Was Fuyuan’s genetic compatibility with her really 98%?
Yunyang was genuinely surprised.
Among her five beast husbands, only Pei Wenye had a higher compatibility with her than Fuyuan.
Fuyuan possessed an S-rank ability, and his genetic compatibility with her was incredibly high. No wonder the Federation Marriage Center had sent her a message asking for her opinion.
Yunyang did not hesitate for long.
Fuyuan was exactly her type, his ability could help restore her mental power, and his genetic compatibility with her was as high as 98%.
She was more than willing to take him as her beast husband.
As for Fuyuan’s age, she was not particularly curious.
Some special races among the beastmen did not age, and the merfolk were one of them.
Fuyuan looked only about twenty years old, and that was good enough for her.
After all, she was someone who judged people by their looks.
Yunyang tapped the light screen before her and replied:
【Willing.】
The sparrow beastman who received her response was fiercely envious.
That was Lady Yunyang, an S-rank female. What single male wouldn’t want to become Lady Yunyang’s beast husband?
And he had heard that Lady Yunyang currently had only five beast husbands. This successful match would make Fuyuan the sixth, and the difficulty of competing for her favor would be far lower than if he became another lady’s beast husband.
This mutated merman must have saved the entire Federation in his previous life.
While lamenting that he himself did not have such good luck, the sparrow beastman worked through the marriage system.
After replying to the Marriage Center, Yunyang was about to resume the video she had paused earlier.
Only then did she notice the friend request.
It had been sent sometime after four that afternoon.
That had been when she was with Xuan Yu…
Yunyang stopped herself from continuing that thought and leisurely accepted Fuyuan’s friend request.
【Federation Marriage Center: Fuyuan, your matching application has been accepted. Congratulations on establishing a marriage bond with Lady Yunyang. Please choose an auspicious date to go to Lady Yunyang’s side, and remember: protecting females is the first duty of every male in the Federation. We wish you a happy marriage~】
When Fuyuan received the message, he thought he must have read it wrong.
He had only applied to be matched with Lady Yunyang on a whim.
With the Federation’s absurdly disproportionate male-to-female ratio, the chances of a male successfully matching with the female he admired were less than one in ten thousand. He did not believe he would be the lucky one.
Fuyuan opened the message again, intending to read it more carefully.
That was when he noticed that Yunyang had accepted his friend request.
The merman in the pool leaped out of the water in excitement. At a loss, he opened the chat window.
He did not know what to say. After agonizing over it for a long while, he managed to type only four characters:
“Lady Yunyang.”
Just as he was about to send it, he suddenly opened the message from the Federation Marriage Center and read it carefully twice more.
Then he deleted those four characters and replaced them with another form of address.
【M-Mistress.】
Fuyuan thought he had agonized over it for a very long time.
But from Yunyang’s perspective, she had only just accepted his friend request when his message arrived.
She opened it, and one eyebrow rose.
He had adapted to his new title quite quickly.
Yunyang tapped the light screen.
【Tomorrow I’m taking your seniors to S28 Star for a trip. If you plan to move here, you’ll have to wait another week.】
It was already nine in the evening. The research institute had probably closed for the day.
They were also scheduled to leave first thing the next morning.
Yunyang had no intention of waiting. Her affection for Fuyuan was not yet enough to make her change her original plans.
After sending the message, she closed the chat window.
The main reason was that a certain impatient Little Panda had already begun knocking on her door.
Normally, aside from special circumstances, Yunyang would go to each of her beast husbands’ rooms herself…
So this time, she did not open the door remotely. Instead, she walked over in her Little Panda slippers.
As soon as the obstruction in front of her opened, Rong Jin, wrapped in nothing but a bath towel, appeared in her view.
The tips of the Little Panda’s hair were still dripping with water. Clearly, he had just finished bathing.
As he drew near, the damp warmth enveloped Yunyang.
“Mistress, would you like to go to my room?”
The Little Panda swayed the large tail he had deliberately exposed.
Yunyang did not pretend to be coy. She nodded openly.
Rong Jin immediately picked her up and carried her toward his room.
Meanwhile, at the genetic research institute, Fuyuan stared at the message Yunyang had sent him, utterly stunned.
Not only was Mistress taking her beast husbands on a trip, but she was also planning to stay there for a week?
If he could not move over tonight, he would not be able to see Mistress for an entire week.
The little figure in Fuyuan’s heart shook its head frantically.
A week was far too long. What if Mistress changed her mind and dissolved their marriage bond by then?
He did not want to be abandoned by Mistress!
Fuyuan opened the contacts on his optical computer.
Since his account had not changed, all his old contacts were still there, with only two new additions.
One was his Mistress.
The other was Yier, the head of the research institute.
Fuyuan did not care how late it was and immediately started a video call with Yier.
Yier had only just lain down and was trying to fall asleep when he answered with a face full of resentment.
“Fuyuan, this had better be important!”
Did he have any idea how rude it was to disturb someone’s sleep?
Fuyuan directly projected the message from the Marriage Center where Yier could see it.
“I successfully matched with Mistress. I’m leaving the research institute!”
Matched with whom?
Yier rubbed his eyes and stared at the message carefully.
Once he had read it clearly, he looked suspicious.
“Fuyuan, you didn’t forge this, did you?”
With the Federation’s advanced technology, falsifying a message was easy enough.
Of course, the Federation strictly prohibited such behavior.
Fuyuan’s expression remained calm and open.
“I wouldn’t do anything that violates Federation law.”
A male with that kind of criminal record would be unable to match with a female, and would not even be qualified to receive purification from one.
He was not insane. Why would he commit such an offense just to leave the research institute?
Yier also felt that Fuyuan probably did not have the nerve to do something like that.
However, he waved a hand.
“Lady Yunyang must be resting at this hour. Go tomorrow.”
Fuyuan insisted, “I’m leaving tonight.”
“You want to disturb Lady Yunyang’s rest?”
“I can wait outside her door until she wakes up. I won’t disturb her.”
Yier fell silent.
Was this male seriously a hopeless romantic?
As a single man, Yier could not understand it at all. But since he could not win an argument with Fuyuan, he resignedly changed his clothes and returned to the research institute.
There was nothing he could do. He was the only one with permission to open the pool where Fuyuan was confined.
He had truly dug this hole for himself.
When Yier hurried back to the research institute, he was still wearing a resentful expression, but he did not make things difficult for Fuyuan.
In fact, according to Federation regulations, Fuyuan was not allowed to leave the research institute until the second type of ability he had developed had been identified.
However, females ranked above Federation regulations.
Lady Yunyang knew what Fuyuan’s second ability was, and she was willing to establish a marriage bond with him. That proved that his second ability was not dangerous.
Under those circumstances, the research institute had no reason to continue detaining him.
Besides, Fuyuan had been issued a new optical computer. Under the computer’s monitoring, if his contamination level exceeded 95, the central terminal would arrange for someone to take him to the Purification Tower for supervision.
So Yier released him without hesitation. Before doing so, however, he checked Fuyuan’s contamination level according to procedure.
“Contamination level: 47. There’s no problem. Go find Lady Yunyang.”
Fuyuan left the Gene Research Institute at once, as though he had just been granted a reprieve.
