This time, Yunyang was using her own photobrain to watch a movie.
As a result, all nine of her beast husbands saw the notification.
Yunyang made no attempt to hide it. After pausing the movie, she casually opened Cang Zhuonian’s profile.
Name: Cang Zhuonian
Age: 27
Height: 195 cm
Beast Form: Qilin
Ability: Area-of-effect group defense
Ability Level: SSS
Occupation: Federal Military
Genetic Compatibility: 99.5%
At first, several of the beast husbands perked up when they saw Cang Zhuonian’s age.
Twenty-seven! Other than Fuyuan, Cang Zhuonian was the oldest of them all!
But they wilted almost immediately.
Why did this damn qilin have such a high genetic compatibility with their Mistress?
99.5%—second only to Pei Wenye!!!
Only Cang Zhuonian himself looked proud. He even asked deliberately, “Mistress, am I the youngest?”
He might not have the highest genetic compatibility, but he was definitely the youngest!
Yunyang: “…”
Where did this child get his confidence?
She really couldn’t bear to dash Cang Zhuonian’s hopes, but she still answered truthfully, “You’re the oldest.”
Fuyuan didn’t count. Even his genes had mutated, so his age couldn’t be calculated using ordinary human standards.
Cang Zhuonian’s eyes widened. He looked at Fu Shiyi, who wore glasses all day, then at Pei Wenye and Chen Yueli. For a moment, he fell into deep self-doubt.
He was the oldest? He was actually the oldest?!
Oh no. Would Mistress despise him?
Yunyang looked at Cang Zhuonian’s dejected expression with amusement. She had no intention of comforting him, nor did she immediately respond to the Marriage Center’s message.
Instead, she resumed the movie.
The sound started playing again. Afraid of disturbing Yunyang’s enjoyment, Cang Zhuonian didn’t dare ask whether she would dislike him. He could only gaze at her with wide, anxious eyes.
Yunyang appeared to be completely absorbed in the movie, but inwardly, she was feeling rather puzzled.
The golden-winged roc, the jiao, and the qilin were all creatures that existed only in the myths and legends of Earth. Yet her compatibility with Fu Shiyi was 97%, Cang Zhuonian’s was 99.5%, and Pei Wenye’s was even higher at 99.9%.
Could this be a coincidence?
Yunyang wasn’t sure. After all, there was also Chen Yueli, whose compatibility with her was 99%.
She didn’t know whom she could discuss these matters with, so she could only let her thoughts wander while continuing to watch the movie.
It was the most popular war film in the Federation. Yunyang had little interest in it, but just as the movie was nearing its end, she suddenly jolted upright.
So excited that she forgot to pause the movie, she grabbed the beast husband nearest to her and asked, “Where is this planet?!”
She couldn’t be mistaken. This had to be Earth!
Chen Yueli, whose hand she had grabbed, felt a small surge of excitement. He stared at the image on the light screen.
He was extremely familiar with all the planets within the Federation’s star region, so it didn’t take him long to provide an answer. “Mistress, this is the desolate planet H2978, near the edge of T06.”
H2978.
For some reason, Yunyang found those four numbers strangely familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen them before.
Never mind. It wasn’t important.
“I want to visit that desolate planet. Is that all right?”
“Mistress, I’m afraid that won’t be possible anytime soon,” Qin Mo said. “The insectoids have been attacking the Federation frequently lately. We still haven’t finished investigating what happened today, and it wouldn’t be safe to go there now.”
Yunyang gradually calmed down.
She knew Qin Mo was telling the truth. “All right, then. Once everything is settled, we’ll go there.”
“Of course. When the time comes, I’ll apply for a security detail to accompany you.”
Aside from the security detail, all nine of them would certainly be going with their Mistress as well.
By then, the movie had finished completely. Yunyang shut off the light screen and stood up to stretch her arms and legs.
“Cang Zhuonian, open your mental landscape.”
The qilin was still mourning the fact that he was the oldest of the beast husbands. When he heard this, he looked at Yunyang blankly, but obediently opened his mental landscape anyway.
Only after Yunyang’s mental power entered his mental landscape did Cang Zhuonian blink several times.
Could Mistress be about to… with him again?
All eight of his rivals were here. This didn’t seem appropriate, did it?
Cang Zhuonian’s ears flushed red. Although he told himself that this probably wasn’t a good idea, he made no attempt to stop Yunyang.
Seeing him like this, Xuan Yu couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
What a poser!
Cang Zhuonian waited in high spirits, only to find that Yunyang was merely helping him purify his contamination again. His spiritual form showed no sign of transforming.
All right, so he had been overthinking things.
Cang Zhuonian’s contamination level had already fallen to 78. Once the level dropped below 90, purification became somewhat easier. This time, Yunyang used only 70% of her mental power to lower Cang Zhuonian’s contamination level to 64.
She promptly withdrew her mental power. “All done. I’m going back to my room to rest.”
After rushing around all day, Yunyang was exhausted. She took a quick shower after returning to her room and went straight to sleep.
The next day, she couldn’t be bothered to go to the Purification Tower and simply rested for another day.
After sleeping, Yunyang’s mental power had fully recovered. Not wanting to waste it, she helped Cang Zhuonian purify himself again after breakfast, still retaining 30% of her mental power.
This level didn’t make her uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to have all nine beast husbands bring out their tokens.
Last round, Pei Wenye had been the first one selected.
Naturally, he hoped he would be chosen first again. They would all get their turn eventually, but the order still mattered.
Unfortunately, the Beast God was no longer favoring him.
The one who was happiest when the leopard token was revealed was none other than Chen Yueli.
The Beast God had answered his prayers!
Chen Yueli gazed at Yunyang with gleaming gray-green eyes, practically wishing he could skip the day and fast-forward straight to nightfall.
Of course, that was impossible.
After the token-selection ceremony ended, Yunyang curled up on the sofa, unwilling to do anything productive.
She felt that she had overexerted herself over the past two days, leaving her with no desire to work hard today. In full-on loafing mode, she spent the entire day browsing the galactic net.
By evening, her mental power had recovered to 100% once again.
Under Chen Yueli’s impatient gaze, Yunyang took her time helping Cang Zhuonian complete his final purification.
Cang Zhuonian’s contamination level had already fallen to 33. Lowering it any further would require using the “special method.”
Chen Yueli naturally wasn’t about to give Cang Zhuonian that opportunity. As soon as Yunyang finished, he took the initiative to scoop her up into his arms.
“Mistress, you’ve worked hard. Shall I help you bathe?”
“All right.”
Yunyang nestled bonelessly in Chen Yueli’s arms. Even though she had retained 30% of her mental power, she felt unusually tired at that moment.
She was a little sleepy…
Chen Yueli held her securely, making sure she didn’t feel even the slightest jolt as he carried her upstairs.
As a result, before they even reached the room, Yunyang couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer.
When he noticed that the breathing of the person in his arms had gradually evened out, the smile on Chen Yueli’s lips stiffened slightly.
Had Mistress fallen asleep?
He lowered his head to confirm it. Although he felt somewhat disappointed, he became much gentler in his movements.
He carefully helped Yunyang wash up and change into her pajamas, then carried her to the bed and lay down beside her.
“Good night, Mistress.”
Chen Yueli gave Yunyang a light kiss on the lips before closing his eyes to rest.
Yunyang slept exceptionally well that night.
The next morning, she sat up and stretched lazily. Just as she was about to get out of bed, she discovered that Chen Yueli was lying on both her left and right.
