The one accompanying Yunyang during her post-lunch rest was Rong Jin.
It was the first time the red panda had appeared in her mental landscape, and he was so excited that both his ears and tail had popped out.
Yunyang’s spirit lay on the grass, her back pressed against the red panda’s fluffy, soft tail while a male’s heated body held her from the front.
“Rong Jin, slow down…”
Why was this red panda acting like a dog?
The dog-like red panda kept nuzzling and kissing her, as if he wanted to knead her entire body into his own.
“Female sovereign…”
“I like you so much…”
…
Perhaps because her genetic compatibility with several of her beast husbands was so high, Yunyang’s mental power could basically recover from thirty percent to over ninety percent after just one session.
With Pei Wenye, whose compatibility was the highest, her mental power could even recover directly to its optimal state.
But only ten people were scheduled to receive purification that afternoon, so ninety percent mental power was more than enough.
“Female sovereign, I’ll carry you up.”
Although they had only had one session and he had been forced to keep an eye on the time, Rong Jin did not ask for any extra benefits like the others had.
He merely brushed his large tail against Yunyang before lifting her from the bed.
Yunyang was quite pleased with this. She pinched and rubbed the red panda’s ears, then rewarded Rong Jin with a kiss.
Rong Jin swayed his tail smugly. He knew it—the female sovereign liked obedient, well-behaved males.
He would definitely be more obedient than his four rivals!
With one hand resting on Rong Jin’s shoulder, Yunyang looked at his smug expression with amusement.
The red panda was still rather young, after all. Every thought he had was practically written across his face for the whole world to see.
Still, as long as they did not go too far, Yunyang was willing to turn a blind eye to the little tricks her beast husbands used to compete for her favor.
Yunyang shifted around in Rong Jin’s arms until she found a comfortable position.
“Rong Jin, I’m tired. Carry me to the tower later.”
The female sovereign wanted him to carry her to the tower!
None of his four rivals had ever received such treatment before!
Rong Jin’s tail shot straight up with delight. After hurriedly agreeing, he efficiently helped Yunyang change clothes and set off with her.
On the first floor, the other four beast husbands immediately got to their feet when they heard the door close and looked over.
Before Rong Jin and Yunyang had even come downstairs, the four of them had already come forward.
“Female sovereign.”
“Female sovereign, let me take you to the tower.”
“No, I’ll do it. I can transform into beast form and carry you there!”
Rong Jin had put away his ears and tail after leaving the room, but when he heard his rivals’ words, he still could not hide the smugness on his face.
“The female sovereign said I’m to carry her to the tower. Hurry up and move aside. Don’t delay her important work.”
The other four rivals: “…”
Why was the smug look on this red panda’s face so punchable?
The four beast husbands glared daggers at Rong Jin, but they did not dare delay Yunyang’s trip to the central tower. They could only clear a path and follow behind him.
Just before they left, Yunyang suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, right. I’m inviting Lulu over for dinner tonight. Remember to prepare for it.”
“Lulu has quite a few beast husbands, so all five of you will cook together tonight. You’re not allowed to use the dishes Rong Jin prepared last time.”
It was thanks to Lulu’s help that she had been able to rescue Brother Shaoqi without worry last time. Naturally, she had to show her gratitude.
The five beast husbands immediately agreed.
While accompanying Yunyang at the tower as she performed the purification, the five men each took stock of the ingredients they had brought. Whenever something was missing, they placed an express order through the interstellar network.
When Fu Shiyi placed his order, he glanced at Yunyang and silently ordered fifty sets of women’s clothing, each one different.
They were all attractive yet convenient for movement.
The female sovereign would be staying on T01 Star for half a month. The few outfits she had brought with her were definitely not enough.
The Federation’s delivery service was already fast, and the five beast husbands had paid extra for the fastest option.
As a result, Yunyang had barely finished the day’s purification work and returned to the residence when she received a mountain of packages.
She looked at the five beast husbands. “Did you buy all of these?”
Fu Shiyi casually brought over a chair and placed it in front of the pile of packages.
“We’re going to prepare dinner. We’ll have to trouble the female sovereign with opening these packages.”
“Sure!”
The thrill of tearing through packages was just as satisfying in the interstellar age.
Yunyang sat down in the chair and began opening them.
Although the packages had been ordered by several of her beast husbands, she was the female sovereign of all five of them, so she had permission to open every package.
The first few contained fresh ingredients. Each time Yunyang opened one, one of the beast husbands would come over to take the contents away.
When she opened the eighth package, Yunyang’s eyes lit up.
It was a sea-blue women’s combat suit.
There was only one female in the entire household, so there was no need to guess. One of the beast husbands had bought it for her.
Yunyang opened her photobrain and scanned the package. Once the outfit’s style and size had been recorded, she began opening the next one.
Aside from the first few packages, all the rest contained various kinds of women’s clothing.
Yunyang looked at the pile of clothes and sighed.
Fortunately, Federation technology was advanced. Once the clothing data had been entered, she could use holographic images on her photobrain to try everything on. Otherwise, simply checking whether all these clothes fit would have taken most of the day.
“Fu Shiyi, help me put these clothes away.”
When she had entered the clothing data, the recipient information had been recorded as well.
That was how Yunyang discovered that all the clothes had been bought by Fu Shiyi.
As expected, older men knew how to take care of someone.
In the kitchen, the five beast husbands had originally been getting along fairly harmoniously.
But when they heard Yunyang’s words and saw the pile of women’s clothes on the sofa, how could they not understand what had happened? They all turned to look at Fu Shiyi.
Fu Shiyi calmly adjusted his glasses. He first placed some sliced fruit on the coffee table, then carefully washed and dried his hands before walking over to the sofa to help Yunyang put away the clothes.
Yunyang ate fruit and tried on the clothes through her photobrain, completely unaffected by the open rivalry among her five beast husbands.
After she finished trying on the last outfit, the doorbell rang.
Yunyang did not even need to say anything. Taking advantage of being the closest, Rong Jin dashed over and opened the door.
“Yangyang!”
The moment You Lu entered, she made a beeline for Yunyang on the sofa.
“Yangyang, I have to tell you—I saw an incredibly beautiful outfit last night!”
She waved to Yu Wenxu, who immediately came over carrying a gift.
You Lu took it from him and stuffed it into Yunyang’s arms. “I thought it would look perfect on you, so I ordered it online. See if you like it.”
“Lulu, what kind of relationship do we have? Don’t bring me anything next time.”
Yunyang lowered her head and glanced at it. It was her favorite light blue.
“I love it. Thank you, Lulu.”
“I knew you’d like it.”
You Lu took the glass of water Yu Wenxu handed her and drank some before moving closer to Yunyang and lowering her voice.
“Yangyang, when you were purifying the males at the tower today, did you hear anything strange?”
Something strange?
Yunyang immediately thought of what Yun Shaoqi had told her before.
She carefully searched her memory, shook her head, and asked in return, “What kind of strange sound?”
“I can’t really describe it.” You Lu frowned. “It sounded like someone crying, but also like someone singing. In any case…it was a really unpleasant sound.”
“And what’s even stranger is that the contamination level of the male I was purifying had already dropped to seventy-five. But after that sound appeared, his contamination level rose back to ninety. He almost lost control.”
