ARIWLBBC Chapter 95

It was another exhausting day.

Lie Beishuang returned home, opened the door, and stood at the entrance for a long while. The human who usually ran to greet him was nowhere to be seen. The usual warm welcome of kisses, hugs, and being lifted high into the air had vanished without warning.

The scepter floated forward without a clue, only to turn back after realizing its master hadn’t followed. Seeing its master standing at the doorway with a dark expression, the scepter suddenly recalled what was missing and hurriedly floated back to his side, quickly contacting Nais.

“Did the little master forget? Or did he oversleep?”

The scepter cautiously glanced at Lie Beishuang, only to see its master standing stiffly at the doorway, exuding a “If my human doesn’t welcome me, I won’t go in” kind of cold arrogance.

Lie Beishuang’s mind raced with thoughts.

He thought of the newly reformed marriage-matching system, the ominous elf who messaged his human that morning, and all the suspicious individuals who might be coveting his precious one.

Who stole my human?!

“Master,” Nais hurried over, bowing respectfully. “At Madam Anmei’s invitation, the little master went out. Before leaving, he instructed me to inform you that he won’t be joining you for dinner tonight.”

Madam Anmei?

That was unexpected.

“Where did Madam Anmei take the little master?” the scepter quickly inquired.

“It seems they went to a beauty salon. I saw the little master looking up precautions for visiting a beauty salon,” Nais replied, bowing his head. “Master, dinner is ready. When would you like to begin?”

“No appetite,” Lie Beishuang said coldly, turning back and stepping into his aircraft without expression.

“Scepter, check which aircraft is missing and find out its destination.”

Bo Ge and Madam Anmei spent five or six hours completing all the beauty treatments. As for the mysterious “ovary care” that left Bo Ge puzzled, it turned out to be nothing more than oil applied to his stomach, with circular motions and gentle pressing. The technicians didn’t seem to care whether he actually had the organ or not.

It was essentially a stomach massage, but the process tickled Bo Ge so much that he burst out laughing two or three times, clutching his belly and nearly rolling on the floor. The technician seemed a little frustrated and almost got a nosebleed by the end of it.

“See? After all that care, look how much better your skin looks, little Bo Ge,” Madam Anmei said affectionately, linking arms with him. “From now on, come with me once a month. Taking care of yourself is a habit you need to start young, and I’ll make sure you develop it.”

“Alright, thank you, Madam Anmei,” Bo Ge replied, feeling light and relaxed all over. He had to admit, the full-body massage was fantastic.

“Good evening, dear customers.” The short-haired manager, now in a fresh outfit and with something stuffed into one nostril to stop the bleeding, approached them. “Here’s your bill.”

“I’ll pay,” Bo Ge said, not even glancing at the bill before eagerly pulling up his light brain to complete the transaction. However, the sound of payment processing didn’t come.

“Huh?”

This isn’t the time for things to go wrong!

Bo Ge checked his account balance. The allowance the big cat gave him hadn’t even been touched, so why couldn’t he pay? This was too embarrassing—what would Madam Anmei think of him now?

“Is my light brain broken?” Bo Ge nervously asked the manager.

“It’s not broken,” the manager replied, still feeling a bit dizzy after all the nosebleeds.

Madam Anmei raised an eyebrow, took the bill, and kindly pointed out, “Your calculation system must have a glitch. The total comes to zero credits.”

Bo Ge looked at the bill—it really did!

The young man turned to Madam Anmei with an admiring gaze. How amazing! Even in such a situation, she calmly found the issue in an instant!

Under the adoring gaze of the human boy, Madam Anmei struggled to maintain her composure. Her entire leopard self was practically floating.

Feeling validated by others made the leopard happy.

Being validated by a human? Pure joy—max level!

“Ah, this isn’t a mistake,” the manager explained with a smile. “It’s the rule set by our store owner. Any human who comes to our store, even with a companion, gets everything for free.”

“Free?!” Bo Ge was astonished as he looked over the bill again. Nearly 50,000 credits for him and Madam Anmei—completely waived?

“Would you like to sign up for our membership?” The manager winked playfully at the young man. “It comes with complimentary natural facial masks!”

“Sign me up!” Madam Anmei said decisively, slapping the table. She quickly signed the membership agreement the manager displayed.

Still a little dazed, Bo Ge also signed up for the membership. The manager immediately arranged for the facial mask treatment and led the two to the care room.

In the waiting area, whispers started spreading.

“That one… looks like a human!”

Beastmen who had been hesitating over which service to choose suddenly approached staff, asking, “What treatments did that human get?”

Whatever the human got—they wanted it too!

Meanwhile, a man in the waiting area, wearing dark sunglasses, slightly lowered the opaque panel in front of him. He snapped his fingers to call over a staff member.

“Hello, here are our signature treatments. Which one would you like?” The staff member glanced at the man. His black shirt was buttoned to the very top, his suit pants were spotless, and he exuded an understated yet undeniable aura of wealth.

Not to mention, his high nose bridge visible beneath the sunglasses made it clear—this orc was a certified tall, rich, and handsome type. He definitely had the credits to spend!

