Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Keep Your Voice Down, Is This Something to Be Proud Of?

The academy’s inquiry was actually just a routine procedure, as they had complete video recordings of the examinees. The only suspicious point was Gu Weilan’s sudden realization of danger.

However, no one could explain this kind of sixth sense—this sudden feeling of crisis.

Instead, Gu Weilan’s firm belief that a High-level Star Beast was chasing them left the school officials deeply puzzled.

After all, Zhan Heng and Lorenzo were the ones with the highest Beast Ranks among them. With both of them present, how could they have felt absolutely nothing?

Gu Weilan looked at Zhan Heng and Lorenzo Snow.

Lorenzo rubbed the tip of his nose and spoke with shy embarrassment. "At the time... my head was completely full of... the Female Master who had just finished bathing... and was currently bathing. I... I was also wondering if we could... be together... tonight..."

The academy patrol captain asking the questions and the relevant legion personnel assisting the investigation all wore deadpan expressions. They screamed internally, "You two are very much in love! We get it! So much in love! How annoying!"

Zhan Heng furrowed his brows slightly, reminding Lorenzo in a deep voice, "Keep your voice down. Do you think this is something to be proud of?"

He then looked at the recorder. "I was different. Even though my back was turned to the Female Master, I could clearly hear the water droplets trailing across her skin... Mmph, mmph, mmph..."

Gu Weilan had already pounced over and clamped her hand over Zhan Heng’s mouth.

She gave the recorder an awkward but polite smile. "My Beast Husband was lucky to subdue the Rank Fourteen Star Beast, and his... his brain is a little messed up right now."

The recorder frowned, looking at Zhan Heng and then at Gu Weilan. "Respected female Gu Weilan, there are no insect eggs on Zhan Heng Beast Husband, right?"

Gu Weilan shook her head. "No, there aren’t. I already checked."

The recorder’s expression remained calm; it was impossible to tell whether they believed her or not.

Nevertheless, they arranged for the school doctors and a top-tier medical team to visit and assist with examinations. They checked every Beastman in Gu Weilan’s home, including the Silver-spotted Cat that was happily shaking its head with a smelly shoe in its mouth, and the Bald Chicken that was pooping wherever it pleased.

"After the examination, both you and your family are completely fine," the recorder said. "However, I still have one question. Why did you initially think of looking for bugs on this cat cub and this... chicken?"

Gu Weilan suddenly shivered, unable to stop herself from scratching her arm.

"When I picked up that silly cat and that stupid bird, there was a little bug on the Bald Chicken’s eye! Seeing him half-dead, I used my Talent Skill to test it out. Who knew there really were bugs inside his body!"

Gu Weilan’s face scrunched up in disgust and revulsion. "Then we kept running, but for some reason, I had a very strong premonition. That Fourteenth Rank thing was chasing us. But why could it follow us directly without even going to the lake to sniff around or check the area?

"Then it occurred to me that maybe the two little guys we picked up were the problem. I found even more bugs on the kitty, and when I checked the Bald Chicken’s brain, there were bugs in his brain too...

"God, you have no idea how terrifying it was!"

The recorder documented everything in its entirety.

Although there were still a few doubtful points, every outstanding Beastman possessed their own secret, undisclosed methods of preserving their lives. Some things just couldn’t be probed too deeply.

They bowed deeply to Gu Weilan, placing their right hands over their chests to express their highest respect.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Gu Weilan and her Beast Husband, the students and professors present that day would likely have died there.

Even though some of the professors possessed a Twelfth Rank Beast Rank, they had to protect the students. If they were caught completely off guard, it was genuinely hard to say whether they wouldn’t all be completely wiped out!

Gu Weilan waved her hand, politely seeing the Beastmen out.

Turning to Zhan Heng, Gu Weilan looked at him with bright eyes. "Have all the seedlings in the greenhouse had their vitality activated?"

