Upon receiving Lu Xuyin’s message, Gu Weilan gave a brief reply: "Okay ദ്ദി(˵•̀ᴗ-˵)✧."
Gu Weilan opened her bedroom door after taking a shower. She had barely taken two steps when she heard a THUD. Startled, she spun around, her muscles instantly tensing. If this were the Apocalypse, her relaxed guard just now would have gotten her killed!
Pressing her lips together, Gu Weilan warily scanned her surroundings. To her surprise, she found Shi Lingfeng in his Beast Form—looking like an ash-black puppy—crouching by her door. She had no idea how long he had been there. The THUD she heard was him fainting from a nosebleed!
Gu Weilan looked down at her athletic shorts and sweatshirt, feeling slightly confused. She guessed that this male had probably run out to find her before he was fully healed. Bending down, she scooped up the pitch-black male. In his Beast Form, he looked just like a two-month-old Blue Bay Shepherd Dog. Holding him, she headed back toward the room with the Healing Pods.
By the time she placed Shi Lingfeng back into the Healing Pod, he was actually already awake! However, he didn’t dare to open his eyes. He had felt a bit dizzy and groggy earlier, but he never expected that following the Female Master’s scent would lead him to the sight of her long, fair, and flawless legs... Because of his low angle, he had even caught a glimpse of the lower curve of her buttocks...
The mentality of this twenty-seven-year-old innocent virgin male instantly collapsed. He immediately shot a stream of nosebleed in his Beast Form and passed out cold on the spot. How could he possibly open his eyes now? He couldn’t. Not even a little bit.
Shi Lingfeng lay peacefully in the Healing Pod. It was only after the Female Master had walked away that he used his Spiritual Sea to issue a command, attempting to turn on his Light Brain. To his dismay, he discovered that his Light Brain was severely damaged. There was absolutely no way for him to communicate with the outside world right now!
Meanwhile, after putting Shi Lingfeng down, Gu Weilan walked toward the cloakroom she had passed by earlier. Housekeeper Zhan Ci was currently directing the robotic housekeepers to take photos, measure the internal dimensions, and record intuitive holographic projections of all the rooms.
"The female Gu Weilan," Zhan Ci said, bowing respectfully to her. He then explained his actions. "Lord Zhan Heng is the patriarch of our Qilin Clan. He is more accustomed to a somewhat luxurious style. I wonder what kind of style the female Gu Weilan prefers?
"He plans to renovate his own room, along with the cloakroom next to it. He also wants to renovate it for you, the female Gu Weilan, while he is at it, but he doesn’t know your preferred style.
"This entire villa has three large bedrooms with walk-in cloakrooms, ten secondary bedrooms with wardrobes, two attic bedrooms, and two guest rooms.
"Should we unify the style, or should we wait until the males matched to the female Gu Weilan arrive so they can choose their own styles and decorate accordingly?"
With the mindset of a poor person who had suddenly struck it rich, Gu Weilan’s first thought upon touring the villa had been, "Who is going to clean such a huge house?" Fortunately, the interstellar beast world had robotic housekeepers. Later, when Mo Jincuan sent his trusted aide to dissolve his match with her, Gu Weilan used the compensation money to frugally purchase a pink cleaning robot for the enormous house.
However, she didn’t want to do anything more than that! After all, this property was merely provided for her to use free of charge during her time at school. The Pharmacy major at the Central Beastman Academy only required five years of study. Even if someone maxed out their credits within three years, they could still continue living in the house allocated to females by the academy. The academy would only issue a notice to revoke the temporary residency rights after the full five years were up.
Thinking of this, Gu Weilan pursed her lips. "Let’s not make any major changes. The current overall interior decor is warm apricot, which looks quite relaxing. If Zhan Heng wants to change his bedroom, let him arrange it however he likes. As for my bedroom, paint it champagne pink. The cloakroom... just make it the same style as Zhan Heng’s."
