I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 159 - More Than Friends

Zong Fang noticed that Qiao Suisui only sipped her drink and didn’t actually drink it. A glint flashed in his eyes. Even the recent favorite chilled watermelon juice, served by a servant, she hadn’t touched.

“Not feeling well?” he asked.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

“Not really,” Qiao Suisui replied.

Zong Fang nodded and said no more.

Midway through the dinner, Qiao Suisui sent the servants away, leaving only them in the room. Then, she narrated her findings from her trip to the Southern Battlefield from start to finish to Ruka and Leberli, but omitted the details about the chip. She felt that such important evidence should only be handed over to Anubis in person.

“…so I’m thinking of going to the school tomorrow to meet Anubis and hand over everything I found to him.”

After Qiao Suisui finished speaking, Leberli gave Ruka a meaningful glance. Carl didn’t even flinch, and while secretly playing with her hand under the table, he nonchalantly said, “Go ahead, it’d be good to return the Wolf Teeth to him.”

At his words, all three men focused their gaze and asked, “Wolf Teeth?”

Qiao Suisui immediately slapped the back of his hand and said, “I’ve told you several times, it’s Wolf Teeth.”

Ruka was startled and asked, “He gave you the Wolf King’s Wolf Teeth?”

Astonishment flickered in Leberli’s eyes. Zong Fang scoffed, and the goblet in front of him cracked at the sound.

Qiao Suisui, not understanding their strong reaction, said, “Yes, he gave it to me before I left. What is it? Is it very precious?”

Carl leaned back in his chair, casually saying, “Not precious, not precious at all, it just happens to be able to command all the Wolf Beastmen.”

?!

Qiao Suisui grew restless. Not believing Carl’s sarcastic tone, she turned her face to look at Ruka.

After a moment of silence, Ruka said, “To be precise, it can command not only the Wolf Clan but also the Rebel Army.”

Dante Connor was the Wolf King and also the leader of the Rebel Army, and his influence was unquestionable. Now, having been defeated by his son Anubis, he should have stepped down, but perhaps out of paternal duty and love, he had kept this news secret. He was prepared to face death in his confrontation with the Federation, while Anubis, by staying hidden, would face less danger when the time came.

Zong Fang said, “The cohesion of the Rebel Army is not something those of the Federation, merely a group of opportunists, can compare with. The Federation holds only the advantage of being a large force; their inner strength has long been divided. In the event of a real crisis, they will flee faster than anyone else.”

Qiao Suisui was hearing recognition of someone else from Zong Fang’s lips for the first time, and one could imagine just how formidable the Rebel Army indeed was. She suddenly felt the Wolf Teeth weighed heavily.

“Should I… return it to Anubis?”

Perhaps Anubis had asked her to keep it only out of desperation, especially since they were being pursued by the Scavenger at the time, and he was worried that if he were captured, the Federation might use such an important item as the Wolf Teeth to lure and besiege the Rebel Army.

Indeed, the more Qiao Suisui thought about it, the more she believed that was the case.

At that moment, the men at the table tacitly refrained from telling her the real meaning of the Wolf Teeth, which was to choose one person for life—where you live, they live; where you die, they die.

During the latter part of the banquet, everyone seemed somewhat distracted. Qiao Suisui was particularly affected, her appetite lost, feeling the significance of the Wolf Teeth so grave she worried she might lose it and wanted to go back and check.

Meanwhile, Leberli glanced at Ruka several times, but seeing that he never mentioned inviting Anubis to the Imperial Court, he couldn’t help but frown.

Leberli didn’t see that young man as a threat, but he knew Suisui valued him highly, having risked her life for him on several occasions. Therefore, before leaving, he had suggested to Ruka that he should find Anubis and bring him back to counterbalance Zong Fang. After all, the fiercest clash between Suisui and Zong Fang had been because of him.

Sikoses had agreed at the time, so why was he now completely silent about it?

Leberli tilted his head back and drained his glass in one go, cast a final look at Ruka, then turned and said, “Suisui, I have good news for you.”

“What is it?”

“Anubis is in the Imperial Court,” Leberli stared at Ruka, stating as a fact, “Isn’t that right, Sikoses?”

Carl sat up abruptly, and Zong Fang also looked up, his silver eyes revealing an undeniable sharpness.

While Ruka, unhurriedly wiping his mouth with a napkin, after seeing the expectant look in Qiao Suisui’s eyes, gave her an apologetic smile and said, “He didn’t want to come.”

Some days earlier.

“Why?” Anubis asked.

Ruka stopped, extinguished his cigarette, and turned to look at him: “I don’t want her to focus all her attention on one person.”

Anubis frowned and asked, “What can I do if I go?”

Ruka looked into his sincere, bright eyes, which currently showed genuine confusion, and said, “Don’t you know she cares about you?”

Anubis was taken aback, and after a long moment, he looked down and said, “You are mistaken, she… probably just sees me as a friend….”

Although the kiss in the bridge tunnel was unforgettable, and although she would tease him with a smiling kiss, at most, they were more than friends but less than lovers. Anubis was well aware of where his love flowed and how intense it was, but he dared not believe that Qiao reciprocated to the same extent.

He looked up, gazing at the mature and steady man before him, and said sincerely, “Qiao is very sensitive inside. She subconsciously notices and cares about others’ emotions and gazes. As long as someone is slightly kind to her, she will think of reciprocating generously; likewise, if someone is hot and cold towards her, making her feel insecure, she quickly withdraws.

I think what you see as her caring for me might be because I met her expectations, and because she is grateful or moved, or thinks she needs to cherish that, she goes out of her way to help me.”

“I will not go with you to the Imperial Court because that would mean bringing her trouble. Once Auslan gets entangled with the Rebel Army, the haven that belongs to her will disappear.”

Anubis refused to become her burden and would not allow her to be put in danger because of him.

Ruka quietly listened to him, now truly assessing the young man before him, his subdued dark eyes and explosive physique. He had just come of age, yet his broad shoulders already bore significant responsibilities.

“If you run into any difficult issues you can come to me, and I will help you once. This is my way of thanking you for telling me all this,” Ruka said.

Having said that, Ruka turned and walked away.
