"Female master, I'll go take care of that first."
Qin Mo said as he quickly got off the bed, escaping into the bathroom as if his life depended on it.
What that "taking care of" meant went without saying.
Watching the male's flustered retreat, Yunyang laughed uncontrollably.
Hearing her laughter, Qin Mo's ears reddened as he took care of things as fast as he could, carefully washing away the scent on his body, then carried Yunyang out of the room.
Downstairs, Xuan Yu sat on the sofa, seeming to be dealing with something on his light screen.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up, first glancing at Qin Mo with little emotion, then turning to gaze at Yunyang in his arms with tenderness.
"Female master, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?" Xuan Yu said as he walked over, reaching out to take Yunyang from Qin Mo's arms. "The food is already prepared and kept warm on the dining table. Let me carry you over."
Qin Mo shifted to the side with Yunyang still in his arms. "You've worked hard cooking. I'll carry the female master over myself."
Xuan Yu didn't pay his words any mind, only looking at Yunyang.
Qin Mo tried to walk around him, but was blocked at every turn.
"Xuan Yu, I am also the female master's beast husband!"
"But as the female master's beast husband, I also have the right to serve her, don't I?"
Watching her two beast husbands at odds with each other, Yunyang patted Qin Mo's hand and got down from his arms by herself.
Then, walking around both beast husbands, she made her way quickly to the dining table.
Looking at his now empty arms, Qin Mo shot Xuan Yu a fierce glare.
It was all this wolf cub's fault!
Xuan Yu pretended not to see it and turned to follow Yunyang.
Qin Mo was furious, but had no choice but to follow as well.
The food had been cooked at noon, covered with a special freshness-preserving lid, and placed on the dining table with the warming mode on, so it tasted no different from when it first came out of the pan.
Yunyang went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then eagerly lifted the freshness-preserving lid.
Instantly, all kinds of aromas from the dishes and meats rushed right into her nose, making her even hungrier.
"Xuan Yu, you're the best at cooking, hands down." Yunyang gave Xuan Yu a thumbs up, then picked up her chopsticks and dug in.
On this matter, Qin Mo didn't argue with Xuan Yu.
He admitted that his own cooking couldn't match this wolf cub's.
Besides, the wolf cub never played favorites in this regard — he made a portion for Qin Mo every meal. Qin Mo couldn't belittle the wolf cub's cooking just to compete for affection.
"I'm glad the female master likes it."
Xuan Yu, having received recognition, broke into a smile and placed a piece of steaming squirrel-shaped mandarin fish into Yunyang's bowl.
Qin Mo likewise put a piece of stir-fried pork with peppers in as well.
On this matter, the two beast husbands started their silent rivalry again.
Yunyang pretended not to notice, keeping her head down and eating, embracing the principle of accepting whatever came her way.
Cleanup duty was naturally left to the robot butler.
Yunyang then took her two beast husbands out for a post-meal stroll.
They hadn't walked long when Xuan Yu said, "Female master, I've taken on a commission. I need to go out tonight."
Yunyang already knew he was a bounty hunter. Unlike Qin Mo's profession, this one had no such thing as marriage leave — it all depended on whether Xuan Yu was willing to take on jobs.
So, she nodded readily. "Go ahead, stay safe."
That her female master didn't press for details about the commission surprised Xuan Yu a little, in a good way.
Out of professional ethics, he didn't reveal the client's identity to her. Instead, he simply opened his light brain and quietly transferred all his assets to Yunyang.
Earlier this morning, he'd seen it — without the payments from Min Shi and Gong Yanfeng, his female master couldn't even scrape together five hundred thousand federal credits.
For a female, his female master's assets could be described as pitifully little.
Xuan Yu had intended to transfer his assets to Yunyang then, but Yunyang had fallen unconscious right after leaving the Purification Tower, and he wasn't the type to do things quietly behind someone's back, so he'd delayed it until now.
Because the two of them were matched through the Federal Marriage Center, they were already considered one in the eyes of federal law, so the asset transfer process was extremely simple.
One minute later, Yunyang received a notification.
She opened the message and, before she even saw the name of the transferor, was blinded by the string of staggering digits.
One, ten, hundred...
Hundred thousand, million, ten million...
Billion!!!
What had happened?
How was she suddenly a billionaire?
Yunyang instinctively searched for the keywords in the message and realized all these federal credits had been transferred to her by Xuan Yu.
Bounty hunting paid this well?
No wait — she was focusing on the wrong thing.
Yunyang turned to look at Xuan Yu. "Xuan Yu, why did you transfer so much money to me?"
Xuan Yu smiled gently. "Female master, everything I have is yours. This was supposed to be part of my dowry, but I simply overlooked it before and forgot."
So she'd hit the jackpot?
Marrying a beast husband and becoming a billionaire just like that — the feeling was absolutely incredible.
Yunyang didn't decline. She accepted it graciously and beckoned Xuan Yu. "Xuan Yu, lean down."
Xuan Yu obediently leaned down, looking at her with slight curiosity.
Yunyang leaned up and, as a reward, gave him a kiss.
Qin Mo: !
He quickly opened his light brain and transferred all his assets to Yunyang as well, then looked at her expectantly.
Yunyang: "..."
Another staggering fortune.
To be fair, she gave Qin Mo a kiss too.
Even though it was only on the cheek, both beast husbands were overjoyed.
After the stroll, Xuan Yu headed out, while Yunyang sat down on the sofa to examine her ability.
Her earlier guess had been right — today she'd purified two S-class males, which had successfully boosted her ability a bit more.
At this rate, she had a chance of reaching S-class ability.
She just wondered how much stronger her ability's effects would become by then.
Yunyang rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
At that moment, the butler who had left earlier walked over, holding a small package. "Master, there's a delivery for you."
Delivery?
Could it be from her parents?
Yunyang took the package and opened it, finding a spatial buckle inside.
And inside the spatial buckle —
Densely packed low-level bug cores!
Remembering what Qin Mo had said yesterday, Yunyang turned around. "Qin Mo, are these the bug cores you exchanged?"
Her parents didn't know about her ability yet, so it couldn't be from them.
"Yes," Qin Mo admitted with a nod. "These, along with what Xuan Yu gave you, should be enough to raise your ability to E-class, or even D-class."
"Thank you!"
Yunyang rewarded him with another kiss, then hugged the bug cores and began absorbing them.
At her current absorption speed, the bug cores from her two beast husbands would likely take over a month to finish. She needed to hurry.
Oh, right — tomorrow she also needed to go to the Purification Tower. That was a great place to boost her ability.
Yunyang set down the bug cores and contacted Lao Wei to arrange the males to be purified tomorrow, this time scheduling the purification for the afternoon.
Lao Wei certainly wasn't going to have any objections. As long as Yunyang was willing to come to the Purification Tower, he was already more grateful than words could express.
Afternoon? Even if Her Distinguished Excellency wanted to come late at night, he'd welcome it with open arms!
After reading through Lao Wei's reply, Yunyang continued absorbing the bug cores.
Feeling the energy within the bug cores transforming into her own ability, Yunyang found herself truly getting lost in it.
As evening deepened, Qin Mo watched his female master, still completely absorbed in absorbing bug cores, and helplessly reached out to embrace her.
"Female master, are you not going to make good on what you said this afternoon?"
