TL: Moonlit

Su Ge helped Lin Feng move the equipment sent over into the room. Looking at the small bed in front of the window, he didn’t understand why Lin Feng, if he truly liked this place, didn’t buy a neighboring yard to live with Lin Su instead. Why would he subject himself to such hardship?

“Alright, now that all the equipment is ready, I have a feeling that this time it will be successful.”

A hint of excitement was evident on Lin Feng’s face, and Su Ge patted his shoulder. “Then give it your all!”

In terms of research, Su Ge couldn’t be of much help anymore. However, if Lin Feng could really develop a better sedative, it would be beneficial for society.

“Let’s go, let’s sweep the yard first. Lin Su should be waking up soon.” Lin Feng rolled up his sleeves and headed outside, skillfully grabbing the broom standing by the house. There was no trace of the high-and-mighty scientist demeanor.

Su Ge sighed in his heart. Back when they were in the capital star, they were respected and had a prestigious position. They would go out with a large entourage. But now, in this small courtyard, they were nothing more than laborers.

Yet, the two of them seemed quite content. Strange, isn’t it?

“I told you we would meet someone.” Zhao An’s female father rolled his eyes at his partner and turned to smile at Su Ge as he came out of the house. “Hello, is this the residence of Lin Su?”

Seeing the two people outside the yard, Su Ge nodded. “Yes, this is Lin Su’s residence. What can I help you with?”

“Is Lin Su at home? We are Zhao An’s parents, and we came with them today. They are parking the car, so we came ahead.”

“Oh, I see. Please wait for a moment, Lin Su is not awake yet.” Su Ge didn’t know who Zhao An was, but since these two were looking for Lin Su, they should be guests or clients of some sort. He hesitated whether to let them in or not, but Zhao An’s male father, who had been silent all along, spoke up. “I think I’ve seen you somewhere before. Aren’t you from the Su family?”

Su Ge was somewhat surprised by his words. He looked up at Zhao An’s male father and confirmed that he hadn’t seen him before. But he couldn’t deny the possibility of some connection with his family. Politely, he replied, “Uncle, do you know me? I’m Su Ge from the Su family on the capital star.”

“I and your male father, we are good friends. He showed me your pictures and said you joined the military. How come you’re here?” Zhao An’s male father said, pulling Zhao An’s female father’s hand. “This is the little one from the Su family. Don’t you remember how we wanted to matchmake him with Xiao An back then?”

Su Ge: “…”

Coming out of the house with the broom, Lin Feng overheard their conversation and raised an eyebrow. Oh, so there’s this story as well!

Zhao An’s female father, who remembered the incident, smiled and said, “That’s right, I remember. I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s quite a coincidence. Why are you here?”

“I’m here to help. Haha.” Su Ge didn’t know what else to say. It wouldn’t be appropriate to say that they were working here.

Just as they were talking, Zhao An’s male father suddenly looked surprised, gripping Zhao An’s female father’s hand tightly. “Am I not mistaken? That’s Lin Feng, the talented scientist from the Lin family, right?”

Zhao An’s female father followed his partner’s gaze in that direction and saw a slender and thin male figure sweeping the yard, dressed in simple clothes. He couldn’t be sure, so he said hesitantly, “Could you be mistaken?”

Zhao An’s male father also hesitated to confirm. He smiled at Su Ge. “Is that Lin Feng over there?”

Su Ge wasn’t particularly surprised. Given Lin Feng’s status and abilities, being treated like this was normal. There weren’t many like Lin Su, so natural and unaffected.

“Yes, both of us are here to help.”

His words were casual, but Zhao An’s male father’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing about the Lin family’s status was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another. Even in the capital star, the Lin family, a prominent figure, was respected.

Although Lin Feng’s achievements were not as great as his female father’s, his future was boundless.

Yet, this person was sweeping the yard for Lin Su.

