I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 127: Registering a Spouse
When the two left, an insect resting on a tree also spread its wings and flew away.
The scenery around swiftly receded as the insect's translucent wings fluttered. After traveling a certain distance, it gently landed on a man's fingertip.
"Secretary-General Wei Shou, should we follow them?"
The man in black from before and the Federation enforcement officers who had been chasing Qiao Suisui now stood together, waiting for instructions.
Wei Shou used his spiritual power to retrieve the energy fragments from the insect and tossed them into the air, whereupon Qiao Suisui and Bi's conversation echoed in the air.
Hearing that they were going to the Female Protection Association, a flash of confusion crossed Wei Shou's brows, but he quickly issued a command, "Don't follow them yet. The people from the Female Protection Association didn't give us a heads-up; it might expose our plan. You all return to standby."
"Yes."
...
Qiao Suisui and Anubis arrived at the Female Protection Association but did not encounter the warmly guiding staff as the regulations required. Instead, after queuing for two hours, they finally received service.
The full name of the Female Protection Association centered on all affairs relating to females, and its most important function was to match females with highly suitable males and register their spousal relationship. Besides that, there was also the guardian registration service.
Therefore, when the staff member saw Anubis, they were first captivated by his face and build, which made them take a few extra looks before showing a standard service smile. Skipping the questioning phase, they said to Qiao Suisui, "There's quite a queue for spouse registration today. Do you have an appointment?"
Anubis's face flushed at once, and Qiao Suisui also hurriedly waved her hands in denial.
"No, no, he's just accompanying me. I, I came to look up some personal information."
"Alright, then follow me," said the staff member, sending her a suggestive wink that seemed to imply 'Don't be shy, we've all been there–it's only a matter of time for you two.'
Soon they were led to a service window and began queuing again until half an hour later, it was finally their turn.
Qiao Suisui presented Ellie's ID and used an illusion pill to mimic her appearance, successfully passing the verification.
She watched the staff member pull up all her information, including her brother Evon's name still listed in the guardian section.
Qiao Suisui said, "My brother has passed away, so I am without a guardian now."
The staff member deftly manipulated something on the transparent electronic screen and said, "I'm sorry, but we do not have a death certificate for the guardian registered here. Can you provide one?"
Qiao Suisui frowned at this.
"My brother really is dead. He hasn't come back for a very long time, and during this period, I've been living alone. I can't produce a death certificate."
The staff member displayed a standard smile and said, "Then I'm sorry, but without proof, we cannot proceed with cancelling the guardian registration."
Being unable to cancel the guardian registration meant Ellie still would not receive protection from the Female Protection Association.
Qiao Suisui felt the process was simply too inhumane. A person who had lost a loved one should receive more sympathy and care, yet not only did they fail to recognize the living conditions of a special intelligence population like Ellie's, but they also required her to present her own family member's death certificate to move the process forward.
Thinking about this, she clenched her fists.
"Then how can I get your protection?"
The staff member glanced at the identity information in front of him and saw the word "inferior" marked under the gene column. He looked somewhat contemptuous but still forced a smile, "I don't handle inquiry services here. Why don't you go to the lobby, take a number again and ask at the inquiry window?"
Without waiting for her to speak, the worker rudely called out behind her, "Next."
After waiting in line for three hours, she had only spoken two sentences, and now she had to queue up all over again.
Qiao Suisui was fuming with rage, unable to understand how such a place could be the Female Protection Association—they probably couldn't even protect a breast!
Although Anubis didn't know what she wanted to do, he had been silently following her since a moment ago. Seeing her stand up swiftly in anger, he stepped forward, stood in front of her, and said coldly to the seat-bound staff member, "We're not queuing. Just answer this, can you or can you not?"
The staff member frowned and was about to call security but suddenly saw everything plunge into darkness, as if they had become isolated from the world.
Qiao Suisui was also startled, but Anubis quickly took her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we are now in my domain, the outside world is at a standstill. Whatever you want to ask him, ask now."
With that, Anubis walked up to the person who was staring wide-eyed in terror and looked sharply into his eyes.
"Answer what she asks, and don't waste our time."
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Qiao Suisui stepped forward and asked him, "The regulations clearly stipulate that the Female Protection Association must visit the homes of females in a timely manner. Why don't you follow through?"
"We do follow through. Every month we deliver gift boxes to superior females and record their conditions in the homes of their guardians or spouses. If they have any troubles, we also resolve them," he replied.
"Superior females?" Qiao Suisui furrowed her brows. "You also classify females by grade?"
"How else would we manage?"
Anubis's brows lifted coldly, and instantly, a cut appeared on the body of the staff member, "Answer properly."
The staff member cried out in fear, no longer daring, and explained to Qiao Suisui, "We classify management based on the gene grade of females. Naturally-born females are precious, they are the pinnacle of the tower, and it's hard to find one in hundreds of years. That's why we generally can't handle such top-grade females—because their guardians or spouses fully take over. Look, just like the naturally-born female who blew up the net a while ago, we tried to negotiate with the Imperial Court many times, and even communicated with the Colonel from the Military Department numerous times, but we didn't even get to see that female."
Qiao Suisui didn't expect that the Female Protection Association had privately approached Ruka and Leberli to take custody of her.
"Our main work is on females with superior genes. We make sure to attend to them in every way possible, serving them well is the proper task. As for those with good genes, we won't neglect them either. There are more females of this grade than the superior ones, and they can be matched with many males."
"As for females with average genes, we regularly monitor their condition. If there's a problem and we can solve it, we will; if we can't, we'll have to ask them to endure. The most common issue for average females is not being able to handle being matched with too many males, but there's no helping it—females are too rare. There are only so many, and of course, the superior ones get to choose first, and then it's allocated step by step downwards."
The more Qiao Suisui heard, the deeper her frown became. "What about the inferior ones? The interstellar regulations clearly state in black on white that every female should be ensured the most complete treatment. Why do you know nothing about Ellie's situation?"
The worker ruefully touched his nose and said, "The number of inferiors is the most. We initially tried to manage them, but later found out that each year, the artificially-created females with inferior genes always had all sorts of problems, either unable to take care of themselves, lacking intelligence, or some couldn't even speak. Gradually, we only did the bare minimum. It's usually the males of lower status and average condition who are willing to accept inferior females, and as for how they fare... It entirely depends on whether the male has any decency."

Qiao Suisui felt a chill all over, trembling with anger. Anubis had been paying attention to her expression all along. At this moment, he quietly walked to her side and lowering his head said—
