Chapter 105: Chapter 105: In-Laws Are Afraid of Comparisons

As Gu Weilan walked out, she deliberately hooked her finger against Samuel’s palm, then continued on her way.

Shi Lingfeng’s eyes darkened. He saw that!

Was she so defensive of her new favorite that no one could say a word about him? If he made just one comment, did the Female Master have to immediately rush to coax the new guy?

Gu Weilan quickly hurried to the dining room. Just as she sat down, she received a video call from Lorenzo.

"Female Master, did you take in another Beast Husband? He’s so busy, yet he still managed to find the time in his packed schedule to form a bond with you? Truly..."

Samuel leaned in, entering the video frame. Whenever he faced Beastmen other than Gu Weilan—especially former enemies—his expression was far from pleasant.

"Hello, we meet again. I am the new Beast Husband. Well, not exactly new. I should be one of the Beast Husbands from the same batch as you, having received the message from the Beast God Matching System at the exact same time.

"As for why I arrived late, aren’t you perfectly clear on that matter?"

Samuel finished speaking and immediately apologized to Gu Weilan. "Female Master, it’s my fault. I couldn’t hold back just now. If you’re angry, scold me or beat me."

Gu Weilan gently patted the back of Samuel’s hand. "Alright now. You eat first; I’m going to chat with Beast Husband Lorenzo for a bit."

"How are things on your end? Are you holding up alright? You have five cubs over there, so you must pay attention to your health." Since Lorenzo didn’t have access to the vegetables produced in the Spiritual Spring Space like the ones Gu Weilan had, she had no idea if his body would be able to endure the strain.

"I’m fine. I have my blood relatives helping me out here. With each elder transferring energy to me for an hour or two, I can manage the nurturing.

"It’s just that I’ll have to trouble you, Female Master, to prepare and mix some Cultivation Liquid for me. I feel like with more cubs, they absorb the Cultivation Liquid much faster. Moreover, since the cubs have excellent aptitude, their absorption rate... seems to increase as well."

Lorenzo’s words made the three elders of the Shi family quickly take careful mental notes.

They had already decided to have the younger generation of their family who were using Incubation Pods buy this Cultivation Liquid from Gu Weilan.

However, they didn’t want to buy the mass-produced Cultivation Liquid from the joint venture between the Shi family, Gu Weilan, and the Zhan Family.

Instead, they specifically wanted the Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid specially blended by Gu Weilan herself.

Yet, they didn’t know how to broach the subject with her.

They still didn’t know what Gu Weilan wanted—corporate shares, or something else entirely?

Furthermore, looking at the four cubs in Shi Lingfeng’s Incubation Pod, there was a very high probability that two of them were female.

If the female Gu Weilan was willing to let one of those cubs take the surname Shi, the entire massive Shi family would eventually belong to Gu Weilan’s offspring.

They weren’t stingy about giving Gu Weilan shares in the Shi family’s corporation; they just felt that since she could produce such a patent at such a young age, the shares of their Shi family’s military material factory might not mean much to her.

They had seen the data changes from the Incubation Pod that Shi Lingfeng showed them.

Of the three power holders in the Shi family, the youngest was already over 160 years old. With age came experience, and their vast knowledge was enough for them to recognize that Gu Weilan was bound to soar to the highest heavens.

Out of the 70 billion Beastmen in the interstellar, which one didn’t want to have their own descendants?

Even with the severe and insurmountable problem of Genetic Collapse Syndrome, Beastmen still relentlessly used Incubation Pods in droves to continue their bloodlines!

The Cultivation Liquid Gu Weilan had produced was something that could solve Genetic Collapse Syndrome.

Would someone like her ever be short on Star Coins?

Given how much potential this granddaughter-in-law had, they decided to observe a bit longer and figure out her preferences before trying to get closer to her.

Gu Weilan had no idea that the Shi family elders had gone through such a complex emotional journey in just a few short minutes.

