“My female is still resting. Whatever it is, come back another day.”
Pei Wenye emphasized the words “my female,” reminding Chen Yueli not to set his sights on someone who was already spoken for.
However, Chen Yueli acted as if he hadn’t understood a word. “Then I’ll wait here until Lady Yunyang wakes up!”
Pei Wenye: “…”
Chen Yueli hadn’t entered the residential area, so Pei Wenye had no reason to drive him away.
If he wanted to wait, then let him wait. In any case, Pei Wenye had no intention of helping this black panther wake his female.
“Suit yourself.”
After tossing out those three words, Pei Wenye turned around and prepared to head back to the villa.
Chen Yueli was quick enough to grab him.
“Youngest Pei, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I want to ask you something.”
Pei Wenye was Pei Fangying’s youngest son. Back when he was still living with the Pei family, everyone who knew him called him Youngest Pei.
But later, after he was framed and cast aside by his mother, those old acquaintances gradually distanced themselves from him.
Chen Yueli, however, had never treated him like the others. It was just that, as a spacecraft-route planner, he rarely had much free time.
Thinking of this, Pei Wenye’s expression softened slightly.
“Go ahead.”
Chen Yueli rubbed his hands together. “What’s your genetic compatibility with Lady Yunyang?”
Pei Wenye lifted his eyes. He more or less knew why Chen Yueli was asking. The man had probably discovered that his genetic compatibility with his female was exceptionally high.
But this was something Pei Wenye wasn’t worried about at all.
The corner of Pei Wenye’s lips curled upward. “99.9%.”
“Why are you asking? Is your genetic compatibility with my female also 99.9%?”
No matter how high Chen Yueli’s genetic compatibility with his female was, it was basically impossible for it to exceed his.
How much?
Chen Yueli wondered if he had misheard.
But he knew Pei Wenye well enough to know that Pei Wenye would never lie about something like this.
The excitement in Chen Yueli’s heart was extinguished in an instant. He glared listlessly at Pei Wenye. “No. Do you think a 99.9% compatibility rate is something you can find everywhere?”
Pei Wenye put on an innocent expression. “Isn’t it?”
Chen Yueli: “…”
He wanted to punch this man.
The highest compatibility rate ever recorded in Federation history was only 99.9%.
Just what kind of luck had Youngest Pei stumbled into to actually have such a high compatibility rate with Lady Yunyang?
Chen Yueli admitted that he was jealous, but he had always been good at keeping things in perspective.
If he couldn’t beat Youngest Pei, then so be it. His genetic compatibility with Lady Yunyang was still quite high.
“I can’t be bothered with you!” Chen Yueli rolled his eyes toward the heavens. “Hurry back inside. I’ll wait here for Lady Yunyang.”
He didn’t know whether Lady Yunyang had seen the notice from the Federation Marriage Center, but he was determined to wait here for her.
With such a high compatibility rate, he was born to become Lady Yunyang’s beast husband!
Pei Wenye suddenly became curious. “What’s your genetic compatibility with my female?”
The moment this was mentioned, Chen Yueli perked up.
He straightened his back and cleared his throat, looking incredibly proud.
“99%!”
In the grass some distance away, the pupils of the white beastman’s emerald-green eyes contracted sharply.
With such a high compatibility rate, if Lady Yunyang was willing, this black panther beastman would definitely become her seventh beast husband.
But clearly…
The white beastman seemed to have thought of something, and his foxlike eyes dimmed.
The nine fluffy tails behind him swayed gently as he secretly made up his mind.
Pei Wenye had guessed that Chen Yueli’s compatibility with his female would be fairly high, but he hadn’t expected it to be 99%.
No wonder Chen Yueli had rushed over first thing in the morning.
He needed to tell the other rivals about this.
Pei Wenye didn’t continue chatting with Chen Yueli. He turned around and went back into the villa.
Inside, Qin Mo, who had accompanied Yunyang the previous night, had already come downstairs. The other beast husbands had told him about Chen Yueli’s arrival.
Thus, the moment Pei Wenye entered the house, he was met by five pairs of eyes.
A mischievous idea suddenly came to Pei Wenye. In a mysterious tone, he said, “There’s good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?”
“Good news,” Xuan Yu replied.
The other four beast husbands accepted his choice without objection.
Pei Wenye sat down across from them. After whetting his rivals’ appetites, he finally began, “Chen Yueli came to see our female. I told him that she was still resting, and I don’t intend to tell her about this.”
The five rivals fell silent for a moment.
Fine. That barely counted as good news.
“What’s the bad news?” Rong Jin asked.
Pei Wenye sighed. “Chen Yueli’s genetic compatibility with our female is very high. The marriage center has probably already notified her, but she hasn’t seen it because she was resting.”
“How high?” Qin Mo immediately pressed. “Don’t tell me it’s higher than yours with our female?”
If it were higher than Pei Wenye’s, then it would have to be 100%. There had never been a genetic compatibility rate that high in Federation history.
“It isn’t that high.”
“His genetic compatibility with our female is 99%.”
The five rivals: “…”
With such a high compatibility rate, the Federation Marriage Center would definitely notify Lady Yunyang. They might even have sent the notice last night.
In other words, if Lady Yunyang was satisfied with Chen Yueli, they would soon be welcoming a new rival.
The living room fell into an eerie silence.
If they had a choice, of course none of them wanted another rival to share their female’s affection. But that was clearly impossible.
Fortunately, their female had been enthusiastic about choosing her partners lately, so everyone had an equal opportunity.
That was what they told themselves, but all six beast husbands inevitably felt a little jealous.
Still, managing their emotions was their own responsibility. None of them allowed those feelings to affect them. They continued doing whatever needed to be done—working on improving their abilities or preparing lunch.
Yunyang didn’t wake up until noon, when she finally saw the message from the Federation Marriage Center.
[Federation Marriage Center: Esteemed Lady Yunyang, male Chen Yueli has applied to become your beast husband. Would you like to enter into a match with him?]
Attached was Chen Yueli’s profile—
Name: Chen Yueli
Age: 25
Height: 195 cm
Beast form: Black panther
Ability: Cloning
Ability level: SS
Occupation: Spacecraft-route planner
Genetic compatibility: 99%
Such a high compatibility rate?
Yunyang was a little surprised. She had heard that the higher the genetic compatibility, the stronger the attraction between a female and a male.
No wonder Chen Yueli had chased her all the way to Planet X92 after she had merely purified his contamination once.
Yunyang looked at the photo attached to his profile again and immediately stopped hesitating. She sent her reply to the marriage center.
He was handsome, had a good physique, and possessed the ability to create clones. She might as well take him in.
If Chen Yueli had any qualities she couldn’t accept, she could always divorce him. After all, in the Federation, the authority to initiate a marriage had always belonged to the females.
After replying to the marriage center, Yunyang slowly dragged herself out of bed.
She washed up first, then began choosing what to wear.
Yesterday, she had told Lulu and Sister Zhiwei that she would be taking a few days off, and the two of them had invited her to visit Central Star. She hadn’t been there in a while, so she readily agreed. They arranged to meet at three in the afternoon.
After choosing her clothes, Yunyang was just about to change when her wrist computer suddenly began to vibrate softly.
She raised her hand and saw the second notification from the Federal Marriage Center.
