Chapter 86: Xuanshuo Cancels the Match

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Xuanshuo Cancels the Match

Shi Lingfeng felt Zhan Heng and Lorenzo Snow’s jealousy rising like yeast in dough; it was so sour he could smell it!

Shi Lingfeng chuckled. "So, being early isn’t as good as being lucky. Sometimes, good things just take time!"

Weren’t these "brothers from different mothers" laughing at him just a few days ago? They had mocked that it didn’t matter if he had formed a bond with the Female Master, because he was still a virgin.

Heh, so what?

He was having a little female cub! He was having a daughter! Hah! Let them die of anger! Now, who in the Gray Wolf Clan would dare oppose his right to inheritance?

As long as one of the two little females had the Beast Form of the Gray Wolf Clan, his position as the heir would be absolutely secure! Even if they didn’t let him take the heir’s seat, it would be fine! As long as his daughters grew up healthy and safe, all the properties and everything belonging to the Gray Wolf Beast Clan would be theirs anyway!

Zhan Heng’s expression instantly soured upon hearing Shi Lingfeng’s words. But then he smiled. "I’m in no rush. The Female Master will let me use the Incubation Pod to conceive a cub again in three years anyway!"

Hearing Zhan Heng say this, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but reach out and squeeze his hand.

Now that she had cubs with good aptitude and earned more points, she could have Zhan Heng bear even more outstanding cubs for her next time! Who knew, they might even produce an atavistic bloodline.

She had heard that the Qilin Clan now only had the Mo Qilin and the Fire Qilin left. The Azure jade Qilin, the Golden Qilin, and the Azure Qilin had not appeared again. It would be wonderful if she could give birth to any of these three types of Qilin cubs.

The Leopard Clan was powerful precisely because they had the Cheetah Clan, which excelled at fierce offensives; the thick-skinned Black Panther Clan; the sociable Golden Leopard Clan; and the calculating Snow Leopard Clan. The strength of a clan lay in ensuring its branch tribes did not die out. As long as the bloodline continued, one or two stunningly brilliant Beastmen would inevitably emerge from the descendants.

Everyone believed that a family’s foundation was built on fighting for resources, but without outstanding younger Beastmen, how could they even compete? Even if their ancestors had left behind vast amounts of resources, a Beast Clan with few cubs would struggle to produce exceptionally talented individuals. Let alone fighting for more resources, they couldn’t even maintain their own legacy!

After listening to Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng’s tit-for-tat exchange, Lorenzo stared intently at Gu Weilan with his heterochromatic eyes—one blood-red, the other lake-blue.

He revealed a slightly aggrieved expression. "Female Master, am I not worthy of having a cub of our own?"

Gu Weilan quickly leaned over to look at Lorenzo, who was sitting next to Shi Lingfeng, and hurriedly comforted him. "What are you talking about? We will. Right now, Zhan Heng and Ling Feng have to spend eight hours a day in the Incubation Pod, so we might need your help keeping an eye on the production line."

Lorenzo pursed his lips, his mismatched eyes hooking onto Gu Weilan. "Then... can the Female Master try her best to let me conceive a cub using the Incubation Pod too?"

Gu Weilan’s cheeks flushed slightly. She probably only had one chance a month to let a Beast Husband successfully conceive using the Incubation Pod!

Just as Gu Weilan was about to nod, Shi Lingfeng answered the question for her. "The Female Master should only have one chance every month to let the Incubation Pod’s Collector successfully collect."

Shi Lingfeng didn’t say this for any other reason than to call out Lorenzo’s ulterior motives. Did he think Shi Lingfeng couldn’t see through him? Obviously, what Lorenzo really wanted was the *process* before using the Incubation Pod!

They were both Beast Husbands who had just tasted meat for the first time. Who was he trying to fool?

Zhan Heng, however, looked at Gu Weilan. "Lanlan, since you want to research formulas and such, do you want me to convert one of the guest rooms on the first floor of the villa into a research and development lab?"

Gu Weilan nodded. "You can go ahead and arrange that. I have to start classes again in two days. The school has already sent out notices to everyone. Once my patent is approved, the number of classes I’m required to attend will drop significantly, which will give me time to do some research on potion ratios."