She simply looked at Lorenzo and gave a slight nod. "Alright, I’ll have a courier send you two bottles of Cultivation Liquid shortly, to be delivered immediately."

"Host, you already have 460 points now. Once Beast Husband Lorenzo’s cubs get a little older, they will be able to use the Mid level Cultivation Fluid. By then, your points should be enough to buy the Mid level Cultivation Fluid formula!" Pomegranate Seed said.

Gu Weilan nodded slightly. As for the Mid level Cultivation Fluid, she didn’t plan on letting other Beastmen enjoy it.

The patent for the basic Cultivation Liquid could help her achieve three goals:

First, it would keep Xuanshuo permanently under Light Brain surveillance, forbidding him from ever bringing up her matters again. This would prevent certain secrets about her and her Beast Husbands from being exposed.

Second, raising cubs required Star Coins. Although the cubs’ fathers wouldn’t mistreat them, she wanted to live a better life herself and ensure her cubs lived well too.

Third, it was to test whether she could earn points for the System Mall, and she found the results to be highly gratifying.

As for better things, Gu Weilan felt it was best to save them for her own cubs.

It wouldn’t be too late to release the Mid level Cultivation Fluid in eight to ten years.

Just as Gu Weilan finished chatting with Lorenzo, finished her meal, and was pondering these random thoughts, the butler robot informed her that they had a visitor.

Upon inviting them in, she saw a middle-aged female with a heroic brow and an oval face.

Standing behind her was Xie Jing, holding an Incubation Pod, along with several Beast Husbands.

Gu Weilan’s aura shifted slightly in an instant.

It was a momentary flash of defensiveness that only Pomegranate Seed sensed.

Before the other Beastmen could even grasp that fleeting feeling, Gu Weilan had completely retracted her imposing aura.

After all, Gu Weilan had survived the Apocalypse. Her home was currently filled with weak, pregnant husbands.

She was merely a Seventh Rank... No, Pomegranate Seed had lifted half of her restrictions, allowing her to just recently become an Eighth Rank female.

Not only was this visiting female uninvited, but she had also brought along six Twelfth or Thirteenth Rank males.

The look on her face... She seemed to be staring at her very calmly.

What were they here for?

Seeing the other party’s imposing lineup, Shi Lingfeng’s elders hesitated for a moment about whether to go upstairs, but after a second thought, they decided to stay.

Gu Weilan sat in the middle of the long sofa, while the three elders of the Shi family occupied the two-seater sofa on the left side of the coffee table.

Sitting opposite Gu Weilan were Xie Jinglan and her several Beast Husbands. Xie Jing’s complexion looked even worse than just weak; he actually appeared somewhat worried and agitated.

"You must be the female Gu Weilan. I am Xie Jing’s Mother." Xie Jinglan raised her chin slightly as she looked at Gu Weilan.

Gu Weilan wore a polite, faint smile on her lips and nodded slightly. "Hello, I am indeed Gu Weilan."

Xie Jinglan frowned, her eyes full of disapproval.

Gu Weilan, however, simply pulled Zhan Heng to sit beside her.

Shi Lingfeng and Samuel sat on the other side.

Xie Jinglan remained silent, so Gu Weilan didn’t speak either.

The butler robot hurriedly served freshly squeezed juice and fruit produced from the Spiritual Spring Space.

If Gu Weilan’s glaring daggers could have materialized into something solid, the butler robot would have already been scrapped by now.

Yes, Gu Weilan was just that petty.

When it came to people she didn’t like, she didn’t care who they were; she didn’t want them to taste even a single bite of her good stuff.

Gu Weilan’s expression remained normal, not letting outsiders notice anything amiss, but Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng could already sense that their Female Master was quite displeased.

Seeing that Gu Weilan refused to speak first, Xie Jinglan felt she was thoroughly lacking in manners. Frowning, she finally broke the silence. "What do you plan to do about Xie Jing?"
