Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Matched to the Heavens!

The cub with the purest bloodline in the Shi Family was brought to Shi Lingfeng by Gu Weilan.

At the moment the Chiling cub was born, all Beastmen of the Gray Wolf Clan with stronger bloodlines immediately felt an itch in their bones.

It was likely an innate, passive talent.

The three elders of the Shi Family felt it immediately, and their bodies became noticeably more robust. Besides, just look at all the incredible delicacies they had been eating at Gu Weilan’s villa lately!

Originally, they all harbored various hidden ailments and chronic diseases within their bodies. Now? The Great Grandmother felt she wouldn’t have any problem living for another twenty or thirty years!

The Great Grandmother shot Grandma Shi a look.

Grandma Shi pursed her lips. Since she was the youngest among the elders, what else could she do but bite the bullet and bring up their family’s shameless request?

She cleared her throat, a faint blush inevitably creeping across her aged face. "Granddaughter-in-law, well... um... about naming... the two female cubs... could they... take our Shi Family’s surname?"

Grandma Shi felt that Gu Weilan had already entrusted the Shi Family with building the production line for something as incredible as the Bloodline Purification Bath. For their family to also demand the naming rights for the two female cubs was simply too insatiably greedy.

Of course, they only reflected on their own behavior because Gu Weilan possessed true talent and real abilities. If Gu Weilan had been someone who relied entirely on her husband’s family for her livelihood, they wouldn’t have bothered with self-reflection at all.

But wasn’t Gu Weilan far too exceptional? Because of that, they had to treat her with utmost deference when speaking and approach matters with absolute respect.

Thus, Grandma Shi hurriedly added, "For the Shi Family’s partnership with Weilan Female regarding the Bloodline Purification Bath business, our family will provide the production line and sales channels.

"We only require fifty thousand portions of the bath liquid from the production line annually, to be used for enhancing the strength of our main branch Beastmen and for social networking among Beastmen.

"As for the remaining profits, we won’t take a single cent. This agreement will be permanently effective!

"Additionally, we will give you five percent of the shares in the Shi Family’s corporate group. What do you think of this, Granddaughter-in-law?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "No problem. I can give the Shi Family the naming rights for four female cubs. However, the cubs cannot be raised exclusively in the Shi Family."

Noticing the expressions of the three Shi Family elders souring slightly, she spoke frankly, "I think you all know exactly what state Ling Feng was in when he came to me. Even if my cubs bear the surname Shi, they are still my cubs.

"If your people cause any harm to my cubs... I don’t know what I’d do in response. Yet, those people are also your descendants.

"I have absolute confidence in my cubs. I don’t subscribe to that survival-of-the-fittest approach, forcing talented cubs to fight among themselves within their own family.

"The world is vast enough; if they have the ability, they can compete in the outside world.

"The Zhan Family suffered an unexpected accident that led to a severe lack of capable successors, leaving Zhan Heng to hold the fort alone right now.

"I’m speaking so directly with you because I trust that you elders have the capability to suppress those internal factions.

"I also hope that as my cubs grow up, they will have the support of aunts and uncles who treat each other with harmonious, familial love.

"Therefore, I want the cubs to stay by my side until they are old enough to tell right from wrong and won’t be led astray. Once they reach that age, I will let them go to your side to fulfill their filial duties.

"I wonder if the Shi Family elders can agree to this?"

The three elders pondered this. Gu Weilan had made her point crystal clear.

The current chaos within their family had not yet been quelled. Shi Lingfeng had nearly died, and when he fought back, their other grandchildren had almost been killed as well. The elders had even stepped in to intervene. Had Shi Lingfeng not wanted to prevent them from interfering further, he might not have even been willing to let them help look after his cubs.

Shi Lingfeng was a smart man. Upon realizing that his grandmother had stopped him from dealing a fatal blow, he immediately revealed the fact that he might have a female cub on the way. He even made Grandma Shi and the others come over to transfer their own energy to the cubs.

Only when their sunk costs were overwhelmingly high would they truly care.

