The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 292: He Was Like a Wolf Waiting to Be Tamed
Su Ruan and the others were unaware that among this group of exotic beasts was a beastman who had come from the Empire.
Su Ruan and Su Heyuan were unaware of the Empire’s existence, while the others knew but didn’t care.
After checking the number, Lu Shinian’s expression became complex.
He looked at Ian and asked, "Where did you catch it?"
Ian looked at Rock.
Rock shrugged and grinned, revealing his cute little tiger teeth, "Caught it randomly."
"These exotic beasts, with nothing better to do after eating, came to cause trouble on my turf, so I just caught them."
Hearing this, Lu Shinian frowned even deeper.
"Are you saying they went to the Insect Domain?"
"Uh-huh," Rock responded casually, without much explanation; explaining it would be too troublesome, and he couldn’t be bothered.
Su Ruan, noticing Lu Shinian’s somewhat sullen expression, pressed further, "Brother Lu, what’s wrong?"
"Did you discover something?"
Lu Shinian nodded, "This number was one of those who entered Wood Peach Star and completely beastified."
"This number [566678], was exactly Ling Shan, a Mecha Warrior serving in the Third Legion thirty years ago. After full beastification, she became the Flame Fox."
Lu Shinian then looked at the other two "exotic beasts," stood up, and felt around their necks, finding a small metal plate just as expected. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Upon closer inspection, these also had numbers: [677789], [100098].
In his system, he could find corresponding completely beastified individuals for these numbers, all of whom had been sent to Wood Peach Star. In theory, they should age and die there, so how did they become the "exotic beasts" as Rock and Ian described?
Lu Shinian lifted his gaze to Rock, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Su Ruan, beside him, was still shocked that these exotic beasts were actually completely beastified individuals; just by looking at them, one couldn’t tell at all.
Unlike Da Hu, these completely beastified had no human memories left; they were wild, untamable, and extremely ferocious. If not for being drugged by the weakening agents from Rock and Ian, they would have started fighting long ago.
Rather than calling them completely beastified individuals, it’s more accurate to call them true beasts.
Using the term "exotic beasts" to describe them is accurate, but... how did they end up in the Insect Domain?
Wood Peach Star is quite far from the Insect Domain; without the support of a spaceship, it’s impossible to reach the Insect Domain just by physical means.
Su Ruan had this doubt, and naturally, so did others.
But Rock and Ian couldn’t say why; they never cared about exotic beasts, let alone how they got to the Insect Domain.
"To solve this mystery, it looks like we’re going to have to visit Wood Peach Star."
Su Heyuan was the first to speak up.
As he said this, he stared intently at Lu Shinian, observing his reaction.
The coordinates for Wood Peach Star weren’t on the Star Network. To protect those completely beastified and prevent accidental intrusions, only Lu Shinian knew the coordinates of Wood Peach Star.
Moreover, Wood Peach Star was equipped with shielding devices, so unless one was very close, its presence could not be detected.
To go to Wood Peach Star, Lu Shinian would have to lead the way.
The situation had developed beyond anyone’s expectations; the "exotic beasts" that Rock and Ian brought seemed to have opened a door to another world for them.
Lu Shinian’s eyelashes trembled slightly and he pulled Su Ruan to her feet.
"We will discuss this later."
He looked at Su Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, let’s head back to the room, okay?"
He probably had something to say to her.
Su Ruan nodded, letting Lu Shinian lead her upstairs.
Downstairs, Ian and Rock knocked out several exotic beasts and tossed them onto the carpet.
Cheng Qingye sat on the sofa, observing those exotic beasts, his expression still indifferent, showing no sign of emotion.
Su Heyuan fiddled with his Light Brain, seemingly handling some messages.
Everyone had something to do, but occasionally they would glance upstairs, trying to overhear something.
Upstairs in the bedroom, Lu Shinian activated privacy mode.
He pulled Su Ruan down to sit and asked, "Did you discover anything at the insect people’s lab?"
At the mention of this, Su Ruan quickly said, "Yes, I found two instruments in their lab that can hold my spiritual power and ensure it doesn’t dissipate within half an hour."
"But they can’t be moved for now."
"I discussed with Second Brother and plan to have your people bring these two instruments back to the Central Star for research to see if they can be modified."
Lu Shinian nodded, "Alright, I’ll have Vice Wang take care of this."
Su Ruan glanced at him, reached out to hold his large hand gently, and softly asked, "Are we going to Wood Peach Star?"
"Do you want to go, Ruan Ruan?" Lu Shinian asked in return.
He tried to gauge from her reaction what had actually happened in a past life.
For instance, whether she had ever gone to Wood Peach Star in their previous life.
"I want to see it," Su Ruan replied, "also to understand what’s going on with the exotic beasts Rock mentioned. Plus, is it not possible for completely beastified individuals to return to normal now?"
"If we go to Wood Peach Star, maybe we could save a few completely beastified individuals?"
"Save?" Lu Shinian repeated these words, pulling Su Ruan into his embrace, running his large hand through her long hair, his voice so low it was almost inaudible, "When will you save me?"
Pull him out of endless fear and guilt, leaving his world only with her presence.
He felt like a wild wolf, holding onto a rope, waiting to be tamed. Sadly, his master couldn’t see the struggle and pain within his heart.
Lu Shinian’s voice was so quiet that Su Ruan didn’t quite catch what he said, prompting her to ask, "What?"
"Nothing." Lu Shinian gently caressed her face, "If you want to go, Ruan Ruan, then we’ll go."
Take a closer look at me, see how broken I am beneath this calm facade.
He stared at her, his gaze deep and penetrating, his handsome face revealing no extra emotion, everything perfectly masked, keeping anyone from discovering anything.
Su Ruan had a vague sense of something being off, but with everything happening so recently, her thoughts were in disarray, and she didn’t delve deeper into this strange feeling.
She simply went along with his words, saying, "Mhm, I want to go."
Her determination made Lu Shinian’s eyes even deeper.

Downstairs, Ian glanced at the time, frowning.
"Why is Cub still not done talking?"
It’s been almost an hour already!
"Hasn’t Lu Shinian had enough time talking to her?"
Counting the days, Lu Shinian and Cub have been together for almost a year, spending every day together. How could there still be so much to talk about?
Unlike them, he had only seen Cub a few times and had so many things to say to her.
Cheng Qingye gave Ian a sidelong glance.
