The starship sent to escort the two females back to Central Star arrived sometime after three in the afternoon.
Yunyang and You Lu had both gotten plenty of rest. Under Leo’s protection, along with a group of Federation soldiers, they headed for the T01 military spaceport.
Just as the leopard beastman had guessed, quite a few males seized this final opportunity to declare that they wanted to become the two females’ beast husbands.
One male after another came forward to confess his feelings.
Yunyang had originally wanted to say a few more words to Yun Shaoqi, but after seeing the males’ enthusiasm, she silently exchanged a glance with You Lu.
Yunyang: Run?
You Lu: Run!
The two reached an agreement and turned around at the same time, sprinting into the starship.
The males waiting in line to confess their feelings were stunned.
Yunyang and You Lu’s beast husbands took advantage of the opportunity to block the entrance.
Qin Mo looked at Leo. “Commander Leo, we’ll accompany our female lord back first.”
Leo nodded.
Only then did Qin Mo and the others enter the starship one after another.
Once the twenty Federation soldiers escorting the two females had boarded as well, the hatch slowly closed.
The males who hadn’t had time to confess their feelings were left heartbroken.
Amid the crowd, a tailless fox stood at Liang Yixiao’s feet, staring at the starship as it slowly powered up.
Even after the starship made its first jump and vanished from everyone’s sight, he continued staring in that direction.
The Federation soldiers at the military spaceport gradually returned to their base.
Liang Yixiao had just taken two steps with his fellow soldiers when he realized that someone was missing beside him.
He turned his head and saw that the little white fox was still standing there in a daze.
Had his soul followed Lady Yunyang away?
Liang Yixiao shook his head.
What a pity. A male without an ability was destined never to stand at Lady Yunyang’s side.
“Leon, let’s go.”
As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the little white fox by the scruff.
Leonardo’s ears drooped, and he looked completely listless.
Meanwhile, aboard the starship…
You Lu sprawled across a single-seat sofa and invited her, “Yah-yah, it’ll still be several hours before we reach Central Star. Why don’t you stay at my place tonight?”
The gazes of her eleven beast husbands, including Yu Wenxu, shifted slightly.
If their female lord invited Lady Yunyang to stay over, wouldn’t that mean they couldn’t attend to their female lord tonight?
Yunyang didn’t notice the expressions on You Lu’s beast husbands’ faces, but she also felt that it wouldn’t be appropriate.
She had five beast husbands with her. Even if You Lu didn’t mind, she couldn’t completely disregard their feelings.
“I’d better not trouble you. It’s only a two-hour trip from Central Star to X92 Star.”
You Lu didn’t insist. “All right, then. Next time we get the chance, I’ll invite you to my place.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, Lu Lu, what about that…”
With You Lu’s beast husbands nearby, Yunyang didn’t say Nan Meng’s name aloud.
But now that they had already left T01 Star, why hadn’t You Lu mentioned him at all?
“You mean Nan Meng?” You Lu clearly didn’t care what her beast husbands thought. “He said he has to return to his clan first. After that, he’ll come to Central Star to find me.”
Nan Meng was naturally willing to become You Lu’s beast husband.
However, they had been invited to T01 Star to help with the investigation and hadn’t prepared anything, so he needed to go home and get everything ready first.
Yunyang understood, so she didn’t ask any further.
Over the next few hours, she and You Lu browsed the StarNet and chatted, then ate a meal together before returning to their respective rooms.
The starship was large, but it didn’t have many private rooms.
You Lu directly took her eleven beast husbands into one room.
Yunyang looked around, then simply had her five beast husbands come into her room with her.
For the convenience of females, the rooms aboard the starship had excellent soundproofing. Once the door was closed, Yunyang couldn’t even hear the sound of the starship’s engines.
What was more, the room was spacious enough that she and her five beast husbands didn’t feel crowded.
There was just one problem: the room had only one bed.
The five beast husbands noticed this as well.
Xuan Yu was the first to speak. “Female lord, who do you want to sleep beside you?”
The other four beast husbands also turned to look at Yunyang.
For their female lord to sleep comfortably, only one of them could sleep on the bed with her. The rest would have to make do on the floor.
Of course, every one of them wanted to be the one chosen.
Yunyang looked at her beast husbands, each one taller and more imposing than the last, and suddenly had a mischievous idea.
“All of you sleep with me.”
The five beast husbands: !
They had only just begun to get excited when Yunyang added, “In beast form.”
The five beast husbands: “…”
Female lord, was it really necessary to leave out half the sentence until the end?
Still, they all wanted to be as close to their female lord as possible, so her suggestion was actually quite good.
Rong Jin’s eyes shifted. He reached out and placed a hand on Yunyang’s shoulder. “Female lord, let me serve you while you bathe first. I’ll turn into my beast form afterward and accompany you to rest!”
How could the other four rivals possibly let him have such a good opportunity?
“Female lord, let me do it instead.”
Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Yunyang raised an eyebrow. “I’ll wash by myself today.”
The bathroom couldn’t fit so many people. If she let one of the beast husbands in alone, she didn’t trust herself not to let something happen.
Whether the beast husbands could resist temptation or not, she knew she certainly couldn’t.
The five exchanged glances before compromising.
“All right. If you need anything, just call for us, female lord.”
Yunyang nodded, took the pajamas Fu Shiyi handed her, and walked into the bathroom.
After she finished bathing, the five beast husbands took turns washing as well. Then they each transformed into their beast forms and shrank themselves down before lying on the bed with her.
Yunyang had seen the three furry beast forms plenty of times, and Pei Wenye also occasionally transformed into his black wyrm form.
Fu Shiyi, however, was different. Other than in his mental landscape, this was the first time Yunyang had seen his beast form.
The miniature golden-winged roc looked like a tiny golden sparrow. Without its usual majesty, it was nothing but adorable.
She reached out and rubbed the golden-winged roc’s head with her index finger.
Its feathers were soft and smooth, and although they couldn’t compare to the three furry beast forms, they felt wonderful in their own way.
After she withdrew her hand, the miniature golden-winged roc flew onto her lap. Then it plucked the most beautiful golden feather from its own wing and placed it in her palm.
Even the miniature golden-winged roc’s feathers were miniature.
Yunyang remembered seeing an educational post about avian beastmen on the StarNet. It said that when bird beastmen gave a female their most beautiful feather, it was a sign that they were courting her.
Although the golden-winged roc was a roc rather than an ordinary bird, the meaning should be more or less the same, right?
With that thought, Yunyang carefully pinched the feather between her fingers and placed it in her spatial button.
“I really like it. Thank you.”
The golden-winged roc rubbed its little head against her palm.
When the other four little beasts noticed the golden-winged roc secretly currying favor with Yunyang again, they gathered around as well.
Their scales and fur weren’t suitable gifts, so they had to think of other ways.
The black wyrm wrapped the tip of its tail around Yunyang’s wrist like a bracelet.
The frost wolf and the red panda used their large tails as a blanket for her.
The white tiger leaned over and gently licked Yunyang’s palm with its rough, barbed tongue.
Yunyang’s eyes curved with laughter as the licking tickled her.
“Stop fooling around. That tickles~”
Qin Mo was well-behaved. He quickly stopped and rubbed his tiger head against her cheek instead.
Yunyang played around with the five little beasts for a while before lying down to sleep.
The five little beasts also settled down, snuggling into her arms as they accompanied her to sleep.
However, half an hour later, a certain little “sparrow” quietly rubbed against Yunyang’s cheek.
Yunyang opened her eyes groggily and heard a voice that only she and the little “sparrow” could hear.
Her face suddenly grew hot.
