Chapter 115: So Cute!

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: So Cute!

The three elderly figures of the Shi family clutched their chests, looking at the four little cubs, and couldn’t help but let out a soft "Aww~".

Shi Lingfeng, Xie Jing, and Samuel also couldn’t help but show expressions of being completely melted by the cuteness.

Gu Weilan became even more curious. She pushed aside her two Beast Husbands and Xie Jing to poke her head in.

Wow—

They were just! So! Cute!

The first male Gray Wolf cub was a bit small, a full two sizes smaller than his third-born sister beside him. But they looked a bit... like huskies? Except they didn’t have the classic three-flame mark between their brows. The fluffy little ones had been wiped completely clean. Without the wet, sticky fur clinging to their bodies, they looked even cuter.

However, the first male cub was too small and unsteady on his feet. As soon as he managed to stand up, he was knocked over by a single paw from his younger sister. He tried with all his might, his four limbs trembling as he stood up. His little bottom wriggled as if he were trying to coordinate his body to sit down just like his identical sister.

But with a light push to his head from his sister’s paw, he fell over again.

His sister just sat there, the smile on her face growing wider and wider. She clearly thought her older brother was incredibly fun to play with!

Meanwhile, the White Wolf was just giggling foolishly. Sitting there, he occasionally kneaded his front paws left and right like he was nursing, showing off his agility!

And the final Chiling cub, the runt of the litter, was entirely golden-orange. Her pinkish-brown eyes were exactly the same as Grandma’s. She was just a little weak. Lying on her stomach, she wagged her tail non-stop. How big could a newborn cub’s tail be? The little tail, no thicker than a pinky finger, swept back and forth as if observing what these huge faces hovering in front of her were trying to do.

Gu Weilan couldn’t help but feel that these cubs looked noticeably smarter than Zhan Heng’s...

She quickly stopped herself. She couldn’t think like that! How could she compare her own cubs? Her good eldest daughter had just allowed her to comfortably finish soaking in her medicinal bath! They were all good children! All her good children!

Gu Weilan looked at Shi Lingfeng. "Aren’t we going to feed them milk fruits?"

Shi Lingfeng quickly turned his head to prepare them, but Grandma Shi had already brought over the warm milk bottles.

"I just went and prepared them," she said.

Gu Weilan picked up one of the cubs and said as she walked, "I’ll put the cubs in the nursery."

Taking this opportunity, she fed all four cubs a complete set of potions for aptitude, beauty, intelligence, physical fitness, and poison immunity.

After finishing a bottle of milk fruit juice, the cubs were still unsatisfied and wanted more. Gu Weilan looked at the elders of the Shi family, and the elders looked at each other. None of them dared to make the call to continue feeding the cubs.

"Generally, Beastman cubs only drink 60 to 100 milliliters per meal. Your bottle is 240 milliliters. But they are indeed not full yet. They need about 100 milliliters more. Why don’t you prepare another 80 milliliters for them?" the system prompted.

Gu Weilan turned around and went to prepare more milk fruit juice. The four little cubs hugged their bottles once again, their happy little paws wrapped around the nipples as they sucked vigorously, GLUG GLUG GLUG.

The elders of the Shi family watched very nervously. But they knew that there were some things they could intervene in, and others they could not.

After the little cubs drank their fill, they burped on their own. Unable to bite their own little hands and feet, they chewed on each other’s tails, feet, and hands for a while before finally falling asleep.

Zhan Heng and Shen Mianzhou had finished tidying up by this time and walked over. They glanced at Shi Lingfeng’s cubs, who had already fallen asleep, and hurried downstairs to cook. After all, the Bloodline Purification Bath had cleansed the impurities from their bodies, but it had also consumed a massive amount of energy. They were now so hungry they could devour the heavens.

Once Shi Lingfeng had settled everything on his end, Grandma Shi and the others prepared to leave. Given Shi Lingfeng’s physical condition, he would only need to rest for three days before he could join Gu Weilan and the others in using the Bloodline Purification Bath.

