Chapter 40: Nagging System

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Nagging System

Lorenzo narrowed his eyes. He wanted to tell them directly in the group chat that he had encrypted their Light Brains; ordinary hackers would have no chance of viewing their chat history. However, after a moment’s thought, he kept quiet.

If Shi Lingfeng was unwilling to speak over the Light Brain, he definitely had his concerns. Besides, Shi Lingfeng was no weakling. With his Gold Element Tenth Rank power, he was considered outstanding among all the young males in the interstellar! Furthermore, Shi Lingfeng only appeared weaker because he was three years younger than Lorenzo.

Indeed, Gu Weilan hadn’t even noticed that Shi Lingfeng was actually three years younger than the much more boyish-looking Lorenzo! And Shi Lingfeng’s family dealt in military weapons, equipment, and materials! Their family’s overall strength was nothing to scoff at either. As for Zhan Heng, the Qilin Clan behind him might have few Beastmen, but they were certainly not weak!

They were among the highest-ranked of the younger generation, yet their shared Female Master was worried they wouldn’t be able to protect her... Looking at it this way, the secrets their Female Master harbored were quite intriguing.

Lorenzo took a deep breath, leaning back and supporting himself with his hands on the bed. He pondered for a long time but couldn’t make heads or tails of it, so he decided to just focus on the main event!

He elegantly pulled off his hoodie. Just as he was unbuttoning his pants, Gu Weilan opened the bathroom door and walked out. The hot water had left her small face looking flushed and rosy.

Lorenzo turned his dual-colored eyes toward his Female Master, blinking involuntarily.

Clutching her bath towel, Gu Weilan took a deep breath and offered a faint smile. "You can go wash up now."

Was she feeling the romantic tension? Yes, of course. But... it was vastly overshadowed by the excitement of becoming stronger!

Lorenzo was the third strongest Beast Husband she had formed a bond with... Oh, wait, not the third anymore. The other one, an Eleventh Rank Fire Element Beast Husband from the Vermilion Bird Clan named Rong Hua Jin... had bad luck and kicked the bucket. As for Zhan Heng, that Eleventh Rank Dark Element bigshot, he was constantly stuck in a cub’s Beast Form, to the point that Gu Weilan had almost forgotten about him!

Therefore, the only one she could use right now was Lorenzo! At this thought, Gu Weilan grew faintly excited. She wondered if Lorenzo could help her Promote to the Sixth Rank in one fell swoop. Pomegranate Seed had told her that every time she Promoted, she would reap the benefits as well.

Lorenzo’s ears and neck flushed a faint pink. His youthful voice trembled slightly as he uttered a single word, "Okay."

Gu Weilan lay on the large bed, feeling a bit nervous. She was thrilled, her face flushing as her mind wandered firmly into the gutter. However, she figured it wasn’t a big deal. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t had her fair share of intimacy back in the Apocalypse!

Though... she had truly never done it with a man sporting rabbit ears and a tail...

She had read novels before and remembered the authors always writing that a Beastman’s ears were their sensitive spots... She hadn’t even tried touching her own Beast Form ears to see how it felt... mainly because the ears of the Mole Clan were just far too unsightly. So, could she ask Lorenzo to keep his beast ears out while they consummated their bond?

Oh, man... just thinking about it was thrilling!

When Lorenzo stepped out of the bathroom, he wore only a cream-colored bath towel wrapped around his waist. Seeing the stray water droplets falling from Lorenzo’s damp hair, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but swallow hard.

He looked away, reaching up to scratch the back of his head. The raised arm made his biceps and other muscle groups look full and well-developed. And although his broad shoulders weren’t quite as massive as those hyper-muscular men in suggestive online videos, he was still incredibly well-built and undeniably fit. He had sharply defined eight-pack abs, distinct V-lines, and... that towel slung dangerously low beneath his navel...

Gu Weilan couldn’t help but wonder if he had styled himself this way on purpose.

Of course, Lorenzo had done it on purpose! He had brainstormed for ages to come up with a way to show off the aesthetic lines of his muscles to his Female Master. And, he noticed, his Female Master seemed to be totally falling for it!

