Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 37 Just before the door completely closed, Nyx saw a flash in front of her eyes and heard the doctor exclaim, "Oh no! It escaped!" 78% The doctor quickly closed the examination room door, but he was just an ordinary male, not fast enough compared to the SS-level speed of Aurelius and was a step too slow.

A white shadow, fast as lightning, darted out in the blink of an eye.

The doctor hastily opened the door again, chasing after Nyx while calling for security to catch the unusually fast cat.

"Are you sure it's really a cat?" The doctor gasped, wiping sweat from his brow, and cautiously hinted to Nyx. "Its speed is a bit too much; it seems it doesn't want to undergo the check-up.

The check-up was supposed to be a light, painless process, with ordinary small animals only slightly nervous, not scared to this extent.

Perhaps only male Beastmen pretending to be pets, afraid their crimes would be exposed, would desperately try to flee like this.

Nyx didn't understand the doctor's hint.

She gave the doctor a quick nod, her eyes still scanning the room for Cotton Candy.

She had known Cotton Candy was a very timid kitten, but she hadn't expected it to be this scared. Nyx regretted rushing to bring it for registration.

She silently vowed that once she found Cotton Candy, she would take it straight home. As for the check-up and registration, they could wait for another time.

Once Cotton Candy felt secure enough under her care, it wouldn't be so easily frightened anymore.

Perhaps her prayers had been answered. As she left the pet registration center, ready to call Zayne, Cotton Candy suddenly appeared from around a corner, eluding the security guards whod been searching for her.

"Cotton Candy!" Nyx was overjoyed.

The kitten seemed contrite, crouching at Nyx's feet with an almost apologetic posture. Its paws looked awkward and unsure as it peered up at her, meowing softly, full of remorse.

Nyx didn't blit.

"Okay, okay," she said, picking up the kitten and gently patting its back. "I get it. You're scared of check-ups.too. We'll skip it for now-" To comfort the kitten, Nyx even bought it streats.

The small fish jerky, priced at 3 StarCoins per piece, was not despised by Aurelius, who ate it with surprising delight.

Though it was human food, the fish jerky had a low salt content, so it was harmless for cats to eat a little. Having comforted the kitten, Nyx looked down at her Intelligent Brain.

08:28 Wed, Feb 12 Chapter 37 She had been so anxious earlier when she couldn't find the cat that she almost contacted Zayne for help.

78% 11 Though she hadn't had the chance to ask for help, the chat window was already open, so she decided to send him a message.

Nyx: [I want to visit the Imperial Military Academy to see you. Are you available?] It was boring at hanyway, so she might as well visit Zayne, especially since it was his first day of work. Zayne was chatting with several senior professors in his office.

These professors were leading scholars in the field of imperial medicine, and they were once his teachers. They all admired him greatly. When he chose to leave Central Plto serve as a military doctor, one of the professors, Chris Lee, was so upset that he fainted.

Chris stood there, stern and unapproachable, his puffed cheeks and hard glare making it clear he held no warmth for Zayne.

It wasn't that big a deal. In his opinion, Zayne should've just given in and married that female-everyone would've been happy.

And even if Zayne really didn't like this Astraea, if he absolutely couldn't stomach it, they old guys would've made sure he was alright.

The status of females was high, but that didn't mean they could do whatever they wanted.

The problem could have been solved, but Zayne had just walked away without saying a word.

Chris snorted coldly, "What, suddenly want to go back to Central Planet? Finally cto your senses? Ready to accept that female?" At these words, another professor couldn't help but chuckle, “You've got it wrong, Professor Lee. Zayne has found true love. He applied to transfer back to Central Plfor true love." The professors, who had watched the Jade Garden video, all chuckled mischievously.

A slight upturn of Zayne's lips served as his only response, a tacit agreement.

Chris, who was clueless about what went down at Jade Garden, looked at Zayne like he'd grown two heads. "True love? Dude I thought you said you were married to your research and were going to be single forever." This was something Zayne had said to dismiss him when Chris advised him to give up and accept Astraea. Chris had always thought Zayne was truly an advocate for celibacy, not realizing he had been deceived. "What's so special about your true love compared to that young female? Higher mental power?" Chris shook his head, "No, that female surnamed Lynn had A-level mental power; it couldn't be higher." All the elderly professors in the room perked up their ears. Though they were serious researchers, they couldn't help being curious about the romantic affairs of young people.

Zayne chuckled lightly and shook his head, not wanting to make Nyx a topic of gossip, but a trace of tenderness was unmistakably visible in his usually frosty gaze.

Just then, Nyx's message pinged through.

Earlier, in order to showcase his research data, Zayne had projected his Intelligent Brain as a light screen, visible to 08:28 Wed, Feb 12 Chapter 37 everyone.

O The whole room went silent as everyone saw Nyx's message.

So, she cvisit Zayne even on his first day of work.

"Well-your female is quite attached to you," Chris adjusted his glasses, marveling.

Zayne's heart was filled with indescribable happiness, and he replied to Nyx: [I'll cpick you up.] Nyx: [No need to pickup. I'm already on my way!] She then sent a photo showing where she was.

The large screen showed a recent selfie of Nyx holding a kitten on what looked like a public plane. Despite the simple setting, she looked radiant, her eyes and smile brimming with youthful energy. The professors were instantly struck in the heart. 'Isn't this the daughter we have always dreamed of?' 78% Zayne blushed and coughed lightly, reminding Nyx to be safe, then stood up to head to the school entrance to pick her up.

Several professors also stood up, especially Chris, who was leading the charge and even intended to join him in picking up Nyx.

Zayne went speechless.

He helplessly rubbed his forehead, trying to dissuade them from this absurd idea.

Meanwhile, Nyx had already arrived.

The public aircraft she was on didn't land at the main gate of the school but at the south gate.

The military academy theoretically didn't allow outsiders to enter freely, but females were an exception.

A simple iris scan granted Nyx entry.

Following the Intelligent Brain's navigation system, set for the m medical school, she proceeded smoothly. Even without Zayne's exact location, she was confident she was headed in the right general direction. The navigation suggested a route that took her through a training field.

Nyx had expected an open area, but vei as she got closer, she saw a large crowd, suggesting skind of event. All she could see were tall, muscular young men in military academy uniforms, radiating a strong scent of hormones. Uninterested in the spectacle, Nyx began to skirt the edge of the crowd when her gaze fell upon a familiar figure standing on the stage in the middle of the field.

It was the Black Mamba, Kian-or at least, she thought that was his name.

'So, he is also a military student here?' Nyx thought.
