“Of course not. I was just settling into the new house and didn’t notice the new messages.”
The beastmen had been making quite a racket while moving the furniture, so Yunyang hadn’t noticed whether anyone had messaged her.
She pulled You Lu down onto the sofa. “Lulu, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to eat with us?”
“Not yet.” You Lu didn’t stand on ceremony. “Then I’ll have my beastmen come over and help.”
Yunyang thought for a moment before suggesting, “How about barbecue tonight?”
The last time she’d had barbecue, she had promised to invite Lulu and Sister Zhiwei the next time she got the chance. There were quite a few people here today, and making a proper dinner would take a fair amount of work. Barbecue would be much more convenient.
“Sounds good! What do we need to prepare? I’ll have Wen Xu and the others go home and get it!”
You Lu had eaten barbecue before, but the barbecue beastmen were accustomed to consisted of large chunks of meat sprinkled with salt and roasted until done. She had never tried those delicate little skewers.
“I have everything we need here. Just have them help prepare the ingredients.”
Yunyang informed her own beastmen, and dinner was temporarily changed to barbecue.
The dishes that had already been prepared could be stored in the preservation compartment of a space button without spoiling, so the beastmen promptly put away the ingredients originally intended for dinner and took out ingredients more suitable for grilling.
While the ingredients were being prepared in the kitchen, Yunyang called two of her beastmen over to move the barbecue grill she had bought online outside.
Barbecue was best enjoyed outdoors.
There was no need for either of the two females to worry about preparing the ingredients. While the beastmen were still busy, You Lu took out the package she had previously signed for on Yunyang’s behalf.
“Yangyang, is this your package?”
Yunyang scanned the package information and nodded. “This is it. Thank you, Lulu.”
With that, she opened the package. Besides the miniature robot she loved most, there were actually two other items inside.
One was a vase woven from vines, and the other was a lifelike butterfly carved from sea-blue ore.
These two items might not be as useful as the miniature robot, but their designs were impossible to find anywhere on the interstellar internet.
Yunyang was a little surprised. Leonardo happened to be setting up chairs nearby, so she waved him over. “Leon, come here for a moment.”
Leonardo immediately put down the chair in his hands. After coming over, he bent down to look at her.
“Female master, what do you need?”
Yunyang wanted to ask whether Leonardo had won anything else, but then she remembered that the little fox wasn’t very familiar with this sort of thing. She simply said, “Turn on your photonic computer.”
“Okay.”
Leonardo turned on his photonic computer as quickly as possible, afraid that being even a moment too slow might delay whatever Yunyang wanted to do.
As for what Yunyang wanted to use his photonic computer for, Leonardo wasn’t curious, nor did he particularly care.
He belonged to his female master. She could use his photonic computer for anything she wanted.
Yunyang operated the light screen in front of her and opened the interstellar internet using Leonardo’s account. It didn’t take long for her to find the female’s livestream in his viewing history.
Leonardo didn’t seem to like browsing the interstellar internet very much. There were only a few days’ worth of viewing records, so it was easy to find.
The female wasn’t livestreaming at the moment, but the lottery links from her previous livestream were still posted on her profile.
Yunyang clicked on one and, sure enough, discovered that Leonardo had entered every lottery—and had won three items.
She wanted to laugh, but somehow couldn’t.
That female had offered only ten items in total, and her little fox had won three of them.
Three out of ten didn’t sound all that impressive, but Yunyang remembered that each item had attracted at least a hundred thousand participants.
The number of beastmen in the Federation was far greater than one might imagine. A female’s livestream already came with its own traffic, not to mention that she had organized a lottery with no conditions for entry.
To win three items in competition with so many people, Leonardo shouldn’t have been a nine-tailed fox. He should have been a lucky koi fish!
Yunyang closed the light screen and reached out to grab Leonardo by the clothes.
Without getting up, she simply pulled him closer and rewarded him with a kiss.
“Leon, you’re really lucky.”
Her beastman was lucky, and when you rounded things up, that meant she was lucky too.
How could that not be a happy piece of good news?
Leonardo had no idea why Yunyang had said that, but he liked being kissed by his female master.
“Female master, is there anything else?”
“No, you can go back to what you were doing.”
Yunyang waved him off, put the vine-woven vase and lifelike butterfly into her space button, and began examining the miniature robot.
“What a beautiful robot.” You Lu was interested as well and leaned close to Yunyang to watch her tinker with it.
Yunyang first called over her household robot steward and had it scan the item. Although it had been sent by a female, it was still better to be cautious with a modified robot.
It never hurt to guard against the unexpected~
Besides, even if safety wasn’t a concern, she still needed the robot steward to determine whether the miniature robot had been damaged.
Butler Two quickly carried out a comprehensive scan of the miniature robot.
“Inspection complete.”
“JQ-W181 model robot. Modified. Functions intact. No potential hazards detected. Requesting connection to the intelligent system.”
Connecting to the intelligent system meant linking the miniature robot’s system with the systems of the other robots in the house, allowing them to coordinate their actions and carry out commands together.
Clearly, Butler Two had already decided to treat the miniature robot as Butler Four.
Yunyang liked the miniature robot entirely because of its appearance. She hadn’t really thought of a use for it, so she simply approved Butler Two’s request.
Once permission was granted, Butler Two pressed the miniature robot’s power button.
Two pairs of electronic eyes—one large and one small—met just like that.
Soon, the system connection was complete. The miniature robot spread its wings and began flying circles around Yunyang.
The blue morpho butterfly was one of the most beautiful butterflies in existence, and the miniature robot had achieved a ninety-nine percent resemblance. In flight, it looked no different from a real butterfly.
Yunyang and You Lu spent a while teasing the newly appointed Butler Four. By then, their beastmen had nearly finished preparing the ingredients.
They started by grilling the meats that didn’t need to be marinated.
With their previous experience, Qin Mo and the others handled the grilling with practiced ease.
You Lu’s beastmen could all cook as well. Even though they had never grilled such small pieces of meat before, they were able to follow the example and roast them successfully.
This time, without Yunyang having to say a word, several of the beastmen specially grilled her portion until it was extra crisp.
Eating barbecue, chatting with her close friend about utterly unimportant topics, and having handsome men to admire—life was simply too pleasant.
After eating and drinking her fill, You Lu contentedly slumped back in her chair.
“Yangyang, come have barbecue at my place next time~” She was starting to really enjoy this activity.
Yunyang smiled and agreed.
After resting for a while, You Lu finally brought up the matter she had come to discuss. “Yangyang, do I need to provide anything for that official website?”
She was referring to the official website for reserving purification slots.
Yunyang had previously asked Lao Wei to add You Lu to the list, but because she wasn’t sure how much purification You Lu wanted, she hadn’t asked Lao Wei to open any slots for her.
No one could force a female to undergo purification—not even another female.
Now that You Lu had brought it up, Yunyang followed up with a question. “Lulu, when would you like to undergo purification? Do you want to purify yourself, or do it as a group?”
