Chapter 70: Why Is It So Hard to See You Show Emotion?

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Why Is It So Hard to See You Show Emotion?

She seemed to have heard a similar question before.

She wondered who loved asking questions like this the most. Then, she remembered! It was Zhan Heng...

He had spent the entire day asking this very question!

Shen Mianzhou seemed to notice.

Gu Weilan really seemed to be thinking about another beastman!

Little Mianzhou, who was already quite resolute, hardened his heart even further like iron.

"Female Master Lanlan, please stop thinking about other beastmen... okay?"

Shen Mianzhou first coaxed her softly, like a spoiled child. Then, relentlessly and tirelessly, he used his prowess to ensure she could only look at him and think of him in that moment.

Before Gu Weilan passed out, she tried hard to think...

No, her mind was actually completely blank.

She couldn’t think of anything anymore; she simply didn’t have the energy for it.

By the time Gu Weilan woke up, it was already noon the next day. As she groggily opened her eyes, she immediately felt Shen Mianzhou’s vigorous energy.

With her back to him, she slowly opened her eyes. Gu Weilan felt a slight tickle in her throat from being so hoarse.

She wanted to get out of bed, but a kiss from Shen Mianzhou on the back of her shoulder made her involuntarily flinch. Shen Mianzhou’s muffled groan sounded right next to her ear. In an instant, she knew she was doomed.

Where she couldn’t see, Shen Mianzhou sent a message to their small group chat of beast husbands: "I’ll bring the Female Master down for food later. Lanlan didn’t break through her Beast Rank to the Eighth Rank.

"Zhan Heng Beast Husband mentioned yesterday that there seemed to be a problem with Lanlan’s Beast Rank, so I asked her about it.

"The Female Master said... she feels like she can’t absorb energy as smoothly as before.

"Something might have gone wrong."

"? Heh—I was just a little indulgent. What did you all say about me yesterday?"

One didn’t even need to look to know this was sent by Zhan Heng.

Lorenzo Snow typed something and deleted it, ultimately sending, "Please prioritize the Female Master’s health, all you beast husbands. Don’t hurt Lanlan."

Shi Lingfeng quickly promised, "I will definitely exercise restraint. As soon as I collect the eggs from Lanlan’s womb, I’ll withdraw from the competition for her favor.

"So, you don’t need to worry."

Zhan Heng sneered. "Tsk, tsk... targeting me, are you? How interesting. I’ll tell you straight: one beastman per day, and I won’t accept a single day less!"

Lorenzo Snow chuckled lightly. "Hehe, I hope everyone can stick to the rules a bit. Since we agreed to give Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband some time, let’s give him a few extra days.

"Let’s not disregard the feelings of other beastmen just because a certain beastman already has a cub."

Shi Lingfeng hurriedly voiced his support. "Thanks for understanding."

Zhan Heng was furious. Lorenzo was only targeting him because Zhan Heng already had a cub. After all, not every extraction guaranteed successful collection of a female’s eggs. Zhan Heng felt extremely annoyed. Lorenzo and Shi Lingfeng both knew they might not be as lucky as him to succeed on the first try, which was why they were deliberately saying these things!

Furthermore, he knew that if they managed to coax Female Master Lanlan into delaying the extraction and monopolized her for a few days, he would be at a huge disadvantage.

Zhan Heng glared coldly at the beast husband group chat and didn’t send any more messages. Since they weren’t planning to be reasonable, why should he be bound by their rules? Let each rely on his own skills!

Zhan Heng put down his Light Brain and walked straight to his younger brother’s room. Through Telepathy, he had actually sensed that his brother was on the verge of collapsing. He wondered what on earth he was doing!

When Zhan Heng opened the door to Xie Jing’s room, Xie Jing looked at him, his face looking as drained as if a ghost had sucked the life out of him.

Xie Jing pointed to the other end of the Incubation Pod. "It’s your own child. Now that you’ve recovered, can you input energy into it yourself?"

