Although Weizhuo reacted immediately, his supernatural ability was only Grade A, so there was no way he could escape the hurricane’s lock-on.
At some point, the window that had originally been tightly shut had been opened. Weizhuo was swept away by the hurricane and carried to the open ground outside his residence.
Once the wind dispersed, he fell straight from midair to the ground.
Weizhuo had no time to rub his aching backside. He immediately scrambled to his feet, activated his ability, and warily surveyed his surroundings.
“Who’s there?!”
The moment he spoke, a synthetic leaf that had flown in from who-knows-where slapped him across the face.
Federation-made synthetic leaves were huge too, and one covered Weizhuo’s entire face.
He raised a hand to pull it off, only to be punched in the face by someone.
The fist landed squarely on the bridge of his nose with tremendous force.
Weizhuo felt warmth spread beneath his nose.
Unable to hold back, he demanded again, “Who are you?!”
His answer was another heavy punch to the face.
Every time Weizhuo asked a question, the other person answered with a punch, deliberately aiming for his face.
He tried to fight back as well, but in front of an esper whose level was far higher than his own, his counterattacks could not even touch the other party.
Before long, Weizhuo simply gave up.
He could tell that the other person did not intend to kill him and was probably just venting their anger.
The one-sided beating continued for over half an hour before the attacker finally stopped, seemingly satisfied.
By then, Weizhuo’s entire face had swollen. Even his mother, Wei Yashi, might not have recognized him.
The synthetic leaf on his face could no longer cover it and drifted lightly to the ground.
Clutching his nose, Weizhuo tried to see who had attacked him, but the area around him was completely empty. There was not a single person in sight.
Even without seeing them, he could guess who it was. It had to be one of Yunyang’s beast husbands, jealous of him.
Once Yunyang forgave him, he would definitely make her divorce all of them!
Thinking viciously, Weizhuo headed back toward his residence.
However, before he reached the door, a vine suddenly wrapped around his leg from out of nowhere.
The next second, he was caught off guard and yanked back to the open ground. He was hoisted into the air.
The vine wrapped him up like a dumpling, leaving only his nose exposed.
Looking at Weizhuo’s visibly swollen nose, the newcomer’s eyes flashed with confusion. Had someone beaten him to it?
Forget it. Who cared?
Without giving it much thought, the newcomer treated the hanging Weizhuo like a punching bag and began pounding him, fist after fist.
Every blow landed with a meaty thud. Just listening to it made the pain feel real.
The vines had also wrapped around Weizhuo’s mouth. This time, he could not even ask who was attacking him and could only passively endure the beating.
Another half hour passed. The vine around his neck was withdrawn, and he felt a sharp sting. Immediately afterward, something cold was injected into his body.
Weizhuo’s eyes widened in terror.
What kind of drug was this?
What did this person want to do?!
As Weizhuo panicked, the vines around his body unwound one coil at a time, and he fell to the ground again.
He no longer had the strength to get back up. All he could do was repeatedly guess what kind of drug had just been injected into him.
The Federation had many different medicines. The most vicious of them all was the gene-destroying agent, but that drug could only be used by females and required a female’s mental power to activate.
However, besides the gene-destroying agent, there were many other drugs capable of causing unbearable pain.
Fortunately, Weizhuo’s question was soon answered.
He could clearly feel the pain throughout his body lessen considerably, and the bleeding from his nose stopped as well.
Had that person injected him with a healing agent?
What the hell was wrong with them?!
They had beaten him senseless and then treated him afterward. What was the point?
Weizhuo could not understand it. Once his injuries had recovered somewhat, he climbed to his feet again and headed toward his residence.
This time, he walked very quickly, afraid that he would run into someone else if he was even a moment too slow.
But this time, he was blindfolded right outside his own door.
Weizhuo welcomed the third beating of the night.
After discovering that someone had already beaten Weizhuo before them, the attacker injected him with another healing agent before starting.
As Weizhuo endured the heavy fists raining down on him, he could also feel the healing agent gradually taking effect.
The sensation drove him nearly insane.
Were these people ever going to stop?!
Because he had already endured three beatings, Weizhuo passed out cold after half an hour.
Afraid he was only pretending, the attacker kicked him several more times. Only after confirming that he was truly unconscious did they finally stop.
“Not very tough, are you?”
After saying that, the attacker yanked the sack off Weizhuo’s head and drenched him with freezing water.
Weizhuo’s clothes were soaked through. When the cold wind blew over him, he shuddered and woke up.
Looking at his front door just inches away, he nervously reached out several times to test the area. Only after confirming that no one else was coming did he quickly open the door.
When the door opened, Weizhuo’s eyes lit up, and he was just about to step inside.
But he could not lift his foot.
His foot had been frozen in place.
The familiar sack was pulled over his head. Weizhuo completely gave up and closed his eyes, letting the other person beat him as they pleased.
Another half hour of beating passed.
Surely this had to be over now, right?
Weizhuo thought miserably. But it was not over yet.
The fifth person’s fist was hard as metal. With a single punch, Weizhuo felt as though his bones had broken.
The sixth and seventh attackers appeared together. The sixth person injected him with another healing agent, so he could not even pass out. All he could do was passively endure the double beating.
The eighth person used a sack that was better than the ones before it—cool, light, and breathable. He had no idea what material it was made from.
The ninth person was the most excessive of all. Not only did they beat him, they also burned off all his hair and eyebrows.
It was as though these people had reached an unspoken agreement. Every time they finished beating him, they never forgot to inject him with a healing agent.
But although the healing agent could stop the pain and heal his injuries, it could not make his hair and eyebrows grow back. For some time to come, he would have to wear a wig and fake eyebrows.
Weizhuo was furious.
Nine!
Didn’t Yunyang have only eight beast husbands? Why had nine people beaten him on the same night?
Weizhuo could not figure it out. By the time the last person finished, dawn had already broken. He lay on the ground outside his home and suddenly felt that the news his father had given him the previous night was not so bad after all.
At least if he went to a frontier planet, he would not be beaten senseless by beastmen.
Meanwhile, at Yunyang’s villa, the eight beast husbands had gathered in the living room early that morning.
The other seven had come downstairs, while Rong Jin was the only one who had entered from outside.
The other seven beast husbands could guess what Rong Jin had gone to do, but they tacitly chose not to mention it. Instead, they divided up the tasks for preparing breakfast.
There were several more people in the household now. If only two people prepared the meal, it would definitely take too long, so breakfast was prepared by Qin Mo, Rong Jin, and the newly arrived Chen Yueli.
Yunyang had gotten up unusually early.
After washing up and coming downstairs, she found that the three beast husbands still had not finished preparing breakfast.
Fu Shiyi led her to the sofa and helped her sit down. “Female Master, breakfast will take a little longer. Would you like something else to eat first?”
Yunyang shook her head and curled up on the sofa.
She lazily looked at the five beast husbands gathering around her and soon noticed that the knuckles of several of them were noticeably redder than usual.
