TL: Moonlit

After resting for a while, Xie Bai regained his vitality, and the green sprouts on his head did not appear again.

Lin Su called William, and they all got in the car and headed to the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant.

To celebrate the newlyweds, Xie Bai and Su Ge, Su Jin had already hung a sign saying “Closed for private gathering” early in the morning.

Several tables were merged together, and a group of people gathered around, lively and animated. They drank the wine brewed by Lin Su himself, accompanied by dim and bright lights, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

The hot pot on the table exuded a tantalizing aroma. They ate, drank, and chatted happily. This time, William only had a small drink. Lin Su noticed and smiled, holding his hand, “If you like it, drink a little more. If you get drunk, I’ll carry you back.”

William smiled, using his big tail to wrap around Lin Su’s wrist and rubbed against it. “I’m heavy. I might crush you.”

Lin Su held the tip of his tail tightly and lifted his chin slightly, revealing two dimples on his cheek. “Don’t underestimate me. I’m quite strong too.”

It was evident that he was dissatisfied with William’s statement that he could crush him.

William didn’t argue and gently rubbed his head with his hand. “I can’t bear to do that.”

Since the last time William said he wanted to be more open and direct, he had indeed changed a lot. In the past, he wouldn’t say such things, or he would only say them when they were alone, when Lin Su’s teasing had stirred his emotions. He couldn’t be as direct as he was now.

Lin Su realized that, whether in the past or now, he couldn’t resist William’s charm.

With slightly flushed cheeks and bright black eyes, Lin Su looked at William with sweet affection in his eyes.

William’s throat tightened under the direct gaze of the little female. He restrained himself and rolled his eyes, lightly brushing the corner of Lin Su’s lips with his thumb. At the moment when everyone’s attention shifted, he planted a kiss, and then their eyes met, both with smiles.

This secret and affectionate act in front of others, taking advantage of everyone’s inattention, was both exciting and exhilarating.

Lin Su held the big tail tightly in his arms, burying his head against it and rubbing it. His exposed ears blushed with embarrassment.

When the gathering ended, everyone was slightly intoxicated. Perhaps due to drinking wine with high levels of natural elements, the green sprouts on Xie Bai’s head reappeared, curly and lush, exuding an exceptionally adorable charm.

Su Ge couldn’t resist reaching out and poking it, causing Xie Bai to soften and slump in his embrace.

Realizing something, Su Ge’s eyes gleamed with profound meaning.

Afterward, Lin Su held William’s hand and said, “Shall we take a walk?”

“Sure.” Since arriving at the North Star, he had never been outside before. The thought of strolling hand in hand with Lin Su like today was something he never dared to imagine before.

The North Star was a bit chilly at night. The evening breeze brushed against their cheeks, carrying a refreshing scent. There were few people on the streets. Kane and Su Jin had been driven home by Lin Feng, leaving only the two of them walking hand in hand on their way home.

The streetlights cast long shadows as they intertwined together.

Lin Su’s lips curved into a smile. “I’m very satisfied with our current life.”

William tilted his head and his golden eyes reflected tenderness. “Every day with you makes me content.”

The smile on Lin Su’s lips widened, and he laughed out loud. He reached out and grabbed the collar of William’s shirt, pulling him closer. Tilting his head slightly, he stared into the large golden beast eyes of the fox. “I want to kiss you.”

To see if his big fox had a sweet tooth.

On the way back, while Lin Feng was driving Kane and Su Jin, he casually asked, “Lin Su is going to the capital star. When are you planning to leave, Uncle?”

“Xiao Su wants us to wait until he arranges everything. Personally, I don’t want him to work so hard. Xiao Su has already given us so much.” Su Jin felt guilty thinking about how Lin Su, such a young female, had taken on the burden of the family. After all, females like Lin Su were showered with love and affection.

It was only their Lin Su who was so considerate.

