Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Overthinking Poor Little Shen Mianzhou

Gu Weilan thought for a moment before saying directly, "Move all the clothes in Shen Mianzhou’s closet to mine. Then, convert his closet into a waterproof and moisture-proof indoor seawater pool."

Zhan Heng furrowed his brow slightly. "Wouldn’t that room be too small? It’s only a little over forty square meters."

Gu Weilan shook her head. "It’s fine. Let’s remodel that room first. After the banquet is over, we’ll remodel the backyard too."

Xie Jing raised his hand weakly. "Isn’t this a bit too rushed? Shouldn’t we wait until the cubs are born and confirm whether they belong to the Dolphin Clan before making these changes?"

"Host, you have a luck buff. With this buff, whatever you desire in your heart will naturally tilt reality in your favor," Pomegranate Seed explained to Gu Weilan.

Gu Weilan patted Xie Jing’s shoulder and smiled warmly. "Don’t worry about it!"

Xie Jing raised no further objections. His Female Master had patted his shoulder. Sitting beside her like this, he felt that all he needed to do was wait quietly for the cubs to be born.

Shen Mianzhou also had no objections upon learning of Gu Weilan’s arrangements. The mere thought of his clothes hanging alongside hers filled him with joy. His only source of anxiety right now was his Mother.

When his Mother found out that the Female Master he had matched and formed a bond with was from the Mole Clan, the look in her eyes during their video call had been full of disdain. It had terrified him so much that he hadn’t even dared to seek his Female Master’s favor that night.

For the past few days, he had been wholeheartedly explaining his Female Master’s patents to his Mother and Father. However, the moment his dear Mother heard that his Female Master was preparing to enter the Beast God Matching Center system again, she seemed to hatch some ulterior motives!

Lying beside Shen Mianzhou, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but feel curious when she saw his worry-laden expression.

"What’s wrong? You’ve been so absent-minded these past few days. You even gave up your exclusive time with me to Zhan Heng and Ling Feng. Do you have another female in your heart?" Gu Weilan teased. Propping up her chin as she lay next to a freshly showered Shen Mianzhou, she poked his firm biceps.

Shen Mianzhou pursed his lips, the corners of his eyes instantly turning red. Gu Weilan raised an eyebrow, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn’t even done anything yet! Why did her little Beast Husband look like he was about to cry?

"My Mother... At first, my Mother was upset that I had formed a bond without telling her. Later, after I told her about your situation, Female Master, it seems like she wants to bring several of my brothers over."

Gu Weilan frowned and closed her eyes. Shen Mianzhou panicked, terrified that his Female Master would despise him because of this. He reached out and tentatively covered her fair fingers resting on the bed.

Gu Weilan said softly, "Mianzhou, don’t be so nervous. We are wife and husband; you are the partner I will spend the rest of my life with. If something is bothering you, you need to tell me.

"You’ve been constantly pushing me away these past few days. Then, the morning after I rest with Zhan Heng or Ling Feng, you look at me with incredibly sad eyes. It left me completely confused. I couldn’t tell if you wanted me to spend more time with you, or if you were just enjoying the misery of pushing me away.

"Your behavior completely baffled me. So, it was all because of this?"

Shen Mianzhou felt wronged, he felt terribly sad, and he also felt incredibly stupid.

Gu Weilan stroked Shen Mianzhou’s velvet-brown hair. A thin mist gathered in his anxious, deer-like eyes, making his teal irises look even more pitiful and touching.

Gu Weilan took a deep breath and adjusted Shen Mianzhou into a position where she could comfortably lie against his chest. Leaning over his heart, she asked softly, "No matter how unreasonable your Mother is, could she be worse than Zhan Heng and Xie Jing’s mothers?"

Shen Mianzhou hurriedly replied, "That wouldn’t happen. My Mother is a Beastman of the Dream-Eating Tapir Clan. We aren’t a large Beast Clan, so she wouldn’t dare claim a Female Master’s belongings as her own."