The staff member was preparing to upsell a membership but froze as they approached. A powerful, predatory aura emanated from the man—violent and bloodthirsty, as if he’d crawled out of a battlefield. The staff member almost fell to their knees on the spot.

Heavens above! I’m just a Highland Cow beastman. Why did I have to encounter a customer who feels like he’s here to kill someone?!

“What treatments did they get?” the man asked in a low, magnetic voice that made the staff member’s legs tremble.

Following the man’s gaze, the staff member spotted the adorable human.

It was said that the manager personally decided to serve the human himself, claiming, “A treasure like this stays in-house!” The result? The manager couldn’t stop his nosebleed after the session, all while shouting, “So cute!” and stuffing tissues up his nose.

The staff member silently mourned for both the manager and the human before answering in a shaky voice, “They’re doing the all-natural facial mask treatment.”

The man’s gaze stayed fixed on the Highland Cow beastman.

“This treatment is exclusive to members,” the staff member added, trembling. “It includes free natural, additive-free juices and snacks. Members can chat together in a lively atmosphere.”

The Highland Cow lowered his head, avoiding eye contact. If he’s this intimidating with sunglasses on, would his stare kill me if he took them off?

The man gave a slight nod. It took the Highland Cow a moment to realize, then he stammered, “Would you like to try the all-natural facial mask treatment?”

Three seconds of silence passed before a small silver orb bounced out of the man’s pocket and shouted impatiently, “Duh! Hurry up already!”

“Right away!” The Highland Cow’s eyes lit up as he pulled up the membership details. “According to the rules, you need to make one purchase and deposit 30,000 credits to become a member. But I can give you a discount, and—”

The scepter swiftly connected to the membership system and made a payment. The Highland Cow heard a notification and checked his light brain.

[You’ve recruited member 51788, who deposited 1,000,000 credits. You will receive 5% of their total spending as a sales commission.]

The Highland Cow was stunned.

Is this what it’s like to live in a rich person’s world?

“Did you… make a mistake? We can refund the excess…” The Highland Cow spoke cautiously. A million credits wasn’t a small sum—5% of that was equivalent to a year’s salary!

“My spouse will use it,” the man said flatly.

What kind of extraordinary person must his spouse be to share a bed with someone like him?

Wait a minute. The Highland Cow’s eyes widened. He has a spouse, so why is he chasing after a human?!

“Quick, take my master to the all-natural facial mask treatment room!” the silver orb urged, bouncing around impatiently.

Still dazed, the Highland Cow led the man to change into a robe and then escorted him to the treatment area.

Bo Ge hadn’t expected the natural facial mask treatment room to resemble an outdoor space. It had a swimming pool, grassy lawns, and various entertainment facilities. The room was massive, filled with people wearing black mud masks while chatting and sipping drinks.

“This is a natural mineral mud mask, rich in minerals,” the staff member explained as they carefully applied the mask to Bo Ge’s face. “It stimulates blood circulation, deeply cleanses the skin, and slows aging. Once you wash it off, your skin will feel super smooth.”

Bo Ge worked hard to keep his face still and avoided speaking.

The extent of his skincare knowledge was this: If you move your face after applying a mask, you’ll get wrinkles!

Sitting on a duck-shaped cushion on the lawn, Bo Ge hugged his knees and watched the others in the pool. Madam Anmei was chatting with acquaintances, her mask still moist. It was unclear when she’d finish.

Maintaining a single expression was challenging, but Bo Ge tried his best.

“Ahem.”

A familiar voice came from behind. Bo Ge, still expressionless, slowly turned his head.

When he saw a man with a black mud mask and sunglasses, the mask on Bo Ge’s face nearly cracked.

Why is the big cat here?!

“I was worried about you, so I came to check on you,” the man said as he sat down on the little yellow chick cushion next to Bo Ge.

“Mm.” Bo Ge made a sound through his nose, not daring to speak.

“Did she say something to you?” The man had clearly noticed something unusual in the boy’s response.

Bo Ge remained silent. It wasn’t something that could be explained in a sentence or two, and he couldn’t talk with the mask on. Instead, he wrote the word “child” on the grass.

Madam Anmei had been pressuring him about having grandchildren.

The boy’s uncharacteristic silence stirred unease in the man. Seeing the word “child,” Lie Beishuang also fell silent.

So, he found out after all?

“I don’t want children right now—not because I don’t love you.”

After a brief silence, Lie Beishuang’s first words made a crack appear in Bo Ge’s mud mask.

What?!

Say that again?!

In this interstellar era, where beastmen cubs often came in litters, the big cat didn’t want offspring?

“You know how I came into this world,” the man said, lowering his gaze. “If I were to have cubs with you, I’d have to hand over my sperm to someone else.”

“I don’t trust them, and I don’t trust myself.”

“My genes were optimized by that person. Even though multiple tests have shown no issues, I can’t guarantee that my offspring would be problem-free.”

Bo Ge looked at the man with a blank expression.

“That’s why I hope you can bypass me and go for solo male reproduction.”

Bo Ge felt like his mud mask had completely crumbled into dust.

Solo male reproduction? What the heck is that?!
