As if sensing something, all six beast husbands turned around at the same time.
But the person had lowered their head again, and the men failed to notice anything unusual.
The six beast husbands could only withdraw their gazes and follow Yunyang out of the purification room.
The lounge was still the one Lao Wei had specially set aside for her. While Yunyang rested inside, Fuyuan continuously used his ability to help restore her mental strength.
When Yunyang’s complexion gradually improved, the other five beast husbands eyed Fuyuan suspiciously.
They remembered that back at the Gene Research Institute, Fuyuan had displayed the second form of his ability to their female, which was what prompted her to give him her comm-link number.
This Fuyuan…
It wasn’t that Fuyuan hadn’t noticed the looks from his five rivals, but there was no way he would tell them about this.
He was only willing to tell their female.
Yunyang certainly had no intention of bringing it up herself.
This concerned Fuyuan’s privacy. If he wanted to tell the other beast husbands, he would not need her to say anything.
Since Fuyuan clearly did not wish to disclose it, she could not disregard his wishes and reveal his private information.
After resting for ten minutes, Yunyang took her hand out of Fuyuan’s.
The sound-wave ability was not particularly fast at restoring mental strength. In that short time, it had only helped her recover ten percent, but she already felt much better.
The soft sensation in his hand disappeared, leaving it strangely empty.
Fuyuan felt a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his emotions.
It was fine. He was the only one who could help their female recover her mental strength. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Fuyuan, who had yet to merge his spiritual form with Yunyang’s, thought this with satisfaction.
Yunyang drank some water, then stood up. “I’m rested now. Let’s go back.”
If they returned home and made the necessary preparations, it would be just about time for dinner.
Under Lao Wei and a group of supervisors’ escort, Yunyang boarded the family’s aircraft with her beast husbands and headed home.
Today, Yunyang sat by the window.
When the aircraft started up, she instinctively looked outside.
A small white figure flashed through her field of vision. Yunyang narrowed her eyes, trying to get a better look, but the aircraft had already begun moving.
The surrounding scenery swept rapidly backward, and Yunyang could only withdraw her gaze.
Half an hour later, the aircraft arrived outside the villa.
Fuyuan piloted it into the landing area, then hurried to catch up with the others.
“Master, you have a package.”
As soon as they entered, Steward One approached with an enormous package.
Without Yunyang needing to give any orders, Qin Mo and Xuan Yu stepped forward first and carefully carried the package to an open space in the living room.
Yunyang followed and verified her genetic information. The enormous package then opened automatically.
The six beast husbands glanced at the contents before wearing identical expressions of confusion.
“Female, what is this?”
“Is this a stove?”
“This is a barbecue grill.” Yunyang directed the beast husbands to carry it out, then carefully inspected it.
Barbecue grills seemed to have been phased out in the interstellar era. Even so, this one was far more advanced than the grill in Yunyang’s memories.
For starters, it did not require fuel.
Yunyang had no idea where its energy came from. She only knew that once the temperature and heat level were set, the grill could produce flames according to those values.
When the grill burst into flame, the six beast husbands finally remembered that this was a product that had already been discontinued.
None of them said anything. They simply followed Yunyang’s instructions, carrying the grill to the open space outside the villa. They also brought out seven chairs and arranged them around it.
The ingredients they had prepared earlier were brought out along with the storage box.
Yunyang sat in the seat of honor, with three beast husbands on either side of her. They placed the ingredients on the grill and began cooking.
While grilling the meat, Yunyang also had Fu Shiyi pick some tender stems and leaves of rosemary. After washing them, they sprinkled them over the meat.
The meat had been marinated thoroughly, and its fragrance began to spread even before it was fully cooked.
Yunyang took a photo with her comm-link and sent it to the group chat she shared with the other two women.
[You Lu: What is that?! I want some, I want some!]
[Chu Zhiwei: It looks delicious. Yunyang’s beast husbands are pretty good cooks.]
[Yunyang: It’s barbecue. I’ll treat you both to some if we get the chance.]
[You Lu: I’m holding you to that, Yunyang. You’re not allowed to go back on your word.]
Yunyang chatted with her friends for a while, and by then the first batch of meat was ready.
Xuan Yu tested it, and after confirming that the flavor was fine, he picked up a skewer. He used his ability to lower its temperature slightly before handing it to Yunyang.
“Female, try it and see if it tastes good.”
The other beast husbands also watched Yunyang expectantly.
Yunyang took the skewer and bit into a small piece. Her teeth broke through the tender meat, and the juices burst directly into her mouth.
Fortunately, Xuan Yu had lowered the temperature beforehand, so the juices did not scald her.
Yunyang chewed carefully, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
“Delicious!”
Only after hearing her say that did the six beast husbands relax.
“We’re glad you like it, female.”
As they spoke, the six men picked up the remaining skewers and began eating as well.
They had to eat while continuing to grill the food, while Yunyang’s only job was to eat—and issue orders without pause.
“I want the meat a little more charred!”
“Sprinkle some seasoning on the vegetables.”
“You can’t grill the seafood like that. Do it this way…”
“…”
Yunyang’s voice was not particularly loud, but since they were currently the only family living in Residential District Three, it carried unusually clearly.
Outside the residential district, a fluffy white beastman hid among the artificial flowers. Through the gaps between the foliage, a pair of green fox eyes gazed obsessively at Yunyang.
The glow of the barbecue flames danced across her face, making her features appear even more radiant.
Her eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, bright enough to astonish anyone.
Such a beautiful female made him seem like nothing more than a bug crawling through a gutter.
The beastman watched Yunyang greedily while condemning his own despicable behavior with frantic intensity.
He had brought equipment that concealed his presence, which was why no one outside the villa had noticed him.
But he did not dare advance even half a step.
Even the finest equipment specially supplied to the Federation military could not evade the security system of the female residential district.
This was the Federation’s protection for females.
If he went any farther, the security system would detect him.
He could not do that.
The white beastman hid outside the residential district, in a place from which he could see Yunyang, his gaze fixed on her the entire time.
Yunyang suddenly stopped eating.
“Why do I feel like someone is watching me?”
The six beast husbands immediately checked the residential district’s security system. Only after confirming that it was operating normally did they relax.
“Female, no one has entered.”
The Federation did indeed possess equipment capable of concealing one’s presence, but there was no equipment that could evade the security system.
As long as the security system was functioning normally, it was impossible for an outsider to enter a female’s residential district without triggering the alarm.
Yunyang frowned. Why had she been experiencing so many illusions today?
Could it be a side effect of absorbing the Tide Spirit Amber?
But the people at the treatment center had all said that she was perfectly healthy.
Unable to figure it out, Yunyang simply stopped thinking about it and continued eating barbecue.
As an S-rank ability user, the white beastman heard Yunyang’s words clearly despite the distance.
It was as though he had been struck. He abruptly withdrew his gaze.
He had been discovered.
The white beastman did not dare spy on her any longer and carefully left the area outside the residential district.
