Chapter 31: The School Doctor’s Regret

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The School Doctor’s Regret

Gu Weilan smiled lightly and looked at the female school doctor. "I don’t feel any discomfort. It’s just that I awakened my Ice Beast Rank, and I feel like my awakened Ice Element Talent Skill can condense the moisture in the air into Ice Mist..."

The female school doctor tapped open Gu Weilan’s test results, her eyes widening slightly as her expression fluctuated back and forth.

Gu Weilan’s heart skipped a beat. She put on a practiced fake smile. "Doctor, could you tell me... is there something wrong?"

The school doctor waved her hands and quickly explained, "The female Gu Weilan, your Fertility... rose to 1, and then dropped back down to 0.5."

The female school doctor felt that putting it so bluntly was simply too discouraging, so she hastily adopted what she considered a more tactful tone to explain the true reason behind her shifting expressions:

"Your Ice Beast Rank and its awakened Talent Skill, if utilized well, are actually very suitable for a Warrior Class military position.

"For instance, what if you didn’t freeze the moisture in the air, but instead froze the fluids inside a Star Beast, or within the bodies of the Insect Clan?

"The ability of your Beast Rank could literally kill Star Beasts without a trace.

"However, looking at your major, you’ve chosen Pharmacy...

"Therefore, your Ice Beast Rank won’t be of much help to your future career plans.

"And your Fertility... might make it impossible for your exceptionally outstanding bloodline and talents to be passed down.

"I felt a bit of pity for you, which is why I lost control of my expression and made you feel uncomfortable. I’m very sorry."

Gu Weilan waved her hand dismissively as well. "It’s fine. My Beast Husbands are willing to use the Incubation Pod to birth cubs for me. Who knows, maybe my offspring will manage to inherit my powerful bloodline anyway?"

Xuanshuo narrowed his eyes and scoffed inwardly, "Where does she get the nerve to think I’d be willing to hug that massive Incubation Pod just to birth cubs for her?"

Lorenzo frowned slightly and scratched his cheek.

Shen Mianzhou’s eyes widened a fraction. He pursed his lips and didn’t utter a word.

The school doctor frowned, her tone sincere. "It’s not that females with low Fertility haven’t tried this method before, but..."

In truth, the results were never great. The outcome was roughly the same as Beastmen born from male-male couples using an Incubation Pod. Although the aptitude of Beastmen born from a male-female union via the Incubation Pod was indeed superior, it was only slightly so.

Not wanting to sound entirely hopeless, the school doctor offered genuine encouragement instead. "Perhaps your genes are remarkably strong and your bloodline talents are exceptional. Maybe your cubs will manage to inherit them after all?"

Before Gu Weilan could respond, the Beast God System in her mind started clamoring, "Definitely! Absolutely! Rest assured, Host! The energy you brought from the Apocalypse, your modified genes, plus the Cultivation Liquid we prepared for the Incubation Pod, will absolutely ensure the embryos grow robustly!"

Gu Weilan smiled and nodded at the doctor. "That’s exactly what I was thinking."

The female doctor didn’t stick around. After giving Gu Weilan a few precautions, she left.

Shen Mianzhou was just about to ask if Gu Weilan felt uncomfortable anywhere else when he heard her stomach let out a loud, wailing GRUMBLE.

For males to let a female starve to this extent meant they were incredibly incompetent and cruel. If such a situation occurred three times, the males could even face public prosecution by the Light Brain monitors and be dragged to court!

Promptly, Shi Lingfeng chimed in, "The Beast Husband Shen Mianzhou and Housekeeper Zhan Ci have already prepared the food. Does Female Master want to eat first?"

Gu Weilan nodded repeatedly.

Sitting in the dining room downstairs, Gu Weilan simply told everyone, "Please, make yourselves at home and eat as you please," before digging in heartily.