“Uncle, what Lin Su does isn’t for you to repay. He just hopes that you can be well.” Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel sorry as he thought about the time he had spent with Lin Su. Lin Su almost took care of everyone’s feelings, showing thoughtfulness in every aspect. It made Lin Feng’s heart ache. “Uncle, where did you find him back then?”

“It was quite a coincidence. At that time, Kane hadn’t retired yet, and I went to visit him. Near the old terminal building before the North Star, I heard crying. At first, I didn’t think it would be a little cub. But as I got closer, I saw a dirty little one wearing a white shirt with flowers, crying pitifully. He was thin and small, so I brought him back. At first, I thought his family would come looking for him. I left a message and went to the terminal building a few times, but no one came. So I took him to complete the adoption process. When Kane came back, he was overjoyed to see Lin Su.”

As Su Jin talked about these things, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Kane held his partner’s hand. “If Xiao Su had found a good family back then, he would be even happier now.”

Upon hearing the mention of the flowered shirt, Lin Feng’s heart couldn’t help but pound uncontrollably. Suppressing his excitement, he asked, “Uncle, do you still have that little shirt?”

“Of course. It’s something that can prove Lin Su’s identity. In case his biological parents come looking for him one day, we have evidence.” Su Jin spoke naturally, indicating that from the beginning, he never thought of monopolizing Lin Su.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but glance at Su Jin. He understood very well that if it weren’t for Lin Su, Kane and Su Jin would be ordinary people. Perhaps they would spend their entire lives on the North Star.

“As long as you don’t mind, have his biological parents found him?”

“If they really managed to find him, it would mean they still have some conscience. They didn’t forget about this little cub after all these years and even knew how to make amends. Xiao Su is such a good cub, deserving the love of his family. It’s something that Kane and I cannot provide. So why would we mind? As long as Lin Su is happy, we will support whatever he decides. If Lin Su doesn’t want it, we won’t give him away.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but admire Kane and Su Jin. Not many people could match their magnanimity.

After returning home, Kane and Su Jin reminded Lin Feng not to stay up too late and to rest early before going to their room.

Lin Feng watched them leave and ran to a corner of the courtyard to communicate with his third brother, Lin Yue, who was far away on the Skye Star. He inquired about the progress there. “What’s the situation over there? Any progress?”

Lin Yue’s reply came quickly, as if he had been waiting for his message. “We found the little shirt, but haven’t found the person yet.”

Lin Feng asked, “When can the genetic testing be done?”

Lin Yue responded, “I don’t know when we’ll see the person. We’re still trying to figure it out. The adoptive parents aren’t willing to accept this situation. The female father has been staring at that shirt all day. I feel like he already considers the other side as our little brother. Second brother, why does it feel like this situation has become mysterious again? I really don’t want to see the female father disappointed again, but both Male Father and I have no way out. Do you think the one we found this time is really our little brother?”

Lin Feng knew very well that over the years, their search for their little brother, Lin Nuo1their youngest brother’s ‘supposed to be’ name ^v^, had faced countless setbacks and false hopes.

They returned disappointed time and time again, depleting their hopes over and over.

Even though Qin Yi always said he was fine when they returned, the truth was that he couldn’t recover for a long time.

But every time they had a lead, hope would surge within them.

They were really worried that one day Qin Yi would collapse under the pressure.

“I hope this time it’s real,” Lin Feng said.

“I hope so too. Second brother, how have you been on the North Star recently? Does the new grape wine you developed really help? Can you get some for me to try?” Lin Yue suddenly asked.

Lin Feng’s heart tightened upon receiving such a message. “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly want to try this?”

Both he and Qin Yi were researchers in the field of mental disorders. Previously, Lin Yue didn’t show much interest in their research results. Suddenly showing interest in the grape wine made Lin Feng’s heart instinctively alert.