Coupled with the lush fruit trees in this yard, it suddenly felt like this small courtyard was mysterious and unfathomable.

Zhao An and Gen parked the car and came over, looking at the surprised expressions on their parents’ faces. “What’s wrong with you?”

Hearing Zhao An’s voice, Zhao An’s female father quickly pulled him aside and whispered, “Why didn’t you tell us that Lin Feng is also here?”

“What do you mean? Lin Feng is…” Zhao An was still trying to catch up with his parents’ train of thought, looking back at the yard but not seeing anything particularly special. “Did someone tell you something?”

“No need for anyone to say anything. We saw it ourselves. The one sweeping the yard is the scientist from the Lin family on the capital star, and the one at the entrance is from the Su family. Remember, your male father wanted to introduce the Su family’s child to you, but it didn’t work out because you liked Gen.”

Zhao An hadn’t had a chance to process the surprise of “Lin Feng being here” when his parents brought up the past. He cried and laughed helplessly, “Please don’t mention that again.”

“I know, it was your male father who brought it up. I just remembered. But why didn’t you tell us about Lin Feng being here?”

“I just found out from you. He wasn’t here when I last came.”

Lin Su noticed that something was off when he came out of the house. Seeing Zhao An and Gen, he remembered that it had been about a week since they last met. “Xiao An, Gen, you’re here so early. Come in and have a seat.”

Hearing his voice, Zhao An’s female father and male father looked up and saw a young female approaching from afar. He had a fair complexion that seemed to glow in the sunlight, and his big black cat-like eyes were lively and agile. When he smiled, two adorable dimples appeared on his cheeks, making people naturally feel fond of him and friendly toward him.

Su Ge saw him coming and opened the courtyard gate for him.

Lin Su smiled and said, “You go invite Lin Feng to have a meal. I’ll take care of things here.”

“Oh, okay.” Su Ge’s eyes lit up with a smile at the mention of food. He turned and called Lin Feng to go to the neighboring place.

Seeing the two of them leave, Zhao An’s male father took a deep breath cautiously and thought to himself that Lin Su was indeed extraordinary.

Zhao An greeted them with a smile, “Lin Su, this is my male father and female father. They came with us today. We apologize for the intrusion.”

Lin Su smiled and nodded to Zhao An’s male and female fathers, “Xiao An, you take your parents inside to rest. I’ll join you after I finish eating.”

“Alright, Lin Su, you take your time. I don’t mind waiting. We came today because we wanted you to help my male father. Like Gen, my male father is also an A-rank Contract Beastman, but without any mental disorder. We just want to prevent any potential problems.”

Zhao An had an anxious yet hopeful expression on his face, afraid that Lin Su would find them troublesome and refuse to treat his male father.

Lin Su hadn’t expected Zhao An to be a “money child” who could earn money without refusing. “Okay, I’ll take a look at your male father later. But just like Gen’s A-rank Beast Mark, it requires more than ten repairs. It’s not something that can be done in a short time. You need to think it through.”

“Don’t worry, we’ve already heard about this from Xiao An. As long as we can completely cure the mental disorder, we’re willing,” Zhao An’s female father respectfully replied. “As long as you don’t find us troublesome.”

“You’re being too polite, Uncle. Zhao Ge and I are friends, and he often takes care of my business. Besides, I’m grateful for your trust. So, you can sit for a while, and I’ll join you after I eat.”

Lin Su was friendly and approachable, without a hint of arrogance. In an instant, he bridged the gap between himself and the Zhao family, making them feel comfortable and at ease.

After Lin Su left, Zhao An’s female father held Zhao An’s hand and said, “This Lin Su seems really nice. I didn’t expect him to be so easygoing.”

“I’ve always said that Lin Su is great, haven’t I?” Zhao An replied with a smile.

“After all, I hadn’t seen him with my own eyes,” His female father turned to his male father and asked, “What do you think?”

