Chapter 21: Only He Could Cuddle with Yun Fu

Su Nianwei was about to burst with anger.

How could Yun Fu’s F-rank worthless female psychic power possibly soothe Lu Shiling?

Su Nianwei didn’t believe it for a second, thinking those words were deliberately meant to embarrass her.

Not daring to confront Lu Shiling directly, she swallowed her anger and shifted her target.

“Yun Fu, I know you always want to compete with me in everything, but soothing is no small matter. How can you deceive Officer Lu? If it delays his treatment and causes his psychic power to collapse, there won’t be a chance to save him.”

Qing Ze, seeing that Yun Fu ignored him just as before without even glancing his way, felt uneasy but spoke up as well.

“Now’s not the time to be willful. Weiwei’s psychic power is stronger; it’s best if she soothes Officer Lu.”

Yun Fu was utterly annoyed—these two were like flies buzzing incessantly, making her head ache.

“If you’re so good at lecturing, why don’t you go apply for a teaching position and vent your educational insights?”

“Who said low psychic power can’t soothe? If you’re that uninformed, maybe you should read more books.”

Lu Shiling watched Yun Fu retort sharply, not finding her fierce at all. Instead, the slight lift of her chin and the delicate expression on her face made his gaze soften, and he sided with her.

[Why is the supporting female so aggressive towards Weiwei? Weiwei’s eyes are red already.]

[Honestly, Weiwei deserves it. The fox won’t let her soothe, so she goes after the fox. Why blame the supporting female? Her words drip with passive aggression.]

[Weiwei thought the supporting female was causing trouble because she always competed with her before.]

[What happened before is before. Focusing on this, the female lead shouldn’t have scolded the supporting female.]

[With the fox treating the female lead like this, where is the story heading? Can the female lead really win over these four beast husbands?]

[Why is no one mentioning how agitated those beast men were just now? And it happened right when the supporting female entered—what a coincidence.]

Lu Shiling glanced at Su Nianwei.

Is she really the female lead?

What kind of eyes do these people have? Compared to Su Nianwei, Yun Fu was better in every way. How could she be just a supporting character?

After finishing speaking, Yun Fu ignored the two and took a bottle of perfume from her space pocket, asking Warren:

“The perfume is ready. If the agency wants to buy, I have a batch available for sale.”

Warren, who had just been thinking about how to persuade the two females to stop arguing, was surprised when he heard this and saw the perfume in Yun Fu’s hand.

“Already finished?”

“Qin Min provided the materials, so it was much easier.” With the female lead around, Yun Fu vaguely hinted without explicitly saying she made the perfume herself.

She didn’t get along with Su Nianwei and only wanted to sell some perfume, then upgrade the beast men’s mesmerizing aura. She didn’t want to create trouble if things didn’t succeed.

Warren happily took the perfume and immediately went to test it on the agitated beast men from earlier.

Though Lu Shiling had subdued them with psychic power, they remained restless, clinging to the protective wall and staring longingly toward Yun Fu like hungry dogs. They hadn’t hidden away.

Seeing Warren approach with Yun Fu’s perfume, the beasts’ keen sense of smell detected the same comforting scent on Yun Fu’s body.

They didn’t reject the perfume but actively lifted their heads to sniff it as Warren sprayed.

Suddenly, their burning and uncomfortable psychic torment calmed—a first time their mental realm felt so comfortable.

The beasts’ crimson eyes returned to their natural color, and experiencing the perfume’s effects, they frantically clawed at the protective wall, urging Warren to spray more.

Warren was delighted to see their improvement, especially since some beasts’ contamination values had decreased.

He didn’t hesitate to return to Yun Fu.

“Miss Yun, how many bottles do you have? The agency will buy them all!”

He spoke with great generosity.

Only after saying this did Warren realize he hadn’t asked Lu Shiling, and he cast a hopeful look at him.

The fox sneered coldly, now remembering him.

But not wanting Yun Fu to lose out, he spoke up:

“This perfume lowers contamination and stabilizes the mental state of collapsing beast men. It’s extremely valuable and important to the agency. No matter the price, we’ll buy.”

Lu Shiling signaled to Yun Fu not to hesitate and to ask for whatever price she wanted, clearly helping the female lead make money. It was almost too obvious.

Warren felt embarrassed, but what he said wasn’t wrong. They would gladly pay any amount for such an effect.

Yun Fu thought for a moment and set a price neither too high nor too low.

Her real goal was to build a good relationship with the agency, relax the beast men’s vigilance, allow herself—a low psychic—to soothe them, increase purification values, and earning star coins was just a bonus.

Neither Lu Shiling nor Warren knew this.

They assumed she was only charging this little out of respect for Lu Shiling.

Lu Shiling covered his face with his paw, extremely embarrassed.

“You don’t have to consider me. The agency has plenty of money. You should ask for more star coins to buy dresses and jewelry.”

Though he said this, his voice was so strained that Warren couldn’t help but shudder.

Yun Fu thought of their little stash of funds and blinked. “Don’t those things get bought by you beast husbands for me?”

Her softened tone and natural words completely bewitched Lu Shiling, who immediately transferred 50,000 star coins through the intelligent brain interface, feeling guilty as he said:

“Spend this money however you like. When I’m out, I’ll accompany you shopping.”

Yun Fu took the star coins and nodded casually.

Then she took all the perfume from her space pocket and gave it to Warren.

Warren was equally pleased, transferring the star coins on the spot and promising to contact her anytime he needed more perfume.

Seeing them complete the transaction so quickly, Su Nianwei’s eyes flickered.

She had previously heard Qin Min’s name and assumed he had developed some medicine that Yun Fu was selling, her face showing disdain.

“Yun Fu, did you use this perfume to trick Officer Lu into thinking you can soothe with psychic power? Does Mr. Qin know you’re selling the perfume?”

Yun Fu glanced at her.

“You sure talk a lot.”

Her purely factual words twisted Su Nianwei’s expression.

Su Nianwei took a breath. “Since you say you can soothe, why don’t you try? Let’s see whether your perfume’s soothing effect is better or my psychic power.”

She wanted Lu Shiling to see how strong her soothing ability was, to make him regret what he said before and beg her to soothe him!

Having said that, she arrogantly strode toward the white lion locked in the cell opposite Lu Shiling, declaring her intention to soothe him.

The white lion actually wanted to try Yun Fu’s perfume, but the empire’s strict education of males prevented him from refusing a female’s request, so he finally extended his paw.

Su Nianwei began releasing her psychic power. Qing Ze stood guard beside her but looked at Yun Fu instead.

He didn’t understand why, after just a few days, Yun Fu’s eyes no longer held his image.

Are females really so fickle and heartless?

He frowned slightly, silently blocking his gaze.

Yun Fu felt a bit helpless at the female lead’s actions, but she was originally meant to soothe Lu Shiling.

She had Warren open the cell and entered to soothe Lu Shiling.

As the jellyfish-like entity entered Lu Shiling’s psychic realm, the fox’s paw unconsciously hooked onto Yun Fu’s dress, his tail curling around her wrist. He lifted his head, nuzzling and pressing against her cheek.

When Yun Fu stroked his tail, the fiery red color contrasted with her slender, pale fingers, smooth as cold jade.

The fox’s tail twitched slightly, emitting a rippling purring sound.

Hmph, no matter how envious other beasts are, only he gets to snuggle Yun Fu!
