Chapter 26: Female Master, Open the Door!

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Female Master, Open the Door!

After a moment of silence, Shi Lingfeng finally continued moving his four little wolf legs, following Gu Weilan upstairs.

Shen Mianzhou’s eyes instantly turned red.

Xie Jing stood behind Shen Mianzhou, his mixed-race, striking face looking completely overcast.

Zhan Heng sat by the dining room, which was separated by floor-to-ceiling glass, his dark red eyes quietly watching Gu Weilan.

But Gu Weilan didn’t care what they were thinking. Even though Shen Mianzhou had arrived later, he provided the highest emotional value. He had even given her his entire fortune.

There was nothing wrong with her saying she would perform the Engraving with him, right?

In her beastman life, her wishes should come first. Was there any problem with that?

Seeing Gu Weilan heading toward his room, Shi Lingfeng hurriedly followed.

The funds he could mobilize right now were very limited, so compared to Xie Jing, the appeasement money he could give the Female Master was a paltry sum. Therefore, it was better for him not to try and seek any presence right now. After all, Shen Mianzhou had just transferred 7.2 billion Star Coins to the Female Master.

The one most eager to vie for the Female Master’s favor right now was none other than Xie Jing—the Beast Husband who had initiated the unmatching!

Shi Lingfeng was perfectly clear on the situation. Currently busy evading the overt and covert struggles within his family, he naturally couldn’t hastily use his secret stash just to please his Female Master.

After all, the transaction records of Star Coins would easily expose his whereabouts. If it drew the attention of those family members who held deep grudges against him, the trouble would be minor in comparison to the risk of dragging the Female Master into danger. If that happened, he would regret it until his dying day.

He had finally met such a gentle, kind, and emotionally stable Female Master. How could he let her fall into danger for nothing?

It wasn’t that he wanted to belittle other females, but the female masters of other families he had seen all had their flaws. Even those gentle types on the Light Brain’s Starwave, who were pursued by countless males, were not his Female Master.

The assassinations he faced in the first half of his life, and the betrayals by his siblings—perhaps all of it was just to accumulate the favor of the Beast God System! That was how he struck it lucky and matched with such an excellent Female Master!

So he made up his mind. He absolutely couldn’t let those siblings in his family, who wished him dead, find out his whereabouts or the identity of his Female Master.

Once he survived this difficult period and completely cleaned up the mess in his family, he would give his Female Master the best of everything! What other female masters had, his Female Master must have; what other female masters didn’t have, his Female Master would have too!

In Shi Lingfeng’s eyes, his Female Master deserved all the beauty in the world.

Just as he was thinking this, a ringing sound came from the door. "Female Master, open the door! It’s me! Your little ape!"

Gu Weilan looked at the video doorbell notification popping up on her Light Brain. Standing at the door of her villa was a male beastman with short black hair, wheat-colored skin, and a pair of innocent-looking almond eyes. He had a straight nose, petal-like lips, and a soft jawline.

She tapped the remote unlock button.

However, she had no intention of going to welcome him. Between a male who racked his brains to cry poor and cheat money out of her pocket, and a male who had already given her his fortune and was lining up for appeasement... Even a fool would know how to choose, right?

Gu Weilan had her Light Brain instruct the robot butler to tell Xuanshuo that she was busy giving a Beast Husband mental appeasement and that he should make himself at home.

When Xuanshuo entered, he found Xie Jing standing with his arms crossed, his silvery-white phoenix eyes slightly raised as he stared at him.

A Mo Qilin also walked over to the staircase, glanced at him, and headed upstairs on its own.

On the stairs, there was another baby-faced male beastman whose vibe somewhat clashed with his own. With velvet-brown medium-short hair and teal deer-like eyes, the male gave him a look before continuing his way up to the second floor.

Xuanshuo couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. After hearing the approaching robot butler deliver Gu Weilan’s message, he didn’t feel annoyed at being slighted.

He thought with a cold laugh, "Are these males who have never seen a female all hopelessly lovesick? If so, their money must be incredibly easy to swindle!"

Looking at Xie Jing, Xuanshuo extended a hand. "Hello, you look a bit familiar. Are you also one of the Female Master’s Beast Husbands? I’m Xuanshuo, a Ninth Rank Beastman from the Black Ape Clan."

Xie Jing’s expression turned even fouler.

He wondered, "What is this stinking ape implying? Is he purposely saying this to disgust me because the Female Master just unmatched me?"

Xie Jing didn’t care that Xuanshuo was actually completely unaware of this fact; either way, he was furious right now!

He grumbled inwardly, "Does Gu Weilan really take in every piece of dirty trash?"

He was a Fire Element Tenth Rank in Beast Rank, after all! Why would she take this stinking Ninth Rank ape and yet refuse to cancel the unmatching with him?

Shooting Xuanshuo a disdainful look, Xie Jing turned to head upstairs.

He could only comfort himself. "Hasn’t Lorenzo Snow’s unmatching also not been canceled yet? Maybe once the Female Master finishes what she’s doing..."

The moment he imagined Gu Weilan finishing her appeasement for Shi Lingfeng and collapsing into his arms... a stifling pain gripped his chest, making him want to find something to tear to shreds.

Seeing that Xie Jing was ignoring him, Xuanshuo became even more intrigued. "Did you have a falling out with the Female Master? I have a secret manual here called ’99 Ways to Please the Female Master’! Do you want to buy it? I can give you a discount!"

Xie Jing halted. Tilting his head slightly, he suppressed the eagerness in his eyes and shot a feigned look of suspicion at Xuanshuo. "Does it really work?"

Seeing this, Xuanshuo immediately sensed an opportunity.

"I bought this at a high price too!" he said hastily. "My other male friends have used it, and they all say it’s excellent!"

Xie Jing curled his lips and finally turned around. "Add me as a friend. I’ll buy a copy."

Xuanshuo immediately opened his Light Brain and added Xie Jing. He quickly renamed the file from "How to Make the Female Willingly Spend Star Coins for You" to "99 Ways to Please the Female Master" and sent it over.

In the friend list, Xie Jing’s species was listed as the Qilin Clan, Fire Element Tenth Rank... Xuanshuo trembled inwardly.

Maintaining a neutral, faint smile, he said, "It’s only three hundred thousand Star Coins. This thing is really useful. Once you study it carefully, you’ll discover its wonders!"

Without even blinking, Xie Jing transferred three hundred thousand Star Coins to Xuanshuo.

Xuanshuo still felt he had asked for too little! Even though he normally sold this book to other males for a mere 399 Star Coins a copy.

The very first page of the e-book told Xie Jing that he should occasionally prepare little surprises for the female he liked.

For example, making her some small trinkets by hand...

Xie Jing frowned. He suddenly remembered how Gu Weilan had eaten a few bites of the Little Qilin cookies from his tray earlier!

He thought, "Then I’ll just make something delicious for the Female Master!" He had secretly noticed that she actually loved good food.

His foot, which was originally stepping toward the stairs, pivoted, and he headed straight for the kitchen instead.

Xuanshuo furrowed his brows and opened the Star Network on his Light Brain. As soon as he searched for Xie Jing, he immediately knew who he was!

Wasn’t this the second-largest shareholder of the Nutritionist brand nutrient solutions?

Then... didn’t that make the Mo Qilin from earlier Zhan Heng, the largest shareholder of the Nutritionist brand?

He wondered, "Could they both be Beast Husbands matched to the female Gu Weilan?"

Glancing around, Xuanshuo quietly opened the dark web on his Light Brain.

He remembered that someone had been trying to buy information on Zhan Heng and Xie Jing earlier!
