Chapter 85: Why Do You Get to Have a Daughter?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Why Do You Get to Have a Daughter?

Shi Lingfeng’s hands almost trembled as he held the Incubation Pod. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, a surge of lingering fear and irritation rising in his heart. Looking at Gu Weilan with his narrow, peach-blossom eyes, he called out softly, "Female Master..."

Zhan Heng glanced at Shi Lingfeng, inevitably revealing a look of contempt.

Lorenzo lowered his eyes, sneering inwardly. "Are these two automatically blocking me out?" he thought. "Seriously... Zhan Heng has become increasingly arrogant ever since he reached the Twelfth Rank!"

Lorenzo reached out and gently squeezed Gu Weilan’s right wrist, which was holding a spoon.

"Female Master, the entire patent process at the academy will still take another week, won’t it?" he asked softly.

Lorenzo was focused on changing the subject first. He knew that talking about what the Female Master cared about most would definitely make her happy. Once she finished dealing with her top priorities, she would naturally remember his thoughtfulness. He, Lorenzo, disdained bickering with Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng! He was the Beast Husband who would work quietly to coax the Female Master back into his bed! Competing for favor relied on wisdom! Did Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng really think it relied on talk?

TCH!

Lorenzo thought things through very clearly, but his face revealed absolutely nothing.

Seeing the extreme excitement in Gu Weilan’s eyes, Zhan Heng knew that his Female Master was currently much more interested in her career than in her Beast Husbands. Although he felt a slight sense of defeat, he wasn’t discouraged. His Female Master was just that outstanding! She didn’t indulge in sensual pleasures in the slightest!

Before Shi Lingfeng could speak, Zhan Heng calmly analyzed the situation. "Rest assured, Female Master. We can procure the production line very quickly. Because our production volume is... relatively small, we are targeting a high-end audience.

"We only need a small-scale production line that focuses on precision rather than quantity. A complete mechanical production line—including the Extraction Instrument, packaging machines, and vacuum sealers—can be installed in just a few days."

Shi Lingfeng frowned slightly. "Female Master..." he said softly. "I think it’s fine if we just sell the Cultivation Liquid you made before. The new Cultivation Liquid we created yesterday isn’t very suitable for use on the production line."

Zhan Heng, Lorenzo, Xie Jing, and Xuanshuo all looked at Shi Lingfeng.

Shi Lingfeng shrugged. "It’s just a suggestion."

Zhan Heng immediately understood. Yesterday, the Female Master had produced a higher-quality Cultivation Liquid... Could it be a Selection Level Cultivation Liquid? Impossible! Right, regardless of whether it was possible or not, it had to be impossible!

Zhan Heng glanced at Xuanshuo, then looked back at Shi Lingfeng and let out an inevitable chuckle. "Shi Lingfeng Beast Husband, the Female Master won’t like a Beast Husband who shows off like this. You’d better... heh."

By framing Shi Lingfeng’s words as mere petty jealousy between Beast Husbands, Zhan Heng managed to gloss over the conversation.

In truth, the moment Shi Lingfeng had spoken, he realized he shouldn’t have been so blunt! After all, the Female Master had clearly told them that she was going to dissolve her match with Xuanshuo.

After eating her fill, Gu Weilan got up and led her three legal Beast Husbands to the glasshouse. There, she mixed a small cup of Spiritual Spring Water into a spray bottle. She instructed Zhan Heng to spray the entire bottle of this mixture, now labeled as the "Special Planting Nutrient Liquid," over the seedlings.

Zhan Heng finished the task in no time. Meanwhile, Lorenzo followed the two planting robots and inspected the condition of all the seedlings.

The seedlings’ pollution value had already dropped to one!

Gu Weilan nodded. "Let’s keep cultivating them and see how they do."

Zhan Heng glanced at Shi Lingfeng and couldn’t help but ask, "Female Master, why don’t we go to my room and discuss exactly what Shi Lingfeng meant by his comment earlier?"

Gu Weilan gave a slight nod and led her three legal Beast Husbands to Zhan Heng’s room.

Xuanshuo pursed his lips. He secretly sent a message to Gu Weilan’s Light Brain, hoping she would see it and find time to meet him alone.

Xie Jing, naturally noticing Xuanshuo’s little gesture, was preoccupied with other thoughts. He looked at the time on his Light Brain. Two weeks remained. If Gu Weilan didn’t cancel the application to dissolve their match... he would be automatically unmatched!

Xie Jing didn’t want this. But right now, seeing Gu Weilan taking his older brother and the others upstairs, it seemed they had secret matters to discuss. He felt extremely anxious. If things continued like this and his match was dissolved, how could he stay in the Female Master’s villa? If that happened... his interactions with Gu Weilan would become fewer and fewer.

No, absolutely not! He didn’t want that to happen!

Meanwhile, Gu Weilan and the three Beast Husbands sat on the corner sofa in Zhan Heng’s room. Shi Lingfeng generously showed Zhan Heng the data on the Incubation Pod in his arms.

He was, of course, showing off! He was expecting four cubs in this litter, and two of them were highly likely to be female! Little female cubs! He would wake up laughing from his dreams at this rate. Wouldn’t this make Zhan Heng die of jealousy?

Zhan Heng saw it, and Zhan Heng was indeed jealous. However, he was very clear on Shi Lingfeng’s intentions, so he kept a perfectly composed expression on his face. Giving a slight nod, he stood up and gestured for Lorenzo to come take a look.

Lorenzo didn’t want to leave his seat beside Gu Weilan, but Shi Lingfeng was holding the Incubation Pod as if holding his own life. There was absolutely no way he would bring the Incubation Pod over to Lorenzo! Therefore, Lorenzo had no choice but to get up and walk over to Shi Lingfeng’s side.

Zhan Heng took this opportunity to sit right beside Gu Weilan. He massaged her legs and asked in a deep, magnetic voice, "It must have been hard work, right? Female Master, you’re truly amazing!"

A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Lorenzo’s mouth. He thought Zhan Heng was far too good at kissing up, using nothing but cheap, underhanded tactics...

That was, until he saw the Selection Level rating. His brain crashed for a moment.

What in the world?

Lorenzo widened his heterochromatic eyes, looking from Shi Lingfeng to the Incubation Pod with a face full of disbelief. "Are you even worthy of this?" he thought.

Then, Lorenzo looked back at Gu Weilan, his face full of adoration. "Whose Female Master is this outstanding?" he marveled inwardly. "Oh, she’s mine!"

Yet, a trace of sorrow crept in. His Female Master was so extraordinary, but... just because he hadn’t fought for her favor, look what happened. Who knew when she would be able to release such excellent seeds so smoothly again? He had missed his chance to have his own cubs!

At first, he had agreed to let Shi Lingfeng enjoy a few extra days of Beast Husband treatment this month purely because it wasn’t easy for a Beastman to conceive—especially using an Incubation Pod! Under normal circumstances, even after a Female Master and a Beast Husband shared a bed for a year or a half with a Collector, it was entirely normal to struggle with conception!

How could it be that... Shi Lingfeng had actually managed to get four cubs! And two of them were highly likely to be little female cubs! Sweet, soft, and fragrant little daughters!

He couldn’t bear to think about it; just the thought made him feel like his heart would shatter from the pain!

Lorenzo looked at Zhan Heng, hoping to see a trace of sorrow on his face or in his eyes. However, Zhan Heng revealed absolutely no emotion.

What Lorenzo didn’t know was that Zhan Heng was screaming internally like a boiling kettle. "WAAAH! Why! On what grounds! What kind of dog is Shi Lingfeng anyway? Why does he get to have daughters! AHHH—WAAAH!"
