Chapter 27: Why Carry a Wooden Club Around?

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Why Carry a Wooden Club Around?

Gu Weilan arrived at Shi Lingfeng’s door. In front of every Beast Husband’s room, an electronic screen displayed either their name or a portrait of their Beast Form. The screen at Shi Lingfeng’s door showed a picture of him in his cub Beast Form. He had noticed that Gu Weilan seemed to really love his severely injured cub form, so he had secretly used the image as his digital nameplate.

Entering Shi Lingfeng’s room, Gu Weilan was surprised to find that the decor wasn’t the sleek, minimalist style she had imagined. Instead, it was warm and cozy. Shi Lingfeng followed close to her feet, obviously a bit nervous and constrained.

However, Gu Weilan had already comforted Xie Jing over a dozen times! Naturally, she skillfully scooped Shi Lingfeng up into her arms. She placed him on the bed and extended her right index finger to tap the center of his forehead.

When Gu Weilan’s spiritual power probed into Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea, she saw a dazzling golden mountain! A golden mountain constantly being swept by fierce, black gales!

Instinctively, Gu Weilan’s eyes lit up. Oh my god, she was looking at a literal mountain of gold!

Her spiritual power released a gentle light, dispersing the black dust particles caught in the gale. She stared greedily at the slightly desolate-looking golden mountain... No, desolate, my foot! What could possibly be desolate about a mountain of gold!

However, Gu Weilan only stayed in Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea for three minutes before she was pushed out.

Puzzled, she looked at the weak... man... no, male Beastman in front of her. He had short blue-black hair and sharply defined facial features. Yet, he didn’t look overly tough; instead, his slightly furrowed sword-like eyebrows gave him a touch of gentle frailty. His high-bridged nose was paired with slightly narrow peach-blossom eyes set under high brow ridges. His irises were the deep blue-gray of a Ragdoll cat, and his red lips were parted slightly as he panted, looking as though he had just done something incredibly strenuous.

Gu Weilan hurriedly pressed her hands against Shi Lingfeng’s chest, about to get up. As a result, her eyes inadvertently dropped, catching sight of his impressively large chest muscles—and their cherry-pink tips. Her eyes, seemingly with a mind of their own, continued tracing down Shi Lingfeng’s lean and powerful six-pack abs...

Oh my! Why was he carrying a wooden club around with him, and why was it pitched up, ready for work!

No, no, no... this wasn’t right!

"Female Master!" Shi Lingfeng gasped, seeing the nosebleed dripping onto his chest. Accompanied by his soft exclamation, Gu Weilan passed out right on the spot.

Gu Weilan was only out for a few seconds before she actually woke up, but she felt her ears burning red! She shrank back, not wanting to face the entirely exposed Shi Lingfeng in front of her.

Shi Lingfeng actually sensed that Gu Weilan was awake. He gently wiped the blood from under her nose, then took a small, white nasal plug from the bedside medical kit and inserted it into her nostril, stopping the bleeding.

Gu Weilan’s mind was racing. "Ah, a foreign object... was inserted? Ah... what am I thinking! Help! I don’t want to open my eyes!"

The corners of Shi Lingfeng’s mouth, which naturally turned down, now curled up slightly. He had no intention of putting Gu Weilan down. He gently used his long, slender fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Watching her ears turn increasingly red, he even noticed a fine layer of sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Shi Lingfeng decided he couldn’t tease the Female Master anymore; any further, and it might backfire. So, he carefully laid the Gu Weilan in his arms onto the bed and got up to head to the bathroom.

Gu Weilan waited until the pattering sound of running water came from the bathroom before she snapped her eyes open. She touched her nose, scrambled up, and frantically bolted out of the room.

By the time Shi Lingfeng finished his shower and came out, he found the bed completely empty. He felt a bit disappointed, but not the least bit discouraged. His Little Female Master was just too cute... It seemed he liked her even more now!