“With such incredible abilities and still maintaining pure kindness, no one would find fault with him. This little female is impressive.”

Su Ge noticed Lin Su’s return while they were eating and couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, are the Zhao family the guests of Lin Su?”

Lin Feng looked at Su Jin and seemed interested in the topic as well.

Su Jin nodded, “Yes, little Zhao’s partner, Gen, also has a mental disorder.”

“Lin Su’s purification ability is very useful for mental disorders. Uncle, are you especially proud of Lin Su?” Su Ge asked with curiosity. He couldn’t say these things to Lin Su, so he turned to Su Jin for information.

“Of course. If our family doesn’t have a little Su, we don’t know what our life will be like. We’ve put a lot of pressure on him, and meeting little Su is truly a gift from the Beast God.”

Whenever he thought about this, Su Jin couldn’t help but be grateful to the Beast God, while feeling guilty towards Lin Su.

If a little female like Lin Su had been adopted by a good family back then, he wouldn’t have suffered so much.

Su Ge sensed something different in Su Jin’s words and exchanged a glance with Lin Feng, tentatively asking, “What do you mean by that, Uncle? Isn’t Lin Su your biological child?”

“It’s not a secret, so I can tell you. He was picked up by my partner and me. At that time, he was only five or six months old, thin and small, but exceptionally beautiful.”

When talking about Lin Su’s childhood, Su Jin’s face was filled with a smile that couldn’t hide his shortcomings.

However, these words didn’t sit well with Su Jin and Lin Feng. It was hard to imagine that such an outstanding little female had such a background.

Especially Lin Feng, who seemed to think of something, softly said, “You’re all good people.”

He hoped his little brother could be so lucky and grow up safely.

Su Ge sensed the change in Lin Feng’s expression and quickly said, “Yes, Uncle, you’re all good people. Good people receive the care of the Beast God.”

“If the Beast God cares, then they should care for our little Su instead. We are already very happy now.”

“We definitely will.”

After finishing breakfast, Lin Su and William came out of their room together. Lin Feng and Su Ge had already finished eating and went back to the neighboring place to work.

Su Jin heard that Zhao An had come over and knew that Lin Su would be performing the second Beast Mark repair for Gen soon. “I’m worried that Lin Su might be overwhelmed by Zhao’s family. It’s too much for him, right?”

“Don’t worry, male father. I will do what I can. I’ll go with William first, and you come after you’re done.”

“Okay.”

When Lin Feng and Su Ge saw William and Lin Su coming together, they instinctively straightened their bodies and looked at William with respectful gazes.

Feeling their gaze, William gently raised his eyes, and his eerie beast-like pupils glanced disinterestedly at the two of them before looking away without any intention of responding.

It was Lin Su who suddenly spoke up, “Lin Feng, can I borrow your lab?”

“Oh, sure.” Lin Feng put down the broom in his hand and went to open the door. Since Lin Su had lent him the neighboring room as a lab, he had also given him the keys. He opened the door, and Lin Su supported William as they entered.

Seeing them suddenly coming over, Zhao An and his family, who were sitting in the adjacent consultation room, stood up. Zhao An and Gen, who were already aware of William’s identity, felt a slight tightness in their hearts. The unsuspecting Zhao An’s male and female fathers’ gaze fell on the half-beast male figure that had just appeared, their eyes full of unconcealed shock.

Su Jin came over, carrying Tiao Tiao, and placed the cut fruit plate on the table before stepping aside, looking at Lin Su with a hint of concern.

Lin Feng and Su Ge stood at the door, puzzled and completely unaware of what was happening.

In fact, from the first day they saw the bedroom’s decoration, Lin Feng and Su Ge couldn’t help but speculate about its purpose, but they never had an answer.

But it seemed that today was the moment when the mysterious veil of this bedroom would be unveiled.

For a moment, neither of them had any intention of leaving. They stood quietly at the door, patiently waiting.

