The interstellar koi were different from the freshwater fish Yunyang was familiar with. They did not live in rivers or lakes, but in the sea, just like the merfolk.
That was why all the treasures Lin Ruibo had collected could only be found beneath the ocean.
There were ores and rare metals unique to the sea, along with a few things Yunyang couldn’t identify but that looked extremely valuable at a glance.
Yunyang took out several more spatial buttons and sorted the treasures into them.
She planned to give the ores and rare metals to Fu Shiyi. They were useless to her, and Fu Shiyi would be better off using them to tinker with combat mechas.
After transferring the rare metals into another spatial button, she moved on to the ores.
There were far more ores than anything else, and Yunyang spent quite some time sorting through them without managing to finish. However, she did discover a particularly familiar-looking piece of ore.
She took it out and scanned it with her optical computer. The next moment, she shot to her feet in excitement.
This was a Tide Spirit Amber!
The last piece of Tide Spirit Amber she had absorbed had greatly increased the rate at which her mental power and supernatural ability grew. If she absorbed another piece, her mental power might advance directly to the SS rank.
As expected of a koi—the creature even possessed something this precious.
Leonardo and Chen Yueli had never seen Tide Spirit Amber before, but the other six beastmen husbands knew that it was beneficial to their female mate.
However, they also remembered the few days Yunyang had spent unconscious with a fever, and for a moment, they didn’t know whether they should be happy or worried.
Yunyang didn’t care whether she would develop a fever. She hadn’t felt anything the last time, anyway.
Clutching the Tide Spirit Amber, she pulled Fuyuan over. “Fuyuan, take a picture and send it to that koi beastman. Ask him whether he has any more Tide Spirit Amber.”
There was no such thing as having too much of a good thing.
“All right.”
Fuyuan activated his optical computer and took a picture, then sent it to Lin Ruibo along with the information about the Tide Spirit Amber.
“My female mate would like to know if you have any more of this ore.”
Lin Ruibo was still aboard the flightship home. After receiving the message, he carefully examined the information about the Tide Spirit Amber, then immediately opened the several spatial buttons he carried with him and searched through them one by one.
He quickly inventoried all the treasures he possessed before replying to Fuyuan.
“I’m sorry, but I only have that one piece. If Lady Yunyang needs it, I’ll do my best to find more.”
“All right. Thank you for your trouble.”
After replying, Fuyuan shook his head under Yunyang’s expectant gaze.
“Female mate, he says he only has this one piece.”
“All right, then.”
Yunyang was a little disappointed, but she quickly consoled herself.
One should know when to be content.
Since she already had such a precious item as the Tide Spirit Amber, Yunyang transferred all the remaining ores into a new spatial button and stuffed it, along with the rare metals, into Fu Shiyi’s hands.
She sent You Lu another message. This time, You Lu didn’t reply either, but a knock sounded on the tightly closed door of the lounge.
Xuan Yu was the closest. After receiving Yunyang’s permission, he turned and opened the door.
You Lu stood outside with her twelve beastmen husbands.
“Yangyang, I’m all rested up. Let’s go home~”
Yunyang had been planning to return home and absorb the Tide Spirit Amber, so she immediately nodded and left the Purification Tower with You Lu.
The journey took more than forty minutes. By the time they returned to the villa, it was completely dark.
Rong Jin, Pei Wenye, and Chen Yueli went to prepare lunch, while the other beastmen husbands stayed by Yunyang’s side. Aside from the two newcomers, they all knew that Yunyang was about to absorb the Tide Spirit Amber.
The little person in Yunyang’s heart rubbed her hands together, as if she could already see herself advancing to the SS rank in mental power.
After Fuyuan used sound waves to activate the Tide Spirit Amber for her, Yunyang immediately began absorbing it.
At that moment, five-colored light began to flow through the Tide Spirit Amber. This was a sign that it had been activated.
Once all the energy inside was absorbed, the Tide Spirit Amber would turn back into an ordinary black stone.
However, after trying several times, Yunyang still failed to absorb it.
She stared at the Tide Spirit Amber in her hand and tried several more times, unwilling to give up. Then she looked toward Fuyuan.
“Fuyuan, I think I can’t absorb this piece of Tide Spirit Amber…” Yunyang said gloomily.
Fuyuan took the Tide Spirit Amber she handed him and examined it, confirming that it had never been absorbed before.
He was just as confused and could only guess, “Female mate, perhaps a female can only absorb one piece of Tide Spirit Amber?”
Yunyang nodded listlessly. “Maybe.”
There was no better explanation for now.
She took the Tide Spirit Amber back and stored it in a spatial button.
Since she couldn’t absorb it, she would save it for her mother. Perhaps it could help raise her mother’s mental power to the A rank.

Over the next few days, Yunyang and You Lu went to the Purification Tower to help every day.
After working for three or four days, the two of them unanimously decided to take a day off and visit Central Star’s shopping district.
Actually, Yunyang didn’t lack anything. She simply enjoyed the thrill of shopping without having to look at prices or check her balance.
Besides, her own beastmen husbands accompanied her and waited on her the entire time, so she didn’t have to worry about anything.
The main point was to have fun.
Yunyang and You Lu spent half a day wandering around the shopping district. Whenever they grew tired, they would sit down at a nearby dessert shop or beverage shop for a while. They didn’t call it a day until nightfall.
Since they were already out, Yunyang didn’t want to put her beastmen husbands through the trouble of cooking. After discussing it with You Lu, the two groups headed together to Moonrail Food Pavilion.
The male greeter outside Moonrail Food Pavilion still had his furry ears and tail on display.
Yunyang kept her gaze straight ahead and followed them inside.
She was still deciding where they should sit when she heard a somewhat familiar voice.
“Yangyang?”
Following behind his female mate, Yun Zhanming looked at her in pleasant surprise.
Although he knew that his sister had also moved to Central Star, he hadn’t expected to run into her that day.
It had been a long time since he had seen his sister.
Yunyang looked at the male who had called out to her and quickly recognized him.
“Brother Zhanming.”
Yun Zhanming smiled at her, then turned to introduce the female beside him.
“Female mate, this is my younger sister, Yangyang.”
The woman had long golden hair. Yunyang remembered her—she was Yun Zhanming’s female mate, Adaina.
She greeted Adaina as well.
“Lady Yunyang, Lord Yulu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Adaina pinched the hem of her skirt and dipped into a curtsy.
She wore a bright, radiant smile that was highly infectious.
Yunyang had been hungry after shopping all afternoon, so after greeting Adaina, she planned to go eat.
But just as she lifted her foot to leave, another face suddenly surfaced in her mind.
She stopped and stared at Adaina’s dazzling golden hair. Then, uncertainly, she asked, “Forgive me for asking, but does Sister-in-law Adaina have an older or younger sister?”
In the Federation, females were extremely difficult to produce, making such a possibility nearly nonexistent.
But after asking the question, Yunyang found herself increasingly certain that Adaina looked remarkably similar to another female she had seen.
Adaina’s reaction confirmed it. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she suddenly stepped forward and seized Yunyang’s hand.
“Yangyang, you’ve seen my sister?!”
She was so agitated that she had completely forgotten all about proper etiquette.
“My sister’s name is Camilla Lawrence. I haven’t heard from her in a very long time. Yangyang, can you tell me where you saw Camilla?”
