Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Eating Meat with Conditions

Gu Weilan turned her head and bit down on Shi Lingfeng’s lips, eliciting a muffled groan from him. It wasn’t hard for her to notice his physical changes. The tips of her ears flushed a faint red as she released his lips, whispering softly, "Stop messing around. We’ll talk about this tonight."

With that, she stood up and headed straight to the research lab.

Shi Lingfeng took a deep breath. He sat for a moment until his mood settled slightly, then got up to check on the cubs being cared for by the nanny robot. After making sure the cubs were perfectly fine, he headed down to the basement gym for a workout.

In the research lab, Gu Weilan prepared the twelve custom portions of Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid for Professor Andrew, Professor Jiang Mingzhu, and Branch Dean Shan Minghui. She then dispatched courier robots to deliver the items directly to their doors.

Inside the spatial dimension, she looked at the medicinal plants and frowned. "I keep feeling like these century-old plants haven’t been restored to their original state."

"Of course," Pomegranate Seed chimed in. "I had you, Host, use your Space Element Awakened Talent Technique, Synchronized Binding, to forcibly pull them into this space.

"You haven’t been using the Synchronized Binding Talent Skill to reinforce the space lately, have you? This space is too large. With your current Beast Rank, Host, you can’t sustain it.

"You need to reinforce this space frequently."

Gu Weilan sighed, thinking, "I plan to find some time to repair Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin’s Spiritual Seas.

"I always feel like they might be the targets of some Insect Clan conspiracy."

Pomegranate Seed rolled over, propping up its pomegranate-shaped head, and sighed within Gu Weilan’s mind. "Isn’t that obvious to anyone with eyes?

"The Insect Mother spawned a few of the parasitic insect clan. Although the parasitic insect clan is very weak, they can devour a Beastman’s central nervous system and make them act according to the Insect Clan’s will.

"Fortunately, there weren’t many of the parasitic insect clan. Last time they parasitized Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin, you eradicated them.

"However, they parasitized two other Beastmen, making them use Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin’s Light Brain Chips to disguise themselves as those two and lead the legions to their deaths. They almost succeeded.

"If you hadn’t reported the parasite incident at the time, they would have controlled the Beastmen posing as Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin, leading the Beastmen of the two legions right into the Insect Clan’s encirclement."

Gu Weilan narrowed her eyes. She was no saint, but she still held a certain level of respect for the soldiers guarding the frontiers. The actions of the Insect Clan truly left her rather displeased.

"But, Host, I’m not telling you this to make you pity Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin," Pomegranate Seed continued. "I find the ugly attitudes of their elders completely repulsive too! If we’re going to eat, we should eat well. There’s no need to force ourselves to suffer grievances.

"Now that you hold the patented formulas for the Cultivation Liquid and the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid, all the Beastmen in the Interstellar Alliance owe you their highest respect! The White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Clans have indeed made outstanding contributions to the peace of the Interstellar Alliance.

"But that’s no excuse for them to look down on others and say those nasty things.

"As a Host guided by me, Pomegranate Seed, you’re meant to enjoy good fortune and sweetness! You are absolutely not meant to suffer hardships or be taken advantage of!"

Hearing her system say this made Gu Weilan quite happy. While preparing the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid ordered by Liu Ruoxi, Zhuoma, Jin Taoyao, and Laura, she hummed a tune, her whole being filled with extreme joy and comfort.

After utilizing her Space Element Awakened Talent Technique, Synchronized Binding, for a moment, Gu Weilan went to the basement gym and grabbed the Silver-spotted Cat to take upstairs. The Bald Chicken, which had now grown some fluff, anxiously flapped its wings and followed Gu Weilan into her room.

