I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 68: Change for Love

Carl reined in his smile, slightly lifted his chin, and quietly watched her.

"Did you not hear me clearly? I said that if I leave, this place will collapse."

He told her this word by word, but Qiao Suisui just gently nodded without showing any change in expression.

"I know." She looked at Carl, her clear eyes extremely tranquil. "Your injuries are severe, and you shouldn't stay here to delay further. I will try to persuade Zong Fang for the last time tonight. After tonight, whether he and I are leaving or not, you should go."

Upon hearing this, Carl felt a tumult of emotions, a sense of unwillingness entwining his heart.

Was she now planning to lay down her life to accompany that man?

If you say she's heartless, she clearly didn't need to come to treat my injuries, nor did she have to urge me to leave quickly so as not to delay my healing. But if you say she's caring?

Her care seemed neither painful nor itchy, and it wasn't meant for him.

The unnamed fire in Carl rose again, and he stepped forward, grabbing her wrist, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Have you become addicted to playing his lover? Don't move, I'm taking you out now."

Qiao Suisui frowned and pushed him away, not understanding why this man's temper suddenly flared.

"Carl, I can get out on my own. Zong Fang gave this space to me, and I can leave whenever I want." She looked up anxiously at the sky, feeling that Zong Fang might come back at any moment, trying to shake off his hand, but the man wouldn't let go. "If you want to leave, go by yourself. I need to go back."

Carl had lost his usual relaxed humor, his face was now rarely serious. He clenched Qiao Suisui's wrist, his voice almost a growl as he questioned her: "Are you going back to continue being his pampered pet? Or to be a tool for bearing children?"

Qiao Suisui was stunned.

She had always been aware of her situation, but now being bluntly confronted by another person, it felt like a slap in the face. Carl had ripped off the veil she had always been reluctant to touch.

Her shoulders drooped, and she stopped struggling, simply bowing her head and asking quietly, "Then tell me, how should I survive?"

She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears yet desperately holding them back not to let them fall, her expression defiant and pitiful. Carl, looking at her, felt as if his heart had been hammered, and he couldn't even feel the pain of his wounds anymore.

"Not rely on him, but on you?"

"Or any random male on the roadside?"

"The Imperial Court or this space, it's all cages. Tell me, what's the difference?"

Carl knew he had said the wrong thing. He moved his lips, looking at her red eyes, and suddenly found himself unable to retort.

He felt utterly foolish. Although he wanted to look out for her, what he said still came off as condescending. Yes, he too was a male, what right did he have to criticize the means by which she survived? Being able to conceive was seemingly a great ability in this world, coveted by every male, but it also undoubtedly increased her burden, forcing her to be contested over without the freedom to choose.

Seeing Carl frozen and speechless, Qiao Suisui shook off his hand with a gentle flick, that light touch pushing Carl back so far he actually became scared, scared that he couldn't get close to her anymore.

He wanted to speak up in his defense, but saw Qiao Suisui had already lowered her eyes and turned to leave, her petite body suddenly devoid of its former vivacity.

Carl involuntarily took a step forward, but stopped when he saw the man standing opposite him.

Zong Fang was standing right there, his gaze fixed on Qiao Suisui, obviously having been there listening for a while.

Both thought that the next second Zong Fang would explode with rage, but instead, they saw him slowly step forward and embrace her tightly.

"Qiaoqiao, don't be sad, we're going out."

Qiao Suisui was stunned, looking up at his expression from his embrace, making sure he was not fooling her.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Zong Fang gently stroked the stray hair by her temples, "You want to ask me why I changed my mind, don't you?"

She nodded.

"Why didn't you go with him just now, choosing instead to stay with me?"

"Because I don't want you to be alone."

Zong Fang's eyes reddened, he lowered his gaze to her and showed an unprecedented tender smile.

"Your words are enough for me."

He hugged her tightly once more, encircling her waist, kissing the top of her head gently.

"I also want everyone to know that you are not my pet, not a tool for procreation. Qiaoqiao, you are my gift."

It turned out that love really can soften a person.

If it hadn't been for Carl's awakening words, he might still have been unable to understand why Qiaoqiao tried to escape from him time and again.

He had thought she merely disliked being confined and was indecisive between him and a few other males, not recognizing that she had always been carefully protecting her own dignity. That's why she wrapped herself up in an attitude of loving no one and caring about no one.

Against Qiao Suisui, Zong Fang's venom and hardness had completely dissolved. If she was unwilling to change, then he would. If she was unwilling to compromise, then he would. In any case, he was willing.

Carl stood stiffly to one side like a stone weathered by many years, suddenly finding a bitter taste in his mouth, his heart shriveling into a withered apple. He didn't understand what emotion it was or where it came from. He looked blankly at Qiao Suisui, who was clutching the corner of that man's clothes...

Despite appearing so frail and timid, so much as teasing her would make her throw up, yet at such a moment, she chose to stand by someone who had once hurt her, unhesitatingly.

Wasn't she heartless?

Why not remain heartless to the end?

Why... show tenderness to others...

Noticing Carl's gaze, Zong Fang locked eyes with him, his look full of warning. He did not demonstrate any spiritual power's oppression, a mere glance filled with killing intent was enough to involuntarily tighten Carl's back.

Zong Fang hadn't taken care of Carl right from the start because he saw Talent in Carl. Breakthrough was one of the extremely rare Talents that still existed, allowing one in the peak state of power to even create a black hole out of thin air during group combat, using the properties of Breakthrough to transfer attacks into another space. He had planned on conducting thorough research, but now... whoever made his Qiaoqiao sad, no matter how capable, could not stay.

He held Qiao Suisui in one arm, and before the person in his arms could react, he charged his other hand and attacked Carl directly, sending him flying.

Qiao Suisui turned at the sound, only to see Carl falling to the ground awkwardly, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and the next moment, he astonishingly reverted back to his Beast Form.

A leopard with grey and white fur, black spots, and rings, and a long, thick tail lay on the ground.

She quickly clutched Zong Fang's arm, shaking her head at him.

"Don't kill him, what if he dies and this space collapses?"

Zong Fang stroked her hair and said 'okay', then picked up the snow leopard, took Qiao Suisui's hand, closed his eyes, and the two of them left the space together.
