Thinking about the soft flesh around her waist, Yunyang readily agreed.
She was indeed a little lacking in exercise. Although she had a standard figure, the flesh on her body was not firm, and anyone with eyes could tell that she had been inactive for years.
Normally, that would not matter much. But if she went to the battlefield, her stamina would be so poor that, should she encounter any danger, she might not even be able to escape.
The amusement in Qin Mo’s eyes deepened. “Mistress, let’s stop here for today. We still have to go to the Purification Tower later.”
From now on, he would be able to spend time alone with Mistress every morning in the open.
Yunyang knew her own limits, so she nodded decisively.
She returned to her room to change. When she came back to the living room, her other four beast husbands immediately gathered around her.
They did not ask outright, but their eyes were filled with curiosity.
Yunyang reached out and pinched each of the four husbands’ ear headbands before explaining, “I’m planning to go to the T01 Frontier Star in ten days, so I asked Qin Mo to teach me how to use a gun.”
Ten days was the deadline Yunyang and You Lu had agreed on.
If they waited any longer, the Zerg’s harassment of the Federation might become even more frequent.
All four husbands had heard Yunyang and You Lu talking that morning, so none of them objected.
They simply did not like Qin Mo being the one to teach her alone.
Xuan Yu said, “Mistress, I can teach you how to use a gun too.”
Rong Jin added, “Mistress, I received an S rating in firearms when I graduated.”
Pei Wenye said nothing.
He had not graduated from the Interstellar Male Academy and only knew the basics of firearms, so he had better not give her any misguided instruction.
Fu Shiyi glanced at the message on his optical brain and did not bother competing for her favor.
Yunyang shook her head. “Qin Mo can teach me.”
With only ten days available, the best person to teach her was naturally Qin Mo, who had actually been on the battlefield.
Xuan Yu and Rong Jin immediately looked disappointed.
The next second, Yunyang’s words turned their sorrow into joy.
“However, I’ve decided to start morning workouts tomorrow. You can all join me.”
The little man in Qin Mo’s heart gnawed on a handkerchief.
Hadn’t Mistress agreed to exercise with him?
The others, however, were delighted and nodded repeatedly.
But before long, all five beast husbands regretted it—
Because they had to get up early for morning exercise, Yunyang ordered them not to indulge themselves at night. At the very least, she needed six hours of rest.
The five husbands felt as if the sky were falling.
Mistress considered seven o’clock an early wake-up time. To guarantee six hours of sleep, they had to rest by one at the latest.
But Yunyang returned from the Purification Tower every day, then ate dinner and took a walk. By the time all that was done, it was already seven in the evening.
By that calculation, they had only six hours left—and that was before deducting the time spent serving Mistress while she washed up.
They were only allowed to be favored once a week to begin with, and now the time had been cut down so drastically.
This was simply… too cruel!
Yunyang did not care what her husbands thought.
She might be a little lazy and a little too fond of staying at home, but once she made a plan, she followed it strictly.
So even though she had to face her husbands’ dissatisfied expressions every morning, she pretended not to notice.
After all, she was the one benefiting.
·
Morning exercise really did produce results.
With Qin Mo’s scientifically designed training plan, Yunyang felt that the flesh on her body had become noticeably firmer in just one week.
It might have been a psychological effect, but Yunyang firmly rejected that possibility.
Besides her morning workouts, she practiced shooting with Qin Mo every day. She could not claim to hit the target every time, but at least three to five shots out of a hundred managed to strike the bull’s-eye.
Even Qin Mo was stunned by the speed of her improvement.
After training on the eighth day, he took the NG-T30 from her.
“Mistress, let’s stop practicing for the next two days. I’ll find someone to adjust the gun for you.”
Mass-produced weapons were never perfectly suited to every individual, which was why all the Federation’s military forces had specialists dedicated to calibrating firearms.
Over the past few days, Qin Mo had recorded Yunyang’s preferences as data. He only needed to send the information to the specialists in the Twenty-Third Army, who could then make the necessary adjustments.
To prevent one gun from being insufficient, he had also prepared several identical ones.
“Okay.” Yunyang had no objections. She knew that Qin Mo was far more professional than she was when it came to this sort of thing.
After leaving the shooting room, she was about to return to her room to shower and change when she ran into Fu Shiyi.
“Mistress, I’ve prepared a gift.” Fu Shiyi took her hand. “Would you do me the honor of coming to see it?”
A gift?
Yunyang nodded. “Sure.”
Fu Shiyi tightened his hold slightly, drawing her closer. Then he bent down, picked her up, and carried her toward the third floor.
Aside from the room containing the gifts You Lu had sent, all the other rooms on the third floor were still empty. They did not even have furniture yet.
Fu Shiyi carried Yunyang into one of the empty rooms. After closing the door, he opened his spatial button.
Yunyang looked up and saw a remarkably compact black combat mecha appear before her.
Although it was black, touches of pink were hidden along its edges and corners. The design was stylish without being overly conspicuous.
Yunyang fell in love with it at first sight.
Seeing the delight in her eyes, Fu Shiyi set her down so she could examine the mecha up close.
Yunyang looked here and touched there, thoroughly pleased with the mecha.
She turned to Fu Shiyi. Her already beautiful eyes shone brightly, as though they held an entire galaxy.
“Fu Shiyi, is this for me?”
“Yes.” Fu Shiyi picked her up again and carried her into the mecha’s cockpit. “Mistress, I’ll teach you how to operate it.”
From the moment Yunyang agreed to go to the T01 Frontier Star with Leo, Fu Shiyi had begun preparing this mecha.
He had named it Rose Shadow. Every component of Rose Shadow was made from the finest metals, and its technology was more advanced than that of the Federation’s latest combat mecha.
He had not given Rose Shadow overwhelming firepower. Instead, he had focused on absolute speed and stealth.
If Yunyang encountered danger, Rose Shadow could get her off the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Of course, there was no need to tell Yunyang any of that.
Fu Shiyi simply held her as they sat in the cockpit, connected Rose Shadow to her optical brain, and patiently introduced its functions one by one.
Operating a mecha was not difficult. In less than half an hour, Yunyang had mastered it completely.
“Fu Shiyi, can I take it outside and try it out?”
“Of course.”
Fu Shiyi led her out of the cockpit and stored Rose Shadow in his spatial button.
He did not leave through the villa’s front door. Instead, he opened the floor-to-ceiling window, then carried Yunyang out with him.
Inside the villa, the other four husbands knew nothing about this. They were still discussing what to prepare for lunch.
Outside the villa, Fu Shiyi landed in an open area within the residential district.
After steadying Yunyang on her feet, he took Rose Shadow out again.
This time, Yunyang did not wait for him to help. She quickly climbed into the cockpit and beckoned to him eagerly.
“Fu Shiyi, hurry up!”
Fu Shiyi let out a low laugh and took the copilot’s seat, allowing Yunyang to operate the mecha however she pleased.
The Federation’s combat mechas could all switch between two forms: a humanoid form and a small aircraft form.
Yunyang tried both and then discovered that her mecha seemed to have a third form.
There was a third button beside the two buttons for switching forms.
“Fu Shiyi, what happens if I press this?” Yunyang did not remember Fu Shiyi explaining it earlier.
A hint of darkness flashed through Fu Shiyi’s eyes.
“It won’t be dangerous. Mistress, you can try it yourself.”
Since he had said there wouldn’t be any danger, Yunyang didn’t hesitate and pressed it at once.
