Chapter 113: Zhan Heng’s Heart Knot

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Zhan Heng’s Heart Knot

"Since Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin are here with me, who is the one that broke the match with me?" Gu Weilan wondered in her mind.

"Whether it’s an Insect Clan imposter or something else, when Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin broke their matches with me, the White Tiger Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan held press conferences! They declared that their children were unwilling to form a bond with an incompatible female!"

Hearing this, Pomegranate Seed instantly became upset. "They said that? Let me go check!"

It quickly returned. "Then don’t save them. How dare they say that about my Host! Hmph, what audacity!"

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, feeling quite comforted.

"That’s not what I mean," she replied internally. "I plan to slowly cure them, but it will take a few days. Shen Mianzhou is coming back soon. I have to let Shen Mianzhou have my cubs first."

"Tsk, I think Zhan Heng, your Beast Husband, might cling to you for a long time," Pomegranate Seed noted. "Look at him. Now that he’s finally freed from the Incubation Pod, the way he looks at you is practically shooting sparks!"

Gu Weilan turned her head to look at Zhan Heng. "You’ve been weak lately. You’re so thin you barely look like yourself."

The green light in Zhan Heng’s eyes instantly extinguished. "Are you disgusted by me?"

Gu Weilan turned her head away, her eyes darting around. "Haha, how could I be?"

"Are you really not? You are simply heartless! I get just a tiny bit ugly, and you despise me!"

Gu Weilan pursed her lips and muttered softly, "You didn’t get just a tiny bit ugly, it’s quite a lot. Besides, I don’t despise you."

Angry, Zhan Heng bit Gu Weilan on the shoulder. It didn’t hurt her. Even when Zhan Heng was angry, he only bit down gently.

"Even though you didn’t carry the cubs in your belly, you were the one supplying energy to them the entire time," she said. "You need to rest well for a month."

Zhan Heng wrapped his arms around Gu Weilan’s waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. "No need," he whined softly.

Gu Weilan frowned. "You have to nurse yourself back to health so you can protect me better. How can you protect me in your current state?"

When she turned to look at him, her expression turned serious. "I need your protection."

Zhan Heng also turned serious. He stared at Gu Weilan for a long time before asking directly, "Female Master, do you... do you have a Space Beast Rank?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "I do."

Zhan Heng gasped. He finally sat up, remaining silent for a moment before giving a slight nod. "I will properly nurse my condition back to its peak."

"Then you can try the Bloodline Purification Bath with me," Gu Weilan nodded. "Aside from the benefits it has on our own bodies, our next litter might have a higher number of cubs with atavistic bloodlines."

Zhan Heng couldn’t help but purse his lips. "For the next litter, it would be best to control it to two or three little cubs. I really can’t handle four."

Gu Weilan was unfazed. "That’s just because you’re too weak. If you were at the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Stages, or the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Ranks, how could you not handle it?"

Zhan Heng took a deep breath and looked up. After thinking about it, he realized his Female Master had a point.

Thinking of the changes in Shen Mianzhou, he couldn’t help but ask, "When can I drink the Bloodline Purification Potion?"

He believed that his Female Master would give him the answers to the two probing questions he asked today.

Gu Weilan lowered her eyes and asked Pomegranate Seed in her mind, "With Zhan Heng’s current condition, can he endure taking the Bloodline Purification Potion? I don’t want him to fail to pull through and just die."

Pomegranate Seed checked Zhan Heng’s status. "There is actually a possibility of that. The Bloodline Purification Potion roughly strips away impurities from the bone marrow, meridians, and muscles, all the way down to the cells. He is far too weak right now. Let him recover for ten days to a half month."

Gu Weilan looked up at Zhan Heng. "You’re too weak right now, so you can’t use it. Wait until you recover to your previous condition. Your current blood health index is only forty-seven, while your previous index was ninety-two."

Zhan Heng nodded. "Then can I convert the basement into a gym?"

Gu Weilan frowned slightly, then nodded. "I felt there was an issue with the basement’s ventilation system, which is why I never used it. If you think it’s usable, feel free to renovate it however you like."

Zhan Heng glanced at Gu Weilan. Then he looked at her again. And then he looked yet again...

"What do you want?" she asked, her brow furrowing. "You were never like this before. If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhan Heng let out a soft hmph and asked directly, "Are you sure, Lanlan, that this is because you want me to nurse my body back to health, and not because Shen Mianzhou is returning, so you’re trying to distract me and keep me busy?

"We haven’t been intimate in a long time. I miss you, and I refuse to believe you don’t know that."

Gu Weilan reached out and cupped Zhan Heng’s face. Unfortunately, he was so gaunt that she couldn’t even squish his cheeks.

"Shen Mianzhou is coming back, but just like you, he needs some time to recover. Setting aside how you look right now, your health is in serious jeopardy.

"My heart aches for you, and I want you to rest and recuperate. We are going to spend the rest of our lives together, but your current health condition is genuinely worrying. Can you really not feel my concern for you? Do you really have to throw a fit about having sex?"

Zhan Heng’s ears turned red, and he lowered his eyelashes. His upturned eyes, which usually looked bright and full of confidence, now betrayed a hint of panic and insecurity.

"I was just afraid that you didn’t like me anymore."

Gu Weilan knew that even though Zhan Heng hadn’t said anything during the incident Xie Jinglan caused, he had always felt it was an original sin he carried. Even though he had never received any maternal love since childhood, she was still his Mother.

Gu Weilan never expected that, even in the interstellar era, there would still be females who did not love their cubs. Zhan Heng’s father had handed over half of the Qilin Clan’s assets to the Dolphin Clan! Moreover, Zhan Heng’s father had died trying to find a ten-thousand-year-old plant that Xie Jinglan had specifically demanded.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, wrapping her arms around Zhan Heng and gently patting his back. "You shouldn’t spend your days in such constant anxiety. Xie Jinglan is Xie Jinglan. As long as you don’t scheme against me for the sake of their Dolphin Beast Clan, I will continue to treat you the same as always."

Zhan Heng furrowed his brow slightly as tears welled up in his eyes, but he blinked them away before they could fall. He had been truly terrified just moments ago. He feared his Female Master would find his constant pestering annoying.

If his Female Master treated him the way his Mother had treated his father... what would happen to his cubs?

It turned out he was overthinking things. His Female Master was ten thousand times better than his Mother.

Zhan Heng hugged Gu Weilan back, his deep, slightly nasal voice rumbling against her shoulder. "Mhm, I understand. I will definitely take good care of my health."

Three days later.

The branch dean of the Central Beastman Academy Agricultural and Science Institute was standing alongside the head dean. They had come together to find Gu Weilan. While signing the contract, they discussed many details regarding the Mid level Cultivation Fluid.

Gu Weilan addressed them directly. "For this patent, I applied for an advanced version based on the original patent. However, the packaging on the Academy’s production line must clearly state that the Mid level Cultivation Fluid must only be used after the second month.

"This is because the Initial Stage Culture Fluid must be used for the first month, even if it isn’t our brand of Cultivation Liquid. The Mid level Cultivation Fluid contains too much energy. If it is used right from the beginning, the cub embryos will actually be killed by the excess energy."
