Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Good News and Bad News

However, Zhan Heng was clearly not the only Beast Husband with this idea. Shi Lingfeng also wanted to pull Gu Weilan aside to chat about their cub’s future, his Female Master’s future, and her past...

Meanwhile, Lorenzo slightly furrowed his brows, putting on a pitiful expression. Among Gu Weilan’s four Beast Husbands, Lorenzo Snow was the oldest, yet he possessed a striking boyish charm. Thus, the moment he revealed such a look, Gu Weilan couldn’t help but soften her stance.

She couldn’t help but swallow hard. Just as she was on the verge of being so thoroughly seduced by Lorenzo’s innocent act and stunning looks that she nearly forgot where she was, Zhan Heng reached out and tightly grasped her hand. He deliberately pushed open her half-clenched palm and assertively slipped his fingers through hers, intertwining them. It was his usual, domineering gesture during their intimate moments.

This bold move instantly snapped Gu Weilan back to her senses, leaving her blushing furiously.

A dark glint flashed through Lorenzo’s heterochromatic eyes. "I was so close to making the Female Master cave in and agree!" he thought. "That Zhan Heng Beast Husband is truly annoying!"

At the same time, Shi Lingfeng wrapped his free arm around Gu Weilan’s waist, gently rubbing his thumb against her soft flesh. He was making his stance clear: if they were going to fight for her attention, he wasn’t going to back down either.

Speechless, Gu Weilan gave a decisive wave of her hand and laid down the law. "From now on, each Beast Husband gets one day. No fighting." She blinked and immediately added, "I need to go perfect my research, and you all should get busy too." With that, she quickly stood up and retreated to her own room.

Xie Jing’s face was deathly pale. Aside from the very beginning when he was delivering his report and Gu Weilan looked at him with focused attention, she had only had eyes for her Beast Husbands the entire time.

What was he going to do? If he couldn’t manage to move the female Gu Weilan, the dissolution of their match would take effect!

Holding his Incubation Pod, Zhan Heng coldly eyed Shi Lingfeng, who was also holding an Incubation Pod of his own. When they were collectively discussing their Female Master contributing her technology as shares to set up a production line, they could sit together peacefully. But now that they were strictly competitors vying for their Female Master’s favor, neither of them looked particularly pleasant.

Lorenzo completely dropped the cautious, boyish demeanor he usually displayed in front of Gu Weilan. His heterochromatic eyes looked down slightly at Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng with a hint of arrogance. He merely muttered a faint, "I’m leaving," before exiting Zhan Heng’s room.

Shi Lingfeng then cast a glance at Zhan Heng. Both of them belonged to the type with sharp, resolute facial features. As a result, he considered Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou to be his biggest rivals. He had constantly noticed how easily Gu Weilan softened toward Lorenzo and Shen Mianzhou. If all four Beast Husbands used the exact same sweet words to coax their Female Master, the one she would yield to most easily was Shen Mianzhou!

Lowering his eyes, Shi Lingfeng felt a surge of joy at having discovered this pattern on his own. Yet, alongside that joy, he felt a deep sense of anxiety.

The very thing Shi Lingfeng was worried about was quietly unfolding in another room. Gu Weilan was currently exchanging Light Brain messages with Shen Mianzhou.

While out on a mission with the Hunting Team, Shen Mianzhou was dressed in a camouflage combat uniform and wore a specialized, fully-enclosed tactical helmet similar to a motorcycle helmet, featuring a special glass visor that allowed his eyes to remain visible. Having just found a resting spot with his team, he couldn’t resist snapping a holographic photo of himself and sending it to his Female Master.

Gu Weilan had never seen Shen Mianzhou looking so incredibly handsome before! Her eyes naturally lit up.

She showered him with words of care and nagging instructions, causing the corners of Shen Mianzhou’s mouth to curl higher and higher into a smile. This prompted the other males on his team to repeatedly roll their eyes.

Ugh—the sickening sweetness of their PDA!

Gu Weilan didn’t chat with Shen Mianzhou for too long; she still needed to return to her dimension to check on her massive expanse of land!