Upstairs, Gu Weilan and her three legal Beast Husbands were discussing and refining the patent data.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Xuanshuo looked at Xie Jing and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "The Female Master won’t even give you a second glance just because you’re helping your brother carry the Incubation Pod. What are you after?"

Hit where it hurt, Xie Jing flew into a defensive rage and sneered back, "The Female Master dislikes you so much, yet you keep hanging around and refuse to ask her to dissolve the match. What are *you* after?"

Xuanshuo’s almond eyes went wide. "The Female Master dislikes me? She’s deliberately giving me the cold shoulder to make me regret not coaxing her properly in the beginning. Can’t you see that?"

Xie Jing’s silver-gray phoenix eyes widened slightly. What kind of mental gymnastics was this? He truly hadn’t seen it in the slightest.

Xuanshuo chuckled, his face full of mockery and disdain. "No wonder you’re so eager to run around waiting on the Female Master, yet she won’t spare a single thought for you!"

Xie Jing’s confidence wavered at his words. Was that really the case? He had no experience pursuing females, and he honestly didn’t know how to win a female’s favor...

Xuanshuo held up three fingers. "For three hundred thousand Star Coins, I’ll teach you how to leave a heavy, unforgettable mark in the Female Master’s heart, just like I did."

Just as Xie Jing was about to transfer the Star Coins over, he saw Xuanshuo’s face drastically change as he suddenly activated his Light Brain.

At the same time, the butler robot walked over and said to Xuanshuo, "Male Xuanshuo, the master has applied to dissolve her match with you and requested a restraining order.

"From now on, you are forbidden from mentioning the female Gu Weilan, or any information regarding the female Gu Weilan’s legally bonded Beast Husbands, in any way.

"Please pack your belongings and move out of the female Gu Weilan’s villa as soon as possible."

Xuanshuo’s face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth and pointed at himself. "Me? The Female Master applied to dissolve our match? Why?"

The butler robot shrugged and spread its hands. "I don’t know. I am just a butler robot."

Xie Jing hurriedly grabbed the Incubation Pod and left the dining room. He noticed that the whites of Xuanshuo’s eyes had grown bloodshot. The male’s face was plastered with disbelief, followed quickly by a ferocious expression.

Xie Jing was a bit scared. What if Xuanshuo suddenly snapped and damaged the Incubation Pod in his arms? Where would he even go to cry about it then?

Watching Xie Jing head upstairs with swift and steady steps, Xuanshuo stood up with a grim expression. He brushed off some non-existent dust from his clothes and followed him up.

Xie Jing hurriedly knocked on Zhan Heng’s door. Once Zhan Heng used his Light Brain to open it, Xie Jing quickly slipped inside and immediately shut the door behind him.

He looked at Gu Weilan. "Female... did you dissolve your match with Xuanshuo?"

Gu Weilan narrowed her eyes slightly. Her expression was no longer as gentle as it had been when discussing the production line with Zhan Heng.

"Yes."

Just a moment ago, after refining the required patent data under the guidance of Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng, she had directly hit submit. Not long after, the preliminary review of the patent had been approved. Unwilling to wait even a second longer, she had immediately opened Xuanshuo’s profile on her Light Brain and clicked to apply for match dissolution.

Of course, immediately after that, the Beast God Matching System sent her another notification: her information would be placed back into the Beast God Matching System next year for a secondary match.

Soon after, professors from the academy also called her via her Light Brain regarding the patent’s details. Four professors from related disciplines needed to watch her perform a practical demonstration and record the preliminary conceptual principles of her Cultivation Liquid formula.

The moment her patent rights were fully approved, the Beast God Matching System would grant special care to exceptional Beastman talents—she could forcibly dissolve the match right away, without needing to wait out the standard two-month consideration period originally allocated for both parties. Those two months were typically meant to give matched males and females time to interact, consider whether to try and salvage the relationship, or learn to accept each other again.

Seeing that Gu Weilan’s expression was rather dark, Xie Jing swallowed his own grievances and quickly warned her, "Male Xuanshuo looked furious just now..."

DING DONG—

The sound of the doorbell rang out.