Lin Yue couldn’t help but sigh at Lin Feng’s sensitivity. He had intended to talk to Lin Feng about this upon his return. “I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, and my mental domain occasionally swells with pain. I feel like something’s not right. Didn’t you say that the purity of your grape wine is even higher than that of sedatives? If I drink it now, maybe it’ll help me feel better. Let me give it a try!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately became excited. “How long has it been? Why are you only saying this now?”

Lin Yue replied, “I was planning to talk to you about it when I came back this time. Don’t tell the female father for now. I’m afraid he’ll worry.”

Lin Feng said, “After this matter is resolved, come to the North Star. I’ll take a look at your condition and then decide.”

Lin Yue: “Alright, Second Brother, can I ask you for a favor? Can you use your connections to ask Lord Lin Su to repair my beast pattern? Have you already completed the repairs?”

Lin Feng thought to himself, ‘Not only have I completed the repairs, but I’ve also upgraded from an S-rank Contract Beastman to an SS-rank Contract Beastman. I’m afraid it would be too overwhelming to tell you. That’s why I haven’t informed you yet.’ He replied, “Come over first, and let me assess the situation. Lin Su and Prince William will return to the capital star after a while. If the situation is severe, I’ll find a way to ask for his help.”

Lin Yue: “Oh, they’re coming to the capital star? Then it’ll be convenient for us to meet in the future.”

Lin Feng said, “Don’t have any ulterior motives. Recently, I asked for some fruit to be sent to you through express delivery. Have some first.”

Lin Yue: “I have some already. No need. Female Father is coming down. Maybe he has some news.”

The communication was cut off. Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then edited the words he had with Su Jin earlier and sent them to Lin Te.

He was conflicted now. On one hand, he hoped that this trip to the Skye Star would truly find their little brother and spare Qin Yi from further disappointment. On the other hand, he also wished that Lin Su was their missing little brother. “Ah!”

“Lin Feng, why are you squatting in the yard so late?”

Suddenly, Lin Su’s voice startled Lin Feng. He turned around and saw William and Lin Su standing not far behind him. He didn’t know when the two of them had returned or how long they had been standing there. He wondered if they had seen the message he just sent to Lin Te and Lin Yue.

Looking at Lin Su with a guilty conscience, he replied, “Nothing, just getting some fresh air.”

Lin Su yawned, his eyes slightly red. “It’s getting late. You should rest early too. William, let’s go back.”

William nodded, and his cool golden eyes swept over Lin Feng’s face, making him feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Back in the room, William reached out and gently rubbed Lin Su’s head. “Go wash up and sleep.”

“Okay.” Lin Su’s voice sounded tired and hoarse. He turned into the adjacent bathroom, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

William sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the closed bathroom door. As a male and an SSS gene holder, his senses were not only better than those of females but also superior to most males.

He had a clear view of the screen that Lin Feng had opened earlier without any privacy filters.

The fact that the Lin family had a missing infant for many years was not a secret on the capital star. The royal family even established a department specifically for finding lost orphaned infants.

However, what he didn’t expect was that both Lin Feng and Lin Te would suspect that Lin Su might be that missing infant from the Lin family.

Considering the timeline, there might indeed be a possibility.

As one of the prominent families in the capital star, the Lin family had the best conduct and background. If Lin Su truly belonged to the Lin family, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

The sound of the closed bathroom door opening broke the silence, and a flushed face emerged. Lin Su, wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, exposed his fair legs as he hopped onto the bed barefoot, saying, “William, hurry up and wash. The water is still hot. After you finish, go to sleep.”

William’s gaze softened as he replied, “If you’re sleepy, go ahead and sleep.”

Lin Su lay there, feeling less drowsy after taking a shower. His gaze fell on William’s large tail, and he reached out to gently touch it, saying, “William, if there’s time, let me wash your tail. I think it would be lovely to wash it with soapy water, making it smell nice and fluffy.”

William paused for a moment and smiled. “Is that what you like? But what if one day I no longer have a tail or ears? Would you still like me?”

The tail and ears were not something he naturally possessed. If his mental disorder was cured, these two features would disappear, and he would return to his original form. It didn’t mean they would never reappear, but they wouldn’t be as frequent as they were now.

