Chapter 90: Chapter 90: When Xie Jing Is Quiet, He Is Definitely Up to No Good

Zhan Heng looked at the Cultivation Liquid, which had a pollution level of 14 and had been rated as Selection Level, and was absolutely delighted.

He carefully poured the Cultivation Liquid into the Incubation Pod. Then, using its straps, he secured the Incubation Pod to his body. With one hand, he continuously infused energy into the pod, and with the other, he took Gu Weilan’s hand and led her downstairs.

Seeing Zhan Heng lead Gu Weilan down the stairs hand in hand, Lorenzo and Shi Lingfeng clenched their jaws tightly. Even though they had claimed the seats closest to Gu Weilan early on, they couldn’t bring themselves to be happy. They wondered if Zhan Heng was going a bit too far. None of them had gone up to disturb the Female Master, so how dare Zhan Heng secretly break the rules?

In reality, the only reason they hadn’t was that they didn’t have fingerprint access to the Female Master’s room. Zhan Heng, however, had his fingerprints registered in Gu Weilan’s room by the woman herself! Using his previous Spiritual Sea collapse and near-berserk state as an excuse, Zhan Heng had obtained permission to enter Gu Weilan’s room at will, granting him free access to her bedroom.

Lorenzo’s mismatched eyes darkened coldly for a moment. When he looked at Zhan Heng, the intense competitiveness in his gaze almost manifested into tangible flames. Meanwhile, Shi Lingfeng narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhan Heng deliberately lift the Incubation Pod in his direction.

As Zhan Heng sat down next to Shi Lingfeng, he purposely pointed at the display on his Incubation Pod, which showed that the second addition of Cultivation Liquid was rated at Selection Level.

Shi Lingfeng sneered. "My cub used Selection Level from the very beginning."

Zhan Heng’s expression darkened for a second before returning to normal. "It’s not too late for my cub to use Selection Level now, and its aptitude is excellent."

Shi Lingfeng laughed again. "It’s not like I haven’t seen it..."

Sitting at the head of the table, Gu Weilan looked between Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng. "They are both my cubs!"

On his mature, handsome face, Shi Lingfeng unexpectedly revealed a pitiful, puppy-like expression. He felt wronged because he believed the Female Master was being biased. Not only was Zhan Heng allowed free access to her room, but the Female Master hadn’t gotten angry when Zhan Heng was showing off. It was only when Shi Lingfeng spoke up that she lost her temper. He felt that the Female Master didn’t like him as much as she liked Zhan Heng. He was genuinely heartbroken!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Weilan reached under the table and gave Shi Lingfeng’s forearm a reassuring squeeze. "Stop fussing," she coaxed in a low voice. "I’ll keep you company tonight."

This time, Lorenzo’s raised eyebrows weren’t part of some calculated, innocent-acting facade! He genuinely wore an expression that screamed, "Female Master, look at me! I’m so pitiful!"

Gu Weilan could feel Lorenzo’s burning gaze and couldn’t very well pretend to ignore it. Pursing her lips, she turned to look at Lorenzo and smiled. "I’ll keep you company tomorrow night!"

Lorenzo stretched out his leg, using his white-socked foot to gently rub against the calf of Gu Weilan’s leg, brushing lightly over her skin.

Holding the Incubation Pod, Zhan Heng couldn’t help but let out a soft snort, looking at Gu Weilan with a faint, mocking smile.

Gu Weilan nodded at Zhan Heng. "I’ll keep you company the night after tomorrow!" She was going to spend time with all of them! Ugh...

To avoid any further complications, Gu Weilan hurriedly lowered her head and started eating. Zhan Heng cast a cold glare at Lorenzo and Shi Lingfeng. Lorenzo simply glared back at him, while Shi Lingfeng focused on placing food into Gu Weilan’s bowl, only glancing at the other two from the corner of his eye. Only Xie Jing sat at the table feeling absolutely miserable as he watched Gu Weilan bury herself in her meal.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by since Shi Lingfeng started carrying his Incubation Pod.

