“Female master~”
Chen Yueli stared at her without blinking.
Remembering how she had fallen asleep in Chen Yueli’s arms last night, Yunyang gave a light cough. “I’ll make it up to you tonight.”
At those words, the trace of grievance in Chen Yueli vanished at once.
Even so, he wrapped his tail around Yunyang’s wrist, his black panther ears trembling as he asked, “Female master, can’t we do it now?”
Yunyang glanced at the time. She had probably gone to bed too early last night, because it was only a little after six.
She had never gotten up this early before.
At this hour, the other beastmen probably hadn’t even finished making breakfast.
Since there was nothing else to do after getting up, Yunyang pinched Chen Yueli’s panther ears and rubbed his tail. Once he began to get worked up, she decisively withdrew her hand.
“That depends on your performance.”
“Your command, female master. I’ll definitely perform well.”
The black panther eagerly began to prove himself.
Yunyang had slept well the night before. After they were done, she dozed for a little over half an hour before getting up feeling refreshed.
Today, she planned to continue helping at the Purification Tower, so the first thing she did after waking was send Jenkins a message.
Jenkins replied very quickly.
【Lady Yunyang, have you had enough rest? Do you need to rest for another two days?】
Yunyang: 【I’ve rested enough. Please arrange today’s purification for me.】
Jenkins: 【Of course, Lady Yunyang.】
After replying, Jenkins immediately opened the reservation website and released today’s purification slots for Yunyang.
Although the slots had been released at a different time than usual, the fifty group-purification slots and two individual-purification slots were still snapped up in a single second.
Jenkins couldn’t help but marvel. Young people really did have fast fingers.
After leaving the matter of the purification slots to Jenkins, Yunyang shut off her light-brain and leisurely washed her face and brushed her teeth.
Once she was completely ready, she went downstairs in her loungewear.
Down in the living room, the newly arrived Cang Zhuonian had already prepared lunch together with the little fox and Little Black Leopard. They were waiting for Yunyang to taste it.
Hearing footsteps from upstairs, Rong Jin, who was sitting on the sofa, twitched his ears. He transformed into his beast form and rushed toward Yunyang before the other rivals could react.
Yunyang reached out and caught the Little Panda as he pounced at her, then gave him a vigorous rub.
The Little Panda took the initiative to expose his belly, and Yunyang naturally didn’t hold back.
She carried the Little Panda in her arms, petting him as she walked downstairs. To the other beastmen gathering around her, she said, “I’m going to the Purification Tower this afternoon.”
At those words, worry appeared on the faces of several of her beastmen.
“Female master, are you sure your body is all right?”
“I’m fine. I’ve had enough rest.” Yunyang set the Little Panda down. “Let’s not talk about that. Is the food ready? I’m hungry.”
Cang Zhuonian, who had been in charge of cooking, immediately nodded and shoved the other beastmen aside as he reached out his hand to Yunyang.
“Female master, I’ll take you to the kitchen.”
Chen Yueli refused to be outdone and reached out his hand as well.
Yunyang didn’t hesitate. She casually placed her hand in Chen Yueli’s, who was nearest to her, then went to the kitchen to wash her hands before sitting down at the dining table.
The dining table in their new home was a large round one, easily big enough to seat ten people.
Chen Yueli sat to Yunyang’s left, while Leonardo had silently seized the seat to her right. The other beastmen sat a little farther away.
With so many people in the house, meals took much longer than usual.
On top of that, they had started eating late. By the time Yunyang finished eating and digesting her food, it was nearly three o’clock.
She had arranged to meet Jenkins at three, so Yunyang decided not to bother with anything else and went back to her room to change.
Today, she wore a sharply tailored cropped jacket in a soft beige-cream shade, layered over a slightly fitted white camisole. On the bottom, she wore black high-waisted shorts paired with black platform knee-high boots.
After changing, Yunyang admired herself in the mirror for quite a while.
She had to admit, being one meter seventy tall really was an advantage. She could look cool or sweet, and she could pull off practically any style.
Once she had finished admiring herself, Yunyang quickly went downstairs and left the house with her nine beastmen.
On the way to the Purification Tower, she didn’t forget to check in on her close friend.
【Yunyang: Sister Zhiwei, how are things on your end? Have you gone home?】
【Chu Zhiwei: I just got home. I think I saw your aircraft leaving your residential area. Where are you going?】
The three of them lived quite close to one another. When Chu Zhiwei had just stepped off her own aircraft, she had spotted Yunyang’s aircraft departing from the residential district in the distance.
【Yunyang: I’m going to the Purification Tower to help out.】
【Chu Zhiwei: All right. Don’t push yourself. If you run into any beastmen you can’t purify, contact me.】
【Yunyang: Got it. Sister Zhiwei, get some good rest.】
In the group chat the three women shared, You Lu remained silent the entire time.
Yunyang glanced through the aircraft window at Residential Area 06. If nothing unexpected had happened, Lulu was probably still asleep.
Whether or not to go to the Purification Tower was a personal choice. Yunyang wasn’t going to insist that her friends come along just because she had decided to go. After finishing her conversation with Chu Zhiwei, she opened the Star Network to look at the latest trending topics.
She had been so busy these past few days that she hadn’t had much time to browse the Star Network.
Yunyang casually opened a post made by someone from a frontier planet. It contained updates on the current battle situation on T02 Frontier Planet.
As one of the frontier planets closest to the Insect Planet, T02 was not in much better shape than T01.
Although the insects’ attacks had not been as fierce as before over the past few days, an insect army still invaded every day.
The war continued without end.
The peace Central Planet enjoyed had been won by the Federation soldiers on the frontier planets, who had fought to wrest it from the insect attacks.
Looking at the horrific photographs, Yunyang felt a heaviness in her chest. She soon switched to a lighter topic instead.
There was only so much she could do, but she had at least done her part. There was no need to burden herself with unnecessary worries.
The aircraft flew at full speed toward the Purification Tower.
Yunyang browsed the Star Network for nearly an hour before finally arriving at the tower.
Outside, Jenkins was still there to greet her with a small team of supervisors.
“Welcome, Lady Yunyang.”
After giving her the customary bow, Jenkins said, “Several of the beastmen who secured group-purification slots haven’t arrived yet. They’re coming from the frontier planets, so it will take them some time. Would you like to perform individual purifications first today?”
The fastest aircraft from the frontier planets to Central Planet still took seven or eight hours.
Usually, the slots were released one day in advance for appointments the following day. Since today’s slots had been arranged at such short notice, those few people had no way to arrive on time.
Yunyang shook her head. “Let’s begin with the group purification. Once those few arrive, I’ll perform individual purifications for them.”
“Of course. Please follow me.”
Jenkins stepped aside and invited Yunyang into the Purification Tower.
Inside the familiar purification chamber, more than forty beastmen were bound tightly. Most of them were already displaying obvious signs of beast transformation.
Yunyang didn’t waste any time. She first used Blessing on herself, then extended her spiritual power to purify the contamination within the beastmen.
After expending half of her spiritual power, Yunyang stopped.
Standing behind her, Fu Shiyi could clearly see the real-time contamination levels of every beastman.
This time, he didn’t even need to compare the figures with the data he had recorded before. He could tell at a glance that the readings were far more extreme than any of the previous ones.
