Yunyang had originally planned to summon one of her husbands for the night.
She knew her own body well, and the staff at the treatment center had also told her that she was perfectly healthy now.
But when she lowered her head and checked the date, she immediately gave up on the idea.
It was already the twenty-third. According to her usual cycle, her period would arrive today or tomorrow.
At the thought, Yunyang took a painkiller from her spatial button and hurriedly swallowed it.
Hopefully, her period would be a little late this month and wait until the painkiller had taken effect before showing up.
Worried that her period might come before the medicine had time to work, Yunyang abandoned the idea of summoning one of her husbands.
She remembered that the sachets she had asked Fuyuan to make still hadn’t been sent out. She decided to find them and place an order for federal express delivery on the Star Network.
Less than half an hour later, a delivery robot arrived at her door and collected the carefully packaged sachets.
They had been sent out in the morning, and by afternoon, You Lu and Chu Zhiwei had already received theirs.
Two new messages appeared in the group chat.
You Lu: Yangyang, this smells so nice. What is it?
Chu Zhiwei: This material… It was made by merfolk, wasn’t it? Yangyang, did you take in that mutated merperson?
Yunyang replied to them one by one.
Yunyang: It’s a sachet. The filling is an ancient plant replica from S28. Carrying it with you can help soothe your emotions.
Yunyang: Nothing gets past you, Sister Zhiwei.
Chu Zhiwei: Thank you, Yangyang.
You Lu: Thank you, Yangyang~ Did you finish using the things I sent you last time? Do you want me to send you some more?
Yunyang: …There’s no need.
The “things” You Lu was referring to were naturally the boxes and boxes of little “toys.”
Yunyang truly didn’t need any more.
Her husbands’ stamina alone was already more than she could handle. Adding those toys into the mix would be too much.
Of the things You Lu had sent previously, only the fake animal ears had been used by several of her husbands, along with the jade plaque.
As for the rest… she had no desire to try them for the time being.
Yunyang changed the subject and chatted with her two close friends for a while. Then she took out some insect cores and absorbed their energy while scrolling through the Star Network.
While traveling on S28, she had been thoroughly indulging herself and hadn’t absorbed even a single insect core.
Now that she was home, it was time to work hard again.
Yunyang had sent out three sachets in total. Since Yun Shaoqi lived so far away, he didn’t receive his package until that evening.
By then, he and his comrades had finished training and showered.
Although they had been sharing a room for quite some time, this was the first time either of his roommates had seen Yun Shaoqi receive a delivery.
The kangaroo beastman in the neighboring bed leaned over. “Shaoqi, did you buy something online?”
“What did you get?” the hedgehog beastman on the other side asked curiously.
They all lived in the same dormitory, so Yun Shaoqi didn’t bother hiding it. After scanning the sender’s information, he revealed a somewhat smug smile.
“My little sister sent it to me.”
Everyone on T01 knew that Yun Shaoqi’s little sister was Lady Yunyang.
The kangaroo and hedgehog beastmen couldn’t help feeling envious. Why didn’t they have sisters of their own?
Under his two comrades’ envious gazes, Yun Shaoqi opened the package.
Inside was another small box. He carefully opened it, afraid of damaging it by accident.
Inside the box was a fist-sized sachet.
As soon as he opened it, the scent of dried rosemary drifted through the room.
The kangaroo beastman took a deep breath, his eyes lighting up. “Why do I feel like my mood improved just from smelling this?”
The hedgehog beastman nodded in agreement. “Shaoqi, did Lady Yunyang say what this is? I want to get some too.”
“I’ll ask Yangyang.”
Seeing that the sachet had a cord attached to it, Yun Shaoqi eagerly hung it from his waist before opening his optical brain to ask Yunyang about it.
Yunyang was sleeping alone that night, so she replied very quickly.
After reading her message, Yun Shaoqi’s face filled with emotion.
“Yangyang says this is a kind of ancient plant replica from S28, number LZ047. She brought it back from her trip there a few days ago.”
His little sister had even brought him a gift from her trip.
His little sister was truly the best.
