Fuyuan was wrapped in nothing but a bath towel, and Pei Wenye immediately spotted the oddly colored scales covering his body.
From a beastman’s perspective, Pei Wenye didn’t find Fuyuan’s scales particularly strange. There were plenty of males whose beast forms were far more unusual.
He quickly shifted his gaze away from Fuyuan and looked toward Yunyang instead. Then he strode over and pulled Yunyang into his arms, staking his claim.
“Fuyuan, what are you doing in Mistress’s room?”
Mistress had chosen him tonight. There was no way this dead fish was going to steal her from him!
Fuyuan moved closer as well and hooked his little finger around Yunyang’s.
“My rut has started. Mistress gave me permission to spend tonight with you…”
Pei Wenye: !
He didn’t believe a word his rival said. Lowering his head, he gazed at Yunyang with wide, pleading eyes.
“Mistress, is that true?”
Yunyang raised a hand and rubbed his head.
“Fuyuan was taken away for human experimentation before, so his rut is a little unusual. You’ll have to put up with it this time. I’ll make him repay you next time.”
That was all the sweet talk she was willing to offer. Asking her to comfort someone gently and tenderly was impossible.
Pei Wenye glared furiously at Fuyuan.
But when he turned back to Yunyang, his expression became obedient once more.
“I’m not upset. As long as Mistress is happy.”
Yunyang was very pleased with how understanding her beast husband was. Since she had promised that Fuyuan would repay him, she wouldn’t go back on her word.
Unfortunately, she had been too optimistic.
Compared with the last time at the replica ancient botanical garden, this time was clearly much harder to handle.
Compared with an SSS-level esper, her physical stamina as a C-level esper still seemed somewhat inadequate…
·
After Fuyuan was soothed, the scales that had appeared on his body disappeared the next day.
Today was the day they were leaving for Central Star.
Before Yunyang even woke up, several of her beast husbands had already packed everything that needed to be packed. Only the things in her room remained to be sorted out.
Chen Yueli had also finished making arrangements with the flight-ship center. Once Yunyang woke up and finished lunch, the whole family could set off for Central Star.
Yunyang didn’t wake up until after two in the afternoon.
Lunch had been kept warm and fresh on the dining table. After she came downstairs, all eight of her beast husbands accompanied her to eat.
“When are we leaving, Mistress?” Chen Yueli asked. He was ready to contact the flight-ship center at any moment.
Yunyang dabbed her mouth leisurely with a napkin and glanced at the time.
“We’ll leave after we finish packing. If we wait any longer, it’ll be dark by the time we reach Central Star.”
“How about four o’clock?”
Yunyang looked at the other beast husbands.
“What do you think?”
There was still nearly an hour until four, and she had no objections. It depended on the others—
After all, her beast husbands had handled all the packing. She hadn’t lifted a finger, so she had no idea whether they had enough time.
Fu Shiyi understood immediately.
“Mistress, almost everything is packed. Only your room and the LZ047 replica ancient plants outside remain.”
“Then four o’clock it is.”
After the time was settled, Chen Yueli went to contact the flight-ship center.
The robot stewards cleaned up the dining room. Qin Mo and Xuan Yu went to pack up Yunyang’s room, while Rong Jin and Leonardo went outside to dig up the rosemary. The remaining beast husbands stayed with Yunyang as she digested her meal.
As soon as four o’clock arrived, a flight ship landed outside Residential District Three.
Yunyang boarded the flight ship with her eight beast husbands and three robot stewards. The entire family was present and accounted for.
Once the flight ship took off, Yunyang opened her photobrain. She first sent her new address to her family, then messaged You Lu and Chu Zhiwei.
After reporting her whereabouts, she sat down on a sofa in the common area of the flight ship and began absorbing insect cores.
Two hours later, the flight ship arrived at Central Star’s spaceport.
Knowing that Yunyang would be arriving today, the Female Protection Association had arranged for people to wait at the spaceport from early on.