Gu Weilan used her spiritual power and Wood Element Fifth Rank Awakening Talent Skill to Repair Spiritual Sea. After slightly mending the collapsed cluster of light within the Silver-spotted Cat’s Spiritual Sea, she began to feel drowsy. She used her Light Brain to contact the courier robot. Once the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid for Liu Ruoxi, Zhuoma, Jin Taoyao, and Laura was shipped out, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, she found Shi Lingfeng scooping her up from the bed.

"Dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you," he said.

As Lorenzo watched Shi Lingfeng carry Gu Weilan downstairs, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes. No matter how you looked at it, he felt it should have been his turn to accompany the Female Master. He hadn’t been at the villa for a long time. Last night, he had been discussing matters with his Mother and uncle, so he hadn’t found the time to seek out the Female Master for some affectionate cuddling. He let it go since he had missed the chance. Shouldn’t he be the one keeping the Female Master company today? Why did it look like Shi Lingfeng was planning to monopolize the Female Master tonight?

Shen Zhiqiu noticed her son holding the Incubation Pod. He was gazing at his Female Master with eyes full of adoration, yet he showed absolutely zero intention of competing for her attention. Unable to hold back, she reached out and shoved Shen Mianzhou’s arm.

Shen Mianzhou was baffled. He was just sitting in his chair—why did she shove him out of nowhere? He wondered what was wrong with his Mother this time.

Shen Zhiqiu felt completely justified in looking down on herbivorous Beastmen! Just look at him! What kind of dimwit was he? He didn’t know how to vie for favor, nor did he know how to sweet-talk. It was truly agonizing just watching him.

Supported by his father, Samuel Riel sat down next to Lorenzo, his Mother, and his uncle. Samuel Riel’s father reasoned that his son now had cubs in his belly. Once these twins were born, if they were Sea Horse Clan cubs, they would still need to be taken back to the clan territory to be raised. There was simply no need for them to compete for intimacy right now. It was better to avoid a situation where the Female Master might grow to despise them at the mere thought of them leaving with the cubs. It was better not to push themselves to the front in the first place! Why go out of their way to provoke someone’s dislike? It wasn’t like they were inherently annoying people.

Sitting at the head of the table, Gu Weilan looked at the lavish spread and asked curiously, "Who cooked all this food today?"

With a smile on his lips, Shi Lingfeng extended a hand in an inviting gesture. "Would you like to taste my cooking, Female Master?"

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "Beast Husband Shi Lingfeng’s culinary skills have improved quite a bit recently."

Shi Lingfeng smiled, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Yes, I specifically sought advice from Beast Husband Shen Mianzhou, so my cooking has progressed somewhat."

Gu Weilan looked over at Shen Mianzhou. Shen Mianzhou wore a shy smile, looking a bit embarrassed.

Shen Zhiqiu kept poking her hapless son, but the hapless son remained entirely unbothered. He even shifted his chair to the side to make room. Shen Zhiqiu was perplexed. Did she look like an exceptionally fat female? Why did he need to make so much room?

Watching their interactions, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

The meal was lively and joyful. Just as Gu Weilan put down her chopsticks, Shi Lingfeng wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and walked over to her side, sweeping her right into his arms.

Lorenzo’s Mother widened her eyes. Was this Beast Husband Shi Lingfeng really this brazen? Did he have no intention of showing any restraint in front of the elders?

The fork in Lorenzo’s hand was bent out of shape. The usual innocent look in his eyes was forcefully suppressed, leaving him looking rather gloomy.

Shi Lingfeng sneered inwardly. He keenly felt an unfriendly gaze following his back. But did he need to care?

Xie Jing glanced at Gu Weilan, only to be stunned upon discovering that Gu Weilan was actually looking back at him. The food held in his chopsticks suddenly lost its appeal. Even if Gu Weilan was just looking at his older brother through him, he would accept it! The main thing was that the Female Master was looking at him!

Shi Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, sensing that the Female Master in his arms was distracted. He thought, "Is she playing with my shirt buttons with one hand, while simultaneously making eyes at another Beast Husband?

"Heh—good, very good!"