In Zhan Heng’s case, there were absolutely no Beastmen in his family who could lend a helping hand. This was because Zhan Heng’s father had taken several of his uncles along to find good things for their Mother. ℴ

They were basically wiped out. Even the ones who didn’t die came back crippled.

Although from a certain perspective, Zhan Heng’s father did this out of fear that if he died himself, these uncles would seize power from a young Zhan Heng. That was why he arranged things that way. However, this course of action had indeed damaged the foundation of the Qilin Clan.

Those uncles were all Fourteenth and Fifteenth Rank, astoundingly brilliant Qilin Clan Beastmen! How many Star Cores would a Beast Clan have to spend to produce several Fourteenth and Fifteenth Rank Beastmen?

Therefore, Zhan Heng always gritted his teeth, never daring to slack off, desperately trying to make himself stronger. After all, his uncles also had descendants. If Zhan Heng couldn’t stand on his own two feet, they would think, "You made our family pay such a heavy price, and in the end, you’re absolutely worthless!"

So, bearing all this, Zhan Heng just wanted to become a little stronger, and then stronger still, to make the Qilin Clan prosper. That way, the Qilin Clan’s unity might be restored a little.

Gu Weilan had been with Zhan Heng for so long now, and she had learned quite a bit about these matters from Housekeeper Zhan Ci.

She rubbed her stomach, slumping onto the sofa. She was actually so hungry right now that she wanted to eat the sofa itself. However, for a strong woman who had walked out of the Apocalypse, this bit of hunger was nothing!

She needed to get down to business. Inviting Grandma Shi, Grandma, and Great Grandmother to take a seat, she spoke straightforwardly.

"I’ve researched and developed some things on my end, but they are still in the experimental stage. The medicinal bath I soaked in is the Bloodline Purification Bath. This bath has very high requirements for medicinal plants. The pollution level cannot exceed 25. I plan to test this thing five times and then evaluate it again.

"In five days, I want to apply for a patent through the academy. Having the academy help apply for the patent will simplify many of the tedious processes. Plus, we won’t need too many experimental cases.

"As for the Cultivation Liquid from before, I handed it over to the Zhan family of the Qilin Clan. Although the cooperation agreement that Ling Feng helped me negotiate is mostly beneficial to me, my main purpose was still to provide some help to Zhan Heng. His situation within the Qilin Clan has been somewhat difficult. And the Qilin Clan’s ’Nutri-Home’ brand has already been going downhill in the overall nutrient product market.

"I want them to have another core competitive advantage to keep the Nutri-Home Group from collapsing, so I gave the Cultivation Liquid directly to their family to target the high-end market. This is some assistance I’m providing to the Beast Husband who will walk hand in hand with me for the rest of my life. However, I won’t play favorites.

"I plan to hand over the business for the Basic bloodline enhancement medicinal bath to the Shi family. Therefore, I hope Grandma Shi, Grandma, and Great Grandmother can wait a few more days. You can head back once all these matters are finalized."

The battle for succession within the Shi family was also fierce. Just looking at how Shi Lingfeng had been beaten to a pulp when he first arrived was enough to understand the situation. It was just that they didn’t have the guts to run to the Central Beastman Academy and cause a stink right under Gu Weilan’s nose.

That didn’t mean their issues with Shi Lingfeng were in the past.

Of course, she wasn’t some self-sacrificing saint of a worker either. The support she was giving now was all about building a foundation for her own cubs. Sooner or later, these would be her cubs’ properties, so helping others was equal to helping herself. As for earning enough assets to rival the Shi family and the Zhan family... she might as well just go to sleep—she could have everything in her dreams.

By helping the Zhan family and the Shi family, her own cubs would be able to inherit massive family fortunes. Why wouldn’t she be happy to do it? The patents were going to be held tightly in her own hands anyway.

What Gu Weilan was executing was an open conspiracy. How could the elders of the Shi family not realize the true motive behind her support? But not only did they not dislike it, they were actually delighted!
