Chapter 53: Chapter 53: 4 Pieces of News Shocked the Sisterhood

As a female, Michelle had currently reached the Fifth Rank. She had awakened her Beast Rank quite early, but by the time she reached the Fifth Rank, she had only awakened a single Talent Skill. Even so, among the Unicorn Clan, her aptitude was considered quite outstanding for a female.

If she could match with a powerful Beast Husband under eighty years old, with a young and handsome appearance... preferably someone like the female Gu Weilan’s partner, who was seven ranks higher than herself...

She couldn’t even begin to imagine what a cheerful and happy little female she would become!

Gu Weilan waved her hand. "I’m not exactly sure, either. My slow progress is because I’m an orphan. With very few resources, I mostly had to rely on myself to form wild parties, fight Star Beasts, and use Star Cores to promote."

Liu Ruoxi and Zhuoma couldn’t help but purse their lips as they looked at Gu Weilan. The two suspected she was just showing off.

However, Michelle nodded and lowered her voice. She originally wanted to mention Jin Taoyao and Laura, but after some thought, she used another beastman as an example instead. "I saw some news on the Star Network. There was a female raised by a top-tier Beast Clan. By dumping all sorts of resources into her, she reached the Sixth Rank at just twenty-four years old. Yet, after she formed a bond with her matched Ninth Rank and Eleventh Rank Beast Husbands, she only promoted to the Seventh Rank."

Liu Ruoxi’s eyes lit up. "You’re talking about the Vermilion Bird... You mean that person, right!"

Seeing Michelle nod secretively, Zhuoma couldn’t help but gasp. "Is she someone we can just casually talk about?"

Michelle hurriedly changed the subject. "What I meant is that a female’s aptitude affects how much energy a Beast Husband can feed back to the Female Master after they form a bond and she leaves her mark."

Michelle looked at Gu Weilan with a hint of pity and apology. "Weilan Female’s aptitude must truly be excellent. Otherwise, females with slightly poorer aptitude really struggle to obtain much energy from their Beast Husbands."

Michelle felt that if Gu Weilan wasn’t an orphan and had a family to provide for her like she did, saving her the time spent worrying about Star Cores, her Beast Rank would definitely be higher than her own.

Gu Weilan shrugged. If the original owner of her current body had received family support, it was indeed impossible for her to only be at the Fourth Rank. However, the moment the Gu family saw her absurdly low Fertility, they abandoned her outright. Refusing to accept her fate, she worked hard and fought tooth and nail, never expecting that her struggles would only lead to a dead end paved by her own family.

At the thought of this, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but look toward the Material Science section. By coincidence, her gaze collided with Gu Yaoqing’s. And sitting next to Gu Yaoqing was none other than Xuanshuo!

Gu Weilan clenched her jaw and immediately told Pomegranate Seed, "Keep an eye on them for me. If Xuanshuo dares to sell out my information, I’ll have to figure out a way to kill him."

Pomegranate Seed replied briskly, "Understood!"

Zhuoma waved her hand. "Females have many opportunities to match. If..."

Just as Zhuoma was speaking, Gu Weilan’s bracelet chimed three times in succession. Michelle, Zhuoma, and Liu Ruoxi looked at Gu Weilan in unison. The other males sitting on the Starship also couldn’t help but cast curious glances her way.

When they boarded the Starship, the accompanying professors had instructed all beastmen to set their Light Brains to consciousness-only alerts, meaning no sound would be audible to the outside world. Liu Ruoxi and Gu Weilan had been standing together at the time and had adjusted their settings together.

In this situation, the only thing that could still produce an audible BEEP alert was a mandatory notification from the interstellar government!

Gu Weilan frowned. Opening it, she saw three notifications for match cancellations!

She was puzzled. "Didn’t they say you have to go on three dates before a match can be canceled?"

Liu Ruoxi, Michelle, and Zhuoma immediately understood that the chimes just now were the sound of match cancellation notifications from the Beast God Matching System.

Liu Ruoxi couldn’t resist sneaking a peek. The names of the three males made her gasp, which instantly triggered a violent fit of coughing.

