The aroma of the food drove every one of Yun Shaoqi’s worries from his mind.
He had always been the one cooking for his mother, Yangyang, and his female master. Today, at last, it was his turn to sit back and enjoy a meal.
“Yangyang, let Little Qin and Adjutant Pan En worry about this matter. Let’s eat first.”
Yunyang found it amusing to hear Yun Shaoqi address Qin Mo that way.
At noon, aboard the battleship, Brother Shaoqi had called him “Deputy Qin” every other sentence. Now he had become “Little Qin.”
It seemed this also meant that Brother Shaoqi had accepted her beast husbands.
Yunyang rose from the sofa and walked toward the dining table with Yun Shaoqi.
Rong Jin had prepared an incredibly sumptuous dinner. It was clear he had put a great deal of thought into it.
After taking a sip of the spicy pepper soup, Yun Shaoqi praised it without reservation. He loved salty, spicy food like this. Unfortunately, his female master had never cared for it, so he had never made it before.
Now that he was following his younger sister, he finally got to eat well too.
Yun Shaoqi set down his spoon and praised him. “Little Rong, your cooking is pretty good. You must have put a lot of effort into it back at the academy, huh?”
Rong Jin froze for a moment when he heard himself called “Little Rong.”
He quickly recovered and gave an embarrassed smile. “My mentor said that if you want to win a female’s heart, you have to win her stomach first.”
Every male present agreed wholeheartedly.
Yunyang offered no comment and simply drank her steaming bowl of spicy pepper soup.
They had barely finished dinner when Adjutant Pan En hurriedly sent someone to find Yun Shaoqi.
Since it concerned official business, Yun Shaoqi did not dare delay. Before leaving, however, he reminded Yunyang, “Yangyang, remember to tell me what kind of male you like. I’ll go find one for you!”
Under the gazes of her four beast husbands, Yunyang merely smiled without answering.
If she was going to tell Brother Shaoqi, she would do it privately through her wrist-computer. It would not be appropriate to discuss it in front of her beast husbands.
Besides… if she really had to describe the kind of male she liked, she could not come up with an answer right away.
Her five beast husbands were all completely different types, yet she liked every one of them.
Aside from being handsome and strong, she also cared about how she felt around someone.
And feelings were impossible to explain.
Yunyang did not take the matter to heart.
Having Lulu search for males for her was more than enough. With Brother Shaoqi joining in, she might as well give up everything else and stay at home choosing husbands all day.
Once her beast husbands had finished clearing the table and cleaning the kitchen, she took the four of them outside for a walk.
The security team had been stationed outside the entire time. The moment they saw Yunyang, they followed after her.
Yunyang waved to the guards and then treated them as though they were invisible.
There were no gardens aboard T01, so Yunyang could only wander around the base. She treated it as an opportunity to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
The First Legion’s base was enormous. Yunyang walked aimlessly, with no idea where she had ended up.
She seemed to have passed through the residential quarters, but the windows there were one-way glass. Nothing inside could be seen from outside, so she was not entirely certain.
For that very reason, Yunyang did not know that behind one of those panes of glass, a small tailless fox had been watching her for a long time.
The voyeur knew how despicable his behavior was, so he hid himself in the shadows of the room, as if that could conceal thoughts he should never have had.
“Leon, what are you doing hiding here?”
The voyeur was discovered and dragged back into the light.
“Let me introduce you. These are my roommates. This one is…”
Liang Yixiao said something, but Leonardo did not hear a word.
All his attention was fixed on the figure disappearing beyond the glass.
As if he had sensed something, Fu Shiyi suddenly stopped and looked precisely toward the dormitory where Liang Yixiao was staying.
Yunyang tilted her head at him. “What is it?”
Fu Shiyi shook his head thoughtfully. “Nothing. Are you tired, female master? Would you like to go back and rest?”
“I’m fine. Let’s walk a little longer.”
Yunyang felt that her workouts really were paying off.
Before she started exercising, she would feel somewhat tired after half an hour at most. Now, nearly forty minutes had passed, and she still felt completely refreshed.
In any case, Brother Shaoqi’s problem had been resolved. Starting tomorrow, she would resume her morning exercises!
With that thought, Yunyang waved to one of the guards. “Which way is the training grounds?”
The male had not expected Yunyang to speak to him. His tongue suddenly knotted, and he was so anxious that he could not form a complete sentence.
Fortunately, he still remembered that he had hands. He raised one and pointed toward the training grounds.
“Thank you.”
Yunyang memorized the location. Tomorrow morning, she would take all five of her beast husbands there for morning exercises!
It was not advisable to walk for too long after a meal. After another ten minutes, Yunyang turned back toward their residence with her beast husbands.
Once he had safely escorted Yunyang back, Fu Shiyi adjusted his glasses. “Female master, I’m going to check on Qin Mo.”
Yunyang waved a hand. “Go ahead.”
With Xuan Yu and the other two inside, and the security team outside, her safety was guaranteed. Naturally, she would not stop her beast husbands from doing what they wanted.
Tonight, Xuan Yu would attend to her.
After Fu Shiyi left, Xuan Yu eagerly swept Yunyang into his arms and carried her upstairs.
The residence prepared by the First Legion was a detached two-story house. The first floor contained the living room and kitchen, while the second floor consisted of several small rooms.
The largest and most comfortable room naturally belonged to Yunyang.
While Xuan Yu attended to Yunyang in the bath, Fu Shiyi arrived at the place Yunyang had passed earlier.
He locked onto that particular scent and followed it.
Liang Yixiao was chatting idly with several fellow soldiers when a knock sounded at the door. He sprang up to open it and was greeted first by Designer Fu’s unmistakable silver-rimmed glasses.
“Designer Fu?” Liang Yixiao scratched his head. “Why are you here? Did Lady Yunyang have some orders?”
Although he was not assigned to guard Lady Yunyang tonight, he would immediately carry out anything she asked.
Fu Shiyi said nothing.
His red-gold eyes swept across the entire dormitory before finally settling on the tailless fox.
The aura of an SSS-rank ability user descended in an instant.
Leonardo’s ears twitched, and his gaze dimmed.
He knew this man.
He was one of that revered lady’s beast husbands.
He had come to warn him.
Leonardo avoided Fu Shiyi’s eyes.
Only then did Fu Shiyi look back at Liang Yixiao and hand him a spatial storage device.
“Combat mechs for the security team.”
With those words, Fu Shiyi turned and left the residential quarters where Liang Yixiao lived.
What mechs?
Liang Yixiao opened the spatial device on instinct. The sight of the neatly arranged combat mechs inside nearly blinded him.
They were the latest models—mechs that had not even been supplied to the Federation Army on a large scale yet!
Liang Yixiao immediately perked up. After saying a few words to his roommates, he took the spatial device and went to find Feir.
Feir was the only SSS-rank ability user in the security team and was naturally qualified to serve as their squad leader.
The distribution of the mechs was therefore something he had to handle.
Off the battlefield, Liang Yixiao was astonishingly oblivious.
All of his roommates had noticed Fu Shiyi’s hostility toward Leonardo. He was the only one who had not.
After Liang Yixiao left, one of the roommates comfortingly patted Leonardo on the head.
“Don’t be scared. Designer Fu may be a little old-fashioned, but he’s actually a good person.”
They could not imagine how Leon, who possessed no special abilities, could possibly have offended Designer Fu.
But with Designer Fu’s abilities, if she truly wanted to deal with Leon, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
The fact that Designer Fu hadn’t done so meant that Leon couldn’t have committed some unforgivable offense.
