Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Her Aptitude Hindered Her from Eating Meat

Heavenly Milk! Beast God above!

How incredibly precious female cubs were!

It was precisely because the Qilin Clan had no females left that his older brother was able to rely on his outstanding aptitude to become the Young Clan Leader of the Qilin Clan! If his older brother could use the Incubation Pod to cultivate a female cub... then she would certainly inherit his older brother’s aptitude and become an outstanding Qilin Clan female! Then she would definitely become the future clan leader of the Qilin Clan!

Then there would be hope for their Qilin Clan to grow strong once more!

He wouldn’t sleep until the moon did! He made up his mind—he had to steadily input his Beast Rank Energy to his future little niece!

On the day it was Shi Lingfeng’s turn to attend to her in bed, he merely held Gu Weilan quietly, with no intention of touching her.

Gu Weilan looked at Shi Lingfeng in confusion. "Do you not want me to brand my mark in your Spiritual Sea?"

This kind of mark was a type of shackle for a Beast Husband. If a Female Master were to divorce her Beast Husband, when she slashed her engraving, the mark in the Beast Husband’s Spiritual Sea would also be destroyed along with it. If that happened, the Beast Husband wouldn’t be able to think about certain intimate matters regarding the Female Master. The moment he tried, he would suffer a splitting headache.

But Shi Lingfeng shook his head. His mature Uncle Qing voice carried a hint of seriousness. "Xiao Lan, you are promoting a bit too fast right now. It’s easy to attract the attention of other beasts. I discussed this with Beast Husband Shen Mianzhou; we won’t have any substantial physical relations with you recently. We have to wait a while."

Gu Weilan was slightly confused and hurriedly asked the system in her mind:

"Am I not promoting quickly because you used tricks to cheat the Beast God Matching System and matched me with High-level Beastmen, which led me to leave marks in their Spiritual Seas and use the energy they fed back to me to promote quickly?

"After all, other females don’t have cheating methods; they are matched with Beast Husbands whose Beast Ranks are similar to theirs, or only three or four ranks higher. Naturally, they don’t promote as fast as I do.

"Is what I found out and understood wrong?"

Pomegranate Seed hurriedly came online. "Emmm, when Seed stuffed Host into Gu Weiran’s body, I used a top-tier blood tonic to nourish the body, and even used the system’s energy to alter Host’s gene chain!

"That means Host’s aptitude is now twice as outstanding as that of a Beastman with exceptional aptitude.

"A more intuitive explanation is that a Beastman with top-tier aptitude needs 30 points of energy to promote from the First Rank to the Second Rank. To promote to the Third Rank, they need 300 points of energy. But you, Host, only need a third of what others have to pay to promote."

Gu Weilan was shocked.

"Then why didn’t you tell me, Seed? Do you just like doing good deeds without leaving your name?"

"I did tell Host!" Pomegranate Seed replied. "I was just telling Host, but Host told me to shut up! At that time, you were lying on a park bench, and you said I was disturbing you from playing dead!"

Gu Weilan was rendered speechless.

"Ah... well... for something this important, you should have told me again when I was free!"

"All right," Pomegranate Seed conceded. "I’ll remember that for next time."

"Female Master?

"Xiao Lan?"

Seeing that Gu Weilan had spaced out, Shi Lingfeng couldn’t help but call her softly twice.

Gu Weilan burrowed deeper into Shi Lingfeng’s embrace and hurriedly feigned pity. "Sigh... I didn’t pay attention to these things before... mostly because... I’m an orphan... and my living conditions were very poor."

Shi Lingfeng pursed his lips. It wasn’t that orphanages didn’t exist, but little females in orphanages were generally adopted. He didn’t know why his Female Master hadn’t been adopted. Moreover, the conditions in the orphanages... shouldn’t have been as poor as Gu Weilan claimed. However, since the Female Master didn’t want to explain, Shi Lingfeng wouldn’t press the matter.

Gu Weilan looked at Shi Lingfeng with burning eyes. "Since we aren’t doing anything else, why don’t you let me soothe your Spiritual Sea once more?"