Clutching William’s large tail, Lin Su was never tired of touching and rubbing it. No matter how many times he had touched or rubbed it, he adored William’s tail. If one day it disappeared from William’s body, he might find it difficult to adjust. “I like you. Initially, it was because of your ears and tail that I chose you. But later, I discovered that you as a person also fit my preferences. Now, what I like is you, regardless of whether you have ears or a tail.”

William met the sincere black eyes of the young female, and a gentle smile curved his lips. “Really?”

Lin Su gently stroked the tail while resting his white and tender feet on the bed. “Really!”

William withdrew his tail from Lin Su’s embrace. “I believe you.”

Hugging the pillow, Lin Su’s gaze fell on the bathroom door, listening to the sound of running water. He couldn’t help but wonder what William thought when he washed his ears and tail. Did he find himself cute too?

When William emerged from the bathroom, the young female maintained his previous posture, lying on the bed with a cute, flushed face.

His golden eyes reflected a tender smile as he sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Lin Su’s hair. “Little trickster.”

The next morning, as Lin Su stepped out of the room, he was greeted by Lin Feng’s bright black eyes. “Lin Su, you’re finally awake.”

His gaze swept over the dark circles under Lin Feng’s eyes, and Lin Su looked at the report Lin Feng was holding. “Did you stay up all night again?”

“It doesn’t matter. Look, this is the report from Xie Bai on the purification of fruits yesterday. The naturally occurring elements in the purified produce have reached 63%, indicating an initial soothing effect. Next, I want Xie Bai to purify some seeds and see if the naturally occurring elements in the fruits and vegetables grown from them will increase.”

Lin Feng’s face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. With just this result, he felt he could stay up for several more nights.

“You can handle that on your own. But now, go to sleep immediately. I don’t want you to drop dead in my house one day. Go now,” urged Lin Su. Lin Feng wasn’t annoyed by Lin Su’s urging and obediently nodded. When he saw Su Jin coming out, he greeted him happily before leaving in a dazed manner.

Watching him leave, Su Jin walked over. “Lin Su, what did he discover this time? He looks so excited.”

“Just some data. He can be excited for a long time with just that. There’s no need to worry about anything. If the female father is not in a hurry to the restaurant today, stay at home for a while. I want to repair your beast pattern,” Lin Su explained.

“My beast pattern?” Su Jin was puzzled by the sudden statement. “There’s nothing wrong with my beast pattern. Save your energy.”

“I’m not tired. I’ll be quick,” assured Lin Su.

Su Jin’s beast pattern was only C-grade, so it wouldn’t consume too much energy for Lin Su.

Lin Su explained to Su Jin about Xie Bai’s ability to repair beast patterns and the purification of naturally occurring elements. After learning that Lin Su wanted to compare whether all females who had their patterns repaired would possess the purification ability, Su Jin agreed. “But my genes aren’t as good as Xie Bai’s. Will it work?”

“It might not work, but there’s no harm in giving it a try. Maybe there will be some other changes,” Lin Su replied.

After having breakfast, Su Jin followed Lin Su to the neighboring room. He had been Lin Su’s “assistant” for quite some time, but now it was his turn to experience it firsthand.

Su Jin sat on the bed with the C-grade contract beast pattern on his wrist. As he rolled up his sleeve, the chaotic yellow C-grade beast pattern emerged.

“Don’t worry, Female Father. Repairing the beast pattern for females isn’t as painful as it is for males. It might even be quite comfortable,” reassured Lin Su.

“Really?”

“Yes, just look at Xie Bai. It’s quite enjoyable for him.”

“That’s good. You can start. I know the rules and won’t move randomly.”

“Alright.” As Lin Su spoke, a green glow emanated from his palm, transforming into threads that penetrated the beast pattern.