She couldn’t stop praising the light dishes Shen Mianzhou had cooked, such as the mutated green beans stir-fried with minced Star Beast Meat, and the Star Beast shrimp paired with Indian lettuce.

However, she preferred dishes with heavier flavors.

As a result, her chopsticks constantly reached out for the sweet and sour pork, the spicy boiled pork slices, and the stir-fried pork.

Gu Weilan was genuinely starving. She felt that if she didn’t eat diligently, her internal organs would attack one another and consume each other for sustenance.

For a solid half-hour, she ate ferociously.

Having finally recovered somewhat, her eating pace slowed down.

Though Shi Lingfeng didn’t say a word as he ate in silence, he kept a close eye on Gu Weilan’s condition.

Shen Mianzhou constantly monitored his Female Master’s health metrics on his Light Brain, occasionally taking a small bite of his food.

Xie Jing wanted to ask Gu Weilan questions several times, but seeing her buried in her meal, he refrained from disturbing her.

Lorenzo Snow, on the other hand, was completely carefree. He was genuinely there just to eat, occasionally placing dishes he found tasty into Gu Weilan’s bowl.

Meanwhile, Xuanshuo stole glances at Gu Weilan while quietly observing the other Beast Husbands. He silently memorized all their names and sent them to the dark web’s information department, purchasing estimated reports on their combat strengths and financial standings!

Stuck maintaining his cub Beast Form, Zhan Heng sat right beside Gu Weilan’s leg. He leaned against her calf, feeling her pulse gradually regain its robust rhythm. Sensing that she was recovering well, he finally felt a wave of relief.

When Gu Weilan finished her meal, she finally felt alive again.

The moment she set down her chopsticks, Shi Lingfeng elegantly lowered his bowl and chopsticks as well.

He looked at her, asking with gentle concern, "Female Master, while you awakened your Ice Beast Rank this time, did you also awaken a Wood Talent Skill?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "That’s right. However... my Wood Beast Talent Skill... seems to only have a refreshing and invigorating effect. It doesn’t appear to be particularly useful."

In reality, that wasn’t the case at all. Being at the Fifth Rank of the Wood Beast Rank, her Awakened Talent Technique seemed to be an incredibly powerful skill! However, she hadn’t tested it yet and wasn’t entirely sure.

Moreover, her instincts told her not to mention it in front of Xuanshuo. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he harbored malicious intentions toward her. She wanted to see exactly how much malice this male could generate right under her nose, and what he intended to do to her!

Although Gu Weilan had been taught since childhood that a wise person steers clear of obvious danger, she had spent ten years tempering herself in the Apocalypse. She possessed a certain level of self-preservation skills; even in the worst-case scenario, she always had a way to escape.

Currently, they were inside the Central Beastman Academy, surrounded by so many Beast Husbands matched to her by the Beast God System. On top of that, they were under the special protection of the relatively comprehensive interstellar beast technique specifically designed for females. If she couldn’t figure out and neutralize this male’s malice under such safe conditions... then her future plans of heading to a Deserted Star or other Resource Stars would be nothing but a pipe dream!

If she couldn’t protect herself in a secure environment, how could she possibly survive in a far more dangerous one?

Therefore, Gu Weilan kept Xuanshuo around, with no intention of revealing all her secrets.

Looking at her, Shi Lingfeng faintly sensed that she wasn’t telling the whole truth.

Shen Mianzhou, however, hurriedly jumped to her defense. "Female Master just awakened her Talent Skill and hasn’t even had the chance to test or master it yet. Isn’t it a bit too hasty to ask her about it right now?"

Xie Jing tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Seeing that the energy surrounding Gu Weilan seemed to have stabilized, his posture in the chair grew slightly more languid.

"Upgrading your Beast Rank is beneficial to your body. I’ve already asked Housekeeper Zhan to purchase Ice Element Star Cores. Remember to absorb one or two of them later. Consolidating your Beast Rank will make it easier for you to master your Talent Skill."
