Could it be that she still had an insect core she hadn’t absorbed?
At that thought, Yunyang immediately opened the spatial link she used most often. Before long, she found the insect core covered in cracks.
The gazes of all nine beast husbands fell on the insect core in her hand. They recognized it at a glance.
“Female Lord, is that the Insect Queen’s core?”
Yunyang nodded. Speaking of it, she had to thank the little fox. Otherwise, the core might well have been lost in the chaos.
She would reward the little fox later.
Yunyang did not say that aloud. After her previous experience absorbing the Xiling Amber, she wasn’t sure whether she would have time tonight.
Instead, she said to her nine beast husbands, “I’m going to absorb this core. Guard me.”
At her words, all nine beast husbands landed and transformed back into human form, surrounding her completely.
The four robot butlers were summoned as well.
Fu Shiyi had Butler One scan Yunyang’s body and the insect core. Only after confirming that everything was normal did he feel comfortable letting Yunyang absorb it.
Yunyang opened the StarNet and found a video that interested her. Then she began absorbing the Insect Queen’s core.
The Insect Queen’s strength far surpassed that of a ninth-level insectoid, and the energy contained within her core was likewise incomparable to that of a ninth-level core.
Yunyang was already an A-rank esper, but even she found it difficult to absorb such an enormous amount of energy.
The absorption lasted an entire day.
Fortunately, although it took a long time, Yunyang did not experience any discomfort.
The Insect Queen’s core truly was the most suitable for females to absorb.
Absorbing the core did not require much effort. Yunyang could casually browse the StarNet, and whenever she was hungry or thirsty, her beast husbands would promptly offer her food and drinks. She did not suffer in the slightest throughout the entire process.
The only problem was that it took far too long.
Yunyang absorbed energy from day into night, and then from night into day again, yet she still could not finish absorbing all the energy inside the core.
No wonder the Insect Queen had been so difficult to kill. With such an enormous reserve of energy, anyone would have been hard to kill.
Yunyang sighed inwardly, then continued absorbing.
During that time, not one of her nine beast husbands left her side.
Yunyang was nearly worn out from sitting before she finally finished absorbing all the energy in the core.
All nine beast husbands noticed immediately. Fu Shiyi swiftly reached out and picked her up.
“Female Lord, I’ll carry you to rest.”
Although the energy had been absorbed, it would still take some time to fully convert it. Yunyang readily accepted Fu Shiyi’s suggestion.
Of course, she knew Fu Shiyi’s intentions were far from innocent.
However, although she planned to reward Leonardo, she would not forget Fu Shiyi either.
If Fu Shiyi had not placed a complete set of repair tools in the backup power compartment of the mecha, how could Nuo Xiao have repaired the starship and taken them away from the abandoned planet?
She had already decided back then to reward the thoughtful Fu Shiyi once they returned to the Federation.
It was just that life with her nine beast husbands had been too comfortable, and she had forgotten about it.
It was not too late to remember now.
Yunyang did not resist when Fu Shiyi carried her away to rest. The other eight beast husbands could only put aside their plans to compete for her favor.
Their Female Lord had already been fair enough. They needed to be sensible.
The eight beast husbands brainwashed themselves with that thought.
Fu Shiyi’s intentions truly were far from pure. He did not even take Yunyang back to her room, but carried her straight into his own.
With only the two of them left in the room, Yunyang wrapped her arms around Fu Shiyi’s neck and took the initiative to adjust her position.
She looped her legs around his lean waist, hanging her entire weight from him.
That bit of weight was nothing to an adult male.
Fu Shiyi raised a hand to support her waist, his fingertips slowly stroking it.
“Female Lord…”
Yunyang lowered her head and kissed the corner of his lips.
“Let me tell you. At first, Pei Wenye and I were sent to an abandoned planet, and neither of us could contact anyone. Later, Nuo Xiao accidentally crashed onto a desolate planet.”
“But Nuo Xiao’s starship was badly damaged when it crashed, and there was nothing to repair it with. Thanks to the repair tools you put inside your combat mecha, Nuo Xiao was able to fix the ship and take us to Snow Star.”
Yunyang had already told several of her beast husbands about these events when they reunited in the Outlying Star System.
She simply had not gone into such detail at the time. The others only knew that they had encountered Nuo Xiao and managed to leave the abandoned planet because of him. They did not know the specifics.
Upon hearing those details, Fu Shiyi’s arms tightened unconsciously.
Fortunately, he habitually placed repair tools in the backup power compartments of all his combat mechas.
Fortunately, he had once specially designed combat mechas for several of his romantic rivals.
If not for that, he had no idea how long their Female Lord might have been trapped on that abandoned planet. They might not even have been able to reunite with her so quickly.
Yunyang continued, “So today, I won’t collect your token. Consider it a reward.”
Fu Shiyi rubbed his nose against hers.
“Okay.”
He was not noble enough to say that he did not need a reward.
He would only do his best to make his Female Lord happy.
Even if he could only use his spirit form.
·
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Yunyang felt that after coupling in spirit form, the energy inside her seemed to convert a little faster.
She thought that it was unlikely, so she pulled Fu Shiyi along and tested it several times.
The results proved that coupling in spirit form really could accelerate the conversion of energy.
Yunyang immediately became excited.
Since using their spirit forms did not cause any fatigue, she changed partners and rewarded someone else after waking from a good night’s sleep.
Leonardo was somewhat worried.
“Female Lord, are you sure your body is all right?”
A female was at her weakest during her period. The Female Lord had spent the previous night with Fu Shiyi, and now she wanted to be with him today as well…
He was worried that her body would not be able to handle it.
Yunyang took his hand and placed it on her waist, then tilted her head and gently blew beside Leonardo’s ear.
“Then why don’t you examine me, Leon?”
“Okay. I’ll examine the Female Lord.”
The little fox’s ears flushed red, but his hands did not hesitate in the slightest.
His nine tails wrapped gently around Yunyang, the tips brushing here and there.
Yunyang was unbearably ticklish and said coyly, “Leonardo, no fooling around.”
The little fox obediently withdrew his mischievous tails, though his hands continued without pause.
Yunyang parted her lips, but before she could say anything, Leonardo’s kiss covered them.
Their tongues touched, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
…
After rewarding two beast husbands in succession, Yunyang finally felt that the energy in her body had nearly finished converting.
Because they had used their spirit forms, she felt fresh and clean all over. She did not even ask Leonardo to help her bathe. Instead, she lay on the beast-form little fox, playing with his tails while examining the changes in her abilities.
The Insect Queen’s core truly was a treasure.
Even without using an ability detector, Yunyang could sense that her esper ability had risen directly from A-rank to S-rank.
That speed was something she would never have dared imagine before.
However, Pei Wenye had said that the ability of the previous female who absorbed the Insect Queen’s core had mutated. Could her blessing ability mutate as well?
Testing it with only one beast husband would not be accurate. Yunyang released the little fox’s tail and held out her hand.
“Leonardo, carry me downstairs.”
The little fox immediately transformed into human form. He casually found a set of loungewear to change into, then helped Yunyang put on a neat pair of pajamas before carrying her out of the room.
