After a round of picky scrutiny, the young regulators gave up.
In terms of abilities, Lady Yunyang's new beast husband was S-rank.
In terms of looks, they couldn't compare to this male.
In terms of physique, this male of unknown identity could actually rival them as well!
They'd reluctantly admit he was qualified enough to be Lady Yunyang's beast husband.
While the regulators were sizing up Rong Jin, the elevator had already risen to the top floor.
Worried that Yunyang might overexert herself, Lao Wei still only arranged four males for her to purify.
Among them were two S-rank ability users with pollution levels as high as 99 in the purification tower, and the remaining two were the A-rank ability users who had won the slots on the Star Network.
Since the two A-rank ability users had pollution levels still within controllable range, Lao Wei didn't arrange restraint chairs for them, only assigning regulators to stand guard nearby.
Yunyang glanced at the two lucky winners, and her gaze quickly settled on the young male among them.
Who would have thought that the one who had been verbally sparring with everyone on the Star Network was such a small, scrawny monkey beastman.
Noticing Yunyang's gaze land on him, the monkey beastman instantly grew nervous, blushing as he lowered his head to quickly check his attire.
After making sure everything was fine, he flashed Yunyang an ingratiating smile.
No male didn't want to have a female master of their own.
Lady Yunyang was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen. If he could become her beast husband...
Just imagining it was enough to make the monkey beastman tremble with excitement.
In fact, it wasn't just the monkey beastman—the surrounding regulators also kept stealing glances at Yunyang.
As fellow males, the four beast husbands knew all too well what those looks meant.
Fu Shiyi grabbed Yunyang's arm and pulled her behind him.
All those gazes were completely shut out.
His movements were completely unashamed, like a bucket of cold water dumped over the heads of the monkey beastman and the other males.
The monkey beastman snapped back to reality in an instant.
Lady Yunyang's beast husbands were all strong and sturdy, and all S-rank ability users, far stronger than him by countless times.
He must have been crazy just now, daring to covet the position of Lady Yunyang's beast husband.
The other three beast husbands were annoyed that they had been a step too slow, but at a time like this, they still chose to stand united against outsiders.
There were already too many rivals matched through the marriage center—they absolutely couldn't afford more!
The four beast husbands and the other males each had their own thoughts.
Yunyang didn't continue observing. She sat down in the chair Lao Wei had prepared for her and said, "Please open your mental landscapes."
The beastmen in the purification tower were used to this, but the two lucky winners didn't quite understand.
Did Lady Yunyang mean for all of them to open their mental landscapes at once?
Was Lady Yunyang going to purify all four of them simultaneously?
Seeing the two standing there dumbfounded, Lao Wei didn't even wait for Yunyang to speak before barking at them: "What are you standing around for? If you don't want to be purified, I'll have someone escort you out!"
He was most annoyed by these dawdling beastmen!
The monkey beastman and the other beastman were startled by the loud voice, and quickly opened their mental landscapes.
Compared to the two S-rank ability users, their mental landscapes were in much better condition, at least still recognizable in their original form.
Even so, Yunyang didn't play favorites, consuming roughly the same amount of mental energy on all four.
The purification process wasn't long. When it ended, the two S-rank ability users had their pollution levels reduced by 12 and 13 points respectively, while the two A-rank ability users had theirs reduced by 17 and 20 points.
The one whose pollution level dropped by 20 points was the monkey beastman.
Looking at the number on the detection device, he could hardly believe his eyes.
61!
Except for the time he was in the Star Beastmen Academy, his pollution level had never been this low!
The monkey beastman jumped up in excitement, quickly paying Yunyang her fee.
Though grabbing a purification slot on the Star Network didn't cost money, he knew the rules—there was no way he'd let a lady purify him for free.
The other three males also paid their fees.
Then they expressed their thanks one after another.
"Lady Yunyang, I'm truly so grateful to you. I've never felt better!"
"Lady Yunyang, how are you feeling? Have you overexerted yourself?"
"Lady Yunyang..."
The four males rushed to express their gratitude, their words sincere and their eyes fervent.
Yunyang quietly stepped back into the arms of her four beast husbands.
She wasn't good at handling so much enthusiasm from others.
Seeing her discomfort, Lao Wei stepped forward to offer an easy out. "Lady Yunyang, you've worked hard. Let me take you to the resting room."
Yunyang nodded hurriedly and followed Lao Wei to the resting room with her four beast husbands in tow.
The resting room was spacious, more than enough to accommodate her and all four beast husbands at once.
After seeing them in, Lao Wei went back to settle the four males.
Yunyang took a sip of the water one of her beast husbands handed her, then looked at Fu Shiyi. "Fu Shiyi, what's Lao Wei's pollution level?"
Fu Shiyi took the empty cup. "78."
"And what about those regulators out in the purification tower?"
"At least 60% of the regulators have pollution levels above 70."
Having to stay in an environment like the purification tower all day, those regulators' pollution levels couldn't possibly be low.
Yunyang nodded thoughtfully, then opened her light brain and started operating it.
Seeing that she made no effort to hide what she was doing, the four beast husbands all unconsciously broke into smiles.
This meant their female master trusted them!
After sending the message to Lao Wei, Yunyang couldn't help but tap into the Star Network to browse.
But she hadn't been scrolling for long before the content on the holographic screen was suddenly replaced by a line of large text.
[Light brain system upgrading...]
Since when could a light brain be upgraded?
Yunyang looked at the four beast husbands, about to ask, but Fu Shiyi, who had already seen the text, provided an explanation.
"After a female's mental power is detected as S-rank, the terminal will customize a higher-spec light brain system for her. This is for the protection of females."
"It should be that the terminal has finished collecting the data and issued the upgrade command, so the other functions are temporarily disabled."
"Under normal circumstances, a light brain system upgrade doesn't interfere with regular use."
Yunyang understood.
It was just like the phone system updates from her previous life.
Unable to browse the Star Network, Yunyang didn't want to stay at the purification tower any longer. She had Qin Mo send a message to Lao Wei, then left with her four beast husbands.
By the time they returned to the villa, it was still early.
Qin Mo and the other two didn't cook together this time, unanimously giving the opportunity to the newcomer, Rong Jin.
All of them had graduated from the Star Beastmen Academy, so Rong Jin's cooking couldn't possibly be inedible. They were looking forward to seeing how their new rival's culinary skills measured up.
The three of them were unusually united in their thinking—
Hopefully, this new rival had the worst cooking skills, and would end up being neglected by their female master!
Rong Jin could tell with his toes what the three rivals were plotting. Too bad for them—their plan was destined to fail.
After taking on the important task of cooking, Rong Jin squeezed his way in front of Yunyang and crouched down.
His eyes sparkled, and his sharp little fangs peeked out. "Female master, what would you like for dinner tonight?"
"Anything?" Yunyang asked uncertainly.
As someone with zero cooking skills, she rarely had opinions on what to eat, at most comparing the differences in her beast husbands' cooking in her own mind.
After all, having food prepared for her was already a blessing.
"Of course," Rong Jin's smile widened. "Female master, I can cook anything."
If you don't feel like eating, you can have something else first.