Shen Mianzhou tried his best to sound impartial. However, Gu Weilan couldn’t fail to hear the underlying truth. If the Dream-Eating Tapir Clan were a major Beast Clan with millions of Beastmen, Shen Mianzhou’s Mother might very well act exactly like Xie Jinglan. She only lacked the power to do so; otherwise, she would absolutely harbor such greedy ambitions!

Gu Weilan draped her leg over Shen Mianzhou’s and reached up to knead his earlobe. "So, you’re worried that your Mother wants to force your older or younger brothers into our home?"

Shen Mianzhou gave a muffled sound of agreement. "That’s why I haven’t dared to use the Incubation Pod right now. I’m terrified that if I use it to conceive a cub, it’ll give them an excuse to stay."

Gu Weilan didn’t see it that way. Pinching Shen Mianzhou’s ear, she fell deep into thought.

"Let’s do this. Tonight, we will use the Incubation Pod," Gu Weilan said softly.

Immediately after, she heard the THUMP THUMP THUMP of a rapidly accelerating heartbeat beneath her ear. Shen Mianzhou was so anxious that he actually started to cry. Tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes, sliding down his temples and along his hair before dripping onto the pillow. His voice was heavy and muffled with congestion, but unwilling to disobey his Female Master’s wishes, he could only reply in aggrieved submission, "Mhm, okay."

Gu Weilan found Shen Mianzhou incredibly endearing, but she knew that if she kept bullying him like this, she’d end up torturing him to death. He might even end up crying while aggressively making love to her out of spite. Still, because he had spent so long on the front lines, her heart always ached for him a little more. After all, from the very beginning, Shen Mianzhou was the only one who had remained utterly unwavering in his desire to be her Beast Husband.

She had originally intended for him to be her primary Beast Husband. Yet, in the end, her first Beast Husband was not him, nor was he the first to conceive her cub. Furthermore, his personality... wasn’t entirely suited for the role of Gu Weilan’s primary Beast Husband anyway.

Gu Weilan felt that she had quietly let Shen Mianzhou down in many ways and that she should treat him with more kindness. So, gently patting him on the back, she shared her true thoughts with him.

"Mianzhou, if your older and younger brothers come to our house, do you really think I will definitely like them?"

Shen Mianzhou choked back a sob. He felt that although his older brother was good-looking, he couldn’t compare to the domineering and flamboyant aura of Zhan Heng Beast Husband. He lacked the quiet, calculating brilliance of Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband, the noble and arrogant elegance of Lorenzo Beast Husband, and the exquisite, innocent beauty of Sairiel. His older brother was handsome, but only a few degrees better-looking than himself. His younger brother wasn’t even as attractive as he was, and being only nineteen, still had five years left before reaching adulthood.

Even if his Mother brought his cousins along, they probably wouldn’t catch his Female Master’s eye. His Female Master was quite picky, after all.

Shen Mianzhou pursed his lips before finally saying, "I don’t think you’d be interested in them, Female Master. But..."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mianzhou thought about his Mother’s personality. Having no other choice, he voiced his deepest fear. "I’m worried my Mother will force them to seduce you, Female Master. If that happens, I’m afraid things will end up very ugly."

Gu Weilan waved her hand dismissively. "There won’t be any alcohol at our banquet."

It was true that in the spatial dimension she had absorbed, many jugs of fruit wine lay buried in the dirt beside the ruined houses. However, those were premium wines aged for hundreds, even thousands of years. To be honest, she didn’t believe the small banquet in a few days was worthy of such fine liquor. Simply bringing out fruit juices with incredibly low pollution levels was more than enough to be considered treating the guests well. It was best not to bring out the priceless vintage wines hidden in her spatial dimension.

She didn’t have many virtues, but being incredibly selfish was one of them. Therefore, she was perfectly willing to let her Beast Husbands at home enjoy those good things in private. But letting other Beastmen have a taste? Forget it. It wasn’t as if she needed to beg these Beastmen for some life-saving favor. Letting everyone drink high-purity fruit juice was already showing them a tremendous amount of respect.
