Chapter 63: Lanlan, Who Are You Thinking About?

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Lanlan, Who Are You Thinking About?

Zhan Heng’s emotions surged; he hadn’t given a single thought to his unfortunate younger brother far away on the Central Star.

Xie Jing knew something was wrong the moment his head began to split with pain. However, he didn’t dare disconnect the energy to the Incubation Pod. Enduring the agony, he continued to steadily transmit energy to the cubs.

Holding onto the conviction that the cubs must grow up healthy, Xie Jing gritted his teeth through the headache and continuously supplied them with Beast Rank Energy for over half an hour.

Looking as though he had just been fished out of the water, his brain aching as if he were dying, he held onto his last breath and walked to Shi Lingfeng’s door. He knocked lightly. "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK..."

Shi Lingfeng opened the door with a calm expression, only to jump in fright when he saw Xie Jing’s pale, ghost-like appearance. Left with no other choice, Xie Jing explained the Telepathy between him and his brother.

Shi Lingfeng guessed the rest before Xie Jing could force out more words through the excruciating pain. "You mean... because you and your brother share Telepathy, you think something has happened to the Female Master and the others?"

Xie Jing pounded his head with his fist, trying to alleviate the pain, and nodded with difficulty. "Yes."

Shi Lingfeng pursed his lips and suddenly stood up from the sofa. He turned on his Light Brain, thought for a moment, and sent a message to his subordinate: "Help me look into what happened on the Kh023 Star."

His subordinate replied immediately, "Do you want a detailed investigation...?"

Shi Lingfeng fell silent for a moment before replying, "If necessary, use my aunt’s name first."

His subordinate responded, "But if we do that, suspicion will easily fall on you, Boss!"

Taking a deep breath, Shi Lingfeng sent another series of messages.

"Tell my aunt that I went to Bai Yanli to seek asylum.

"They want to get low prices from our Military Materials Group, and I’m being hunted by my relatives. As long as the old lady hasn’t made a will, I won’t get the inheritance rights. I have no choice but to seek their protection.

"However, they required me to go to the Kh023 Star to find some things. Therefore, I need my aunt to help me find out exactly what has happened on the Kh023 Star recently.

"In short, no one can know that I have news of the Female Master. And no one can be allowed to suspect the Central Beastman Academy."

His subordinate stayed silent for a while before replying, "Understood. I will do my utmost to resolve your worries, Boss."

Just as Shi Lingfeng turned off his Light Brain, he heard Xie Jing let out a muffled groan.

Immediately after, his face flushed red. His long, narrow phoenix eyes rippled with a watery gaze, and the upturned corners of his eyes were tinted with a flush, looking like peach blossoms slowly blooming in the spring.

The usually calm and reserved Shi Lingfeng instantly felt his scalp tingle. He couldn’t help but take a step back, looking at Xie Jing warily. "What the hell are you doing?"

Xie Jing chuckled. "No, it’s not... what I’m doing... it’s my dear older brother... He’s heavily injured, yet... Ugh..."

"Get out!" Shi Lingfeng immediately pointed at the door, reprimanding him in a low voice.

Clearly, Zhan Heng was out of danger, and he actually had the mood to go into heat with the Female Master! This proved the situation wasn’t that urgent anymore.

Watching Xie Jing struggle to his feet and stumble out of the room, Shi Lingfeng finally opened his Light Brain again. With a bitter twist to the corners of his mouth, he sent another message to his subordinate: "Call off the investigation."

He had been willing to risk exposure during a crisis, exploring every possible method to find out the Female Master’s condition. Now that she was out of danger, he didn’t need to risk exposing himself for a futile effort. Because of this, Shi Lingfeng missed the opportunity to learn the true situation of Bai Yanli and Rong Hua Jin.

Meanwhile, Xie Jing was about to go crazy. In his own room, through the Telepathy shared with Zhan Heng, he fantasized about all the wondrous things happening. Inch by inch, he gripped the silk bedsheets tightly. His silvery-white pupils focused slightly as a sickly smile crept up the corners of his lips.

"This is truly... killing me..."

