Yunyang and You Lu lived close to each other, so that afternoon they simply boarded the same starship to the Purification Tower.
With her best friend by her side, the twenty beast-husband companions between them had all been cast aside.
Yu Wenxu could only wear a helpless expression.
There was nothing to be done. As long as their female masters were happy, that was all that mattered.
The starship traveled for quite a while, and Yunyang and You Lu chatted the entire way. They discussed everything under the sun, whether they should or shouldn’t, completely ignoring the fact that their own beast husbands were present.
The Central Star was far larger than X92, and the Purification Tower was located far from the residential districts. Even though Yunyang and You Lu had set out an hour early, they arrived only ten minutes ahead of schedule.
Jenkins had been waiting outside the entrance with the supervisors since early morning.
The moment the starship landed, he led the others forward to greet them.
The neatly uniformed supervisors bowed in unison. “Esteemed ladies, the Purification Tower of Central Star is honored by your arrival.”
Yunyang was already used to such scenes. After exchanging a few polite remarks, she had Jenkins lead her and You Lu to the purification rooms.
Both of their rooms were on the fiftieth floor. This level had originally been prepared specifically for female assistance, so there was plenty of space.
Yunyang used her blessing ability on herself and You Lu before they went to their respective purification rooms.
When Yunyang entered, the fifty beastmen who had secured appointments were already waiting.
The moment she appeared, pairs of excited eyes turned toward her.
Her eight beast husbands immediately surrounded her, while the twenty accompanying supervisors stared straight ahead at the beastmen without so much as a sideways glance.
The beastmen had already been restrained with binding belts, limiting their movements. Yunyang calmly sat down in the chair that had been prepared for her, greeted them, and began releasing her spiritual power.
Threads of spiritual energy wrapped around the bodies of all fifty beastmen. Since there were still two individual purification appointments to handle, Yunyang held back forty percent of her spiritual power.
Even so, the results of this purification were far better than when she had previously used eighty percent of her spiritual power.
Fu Shiyi continued recording the data.
Compared with the previous session, the figures this time were clearly much better. He did not know whether it was because his female master’s ability had risen to Class C, or because her spiritual power had increased.
Perhaps it was both.
Yunyang could sense it herself. After thinking it over, she used another five percent of her spiritual power to perform a group purification.
The pollution levels of all fifty beastmen dropped significantly. Once their binding belts were removed, they opened the appointment website one after another and paid the required fee.
Only one male remained standing awkwardly before Yunyang.
“L-Lady Yunyang, may I use something else to pay the fee?”
Yunyang had never set a fee herself. She helped these beastmen purify their pollution to increase her own strength, so she did not care much about payment.
After all, to her now, federal credits were nothing more than a string of numbers.
But Lin Ruibo did not know about her circumstances. He felt that he could not let her work for nothing, especially since Lao Wei had stipulated that the payment could not be less than two hundred thousand federal credits.
Most males who qualified for an appointment could afford that amount.
Still, there were always a few who truly could not pay. In such cases, they were allowed to use other things as compensation.
Yunyang nodded. “That’s fine.”
Lin Ruibo stepped forward and handed a spatial button to Fuyuan, who was standing nearest to him.
“Lady Yunyang, please take a look. Is this enough?”
His voice was a little anxious.
It sounded ridiculous when put into words, but although his species possessed the innate ability to find treasures, they could never hold on to federal credits.
Lin Ruibo had refused to believe it at first. He had tried selling those treasures for federal credits, but whenever the amount he possessed exceeded one hundred thousand, all sorts of accidents would occur.
For example, something in his home would suddenly break for no reason, or the suppressants he had carefully stockpiled would unexpectedly run out…
After experiencing it so many times, Lin Ruibo had given up struggling. He no longer saved federal credits and simply stored treasures instead.
The spatial button was filled with the treasures he had accumulated. But Lady Yunyang was an S-class female—she might not even consider them valuable.
With Lin Ruibo watching nervously, Yunyang accepted the spatial button and opened it, giving the contents a casual glance.
Just one look was enough to nearly blind her with the mountains of glittering treasures inside.
Yunyang sucked in a breath. Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she asked, “Are you a koi beastman?”
Lin Ruibo nodded sheepishly.
So he really was.
No wonder he couldn’t come up with two hundred thousand federal credits.
One of her mother’s beast husbands was a koi as well, so she had experienced the peculiarities of the koi clan long ago.
“There’s far too much here. I’ll pick out part of it, and you can take the rest back.”
If the contents of the spatial button were sold, they could fetch far more than two hundred thousand federal credits. Two million might not even be difficult to gather.
Lin Ruibo shook his head. “Please take it all, Lady Yunyang. Thank you for purifying me. If it weren’t for you, I would have been placed under supervision.”
The koi clan had no shortage of treasures.
Since he had put it that way, Yunyang stopped refusing. After accepting the spatial button, she turned to the beast husband beside her.
“Fuyuan, add him on your communicator.”
Fuyuan did as she asked, and the two soon exchanged contact information.
Yunyang continued, “If your pollution level gets too high in the future, you can tell Fuyuan directly. I’ll reserve a purification appointment for you.”
As for why she had chosen Fuyuan, Yunyang’s reasoning was simple: Fuyuan and this koi beastman were both aquatic species.
The good news struck Lin Ruibo so hard that he was stunned.
Did this mean he would never again have to worry about his pollution level becoming too high and being placed under supervision?
Lin Ruibo was practically delirious with joy. The other males looked at him with envy and jealousy, wishing they were koi beastmen too.
They wanted the same treatment.
Yunyang paid no attention to their thoughts. She had the supervisors escort the fifty beastmen out and bring in the males who had reserved individual purification appointments.
The two males who had reserved individual appointments that day were both SS-class ability users.
With Fuyuan helping her recover, Yunyang did not rest midway. She completed both purifications in one uninterrupted effort.
Afterward, only seven percent of her spiritual power remained.
Yunyang had not depleted her spiritual power to this extent in a long time. The sensation was deeply unpleasant.
She collapsed into Fuyuan’s arms. “Take me to the lounge.”
Fuyuan immediately lifted her into his arms and carried her away, continuously helping her restore her spiritual power.
The lounge prepared for females was also on this floor. Once they entered, Fuyuan took the initiative to open his mental landscape.
The other beast husbands silently stood guard outside. At that moment, nothing was more important than helping their female master recover her spiritual power.
Yunyang released her spiritual power into Fuyuan’s mental landscape.
His spiritual form immediately sought her out. She eagerly kissed him.
The feeling of having overdrawn her spiritual power was truly unbearable. In order to recover as quickly as possible, Yunyang was especially proactive that day.
Fuyuan nearly lost control of himself.
He still remembered that they were outside. Even though he had not had his fill, he ended things ahead of time once Yunyang had recovered most of her spiritual power.
By then, more than an hour had passed since Yunyang entered the lounge.
After withdrawing from Fuyuan’s mental landscape, Yunyang sent You Lu a message.
You Lu did not reply, and Yunyang understood. She waited in the lounge with her eight beast husbands.
Since there was nothing else to do, Yunyang took out the payment Lin Ruibo had given her and began sorting through it.
