Originally, Pei Wenye had been the only one wary of him.
But the moment Chen Yueli said that, all six beast husbands became wary as well.
Qin Mo, Xuan Yu, and Rong Jin immediately revealed their ears, while Pei Wenye, Fu Shiyi, and Fuyuan took out realistic beast ears and put them on.
Without a word, the six beast husbands began competing for Yunyang’s attention.
So what if she liked fluffy things? They could be fluffy too.
Seeing this scene, the regulators standing nearby silently wondered: If Lady Yunyang liked fluffy creatures, could they perhaps…
Yunyang was indeed distracted.
But not because of the six beast husbands. It was because of what Chen Yueli had said.
If she remembered correctly, the last time she had gone to Planet S28, she had only purified one beastman.
The son of the director of Planet S28’s tourism bureau—Chen Yueli.
That Little Leopard who could use the duplication ability.
She remembered that Chen Yueli had used his ability back then, which was why she had seen two identical black panthers.
Come to think of it, could he use the duplication ability in human form too?
Seeing that Yunyang was interested in Chen Yueli, Pei Wenye, though unwilling, still moved aside to reveal the person behind him.
After the purification had ended, one of the regulators had already removed Chen Yueli’s restraints.
The moment Chen Yueli saw Yunyang looking over, he immediately jumped to his feet.
“Lady Yunyang…” He tried to step forward, but all six beast husbands blocked him in perfect unison.
Chen Yueli could only look at Yunyang. His gray-green eyes were watery, as if he were deliberately acting cute.
Yunyang voiced the question that had popped into her mind. “Can you use the duplication ability in human form too?”
“I can!”
Chen Yueli nodded at once. The next second, Yunyang saw two identical Chen Yuelis standing before her, both with black panther ears and tails.
This ability seemed rather interesting.
Yunyang crooked her finger.
The two Chen Yuelis immediately squeezed past the six beast husbands and came to stand in front of her.
They lowered their heads in perfect synchronization, even their gazes seeming to have been carved from the same mold.
“You want to become my beast husband?”
The two Chen Yuelis nodded vigorously, undisguised affection shining in their eyes.
Yunyang curved her lips. “Then apply for a match through the Marriage Center first. Once the result comes back, I’ll consider it.”
There were two kinds of matches arranged by the Marriage Center. One was a random match, like the one that had initially paired Yunyang with her five beast husbands.
The other was a designated match, which was what Fuyuan had applied for. Usually, only males used this option.
When a male applied for a designated match, the Marriage Center would notify the female only if their genetic compatibility exceeded ninety percent.
Even then, the final decision still rested with the female. If she was unwilling, then not even a ninety-nine-point-nine-percent compatibility rate would make any difference.
Chen Yueli’s appearance and figure were no inferior to those of the six beast husbands, and his ability was exceptionally unique.
Yunyang was somewhat interested in him, but not enough to accept him outright. The main reason was that she already had one feline beast husband.
However, if Chen Yueli’s genetic compatibility with her was high, she wouldn’t be completely opposed to considering him.
After all, he was a Little Leopard who could duplicate himself~
To Chen Yueli, Yunyang’s words meant that he had been given a chance.
He immediately agreed, withdrew his duplicate, opened his light brain, and submitted a match application to the Federation Marriage Center.
Yunyang had no interest in waiting around for the result.
She had spent far too long at the Purification Tower that day and was beginning to feel hungry.
Yunyang sent Lao Wei a message through her light brain, then left the Purification Tower with her six beast husbands.
The moment Lao Wei received the notification, he hurried down from the administrative area.
He escorted Yunyang to the entrance of the Purification Tower. Before she boarded the flying vessel, he said, “Lady Yunyang, you’ve been purifying people continuously for many days. Would you like to take two days off?”
Although the situation at the Purification Tower had not improved much, Lao Wei was still worried that Lady Yunyang might be overexerting herself.
During this period, Lady Yunyang had come every day, unfailingly purifying fifty-two highly contaminated males.
Many of those males had once served in the Federation military. This was a bit of Lao Wei’s own selfishness.
Lao Wei was deeply grateful to Yunyang.
But aside from the compensation he was supposed to provide, he could think of no other way to thank her.
All he could do was show concern for her health.
Yunyang had not expected Lao Wei to say that.
She knew about his personal motives. Qin Mo had told her long ago that Lao Wei had assigned many former Federation soldiers to the half of the available slots that had not been released to the public.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
Besides, purifying the males’ contamination benefited her as well.
She only needed to expend a little mental energy. If she accidentally used too much, Fuyuan could help restore it, and she could also recover by using her spiritual form with her beast husbands.
Therefore, although she came to the Purification Tower every day, she never felt tired.
Still, taking two days off would be fine.
Yunyang nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble Mr. Lao Wei with informing those who have already made appointments.”
Lao Wei gave a hearty laugh. “Lady Yunyang, there’s no need to worry about that. I haven’t released tomorrow’s purification slots yet.”
To prevent Lady Yunyang from having other matters to attend to, he waited until she had finished purifying for the day before opening appointments for the next day.
Yunyang glanced at Fu Shiyi, then quietly asked Lao Wei about his contamination level.
After receiving the answer, she offered, “Mr. Lao Wei, let me purify some of your contamination too.”
She still had plenty of mental energy left that day—more than enough to purify Lao Wei.
But Lao Wei refused. “Lady Yunyang, you’ve already worked hard today. Go home and rest. My contamination level isn’t that high yet.”
Without giving him a chance to argue, Yunyang released her mental energy and performed a simple purification for Lao Wei.
Once it was over, she boarded the flying vessel accompanied by her six beast husbands.
Lao Wei watched the vessel disappear into the distance, the faint glimmer of tears in his slightly wrinkled eyes.
He could no longer return to the battlefield, yet Lady Yunyang was still willing to purify him.
Lady Yunyang truly was a wonderful person.

On the way home, all six beast husbands tacitly avoided mentioning Chen Yueli.
As far as they were concerned, their female had essentially rejected him in a roundabout way.
After all, if genetic compatibility was below ninety percent, the Marriage Center would not notify the female at all.
There were not many males who could achieve a high genetic compatibility rate with their female.
The six beast husbands remained optimistic.
But early the next morning, before Yunyang had even gotten out of bed, Steward One informed them that a guest had arrived.
Xuan Yu asked, “001, can you identify the visitor’s information?”
“Genetic identification successful. Visitor: Chen Yueli. Born on Planet S28. SS-rank duplication ability user. Threat level: high.”
“Would you like to activate the defense system?”
Chen Yueli?
At the sound of that name, the five beast husbands in the living room all changed expression.
What was this Black Panther doing here so early in the morning?
Pei Wenye rose to his feet. “I’ll go take a look.”
Knowing that he and Chen Yueli were both from Planet S28, the other four beast husbands nodded in unison.
Pei Wenye left the house at top speed and walked to the entrance of the residential district.
The moment he saw Chen Yueli, his expression darkened, and he asked coldly, “Chen Yueli, what are you doing here?”
Lady Yunyang hadn’t mentioned the match the night before. That had to mean Chen Yueli’s genetic compatibility with her was too low and that the Marriage Center had rejected him outright.
“Youngest Pei, I’m here to see Lady Yunyang.” Chen Yueli completely ignored Pei Wenye’s unfriendly expression, his eyes filled with delight.
Pei Wenye had a bad feeling.
