I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 125: Man-Made Coincidence
Qiao Suisui, clad in an inconspicuous cloak, walked down the street. She always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her from behind.
She quickened her pace, deliberately took several turns, and found that instead of disappearing, the feeling of being watched grew stronger.
But she was not panicked; her hand beneath the cloak quietly tightened around the Emei dagger. With her current spiritual power, she was fully capable of escaping unscathed. Moreover, she wanted to know who exactly had sent these people. Were they after her, or were they after Ellie?
Instead of heading towards a crowded area, Qiao Suisui purposely took a roundabout route, twisting and turning into a desolate alley.
Suddenly, a group of people burst out of the alley, blocking her path.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Qiao Suisui pretended to be scared, her voice trembling.
The three or four males opposite did not speak; like trained machines, they wore plain clothes, but Qiao Suisui was still meticulous to catch a glimpse of their shoes.
She had seen Carl wearing this type of custom-made shoes before—ordinary-looking on the surface, but specially supplied by the Federation for the operatives belonging to Federation Central, not only lightweight but also fireproof, waterproof, and blade resistant. These people had changed clothes, yet they overlooked this detail.
It seemed that the people from the Federation finally couldn't restrain themselves and wanted to capture her...
She took a half-step back, tightly gripping the Emei dagger hidden behind her.
"Who sent you?"
The few men opposite her did not answer, but closed in step by step. Seeing this fragile Ancient Human before them shake with fear, almost collapsing to the ground, they all let down their guard and reached out to grab her. But then, a swift flash of white light whizzed past, and the man at the front had his throat slashed open by the sharp weapon. His eyes widened in horror, one hand clutching his bleeding neck, as he stared at the slender girl who was now swiftly turning and fleeing.
The Federation's people had shock in their eyes; they hadn't even seen how she made her move!
Even so, being specially trained duty officers, they quickly exchanged glances and followed Qiao Suisui at a steady pace. In reality, with their physical strength, they could have easily caught up to her, but they did not do so. Instead, they used the hunting techniques of the primal plains, splitting into two groups to drive Qiao Suisui towards an unattended, dilapidated manor.
Qiao Suisui hurried through several remote alleys; her heartbeat accelerated, but she remained calm. Having revealed her identity, she was mentally prepared; this was not the first time she had faced danger, nor would it be the last.
She quickly sought a hiding place within the estate, and eventually, in a warehouse with its large doors open, she found a cellar leading underground. She quietly opened the door, slipped inside quickly, and covered the trapdoor, holding her breath.
She had wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape, but before long, she heard the sounds of fighting from outside the manor. She quietly opened a crack and saw through the narrow gap a group of people in black uniforms besieging a hat-wearing young man.
That person was clearly limited in spiritual power, relying solely on agile skills for defense. Despite his exceptional abilities, he was gradually becoming overwhelmed by the numerous black-clad assailants.
Suddenly, his hat was knocked off, and Qiao Suisui's eyes widened in shock.
It was Anubis!
Her heart tightened, knowing that if things continued like this, Anubis was likely to be captured.
Qiao Suisui quietly emerged from the cellar, hiding at the doorway, gathering all her spiritual power, and releasing her oppressive force.
The brilliant pale violet energy beams rippled like ripples in a lake, spreading out in circles and striking the black-clad people squarely.
Qiao Suisui's hair flew about as she took advantage of everyone's momentary lack of response to reach out and pull Anubis into the underground cellar.
"Water in Fire, now!"
She used Water in Fire to block the pursuers, and a blue flame like a dragon quickly encircled the entire warehouse. From the outside, it looked like a raging fire, but the inside was unharmed.
The young man was suddenly pulled into the cellar and instinctively entered combat mode, but upon seeing that the person who pulled him was an unfamiliar female, his already subdued eyes grew colder, and a hint of doubt and wariness flashed across Anubis's face.
"Who are you?" His voice was deep and oppressive.
Qiao Suisui was taken aback and then remembered she currently had the appearance of Ellie. She hesitated for a second or two, and then went along with it, saying, "My name is Ellie. Usually, there's another door in a wine cellar we can use to leave from here."
Anubis's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if he were deeply contemplating whether there was a trap hidden in her words.
The mysteriously appeared female possessed considerable spiritual power and could even control fire... Thinking of this, Anubis recalled Qiao's Fire Control, and his brow twitched.
The wine cellar was dimly lit, but the wolf's night vision was excellent. At this moment, Suisui couldn't see clearly, but he could see Qiao Suisui quite well.
Anubis's gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds, taking in her curly long hair and delicate features, and then he indifferently looked away—his gaze pausing slightly when he noticed the action of her fingers pinching and stroking the hem of her dress.
This small habit... was just like Qiao's.
But Qiao's fire was red.
Anubis fell silent for a moment before asking,
"How did you get your Fire Control ability?"
"Ah? It's just..." Not wanting to reveal her strength, Qiao Suisui made up a lie: "It's a new type of weapon. My family gave it to me for self-defense."
Upon hearing this, Anubis lowered his eyelids and looked away from her.
He leaned against the wine cellar wall, and due to the small space near the entrance, his tall stature forced him to hunch slightly. The two of them had to stand very close to each other, but Anubis kept to the wall, trying his best not to touch the female in front of him.
His eyes shone so brightly in the darkness at that moment, making Qiao Suisui feel somewhat guilty.
"What, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." His voice was cold.
"Who are those people? Why are they chasing you?"
After Qiao Suisui asked, she realized that Anubis had no intention of interacting with her. The young man was silently observing the structure of the wine cellar.
Okay, so he's even colder than usual.
While she was silently criticizing him, suddenly, the entire wine cellar shook, and the ground made a 'boom' sound.
Qiao Suisui was shaken off balance, falling forward and instinctively grabbing Anubis's collar. Anubis frowned during the commotion, and just as he was about to raise his hand to push off the person clinging to him, because of Qiao Suisui's movements, his nostrils flared slightly and he caught the scent from her body.
His heart skipped a beat.
That scent...
He would never mistake it!

Qiao Suisui, having instinctively closed her eyes just moments ago, now that the shaking had subsided slightly, came to her senses and quickly let go of Anubis's collar. However, she discovered that a hand had somehow found its way to her lower back, holding her steady.
In the darkness, those indifferent eyes became incredibly focused, scrutinizing her without missing a beat.