Thanks to his sheer brilliance, Shi Lingfeng had successfully dragged all his grandmothers over. This way, he could finally enjoy some relaxing days. Just look at Zhan Heng—hadn’t he been drained into a dried-up husk of a Beastman after his cubs were born?

But ever since Shi Lingfeng’s grandmothers arrived, he had fully recovered his vitality. He had even resumed a happy intimate life with his Female Master. It was simply killing three birds with one stone. First, he got to relax; second, he received his Female Master’s doting affection; and third, he secured an extra layer of favoritism from his elders for his cubs.

Shi Lingfeng covertly pushed up his glasses, thinking, "I really am too smart for my own good!"

The Shi Family grandmothers thought it over and felt that the female Gu Weilan was already being incredibly magnanimous. She was allowing all four female cubs born to Shi Lingfeng to take the surname Shi!

What’s more, there was that Cultivation Liquid—she was even letting the Shi Family use the Super Selection Level Cultivation Liquid! This meant the Shi Family wouldn’t have just one female cub! Once a female cub grew up, as long as she was capable and formed a few excellent marriage bonds, elevating the Shi Family to even greater heights would no longer be just a pipe dream!

Oh my, just thinking about it was thrilling!

Grandma Shi hurriedly asked, "Then should we finalize the names of the four little Shi Family cubs right now?"

Gu Weilan gave a slight nod. "My fifth child will be named Gu Shiye, and the sixth will be Gu Shibai."

The Great Grandmother finally chimed in first, "The seventh will be Shi E, and the eighth will be Shi Jiao."

The Grandma quickly explained, "In our Shi Family, female cubs are always given two-character names. It’s not that we don’t want to include Weilan Female’s name; it’s simply how our genealogy has always been structured. Furthermore, females with names featuring the ’woman’ radical will, at the very least, lead the branch families.

"We will absolutely ensure that any future female cubs born to Shi Lingfeng’s brothers will never surpass our Shi E and Shi Jiao in status."

Shi Lingfeng, having remained silent for so long, finally nodded to confirm to Gu Weilan that this was indeed the truth.

Gu Weilan didn’t have any major objections to this. She stated directly, "In a few days, I will submit the patent application for the bath formula. After that, I originally planned to host a small banquet, but it looks like I need to expand the guest list now."

Remembering something, Shi Lingfeng asked, "Is it the small banquet you previously wanted to host once the Cultivation Liquid patent was approved and Beast Husband Shen Mianzhou returned?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "Yes. I informed my close friends about it early on. But now, almost half a year has passed. Liu Ruoxi of the Little Panda Clan is already twenty-four and has entered the matching phase.

"Michelle of the Unicorn Clan is still quite young, only twenty-two, so she hasn’t entered the matching phase yet.

"Zhuoma of the Tibetan Antelope Beast Clan is also twenty-four. I heard she was matched with sixteen Beast Husbands and has just formed a bond with three of them.

"The female Jin Taoyao of the Golden Crow Clan is twenty-six and is getting a bit anxious to have cubs.

"The female Laura of the Honey Badger Clan is twenty-five and hasn’t received any news of a pregnancy either.

"I originally thought about just inviting them and our professors. Later, I considered adding a few elders from the Qilin Clan to finalize the fourth child’s name. But looking at it now, merely inviting these Beastmen probably isn’t appropriate anymore."

Grandma Shi’s eyes lit up. "Do you plan to invite the Python Clan as well?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "Since I formed a bond with my Beast Husbands, I haven’t paid my respects to their elders yet. That was improper of me. Regardless of the reasons, my consideration in this matter was somewhat lacking.

"I also want to invite Shen Mianzhou’s elders, Beast Husband Lorenzo’s elders, and Beast Husband Samuel’s elders. Additionally, one or two business partners of the Zhan Family."

A smile tugged at the corners of Gu Weilan’s lips, and she couldn’t help but let a hint of her domineering nature show in her eyes.

"Sometimes, there’s no point in keeping one’s success a secret. I just want those Beastmen who look down on my Beast Husbands to understand that they didn’t make a mistake in choosing me. They made the right choice—an exceptional choice! An absolutely perfect one!"
