Transmigrated as a Rare Female: Beast Husbands Love Me Exclusively-Chapter 121: Return to S Star

"She came to see me before, and I refused," said Lu Mujie indifferently.

His dark, ink-like eyes looked out the window, thick eyelashes obscuring the expression in his eyes.

As if he were looking at lost souls with compassion.

He sensed the young female’s gaze and smiled faintly, "Don’t think too highly of me. This subject is an irresistible temptation for any scientist not bound by moral and ethical constraints. I’m certainly not one of those morally upright people."

Ruan Li’s nascent admiration shattered; she rolled her eyes silently, "You’re all lunatics."

"Little Li, you’re still too young. Never having had it, you won’t pursue it," Lu Mujie smiled gently, the cold face suddenly displaying a smile that was bizarre, yet his handsome features blended the oddity into a stunning beauty.

He turned his gaze slightly, the smile like he was tolerating the ignorance of criticism.

"These evolved Fierce Beasts have various forms. Even though the main city district has activated aerial defenses, they still can’t repel the attacking beasts. They aren’t easily killed, and their severed limbs can still maintain life activities.

In this regard, Miss Ruan Ying is truly the Empire’s pride."

His tone was half sigh, half sarcasm.

"If it weren’t for coming to see Little Li, I would still be dizzyingly busy at the institute."

His slanted smile was akin to a cold, unfeeling snake suddenly baring its teeth in a smile.

Ruan Li rubbed the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on her arms, "How are the Fierce Beasts eliminated?"

"You have to completely destroy their bodies, burn them to powder or char them, ensuring they can no longer move."

The aircraft landed smoothly on the open ground, but there was still some distance to the main city district.

"The main city district has now activated the highest level of protection; the aircraft can’t enter. We’ll have to walk." Lu Muyu said.

"Is the Queen still in the main city district?" Ruan Li asked.

"How could she be? Recently, Prince Vize’s engagement banquet was held on Tili Planet, and halfway through the ceremony, a Ferocious Beast Tide suddenly erupted across the interstellar, trapping the Queen and the Prince on Tili Planet," Lu Mujie replied.

Lu Muyu clicked his tongue lightly, "Pretending to comfort the civilians every day, the puppeteer behind the scenes is also her."

Ruan Li asked, "Since you’re aware of the schemer, why not expose her?"

"How do we expose her? Now all clues ultimately lead to Ruan Ying’s institute, but there..."

Ruan Ying’s institute operated almost entirely by robots, established with the most advanced system in the entire interstellar that can’t be broken, let alone leak information.

Before the conversation ended, a distant gloom suddenly erupted in flames, layers of heat waves surged, and the choking scent of smoke blew towards them with the wind.

Ruan Li’s eyes stung from the sudden onslaught of thick smoke.

She was suddenly snatched up, cold wind flitting past her ears.

"We’ll take another route." Lu Muyu placed her in the back seat of a car, and the group drove away at high speed.

The inky black car windows still allowed a view of the outside scene.

The grim sky pressed low overhead, chilling winds sweeping the chaotic land as if seeking to devour something. Outside the walls of the main city district lay piles of Fierce Beast remnants, resembling small hills, the overpowering stench of blood mixed with the reek of burning flesh mingling with the rolling smoke lingering in the air, suddenly evoking a desolate feeling.

Lu Muyu sat in the passenger seat, noticing how Ruan Li stared straight out the window, "This is merely the aftermath of the battlefield clearing; the real battlefield is even more brutal than this."

The car sped past, stopping at a small door on the east side of the city wall.

Lu Mujie stood at the door, performed facial recognition, and only then did the small door slowly open.

Through the small door was a deep, narrow corridor, punctuated by various external tests to pass through.

"Some Fierce Beasts can transform into normal human forms. After these tests, there are other checks."

At the end of the corridor, the small door turned green, allowing entry into another place.

The sudden bright light made Ruan Li close her eyes.

"Professor Lu."

"Yes, I brought some people back to the main city district."

"Okay, there are a few documents here that need signing."

As Ruan Li opened her eyes, Lu Mujie led them to the convenient passage.

"Is it over?" Ruan Li glanced back at the room full of heavily armed people and asked softly.

"Normally, you’d need to isolate for another seven days, but there are always those who don’t adhere to rules or restraints."

The four passed through the convenient passage, leaving the protective facility.

They drove toward the Lu Family villa, but the route wasn’t familiar to Ruan Li.

Lu Mujie explained, "The situation is urgent now, and the city isn’t entirely safe, so we found a place with a higher safety index, protected by elder brother’s Personal Guard."

Along the way, there were barely any people to be seen; the sky looked oppressively dark and intimidating.

Upon entering the villa and ascending the elevator to the first floor,

"Little Li!" The already informed Su Luoyin, waiting in the living room, cried tears of joy upon seeing Ruan Li’s figure.

Ruan Li stepped forward to embrace her, "Mother, I’m sorry for worrying you."

The warmth of the hug evoked a feeling of attachment, the faint fragrance at her nose eased the lingering smell of blood.

Su Luoyin held her tightly, almost sobbing, "Are you hurt?"

Ruan Li thought for a moment; aside from her headache splitting in the arena, she hadn’t been harmed.

She shook her head, "No."

Su Luoyin didn’t believe it, looking her over thoroughly, finally red-eyed, "You’ve lost weight."

Ruan Li blinked; she actually felt she might have gained some weight.

Though Ruan Ying kept her detained, she was never short on anything, living leisurely every day; how could she lose weight?

Under the motherly filter of Su Luoyin, she still felt Ruan Li suffered grievances, holding her hand to inquire about her well-being.

Lu Mufeng had just finished a meeting, emerging from the study, to see Ruan Li overwhelmed by excessive care, pleading help with her eyes.

"Mother, Little Li just returned from outside; she must be tired." He spoke in a calm voice.

Su Luoyin said with reluctance, "Little Li, quickly go rest. You’ve suffered outside for so many days; you must be tired."

After Ruan Li and Xu Mo returned to their room, they washed up and changed into clothes brought by a robot.

In the living room, a few of them sat on the sofa.

"Mother, you’re still unwilling to contact Ruan Ying?" Lu Mufeng initiated.

Su Luoyin pinched her fingers, her face barely composed, "Xiao Ying couldn’t possibly do such things. Even if evidence points to her, it might be fabricated, or she might be coerced."

"We also believe Miss Ruan Ying wouldn’t willingly do such things, but the truth still needs her to tell us personally."

Su Luoyin leaned against Mr. Lu, and after a moment of comfort from the man, she finally decided to dial Ruan Ying’s phone number.

She knew, Ruan Ying would never fail to answer her call.
