Chapter 117: Chapter 117: She Is Re-entering the Matching Center

Shi Lingfeng forced the corners of his mouth down, suppressing his pride and smugness.

He had chosen Gu Weilan; how could his grandmother, his Grandma, and his Great Grandmother not have scolded him for it? It went without saying what kind of family the Shi family was. By the time Grandma Shi and the elders found out he had chosen an unknown Female Master, he already had a cub with Gu Weilan!

But the moment they heard the cub was being grown in an Incubation Pod, they turned their noses up at it. Even when Shi Lingfeng repeatedly assured them that the cub was conceived from both their egg and sperm after mating, Grandma Shi and the elders were still dismissive.

It wasn’t until Shi Lingfeng sent them a series of data that they finally came over to help him transfer energy!

Shi Lingfeng felt that his Female Master was a Beastman with hidden depths. Therefore, by saying what she did, she wanted to send a message to Grandma Shi and the elders, forcing them to quickly suppress the nasty squabbles among Shi Lingfeng’s siblings.

In the past, he had assisted his Female Master, but hadn’t she also supported him and backed him up in countless ways? This kind of dynamic between a Female Master and a Beast Husband was exactly what he had always dreamed of. Shi Lingfeng’s heart was overflowing with joy.

Meanwhile, Zhan Heng and Shen Mianzhou had finished cooking and came over at just the right time to call everyone to dinner. As they sat together, they chatted for a while about the banquet to be held in ten days.

Noticing that Xie Jing was pursing his lips and barely touching his food, Zhan Heng couldn’t help but ask, "Female Master, are we really not inviting... anyone from the Dolphin Clan?"

Gu Weilan looked at Zhan Heng, then at Xie Jing. The soft murmurs at the dining table fell silent.

She sighed. "Have they really treated you two brothers well?

"From what I’ve seen, not only do they treat you poorly, but they don’t even give you the basic respect a Beastman deserves.

"You guys might not fully understand what kind of female I am yet. Mainly because since we’ve been together, we haven’t run into any real issues. When everything is smooth sailing, you think I’m very easygoing.

"Now, I might as well lay it out for you. I am the kind of female who highly values my own feelings.

"If they don’t respect you as individual Beastmen and you’re willing to endure it, that’s your business. As long as you don’t outsource your filial piety to me, I can turn a blind eye to it.

"After all, you’re the ones who have lived and interacted with them. I won’t judge or get involved in your emotional entanglements. As long as things are passable on the surface, I can play along with the facade of a big, happy family.

"However, if they use the excuse of your relationship with me to come running into my face and disrespect me as an individual Beastman, I absolutely will not tolerate it.

"I will not discard my self-respect and let them throw their weight around in front of me just because you share a close relationship with them.

"We all only live once."

The system spoke in her mind, "Don’t you feel guilty saying that? Host, you’ve lived two lives, which is why you see things so clearly."

"Don’t ruin my moment. Shut up," she replied inwardly.

"Okey-dokey!" it chimed.

"If I didn’t have the capability, I wouldn’t mind playing the role of a submissive granddaughter," she continued aloud. "After all, who doesn’t start as a granddaughter before eventually becoming a grandmother themselves?

"But now that I am capable, being bossed around like a lowly granddaughter by irrelevant Beastmen is—unacceptable!"

Grandma Shi exchanged a glance with her mother and grandmother, a sense of admiration and fondness rising in all of their eyes.

If an incapable female said these words, the elders would consider her arrogant and conceited. However, coming from a talented, intelligent, and capable female, they only found this young woman to be wonderfully perceptive and exactly to their taste! She was absolutely right!

They felt that if the little cub grew up by Gu Weilan’s side, it wouldn’t necessarily lack educational resources. In any case, within three to five years, they could definitely straighten out the unworthy descendants of the Shi family. (There is a massive difference between unworthy descendants and unfilial descendants; unworthy descendants refers to those with poor moral character, while unfilial descendants simply means those who are disobedient and disrespectful to their elders. The difference is significant.)

