Sweet and Blessed: Five Husbands Kiss Her Waist

That afternoon, Cecil came to No.2 Institute, looking for Lu Xia to inject him with the gene fusion agent.

When she saw him, Lu Xia knew he had come specifically for this. Without saying much, she just had Cecil go to the examination room for a full-body check-up while she prepared for the injection.

Prior to this, Lu Xia had learned that the Imperial Family’s Beastification Gene type was the Golden Lion Gene.

’So, if Cecil successfully becomes a Gene Fusion Expert, his Beastification Form should be a majestic lion, a different form from Graces and Smelian—a truly fluffy one.’

She was actually quite looking forward to it; after all, felines were all adorable.

Cecil went to the examination room, where the staff were already very familiar with the procedure. They first drew his blood for testing, then performed a full-body scan to confirm he met all the conditions for receiving the gene fusion agent before allowing him into the observation room.

Lu Xia was already waiting there with the gene fusion agent. Seeing him enter, she said reassuringly, "Don’t be nervous, Cecil. You might feel some discomfort after the injection, but I believe you can endure it to the end. I’ll be watching you the whole time, right there."

As she spoke, she pointed to the glass in front of them.

The glass wasn’t transparent, but everything in the room could be seen from the other side. Cecil knew that after the injection was complete, Lu Xia would be observing him from the other side.

Cecil nodded and leaned in slightly. "Sister Lu Xia, if I become a Gene Fusion Expert, would you be willing to go on a date with me?"

Lu Xia raised an eyebrow. "Let’s talk about that after you become a Gene Fusion Expert."

She finished speaking and patted Cecil’s shoulder lightly. "Since you’re ready, let’s begin."

Cecil took off his jacket, sat down, and presented his forearm to Lu Xia.

Watching the liquid from the syringe gradually enter his body, Cecil said to Lu Xia, "Will you be watching me the whole time, Sister?"

Lu Xia looked him in the eye and nodded with a smile. "I’ll be watching you the whole time. Don’t worry, I’ll be right next door."

She waved and turned to leave.

By the time she reached the other side, the gene fusion agent was already taking effect inside Cecil’s body.

His body was gradually heating up, and there was a strange, unsettling feeling that something was about to burst out from within him. But Cecil kept his clear blue eyes fixed on the glass before him. Even though he couldn’t see Lu Xia’s figure standing on the other side, he stubbornly refused to look away, as if doing so would grant him infinite confidence and motivation.

As time passed, the heat in his body turned to pain, as if his very bones were being shattered and reforged.

Then came the itching, as if countless insects were gnawing at him from all over.

Under Lu Xia’s gaze, clear changes were happening to Cecil’s body. His face kept shifting back and forth between his beast and human forms.

A pair of fluffy ears even appeared on his head.

Golden fur sprouted on his arms.

At first, this Beastification Form wasn’t stable, but as time went on, Cecil’s form gradually stabilized. In the end, the Cecil who appeared before Lu Xia had an extra pair of ears and a long tail.

This form made him look rather cute.

Lu Xia’s lips curved into a slight smile. She said to the staff member beside her, "Print out his test report and bring it to me in a bit. I’m going over now."

After she left, she poured a glass of Spiritual Spring Water for Cecil as usual and returned to the observation room.

When Cecil saw Lu Xia, a hint of self-consciousness flickered in his eyes. ’My current form probably isn’t very attractive. I wonder if Lu Xia will hate the way I look now.’

However, before he could speak, Lu Xia handed him the glass in her hand. "Have some water, Cecil."

Cecil reached out to take it. "Sister..."

His voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, but before he could finish, Lu Xia interrupted him. "Don’t rush to speak. Drink some water first."

Cecil had no choice but to drink the Spiritual Spring Water in the glass.

Lu Xia looked at him with a smile in her eyes. "Congratulations, Cecil. You’ve successfully become a Gene Fusion Expert. Once your condition stabilizes, you can work on increasing your gene fusion degree."

After drinking the Spiritual Spring Water, Cecil felt the scorching heat in his body subside. He was slightly taken aback by Lu Xia’s words, then a smile spread across his face. "Thank you, Sister. I couldn’t have become a Gene Fusion Expert so smoothly without your help."

Lu Xia smiled at him. "There’s a bathroom over there. You can take a shower and change. I’ve already notified the butler. We’ll celebrate for you tonight."

Hearing this, Cecil’s eyes lit up. Lu Xia’s gesture had clearly delighted him.

After Lu Xia left, Cecil went to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Lu Xia took Cecil’s report from a staff member, glanced at it, and after confirming there were no issues, she told the staff member, "Erase all of his information."

The staff member was already used to this. They nodded without asking any questions and turned to do as they were told.

When Cecil came out of the bathroom, he saw the clothes Lu Xia had prepared for him in advance. They were a perfect fit. It was clear Lu Xia had prepared all of this before he had even arrived.

The thought filled his heart with an immense sense of warmth and contentment.

’Now I can finally understand the disdainful look Smelian gave us back then.’

’The more content and happy I am now, the more it proves how foolish I was back then.’

’I actually judged Lu Xia based on my own shallow understanding. It was completely biased.’

’Because only those who have experienced Lu Xia’s kindness can know just how extraordinary she is.’

’To be fortunate enough to become her partner, even with just the status of a husband—for me, right now, that would be a sweet delight.’

’Now I finally understand what Smelian meant when he said he didn’t care if he was a main husband, secondary husband, or just a husband. As long as he could stay by Lu Xia’s side, it was enough.’

’That’s how I feel now, too.’

The most obvious sensation of becoming a Gene Fusion Expert was a feeling of power filling his body. It made him feel strong.

’So this is what it feels like to be a Gene Fusion Expert.’ Cecil thought it was a great feeling.

Lu Xia noticed him come out and asked with a smile, "Is your body okay? Are you feeling anything else?"

Cecil smiled back. "I’ve never felt better."

Lu Xia nodded. Just as she was about to say something, a staff member from the adjacent lab said with a smile, "Duke, could you come here for a moment?"

Lu Xia gave Cecil a look that said, "wait a moment," then turned and entered the adjacent lab.

As soon as she entered, a staff member handed her a sealed box. Lu Xia knew very well that inside was the gene extraction liquid successfully derived from the Ice Spirit Gene.

After this period of unremitting effort, they had finally succeeded in developing it. As long as Smelian was injected with it, he could gain a superpower, just like Graces.

’Good things really do come in pairs today.’