Zhan Heng pursed his lips. He knew it! His days ahead would consist of nothing but endless exploitation!

Feeling helpless, he pulled Gu Weilan into a hug, hunching his back to nuzzle his head into the crook of her neck. "I’m trying very hard. There’s only half a field left to do."

"Can I absorb some Star Cores every day to raise my Beast Rank as quickly as possible? I won’t put caring for the plants aside, though. I’ll still finish my tasks every day. Is that okay?"

Gu Weilan kissed Zhan Heng. "Okay, okay. Arrange your time however you like. I’m not some Zhou Bapi slave driver. Absorb the Star Cores when you need to, as long as you don’t forget to help me plant the fields properly."

Sitting on the sofa nearby, Xie Jing couldn’t help but speak up. "You’re not going to leave the cub entirely in my care, are you? I really can’t do it! Your cub’s talent is genuinely too good, and he absorbs way too much energy! I can’t handle it! Six hours a day is already my absolute limit!"

Zhan Heng sighed. He kissed Gu Weilan’s cheek, then stood up and looked at Xie Jing. "Thanks for your hard work, little brother. I’ll go finish the fields right now and take over your shift as soon as possible."

Xie Jing gave a slight nod. The look in his eyes as he gazed at Gu Weilan was full of things he wanted to say but held back. However, with the dark circles currently under his eyes, he just tilted his head up and rested the back of his head against the sofa.

His current condition really wasn’t great. He decided it would be better to act clingy in front of the Female Master on another day. Being in this state wouldn’t earn him any bonus points, and it might even scare her away.

Shi Lingfeng narrowed his eyes. He had originally thought that the Female Master had simply been bewitched by Zhan Heng Beast Husband.

But now... it seemed the Female Master... Could she actually have a way to make a Beast Husband with a Wood Beast Rank awaken the same Talent Skill she possessed?

Shi Lingfeng’s pupils contracted. Just what kind of heaven-chosen, destined female was his Female Master?!

Could she be... a Holy Female?

No, no, no, how could that be? It was impossible.

But deep down, he harbored a secret yearning. What if she was?

Still, he couldn’t be greedy. He absolutely couldn’t.

He warned himself once more: the Female Master was already wonderful enough. She hadn’t schemed for her Beast Husbands’ properties, nor had she shown favoritism toward one by using the Star Coins and resources of the others to exclusively supply her favorite.

He had already gained an excellent Female Master. How could a male be so greedy?

Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou seemed to have noticed it too. It appeared the Female Master had a way to grant Zhan Heng the same Wood Beast Talent Skill as hers.

Every single one of them despised the fact that their Hidden Beast Ranks were not of the Wood Element!

Gu Weilan couldn’t resist sending Lu Xuyin a message: "When are you coming over?"

Lu Xuyin didn’t reply to her message. His previous text was from last night: "Female Master, please don’t abandon me. I’m on a mission. I’ll go back as soon as I finish the mission."

Gu Weilan looked at the Wood Nine Rank listed on Lu Xuyin’s information card.

Ninth Rank!

If he were by her side, he could definitely serve as a top-tier workhorse, right?

Over the next few days, Gu Weilan would finish tending to the plants in her spatial dimension, purify and soothe Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea, and then fall into a deep sleep.

As a result, among the four Beast Husbands she had already formed a bond with at home, Shi Lingfeng was the only one who remained a virgin.

The remaining two, Xie Jing and Xuanshuo, were still stuck in the matched Beast Husband seats, unable to budge an inch.

Everyone silently assumed that the hierarchy of Beast Husbands in the Female Master’s heart was probably: Zhan Heng Beast Husband, Lorenzo Beast Husband, Shen Mianzhou Beast Husband, Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband, followed by Xie Jing and Xuanshuo.

That was until right before Shen Mianzhou planned to return to the Hunting Team, when Gu Weilan took out a Bloodline Purification Potion and had him drink it...
