shoulder blade had been bitten off by the Insect Clan’s mouthparts while he was trying to save a comrade from the Hunting Team.

He, too, had just emerged from the Healing Pod.

They had only let Lu Xuyin tell Gu Weilan that their conditions were improving. They didn’t want her to know the gruesome details of what had actually happened to them.

Gu Weilan only asked Pomegranate Seed, “Can the Body Refining Bath help them recover faster?”

Pomegranate Seed thought for a moment. “You need to send them both the Initial Stage Body Refining Bath and the Mid level Body Refining Bath.”

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, already guessing what they had gone through.

She had soaked in the Body Refining Bath and absorbed Devouring Vital Energy, and she knew the agonizing pain of energy stretching every cell in her body.

Zhan Heng had never soaked in that thing before.

Gu Weilan quickly prepared the Body Refining Medicine Bath for Zhan Heng, Xie Jing, and Shen Mianzhou.

After some thought, she also prepared two sets of her custom Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid for Ji Yanqing.

When Gu Weilan finished all this and came out, she received a message from Zhuoma. “My sister from another mister, are you still going to the Beast God Matching Center?”

Gu Weilan thought about it. “Yes! I’m going right now!”

Lu Xuyin was still in the kitchen, researching what delicious meals to cook for Gu Weilan, when he suddenly felt her plant a fragrant kiss on his cheek.

Dropping a single sentence, she vanished like a whirlwind. “My handsome Beast Husband, help me take good care of the cubs at home. I’m off to the Beast God Matching Center! Mwah!”

Lu Xuyin was still basking in the moment, happily rubbing the lingering warmth on his cheek with a goofy grin.

A moment later, Lorenzo finished taking care of the little cubs. Looking completely drained of life, he sighed, “I really envy Samuel Riel!

“He took the two cubs who can transform into Sea Horse Merfolk Clan cubs and returned to the Sea Clan. He won’t come back until the cubs can adapt to the aquatic environment! He doesn’t have to suffer the hardship of raising cubs at all!”

Seeing Lu Xuyin hugging a basin of marinated Star Beast Meat and smiling like an idiot, Lorenzo couldn’t help but ask, “Hey—where did the Female Master go?”

Lu Xuyin finally snapped back to reality. “Ah? She said…”

As he recalled what she had just told him, his expression drastically changed.

“She went to the Beast God Matching Center!”

Lorenzo gave a slight nod, then looked at him in confusion. “That was bound to happen sooner or later! The Female Master only applied for a matching delay because of her injuries. It couldn’t be postponed indefinitely.”

Lu Xuyin pursed his lips and glared at Lorenzo.

Lorenzo deliberately put on a nonchalant look as he delivered the most piercing blow, “You’re not… still a virgin, are you?”

Lu Xuyin’s face darkened, and he ignored him.

Lorenzo spread his hands. “It’s fine. When those newly matched Beast Husbands arrive, you can compete with them to see who becomes the Female Master’s true Beast Husband first!”

Lu Xuyin sneered. “The Female Master has been with me every day lately. You’re just dying of jealousy, aren’t you!”

Lorenzo curled his lips. “The Female Master said that in a year or two, she’ll let us have more cubs. But you don’t even have a single cub that shares a bloodline with her.”

As if recalling something, Lorenzo covered his mouth with his fingertips. “Oh, my! I heard that your Dragon Clan still refuses to acknowledge your union with the Female Master. So, they just ignored you and cut off all your resources.

“How are you going to support the Female Master in the future? You’re not planning to leech off her, are you? Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Lu Xuyin clenched his jaw tightly and scoffed. “You’re staying at home every day right now. Aren’t you leeching off the Female Master too?”

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “No way, no way! You don’t actually think a network security officer has to leave the house to work, do you?

“I’m a network maintenance engineer, the kind with a level-seven certificate! In a few days, when I pass my level-eight exam, my salary will go up even more!

“My previous job as a Bounty Hunter was just a personal hobby. It wasn’t my main profession!”

Lorenzo held up a single finger. “I’m not like you. Once your family cuts off your share dividends, you have absolutely no extra income! Truly… tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Leaving behind a look of sheer disdain, Lorenzo turned and walked away.

Sure enough, after keeping company with smart cubs who asked a hundred thousand ‘whys’, finding a Beastman to vent his frustrations on was the only way to maintain a peaceful state of mind!

Lorenzo headed to the living room, feeling completely refreshed.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuyin stood in the kitchen, hugging a basin of marinated Star Beast Meat, so furious he practically had an out-of-body experience!

On the other side, when Gu Weilan met Zhuoma at the entrance of the Central Beastman Academy, she also ran into Laura and Liu Ruoxi.

“Wait, why are you guys here?” Gu Weilan asked. She was wearing denim-like thermoregulating trousers and a long-sleeved white thermoregulating silk shirt.

Laura waved her hand. “Both of my Beast Husbands are currently incubating cubs in Incubation Pods at home. Their aptitudes are exceptionally good! Using the Cultivation Liquid you formulated, their bloodline purity is visibly increasing day by day!”

Liu Ruoxi nudged Laura with her elbow. “Enough about that! Let me tell you, your Cultivation Liquid has severely impacted the Cultivation Liquid market.

“Several Cultivation Liquid businesses have seen their sales take a nosedive. Now, they’re planning to develop male-bound Incubation Pods.”

Zhuoma nodded. “Laura and Liu Ruoxi got this information firsthand. That’s why they insisted on tagging along with me today—they wanted to see you and tell you about this in person.”

Laura chimed in, “They want to develop an Incubation Pod with a catheter connected directly to the male’s stomach, allowing the cub to absorb the nutrients ingested by the Beastman.”

“Let’s get in the Hovercar first. We can talk slowly on the way,” Liu Ruoxi told Gu Weilan.

The four females piled into the Hovercar. Taking turns, Laura and Liu Ruoxi relayed everything they had found out to Gu Weilan.

Gu Weilan shook her head. “There’s no need to worry. The Incubation Pod was designed so that Beastmen wouldn’t have to suffer the physical inconveniences of pregnancy. The only problem was that the issue of cub genetic breakdown hadn’t been resolved before.

“And that genetic breakdown stems from the gene chain itself. The previous Cultivation Liquids couldn’t repair that specific defect.

“Those people who want to revert the Incubation Pod to being grafted onto males and boast that this method provides more comprehensive nutrition than my Cultivation Liquid are wasting their time.

“The males themselves will have a faction of Beastmen rallying against their research. Rest assured!”

Laura and Liu Ruoxi thought about it and nodded.

Seeing Gu Weilan so confident in her Cultivation Liquid patent, they felt much more at ease.

Pomegranate Seed couldn’t help but feel proud. “But of course! Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be a masterpiece!”

A smile graced Gu Weilan’s lips. “Then I’ll have to trouble you during the matching later, Pomegranate Seed.”