Zhan Heng suppressed his jealousy and the churning unwillingness in his chest. He looked down at Gu Weilan. "Lanlan, who... are you thinking about?"

Gu Weilan tilted her small face up in slight astonishment. Tears still hung on her face, and her nose was red. The confusion in her eyes didn’t seem faked. Her small mouth was slightly parted, making Zhan Heng almost forget to care about who the most important male in her heart actually was.

Gu Weilan remained silent for a long time. She couldn’t exactly tell Zhan Heng that she was missing her system, Pomegranate Seed, could she?

Zhan Heng’s eyes darkened. He kissed Gu Weilan’s fingertips and coaxed her softly, "It’s okay, I don’t mind. If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to."

Zhan Heng knew that his ability to forcibly control the Rank Fourteen Star Beast must have been the work of some Beastman, or rather... it was the life-saving measure left to her by the very male Gu Weilan was thinking about.

He could only comfort himself in his mind: the Female Master cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left such a good thing for him. If Gu Weilan hadn’t left such an item for him, he and Shen Mianzhou wouldn’t have survived at all. Zhan Heng constantly reminded himself of this so he would feel a bit better.

He buried his head, wanting nothing more than for Gu Weilan’s heart and eyes to be filled only with him at this moment. When he raised his head again, the tip of his nose was glistening. Looking at Gu Weilan, who couldn’t help but tug at his arm, his naturally smiling lips curled into a grin.

In the outer room, Shen Mianzhou frowned slightly. He checked the time on his Light Brain and turned his head to look at Lorenzo. "Did the Female Master pass out again after soothing Zhan Heng Beast Husband’s Spiritual Sea?"

Lorenzo pursed his lips, his expression looking rather grim. His Beast Rank was a Third Rank higher than Shen Mianzhou’s, making his hearing much more acute.

Even though the adjoining bedroom had a soundproofing function activated, he could still faintly hear Zhan Heng’s coaxing voice and Gu Weilan’s whimpering sobs. After all, he was Gu Weilan’s first Beast Husband; of course, he knew exactly what that meant!

Lorenzo watched Shen Mianzhou stand up and pace around the room restlessly. "You don’t need to keep pacing back and forth. They are... fine for now."

Shen Mianzhou frowned slightly, not quite understanding what "fine for now" meant. He once again blamed himself out of a deep sense of inferiority. He was just too weak. If he were stronger, he would be able to hear the breathing next door and wouldn’t have to rely on Lorenzo’s words to judge whether the Female Master was safe.

Xuanshuo, however, let out a scoff. "Tsk—Beast Husband Lorenzo means that they’ve turned on the room’s soundproofing and are doing the most intimate thing between a male and a female. Therefore, everything is fine!"

Shen Mianzhou’s doe-like eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment before his ears turned bright red, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. "He... the Female Master, she... Zhan Heng Beast Husband is also..."

Xuanshuo chuckled lightly, his tone full of provocation. "Why don’t you knock on the door and see?"

Lorenzo frowned. Although he was very annoyed by Zhan Heng’s behavior of dragging the Female Master into such reckless acts regardless of the setting, he despised Xuanshuo even more. Nevertheless, he still spoke up to stop Shen Mianzhou from approaching the door of the secondary bedroom. "The Female Master wouldn’t do anything without knowing what she’s doing.

"It seems that a major problem has occurred in Zhan Heng’s Spiritual Sea. Perhaps... he needs a more in-depth exchange of soothing to suppress the issues in his Spiritual Sea."

Xuanshuo looked at Lorenzo, vainly attempting to read some sarcastic emotion in his heterochromatic red and blue eyes. In the end, Xuanshuo understood what he saw and sneered. "You aren’t trying to present yourself as the primary Beast Husband, are you? You are merely her first Beast Husband."

Lorenzo glanced at Xuanshuo and ignored him.

Shen Mianzhou sat on the sofa near the secondary bedroom door, trying to hear some kind of movement. He didn’t quite believe what Lorenzo had said; he only wanted to believe it if he heard it with his own ears.

At this moment, however, Gu Weilan was angrily taking a bite out of Zhan Heng’s shoulder. Like a little beast that had cried too hard, she scolded him with slurred speech, "You... bastard!"