Michelle and Zhuoma, who were sitting in front, couldn’t help but turn around. While asking after Liu Ruoxi with concern, they cast gossipy, curious glances at Gu Weilan.

Liu Ruoxi choked until her face and neck were beet red, coughing so hard she almost returned to the Beast God’s embrace. With tears brimming in her eyes, she finally looked at Gu Weilan, her trembling finger pointing at the projection screen. "COUGH COUGH COUGH... I’m sorry. When you shared the data with me just now, you made your projection visible to me.

"I accidentally saw the names of the males who canceled their matches with you... I... I was just so shocked! I’m sorry... COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH..."

Gu Weilan waved her hand dismissively, feeling nothing toward the matter.

Seeing Gu Weilan’s perfectly composed demeanor, Liu Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask, "Are you really from the Mole Clan? I suspect you might be from some Royal Family..."

Gu Weilan shifted her eyes to Liu Ruoxi, looking at her without any emotion. "Where would a Royal Family come from in the Interstellar Federation?"

Seeing that Gu Weilan didn’t even know that males could forcibly cancel a match without going on dates, Michelle noticed a problem—the female Gu Weilan seemed to be somewhat lacking in common sense. To get on the female Gu Weilan’s good side, Michelle generously explained in a soft voice, "The Interstellar Federation no longer has a Royal Family, but have you heard of the peak combat powers, the Nine Great Beast Clans?"

Gu Weilan hurriedly nodded, trying to cover up the unreasonableness of her lack of common sense. "I’ve heard of them. The Dragon Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, White Tiger Clan, Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Sky Hunting Lion Clan, Dark Wing Bat Clan, Rock Armored Rhinoceros Clan, Golden Crow Clan, and Black Scaled Viper Clan are collectively known as the top nine Beast Clans of the Interstellar Federation."

Michelle nodded. "In addition to these nine Great Beast Clans, there is also the Rabbit Clan. These ten Beast Clans are jokingly referred to by everyone as the Royal Families."

Gu Weilan scratched her head. Under this motion, her high bun made her look a bit endearingly naive.

Zhuoma had already come up with an excuse for Gu Weilan. "Since Weilan Female doesn’t have the backing of a Beast Clan, she might not be aware of how powerful these families truly are. Their resources and beastman connections are a massive asset."

Michelle and Zhuoma looked at Liu Ruoxi, who had finally stopped coughing. Liu Ruoxi, however, looked at Gu Weilan and tightly grasped her hands. "The ones who canceled the match with you... That... They are too mean!"

Michelle and Zhuoma had said so much precisely because they wanted to know whose names Liu Ruoxi had actually seen! Why had she blurted out that Gu Weilan was from a Royal Family? Could the males that the Beast God Matching System paired Gu Weilan with be some incredible big shots?

Liu Ruoxi frowned. "If a male and female apply to cancel a match after going on three dates, it costs the male five million Star Coins. However, if a male doesn’t even fulfill the three dates and directly applies for a mandatory cancellation, it deducts four-fifths of his total assets!"

Michelle and Zhuoma gasped. Michelle immediately analyzed it calmly. "A male capable of quietly transferring his assets in a completely legal and compliant manner definitely has a massive family behind him."

Zhuoma’s expression also turned ugly. "No matter how powerful the family is, to do such a despicable thing is truly offensive!"

Liu Ruoxi pursed her lips. Mo Jincuan of the Black Panther Clan, a branch of the Leopard Clan, was the successor to the High Priest of the Central Star, and the current Junior Priest. Then there was Bai Yanli of the White Tiger Clan, an absolute standout among the clan’s young male beastmen. Not to mention Rong Hua Jin of the Vermilion Bird Clan—a Fire Element Eleventh Rank powerhouse at only thirty-two years old, who was also a standout among his clan’s young males. With these three leading their respective clans... it was hard to say if their families would ever go downhill. Still, what they did was indeed highly offensive to females!

Liu Ruoxi couldn’t help but wonder: Was the female Gu Weilan, who could match with such males, truly an orphan without any background or identity?