And in three to five years, once Shi Lingfeng had fully recovered his health, what if he got pregnant again?

Besides, never mind three to five years from now. Just looking at the present—Xie Jing, Samuel, and Lorenzo, who had returned home to ask his elders and relatives for help transferring energy to nourish his cub—all of them were currently pregnant!

With all these cubs popping out one after another... Grandma Shi felt both overjoyed and struck by a massive headache just thinking about it.

Were cubs that easy to raise? Heh... Beastmen who had never raised a cub would be thoroughly humbled after just a year or two of doing it. Although there were specialized nanny robots now, what parent could ever be completely at ease leaving their child to a machine?

Well... they didn’t know this, but Gu Weilan could!

Of course, that was a matter for the future. They assumed Gu Weilan would eventually hand the little female cub over to them for caretaking. However, there was a massive difference between sooner and later!

Zhan Heng’s initial budding thought of inviting his mother over to mend her relationship with his Female Master also faded. He had only spoken up to advocate for Xie Jing. But since his Female Master’s stance was so resolute, there was no need for him to keep bringing it up and upsetting her.

Zhan Heng changed the subject. "The Qilin Clan elders have come up with a good name. Our fourth cub will be named Zhanshao. Female Master, what do you think?"

Gu Weilan was slightly surprised. "I thought they would wait until the banquet in a few days to propose the name."

That was exactly what they had intended, but Zhan Heng was just trying to ease the awkward tension from the previous topic. They chatted for a bit longer, and the entire meal ended on a harmonious and pleasant note.

Gu Weilan led her three Beast Husbands in using the Bloodline Purification Bath. When the consolidated data came out five days later, she immediately summoned Pharmacy Professor Andrew, Botany Professor Jiang Mingzhu, and Shan Minghui, the Dean of the Agriculture and Technology Branch.

Upon their arrival, they couldn’t help but marvel enviously at the data.

"You’re already an adult, yet you managed to reduce the impure bloodlines, or turn them into recessive genes, allowing the power of the bloodline to further advance without disrupting genetic equilibrium!" Andrew was profoundly shocked.

Jiang Mingzhu, on the other hand, was studying the list of over a dozen medicinal ingredients Gu Weilan had laid out. She pursed her lips and said, "The pollution tolerance for these ingredients isn’t as strict as it is for the Cultivation Liquid, but they’re still quite rare. The main issue is their scarcity! The cost of the medicinal liquid for this bath is incredibly high!"

Shan Minghui reviewed the data over and over. She was more concerned about whether the academy had the capacity to take on such massive orders once the patent was released.

With the support of the academy’s fast-track system, the patent was quickly approved. The contract signing also went exceptionally smoothly.

Shan Minghui looked at Jiang Mingzhu. "You’re taking advantage of this way too much! The female Gu Weilan isn’t even your student, yet she repeatedly boosts your performance record and brings you benefits. You’ve gained more from her than the professors in her own major!"

Jiang Mingzhu looked exceedingly smug. "I’ve always said it: a good potion absolutely cannot do without natural plants. Yet, so many Beastmen stubbornly believe that potions extracted from minerals or artificially synthesized are the best.

"Heh—if you ask me, the female Gu Weilan was born to be my student. If she’s willing to transfer majors, our department will absolutely give her the best treatment."

Andrew’s eyes practically bulged out of his head in rage, but he suppressed his rising panic and sneered. "The female Gu Weilan is going to undergo rematching soon. And a genius, eligible golden bachelor in Pharmacy is currently in the matching pool of the Beast God Matching Center!

"I think they are a match made in heaven in terms of talent, so there is a high probability they will be paired together. Does Botany have any genius single males? Heh—"

Jiang Mingzhu shot Andrew a look of utter contempt, but a calculating thought sparked in her mind. It was true that most Botany geniuses were females, but she, Jiang Mingzhu, had a son! What an idiot!
