I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 66: Talk More If You Can Speak
Carl had already spent 12 seconds just making a cool entrance.
He didn’t tell those men that, given his severely wounded state, he could only perform one Breakthrough, and if he wanted to take her out, he had to wait for his Talent to cool down. Always be wary; how his Talent worked and what its limitations were—he’d always been showing a mix of truthful and deceitful demonstrations, sometimes even he started forgetting after so many lies. His job nature dictated that he couldn’t afford to reveal his weaknesses and true intentions easily.
Besides, even if he were in good condition, he didn’t want to take the young boss out.
Going out meant three males surrounding her, only one inside—did he look stupid?
This was a good opportunity for him to observe Qiao Suisui closely.
It was just a Female, only having a uterus more than other Artificial Females, a bunch of guys who couldn’t control their lower bodies, each bewitched beyond reason. He wanted to see what was so special about this little thing.
But a casual look turned out to be costly.
For some reason, Carl felt a surge of irritability, and with a mocking smile, he asked, "So, I’m not an outsider, am I?"
Leaning lazily against the door frame, he snorted at Zong Fang and said, "Put on some clothes, you shameless flirt."
Zong Fang gave a laugh of extreme anger, not expecting someone so unafraid of death to dare provoke him in his own space. His Silver Eyes suddenly turned to slits, and the scales around his eyes seemed to flicker in and out of visibility—Qiao Suisui knew this was a prelude to a massacre.
She quickly grabbed Zong Fang’s arm, signaling him not to do it.
Zong Fang squinted at her, and his tone was unfriendly, "What’s your relationship with him?"
Carl also noticed her actions, thinking Qiao Suisui was pleading for him out of fear of getting no mercy from Zong Fang, which suddenly dissipated his previous irritability.
Qiao Suisui shook her head, "No relationship at all, I just wanted to say if you fight here with him, your spiritual power is too strong, and I won’t be able to handle it."
Carl: ?
Zong Fang: .
The man patted her head, seeing that she genuinely didn’t care about Carl, which clearly improved his mood, then whispered in her ear, "Be good, stay here and don’t wander off, I’ll come back and continue with you later."
Zong Fang stood up, positioned himself in front of Qiao Suisui blocking Carl’s line of sight. He stepped forward toward him, but saw Carl make a gesture first.
"Wait a minute, I’m not here to fight. The people outside sent me in to take her away."
Zong Fang scoffed, "Just you?"
Carl shrugged, smiling rascally.

"Me, an SS, and in a wounded state, of course, can’t beat you," he said. Walking in, he settled himself on the couch, hands behind his head, stretching comfortably as if he were at his own home. "So I didn’t plan on taking her anyway. It’s just that people outside forced me to come in, and I had no choice, so how about you let me stay here to rest? Just let me know when it’s okay to leave."
Zong Fang frowned; he almost questioned whether his own murderous aura had lessened, allowing this man to be so shameless.
"Forget it, don’t bother with it anymore," Qiao Suisui picked up where Carl had left off.
She wasn’t truly calm just before; she knew the better she protected someone, the more Zong Fang would make that person suffer. She had guessed when Carl had shown up that it was Ruka and Leberli who had sent him to rescue her. They didn’t know that she could actually get out on her own, this time Zong Fang hadn’t truly imprisoned her.
The reason she stayed was to find a balance in her relationship with Zong Fang, but now it seemed that balance was unattainable. Carl’s arrival provided her with an opportunity.
"Zong Fang, we can’t stay here forever, can we?"
"Why not? You don’t want to?"
Qiao Suisui sighed, looking somewhat helpless. "Is there medical equipment here? What am I supposed to do about my delivery? After the cub is born, are we just going to stay here forever, seeing no one?"
Zong Fang’s brow twitched slightly, showing signs of wavering.
Despite his poor relationship with his father and family and his reclusive behavior, he had loved research since he was young. At Soter, he had learned a great deal of knowledge and later even conducted experiments with professors in the field, all based on resources and relationships from the outside world. He hated his father and had vowed never to become a man like him, yet now he was about to become a father himself, and he was locking up his child’s world...
Qiao Suisui knew he hesitated, so she added fuel to the fire.
"Zong Fang, I know you feel insecure because I’ve deceived you multiple times, but we can’t change the past. Shouldn’t we think about the future?" She stepped closer, gently grabbed his hand, and looked up at him. "I really want this litter, your cub."
The man’s pupils trembled, and he immediately grasped her hand. Zong Fang felt a tightness in his throat and a sourness at the tip of his nose, an unfamiliar emotion surging to his heart.
"But what about your health?"
Even though most cubs were now genetically bred and incubated, Zong Fang had learned about normal female conception when Qiao Suisui was first pregnant. Female Snake Beastmen could only bear two litters a year, and if the female’s weight was below standard, or if she gave birth too often, it would be very likely to lead to difficult childbirth, even if she lays eggs, she would be extremely weak.
Zong Fang couldn’t gamble with her life. At first, he had indeed wanted cubs, but he gradually realized that it was because he loved her that he wanted to have children with her, not because he wanted children that he loved her.
Now, her pregnancy wasn’t that far along, a proper abortion operation followed by postoperative care and recuperation would definitely be less risky than giving birth... But she was so determined, saying she definitely wanted to give birth to his child, Zong Fang felt his cold heart completely melt, and couldn’t bring himself to tell her to have an abortion.
Qiao Suisui now understood that this was the reason he didn’t want the cub, and she felt slightly moved. Zong Fang’s genes and strength were indeed the strongest currently, and most importantly, snake cubs naturally had an advantage in numbers. The System had also notified her that this time she only needed to carry one egg, and there would be no problems during delivery. But she definitely couldn’t just tell Zong Fang that.
"Zong Fang, have you forgotten? I have your talent, I’ll be fine."
Zong Fang was startled and saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but his worried expression didn’t lessen. "But you will feel pain. My self-healing only speeds up wound healing; it doesn’t mean you won’t feel any pain."
He held her hand, trembling slightly, his face full of struggle.
"Qiaoqiao, I don’t want you to be in pain."
Qiao Suisui wanted to persuade him further, but she heard Carl, who was sitting off to the side and couldn’t stand it anymore, his tone of impatience and sarcasm even more pronounced than before.
He raised his hands high, clapping loudly while whistling, "Are you two acting here? Nicely said, keep talking, say more if you can."
