Male contamination levels fluctuated, so the smart terminal measured the average contamination level over a ten-minute period.
Qin Mo did not let Yun Yang stay with him while they waited. “Female Master, shall I accompany you outside for a walk?”
His father had told him that there was an ancient saying from the distant past, something about how once people had enough to eat and wear, they would think about that sort of thing. So, taking a walk with the Female Master after a meal would help strengthen their relationship.
Yun Yang had indeed eaten a little too much. She nodded and got to her feet, following Qin Mo out of the villa.
The villa was located in District 3, one of the most luxurious residential areas on X92 Star. There were only two villas in the entire district. The other belonged to Yun Yang’s mother, Yun Conglan, though it currently stood vacant.
Between the two villas was a sprawling garden filled with artificial trees and artificial flowers and plants.
There was no scent of grass, trees, or flowers, but the colors looked exactly like those in the photographs passed down from ancient times, and simply looking at them put people in a good mood.
Accompanied by Qin Mo, Yun Yang strolled along at an unhurried pace.
Her mental strength level being below 30% had not caused her any discomfort for the time being, so she remained in high spirits.
Taking a leisurely walk after eating her fill was one of the activities she enjoyed most.
However, her good mood did not last long, because a pitch-black figure suddenly darted out from somewhere.
Although she quickly saw what the dark figure looked like, Yun Yang was still startled and instinctively stepped backward.
Qin Mo was right behind her. With that step, she crashed straight into his arms.
Qin Mo instinctively reached out to protect her. He tightened his arms, erasing the last sliver of space between them, and the two fit together as though they had been made for each other.
That scent…
Qin Mo’s amber eyes darkened as he suppressed the surging, most primitive desire that belonged to a beastman.
He forced himself to shift his attention, then looked toward the male beastman who had suddenly appeared in his line of sight, his brows drawing tightly together.
This male had frightened his Female Master.
Qin Mo’s scent enveloped Yun Yang. Perhaps it was the influence of their genes, but she inexplicably felt much more at ease.
Yun Yang let out a sigh of relief before looking at Wei Zhuo, who had appeared out of nowhere. “Wei Zhuo, are you sick?”
Showing up out of nowhere in the middle of the night to scare people, did he know that a person could literally be scared to death?!
Wei Zhuo said nothing. He simply looked at her with a complicated expression.
After a long while, he finally spoke. “Yun Yang, why didn’t you tell me your mental strength was S-rank?”
Wei Zhuo had only seen the news on StarNet that afternoon.
At first, he didn’t believe it. He and Yun Yang had practically grown up together, and he had never heard Yun Yang say that her mental strength was S-rank.
Besides, Yun Yang’s mother had B-rank mental strength, while her father’s ability rank was only A-rank. Under those circumstances, the possibility of her awakening S-rank mental strength was virtually zero.
But when he clicked on the topic, he discovered that the X92 Star Mental Strength Testing Center was the one that had posted the information.
The testing center would never publish false information, and federal law expressly prohibited such acts. Only then was he forced to believe that Yun Yang’s mental strength really was S-rank.
Wei Zhuo did not deny that he regretted it a little.
This was the Federation’s third S-rank female. If he formed a bond with Yun Yang, he would never again have to worry about his contamination level getting too high, nor would he have to inject that damned suppressant.
What did true love and freedom matter when faced with the threat of contamination levels?
So he had come to find Yun Yang.
As for the male who had suddenly appeared beside Yun Yang, Wei Zhuo paid him no attention.
Yun Yang had said before that he would be her only beast husband.
That unknown male was probably just another suitor who had come running to curry favor with her after learning that Yun Yang had S-rank mental strength.
“Why should I tell you?” Yun Yang rolled her eyes.
Did this crooked tree really think he was something special?
“If you had told me, I wouldn’t have broken off our engagement.” Wei Zhuo spoke with deep feeling, as though he were not the same beastman who had been so adamant about refusing to form a bond that very afternoon. “Yun Yang, I can form a bond with you right now.”
Yun Yang almost laughed. “Wei Zhuo, who do you think you are?”
“Before, you begged me to break off our engagement, saying that even if you died, even if you were exiled to a barren planet, you would never form a bond with me. Now that I’ve granted your wish and broken off our engagement, you’re rushing back to me to form a bond.”
“Wei Zhuo, do you have no shame?”
“What makes you think you have the right to treat me as though you can summon me whenever you want and dismiss me whenever you’re done?”
If she weren’t afraid of dirtying her own hands, Yun Yang would have loved to walk over and slap Wei Zhuo twice.
He had ruined her perfectly good mood. What bad luck!
Qin Mo did not know Wei Zhuo, but from the conversation between Yun Yang and Wei Zhuo, he could roughly guess what their relationship had been.
This Wei Zhuo had previously been engaged to his Female Master, yet he had looked down on her and refused to form a bond with her, throwing a fit every day about wanting to break off their engagement.
Then, once the engagement was broken off and the news of his Female Master’s S-rank mental strength came out, Wei Zhuo regretted it and came here to beg his Female Master to take him back.
Were there really such shameless males in the Federation?
Qin Mo’s gaze turned dangerous. He lowered his head and glanced at Yun Yang, who was still leaning against him, but he did not act immediately.
His father had told him that he had to remain refined in front of a female, or he would leave her with a bad impression.
Once he took his Female Master back to the villa, he could deal with this Wei Zhuo afterward.
Wei Zhuo had no idea that a beating was about to come his way. He continued speaking with deep feeling. “Yangyang, I know you’re angry. Go ahead and say whatever you want to me. If that still doesn’t make you feel better, then hit me.”
Yun Yang: “……”
Could this crooked tree stop calling her that in such a disgusting way? She had nearly thrown up the food she’d just eaten!
Was he really sick?
Yun Yang hated that she had no abilities. Otherwise, she guaranteed she would have given Wei Zhuo a good beating.
Maybe she could have Robot Butlers No. 1, 2, and 3 come out and teach Wei Zhuo a lesson later?
Yun Yang thought that could work. To protect females, robot butlers were implanted with combat systems, and the combat capabilities of robot butlers varied depending on their price.
The original owner’s three robot butlers had all been bought by Yun Conglan at great expense. Each one had combat capabilities equivalent to a male with an A-rank ability.
Although Wei Zhuo was also A-rank, he would definitely be at a disadvantage three against one!
Yun Yang immediately turned around, ignoring Wei Zhuo’s revolting expression, and pulled Qin Mo toward the villa.
Wei Zhuo strode after them. Just as he was about to reach for Yun Yang’s hand, he met Qin Mo’s dark, ominous gaze.
The beastman’s instinctive sense of danger made Wei Zhuo break out in goosebumps, and he instinctively withdrew his hand.
Yun Yang paid no attention to Wei Zhuo and hurried back.
When they reached the entrance, Qin Mo suddenly said, “Female Master, I have something to take care of. You go inside first.”
Yun Yang nodded. As soon as she returned to the villa, she immediately gave Robot Butlers No. 1, 2, and 3 their orders.
Meanwhile, Wei Zhuo was still shaken.
Just who was that male? A single glance from him had made Wei Zhuo feel a danger unlike anything he had ever experienced.
Could he be an S-rank male?
Wei Zhuo was still thinking about it when everything suddenly went dark before his eyes.
“Who?!” he called out warily. Before he could even release his ability, a rock-hard fist slammed into him.
