Meanwhile.
Because the purification that afternoon had consumed too much of her mental power, Yunyang rested for a while with Xuan Yu before contacting Yun Shaoqi through her optical brain.
[Shaoqi-ge, come over for dinner. Rong Jin made it.]
Yun Shaoqi replied quickly: [Sure. Give me ten minutes.]
Since she planned to ask Yun Shaoqi about his personal affairs later, Yunyang did not invite You Lu. She would thank You Lu tomorrow instead.
“Rong Jin.” She waved to the little red panda and handed him the storage device. “Shaoqi-ge is coming over for dinner. Get things ready.”
His elder brother-in-law was going to eat food he had prepared?
Rong Jin was suddenly filled with a sense of mission.
He had to perform well. He absolutely could not let his brother-in-law look down on his cooking!
Rong Jin took the storage device and remembered to ask, “Female Master, does your brother-in-law have any food he avoids?”
Yunyang blinked innocently before answering with complete justification, “I don’t know.”
She did not even know what foods her own five beast husbands avoided. How could she possibly know her brother’s preferences?
There was no female in the Federation who would go out of her way to remember a male’s likes and dislikes!
Rong Jin: “…”
That was perfectly reasonable.
He would just look it up on his optical brain.
The optical brain had all the information he needed, and Rong Jin soon began preparing dinner.
The residence arranged by the First Army had a kitchen, but making everything fresh would take too long. Worried that Yunyang might get hungry, Rong Jin decided to stir-fry only two dishes and make a bowl of hot-and-sour soup. The rest would be food they had prepared before setting out.
When Yun Shaoqi arrived, Rong Jin was still busy in the kitchen.
Qin Mo went upstairs to open the door.
He then discovered that Yun Shaoqi had not come alone. He had brought two young males dressed in Federation military uniforms. They were clearly new recruits who had only joined the First Army this year.
Qin Mo’s brows twitched. “Brother-in-law, who are these two?”
Yun Shaoqi did not introduce them. He merely patted Qin Mo on the shoulder before leading them inside.
In the living room, Yunyang was sitting on the sofa. Xuan Yu was massaging her waist, Fu Shiyi was kneading her leg, and Pei Wenye was feeding her pieces of sliced fruit.
Yun Shaoqi nodded in satisfaction.
That was exactly how Yunyang’s men should serve her!
He sat down across from Yunyang. “Yunyang, these two were carefully selected by your brother. They’re both good-looking, and their abilities are S-rank. What do you think?”
As Yun Shaoqi said this, the two Federation soldiers standing behind him unconsciously straightened. The muscles on their bodies bulged, pulling their military uniforms taut.
Yunyang glanced at them once, then withdrew her gaze.
“Shaoqi-ge, they’re not my type.”
Given the Federation’s absurdly high female-to-male ratio, Yunyang did not dare to be tactful. Her attitude was direct and firm.
The two rejected soldiers were naturally a little disappointed, but after looking at the men surrounding Yunyang, they quickly felt that there was nothing to be upset about.
They truly could not compare with Lady Yunyang’s beast husbands. It was perfectly normal that Lady Yunyang did not like them.
Besides, there were countless males on the Star Network who wanted to become Lady Yunyang’s beast husbands. Hadn’t not one of them succeeded?
Yun Shaoqi nodded. “Then what kind do you like? Your brother will find someone for you.”
Five beast husbands really were too few.
“Shaoqi-ge, let’s not discuss that for now.”
As Yunyang spoke, she looked at the two Federation soldiers.
“Sorry to make you come all this way. Qin Mo, take them back.”
“Sure thing.”
Qin Mo was delighted. He eagerly ushered the two men outside.
Only after the outsiders had left did Yunyang turn her attention back to Yun Shaoqi.
Yun Shaoqi suddenly developed an ominous feeling.
Yunyang asked, “Shaoqi-ge, you still haven’t told me why you were divorced.”
The moment she said this, all five of her beast husbands, including Rong Jin, turned their eyes toward Yun Shaoqi.
Yun Shaoqi: “…”
Sis, couldn’t we have discussed this in private?
Did you really have to expose your brother’s embarrassing past in front of all five of your husbands?
Seeing that Yun Shaoqi clearly did not want to talk about it, Yunyang curled her lips into a smile. “Shaoqi-ge, they’re all family. You don’t have to worry about them telling anyone.”
Yun Shaoqi scratched his hair.
“It’s just… my female master took in a new beast husband. He and I didn’t get along, so he tried every possible way to push me aside. But my female master favored only him.”
“Later, that bastard set me up and made my female master think I was trying to get rid of him out of jealousy. So she divorced me.”
The story sounded simple when told aloud, but only Yun Shaoqi knew how deeply wronged he had felt.
That damned scheming snake!
From Yun Shaoqi’s brief account, Yunyang could roughly piece together the truth.
In the palace-intrigue dramas she had watched in her previous life, the consorts in the imperial harem had used vicious and ruthless methods to compete for favor.
Although the ones competing for favor in the Federation were males, their methods were no less underhanded.
Otherwise, with her brother’s looks and strength, what female would have been willing to divorce him?
Yunyang suddenly felt that the tactics her own five beast husbands used to compete for her favor were nothing more than childish squabbling compared with this.
She looked at Yun Shaoqi sympathetically. “What happened after that?”
“Afterward, I tried to explain everything to my female master, but that damned snake never gave me a chance to see her.”
“I didn’t want to go home and look for Mother and Father, so I simply joined the First Army. Not long after that, the insectoids launched an attack. My pollution level rose above eighty at that time.”
Yunyang remembered this. The last time Commander Lei Ou had lost control, it had been because he had failed to use his suppressant in time while repelling the insectoids.
After going through so much, it was no wonder her brother had not known that she had awakened S-rank mental power.
“By the way, Shaoqi-ge, how did your pollution level suddenly exceed ninety-five?”
That day, Yun Shaoqi had not said anything outright, but after learning that she was coming to Planet T01, he had not mentioned going home to look for her.
So Yunyang had thought his pollution level was still relatively stable at the time.
His sudden loss of control had definitely not been normal.
At the question, Yun Shaoqi also found it strange. “I don’t know.”
The previous night, he had been organizing his clothes, thinking that he would greet his little sister in the best possible condition.
Then he seemed to hear some kind of voice, and his pollution level began rising wildly. It broke through the ninety-point threshold in an instant and continued climbing.
His consciousness had already become somewhat muddled, but he still knew that he could not transform at the military base. He had immediately left the dormitory, started up a spacecraft, and headed for the insect planet.
That was what all Federation soldiers on the verge of losing control did.
He had simply been lucky. His spacecraft had crashed on a barren planet, where his little sister had rescued him.
After hearing Yun Shaoqi’s account, Qin Mo’s brows furrowed.
According to the Federation’s records, there had never been any kind of sound capable of causing a male’s pollution level to surge.
This matter could not be taken lightly.
He immediately asked, “Brother-in-law, does Commander Lei Ou know about this?”
Yun Shaoqi sighed. “The insectoids seem to be making another move. Commander Lei Ou is busy monitoring them, and I haven’t had a chance to tell him yet.”
The insectoids had been making more and more suspicious movements lately.
Qin Mo turned to Yunyang. “Female Master, I’m going to see Adjutant Pan En.”
Yunyang also knew how serious the matter was and hurriedly nodded. “Go.”
Qin Mo turned and left at once.
Just then, Rong Jin brought all the prepared dishes to the dining table.
“Female Master, brother-in-law, come eat.”