William, who was sitting in the adjacent room, looked at the array of instruments and turned his head to look at Lin Feng standing at the door.

Speaking of the Lin family’s great contribution to the Empire in recent years, after the birth of the first appeaser, there was hope for the treatment of mental disorders. Although the existence of the appeaser did not provide a complete cure, it could prolong life when necessary, giving a glimmer of hope for continued survival.

Even though there had been no further progress in the decades after the birth of the appeaser, the value of the appeaser to the Empire and the value of the Lin family to the Empire could not be denied.

Lin Su didn’t rush Lin Feng and Su Ge to leave. This kind of thing would sooner or later be known by others, so it didn’t matter whether it was sooner or later.

Lin Su pulled a chair and sat down, smiling at Gen, “Since the last repair, how do you feel?”

“It’s been great all along. Communication between me and Xiong has become particularly smooth, and there haven’t been any uncomfortable swellings in the spiritual domain. The most important thing is that my sleep has improved, almost the same as when I wasn’t ill. I can sleep soundly throughout the night.”

It should be noted that insomnia is the main cause of rapid physical deterioration in patients with mental disorders. For Gen, who has experienced the pain of insomnia, being able to sleep soundly throughout the night is especially satisfying.

Lin Su was very satisfied with Gen’s feedback. “The precautions are the same as last time, no matter what, don’t move. Zhao Ge, I still need you to assist from the side. Also, let’s first observe Gen’s repair process today. If you still have the intention afterward, we can discuss the repair time. I must tell you honestly that my abilities are limited now, and there must be a time interval between you and Gen. Otherwise, I might not be able to handle it physically.”

Zhao An’s male father quickly replied, “We understand, having a time interval is fine. The most important thing is your well-being.”

“Then, please keep quiet later, everyone.”

“Alright, we definitely won’t disturb you.”

“Okay, Gen, let Xiong come out.”

Gen nodded and released the little raccoon. The moment the little creature appeared, it seemed to be frightened by the people in the room. It swiftly clung to Gen’s leg and timidly looked at the people in the room, unable to conceal its fear. Finally, its gaze fell on Lin Su.

It clearly had some impression of Lin Su, and its short, chubby tail behind it wagged, hugging it in its arms.

Lin Su reached out and rubbed its head with a smile. “Xiong seems to be in much better spirits.”

“Yes.” Gen looked indulgently at the little creature at his feet and gently patted its head, telling it, “This is Mr. Lin Su.”

Lin Feng and Su Ge, standing at the door, exchanged a glance and could see the confusion in each other’s eyes.

They understood every word that Lin Su and Gen had just said, but they had no idea what it meant.

Lin Su applied some blood of an A-level contract beast to his palm. “Let’s begin, Gen.”

“Okay.”

Almost in the instant after Gen responded, a piercing pain spread throughout his body from the beast mark on his palm, as if his skin was being peeled and his bones were being ripped apart. His once good complexion instantly turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhao An held his shoulder to prevent him from moving in case he couldn’t bear it.

Even though it wasn’t the first time he had experienced it, Zhao An’s gaze at Gen was still full of worry.

In stark contrast to Gen’s reaction, the little raccoon rolled around on the ground, making comfortable sounds.

The dense natural elements in the air stimulated all the male beast marks present.

The nearest person, Zhao An’s male father, almost lost his balance due to the sudden situation. Fortunately, his partner supported him. The cool natural elements flowed through his body, making his scalp tingle with comfort.

If he didn’t have the ability to maintain his composure, he would have wanted to roll on the ground without caring about his dignity, just like a raccoon.

The perplexity on Lin Feng and Su Ge’s faces deepened at this moment. They had experienced the activation of beast marks before when Lin Su produced the fruit tree, so they were not unfamiliar with this phenomenon.

What puzzled the two of them was the reaction of Gen and what exactly Lin Su was doing.

