Chapter 14: None of Them Are Easy to Deal With

After Puslin resolved the matter at Arthur’s end, he hurriedly returned.He knocked on the door of their temporarily rented apartment and finally saw his beloved wife.

"Puslin, you’re back?"

"How’s everything on Arthur’s side?" Yu Man asked.

Puslin picked up a glass of water and drank it all in one go.

"It’s a long story."

Yu Man noticed the worry in his eyes, "Then take your time to explain?"

Puslin nodded.

"Things in Arthur’s family might be a bit complicated, and I’m not sure if what they’re saying is true."

However, according to his judgment, it was probably true.

"Arthur’s mother was framed and exiled to Undersea City."

"Because... she interfered in another’s marriage."

"What?" Yu Man was surprised.

Nowadays, males who cheat are directly imprisoned in Undersea Prison.

And females who interfere in marriages are also severely punished, severely enough to be exiled to Undersea City.

"Is Arthur’s mother innocent?"

If she were not innocent, Puslin wouldn’t have said she was framed. Being exiled to Undersea City would have been enough.

"She might not be entirely innocent?" Puslin frowned, "She also failed to see through people."

Arthur’s mother, Zor, became a mistress.

She didn’t confirm the person was single before being with him, and in the end, even slept with him; it can’t be said that she was entirely innocent.

But the investigation shows that the male beastman couldn’t stand his wife and accidentally met a gentle female, which led to his wrongful desires...

"Because Zor was also deceived, federal law did not give her too severe a punishment."

However, that female master was unwilling and insisted on taking revenge on Zor, so she deliberately framed Zor for sleeping with another’s beast husband.

That beast husband insisted that Zor forced him, and even committed suicide fiercely...

Thus Zor, unable to defend herself, had her property confiscated and was exiled to live in Undersea City.

But even in Undersea City, she faced countless difficulties. Not only did she not receive the treatment females deserve, but she also struggled to obtain even basic resources as a beastman.

"What about now..."

"Zor now only has two beast husbands, and to earn a commission by hunting Fallen Species, she was severely injured."

Yu Man’s eyes showed a tinge of sympathy.

"However, rest assured, wife, I’ve already reported the situation to the Female Protection Association."

Yu Man hesitated for a moment, "It’s been so long, the association can’t possibly be completely unaware of Zor’s situation. Since Zor was deliberately targeted, what about in the future..."

The association is managing it now, but what about later? Yu Man didn’t believe Zor wouldn’t be targeted again in the future.

"They already have a chance to turn things around..."

Puslin thought that Zor’s family was somewhat lucky as well.

"What kind of opportunity?"

"Zor, the female... is pregnant."


Every female’s light brain is specially designed to detect pregnancy.

But Zor’s own light brain was broken, and she was unaware of her condition, and nobody replaced her light brain.

It wasn’t until Puslin found a doctor for Zor that the doctor was surprised to discover that Zor was expecting a child, already nearly three months!

However, because Zor was physically weak and frail, no one noticed.

"Upon examination, it is very likely that Zor is carrying a female baby."

Every female baby is precious to the planet, and even if Zor couldn’t clear her name, the association wouldn’t possibly let her stay in Undersea City.

So, Zor was fortunate enough to have the chance to leave Undersea City thanks to the baby in her womb.

Moreover, the doctor said that Zor’s pregnancy was unstable. A few more days, and the little one might have miscarried or stopped developing due to severe malnutrition.

"Zor is indeed very fortunate." Yu Man nodded.

As long as Zor seizes this opportunity to leave Undersea City, those who want to deal with her will have to weigh it more carefully.

"Do you know who Zor offended?" Yu Man asked, "Would she vent her anger on us because we helped Zor?"

She wasn’t very worried about herself; her primary concern was Manman.

"The person is a side-branch lady of the Gray family, not even in contact with the core. With her capability, if she wants to deal with us, she’d have to reconsider."

If it were the legitimate daughter of the Gray family, they might indeed need to be cautious.

For a side-branch lady to take action against them, those families might consider it beneath their dignity.

The upper-class ’nobles’ have always been arrogant.

Puslin reassured, "Don’t worry, if we can’t handle something so trivial, how could we be worthy of being your beast husband?"

Yu Man nodded, "Okay."

She turned her head and saw Lai in a daze.

"What’s the matter, Lai?"

"I was thinking about the Gray family." Lai’s expression was somber, "I’ve heard of the Gray family, and they’re not good people..."

"Although it has nothing to do with us, what we need to be cautious of, we still should be."

Their methods are sinister, you know.

"I know."

Puslin’s eyes flickered with a dark hue.

"Wife, in a couple of days, I might be going on a mission that could take quite a while."

This mission was originally something Puslin didn’t want to undertake.

The journey is long and the risk is high; if mishandled, it could even cost lives.

However, the upside is that if he completes this mission perfectly, he could come back and potentially be promoted.

He didn’t care for these things in the past, but as the years went by and he got closer to the center of power, he discovered more of the darkness hiding under the sunlight.

Either he chooses to live an ordinary life, closing his eyes to everything; or he strives to climb upwards, reaching a level where people would be afraid of him.

After visiting Undersea City, he came to a realization.

Sometimes, even if you want to avoid it, those nasty things will come at you.

Rather than going against his conscience and doing nothing, he’d rather be prepared for everything.

Otherwise, when those unprovoked disasters truly strike, he wouldn’t even have the opportunity to resist.

This mission was also an intentional cultivation from those above, missing this opportunity, he might never encounter it again.

Since the new order was established, there are still too many unstable factors; those in control are the ’nobles.’

Protecting the interests of the majority means gradually taking control from the ’nobles.’

Puslin thought he couldn’t ignore the ’unfairness’ hiding beneath fairness. If everyone did so, what future would the planet have? Would this neglect become the next ’apocalypse’ crisis?

And then there’s their family’s situation...

Among the five beast husbands, except for himself, none are easy to deal with, and each is a potential time bomb!

Who knows when one might explode!

"Go ahead." Yu Man fully supported her beast husband’s career, "I’ll take good care of Manman."

"And, Song Chen will be back soon, so you don’t have to worry about me."

Song Chen, Yu Man’s third beast husband, had been on a business trip to another country and would return in a few days.

He is a Tiger Clan beastman, with abilities on par with Puslin.
