Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Wu Zhan laughed and reached out to rub his daughter's head.

"You must be exhausted. It's already quite a feat to have kept going like this," he paused, glancing at Ning Yi beside him. "This kid is just waiting to give you a proper rest. Go with him."

Jiang Zhixia: "?"

She looked at her father, then at Ning Yi, not quite understanding.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yi immediately bowed to Wu Zhan, completely abandoning her usual frivolous and alluring demeanor, and smiled warmly and politely: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will ensure the princess gets a good rest."

After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Zhixia and left without looking back.

"No, wait—"

She turned around and looked at Lu Jue with a blank expression.

Lu Jue instinctively lifted his foot to follow, but Wu Zhan raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Lu Jue was forced to stand still, dumbfounded.

He hesitated for a moment, then managed to stammer, "Your Majesty, what is it? I'll take the princess there first..."

Wu Zhan clicked his tongue. "Just wait, I told you to."

Lu Jue: "..."

He could only watch helplessly as his mistress was taken away by that fox spirit.

……

Behind the base, there was an area that had been temporarily cleared and fenced off.

Jiang Zhixia stood at the entrance, staring blankly at the scene before her.

The place was shrouded in mist.

A rising mist wafts towards you, and in the misty steam, a hot spring pool built with special minerals is steaming.

The hot spring pool wasn't very large, enough to accommodate seven or eight people, but in the dusty front-line base, it looked like a mirage.

She vaguely thought she had returned to the palace.

Jiang Zhixia turned her head and looked at Ning Yi.

"Ning Yi...when did you do this?"

Ning Yi had already taken off his outer clothes, his upper body bare, his long, muscular lines faintly visible in the steam, and a towel loosely tied around his lower body.

"Princess, just enjoy yourself."

Without his parents around, he stopped putting on airs and looked exactly like a fox spirit, very alluring.

"Princess, would you like to come in and give it a try?"

"No, where did this thing come from?"

Ning Yi shrugged casually: "There were a few batches of special ores in the previous supplies that can be used to build a thermal energy pool with a stable magnetic field. I noticed that and sent an extra portion."

Jiang Zhixia: "...Did Father agree to you doing this?"

"Yes, the resources were provided by myself, and His Majesty approved them."

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

They underestimated Ning Yi's abilities.

This has nothing to do with money. It's not easy to get my father to agree to provide such luxurious things at the front-line base!

After a while.

Jiang Zhixia sat in the hot spring pool, and her whole body almost melted.

The warm water enveloped me, and every inch of my tired bones cheered.

She couldn't help but let out a pathetic sigh.

Ning Yi placed his hand on her shoulder, kneading it with just the right amount of force, his fingertips carrying a warm touch as he moved down her neck and shoulders.

Jiang Zhixia subconsciously covered her chest with the bath towel.

Well, since they're not officially married yet, she was too embarrassed to be too open with him.

Ning Yi didn't mind and continued pressing, but when he saw her bright red ears, his smile deepened.

"Princess, are you comfortable?"

"Mmm...that feels good."

It feels so good.

Who would believe that she could soak in an artificial hot spring in the middle of nowhere?

Moreover, this pool is entirely constructed from special minerals, making it movable, disassembled, and reassembled.

Even some noble families might not be so extravagant as to build a portable hot spring for their own family members!

She turned her head and looked at Ning Yi.

That already stunning face, steamed by the water vapor, became even more alluring, as if it had stepped out of a painting.

Jiang Zhixia glanced at it once and then decisively turned her gaze back.

It looks so tempting.

"Did you say something to your father?"

Ning Yi's fingers paused. "Why does the princess ask such a question?"

"Otherwise, why would Father have let you take me away?"

Lu Jue and Jiang Ting were both there at the time.

As the matriarch, she always tried her best to treat everyone equally, and she did a pretty good job at it.

Her father knew what she was thinking and never showed favoritism towards one side in front of the other.

This action today is highly unusual.

With both of her legal husbands present, her father actually tried to force her into marriage with Ning Yi, who was not yet legally married.

Ning Yi chuckled softly.

He leaned down and gently rubbed his chin against her shoulder.

Jiang Zhixia shrank back, tickled, and heard a lazy yet cheerful voice in her ear that made her ears tingle.

"Princess~ I think the Queen and His Majesty will definitely like me, and I should be able to return to the palace as your official husband."

She was even more confused.

"Wait, isn't this my job?"

If she wants someone to be her legal husband, it should be up to her, the mistress of the house, to fight for it and talk to her mother and father.

What did Ning Yi do?

She turned her head back to look into Ning Yi's eyes.

Ning Yi smiled and gently turned her face back, continuing to massage her shoulders.

Seemingly having thought of something, he became even happier, his smile impossible to hide.

"Princess, please rest well. Don't worry about anything else."

……

Meanwhile, in the small conference room next to the command center.

Lu Jue stood in front of Wu Zhan, his expression quite confused.

He scratched his head. "Your Majesty means to make Ning Yi the princess's beastly husband?"

Wu Zhan leaned back in his chair and nodded.

"Yes, I specifically kept you here so you could observe carefully how sincere that kid really is towards Xiaxia."

He paused, then added, "Oh right, you don't need to be jealous. Even if Ning Yi isn't around, Xia Xia will have other males. The Queen wants you to observe them; Jiang Ting isn't as perceptive in this regard as you are."

Whenever Jiang Ting was mentioned, Wu Zhan would sigh with worry.

How come the child I raised is so decisive and efficient in other aspects, but so restrained when it comes to emotions?

Lu Jue and Su Chen owe their current positions to Jiang Ting's contributions.

That Ning Yi... is different.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jue quickly waved his hand. "Your Majesty, no, I didn't mean to be jealous. I meant..." He paused, looking intently at Wu Zhan, "...a concubine?"

Wu Zhan paused for a moment while drinking his tea.

"Yes, my concubine."

This conclusion was reached after careful consideration by the female queens, and it was also the first time that they, as mother and father, had refuted their daughter.

Lu Jue was even more confused.

This is not quite what he knew about the princess.

He knew from the moment Su Chen appeared that the beast husbands by the princess's side would likely all be legitimate husbands.

The princess always respected males and would never treat other beastmen as inferior just because she liked someone.

Jiang Ting is the legal husband, he is the legal husband, and Su Chen is also the legal husband.

How did Ning Yi end up as a concubine?