Right after she finished stating her requests, Xie Jing, who was sitting not far from her, suddenly spoke up. "Why do you want it to be the same style as his? That guy only likes sparkly, flashy things."
Gu Weilan looked down at Xie Jing and argued back, "I like sparkly things too! That’s not a flashy style; that’s called old money aesthetic, a style of wealth!"
Besides, the most important point was that Zhan Heng was the one paying for it!
Xie Jing furrowed his little brows and smacked his lips, wanting to say something, but Gu Weilan simply turned her head and walked away. Meanwhile, Zhan Heng, currently in his cub-like Beast Form, was standing not far away. He cast a glance at his biological younger brother, Xie Jing, before turning around and chasing after Gu Weilan.
Zhan Ci also followed Gu Weilan downstairs. "The female Gu Weilan, there is a three-hundred-and-fifty-square-meter empty plot in the villa’s backyard. Do you have any ideas on how you want to utilize it?"
Gu Weilan’s eyes lit up. She immediately scooped up Zhan Heng, who had been running after her on the floor. "Can we build a two-hundred-square-meter glass greenhouse? I am studying Pharmacy, which might involve working with some plants. I want to find some time to grow some myself."
The key point was that her Light Element Beast Rank required her to absorb sunlight. When she was planting in the glass greenhouse, she could simultaneously absorb the sun. Killing two birds with one stone! How wonderful!
Zhan Ci hurriedly used his Light Brain to record Gu Weilan’s request. He noted down a few more of her detailed specifications before Gu Weilan carried Zhan Heng off to rest.
Tapping Zhan Heng’s Qilin nose, Gu Weilan said, "I will Promote my Beast Rank to the Sixth Rank as soon as possible so I can soothe your Spiritual Sea sooner. I checked the Star Network; Beastmen with severely polluted Spiritual Seas are completely unable to turn on their Light Brains to communicate. If a Spiritual Sea goes without being soothed for a long time and only relies on calming agents, it will negatively affect the male’s Spiritual Sea and potential."
Gu Weilan thought Zhan Heng’s Little Qilin form was truly adorable. He had a big head, and the scales on his body weren’t cold and icy; instead, they felt smooth, gentle, and even a bit warm to the touch. The ring of fur around the Little Qilin’s neck felt just like petting a fluffy toy. His large, round eyes were mesmerizing; under bright sunlight, his pupils would narrow into vertical ovals, but when there was no harsh glare, his Qilin pupils acted just like a cat’s, dilating until they were almost entirely black.
Even if Zhan Heng wasn’t good-looking, Gu Weilan felt she could still keep him as a pet for a long time without ever getting bored. She poked the tip of Zhan Heng’s nose. If he dodged, she would hold him down, grab a tuft of fur from his neck, and brush it against his nose until it made him sneeze uncontrollably. Only then would she finally let it go. Zhan Heng could only lie flat, resigning himself to letting Gu Weilan aggressively pet him.
However, he secretly made up his mind. Once he returned to his Beastman Form, he would absolutely do the exact same thing to Gu Weilan every single day, pinning her down in front of him... But he probably wouldn’t just tickle her; he would likely... want much more...
"Huh?" Gu Weilan noticed something on the ink-black Little Qilin’s belly—in a spot devoid of scales or fur, a small nub was gradually standing up.
She was just about to reach out and flick it when Zhan Heng frantically thrashed around. He finally scrambled to his feet, leaped off the bed with a SWISH, and dashed into the bathroom!
At first, Gu Weilan was bewildered, but then it dawned on her what that thing was!
Blushing profusely, she gritted her teeth. "That scoundrel! I treat him like a pet, and he actually... Wait, no... he actually is my Beast Husband, isn’t he."
Gu Weilan knitted her brows. Right then, she received another Light Brain message from Xuanshuo: [Female Master, I’ve been feeling much better these past few days. It’s another day of missing my Female Master. I really want to see my Female Master soon! Heart Hands Over Head.GIF]
