First-floor living room.
It was almost noon, yet Yunyang and Pei Wenye still hadn’t come downstairs. The other four beast husbands could easily guess what had happened.
That Black Flood Dragon really had no sense of restraint!
Although the beast husbands secretly cursed Pei Wenye in their hearts, they also knew that if they had drawn the winning lot last night, they probably would have been just like him.
Why hadn’t any of them won last night?
The four beast husbands sighed inwardly as they took out their insect cores and began absorbing them.
Because she had worked herself too hard during her morning training, Yunyang slept until three in the afternoon.
Pei Wenye had been guarding her the entire time. The moment he saw her open her eyes, he immediately leaned over and rubbed his face against hers ingratiatingly.
“Female Master, are you hungry? Would you like to go downstairs and eat?”
His rivals had surely prepared lunch long ago and kept it warm for them.
Yunyang nodded and reached out to him.
The nutrient drink that morning had been too sweet, so she hadn’t drunk much. Now that she was awake, she was genuinely hungry.
Pei Wenye helped straighten her clothes, then carried her downstairs to eat.
It was a rare day off. After lunch, Yunyang changed clothes and took her beast husbands out for a stroll.
She had wanted to invite You Lu as well, but You Lu hadn’t replied to her messages.
So Yunyang could only wander around the First Legion’s base on her own.
The Federation’s border planets had no native inhabitants, so every Federation military base was enormous.
To explore one completely in a single day, they would have needed a flyer or a small warship.
But Yunyang only wanted to kill some time, so she didn’t ask the guards to arrange transportation.
·
Because of the shift change, the members of the guard unit’s main team were resting during the day.
Liang Yixiao remembered that he had promised Leonardo he would take him to see Leo at the central control tower after the afternoon training session.
Unfortunately, Leo was busy contacting the commanders of the other Federation armies and had no time to meet them.
After leaving the central control tower, Liang Yixiao lowered his head and looked at the little white fox by his feet.
“Leon, don’t be sad. Commander Lei Ou is always this busy.”
“I’m on daytime rotation these next few days. I’ll bring you here again after training tomorrow morning. I promise you’ll get to see Commander Lei Ou.”
Leonardo flicked his ears to show that he understood.
Liang Yixiao grinned. “Then let’s go back.”
Residential Area 9 was the closest residential area to the central control tower, and naturally, it was also nearest to Yunyang and You Lu’s residences.
As Liang Yixiao led Leonardo toward Residential Area 9, he happened to run into Yunyang returning with all her beast husbands and members of the guard unit.
Liang Yixiao stopped and hurriedly straightened his clothes.
Then he addressed Yunyang, “Good afternoon, Lady Yunyang.”
“Good afternoon.”
Yunyang remembered Liang Yixiao. He was a member of the guard unit’s main team.
If he hadn’t been able to understand that tailless fox’s words before, they might not have found Brother Shaoqi in time.
Thinking of that, Yunyang stopped and lowered her gaze to the little tailless fox by Liang Yixiao’s feet.
“Is he the same tailless fox from last time?”
After the little fox, previously covered in blood, had been washed clean, its fur was fluffy and glossy. Its large ears, with the faintest hint of green, were especially irresistible to anyone who loved furry creatures.
What a pity that there were no ordinary animals in the stars.
In essence, this little fox was an unfamiliar male.
Yunyang knew that, so she restrained her urge to pet him.
Sensing the female’s gaze on him, Leonardo tensed.
She was looking at him.
Would she, like those people, think that his beast form was ugly?
“Yes, Lady Yunyang.” Liang Yixiao was a little excited by her response. “His name is Leonardo now.”
The little white fox flicked his ears at the sound of his name, then stood there with his head held high.
He looked unbelievably well-behaved.
Yunyang forced herself to look away.
This was too much. He was far too cute.
If she kept looking, she was afraid she might end up harassing a male in public.
The five beast husbands had noticed long ago that their female master’s attention had been captured by the little white fox.
They didn’t dare criticize their female master, so they merely shot Leonardo a few warning glares.
Leonardo paid no attention to their threats. But when he noticed Yunyang looking away, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes.
As expected, a female wouldn’t like a tailless fox like him.
Liang Yixiao didn’t notice Leonardo’s reaction.
It was getting late, and he was afraid of delaying Yunyang’s return for dinner, so he didn’t say much more before bidding her farewell.
Seeing that Yunyang’s attention had been completely stolen by the little white fox, Rong Jin was the first to transform into his beast form.
“Female Master, am I not cute?” The Little Panda raised both front paws.
Among their kind, this gesture had originally been meant to frighten enemies.
But during ancient times, one of their ancestors discovered that females loved the gesture and thought they were acting cute.
From then on, the Little Panda clan began using it to charm females.
And it turned out that their ancestor had been right.
The moment Yunyang saw him like this, she instantly forgot all about the little fox. She reached out and pulled the Little Panda into her arms.
When it came to fluffy creatures, her own were of course the best. She could pet and cuddle them whenever she wanted!
Yunyang carried the Little Panda in her arms all the way home, making Qin Mo and Xuan Yu green with envy.
Once they returned to their residence, the two of them also transformed into their furry beast forms, shrank themselves down, and squeezed into Yunyang’s arms.
Fu Shiyi and Pei Wenye, whose beast forms had no advantage in this situation, exchanged a glance before turning and heading into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Even though their female master hadn’t said she was hungry yet, they needed to get the food ready in advance.
Yunyang sat in the living room and opened the Star Network. She browsed while petting each of her furry beast husbands in turn.
Perhaps because the system knew how much she liked fluffy creatures, the Star Network’s homepage recommended several videos about furry males today.
Yunyang watched them with great interest, while the three beast husbands surrounding her grew increasingly jealous.
What were they supposed to do if their female master liked fluffy creatures too much?
Rong Jin’s jealousy eventually sparked an idea.
He swept his enormous tail against Yunyang’s arm, his round, bright eyes fixed on her.
“Female Master, how about I serve you tonight?”
Yunyang was absorbed in the videos on the Star Network and didn’t hear what Rong Jin had said. She was just about to agree automatically when Qin Mo reminded her, “Female Master, aren’t you drawing lots today?”
Only then did Yunyang’s attention return.
She glanced at the Little Panda’s mischievous tail, gave it a vigorous rub, and sent the lottery link to the contact group as usual.
“Pei Wenye isn’t allowed to participate today.”
After dropping that sentence, Yunyang went back to watching videos.
In the kitchen, Pei Wenye had just been about to join the lottery. He silently exited the lottery page.
Fu Shiyi was busy stir-frying and didn’t participate right away either.
Beast forms could operate their optical brains as well, so the three furry creatures didn’t transform back into human form. They stayed pressed against Yunyang as they began drawing lots.
Before long, the Little Panda bounced onto Yunyang’s lap in excitement and showed her his lottery page.
“Female Master, it’s me! I won!”
The white tiger and frost wolf gave the Little Panda a long, resentful look.
Damn it! Why was it never them?
