I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 57: Change

Ten minutes ago.

Angsi woke up in the Military Department’s water dungeon, his first order of business was to seal off the Military, and then he reported to Ruka.

"Colonel, I’m sorry, I was too careless. He said he would tell me the whereabouts of my cub, and that if we didn’t go find him, the cub would starve to death. I thought he couldn’t use his spiritual power with the electronic shackles on, so I fell for his trick. When I woke up, he had already run away."

Ruka knew that Angsi was not normally so careless and negligent; he had fallen into Zong Fang’s trap because Zong Fang was willing to divulge the whereabouts of the cub. After all, he had interrogated him three times to no avail, and Angsi had been acting in his interest.

He gave Angsi some precautionary advice, intending to return to the Military immediately, but he stopped as he walked out the door.

Zong Fang was sly and sharp-witted, and also very paranoid. If he really had escaped, Ruka thought he would definitely find Qiao Suisui again. So he quickly turned back to the small building and informed Leberli to come over as quickly as possible. At least that way, someone could be by her side, not giving Zong Fang the chance to make a move.

Ruka decided to wait for Leberli to arrive before going back to the Military to investigate.

Qiao Suisui listened to his brief explanation, and her previously good mood vanished instantly.

"Suisui..." Ruka hesitated, his eyes filled with concern and remorse as he looked at her. "Before I catch Zong Fang, would you consider staying at the Imperial Court?"

Qiao Suisui was startled and immediately guessed that Leberli must have reached some sort of agreement with Ruka, but after careful thought, she also understood. Even if the Military’s people were stationed here, they were no match for an SSS rank male, and Zong Fang was known for his unconventional tactics. Ruka couldn’t always guard her, and needless to say about Leberli; the new government had just been established, and he needed to make decisions on many fronts. At this time, having her return to the Imperial Court was indeed the best choice.

She pondered with her eyes cast down, and seeing this, Ruka stepped forward to embrace her.

"I know you don’t like being restricted, and I promise you, I will catch Zong Fang and find our cub, so you won’t be threatened by Zong Fang anymore."

"Even if it’s not Zong Fang, there will be others," Qiao Suisui muttered, her voice muffled as she buried her face in his chest. "I can go to the Imperial Court, but I need some time."

"Really?"

Ruka, seeing that she was not averse to the idea, heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiao Suisui nodded.

As a modern woman, her education had taught her that it was sad if her worth could only be measured by her ability to bear children. But she needed to survive. She didn’t want to be trapped in one place, even if that place was called protection. So after arriving in this world, even though she was initially unwilling to bear a child, she still actively adapted and made changes, because she believed everything was creatable. To her, the meaning of bearing a child was to grow stronger and nothing more. That was why she had not even given names to these cubs, because she didn’t want to endow them with more significance.

Her inn business had just started going well and she had been happy to finally have a way to earn a living. With her Talent and spiritual power, she was not vulnerable to lower-ranked Beastmen, but Zong Fang’s escape was like a bucket of cold water, waking her up.

She was not strong enough.

Because she was not strong enough, she was at the mercy of others, without choice.

Ruka was comforting her in a soft voice, unaware of the resolute and calm light flickering in Qiao Suisui’s eyes.

Leberli arrived with a team of Royal Guards, and outside the inconspicuous two-story building, there were not only Military personnel but also Royal Guards, making it seem like it was unintentionally flaunting a treasure, as if to tell people: come and look, there’s something valuable here.

But Leberli and Ruka couldn’t care so much anymore because her safety was of the utmost importance.

"I’m thinking of leaving after this batch of tenants has settled in," she said.

Leberli tried to persuade her to leave now, but Ruka stopped him.

"Alright, as soon as you’re ready, we can leave anytime."

Ruka understood her, which is why he wanted to give her as much freedom as possible. Leberli frowned, feeling that this was an unnecessary complication, but he could not bring himself to voice his thoughts upon seeing Qiao Suisui’s smile. He sighed to himself, thinking: Just this once, as long as she’s happy.

Ruka flew the flying ship back to the Military Department, and Leberli had a meeting he had to attend. Before going upstairs, he pinched her cheek and said he would come to keep her company later. Qiao Suisui stayed in the first-floor living room, taking the opportunity to bring out the robot butler rewarded by the system from the storage space.

A round, bulky, white robot appeared before her eyes. It didn’t have a human body, resembling more of a barrel. The head featured a full circle of black electronic screen, with its eyes formed by pixel graphics. In standby mode, they were two vertical lines that bent into curves when it was happy. Its lower half was a cabinet that could be opened, seemingly spacious enough to hold a large jug of water.

"Master, I am model number 6867, what are your instructions? (╹◡╹)"

Qiao Suisui found it intriguing and asked, "What can you do?"

"I can carry items, clean up, provide conversation services, and directly connect with your light computer. You can see everything I see through my camera. (•̀_•́）"

"6867, can you help me house-sit?"

"Of course, I have an electroshock mode. In case of an unauthorized intruder, I will issue an alert and attack immediately, although my attack power is low. (ง•̀_•́)ง"

That was enough. Qiao Suisui patted 6867 on the head, satisfied, "Thank you, I will be gone for a while, so I’m entrusting you with house-sitting. If the guests need anything, try your best to accommodate them."

"Leave it to me (ง•̀_•́)ง"

6867 swiftly entered work mode, not only efficiently cleaning each room but also preparing nutrient liquid for the two doctors.

Qiao Suisui thought the reward was a godsend. Next, she started examining the bamboo house and Heavenly Bridge system rewards and found that they could be used together. Placing the bamboo house next to the second floor of the small building and then using the Heavenly Bridge to connect the small building with the bamboo house, it would directly open up and complete the expansion.

Now her inn could only rent out four rooms, but with the bamboo house, eight more rooms could be rented out.

She excitedly looked out the window, scouting the location. To set the bamboo house down from the storage space, she needed to clear the weeds and vegetation around the small building.

She could suddenly pull out a robot which might be explained away as a purchase from the Star Network. Even though Auslan didn’t have the custom of using robots, Federation Headquarters had already established robot factories as assembly lines, so that could be reasonably disguised. But to whip out a whole building out of nowhere, that would surely raise suspicions...

As Qiao Suisui was busily mulling this over, the doorbell suddenly rang.

6867 had already astutely pressed the visual doorbell to ask who it was, showing a good sense of security.

When Qiao Suisui approached, she heard a somewhat familiar voice through the visual doorbell.

"Hello, we’ve booked a room here."