Overcome with emotion, Yun Shaoqi immediately transferred all the federal credits he had saved since joining the Federal Army to Yunyang.
The next second, the transfer was returned to him—along with ten times the original amount.
Yunyang: Brother Shaoqi, I’m not short of money. Keep it for yourself.
It wasn’t that Yunyang was unwilling to accept his money. She simply knew that Yun Shaoqi didn’t have much to spare.
Once male beastmen reached adulthood, their families stopped giving them spending money.
After Yun Shaoqi had been divorced, he had left the property under his name with his former female spouse. Naturally, he didn’t have many federal credits left.
Yunyang herself was not short of money, so under these circumstances, she certainly wasn’t willing to take his.
Looking at the huge sum that had appeared in his account, Yun Shaoqi sniffed.
Having a little sister was wonderful.
He had to work hard and earn money. In the future, he would repay her a hundredfold—or even a thousandfold!
While Yun Shaoqi was overwhelmed with emotion, his two comrades wore disappointed expressions.
Ancient plant replicas from S28 were rarely sold to outsiders. Even when they were available, they were generally sold only to female beastmen.
There was no hope of them buying any.
Fortunately, they had Yun Shaoqi as a comrade.
The kangaroo beastman draped an arm over Yun Shaoqi’s shoulder. “Shaoqi, aren’t we good brothers?”
Yun Shaoqi looked at him warily. “On the battlefield, yes. Off the battlefield, we don’t have to be.”
The kangaroo beastman fell silent.
He could only be direct. “Good brother, let me smell it one more time. I feel like my contamination level has gone down.”
His contamination level had previously been eighty-two.
Although it wasn’t high enough to make him lose control, it often left him tense and gave him headaches.
After smelling the rosemary, his headache had eased considerably. Naturally, the kangaroo beastman assumed that his contamination level had dropped.
The hedgehog beastman chimed in as well. “I feel it too. Shaoqi, let me smell it too!”
Yun Shaoqi protected the sachet at his waist and backed away repeatedly.
“Don’t try to fool me. If it could really lower contamination levels, the Federation would have already developed a purification drug based on it.”
Before leaving T01, Yunyang had helped Yun Shaoqi lower his contamination level to thirty-one. As a result, his contamination level still wasn’t high enough to cause the negative effects associated with severe contamination.
All he felt was that the sachet smelled pleasant, so he hadn’t given it much thought.
“Why don’t you believe us? Wait, I’ll check my contamination level right now.”
The kangaroo beastman immediately activated the contamination-level detection function on his optical brain.
The hedgehog beastman did the same.
If ancient plant replicas could truly lower contamination levels, it would be wonderful news for the entire Federation. Yun Shaoqi watched both of their optical brains as well.
Ten minutes later, the results came out.
Their contamination levels were eighty-two and eighty-four, exactly the same as the readings they had received at the training grounds that afternoon.
The two males froze.
It really hadn’t gone down?
The hedgehog beastman scratched his head. “My headache has eased quite a bit. I thought my contamination level had dropped below eighty.”
“Same here,” the kangaroo beastman said.
Yun Shaoqi looked thoughtfully at the sachet hanging from his waist.
“Should we report this to the commander?”
Even if it couldn’t lower contamination levels, being able to ease the headaches caused by high contamination would still be extremely useful to the Federal Army.
Yun Shaoqi felt that it was worth reporting.
The hedgehog beastman and the kangaroo beastman voiced their agreement. The three of them changed back into their uniforms and headed for the central control tower.
They had barely left the dormitory area when they ran into someone they knew.
“Brother!”
Yun Shaoqi greeted the other man warmly.
The man stopped and glanced at the three of them in their neat military uniforms before asking, “Heading to the tower?”
Yun Shaoqi nodded. He had nothing to hide from his good brother.
“Yangyang sent me a sachet. It contains an ancient plant from Planet S28, and it seems to relieve the headaches caused by pollution. I’m planning to report it to the commander.”
At that, the man’s gaze fell on the sachet hanging from Yun Shaoqi’s waist.
She sent it…
