Jiang Zheyu hurriedly opened her Light Brain.

The scenario she’d imagined—Feng Qi spamming her with messages to complain—hadn’t happened. Instead, Feng Qi had sent just one message this morning.

Feng Qi: Jiang Yuyu, I’m not free today or tomorrow. Let’s meet the day after.

Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment before replying, "Okay."

On the other end, Feng Qi had just finished a meeting when he received Jiang Zheyu’s message.

His eyes lowered slightly. In truth, when he saw Su Yan’s Hongying Mecha yesterday, he had already guessed the young woman wouldn’t be able to make their appointment the next day.

’Su Yan, what good could he possibly be?’

’Just as I thought, no good at all!’

Feng Qi stroked his Light Brain and replied to the young woman, "What time the day after tomorrow?"

Seeing Feng Qi’s quick reply, Jiang Zheyu immediately responded, "Two o’clock the day after tomorrow!"

Feng Qi: "Alright. Pinky promise."

When Jiang Zheyu saw that, she paused for a second, then let out a small laugh.

"Okay," Jiang Zheyu replied with a single word.

Seeing Jiang Zheyu’s one-word reply, Feng Qi fell into thought. ’Should I tell Jiang Yuyu that guy Su Yan is being sent far away?’

Su Yan’s Beastification Value had already dropped to 58, and it was all thanks to Jiang Yuyu.

The higher-ups wouldn’t just be sending Su Yan away; they were also going to have Jiang Yuyu re-tested for her Spiritual Power Level.

Last night, the young woman had only faltered for a moment after being hit by the spiritual power attack of an A+ insect. He guessed her Spiritual Power Level was A+ or higher.

’Right now, even the Little Princess of the Empire, who has the strongest spiritual power, is only an A+. If Jiang Yuyu’s spiritual power is stronger than A+, she’s bound to attract the attention of the Imperial Family. And then, even more outstanding Beastmen will start showing up around her.’

’And me? I’m just a Male Beastman who had to retreat from the front lines to guard this little corner of the Imperial Capital Star. My spiritual power is unstable from my time on the battlefield, a condition no female’s soothing can fix, and I can’t even pilot a Mecha anymore.’

’I don’t seem very competitive.’

「Female Matching Center.」

Jiang Zheyu stood outside, looking at the beautiful and spacious four-story, square-shaped building constructed with white walls. In the center, three gilded words—"Female Matching Center"—seemed to come to life.

In front of the building was a huge plaza with a flagpole platform in the very center. Three flags flew from it: the flag of the Imperial Capital Star, the flag of the Female Matching Center, and the flag of the Female Office.

Jiang Zheyu glanced at it once before looking away. She couldn’t shake the feeling of a chill running down her spine.

As she slowly walked inside, she cautiously asked the system in her mind, "System, ever since I left home, I’ve felt like I’m being watched by an unfamiliar spiritual power. Is there a Beastman following me?"

’And it feels like their spiritual power is stronger than mine. I don’t dare make any sudden moves, so I’ve been pretending not to notice, acting natural all the way to the Female Matching Center.’

"Host, the system does not provide a Beastman-scanning function," the system reminded her tactfully.

Jiang Zheyu sometimes felt the system was both useful and useless.

She walked into the lobby of the Female Matching Center, and the skin-crawling gaze that had been on her finally disappeared.

"Hello, esteemed female! Are you here for a match?" a middle-aged Beastman greeted her with a beaming smile. He was holding a thick stack of Male Beastman profiles. "Our Female Matching Center has just added the profiles of two million outstanding Male Beastmen! Esteemed female, would you like to see if there are any you like? For example, take a look at this Male Beastman: eight-pack abs, long legs, blond hair, red eyes, and a charming smile. Only eighteen years old, what a catch! Perfect for taking home as a husband..."

As he spoke, he shoved a profile into Jiang Zheyu’s arms.

Jiang Zheyu clutched the profile awkwardly. ’No, no, that’s not... I’m not here to be matched with a Beastman.’

"Sir, I... I’m not here to be matched with a Beastman." Jiang Zheyu didn’t look at the profile in her hands, explaining lamely, "I’m here to get my Spiritual Power Level tested."

The middle-aged Beastman paused, then said in surprise, "But it’s not the scheduled time for females to have their spiritual power measured."

"I received a notice to come get re-tested," Jiang Zheyu explained again, facing the Beastman’s disbelieving gaze.

Only then did the middle-aged Beastman believe her. "Come with me. I’ll take you there."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Zheyu followed the middle-aged Beastman.

In that short walk, the middle-aged Beastman eagerly stuffed two more Beastman profiles into her hands. "Esteemed female, you’re so young and beautiful! You should marry more Male Beastmen and take them home. Don’t let your youth go to waste!"

Jiang Zheyu was speechless.

’What does marrying more Beastmen have to do with wasting my youth?’

Along the way, Jiang Zheyu saw many other females, each followed by numerous Beast Husbands. A lone female like Jiang Zheyu was indeed a rare sight.

"Right, okay," Jiang Zheyu could only agree, faced with the man’s enthusiastic matchmaking. ’I’ll decide whether to look at them later.’

Soon, Jiang Zheyu arrived at the door to the spiritual power measurement office.

The middle-aged Beastman, probably seeing that she was easygoing, shoved a few more Beastman profiles at her.

Jiang Zheyu looked at the profiles and felt they seemed a bit similar. She flipped through them and discovered that all of them were for the same Male Beastman.

"Sir, why are all of these for the same person?" Jiang Zheyu paused. After the man had said so much and handed her so many profiles, she’d assumed each one would be different.

Seeing that this female wasn’t as difficult as the others, the middle-aged Beastman quietly whispered to her, "This guy paid a lot. But that just proves he’s really rich and very generous. Besides, I’ve seen him in person—he really looks just like his photo, no editing. I’m telling you about him because I have a good feeling about you. I guarantee you won’t regret it."

Newly registered Beastmen have to wait a year before they can send match requests to females.

However, females who come to the Matching Center can choose any Beastman in the database.

That’s why Male Beastmen pay the staff at the Female Matching Center to help promote them.

Jiang Zheyu shook her head with a small laugh. "No, thank you, Sir."

The middle-aged Beastman didn’t press the issue, just saying, "Take a look before you decide. I’m going back to work."

Jiang Zheyu could only nod.

She knocked on the door of the spiritual power measurement office.

A voice soon came from inside.

"Come in."

Jiang Zheyu felt the voice was strangely familiar.

So when she pushed open the door, walked into the office, and saw Li Xingbai inside, it took her a beat to realize it was him—Li Xingbai, her attending physician.

When Li Xingbai looked up and saw Jiang Zheyu, he also seemed to pause for a fraction of a second before giving her a slight nod. "Miss Jiang."

It was Doctor Li, dressed in his white coat, his expression as cool and distant as ever.

"I’m here to get my spiritual power tested." Jiang Zheyu was still a little suspicious that the man from before had brought her to the wrong place.

"Yes, this is the place," Li Xingbai said with a nod.

’But wait, doesn’t Li Xingbai work at the Imperial Capital First Hospital? What’s he doing here at the Female Matching Center?’
