Chapter 84: Zhan Heng: You Can Leave the Bed-Serving Ranks

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Zhan Heng: You Can Leave the Bed-Serving Ranks

Shi Lingfeng spent two or three hours browsing the Star Network. Finally, he found the most popular post across the entire network detailing the best talent data for cubs nurtured using an Incubation Pod:

Nutrition rating: excellent level.

Fertilized egg quality: excellent level.

Predicted cub talent: High level Talent.

Predicted cub survival rate: 69%.

Out of two cubs, the estimated probability of one being female was 21%.

Of course, Shi Lingfeng knew that some top-tier Beast Clans with excellent resources would never casually show off their own Incubation Pod data. As far as he knew, selected level Cultivation Liquid did exist.

He remembered seeing it when he was young.

However, even after using that selected level Cultivation Liquid, his family still failed to produce an excellent female...

The memories calmed Shi Lingfeng down. His initial, eager impulse to contact his family and immediately share his joy faded.

If the final outcome turned out to be less than ideal, his cousins would probably mock him. Mocking him was one thing, but he feared they would dare to mock his cubs. At this thought, the joyful tenderness vanished from his long, peach-blossom eyes, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness.

No one could hurt his cubs!

So, was this what it felt like to have his own cubs?

Shi Lingfeng looked down at the soundly sleeping Gu Weilan. Once again, he felt incredibly grateful that he had been trapped and pushed into a corner by his family back then.

If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have needed to evade the assassinations orchestrated by his power-hungry relatives. If he hadn’t needed to avoid their petty schemes, he wouldn’t have chosen to form a bond with his Female Master. As for those who had canceled their matches with her... Ha! What a bunch of fools!

At this thought, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up secretly. As the faint light of dawn broke, Shi Lingfeng forced himself to go to sleep immediately. Otherwise, what would he do if he didn’t have the energy to supply the Incubation Pod?

When Gu Weilan woke up, Shi Lingfeng immediately opened his eyes. The moment she sat up, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. His hoarse voice carried a slight tremble. "Female Master... you didn’t feed me enough."

Gu Weilan’s cheeks flushed bright red. Shi Lingfeng pressed his face against her back and murmured softly, "Thank you, Female Master. I will spend my entire life repaying you."

She raised an eyebrow inwardly, though her face remained heavily flushed. Shi Lingfeng clung to her back like a large dog that couldn’t bear to leave its owner. "Female Master, I don’t want to get out of bed at all, and I don’t want to let you get up either. What should we do?"

It was Gu Weilan’s first time seeing this side of him. However, this actually matched her impression of wolfdogs perfectly.

Thinking about wolfdogs... although Shi Lingfeng’s Beast Clan was the Gray Wolf, they were all canines, right?

Upon first meeting canines, they usually left an impression of being either fierce or adorable. But after getting to know them, one would realize that huskies, despite their majestic and domineering looks, were absolute clowns, while cute little chihuahuas were little terrors that constantly provoked bigger dogs.

So, underneath his refined and scholarly exterior, Shi Lingfeng was actually a clingy little tease?

Indeed, Gu Weilan didn’t think Lorenzo, with his heterochromatic eyes and alluring gaze, was a tease, nor did she think Shen Mianzhou, who looked like a baby-faced boy next door, was one. Through last night’s... practical experience, she realized that the outwardly calm and capable Shi Lingfeng was, in private, a little tease who would bite his lip and beg her in a hoarse voice!

Ah, not just a little tease—he was an absolute seducer.

Keeping his arms around her waist, Shi Lingfeng felt a hint of disappointment in his heart. He rested his head against the back of her neck and asked softly, "Lanlan, Female Master... don’t you want to see our cubs?"

Gu Weilan’s eyes instantly lit up. She currently owed the System Pomegranate Seed a lot of points! Of course she wanted to see them!

Gu Weilan hurriedly put on her underwear, slipped into a tight tank top and a pair of gray athletic shorts, and went over to the nightstand. She looked at the data displayed on the Incubation Pod’s screen. To be honest, she couldn’t understand a single thing!

