Chapter 66: If You Can Talk, Say More

Ka'er spent 12 seconds just on his cool entrance.

He didn't tell those men that in his current severely injured state, he could only trigger one "Break" ability; if he wanted to take her out, he had to wait for his talent to cool down. One must always be on guard; he had always shown a mix of truth and lies regarding how his talent worked and what its limitations were. Sometimes, after telling so many lies, he himself forgot the truth. The nature of his work dictated that he couldn't easily expose his weaknesses or his true heart.

Besides, even if he were in good condition, he didn't want to take the little boss out.

Going out meant three males surrounding her, while inside there was only one. Did they think he was stupid?

He would take this opportunity to observe Qiao Suisui properly.

She was just a female, nothing more than having a womb compared to other artificial females. A group of guys who couldn't control their lower halves, all of them bewitched to the point of losing their way. He wanted to see what was so special about this little thing.

This look was not trivial; he saw something that required payment.

Ka'er's irritability surged for some reason, and he raised an eyebrow, smiling with a sarcastic tone: "Are you not treating me as an outsider?"

He leaned lazily against the doorframe, sneered at Zongfang, and said, "Put some clothes on, you." Shameless, flirtatious man.

Zongfang was so angry he laughed; he hadn't expected someone so unafraid of death to dare provoke him in his own space. His silver pupils suddenly turned into vertical slits, and scales appeared beneath his eyes. Qiao Suisui knew this was a precursor to a massacre.

She hurriedly grabbed Zongfang's arm, signaling him not to.

Zongfang narrowed his eyes at her, his tone unfriendly: "What is your relationship with him?"

Ka'er also noticed her movement, thinking Qiao Suisui was pleading for him because she was worried he wouldn't fare well under Zongfang, and his previous irritability suddenly dissipated.

Qiao Suisui shook her head and said, "No relationship at all. I just wanted to say that if you fight him here, your mental power is too strong, and I won't be able to handle it."

Ka'er:?

Zongfang:.

The man touched her head, and seeing that she didn't care about Ka'er at all, his mood clearly improved, so he whispered into her ear, "Be good, stay here and don't run around. I'll come back and continue talking to you."

Zongfang stood up, blocking Ka'er's line of sight from Qiao Suisui. He stepped toward him, only to see Ka'er make a gesture first.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here to fight. The people outside sent me in to take her away."

Zongfang sneered, "Just you?"

Ka'er shrugged, smiling like a rogue.

"I'm an SS-rank, and I'm injured, so of course I can't beat you." As he spoke, he walked in and sat down on the sofa, crossing his hands behind his head, stretching out comfortably as if he had arrived at his own home. "So I didn't intend to take her away either, but the people outside forced me in, and I had no choice. Just let me recover from my injuries here, and let me know when you want to go out."

Zongfang frowned; he began to wonder if his killing intent had subsided, leading this man to be so shameless.

"Forget it, don't mind him." Qiao Suisui took over Ka'er's words and followed along.

She hadn't been truly nervous just now; rather, she understood that the more she protected someone, the more Zongfang would make that person suffer. When Ka'er appeared, she guessed that Luka and Laiboli had sent him to save her. They didn't know that she could actually leave directly; this time, Zongfang hadn't truly imprisoned her.

She stayed here because she wanted to find a balance in her relationship with Zongfang, but now it seemed that balance was impossible. Ka'er's arrival provided her with an opportunity.

"Zongfang, we can't stay here forever, can we?"

"Why not? Are you unwilling?"

Qiao Suisui sighed, her expression somewhat helpless. "Are there medical facilities in here? What about the time I'm waiting to give birth? After the cubs are born, are they supposed to stay in here forever, without seeing anyone?"

Hearing this, Zongfang's brows twitched slightly, and he wavered.

Although his relationship with his father and family was poor, and he was a loner, he had loved research since he was a child. When he was in Sote, he learned a vast amount of knowledge and later conducted experiments with professors in the industry; all of this came from external resources and interpersonal relationships. He hated his father and swore never to become like him, yet now he was about to become a father, and he was locking his child in a single world...

Qiao Suisui knew he was hesitating, so she added more fuel to the fire.

"Zongfang, I know you don't feel secure because I've lied to you many times, but the past cannot be changed. Why don't we think about the future, okay?" She walked closer, took the initiative to gently hook his hand, and looked up at him. "I really want this litter of cubs, your cubs."

The man's pupils trembled, and he immediately gripped her hand back. Zongfang felt his throat tighten, his nose ache, and an unfamiliar emotion surged in his heart.

"But what about your body?"

Although most cubs were currently being incubated using gene cultivation, Zongfang had learned about the knowledge of normal female conception when Qiao Suisui was pregnant for the first time. Female snake beastmen gave birth to at most two litters a year. If the female's weight didn't meet the standard, or if she gave birth too many times, it would be very easy to have a difficult labor, and even if she laid eggs, she would be very weak.

Zongfang couldn't gamble with her life. He had indeed wanted cubs at first, but later he gradually realized that he wanted to combine with her and have children because he loved her, not that he loved her because he wanted to have children.

She wasn't very far along in her pregnancy now; having a proper abortion surgery, plus post-operative care and recuperation, would be much less risky than giving birth... But she was so determined and said she must give birth to his child. Zongfang felt his cold heart melt completely, and the words to tell her to have an abortion were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

Qiao Suisui only now realized that this was the reason he didn't want the cubs, and she was somewhat moved. Zongfang's genes and strength were indeed the strongest currently, and most importantly, snake cubs had a natural advantage in numbers. The system had also prompted her that she only needed to carry one egg this time, and there would be no problems during birth. But she certainly couldn't tell Zongfang that.

"Zongfang, have you forgotten? I have your talent; I won't be in any danger."

Zongfang was stunned, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes at the thought, but his worried expression didn't diminish. "But you will be in pain. My self-healing only accelerates wound closure; it doesn't mean you won't feel the pain."

His hand holding hers trembled slightly, his brows full of struggle.

"Qiaoqiao, I don't want you to be in pain."

Qiao Suisui wanted to persuade him further, but she heard Ka'er, who was sitting to the side, unable to listen any longer. He looked impatient, and the concentration of his sarcasm was even higher than before.

He raised his hands high and applauded loudly, whistling as he said: "Are you two filming a drama here? Well said, if you can talk, say more." ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