He walked over and sat down beside Gu Weilan, his ears and cheeks tinged with red.

"Female Master..."

Lorenzo stole a glance at Gu Weilan out of the corner of his eye. The blush rapidly spread down from his ears, painting his neck and collarbones crimson.

Gu Weilan cleared her throat. "You need to work hard to Promote from now on. I will work hard to Promote, too."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the system in her mind couldn’t help but chime in, "Are you okay? Host, are you feeling okay? You... do you need Seeding to check your temperature? What kind of weird sweet nothings are you spouting... Wait, does that even count as sweet nothings, Host?"

Gu Weilan pursed her lips. Yeah! What the hell had she just said? Was she really that nervous?

Lorenzo hurriedly nodded like a good boy, his bright, youthful voice making an earnest and sincere promise. "Mhm! I will definitely work hard!"

Gu Weilan kept her lips pressed together, racking her brain for what to say next.

"Instead of playing Cupid, maybe Seeding should just hand you two a military enlistment oath to recite?" the system couldn’t resist mocking again.

Lorenzo turned sideways, his dual-colored eyes staring intensely at Gu Weilan. The almond shape of his eyes made him look both innocent and cautious. He reached out to caress her cheek. "Female Master, can... can I kiss you?"

"Ooh la la, ’can I kiss you?’ You two are..." The system was utterly speechless, but seemed to have caught a second wind as it continued its relentless roasting.

"You aren’t going to just watch this whole time, are you?" Gu Weilan couldn’t help but complain in her mind.

"Nope. The moment you two lock lips, Seeding will be locked inside a little dark room." It was unclear what the system had to be proud of, but its voice was definitely brimming with pride.

Gu Weilan simply placed her hand over Lorenzo’s and nuzzled her cheek affectionately against his palm. She gently pulled his hand away. Lorenzo’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of dejection flashing in his eyes as he thought she disliked his touch. Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Gu Weilan leaned in and initiated the kiss, pressing her lips against his.

Lorenzo was momentarily stunned. It wasn’t until he felt that Gu Weilan’s kiss was much more than a fleeting peck that he finally closed his eyes. Cradling her face carefully once again, he leaned into a deep, passionate kiss.

Lorenzo’s kiss was like a small animal licking its food, making Gu Weilan feel a bit strange. Left with no other choice, she wrapped her arms around his neck and half-guided him. After a few exchanges, Lorenzo learned the ropes immediately. He was even able to draw inferences from her lead, like an exceptionally gifted student.

Lorenzo’s palm rested gently on the side of Gu Weilan’s waist. Feeling her body grow increasingly soft and yielding, he reluctantly parted from her. His dual-colored eyes stared burningly at Gu Weilan. His brow raised slightly, his voice brimming with youthful awkwardness and caution. "Female Master... can I continue?"

Her cheeks flushed, Gu Weilan simply hooked her arms around Lorenzo’s neck, pulled him down onto the bed, and rolled over to straddle him, looking down at his face.

But... why was it a bit uneven down there...

Lorenzo maintained his expression—brows slightly raised in a pitiful, puppy-dog look, silently begging for his Female Master’s affection. However, his next series of actions completely contradicted the innocent facade he put on.

He took Gu Weilan’s hand and placed it on his chest, letting her fingertips gently trace the contours of his muscles. He even guided her fingers to brush past his firm, pink peaks. Not only was Lorenzo using his "I’m so pure and don’t know anything" act as a seductive hook, but when he guided Gu Weilan’s touch across his body, he would suck in a sharp breath, lacing his very breathing with tantalizing bait.

Gu Weilan’s mouth instantly went dry.

Suddenly, Lorenzo couldn’t suppress the sly lift of his eyebrow. Supporting Gu Weilan with his hands, he flipped them over, effortlessly swapping their positions.

Gu Weilan’s eyes widened slightly. Lorenzo curled up one corner of his lips into a smirk. As his gaze darkened and lowered, he looked like a completely different beast compared to the little puppy from just moments ago!
