Unfortunately, there was more than one gaze fixed on Yunyang, so Nuo Xiao failed to receive any special treatment.
Nuo Xiao’s eyes drooped as he kept reassuring himself inwardly—
He was new here. Unlike the other beast husbands, he had no emotional foundation with the female master, so it was perfectly normal for her not to notice him.
It was all right. He would definitely work hard to seduce the female master and strive to be marked by her as soon as possible!
Nuo Xiao had complete confidence in his looks and physique.
The female master had agreed to his matching application, which meant she was at least satisfied with his external conditions. He still had a chance.
Because his mind was occupied with all sorts of thoughts, Nuo Xiao found the meal somewhat tasteless.
Even so, he noticed that his portion had clearly been added to the meal.
The female master must have informed the cooks before he arrived.
The female master really did care about him.
As for his rivals… Since they were willing to prepare extra food because of him, he wouldn’t forget to make a portion for them whenever he cooked for the female master in the future.
Nuo Xiao’s thoughts jumped from one thing to another, while Yunyang had already finished eating under the attentive service of the two beast husbands beside her.
She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, then opened her spatial button and found a jade token bearing a snowy owl design. She sauntered over to Nuo Xiao and pressed it into his hands.
A trace of confusion appeared in Nuo Xiao’s eyes.
“Qin Mo, explain it to him.”
With that, Yunyang strolled back to the sofa and prepared to wait for the beast husbands to finish eating before going out for a walk together.
She didn’t have to wait long.
Five minutes later, all ten beast husbands, including Nuo Xiao, had put down their chopsticks and left the dining table.
Naturally, the minor task of clearing the table fell to the several robot butlers.
Yunyang sent a message to the group chat with her best friends. After confirming that You Lu and Chu Zhiwei had also finished eating, she leisurely walked toward her best friends’ villa.
The three of them met up, and You Lu and Chu Zhiwei immediately noticed the newcomer behind Yunyang.
You Lu blinked and asked excitedly, “Yangyang, is this your new beast husband?”
Chu Zhiwei asked as well, “Was he matched to you by the Marriage Center?”
Yunyang nodded, answering both questions at once.
Seeing her gesture, Nuo Xiao began to grow secretly excited from head to toe.
The female master had acknowledged him in front of the other gentlemen!
You Lu and Chu Zhiwei were delighted too. The two of them had been wondering just the other day when Yangyang’s number of beast husbands would reach double digits, and today, Yangyang had actually brought home a new one.
The two women walked up and each linked an arm through one of Yunyang’s, quietly asking about Nuo Xiao.
As her sisters, they naturally had to vet him for Yangyang.
Although this newcomer looked pretty good, who knew whether he was merely a handsome but useless ornament?
Their Yangyang was an SSS-rank female. Anyone with an ability below S-rank was completely unworthy of her.
Yunyang answered them honestly.
After learning that Nuo Xiao possessed an SSS-rank ability and was currently an instructor at the Interstellar Male Academy, the two best friends were reassured.
He wasn’t bad-looking, was powerful, and could even serve as an instructor at the male academy. This man named Nuo Xiao was barely worthy of their Yangyang.
After discussing her own affairs, Yunyang courteously asked her two best friends about this and that as well.
With the three of them gathered together, there was always an endless supply of topics to discuss. It wasn’t until almost midnight that Yunyang led her ten beast husbands back to her estate.
The estate was enormous. At Yunyang’s walking speed, it took about an hour to get from the main entrance to the villa.
Yunyang was starting to feel too lazy to move, so she had Chen Yueli carry her back.
Chen Yueli had been chosen for the night.
He wanted to hurry back to the villa so he could cuddle with Yunyang, but he also wanted to carry her for a while longer in front of the other beast husbands—especially Nuo Xiao. The entire leopard was caught in an unbearable dilemma.
But no matter how conflicted he felt, he still carried Yunyang back to the villa in less than half an hour.
Rosemary, which Yunyang always brought with her wherever she went, had been planted along both sides of the road outside the villa. Just before entering, Yunyang lazily turned her head after catching the scent.
She looked at the rosemary and suddenly blinked.
“A-Shi, haven’t there been quite a few more rosemary plants?”
Yunyang had already told several of her beast husbands what rosemary was called.
As soon as she said this, Chen Yueli subconsciously stopped and, together with the other beast husbands, looked toward the rosemary by the entrance.
Fu Shiyi adjusted his glasses. “Yes. There are ten more than last month.”
Upon hearing the exact number, Yunyang patted Chen Yueli on the shoulder, signaling for him to put her down.
Chen Yueli was reluctant, but he still carefully lowered her to the ground.
Yunyang immediately approached the rosemary and counted the plants carefully.
When she had brought the rosemary back from Planet S28, there had only been a few plants. Yet now there were nearly thirty?
These plants had already become one of the household’s commonly used seasonings after being planted.
There had originally been ten people in the household, and a portion was used up every time they cooked.
Under such circumstances, the rosemary had still multiplied to nearly thirty plants. If none of it had been eaten, wouldn’t there be more than fifty by now?
Was the ancient-style botanical garden really that outrageous?
With that thought, Yunyang opened her optical computer, took a picture of the rosemary, and sent it to the person in charge of the ancient-style botanical garden.
It was already past midnight, so she didn’t expect the person in charge to reply immediately. After sending the message, she walked back toward Chen Yueli and lightly jumped onto his back.
Seeing the envious looks of his nine rivals, Chen Yueli was delighted.
He supported Yunyang securely and then strode quickly into the villa.
The Little Black Leopard worked hard all night.
The next day at noon, when Yunyang woke up, she finally saw the message the person in charge of the ancient-style botanical garden had sent that morning.
[Esteemed Yunyang, could you tell me how you cultivated the LZ047 ancient plant?!]
The person in charge had worded his request rather tactfully, but the exclamation mark at the end still betrayed his shock.
The LZ047 ancient plant had been cultivated in their botanical garden for so long, and they cared for it every day using the most professional methods. Even so, the number of LZ047 plants only increased by a few each year.
Yet the LZ047 plants Yunyang had brought home had multiplied several times over in less than a year.
How could he not be excited?
How could he not be shocked?
Unfortunately, he had asked the wrong person.
Yunyang tried hard to remember.
[Well, I planted them outside my villa and watered them more often…]
These minor tasks were all handled by the beast husbands. She had barely taken care of the rosemary herself.
She could even say that she had no idea how the rosemary had managed to survive being transplanted so many times.
Its vitality was truly astonishing—almost comparable to that of the insectoid race.
The person in charge had been waiting for Yunyang’s reply since early that morning, but when he actually saw her message, he fell silent.
Only Yunyang would dare treat an ancient plant so casually.
If he dared to do the same, then the moment even a single rosemary plant went missing, he would be held responsible.
The person in charge could only reply helplessly:
[I understand. Thank you for being willing to tell me.]
[Esteemed Yunyang, would you permit me to show our researchers the chat history?]
Yunyang naturally agreed. She hadn’t said anything special, so they could look all they wanted.
As long as they didn’t look at her chat history with her best friends.
Those conversations were truly not fit for public viewing.