The research studio on the first floor of the villa had finished its renovations. The professors had finally waited until this day.

The corn, soybeans, Angelica root, and goji berries that Gu Weilan had planted—the essential plants needed for the Cultivation Liquid—had all gradually ripened. Due to the interstellar environment, these crops had undergone numerous genetic improvements, which significantly shortened their growth cycles. However, under the care of Gu Weilan’s Spiritual Spring Water mist, the growth cycles of these plants had been extended as much as possible. This extended growth cycle did not negatively affect the plants. Instead, it further increased their trace element and energy content.

In front of the professors of Agronomy, Herbology, Pharmacy, and Pharmacology, Gu Weilan went into the glasshouse and harvested enough plants to make three portions of Cultivation Liquid. Under the recording of a teaching assistant, she performed the extraction right there on the spot.

A long while later, the machine displayed the result: Super Selection Level.

The professors froze. Their gazes shifted from the screen to her face, then back to the screen again. No one said a word. What exactly was a Super Selection Level? They weren’t sure. They needed to look again.

The professors’ eyes once again darted from the screen to her face, and back to the screen. After a long silence, one of the professors finally spoke up. "This is impossible..."

They requested to see her planting grounds. Gu Weilan led them to the glasshouse behind the villa. The professors squatted at the edge of the field, picking up pinches of soil to examine closely. They conversed in hushed tones, exchanged glances, and then fell silent once more.

The Agronomy professor couldn’t help but ask, "Would the female Gu Weilan consider changing her major?"

"She is not changing her major!" the Pharmacy professor said anxiously.

The Herbology and Pharmacology professors, on the other hand, smiled amiably at Gu Weilan. "A young Beastman as dedicated and excellent as the female Shuyue is truly rare nowadays. Let’s add each other on our Light Brains. In the future, if you need any seeds when planting herbs, you can just ask us!"

The Pharmacology professor narrowed his eyes. He wasn’t particularly rich in plant seeds, but he was exceptionally knowledgeable when it came to pharmacological properties and conflicting drug interactions! "Weilan Female, if you have any questions regarding pharmacology or the mutually reinforcing and neutralizing properties of ingredients, you can ask me too. I can recommend books to help you master all pharmacological knowledge as quickly as possible!"

As a result, the four professors looked at each other, their mutual annoyance growing by the second.

Before they left, they asked Gu Weilan for a plant to take back for research. She had already checked them using the instruments Zhan Heng had bought for her. The plants she grew contained no unknown elements; they simply had high energy, low pollution, and excellent quality!

Therefore, Gu Weilan wasn’t stingy. She dug up a few knee-high seedlings from the cornfield and distributed them to the professors, roots and soil intact. The professors made a show of politely declining a few times, but their swift actions completely betrayed their words as they quickly accepted the plants.

Not long after the professors left, her patent passed its final review and was immediately approved. It was ready for production!

At some point, Zhan Heng had handed his Incubation Pod over to Xie Jing to look after. He squatted down and scooped up Gu Weilan by the knees and calves, pressing his face against her lower abdomen. He let out a joyful cheer, laughing brightly.

A smile also tugged at the corners of Lorenzo’s mouth. Even though he had worked hard for nearly a month and was becoming increasingly in sync with the Female Master in bed, there had still been no signs of pregnancy. However, seeing her career achieve such remarkable results, he was genuinely happy for her!

Carrying his own Incubation Pod, Shi Lingfeng felt a bit envious that Xie Jing could help Zhan Heng continuously infuse energy into his pod. Otherwise, he could have picked up the Female Master too!

As Xie Jing watched everything unfold before him... an idea couldn’t help but form in his mind. He had been judged by the Beast God Matching System and his match with Gu Weilan had been dissolved. Yet, he hadn’t been kicked out of the villa.

Thus, a plan began to take shape in the depths of Xie Jing’s heart—a method that would "definitely" make Gu Weilan form a bond with him...
