Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Newly Awakened Talent Skill

Because if he did that, Gu Weilan wouldn’t be considered to have dissolved bonds with more than half of her Beast Husbands.

Then, when he submitted the unmatching request, she wouldn’t hit cancel just because she didn’t want to be matched with even more Beast Husbands!

Thinking quickly on his feet, Xie Jing immediately looked at Xuanshuo. "You don’t seem to like our Female Master very much. If you want to unmatch, shouldn’t you seize the opportunity? It’s now or never!"

Xuanshuo narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, an idea instantly forming in his mind.

He wondered if, after scamming Gu Weilan out of her Star Coins and tricking this bunch of her Beast Husbands, he could also demand a sum from Xie Jing. How many Star Coins would it take to buy his willingness to propose unmatching with Gu Weilan?

Gu Weilan looked at Xuanshuo, feeling as though the guy was practically oozing with devious plots.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, Xuanshuo couldn’t help but look at Gu Weilan, articulating each word carefully.

"I might be a male who is rather slow to warm up. Could you give me a little more time to consider? After all, cubs raised in Incubation Pods are basically just cannon fodder units.

"And Incubation Pods require males to release massive amounts of Beast Rank Energy to nourish them.

"I don’t know if I can accept that. I still need to think it over seriously."

As he spoke, Xuanshuo discreetly evaluated all the males present.

He simply couldn’t believe they would seek out a Female Master without considering Gu Weilan’s abysmally low Fertility. Was it all just because they wanted her quick Beast Rank promotion, thinking it was enough as long as she could calm their Spiritual Seas?

If so, why not just use calming agents?

That was just the kind of person Xuanshuo was. In his eyes, any idea he couldn’t comprehend was completely impractical and utterly stupid.

He felt that his Beast Rank was high and his personal potential was excellent, so there was no need to worry about not getting matched again.

After all, so what if the outside world claimed the male-to-female ratio was drastically disproportionate?

The Beast God Matching System inherently had strict screening rules: those males with obvious genetic breakdowns would never be entered into the gene pool at all.

Even the offspring born from males forming bonds with other males weren’t in the competitive matching queue.

It was worth noting that out of the entire interstellar population of seventy billion Beastmen, a staggering thirty billion were male cannon fodder Beastmen with genetic defects.

Calculated this way, the seemingly one-to-five-thousand male-to-female ratio wasn’t actually that disparate in the true matching pool.

Moreover, among the males participating in the matching, a Fertility of two or three was the norm, and reaching five was considered quite good.

Yet, not only did he possess top-tier aptitude, but his Fertility was also as high as seven.

With his qualifications, even if he unmatched with Gu Weilan, the probability of being matched to a new Female Master was extremely high.

Therefore, Xuanshuo didn’t feel that finally being matched with a female was such a big deal.

However, if he was going to unmatch, he had to rake in enough Star Coins first!

Gu Weilan remained noncommittal about Xuanshuo’s speech on being slow to warm up.

She gave a slight nod. "Forming a bond is something where both parties’ willingness is very important. You can take your time to consider. However, there is one thing: I really don’t like it when you sell strange things to my Beast Husbands at exorbitant prices.

"Of course, I shouldn’t interfere with your private transactions. I’m not that possessive over other people’s Star Coins. It’s just that, if you want to be my Beast Husband, I don’t want to only see foolishness from you.

"If that’s the case, I’ll start feeling like... one day, I’ll be killed by a Beast Husband’s stupidity. So, when everyone is trading privately, please try to be mindful."

Having said her piece, Gu Weilan collected the small bag of Second Rank Star Cores that Zhan Ci had bought, then looked at Shi Lingfeng. "Let’s go. I’ll continue calming your Spiritual Sea today, and you can teach me how to control my spiritual power."

She was bursting with eagerness to try out the newly awakened Talent Skill of her Wood Beast Rank!

Shi Lingfeng arched an eyebrow slightly. He had originally wanted to refuse today’s calming session.

However, sensing Gu Weilan’s unusually active excitement, he couldn’t help but secretly wonder if the Female Master’s newly awakened Talent Skill was related to the Spiritual Sea.

Did such a Talent Skill even exist?

In Shi Lingfeng’s room, he sat on the sofa. His ears were completely red, and his mature Uncle Qing voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz. "Female Master, would you consider sitting... on my lap?

"I’m worried that if you lose control and faint, you can fall into my arms, and I’ll be able to catch you so you don’t get hurt."

Gu Weilan didn’t think too much of it. Even though straddling Shi Lingfeng’s lap was a posture that... invited people to let their imaginations run wild, her attention right now was entirely focused on her Wood Beast Rank Five Awakening Talent Skill.

She only blushed for a brief moment before sitting on Shi Lingfeng with the mindset of conducting an experiment.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at Shi Lingfeng. With his strikingly handsome features, his narrow, peach-blossom eyes glanced at her before quickly averting their gaze. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his prominent Adam’s apple bobbed as a soft, breathy pant escaped his reddish lips.

Gu Weilan’s neck stiffened for a second before she hurriedly reached out and pressed her finger to the center of Shi Lingfeng’s brow.

Entering Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea once again, she discovered that there were actually shattered golden stones around the edges of the golden mountain that was constantly being battered by black fog and fierce winds.

She instinctively summoned her Wood Talent Skill and was amazed to find that a shattered golden stone actually rolled slightly, returning to a gap in the great golden mountain!

Gu Weilan’s eyes lit up! She continued to use her Talent Skill to move more of the golden stones that had tumbled down back onto the golden mountain!

However, in less than a minute, she began to feel her head throbbing.

This time, she retreated from Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea on her own accord!

But by the time she withdrew, her entire body was drenched in sweat.

She slumped against Shi Lingfeng’s shoulder, her temples pounding.

"I know what my newly awakened Talent Skill is," she said softly, completely drained of energy.

Shi Lingfeng’s eyes widened in shock. Although it had only been forty-nine seconds, it was more than enough time for him to feel exactly what the Female Master’s Talent Skill was!

He hastily suppressed the fluctuating energy in his body and tightly embraced Gu Weilan in his arms.

Gu Weilan frowned slightly. She was just about to say something when she fell into a deep sleep.

Holding the incredibly supple Gu Weilan, Shi Lingfeng realized that she had passed out from exhaustion. He stood up and carried her into the bathroom.

Shi Lingfeng filled the bathtub with warm water, then took out a necktie and blindfolded himself.

He could have actually called a robot butler to help bathe Gu Weilan.

But he didn’t want to.

He reached out and helped undo Gu Weilan’s clothes.

Brushing against her skin inadvertently made his entire body burn hot, as if his mind had been ignited by an invisible roaring fire.

A flush spread from his ears all the way down his arms.

As he gently poured water over Gu Weilan, hearing the SPLASH, his mind involuntarily conjured up images of what a breathtakingly beautiful sight it must be.

Shi Lingfeng couldn’t help but clench his jaw.

He had to form a bond quickly!

That way, he could rightfully leave an Engraving on the Female Master’s body, and also let her mark remain on his own...
