After having his optical brain reinstalled, the assets Fuyuan had once owned were returned to his name.
The first thing he did was transfer 99 percent of those assets to Yunyang. Only then did he rent a small starship and head for Residential District No. 3.
The address came from the information provided by the Federal Marriage Center. At a normal speed, it would take more than ten minutes to get there by starship.
Fuyuan, however, managed to land outside Residential District No. 3 in just ten minutes.
He threw open the hatch, paid the rental fee, and hurried into the residential district.
Naturally, the security in a female’s residential district was top of the line. But the Federal Marriage Center had worked quickly enough to change Fuyuan’s identity to Yunyang’s husband, so the security system did not stop him.
Fuyuan walked all the way to the outside of Yunyang’s villa.
He raised his hand and glanced at the time.
It was already past ten at night. At this hour, his female was either resting or…
Fuyuan didn’t dare disturb her. Instead, he found a spot outside the villa and sat down.
Inside the villa, Butler Robot No. 1, which had been in standby mode, detected an outsider and immediately went upstairs.
Outside Rong Jin’s room, its mechanical arm was just about to press the doorbell when a hand stopped it.
Butler No. 1 turned its head. Seeing that it was its master’s husband, it deactivated its defensive mode.
“Husband Fu, there is a visitor. Shall I open the door?”
A string of code flashed across the butler’s electronic eyes. A moment later, the scene outside the villa appeared on the light screen.
Fu Shiyi glanced at it once, then turned off the screen.
“No need. Don’t disturb the female master.”
“Understood, Husband Fu.”
Butler No. 1 accepted the command and withdrew. Fu Shiyi returned to the room as well.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window that occupied an entire wall, the gray curtains had been drawn open just a narrow crack, allowing strands of light to spill through.
Fu Shiyi stood before the window and looked down at the figure sitting outside the villa’s entrance.
His new romantic rival.
The fact that this mutated merperson had appeared here meant that he had probably already become the female master’s husband in name.
Fu Shiyi naturally wasn’t going to stop him. It was just that…
When it came to a new romantic rival, he simply couldn’t bring himself to be considerate.
A mutated merperson with an SS-rank ability should be able to withstand a night of cold wind without any trouble.

The next morning, Yunyang ate the breakfast Fu Shiyi and Xuan Yu had prepared with great care, then set off for Planet S28 with her five husbands.
She had never imagined that Fuyuan would make it there. Thus, when she saw the tall figure huddled by the corner outside, she was so startled that she took a step back.
Fu Shiyi caught her as though he had expected it.
Only after steadying herself did Yunyang look toward the person who had already raised his head.
Her other four husbands looked over as well.
Xuan Yu’s expression darkened. “Why are you here?”
Qin Mo explained in a stern voice, “Illegally entering a female’s residential district violates Article Eleven of the Federal Female Protection Act. The offender will receive at least six months of supervised custody.”
Rong Jin and Pei Wenye looked just as unwelcoming.
Although they had accepted their female master taking another husband, the marriage hadn’t even been completed yet. So how had this Dead Fish already come looking for her?
Could he have found out that their female master was going to Planet S28 for a vacation and deliberately come after her?
Fuyuan completely ignored the reactions of his rivals. He tilted his head up and looked pitifully at Yunyang.
“Female master…”
“Who’s your female master?” Rong Jin wrapped both arms around Yunyang’s arm. “You can drink nutritional supplements recklessly, but you can’t just say whatever you want!”
Yunyang felt that if she didn’t speak up, her five husbands might join forces to drive Fuyuan away.
She cleared her throat and announced, “Fuyuan applied for a match through the Federal Marriage Center yesterday. He’s already my husband.”
The four husbands: “…”
They had been with their female master all day yesterday. How had they somehow ended up with a new romantic rival?
Once he received official recognition, Fuyuan scrambled to his feet and smiled at Yunyang.
“Female master, aren’t you going to Planet S28 for a vacation? I’m familiar with the place. Take me with you, please?”