However, Shi Lingfeng felt that something was off about Gu Weilan’s state when she was performing the spiritual comfort. She had clearly comforted Xie Jing eleven times already. How could she still not know that she should withdraw in time when her Spiritual Sea felt even slightly fatigued?

Earlier, it was Shi Lingfeng himself who had controlled the pace. He had to restrain his Spiritual Sea’s instinctive greed for her gentle spiritual power in order to push her spiritual power out of his mind. Shi Lingfeng planned to discuss this matter with Xie Jing... No, he wanted to see the Female Master more, so he would just ask her directly!

From the Space Button secretly sent by his subordinates, Shi Lingfeng dug out a solid black, form-fitting, short-sleeved shirt and paired it with black trousers. Looking in the mirror, he inspected himself and then took out a pair of silver half-rimmed glasses from the Space Button. It even had a long, silver-white chain that draped behind his neck. He ruffled his hair to make it look like he hadn’t deliberately styled it.

Meanwhile, Gu Weilan was hugging Zhan Heng, squishing and petting him vigorously while muttering under her breath. "How could I... How could I... Ah... Ah... I’m acting like a..."

She was acting like a pervert... How did this happen! How did this happen!

Gu Weilan hadn’t yet recovered from her embarrassment. In fact, her overly excited petting of the Mo Qilin had left her ears and cheeks completely flushed.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...

Instead of ringing the electronic doorbell, Shi Lingfeng chose to knock on the Female Master’s door. Gu Weilan tossed Zhan Heng, whom she had been rubbing for half the day, onto the bed and went to open the door.

The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by a tall, ascetic intellectual with a dangerously alluring vibe. Gu Weilan cleared her throat, forcing down the corners of her lips that had involuntarily curled up from the critical hit of his striking good looks. She averted her eyes, pretending to be a perfectly proper Beastman who wouldn’t entertain any wild thoughts. "What is it?"

Hearing Gu Weilan’s cold and detached tone, Shi Lingfeng felt a bit anxious. Did the Female Master not like his outfit? However, the most pressing issue was the problem with Gu Weilan’s Spiritual Sea.

Using his deep, mature Uncle Qing voice, Shi Lingfeng asked softly, "Female Master, is it convenient for me to enter? There’s something I want to ask you."

Gu Weilan’s almond-shaped eyes instantly widened. What? Enter? Enter where? Ah?

Standing at 188 centimeters, Shi Lingfeng easily spotted the Mo Qilin crawling to the edge of the large bed in the room! As if terrified that Shi Lingfeng wouldn’t see him, Zhan Heng had purposely crawled to the very edge of the foot of the bed.

The dark look in Shi Lingfeng’s eyes deepened. A hint of loneliness involuntarily appeared on his face. "Is it not allowed? Then we..."

Gu Weilan snapped back to her senses. Her mind, currently overflowing with dirty thoughts, had been wildly taking his words out of context, making her want to bury herself alive. She quickly stepped aside, lowering her head as she stammered, "Uh... well... please come in..."

Before, when she found out she had been matched with so many Beast Husbands, she had been secretly thrilled. But as the Beast Husbands threw all sorts of requests to cancel the matches at her, she had calmed down. In her daily life, she had shifted her focus back to her studies, so she didn’t have any real sense of having several handsome Beast Husbands.

However, she felt she couldn’t really be blamed for this, right? After all, Beast Husband Zhan Heng; Xie Jing, who canceled the match but stayed for comforting; Beast Husband Shi Lingfeng... a few days ago, they had all just been little animals! They had been in their animal forms! The visual impact was completely different! So, it was only now that she truly felt the reality of having a few remarkably handsome Beast Husbands.

Shi Lingfeng entered Gu Weilan’s room and noticed that the base color was a champagne pink, while the vanity and other furniture were a creamy white. And Gu Weilan was merely a bit flustered; it wasn’t that she disliked him!

The corners of Shi Lingfeng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.