Upon seeing Gu Weilan arrive, the planting robot inside the dimension hurried over to give her a report. The robot had thoroughly familiarized itself with the general layout of the dimension, which spanned a total of ten hectares. It had watered all the originally withered plants using normal water mixed with a little Spiritual Spring Water.

The good news was: all those plants had come back to life.

The bad news was: the White Jade Well containing the Spiritual Spring Water was almost completely dry.

Gu Weilan froze for a moment. What? Say what now? What kind of absolute nonsense was this planting robot spouting?!

Refusing to believe it, Gu Weilan walked over to the White Jade Well herself. She stared down at the copper-coin-sized eye of the spring, which was barely seeping out a paper-thin layer of Spiritual Spring Water. That was all she had left!

Her eyes turning bloodshot, Gu Weilan glared at the planting robot. In that moment, she actually felt murderous intent toward a machine!

The planting robot couldn’t understand why Gu Weilan was heaving with anger, looking as if she were on the verge of madness. It helpfully reminded her, "Master, the plants and medicinal herbs saved by the Spiritual Spring Water now have a medicinal age of at least five hundred years. They are top-tier treasures!"

Top-tier my foot! You cursed Huang Guiquan!

Gu Weilan took a deep breath, clenching her fists tightly as she desperately tried to talk herself down. "It cost 50 points," she reminded herself. "If I break it, I’ll be at an even bigger loss." But ugh, she really wanted to cry!

Taking another deep breath, Gu Weilan mechanically turned her head to look at the planting robot. Through gritted teeth, she asked, "Could you please tell me what made you decide to use up all the Spiritual Spring Water to save those wretched herbs?"

An expression of surprise flashed across the display panel on the robot’s head, and it looked at Gu Weilan as if she were an absolute idiot.

Gu Weilan closed her eyes. Deep breaths. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If I die of anger, no one will take my place!

The planting robot answered earnestly, "Master, if you process these medicinal herbs using Extraction Instruments to synthesize potion formulas, the quality of the resulting potions will be immeasurable!"

The robot thought for a moment before offering an example. "Take the Cultivation Liquid that Master frequently formulates right now. The recipe for the basic Cultivation Liquid includes golden soybeans, Crystal Corn, thorny rose fruit and sea buckthorn, Deep Green Spinach, carrot, Astragalus, goji berries, Angelica root, Moon Spirit Flower, and Golden Vein Vine.

"Aside from the Moon Spirit Flower and Golden Vein Vine, everything else is present within the dimension.

"If Master takes these ingredients and adds just one soybean grown in this dimension with centuries of medicinal age to 300 grams of standard golden soybeans; or places one ancient kernel of corn from the dimension into 300 grams of normal corn kernels; or mixes half a thorny rose fruit from the dimension into 100 grams of standard thorny rose fruit; or adds half a sea buckthorn from here into 100 grams of standard sea buckthorn...

"The Cultivation Liquid Master extracts will exceed the Selection Level by more than three times. I am not currently sure what that tier is called, but the results will be highly impressive.

"Master told me to farm well, and that the future production line would depend on me. So, I worked very hard to achieve that! Furthermore, I have observed that the Spiritual Spring Water is still slowly condensing. It is merely slower and lesser in volume right now. But it is still accumulating, and it will eventually gather once more. So, Master, why are you unhappy?"

Gu Weilan’s mind raced. What if she just dropped three to five of these special crops into a massive vat of standard golden soybeans, corn, sea buckthorn, Angelica root, and the rest on her production line? Would her excellent level Cultivation Liquid then be elevated to the Selection Level?

If that were the case, and other Beastmen used her manufactured Cultivation Liquid, and by some chance gave birth to cubs with atavistic bloodlines... Wouldn’t she also earn points for that?

Gu Weilan suddenly flashed the planting robot a wide, eight-tooth smile. "Well done!"

Yet, the instant Gu Weilan excitedly emerged from her dimension, she sensed that there was someone else inside her room!
