Lin Muci had guessed that Ji Feng would come looking for her soon, but she hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly.
After her classes ended that afternoon, Ji Feng had already found her.
He didn't make a big fuss. When Lin Muci finished packing her things and walked out of the classroom after class, the man was waiting for her in the sunlight.
He saw her immediately.
Despite being a general who had experienced countless dangers on the battlefield, who had witnessed so much life and death, in this ordinary afternoon, with the sunlight stretching out, he stood there and saw the fair-faced girl look over at him with a hint of curiosity, her eyes curving into a smile in an instant.
His heart felt as if it had been swept by a spring breeze, instantly scattering a myriad of flowers at his feet. He had never felt so warm!
His body trembled.
The girl opposite him, smiling, rushed directly towards him.
"Daddy?"
"I knew you would find me!"
The girl threw herself at him without the slightest hesitation. As she came before him, she directly hugged his neck, her voice filled with immense warmth.
"Daddy!"
In that instant, the excitement in his heart was indescribable. The girl in front of him raised her head, her eyes filled with pure trust. He reached out, gently patting the top of her head, his voice trembling.
"I finally... found you."
"Are you being bullied here?"
"Are you doing well?"
"My cub..."
His daughter, his most beloved treasure, he would never let anyone hurt her again.
When he had come to the Central Planet, he had only held a sliver of hope. He never imagined that this girl would truly appear before him like this.
It felt like a dream; he even doubted if he had fallen into a dream and couldn't wake up. Heaven had taken pity on him, and the universe's destiny had allowed him to see this girl.
"How did you end up here?"
Lin Muci shook her head.
"It's a long story."
"By the way, Daddy, some people are already looking. How about we go talk nearby so as not to disturb the other students?"
Ji Feng pulled her along, asking her incessant questions. He was only somewhat relieved to know she was living alone in the academy dorms but was still worried she might be bullied. Moreover, his daughter was a female beast, a female beast with an extremely high gestation value, how could she stay here? This place was not safe at all.
What if her identity was exposed? Wouldn't she be bullied?
The matter that occupied the old father's mind was how to protect his daughter!
Lin Muci, however, looked at her father and spoke earnestly.
"You don't need to worry about me."
"I chose to come to the Mecha Academy myself, and I'm very interested in mechas. I've selected a god-tier mecha on the Central Planet called 'Destiny,' and I even defeated three senior students who provoked me."
Ji Feng's anger flared even more upon hearing this.
"Who? Who dared to provoke you?"
"In this world, someone actually dared to provoke you?"
"I'll kill them!"
Ji Feng was furious. How could there be such ignorant people in this world who dared to cause trouble for his daughter? He snorted coldly, his expression turning extremely frigid, as if he wanted to rush out immediately and flay these individuals alive. Lin Muci quickly soothed her father.
"It's okay."
"I defeated them, and because they provoked a freshman, they can no longer enter the military or the council. Even their families were affected. Such a punishment is already very, very severe..."
She was about to indulge in a bit more playful affection with her father when a girl from the distance walked towards her angrily, pointing a finger at her. The girl's tone suggested that Lin Muci had committed some heinous crime.
"How dare you secretly conspire with other men behind the Governor's back and the military's Artos?"
"Did this man keep you?"
"You female student, how shameless are you—a common girl like you, how could you do such a shameless thing? Do you think you're a top-tier female beast?"
"If you don't have the guts, don't take on the job. You're not a top female beast, what kind of mesmerizing trick are you trying to play?"
"If you were that female beast with an extremely high gestation value, I might tolerate it. But you, a common girl, do you really think you're a heartbreaker?"
The girl who rushed out to scold Lin Muci was also a female beast.
Furthermore, before Lin Muci arrived on the Central Planet, she had been the most sought-after female beast on the entire Central Planet.
Lin Muci was initially stunned, but she quickly recalled the girl's identity.
"Shangguan Bingyan?"
The girl looked at her indignantly, her expression suggesting she harbored a deep animosity towards Lin Muci.
"It's one thing to lose to her, but how could I even lose to a common girl like you? I'm a female beast!"
"You promiscuous woman, to think Governor Yang Lanyan and Lord Artos are backing you, and yet you're here consorting with wild men..."
"Did he keep you?"
"How shameless you are!"
This girl was Shangguan Bingyan, who had almost become Yang Lanyan's official fiancée. As a precious female beast from a prominent family on the Central Planet, she had asked her brother to bring her into the academy. She was still unwilling to give up and wanted to find another opportunity to approach Yang Lanyan.
Unexpectedly, she caught the freshman from the mecha academy, who had gained fame for the Destiny mecha, being so shameless with another man.
She took a deep breath and intensified her tone.
"Don't think you're amazing just because you can control the Destiny mecha and go to battle. We female beasts are the truly most precious assets. If threatened, you'll be the first to be sacrificed!"
"And we female beasts are always protected, always placed in the safest rear positions!"
"What can you compare to me?"
Ji Feng, standing nearby, was speechless. Ji Feng had intended to reprimand this ignorant female beast, but his beloved daughter kept signaling him with her eyes, urging him to remain calm.
Therefore, Ji Feng restrained himself.
However, seeing the young female beast's insults becoming increasingly harsh, he naturally took note of it in his heart.
This young female beast—ungrateful, how dare she cross his beloved daughter?
Seeking death!
After the girl finished her proud scolding, she then said:
"I'm going to find the Governor!"
Lin Muci felt a headache coming on from the girl's stupidity. The girl turned to leave, and Ji Feng, beside her, snorted with clear displeasure.
"What's with her attitude? Our Little Ci is the best in the world—how can she think Little Ci isn't worthy of these men she's talking about?"
"Our treasure is not some scavenger. Let all these men get lost!"
"My treasure will be protected by me for a lifetime. Let no other scummy man dare to lay a finger on her!"
What if he, Ji Feng, acted as an irrational, fiercely protective parent? So be it!
