Chapter 56: Female Master, Which Outfit Do You Want to See Me Wear?

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Female Master, Which Outfit Do You Want to See Me Wear?

Zhan Heng felt Lorenzo Snow’s gaze. He slowly and deliberately turned his head slightly. As his narrow, alluring phoenix eyes met Lorenzo’s odd-colored rabbit eyes, a fleeting flash of sharpness crossed them.

What the hell was this guy, thinking he could compete with him for the position of their Female Master’s primary Beast Husband?

He was the only Twelfth Rank male among all the Beast Husbands in the family!

Oh—this Twelfth Rank... it was only because Gu Weilan had deeply branded his Spiritual Sea with her mark that he had managed to break through in one fell swoop...

At that time, unable to hold back the emotional fluctuations of promoting, he had been insatiable...

At this thought, Zhan Heng brushed his long, well-defined fingers against his lips; the expression on his face was somewhat impossible to hide.

Lorenzo Snow clenched his jaw. He wondered if this guy had just been thinking about something... something he absolutely didn’t want to know.

Gu Weilan’s mind was currently filled with a calm but fully maximized state of alert, along with a faint, uncontainable thrill for bloodshed.

She was used to her tense life in the Apocalypse, where she had to fight zombies, mutated plants, and mutated animals for survival space the moment she opened her eyes. Having been in the interstellar era for over two months and lived a peaceful, happy life for a while, she had improved her strength once again. Surprisingly, she actually missed the days of fighting to the death.

She didn’t know if her subconscious feared forgetting her combat skills, or if, after being comfortable for too long, she just wanted some excitement. In short, she was currently itching to give Kh023 Star a try.

She had awakened so many Talent Skills. Even if she didn’t test every single one, she had to at least try out three or five to see their life-saving effects, right?

Unfortunately, while the four females and over twenty males had collected many different types of plant samples and killed sixteen or seventeen Second and Third Rank Star Beasts, nothing else noteworthy had occurred!

While they rode the Feishuo back to the ship’s base, Zhan Heng noticed that the Female Master seemed somewhat disappointed with this trip.

Just as he was about to speak, Lorenzo leaned in front of Gu Weilan and pulled out a slurpable jelly stick.

"Female Master Lanlan, did you find today’s gathering boring? Do you plan to go to the forest in the southeast tomorrow?"

"I don’t know," Gu Weilan shrugged and spread her hands. "In the two hours this afternoon, we only gathered a small portion of the plants in the southwest jungle. There should be thousands more plant samples in there that we haven’t touched yet.

"However, I do feel it’s gotten a bit dull over there. I’ll discuss it with Liu Ruoxi and the others tonight."

Zhan Heng didn’t care about any of that. He directly scooped Gu Weilan into his arms. "Do you want me to take you for a bath tonight?"

Shen Mianzhou’s face immediately fell, instantly stripping his baby face of its abundant youthful vigor.

"Zhan Heng Beast Husband, the Deserted Star is very dangerous at night. Besides, the ship doesn’t allow any students to board. Where do you plan to take Lanlan for a bath?"

Xuanshuo finally curled his lips into a smile at this moment. With elegant fingers supporting the base of a wine glass, he swirled the nutrient fluid inside, putting on an air of absolute sophistication.

"I have information on several water sources nearby. I have a detailed guide on the surrounding danger levels, the types of Star Beasts that will appear, and their daily routines. If you need it, it’s only 80,000 Star Coins for a data pack. Fair trade, no deception."

After saying that, he gave Gu Weilan what he thought was a handsome wink.

Unfortunately, Gu Weilan looked at him with dark, tranquil eyes that resembled an ancient, unruffled well. Her gaze lingered on him for only two seconds before shifting to Shen Mianzhou. "Zhouzhou, if we go together tonight, would you be willing to come along?"

Gu Weilan had a vague feeling that a romantic encounter with a handsome man awaited her tonight; it made her feel that she absolutely had to go out! She couldn’t clearly explain this mysterious feeling.

"Could there be... some good stuff here that can expand my space?" she asked the system.

Pomegranate Seed was speechless for a moment before replying. "Host, as long as you work hard to make all your Beast Husbands bear cubs, the System Mall has special items specifically for promoting the Space Beast Rank. But there really isn’t anything like that on this Deserted Star. Otherwise, Seeding would have reminded you.

"If you don’t believe Seeding, Seeding can remind you of everything within a two-hundred-meter radius. You previously rejected this service that Seeding offered, saying you wanted to train your alertness and didn’t want to rely on external items. That’s why Seeding didn’t speak up to remind you."

Gu Weilan thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay. I just have this inexplicable urge to go to the river for a bath tonight. When the time comes, the great system Seeding must help me scan the surroundings for any problems!

"Not only do you have to help me keep an eye out for Star Beasts, but don’t let any precious plants, materials, or even ores slip by. My life and fortune are in the hands of our great Lord Pomegranate Seed! Pomegranate Seed, please protect me!" she hurriedly buttered it up, her flattery flowing naturally and without any pretense.

"Leave it—to me! I’ll open my all-seeing eye for you tonight!" the system declared, instantly filled with immense pride.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, the smile in her eyes sparkling brightly.

Looking at Gu Weilan, who was gazing at him like this, Shen Mianzhou originally wanted to persuade her otherwise, but his mouth had a mind of its own. "Okay. Wherever Female Master wants to go, I will swear to the death to protect Female Master’s safety!"

Gu Weilan almost couldn’t hold back a laugh upon hearing this. Her name wasn’t Liu Bo’er... there was really no need to swear to the death to protect her...

She smiled and pinched Shen Mianzhou’s baby face. She really liked these facial features that looked like a baby face but carried a faint sense of ruggedness. (I wanted to describe his face as a mix of an ageless idol and Gu Qianfan, but I don’t want to hinder you darlings from imagining him yourselves. Never mind.)

Shen Mianzhou blushed just from this single action.

He sat directly at Gu Weilan’s feet, his arms resting gently on her knees, and looked up at her. "Female Master, what do you want to eat tonight? Do you want me to go hunt a few High-Rank Star Beasts?"

Gu Weilan shook her head. "No need. We can just make do with barbecuing those low level Star Beasts we hunted this afternoon."

Shen Mianzhou naturally started chatting with Gu Weilan about what to make for dinner and what flavor profiles they should go for.

Watching Shen Mianzhou leaning on Gu Weilan’s knees, Zhan Heng clenched his jaw.

He tapped open his Light Brain and sent a message to Xuanshuo through the local Star Network: [Interrupt the conversation between my Female Master and Shen Mianzhou, and I’ll give you 50,000 Star Coins.]

Xuanshuo tapped open the message, blinked, thought for a moment, and lowered his eyes to reply: [No way! I sell data packs at a low price for small profits and quick returns. The product value and functions are not exclusive. The thing you want me to do is exclusive! Only 50,000 Star Coins? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?]

Zhan Heng narrowed his eyes, leaned in directly, and pressed against Gu Weilan’s back. His lips brushed against the curve of her ear. "Female Master, my Lady Wife, do you want to see me wear that black sheer outfit tonight, or that chest chain?"

Gu Weilan froze. She remembered that Zhan Heng had been looking distressed while picking out things yesterday, and she had casually asked him about it.

Zhan Heng had then shared his Light Brain screen with her, asking which outfit she would like him to wear for her...

Gu Weilan’s ears had turned completely red at the time, but she wasn’t some beast who hadn’t seen the world.

She had immediately said, "Only little cubs make choices. I’m an adult female, so of course I want them all!"

So... Zhan Heng had already bought them so quickly? And... he even brought them along?
