Chapter 179: Oops, Sent to the Wrong Group

Gu Weilan pointed at the data on her Light Brain. “This data is from the low pollution medicinal plants I grew in the greenhouse. The reason they can keep the pollution level so low is that I gave them ample time to naturally absorb nutrients from the soil.”

Fu Qianshan did not agree. “I still believe we should cultivate medicinal plants that can absorb soil nutrients more efficiently and quickly, while also keeping their pollution levels under control.”

Then, Gu Weilan looked at Fu Qianshan, who stood before her.

He had a gentle and upright appearance. His relaxed brow instantly put people at ease, making them feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. His movements were elegant and measured, exuding a scholarly and serene aura. His almond-shaped eyes were exquisitely beautiful, his gaze calm and wise without being aggressive. A faint rose-quartz luster gleamed in the depths of his eyes, soft and mild, seemingly holding endless patience. His skin was fair and delicate, making him look as clear and refined as jade. He was gentle but not frail, with a quiet, grounded strength hidden beneath his refined exterior.

Inwardly, however, Fu Qianshan was far less calm than he appeared.

He pursed his lips, his eyelashes fluttering. When he lowered his eyes, those long lashes added a touch of vulnerability to his demeanor.

Gu Weilan continued discussing agricultural issues with him. It wasn’t until he came up with a highly feasible grafting method—one that slightly shortened her planting cycle while enhancing the medicinal properties—that he finally looked at her with burning eyes.

Gu Weilan threw her hands up. “It’s getting late…”

Fu Qianshan cleared his throat, his fingers gripping tightly. “Can I form a bond with the Weilan Female?

“That way… I’ll be able to see you every day from now on.”

He racked his brains, trying to think of something. “My… my strong points are…”

Gu Weilan couldn’t help but let her gaze slide from his face downward.

She wondered, “Since he’s from the Elephant Clan… speaking of ‘long’ points…”

“I’m very patient. Does that count as a strong point?” he asked. “In the future, I can handle the cubs’ education and spend time with them when they want to ask questions! I have great patience.”

Gu Weilan’s eyes lit up.

The consequence of feeding the cubs a series of potions was that her legs now turned to jelly whenever she heard them cry out for “Mother”! Since the cubs were over a year old, they had started asking all sorts of bizarre questions.

“Mother, why are you so tall?”

“Mother is a mature Beastman, so I’m tall!”

“Why is Mother a mature Beastman?”

“Because Mother grew up.”

“Why did Mother grow up?”

There was a whole basketful of similar questions that left Gu Weilan’s head spinning.

If she answered Gu Zhanchang’s question, she had to answer Zhanshao’s too! If she answered Shi E’s question, she had to answer Shi Jiao’s as well.

At those times, Gu Jingyuan, Gu Jingqian, and the chubby-faced little Zhan Hua would just stare at her. If she didn’t answer, Zhan Hua would transform into his fiery-red Little Qilin form and look at her. “Mother, do you not love us anymore?”

Those tiny eyes would brim with tears, staring at her pitifully.

Good heavens! It was driving her crazy!

Fortunately, Lorenzo’s little cubs could currently only babble, “Mother, Mother, Mother…”

But the moment she thought about what would happen in a little while… her silence was deafening!

What had Fu Qianshan just said about himself? That he didn’t have any merits?

Gu Weilan had seen him coaxing the cubs and feeding them their purees during lunch.

Good lord! What kind of gentle, tender perfection was this?

She grabbed his hand. “Let’s form a bond! We’ll do it right now!”

What a kindhearted male! Beastmen who had never taken care of cubs could not possibly comprehend the terror of raising them! Nanny robots could provide companionship, but a cub’s creativity and sense of security had to come from their Mother and Father.

Thank goodness none of her cubs were high-needs babies! Otherwise, she genuinely would have gone to the frontlines to swap places with Zhan Heng and the others.

Fu Qianshan’s cheeks flushed slightly, but he didn’t pull his hand away from hers. After all, they were about to become legal wife and husband!

The Beastman who came to perform the Engraving was Mo Ji. During the process, the curiosity in his eyes was impossible to hide! He didn’t introduce himself, wanting to observe a bit more to see exactly what this female—who had captivated his cousin so completely—looked like, and what made her so extraordinarily different.

Although Gu Weilan didn’t know that the Priest in front of her was her matchmaking prospect, his facial features, which were fifty percent similar to Mo Jincuan’s, allowed her to guess that he definitely knew Mo Jincuan.

She didn’t know how Mo Jincuan was doing right now. She only knew that if he had retreated from the frontlines, he probably would have been the one to come perform the Engraving for her. However, she didn’t ask about him. She believed that if she didn’t intend to give someone hope, it was sometimes best to withhold even the most basic greetings of concern.

After Gu Weilan and Fu Qianshan formed a bond and completed the Engraving, Lorenzo and Lu Xuyin sent messages in the group chat:

“The Female Master has taken in another Beast Husband.”

“However, he’s also the first among the newly matched Beast Husbands to form a bond with the Female Master!”

Lorenzo messaged, “The Female Master had a great time chatting with him! His type doesn’t clash with any of you!”

Zhan Heng frowned. Doing dumbbell rehabilitation exercises, he typed with one hand, “What type?”

Meanwhile, on the Shi Family’s Resource Star, Shi Lingfeng wiped a mixture of dirt, sweat, and blood from his face. Disregarding how filthy he still looked, he glanced around. The surrounding Beastmen immediately understood that Shi Lingfeng was preparing for a shift change.

“What type?” Shi Lingfeng messaged in the group. “By the way, among us Beast Husbands, there are quite a few overlapping types.”

Panting heavily after slaughtering two Tenth Rank Insect Clan members, Shen Mianzhou also retreated to the rear.

Opening the group chat on his Light Brain, Shen Mianzhou wrote, “It’s always better for the Female Master to choose from the matches than to find some weird Beastmen.

“You guys shouldn’t be so sour about it.

“My Mother was once obsessed with a male who had a terrible personality. It was a devastating blow to my fathers and us little cubs!”

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. “If you guys don’t care at all, then I guess I don’t need to mention how much the Female Master likes this male. Otherwise, I’ll end up looking like the bad guy.”

Shi Lingfeng was the first to sneer. “[Mocking.gif] You’re not a bad guy? The same guy who single-handedly delayed my first night with the Female Master by a month?”

Samuel Riel chimed in, “When did this happen? What are the exact details? Do tell.”

Fu Qianshan sent a message: “Fellow Beast Husbands, I am the Female Master’s seventh Beast Husband. Hello~(＾◇^)/.”

The group was silent for a moment before Zhan Heng asked, “When did you join the group? Who added you?”

Gu Weilan replied, “I added him. I also turned off the group notification for new members joining. That’s why you didn’t see it.”

At this, the chat fell completely silent!

Gu Weilan sent another message, “Fu Qianshan is an Elephant Clan male. He’s the Deputy Director of the Central Star Seed Cultivation Research Base.

“We have already formed a bond, so he’s officially a member of the family now. If any of you are curious about anything, feel free to chat with him privately, publicly, whatever!

“It also seems that besides my group, you guys have a secret little side group! Oh—keeping secrets from me, are we? Hmph!”

Lorenzo was completely stunned! He had no idea how to talk his way out of this one!

Now, he didn’t even have the capacity to feel guilty about the private message he had just received from Zhan Heng: “Did you do that on purpose? Didn’t you check the group name? How could you just blurt everything out in there!”
