The stir-fried Red Flame Bull in Gu Weilan’s mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
She feigned calmness and was about to exit the chat, but unexpectedly, another message arrived from the other end and played automatically by default:
"Liiittle feeeemale... It’s always other feeeemales who chase after me... Since I’m taking the initiative with you... don’t be ungrateful... liiittle Mole Clan feeeemale..."
That vocal fry, twisting and turning three times per syllable, was truly absolutely unbearable! Speechless!
Gu Weilan silently turned off her Light Brain and lowered her head to eat quietly. One didn’t necessarily have to watch something while eating anyway. She really wanted to hug her own shattering soul...
The other male beastmen around her observed Gu Weilan silently for a moment before they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. "Do females nowadays all like males like that?"
"I have no idea... Maybe a few specific females are into it..."
Gu Weilan buried her head even lower! She wasn’t, and she didn’t! Stop slandering her! She remembered this—Ji Yanqing of the Fox Clan, right? Very well!
However, at this moment, a male holding a food tray walked over. He looked about fifty percent similar to Gu Weilan. "Gu Weiran? You... you? How are you still alive!"
Gu Weilan frowned and looked up at him. Naturally, she knew who he was: Gu Yaoqing.
The surname Gu was his mother’s, the character Yao was his father’s surname, and the last character meant celebrating his birth. That was his full name.
Gu Weilan furrowed her brows. "What do you mean? Do we know each other? Do you think I should be dead?"
Many male beastmen looked over. Some of the well-informed ones knew that Gu Weilan’s fertility was very low, but she was still a female!
"Cursing a female to die in public, isn’t that too vicious?"
"Which department is this student from? How could there be such a malicious male?"
"Don’t say that! If you don’t know the whole picture, don’t comment, understand? What if there’s some history between the two of them?"
Gu Weilan stood up, and her aura instantly changed. When the same person’s temperament changed, it was like a form of invisible cosmetic surgery that made them seem like a completely different person.
Gu Weilan had fought her way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Apocalypse. Although she restrained the ruthless, murderous intent on her, the feeling of carrying countless lives on her shoulders was entirely different from these young beastmen in the academy who had yet to set foot on the Star Beast Battlefield.
Gu Yaoqing couldn’t help but take a step back. The panic that had just risen in him, along with the words meant to scold Gu Weiran for not returning home if she wasn’t dead, were swallowed back down.
He felt... he might have recognized the wrong person. It was impossible for his so-called half-sister—who shared the same mother but had a different father—to become an entirely different person in just over a month. He squinted, observing Gu Weilan, and only then realized her skin was surprisingly fair and delicate. She didn’t look like their Mole Clan at all, who rarely saw the sun all year round and had to consume minerals that roughened the skin, resulting in bumpy, pitted faces with large pores.
Gu Yaoqing hurriedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I might have mistaken you for someone else."
He himself was wearing a full set of UV protection gear, with a glass-like helmet made of special material covering his head, much like an astronaut’s. He further noticed that Gu Weilan showed no discomfort under the sunlight, concluding that she was probably not from the Mole Clan. Thus, she couldn’t be his sister, Gu Weiran. Therefore, he must have mistaken her.
Gu Weilan really didn’t want to continue eating. Embarrassed once and encountering an annoying person once during a single meal—who would still have an appetite after that? However, the rules of the Central Beastman Academy dictated that food eaten in the cafeteria must not be wasted. She had no choice but to sit down. Treating the food like a mortal enemy, she silently stuffed it all into her stomach!
Although Gu Yaoqing walked away, deep down he still felt that Gu Weilan was Gu Weiran. He took a deep look at Gu Weilan, opened his Light Brain, and sent a message to his mother.
While stuffing rice into her mouth, Gu Weilan called out to the system in her mind, "Pomegranate Seed, if I don’t like the Beast Husband you matched me with, I can change him, right?"
"Host, you’ve read the Beast God matching regulations, haven’t you? If a female cancels more than half of her matches, the Beast God System will enforce a second mandatory matching the following year." The system added, "It’s fine! If Host doesn’t like this batch, we can just match again next year. However, the benefits at Host’s academy are good, but you will also have to go out for practical training.
"If Host wants to restore her strength to the level she had in the Apocalypse, the best method is actually letting your matched Beast Husbands use the Incubation Pod to have cubs."
Gu Weilan nodded. "I’ll put the matter of having the Beast Husbands use the Incubation Pod to have cubs on the agenda as soon as possible. It’s just this Ji Yanqing... I really can’t stand sleazy men. It raises my mental cholesterol."
The system couldn’t hold back; it sent Gu Weilan a log of a Light Brain conversation between Ji Yanqing and others:
Ji Yanqing: "I can’t believe this. What’s wrong with the Beast God System? Even if my fertility is poor, it’s still a 4. Why did it match me with a female bouncing between 0 and 1?"
Friend A: "Then cancel the match with her, but remember, every male only has one chance to force a cancellation."
Friend B: "You could figure out a way to make the female request the cancellation herself! That way, you wouldn’t waste your one cancellation opportunity."
Gu Weilan instantly understood what Ji Yanqing was up to. She walked to a corner, turned off the external speaker setting on her Light Brain, and then opened Ji Yanqing’s chat box: "Male Ji Yanqing, do you want to cancel the match? I can submit the cancellation request."
Ji Yanqing received Gu Weilan’s message. He was just about to reply ’yes’ when he paused. He looked at the strategist in front of him. "If the Female Master I matched with takes the initiative to ask if I want to cancel the match, how should I answer?"
The male strategist pondered for a moment. "Deny it. Because once a male admits it, leaving substantive evidence on the Light Brain that he wanted to cancel the match but manipulated the female into applying for it...
"Not only could the female demand a massive compensation fee based on that, but it would also leave a criminal record for you, Commander.
"We are about to compete for resources with the twelve legions next. It would be disastrous if something happened to you!"
Ji Yanqing had long, narrow fox-like eyes with slightly raised outer corners, his gaze cold yet carrying a natural charm. He had a high nose bridge and well-defined crimson lips, which made his cool, pale skin look even more flawless and translucent.
Hearing the strategist’s advice, he felt it made a lot of sense. He cleared his throat. With a tense jawline and bright red ears, he sent a voice message to Gu Weilan using his Light Brain: "Baaaby..."
The strategist’s eyes widened and he took a few steps back. Feeling unwell all over, he looked down at his own skin and saw it was covered in goosebumps.
"Why would you think that? Baaaby... I won’t allow you to think of me that way... my baaaby... liiittle feeeemale...
"Baaaby... you’re excessively beautiful... I’m excessively... obsessed... I miiiss youuu..."
Hearing this god-tier vocal fry, Gu Weilan felt so repulsed by his sleaziness that her back went numb. A little part of her seemed to have died... Did she violate some heavenly law? Why was she forced to listen to Ji Yanqing’s Ju-On-like croak tormenting her like this! As she looked at another unread voice message from Ji Yanqing, her fingers trembled slightly.
"Baaaby... I hope you have a sweet dream tonight... What I mean is... dream... of... meee..."
Gu Weilan put away her Light Brain, deciding that Ji Yanqing was absolutely dead meat! She, Gu Weilan, would definitely find a way to deal with him! If he wanted to cancel the match, he could just say so plainly. If he didn’t want to bring it up himself, he could have found someone else to do it! What was the point of pure torture? Huh?
Taking a deep breath, she realized that to avoid the drawbacks of a male initiating a match cancellation, these beastmen would truly resort to any extreme!