The cool and comfortable sensation was like a handful of clear springwater hydrating a parched body. Su Jin instinctively bit his lip, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red from the suppressed comfort. Lin Su was right; it was indeed very pleasant.

The contract plant appeared uncontrollably, and beautiful camellia flowers bloomed on Su Jin’s body. The fragrance of the flowers, mixed with the fresh scent of natural elements, filled the air. A unique white camellia flower blossomed abruptly on Su Jin’s head, standing out from the other flowers.

The green glow disappeared from Lin Su’s palm, and when the healing process was complete, Su Jin was still a bit dazed. It wasn’t until he heard Lin Su’s voice that he snapped out of it.

“Are you okay, Female Father?” Lin Su asked.

“I feel… I’ve never felt this good before.” Su Jin moved, and the red camellia flower that had been blooming on his body fell down with a rustling sound. Only the white camellia flower on his head didn’t drop.

Lin Su reached out and gently touched it, causing Su Jin’s body to stiffen. Then, the white camellia flower fell, revealing a palm-sized, translucent white camellia flower with a delightful fragrance exuding a strong natural power.

“Why is this flower this color?” Su Jin was startled by the change in his contract plant’s color. Fortunately, the other flowers were still red, but it made this particular one stand out even more.

“Female Father, how do you feel now?”

Su Jin regained his senses, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body. He realized that his contract plant had undergone some changes. Astonished, he opened his eyes, spread his hands, and a white camellia flower identical to the one in Lin Su’s hand appeared in his palm.

“I feel a pure and natural power within me. Every time I use this power, the camellia flower turns white.”

“Lin Su, Uncle, what happened just now…” Lin Feng, who had already fallen asleep, saw the camellia flowers in Lin Su and Su Jin’s hands and his eyes lit up. He walked up to them in a few steps and said, “Uncle, this is your contract plant. It possesses such a dense natural power.”

“Perfect timing. Take these and have them tested. I think my female father’s purification ability might be different from Xie Bai’s,” Lin Su suggested.

Lin Su had a faint guess that these white camellia flowers might have a purifying effect when consumed.

No need for further explanation, Lin Feng carefully took the two white camellia flowers and went to the laboratory for analysis and testing.

Su Jin looked at Lin Su. “Xiao Su, are you okay?”

Lin Su smiled and said, “Female Father, I’m much stronger now than before. Don’t worry, it didn’t consume too much.”

Seeing that Lin Su’s expression seemed genuine, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It’s getting late, so I’ll go to the restaurant first.”

“Go ahead.” Lin Su watched Su Jin leave with enthusiasm, his lips curled up. He looked at the bright sunshine outside and thought it was a nice day to have the big fox come out and sunbathe.

Lin Su had completed everything on North Star and had officially confirmed the time to go to the capital star with William.

When Bruno received the news, he breathed a sigh of relief. Their Royal Highness, the prince, was finally going to return to the capital star with his princess.

Looking at the tall male suddenly appearing in the courtyard, Lin Su couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Bruno stepped forward respectfully and spoke, “Your Highness, I am Bruno. I apologize for hiding my identity last time. Please forgive me.”

“Oh, it’s you. No wonder I felt something strange about you last time,” Lin Su said and then looked at William, who was sitting in the courtyard. “You came here for some business, right? Go and attend to it.”

William had brought Bruno over and had intentionally arranged some matters. When Lin Su came out of the courtyard carrying the sliced fruits, the conversation between the two stopped several times.

Lin Su realized that the big fox seemed to be doing something behind his back.

After Bruno left, Lin Su sat down beside William and held a big, red strawberry in his hand. “Tell me, what were you planning to do behind my back?”

William knew that Lin Su, being clever as he was, wouldn’t easily miss anything.

Facing the straightforward question from the little female, William chuckled lightly and gently patted Lin Su’s head. “My princess, if you’re going back to the capital star with me, how can I not have an escort?”

Lin Su was taken aback by his words, but before he could say anything.

William continued, “I want everyone to know that you belong to me.”
