The Little Sparrow opened her mental landscape.
Blushing, Yunyang released her mental energy.
Only after seeing Fu Shiyi’s spirit form did she ask in a small voice, “They’re all outside. Isn’t this a little inappropriate?”
Although no one outside could see what was happening inside the mental landscape, she still had a strange feeling…
As if she were cheating on the others right in front of them.
Fu Shiyi lowered his head.
A wet, heated sensation climbed up Yunyang’s earlobe.
“I want my mistress to pamper me.”
He grabbed Yunyang’s hand and pressed it against his abs.
Yunyang instinctively squeezed them. The feel of Fu Shiyi’s abdominal muscles was as good as ever.
She turned her face away with an affected air. “Then I suppose I’ll reluctantly grant your wish.”
Fu Shiyi chuckled and kissed her lips.
After a long, lingering kiss, he rested his forehead against hers and murmured, “Thank you for giving me a chance, Mistress. I promise I’ll perform well.”
Yunyang: “…”
Fu Shiyi had learned bad habits!
…No, that wasn’t right. When it came to certain things, he had never learned anything good in the first place.
Fu Shiyi—the man who had never learned to behave—scooped her up and found the corner with the best surroundings in the mental landscape.
Outside the mental landscape, the Tiger Cub seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and glanced at Yunyang.
Seeing that Yunyang’s eyes were still closed and that the four other rivals were all behaving themselves, he closed his eyes again and burrowed deeper into Yunyang’s arms.
After the Tiger Cub, the wolf cub, Little Panda, and Little Black Flood Dragon also opened their eyes one after another to check on their rivals.
Only after confirming that none of them had secretly tried to “seduce” their mistress did the four little ones close their eyes in peace.
Little did they know that a certain Golden-winged Roc had already succeeded in seducing Yunyang.
The mental landscape was ablaze with passion.
Fu Shiyi calculated the time remaining before the spacecraft landed and only allowed himself to perform twice.
When Yunyang withdrew from his mental landscape and opened her eyes, the four little ones were already nestled in her arms.
Her entire body felt hot, but she still pretended to be calm, closing her eyes and making the most of the remaining time to rest.
Another half hour passed. The spacecraft made its final jump and began preparing to land.
It was nearly four in the morning by then.
Judging that the time was right, Fu Shiyi returned to human form and stood guard beside the bed.
Once the spacecraft touched down, he took a thermal blanket from his spatial button and draped it over Yunyang. Then, he carefully lifted her into his arms.
Yunyang didn’t wake up. She merely snuggled deeper into his embrace.
Only then did Fu Shiyi look toward the four rivals.
They were all ability users, so the four little ones had awakened the moment Yunyang was carried away. By now, they had also successively taken human form.
Afraid of waking Yunyang, the four of them didn’t fight Fu Shiyi for her. They simply followed him out of the room.
Robots would clean the room and replace anything that needed changing, so there was no need for them to worry about it.
Just as the five husbands stepped out of the room, the door to the one beside it opened as well.
Yu Wenxu emerged carrying You Lu, followed by her other ten husbands.
Fu Shiyi exchanged a glance with him.
Expressions that only the two of them could understand appeared in both their eyes.
Yu Wenxu looked at the other four and lowered his voice. “I’m taking my mistress home first, so I won’t see you off.”
Qin Mo and the other three nodded one after another.
Their relationship wasn’t close enough for that.
If not for the fact that their mistress and Lord Yulu were good friends, they would never have had any dealings with Lord Yulu’s eleven husbands.
At most, they were mere acquaintances.
The two groups disembarked from the spacecraft one after the other. Since they had arrived at Central Star, the twenty federal soldiers did not continue following them.
JF-129 had not applied for a route from Central Star to X92, so even if they had wanted to escort Lady Yunyang, they could not do so.
In the darkness of night, the two small spacecraft flew off in different directions.
·
Yunyang and her five husbands transferred to their private spacecraft bound for X92 Star. At this hour, there was usually no one aboard.
But when the cabin door opened, the five husbands saw a female resting in the public area.
The beastman population was astonishingly large. Thus, even though the ratio of females to males was severely imbalanced, females were not actually few in number.
But the female before them was different from ordinary females. She was surrounded by more than a dozen males.
She was the Federation’s other S-rank mentalist, Chu Zhiwei.
The three S-rank officers were all famous throughout the Federation, especially Chu Zhiwei, the first person in nearly two hundred years to awaken S-rank mental power.
It could be said that there was not a single beastman in the Federation who didn’t know of her, male or female.
Out of respect for the female, the five husbands inclined their heads slightly toward her.
Chu Zhiwei recognized Qin Mo and Fu Shiyi and opened her mouth to respond, but then she noticed the sleeping Yunyang in the former’s arms.
She closed her mouth and merely nodded at the two of them in a friendly manner.
Neither side paid much attention to the brief encounter.
Two hours later, the spacecraft landed at X92 Starport.
The five husbands transferred to their own small spacecraft and returned from the starport to Residential District 3.
By the time they arrived outside their villa, it was already seven in the morning.
The sky was bright. When Yunyang was carried off the spacecraft, she only frowned slightly before a hand covered her eyes.
Seeing the tension leave Yunyang’s brow, Pei Wenye and Fu Shiyi carried her back to the bedroom together.
Yunyang slept until after ten.
When she woke, she was already in her familiar room.
Yunyang stretched lazily.
Her own bed was still the most comfortable.
Although the accommodations on T01 Star were quite good, they couldn’t compare with home.
Yunyang took her time getting up and washing, remembering to message Yun Shaoqi and You Lu to let them know she was safe.
Only then did she start replying to her unread messages one by one.
That was when she noticed she had another unread friend request.
Her optical computer automatically displayed the sender’s information, so the name Yunyang saw was three large characters:
Chu Zhiwei.
Yunyang had seen and heard this name countless times.
However, Chu Zhiwei had previously been assisting at the Third Army’s base and had never returned to the Federation.
Yunyang was a little puzzled. She had never met Chu Zhiwei, so why had Chu Zhiwei suddenly added her as a friend?
Could You Lu have recommended her?
You Lu and Chu Zhiwei naturally kept in contact.
Because of that connection, Yunyang didn’t hesitate for long before accepting the request.
Next, she opened the group chat with her five husbands. Two of them had sent messages that morning.
[Fu Shiyi: Mistress, remember to come downstairs for breakfast when you wake up.]
[Qin Mo: There are soup dumplings for breakfast. [Image]]
It seemed that Qin Mo and Fu Shiyi had prepared breakfast today.
At the sight of the soup dumplings in the picture Qin Mo had sent, Yunyang’s stomach rumbled traitorously.
She quickly changed into loungewear, then headed downstairs in the Little Panda slippers Rong Jin had bought for her.
All five husbands were in the living room. Qin Mo and Fu Shiyi were handling work matters, while Xuan Yu, Rong Jin, and Pei Wenye were absorbing insect cores nearby.
The moment Yunyang’s bedroom door opened, all five husbands noticed and looked over.
Rong Jin immediately spotted the Little Panda slippers.
He had deliberately chosen ones that most resembled his beast form, complete with a tail.
When she walked, the Little Panda’s ears and tail swayed back and forth, making them look almost real.
Rong Jin was delighted.
Qin Mo was the first to approach her.
“Mistress, breakfast is still warm on the table. Shall I carry you over?”
Afraid of starting a quarrel among her husbands, Yunyang declined his offer and walked to the dining table herself. She sat down and picked up a soup dumpling, gently biting it open.
Just as she tasted it, the optical computer on her wrist gave a soft buzz.