Gu Weilan intended to test how long she could soothe Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea in one go now that her Beast Rank had been promoted. Furthermore, if she continued to use her Wood Talent Skill to Repair Spiritual Sea, how long could she persist at most, and what would Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea become like?

Shi Lingfeng pursed his lips. Gu Weilan had already provided him with a soothing session after dinner. He didn’t want Gu Weilan to get too tired, but seeing the eager expression in her burning eyes, he knew she really wanted to try again. He had no choice but to nod.

Seeing the giant mountain of gold in Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea once more, Gu Weilan still felt a surge of joy. Her love for gold and shiny things seemed to be etched into her very bones and blood, though she didn’t know why.

Gu Weilan released her spiritual power and mobilized her Talent Skill. One minute passed, then two minutes passed...

Just five seconds shy of holding on for a full three minutes, she felt a piercing ache throbbing in her head. It seemed that the capability of a Rank Seventh Beast Level had quite a significant impact on her spiritual power, though perhaps not quite as massive as she had imagined.

Gu Weilan voluntarily withdrew from Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea and nodded slightly. "My control over my spiritual power is pretty good now. Tomorrow, I’ll soothe Xie Jing’s Spiritual Sea and finish up his remaining sessions as quickly as possible. Then, I can have him click confirm to terminate the match and leave my villa!"

Shi Lingfeng widened his eyes slightly. He felt that his Spiritual Sea was extremely comfortable; he even had the faint illusion that he was on the verge of breaking through his Beast Rank.

Gu Weilan lay in Shi Lingfeng’s embrace, burrowed into his chest to find a comfortable posture, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shi Lingfeng looked down at Gu Weilan. One of her hands rested over his heart, her cheek was pressed against his body, and she had even draped one of her legs over his.

He couldn’t help but close his eyes... He wasn’t a Holy Beast... With her like this, he truly wouldn’t be able to hold himself back! But what could he do? The Female Master liked it, so he could only endure.

He looked up at the ceiling, raised his free hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Mmm—" Gu Weilan smacked her lips, her entire body pressing against him like a little furnace.

Shi Lingfeng’s toes couldn’t help but curl. He allowed Gu Weilan to unconsciously squeeze his pectoral muscles in her sleep.

And just like that, Shi Lingfeng suffered through another night alone with Gu Weilan.

On the day of the joint examination for the Pharmacy and Material Science students, Shen Mianzhou woke Gu Weilan up bright and early.

She wore the standard uniform issued by the school. Indeed, universities in the interstellar beast world also had standardized uniforms. However, the Central Beastman Academy uniform was primarily black, white, and gray. The material was Star Beast Leather, which was highly form-fitting and possessed exceptional protective qualities. Yet, the texture of this uniform didn’t feel like cowhide or sheepskin at all; instead, it felt like a very smooth, sturdy fabric.

If an ordinary Fourth Rank Star Beast took a swipe at it, the most it would do is tear the fabric. If a Fourth Rank Star Beast actually managed to shred the uniform, the internal injuries sustained would be far worse than the external ones...

Gu Weilan headed out with Zhan Heng, Lorenzo Snow, Shen Mianzhou, and Xuanshuo. Shi Lingfeng could not appear in public spaces due to personal reasons, while Xie Jing had to stay home to use the Incubation Pod to cultivate a cub.

Gu Weilan arrived at the academy’s assembly point with her four Beast Husbands in tow.

A female named Liu Ruoxi couldn’t help but marvel, "Weilan Female, your Beast Husbands must all have very high Beast Ranks, right? They look so dangerously hot—don’t they just drain all your stamina?"

Gu Weilan’s almond eyes widened slightly. Was that something one could just say out loud? She couldn’t help but turn her head to check the expressions on Zhan Heng, Lorenzo, Shen Mianzhou, and Xuanshuo’s faces.

The moment Zhan Heng stepped out the door, he wore a cold face, looking as though the whole world owed him a billion credits.

Lorenzo, on the other hand, wore an expression of total indifference to the world, his head tilted slightly upward as he looked at the content projected from his Light Brain.

Shen Mianzhou was inspecting his weapons, which included a dagger for close combat and laser guns for long-range engagements.

Only Xuanshuo smiled cheerfully, offering Liu Ruoxi an amiable grin.