Even though she couldn’t decipher it, she recalled what Pomegranate Seed had once told her: once she had points in the future, she could use Basic Cultivation Liquid for the cubs in the first month, Mid level Culture Fluid in the second month, as well as High Level Culture Fluid and Ancestor Reversion Culture Fluid. Finally, there also seemed to be a Qualification Enhancement Culture Fluid.

Gu Weilan opened the System Mall and took another look at the prices of the Culture Fluid formulas for cubs. In reality, cub-related items were sold at relatively cheap prices. At the very least, they were far cheaper than formulas intended for adult Beastmen, like the Bloodline Purification Bath!

She turned to look at Shi Lingfeng. "You must nurture the cubs well. Absolutely do not skimp on the energy."

Shi Lingfeng felt that she valued their shared cubs because she loved him. He nodded earnestly, a layer of glistening tears surfacing in his eyes once more.

His Female Master never discriminated against him, even though he had fled miserably during his family’s power struggle and hadn’t even dared to show his face in front of other beastmen. She was even using... her childhood sweetheart’s formula to give his cubs such great potential!

Lowering his eyes, he couldn’t help but think that, if all else failed, it wouldn’t be entirely unacceptable to agree to let that childhood sweetheart join the household. Moreover, if his Female Master truly liked that childhood sweetheart, he was even willing to act as a persuader and help talk to the other Beast Husbands.

After finishing her morning routine, Gu Weilan saw him still caressing the Incubation Pod, smiling foolishly with a mix of tenderness and sorrow. She couldn’t help but ask, "I need to go discuss something with Zhan Heng. Are you sure you just want to sit here zoning out?"

Shi Lingfeng’s eyes lit up. He looked at her with a burning, tender gaze and nodded slowly in immense satisfaction. "I’m coming, Female Master!"

If he couldn’t show off to his clansmen, couldn’t he show off to the other Beast Husbands? Exactly! If he didn’t boast about this, it would be like walking in the dark wearing gorgeous brocade—utterly pointless! How could he let that happen?

Gu Weilan was eating a custard bun rich with the flavor of coconut milk when she saw Shi Lingfeng approach. He was wearing a burgundy shirt, unbuttoned at the collar to reveal a chest chain along with numerous mottled bite marks and hickeys. Most importantly, he was holding the Incubation Pod and pretending to be completely unfazed as he sat down on Lorenzo’s right side, directly facing Xie Jing.

Lorenzo widened his heterochromatic eyes slightly, while Xuanshuo bluntly asked, "Why are you holding an Incubation Pod? You... you couldn’t have... That’s impossible, right?"

Xuanshuo looked entirely in disbelief. If an Incubation Pod could so easily collect a female’s healthy essence, who would still need females to conceive naturally? Everyone would just use Incubation Pods to nurture their cubs!

Furthermore, the cubs nurtured by an Incubation Pod... Xuanshuo pursed his lips. He had seen the way Xie Jing controlled his energy, transmitting his Beast Rank Energy to the little cubs. Such cubs, even if born through an Incubation Pod, would likely have decent talent. Perhaps they wouldn’t even suffer from genetic collapse.

But how could Shi Lingfeng possibly have his own cubs so quickly? It was impossible! Absolutely impossible! Xuanshuo clenched his fists.

Meanwhile, Gu Weilan looked at Zhan Heng. "I plan to formulate a plant nutrient liquid that activates vitality. We’ll test it out at home first. If it succeeds, I’ll need you to set up a production line for the Cultivation Liquid as soon as possible."

Faint shock flashed across Zhan Heng’s narrow, phoenix-like eyes. He remained silent for a moment before giving a slight nod. "Alright."

Then, as he turned to look at Shi Lingfeng, a smile curled on his lips. "Congratulations, Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband, on getting your wish. Well then—from today onward, you no longer have any excuse to monopolize our Female Master every night, do you?"
