Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Recovery

Zhan Heng’s phoenix eyes couldn’t help but half-open as he glanced in Samuel Riel’s direction. He felt he had seen through Samuel’s ambition.

The Shi Family of Shi Lingfeng received 100 portions of Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid because they would likely face off against the Python Clan, and their business might suffer losses. The Female Master gave the Shi Family 100 portions of Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid to subsidize their losses.

Samuel was only helping to get the Tiger Whale Clan—which already had disputes with the Dolphin Clan—to participate in the encirclement. The Mermaid Clan of the Siren Sea Area didn’t have to pay any significant price at all. Could it be that he actually looked down on 20 portions of Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid?

Even though the Sea Horse Clan had males nurturing the young, the Mermaid Clan communities in the Siren Sea Area were jointly governed by the Mermaid Beast Clan. The current patriarch of the Sea Palace belonged to the Sea Horse Clan, but the Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and others were all leaders of different minor beast clans.

If the Sea Horse Clan wanted to secure their position as the Sea Palace patriarch, they could distribute the Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid they received to subordinate beast clans like the Jellyfish Clan and the Mermaid Clan, thereby consolidating their patriarchal authority. Yet, Samuel had only been here for two days and already had such grand ambitions, turning up his nose at the Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid?

But Zhan Heng didn’t say anything. He just wanted to watch Samuel bite off more than he could chew and incur the Female Master’s displeasure. That way, Samuel would no longer be an obstacle on Zhan Heng’s path to gaining the Female Master’s favor.

Shi Lingfeng shared similar thoughts. With a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, he looked over slightly. His ragdoll-cat-colored eyes even revealed a hint of comforting encouragement, urging Samuel to boldly voice his opinion.

Xie Jing frowned, deeply disgusted by Samuel’s insatiable greed. However, he wasn’t even the female Gu Weilan’s Beast Husband yet; at best, he was just a lover she kept at home. Therefore, he had no right to say anything.

Yet Samuel looked at Gu Weilan and said sincerely, "I want ten portions of that Bloodline Purification Potion that the Female Master gave me to drink."

Gu Weilan frowned. Zhan Heng’s expression darkened, and Shi Lingfeng didn’t look too pleased either.

Samuel didn’t quite understand what the other Beast Husbands were thinking.

Gu Weilan shook her head slightly. "That’s not something I can just produce endlessly at will. The amount I have is strictly limited.

"But I am researching the formula for the Bloodline Purification Bath. If you can wait, I can give your Sea Horse Clan five portions of the Bloodline Purification Bath medicinal liquid when the time comes."

She couldn’t do it right now; the formula for the Bloodline Purification Bath was far too expensive.

For the Bloodline Purification Bath formulas, the Basic formula cost 30,000 points. (A Basic Bloodline Purification Bath formula would lose its effectiveness after about 30 to 100 uses.) The Mid level Bloodline Purification Bath formula cost 50,000 points, and the High level Bloodline Purification Bath formula cost 100,000 points. Since it required so many points, she had to wait until she bought the Basic formula first.

"This guy has a really sharp eye! This is indeed good stuff. If all your Beast Husbands soaked in this medicinal bath, the probability of them siring an atavistic cub would be even higher!" Pomegranate Seed couldn’t help but chime in.

Samuel hurriedly nodded. "Okay! Female Master, just leave the Tiger Whale Clan matter to me! I’m only interested in bloodline purification items!

"Because I can feel it! After I used that thing, my speed of absorbing a Star Core went from thirty minutes down to just twenty minutes for a Star Core of the same rank!"

At this, Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng felt even more uncomfortable. They looked at Gu Weilan simultaneously, wondering if they were not worthy of having the items the new Beast Husband got to drink and use.

Zhan Heng simply chuckled softly. "Female Master, you really are attentive to this new Beast Husband."

Gu Weilan couldn’t suppress the upward curve of her lips. She could tell that of her two jealous partners at home, one was blatantly showing it, while the other was secretly scheming something unknown.

Shi Lingfeng spoke up at this moment. "Lanlan, you don’t need to worry about this. The Shi Family is your backing. Even without these things, the Shi Family will do everything in our power to ensure no Beastman ever disrespects you.

"You have already given me a litter of four cubs. If I only ever thought about asking you for things, there would never be a day I’d be satisfied.

"But all I want is for you to be safe and happy."

Zhan Heng’s expression turned ugly for a split second. Seeing Gu Weilan’s somewhat moved expression, he opened his mouth, only to press his lips together.

"Don’t talk as if you’re the only one who has the Female Master in his heart. The only reason I haven’t shamelessly confessed my feelings to the Female Master is because of the incident that happened today," Zhan Heng finally blurted out.

For a second, an image flashed through his mind—if he didn’t make himself clear, the Female Master would end up loving Shi Lingfeng more. That thought made him so resistant that he wanted Shi Lingfeng dead. He felt that if such a situation were to occur, he might as well have his heart carved out directly.

A look of confusion appeared on Samuel’s beautiful face. "Weren’t those things meant to be given to us by the Female Master? Can’t we exchange them for what we actually want?"

Seeing that Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng were ignoring him, Xie Jing couldn’t hold back anymore. "What you want are material things. What Zhan Heng and Beast Husband Shi Lingfeng want is the Female Master’s affection. You exchanged for what you wanted, and they are doing the same."

Gu Weilan waved her hand. "Alright, let’s consider these matters settled."

Xie Jing suddenly raised his hand. "I have something to say."

Gu Weilan nodded at him, signaling for him to speak his mind.

"The Blue Tiger Clan Beast Husband that Mother brought with her was the one who remained silent and expressionless the entire time. He actually didn’t really agree with Mother coming here today. He was dragged along simply because his Beast Rank is high.

"Those two identical-looking brothers from the Sand Fox Clan were the Beast Husbands who incited Mother to come today.

"The Beast Husband from the Porcupine Clan secretly schemed because the Beast Clan holds some shares in the Cultivation Liquid company. Although he never mentioned it in front of me, I suspect he was the one who originally suggested that Mother use her status as an elder to forcibly seize the Female Master’s belongings.

"The one from the Python Clan is completely blinded by love; those threats he made against you later were purely for Mother’s sake.

"The one from the Dolphin Clan is the male who grabbed my wrist."

Xie Jing watched as Gu Weilan’s expression grew increasingly displeased. He hurriedly explained, "I’m telling you about their situations just to provide you with more information, Female Master, in case you need to divide and conquer them. I’m not trying to get you to sympathize with any individual Beastman’s difficulties...

"Because I know that the moment they agreed to come here, they were already in the wrong."

Gu Weilan pursed her lips and nodded slightly, though she didn’t seem to care much. "The reason I asked Lingfeng to contact the Python Clan is because they already have business dealings. We just need to open up a channel through the Python Clan. If any Beast Clan truly wants to reach out and buy the Cultivation Liquid, they’ll know exactly what to do to get it the moment they see that opening."

Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng both nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Gu Weilan’s words.

They failed to notice that after finishing its juice, the Silver-spotted Cat’s eyes no longer held a beast’s innocent ignorance, but rather the intelligent gaze of a transformed Beastman.

"The Blue Tiger Clan? Daring to cause trouble? I’d like to see them try, even if they were given ten times the courage," he thought silently.