Only then did Yunyang remember that Planet S28 was one of the two ocean planets in the S Star Cluster.
Both ocean planets had branches of the merperson race, and Fuyuan was a merperson himself. Naturally, he would be more familiar with the place.
Yunyang nodded. “Then put on some clothes first.”
Fuyuan lowered his head in confusion. Wasn’t he already wearing clothes?
Although… he was only wearing a skirt.
But to the merperson race, this was already a very formal outfit. After all, when they were in the ocean, it was practically the same as wearing nothing at all—their scales didn’t count as clothing.
Fuyuan thought he looked perfectly fine.
But he didn’t dare disobey his female master. After glancing at his five rivals, all dressed formally, he silently pulled out a garment made of merperson silk and wrapped himself up tightly.
Yunyang nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand grandly. “Let’s go!”
Since Yunyang had accepted Fuyuan as her husband and was willing to bring him along to Planet S28, her five husbands were no longer particularly opposed.
At the end of the day, their female master’s happiness was what mattered most.
The six husbands surrounded Yunyang as they left the residential district in a grand procession.
Planet S28 was some distance from Planet X92, though it wasn’t as far away as Planet T01.
Yunyang took a nap aboard the starship. When she woke up, they had already arrived at the spaceport on Planet S28.
Before departing, Yunyang had sent a message to the Planet S28 Tourism Bureau. The bureau immediately arranged for someone to meet her at the spaceport.
As the hatch of her starship opened, several scantily dressed males swayed their hips and came forward to greet her.
“Esteemed Lady Yunyang, welcome to Planet S28~”
Their voices were so seductive that every sentence seemed to sway three times, with the final syllables filled with countless little hooks.
Yunyang decided that if her own husbands ever adopted the mannerisms of these males, she would definitely become a depraved female master.
Seeing the males dressed in nothing but strips of cloth, all six husbands’ expressions darkened in perfect unison.
Yunyang had no time to soothe her husbands. She openly swept her gaze over the abs the males were deliberately exposing before saying, “Take me to the accommodations arranged by the tourism bureau.”
“As you command, Lady Yunyang~”
The dolphin beastman in the lead winked at her before taking them aboard the starship arranged by the tourism bureau.
Once they were aboard, the group of males still refused to behave. One served tea, another poured water, and every movement was clearly meant to seduce Yunyang.
The six husbands could no longer stand it.
Rong Jin shoved aside the male who was pouring water. “Female master, they’re getting handsy. I’ll serve you instead~”
Xuan Yu brought out the fruit he had prepared earlier. “Female master, let me feed you some grapes~”
Qin Mo flicked his tiger ears. As he massaged Yunyang’s legs, he asked, “Female master, would you like to touch my tiger ears?”
Fu Shiyi and Pei Wenye glanced at the males who were preparing to massage Yunyang’s shoulders.
The silent warning from two SS-rank ability users frightened the males so badly that they immediately pulled their hands back.
Fuyuan looked at his five rivals, then at the males striking seductive poses. Without hesitation, he joined the battle.
He pushed aside the dolphin beastman and began massaging Yunyang’s other leg. “Female master, is this pressure comfortable?”
The six husbands surrounded Yunyang completely, leaving those males no opportunity to seduce her.
The males could only seethe silently, unable to say a word.
In terms of abilities, Lady Yunyang’s husbands were all S-rank or SS-rank.
In terms of status and position, how could they compare with Lady Yunyang’s legitimate husbands?
All they could do was stand quietly to one side.
As Yunyang enjoyed her husbands’ attentive service, she didn’t forget to rummage through her spatial storage bracelet and toss a jade token to Fuyuan.
Fuyuan continued kneading her leg with one hand while taking the jade token with the other to examine it.
There was nothing unusual on the back, but the front was carved with the image of a merperson.
He immediately widened his eyes as if he had been struck by a delightful surprise. “Female Master, is this a token of our love?”