Zhan Heng frowned slightly. He quickly sat on the other end of the sofa, placed his hand over the claw mark on the opposite side of the Incubation Pod, and began inputting his Beast Rank Energy.

The moment Zhan Heng released his Beast Rank Energy, Xie Jing immediately let go. He shook his hand and looked at Zhan Heng, his face lighting up with excitement. "How is it? Can you feel how powerful your cub is?"

Zhan Heng slowly turned his head to look at the thrilled Xie Jing, revealing a rare look of bewilderment. "I don’t feel it."

Xie Jing was speechless for a moment. "With your Twelfth Rank Beast Rank Energy, you can keep up this continuous input for six hours, right?"

As Zhan Heng continued to input energy, he pulled the Incubation Pod into his arms. "Yes."

Seeing Zhan Heng’s actions, Xie Jing was even more terrified than Zhan Heng, the actual biological father! He was terrified that Zhan Heng might lose his grip and let the Incubation Pod bump or crash into something!

Xie Jing couldn’t stand the fact that his older brother wasn’t as excited as he was. He spoke hurriedly and somewhat incoherently, but he still managed to make his main point perfectly clear!

"You can sustain a continuous input of Beast Rank Energy for six hours—what does that mean?

"Brother, you are at the Twelfth Rank! You need to realize that your current Beast Rank is the Twelfth Rank!

"What if your Beast Rank was at the Fourth or Fifth Rank, like average males?

"If you were only at the Fourth or Fifth Rank, wouldn’t the cub be completely unable to grow slowly under sustained energy?"

Seeing that Zhan Heng remained calm—and not just a facade of calmness, but genuinely unbothered—Xie Jing started to get anxious!

"Do you know I searched the Star Network?"

Zhan Heng shook his head. "I don’t."

Xie Jing let out an exasperated laugh. He ran a hand through his fiery red hair and began pacing back and forth in front of Zhan Heng. After walking back and forth a dozen times, he finally spoke again. "Our cub is going to be incredibly powerful! The aptitude of this cub won’t be bad at all!"

Zhan Heng gave a slight nod. "I know."

Xie Jing’s eyes went wide. "Why aren’t you excited? You don’t think all beastmen’s cubs nurtured in an Incubation Pod are like this, do you?"

Zhan Heng shook his head, remaining emotionally stable. "I know other cubs aren’t like this."

Xie Jing’s eyes widened even further, his nostrils flaring for a moment. He gave a thumbs-up. "You’re amazing! You’re incredible! You’re the calmest person ever!"

But Xie Jing absolutely refused to give up. "Are you really not excited at all? No, wait... the Female Master’s Fertility is only zero point something! It’s practically zero!

"Yet the Female Master and your cub have such immense potential, and you’re not surprised at all? Do you not know that the more powerful a cub is, the more energy it requires while in the Incubation Pod?"

Zhan Heng calmly looked up at Xie Jing. "I know that too."

Xie Jing stared at Zhan Heng. Seeing him still completely unruffled, Xie Jing relentlessly tried to provoke a reaction out of him. "Heh—you don’t think the cub is powerful just because you provided strong genes, do you?

"You don’t think that just because your Beast Rank is high, your aptitude is guaranteed to be good, so you’re not surprised, right?

"The Female Master’s genes are the most crucial part! Although the quality of the male’s genes is also important, at the core of it all, it’s the Female Master’s genes that matter the most! It’s because her genetic quality is excellent and perfectly matches yours that she could conceive such a powerful cub!"

Only then did Zhan Heng’s expression change. He tilted his chin up slightly, looking incredibly proud. "Of course I know. The Female Master I chose is the absolute best!"

Xie Jing’s phoenix eyes went dull, staring dead-eyed like a fish. He stood there, hands on his hips, looking at Zhan Heng. He was speechless... He truly felt he had never been so speechless in his life!

Xie Jing wondered if the reason his brother showed absolutely zero other emotions was that he was too dense in this regard, with nothing but lovesickness in his head.

He laughed in exasperation. Just as he turned to walk out of the room, he heard Zhan Heng say, "From now on, I won’t help you anymore."
