At the banquet, Lin Mu Ci amazed everyone, and discussions about her on the central planet never ceased.
No one knew where this female beast came from, but almost everyone harbored a common thought.
This female beast—
was truly peerless, captivating.
During the banquet, Lin Mu Ci held a cup of milk, sipping it slowly. Milk stains appeared on the corners of her lips, unnoticed by her. With her eyes slightly downcast, under the light, her long lashes fluttered, making her as beautiful as a princess from a fairytale.
Her face was exquisitely delicate.
Pure and lovely, so cute she seemed untouchable.
Yang Lan Yan looked back at her from time to time, his gaze lost in a daze. She drank the milk in small sips, then looked up and asked.
“Is there more?”
Yang Lan Yan had more brought to her.
She looked so docile drinking milk.
Yang Lan Yan was very curious; before her differentiation period, she must have been a very, very adorable little beast.
What would she have been like then?
She said she grew up in prison. That scoundrel Ling Kuang, he didn't know how much he abused her. Even this little bit of milk, she treated it like a treasure, drinking it so preciously.
Lin Mu Ci was unaware that Ling Kuang was being fiercely cursed in Yang Lan Yan’s heart.
After finishing the milk, Lin Mu Ci ate two more small pastries, then nodded contentedly. After Yang Lan Yan escorted her back, he returned to the council, only to find someone waiting for him outside the council doors.
He raised his head coldly.
“Something wrong?”
Before him stood a man in military uniform, exuding an unruly aura.
This man had pure red hair. As he looked up at Yang Lan Yan, a faint smile played in his eyes, but it was distant, clearly not reaching his eyes. He extended a hand and casually brushed a badge on his shoulder, which was unmistakably a nine-star emblem, symbolizing the highest honor in the galaxy!
This man was not old.
However, like Yang Lan Yan, he was a significant figure on the central planet, representing the military’s power!
Yang Lan Yan was an executive officer of the council.
And he was the youngest nine-star general in the military!
His name was Alteus.
He curved his lips into a smile, his eyes on Yang Lan Yan devoid of fear or respect, instead displaying a touch of recklessness.
He spoke.
“I want to talk to you about that female beast. How about it?”
Yang Lan Yan frowned, looking at the other man, his tone immediately turning cold.
“What do you want to do?”
“I warn you, your underhanded schemes are absolutely not to be used on that female beast. I have already prepared the best security team for her, Alteus, you won't succeed!”
The nine-star general named Alteus, his red hair shone brilliantly in the sunlight, but even so, his eyes were more dazzling than his fiery red hair. He smiled and watched Yang Lan Yan before him, and then Yang Lan Yan heard him say.
“We are old acquaintances. Let’s be frank, I want to know where you got that female beast from?”
As he asked, he raised an eyebrow, his gaze clearly showing a hint of inquiry.
“A female beast like that should have been noticed by your council before her differentiation period.”
“Given the rarity of female beasts, you would have protected her long ago.”
“And our military would not have received any information about it.”
“Where exactly did she appear from… or is this all a hoax, and the claim of super fertility is entirely false? There is no such powerful female beast?”
“You just found a girl with unparalleled beauty, and then… faked it all?”
The man looked at Yang Lan Yan with a half-smile.
“Your council fabricating such a lie to deceive the entire central planet, have you considered the consequences if the truth is revealed?”
“You will lose the trust of all the strong individuals on the entire central planet!”
“And our military will no longer trust you either.”
Yang Lan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the man before him and said something that greatly surprised the other man.
He spoke.
“It’s true. She is a female beast with true super fertility. We’ve tested her, and the results are all real.”
“I can understand your doubts.”
“You question why this girl has super fertility, yet your council never announced her existence before. But that’s because our council didn’t know of her existence back then.”
Yang Lan Yan gave a wry smile and said.
“If I had known of her existence, I would never have let her suffer even the slightest hardship.”
“I met her for the first time on the Galactic Battlefield, and she told me that she spent her time in the Eighth Prison before her differentiation period!”
“I was extremely surprised, unable to comprehend how a female beast could grow up in the Eighth Prison. I specifically mobilized the records upon my return, and only then did I understand the whole story.”
“She was caught in the war between the Cang Hai Empire and the Yun Jing Federation. Her mother died, and she was sent to the Eighth Prison by the Cang Hai Empire. At that time, she was just a female beast who hadn't differentiated, her talents hadn't manifested, and no genetic tests had been done, so naturally, no one paid attention.”
“Later, her father, Marshal Ji Feng of the Yun Jing Federation, found her and wanted to take her away. But they encountered an attack from the Cang Hai Empire en route, and she was caught in a spatial storm, drifting to the Galactic Battlefield.”
“And on the Galactic Battlefield, due to some unforeseen circumstances… she was transported to that Steel City, which no one is allowed to enter.”
“The special existence in that Steel City sent her to the central planet.”
“That’s why you feel she appeared out of nowhere, with no prior news of this female beast.”
“Because she has indeed never appeared in the outside world. Let alone your military, even our council was unaware of her existence before.”
“And the only entity aware of this female beast’s existence was the Eighth Prison.”
The red-haired youth’s expression instantly turned grim. He snorted, his demeanor displeased, as if recalling some unpleasant memories.
“The Eighth Prison where that guy is?”
“What incredible luck Ling Kuang has to have a female beast in his Eighth Prison?”
“Could it be that this female beast spent her differentiation period in the Eighth Prison?”
Yang Lan Yan could only offer a wry smile.
“Ling Kuang indeed has good luck.”
“When he agreed to go to the Galactic Battlefield with us, it was only because he wanted to use our council’s power to search for this female beast. He never expected us to run into this female beast on the Galactic Battlefield!”
Yang Lan Yan was silent for a moment, then he said.
“Ling Kuang has fallen for her.”
The red-haired man’s expression became even uglier. He scowled, his face cold. After a long while, he let out a sneer, his voice extremely cold, almost freezing into ice. He said without hesitation.
“He’s dreaming!”
“No matter who gets this female beast, it won’t be Ling Kuang!”
“With his lowly background, how can he deserve to compete with us for a female beast?”
“This female beast can go to anyone, but never to that arrogant, haughty Ling Kuang!”
“Let’s not say anything else. Since this female beast was in the Eighth Prison before, perhaps she’s already had some dealings with Ling Kuang. If that’s the case, it will be difficult for us to win her heart.”
“Female beasts are inherently loyal.”
“If this female beast is already Ling Kuang’s female beast, why should we bother trying to please her?”
“In my opinion, we might as well just kidnap this female beast and force her to have children for us. She has super fertility, after all.”
“As long as we get her, why worry about descendants?”
His words exuded a ruthless decisiveness!
“Kidnap her, hide her away, and force her to bear children for us, that would be better than anything else!”
