I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 59: Goodwill
"Is that person her spouse? Brother Yan, how do you compare in strength to him?" Gai Meilun asked.
Sang Yan didn’t answer. He stared in the direction of the second floor and slowly turned to walk to his room. "Everyone, go back to rest."
The second floor.
Leberli didn’t wait for her to take two steps before he scooped her up directly into the bedroom.
"I let you play on the first floor, not to go around taking care of people. Aren’t you tired?"
"The guests need to be entertained," Qiao Suisui said as she was set down on the soft bed, with two pillows supporting her lower back. She gently lowered the hand that had been around his neck, but Leberli caught her wrist.
"Why did you personally do this? I will send someone from the Imperial Court tomorrow."
Qiao Suisui thought about how, after she left, only 6867, who might or might not be busy, would come over, so she didn’t argue with him.
"How does your body feel?"
Leberli sat beside her on the bed’s edge, playing with her hand in his own palm.
"You just gave birth not long ago; don’t lift heavy things."
She had forgotten about that, because she always recovered quickly and well, so she didn’t have any knowledge in that regard. It was Leberli and Ruka who seemed to think of everything before she did. Speaking of heavy things, she remembered the case of canned food and Nutrient Liquid that Ah Yao had sent.
"Where are the items?"
Leberli carried them over for her to look at, peaked inside himself, and muttered, "They’re not anything special."

With one glance, he knew these canned goods and Nutrient Liquid were the same brand as those from his own Imperial Court, considered top-notch. But what did he usually give Qiao Suisui to eat? Specially cultivated fresh organic vegetables, picked fresh daily. Meat was all boneless cuts, and they used only the tenderest parts. Knowing she didn’t eat raw food, he specifically found beastmen chefs with excellent cooking skills to take turns preparing a variety of dishes for her.
Beyond that, he had studied all the information related to human habits, and spared no expense to buy cookbooks. Since not many cookbooks from the Ancient Humans had survived to the present, the price of one could directly purchase two Flying Ships in Star Coins.
Qiao Suisui was completely unaware of all this, and Leberli had never deliberately mentioned it.
He had fought bloody battles to reach his position today, and even if the outside world criticized him harshly, saying he usurped the throne and seized power, he didn’t care at all. What he wanted was the ability to create the best of everything for her; he wanted her to live the best life possible.
"These are gifts of thoughtfulness. Take them to the Imperial Court when you leave."
Although she didn’t eat these, she couldn’t waste someone else’s good intentions.
Leberli’s ’hmm’ was gentle; he would let her be happy over such trivial matters. After coaxing her to sleep for a while, he quietly got up to work. Fearing he would disturb her, he took the Light Computer and went to the table in the first-floor dining room.
At that time, Sang Yan was cooking in the kitchen. Something bubbled in the pot, emitting an indescribable delicate fragrance.
Leberli glanced at him, didn’t greet, and just sat down. With Suisui not there, he didn’t bother to pretend.
Sang Yan also noticed that he had sat down behind him. At this moment, he felt a calm gaze locking onto him and surveying him up and down, but he simply continued with what he was doing, as if nothing mattered.
"Purpose?" Leberli spoke, with just two words declaring his impatience.
Sang Yan looked back, his face devoid of expression. "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Leberli let out a cold laugh, already extremely annoyed. "Are you going to keep your eyes on her once I’m dead?"
Sang Yan methodically poured the soup from the pot into a delicate porcelain bowl and said, "The eyes of us beastmen from the Freedom Alliance don’t seem to be under Auslan’s jurisdiction, do they?"
Leberli raised an eyebrow, never expecting that the man would recognize him and directly clarify their identities.
"What are you here for?"
"Pathfinding."
Deceiving ghosts? Where in Auslan were there any wilds to pioneer?
Leberli crossed his arms in front of his chest, suddenly feeling a hint of threat from this imperturbable man.
Sang Yan brought the prepared soup over to Leberli, wiping his hands with the apron tied around his waist. "This is a soup boiled with Moonlight Flower. It helps with bodily recovery." For whom it was intended was left unsaid.
Moonlight Flowers only grew in the Freedom Alliance, and they were found specifically beside the palace of the Beast God, the site of their faith. They believed that Moonlight Flowers, having been blessed with the protection and thoughts of the Beast God, could cure all ailments, energize the body, and aid in recovering strength.
Sang Yan guessed that Qiao Suisui must have just given birth not long ago and needed good nourishment, so he took out the precious Moonlight Flowers, which he hadn’t even used when Gai Meilun was injured, to make a sweet soup for her.
Leberli couldn’t help but laugh in irritation, squinting as he squeezed a word through his teeth, "Fine," and then, holding the porcelain bowl, he went upstairs.
He stopped in front of the master bedroom’s door, then made a turn into the second-floor bathroom. When he came out again, the porcelain bowl was empty.
The next day, Ruka didn’t return, and afraid of unforeseen complications, Leberli decided to take Qiao Suisui back to the Imperial Court directly.
While Leberli was away arranging security and the Flying Ship, Qiao Suisui knocked on Sang Yan’s door.
"May I ask you a favor?"
Sang Yan looked at the somewhat anxious person standing at the door, nodded, and stepped aside to gesture her in to talk. But Qiao Suisui politely declined.
He didn’t force her, instead inwardly chiding himself for overstepping.
"What is it?"
"I’d like you to help me find someone. Here is his information." Qiao Suisui took out her Light Computer and transferred Lanze’s data to Sang Yan. She knew that the Pathfinders Team would go everywhere, making them ideal for finding Lanze’s whereabouts.
Sang Yan hit accept but didn’t look at it, focusing instead on the girl in front of him, asking, "When will you... return?" He had heard Leberli’s voice, hearing that they were leaving.
"It’s uncertain, but rest assured, if there’s ever a need, you can tell 6867. There will also be someone assigned to take care of this place afterward."
Sang Yan responded, hiding the disappointment in his eyes. But he quickly adjusted his mood and said gently, "I will do my best to find him."
Qiao Suisui smiled and transferred 5000 Star Coins to him. "I’m not sure how much such a task should cost, so take this for now. I’ll cover any subsequent expenses that arise. If it’s not enough, I can also give you more..."
Before she could finish, Sang Yan frowned and refused the transfer.
"Helping a friend doesn’t require money."
Qiao Suisui blinked in confusion, looking at him.
Sang Yan said, "You saved Gai Meilun, and Ah Yao already considers you his friend. I... I do too. The Freedom Alliance doesn’t count the cost when it comes to friends. I will make sure this gets done, so don’t worry."
She looked up at the man standing in front of her. His eyes were a rare shade of black among males, deep like ink. His short black hair was neat and clean-cut. Though not as tall as Ah Yao, he was about as tall as Ruka, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and beautifully defined muscular lines visible even when his arms hung naturally, the veins slightly pronounced. Sang Yan, simply standing there, exuded an aura of masculine power and allure.
But these were not the reasons Qiao Suisui felt an affinity toward him.
She looked into Sang Yan’s eyes. Despite their few encounters, his gaze was more often sincere, forthright, and calm than it was filled with the lust and desire that other Beastmen typically showed toward her.