As soon as Yunyang stepped off the flight ship, surrounded by her eight beast husbands, the association’s representatives came forward to greet her.
“Esteemed Yunyang, we’ve come to escort you to your new home.”
A medium-sized flight ship was parked behind them. It had been specially dispatched to escort Yunyang, and the emblem of the Female Protection Association was printed clearly on its hull.
Only after seeing that conspicuous emblem did Yunyang feel at ease enough to board the ship with them.
The inside of the medium-sized flight ship was much smaller than a large aircraft, but it was still fully equipped. Robots even brought over an assortment of exquisite tea and snacks.
Although the journey wasn’t far, the Female Protection Association had still done everything possible to ensure Yunyang’s comfort.
The male in charge of escorting her even asked whether she needed any special services.
Yunyang was just about to ask what he meant when the male began unbuttoning his shirt.
His broad, well-defined chest entered her view.
She understood instantly. With a slightly awkward cough, she refused him with righteous firmness.
There were far fewer females than males in the Federation. As a result, many single males didn’t care whether they had an official status. As long as they could obtain a female’s mark, that was enough.
The males arranged by the Female Protection Association were all clean, but Yunyang had no habit of seeking romance outside her household.
Besides, after last night… she wasn’t particularly interested in that sort of thing for the time being.
The male who had asked was somewhat disappointed, but under the icy stares of Yunyang’s eight beast husbands, he didn’t dare continue trying to seduce her.
The flight ship soon arrived smoothly at Yunyang’s new residential district: District 07.
Unlike the residential districts on X92 Star, each district in Central Star’s female residential area contained only one villa.
So rather than a residential district, it was more like a private estate.
You Lu’s District 06 and Chu Zhiwei’s District 05 were right next door, making it extremely convenient for them to visit one another.
By this time, Chu Zhiwei had already gone to the headquarters of the Second Legion. You Lu, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be awake yet, so Yunyang took her beast husbands and robot stewards inside to start organizing the new home.
The new home was also a five-story villa, but its grounds were three or four times larger than those of the previous one.
The layout was more or less the same as the old villa’s. After looking around, Yunyang chose the room nearest to the staircase on the second floor as her bedroom.
Once she had chosen her room, Yunyang first directed her beast husbands to plant the rosemary. Then she sent Steward One, Steward Two, and Steward Three to scan the new home.
She herself directed the beast husbands in arranging the furnishings.
Some of the eight beast husbands set up tables, while others arranged the sofas. It took them an hour to finish furnishing the first floor.
It was already nearly eight o’clock.
Xuan Yu, Fu Shiyi, and Fuyuan took the initiative to prepare dinner in the kitchen, while the other beast husbands continued arranging the remaining floors.
Yunyang had done nothing more than move her lips throughout the entire process, yet she still felt utterly exhausted. After ordering her beast husbands to finish arranging her room, she collapsed onto the bed.
The three robot stewards had already finished scanning the villa’s entire layout and connecting it to the new home’s intelligent system.
Just as Yunyang collapsed, Steward One reported, “Master, a distinguished guest has arrived~”
In the Federation, the only people who could be called “distinguished” by a robot were females.
Yunyang opened the light screen and brought up the image outside the gate. She discovered that You Lu had brought her twelve beast husbands over for a visit.
The moment she saw her best friend, Yunyang immediately perked up again and hurriedly ordered Steward One to open the gate.
As soon as the gate opened, a familiar voice rang through the villa.
“Yangyang! I’m here to warm up your new home!”
Yunyang got to her feet and went forward with several of her beast husbands to welcome them.
“I brought you a housewarming gift!”
As she spoke, You Lu casually stuffed the gift into the hands of one of Yunyang’s beast husbands, then linked arms with Yunyang.
“I messaged you, but you didn’t reply, so I brought my beast husbands over directly. We’re not disturbing you, are we?”
