I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 101 Stalemate

Simon was dead.

He died in a bathtub, and everyone initially thought he had drowned.

But when his body was dragged out, they found it covered in burn marks, a plastic bag was fitted over his head, his tongue had been pulled out, and his body seemed to have been dissected, with his organs all thrown into the bathtub—it was a gruesome death. Clearly, whoever had done this had tortured Simon in some way before killing him.

When Ah Jin arrived and saw the scene, he vomited against the door. Simon's family was both angry and grief-stricken. It had taken the Skunks years to raise a child with the Illusion Technique; they had invested so much effort, and now Simon's father was crying out for the school to take responsibility, declaring that he would take the case straight to the Federation's supreme court.

"We said we would accept the school's punishment, but it's clear that student named Qiao did this. His family took vengeance into their own hands and killed our child. Bring that student out! I demand his life in return for my son's!"

"Yes, hand over that student!"

"So what if the Auslan Royal Family is powerful? I'll take this to the Federation and see if they ignore it!"

When Anubis and Li Yi found Dr. Li, more than a dozen members of Simon's family had already arrived, blocking Dr. Li's door and refusing to leave, demanding justice.

Dr. Li, having no choice, folded his arms behind his back and sneered at the crowd, "Go ahead and sue. All you'll be doing is sentencing your entire family to ruin."

"What did you say?" The members of the Simon family were livid with rage.

"I said you're unlucky. Simon misused his Talent out of a desire to win, but his mastery over the Illusion Technique was far from perfect. Do you have any idea how high the fatality rate of the Illusion Technique is? If she hadn't reacted quickly, the physical damage from the illusion would have resulted in irreversible consequences."

"So what? It's my child who's dead, not his!"

"That's right. Is it wrong for us to seek justice?"

Simon's father stepped forward and said, "How about this: hand over that student, and we will not trouble the school authorities any further."

Before Dr. Li could speak, Li Yi, unable to contain himself, shouted from the crowd, "On what grounds!"

He shoved a few people aside, rushed up to Dr. Li, and yelled at the crowd, "What did Qiao do wrong? It was Simon who trapped him in the library and then tried to burn him with lava! I went to the library to see for myself; the soil on the ground doesn't lie. Even though the illusion has been lifted, that patch of ground is now unusable for a hundred years. The damage caused by the illusion is real and physical, and it even blocked off the whole space. Qiao couldn't even call for help from outside. Simon wanted to bully Qiao, but it just turned out he was outplayed. And what evidence do you have that Qiao had Simon killed? What does he have to do with this? You're spouting nonsense and accusations!"

Anubis also looked around coldly at the crowd, and after catching Dr. Li's warning glance, slowly bowed his head.

Dr. Li said, "I understand your feelings. The school will arrange Simon's funeral and will pay a certain compensation. Please disperse. Trust me when I say that pursuing this further will be to your entire family's disadvantage."

The Simons weren't listening and felt Dr. Li was just trying to smooth things over, so they angrily departed. Before leaving, Simon's father bitterly spat out a sentence, "I will make sure that student named Qiao pays the price!"

Ah Jin dismissed the crowd and closed the door for Dr. Li. Now only Anubis and the others remained in the dean's office.

Dr. Li sighed, "What is it that you two want now?"

Anubis asked, "Where is Qiao?"

Dr. Li gave him a glance, deep in thought, as Li Yi, always impatient, pressed urgently when there was no immediate answer, "Dean, please tell us. We were worried all night and couldn't sleep."

"She's safe for now, but she won't be coming to school for a short period."

Anubis asked again, "Is he injured?"

The usually amiable Dr. Li hardened his expression and said, "That's not for you to worry about."

Anubis understood the gravity behind his words and his gaze grew dim. Li Yi muttered from the side, "We're classmates; what's wrong with showing concern?"

"Enough, Li Yi, go back first. I need to speak to Anubis alone," Dr. Li dismissed him.

"Oh," Li Yi ambled away, and before leaving, he winked at Anubis, signaling him to fend for himself.

After the man had left, Dr. Li rose from the solid wood chair and walked over to pat the young man's shoulder.

"Anubis, as I was entrusted by your father, I will definitely take good care of you. You also know the responsibility you carry on your shoulders. Let me remind you, do not be distracted by other matters or people."

Anubis looked down, responding lightly, "I won't."

Dr. Li felt somewhat reassured and asked, "How's your training going now?"

"I can control it now; I won't go into a frenzy as frequently as before," he said.

Dr. Li was very gratified, "Good, as long as your mind is stable, there is hope of overcoming the rage in your genes. Anubis, you are the last hope of the Wolf Clan."

Anubis stood quietly, returning to his usual somber demeanor. Perhaps it was the fulfilling and happy times recently that gave him the illusion that this was his life.

In fact, nothing had changed.

The sudden departure of Qiao Suisui pulled him out of this contentment and happiness.

He was still Anubis Connor who must constantly remember his mission, not the simple school life with friends by his side as Anubis.

-

Auslan, Imperial Court.

Qiao Suisui was set up in a brand-new palace, which Leberli had prepared for her long in advance, all arranged to the highest standards of the Royal Family.

A servant pushed over a cart in which six little deer were curled up and snuggling together; it was their nap time.

Qiao Suisui stroked the adorable fawns and sighed, feeling a sense of things having changed upon her return here.

The first time she came, she wanted nothing more than to leave this world quickly, but now she had numerous ties she couldn't cut.

"Why are you daydreaming?"

Leberli's voice came from behind her, and Qiao Suisui looked back to find the man had already walked over and embraced her from behind.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Wondering how you're getting on with the negotiations with the Federation," she said.

Leberli paused for a moment, then said, "I won't let anyone take you away from me."

Qiao Suisui asked, "They want me to return to Soter, right?"

Leberli tucked her stray hair behind her ear, gently stroking her face. "I've ceded a quarter of Auslan's territory to Soter. They said they would consider the proposal to let you stay here."

"Ash..." Qiao Suisui grasped his sleeve and said, "I disagree. You have just become the new Sun, and with the already tense relationship between Auslan and Soter, if you give the land to Soter, what will the citizens of the Empire think of you? And how will you win over the people in the future?"

Just as she tried to convince him, a guard came in panic to report, "Sun, people from Soter are here; they request to see Miss Qiao."

Leberli furrowed his brows, "Who?"

"He says his name is Zong Fang."
