Chapter 303: Bai Rao’s Spiritual Power Upgrade
For Shi Lan, life on the Capital Star was as peaceful and happy as ever.
Married life was a bit sweeter than she had imagined. With He Hanshi away, Shi Lan took the opportunity to rest for an extra day. Of course, she wasn’t completely idle; she now checked on the robot construction crew every day.
The interior designer Yan Huoshui found had provided several plans, and Shi Lan chose her favorite one. As for the renovations for her Beast Husbands’ rooms, she left it up to them to decide for themselves.
But this gave her a few more little shadows. Jiang Xia and Mu Tangfeng would stroll around with her every day, claiming they were also supervising the work. And while Ye Ming, as the Eldest Prince, was much busier with his duties, he always invited Shi Lan to dinner and prepared a gift for her every day.
However, they all still had a tacit understanding. On the designated day for the Beast Husband whose turn it was, determined by drawing lots, the others wouldn’t interfere too much.
Shi Lan discovered that after getting through the awkwardness of the first time, Jiang Xia and the others had all made rapid progress the second time around. They became much more proactive in advancing their married life, each one more enthusiastic than the last.
The one who hadn’t changed was Mu Tangfeng; he was still a shy little bird. If Shi Lan gave him a few extra kisses, his fair skin would instantly turn pomegranate red. He would curl his toes and hug her waist tightly, his body still pressed inseparable from hers.
Ye Ming was still gentle and reserved, like a frog in slowly boiling water. Shi Lan always found her mind going muddled and blank, lost in the unique tenderness he reserved only for her.
But the King of Competition truly lived up to his name. After discovering the most suitable spot the first time, he had already mastered it by the second. The lingering numbness she felt upon waking up was still soaked into her very bones, refusing to dissipate for quite some time.
Jiang Xia tried for days but still couldn’t get himself to... stand up completely. He dithered and dawdled until he worked himself up into tears. With teary, shimmering eyes, he looked at his wife, pecking her eyes with kisses to curry favor and beg for her affection.
What else could Shi Lan do? Of course, she chose to dote on him properly.
As for Yan Huoshui, Shi Lan didn’t even dare to think about it too much.
He was a total pervert. He had bought so many toys last time, and when night fell, he would proactively put on a sexy male uniform. The uniform had a hole in the back, just right for his tail to poke through.
He even wore a choker that framed his Adam’s apple. On his fair, demonic face, his eyes were covered by a layer of semi-transparent black gauze. From a distance, he faced Shi Lan, his nine fiery red tails swaying back and forth, alluring and ostentatious, like an Enchanting Demon skilled at bewitching hearts. His crimson lips curved toward her. "My dearest wife, I am at your command tonight."
And so, that night, Shi Lan accidentally became a pervert too. Under his guidance, she used the red silk he had bought to tie him up...
Shi Lan covered her blushing face and quickly pushed the thoughts away.
However, while she was enjoying this lovey-dovey married life with her Beast Husbands, another major event occurred on the Capital Star.
Bai Rao’s Spiritual Power Level had really broken through to S-level, just as described in the book.
The Bai Family had originally planned to announce it after two or three days. But when they saw online that Shi Lan had also reached S-level, and considering that her powerful, high-ranking Beast Husbands were keeping her popularity on the internet consistently high, they decided to wait. They also started pondering how to completely steal Shi Lan’s thunder.
Fortunately, they noticed that there had been no mention of Shi Lan’s Fertility Value online, so they decided to attack from that angle.
Thus, a piece of content titled "The S-Level Female with the Second-Highest Fertility Value in the Universe Is Born into the Bai Family" suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
In the Capital Star’s history, the highest recorded Fertility Value for the most outstanding S-level female was 60. That female gave birth to seven or eight children and was the female who had birthed the most children and the most outstanding offspring in interstellar history. After her, no other female had ever surpassed that value or number of births.
So, the Bai Family’s title, "Second-Highest Fertility Value," combined with "S-level female," certainly piqued many people’s curiosity.
Everyone clicked to see, discovering that this person was Bai Rao. The post even included a live video of her getting her Fertility Value and spiritual power tested.
Bai Rao’s previous Fertility Value was 52. As an A-level female, she was already a prime target for many outstanding males. Now that she had upgraded to S-level, it instantly caused a huge uproar.
This caused an even bigger sensation than Shi Lan’s breakthrough because her Fertility Value was just that high. Among all living females, none could surpass it.
While people discussed how two S-level females had suddenly appeared, they also started inquiring about the Bai Family’s situation, hoping to propose a marriage alliance.
For a time, the Bai Family’s doorstep was nearly worn through. Families, friends and allies, came and went in an endless stream.
When Ye Yan found out about this, he stopped his daily routine of cursing Ye Ming and being jealous of him in the palace. Now that his own fiancée had become S-level, his attention was instantly focused on Bai Rao. He went to the Bai Family’s residence every day to keep an eye on things, afraid that some clueless male would take the opportunity to hit on her.
As the Second Prince, he and Bai Rao had agreed when they got engaged that he would be the primary husband in the future. But since they weren’t officially married yet, there were too many variables, and he couldn’t rest easy.
Bai Rao greatly enjoyed this atmosphere of being the moon surrounded by stars. Unfortunately, the male she liked most was not among them.
Before He Hanshi and Ye Ming were sent to Black Star Prison, they had always been her primary targets. 3S males, outstanding and powerful—she considered herself more than worthy of them.
Unfortunately, their spiritual power later collapsed, so she had to settle for second best and consider Ye Yan, who was set to be the heir.
Who would have thought that He Hanshi and the others, whose spiritual power had collapsed, would one day recover? And on top of that, be snatched up by an F-level female she had never even deigned to notice before.
’However, I heard she also became an S-level female. No wonder He Hanshi and the others chose her.’
In her heart, Bai Rao was actually a bit jealous—jealous of this female’s good luck. But whenever she felt that jealousy, the words Shi Lan had spoken to her during their last encounter would always come to mind.
She was the first female to speak like that, and the first person to leave her speechless.
’Whatever. Just a few males. If Shi Lan is willing to endure such hardship and accompany them through their lowest point, then she deserves them. Someone like me couldn’t do that. I was born so outstanding; I’m destined to enjoy a life of luxury.’
’And now that I’m also S-level, the number of males I can choose from is countless. Although there are no more 3S males, a rather good 2S male has appeared.’
’As for Ye Yan... he is the Second Prince, after all. Even though I find him rather annoying and his spiritual power is only S-level, he is still quite responsible toward females. He was very responsible in protecting me last time when we were stranded on that Deserted Star. I won’t go back on the primary husband position I promised him.’
The publicity for Bai Rao’s spiritual power upgrade this time was even greater. The news topped the trending charts for a long time. At first, the Bai Family paid for promotions, but later, the citizens of the interstellar network started reposting it on their own, and it quickly overshadowed Shi Lan’s previous fame.
When Shi Lan learned of this, she was actually quite grateful to her.
Her personality was different from Bai Rao’s. She didn’t like being high-profile and ostentatious. With Bai Rao taking the heat up front, she finally wouldn’t be stared at all the time.