With half-closed eyes, William’s beast marks on his chest greedily plundered the floating natural elements in the air. According to his ability, no male beast marks present could surpass him.

However, his body was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many natural elements there were, it was still a drop in the bucket.

The long-eared rabbit lying at his feet forgot about the danger and actively rubbed against William’s leg, making contented sounds.

As a result, its white fur expanded even more.

Feeling that his powers were about to be depleted, Lin Su didn’t persist and ended this repair session proactively. When his hand moved away from Gen’s hand, the chaotic and disorderly beast marks in Gen’s palm gained some intricate patterns.

Su Jin walked over and fed him a piece of sliced strawberry. “Are you okay, Xiao Su?”

Lin Su nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m fine, Female Father.”

After this repair session, he clearly felt that he had touched the threshold of an upgrade. According to his calculations, he would be able to advance during the next repair session for Gen.

Just thinking about it made him somewhat excited.

Just like the previous time, Gen fell into a deep sleep after the session ended. With the experience from last time, Zhao An was already prepared this time.

Watching Gen comfortably snoring, Zhao An’s male father smiled and said, “Thank you, Lin Su. How is your health?”

Lin Su regained some strength after eating some fruit. Although fatigue still showed on his face, his mental state was good. “Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll be fine after resting. Uncle, you’ve seen it, the process is very painful. According to my current abilities, you’ll probably have to endure this kind of pain about ten times.”

As for what it would be like after his powers were upgraded, he couldn’t say for certain yet.

Zhao An’s female father looked at his partner upon hearing this. He was actually somewhat worried. Gen’s pain was almost palpable, but the results were also very significant.

While feeling heartache for his partner having to endure such pain, he also wanted his partner to be completely cured and no longer suffer from mental disorders, so that their family could live a peaceful life.

“I’ll do it. I can endure the pain, Lin Su, when can you arrange it for me?” After experiencing Lin Su’s miraculous abilities, all the doubts in Zhao An’s male father’s heart completely vanished. He knew very well that it wouldn’t be easy to find this young female again if they gave up this time and wanted him to treat their mental disorders in the future.

Lin Su’s value couldn’t be hidden for much longer.

“The next repair for Gen will still be in a week. During this period, you should consume purified fruits and vegetables to maintain your physical condition. Uncle, you can come the day after tomorrow, and I’ll perform the repair for you then.”

“What about the blood of the contract beast?”

“Since you and Gen are of the same level, there’s no need for additional preparations. These will be sufficient.”

“Alright, then we’ll trouble you again at that time.”

“Don’t mention it. I run a business, and it’s a fair transaction where you pay and I put in the effort. That’s settled then. I’ll take my leave.”

“Okay, take care.”

Lin Su initially wanted to see them off in person, but his offer was declined politely. Su Jin was worried that Lin Su might trip, so he had been protecting him carefully. As they passed by Lin Feng and Su Ge, who still had shocked expressions on their faces, Lin Su smiled and said, “I know you have a lot of questions. I’ll come back once I’ve rested.”

Lin Feng nodded solemnly, and his gaze toward Lin Su was filled with awe. “Okay, please take care of yourself.”

As they watched Lin Su leave, Su Ge subconsciously grabbed Lin Feng’s sleeve. “Lin Feng, I’m not imagining things, right? Lin Su can really treat mental disorders, right?”

Su Ge didn’t understand why there would be someone like this. Just when you thought he was already impressive, he could become even more powerful, constantly surprising everyone.

William leaned against the wall and walked out of the room. His cold, golden beast eyes fell on Lin Feng and Su Ge, and the sudden pressure made Su Ge and Lin Feng instinctively stiffen their bodies, feeling as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast, and a strong sense of unease rose in their hearts.

They initially thought that William would ignore them like before, but they didn’t expect that the tall and imposing male, even in his half-beast form, still maintained his dignity and actually appeared even more ferocious. “How should we handle this situation? Have you thought about it?”
