Chapter 7: She is your ancestor

"Regarding what happened that night, I have always wanted to talk to you about it."

"What matter?"

As soon as she asked, she knew what it was, so she bit her lip and shifted her gaze to the side unnaturally.

"That night we..." Luka just started, but was interrupted by the butler behind him.

"Master, Officer Angsi has an urgent matter to find you, I have already brought him to your office." The butler stood at the garden entrance, bowing to request instructions.

Qiao Suisui breathed a sigh of relief, and vaguely felt some disappointment. In the end, the two didn't finish the conversation; along the way, Luka sent her back to her room and didn't mention that night again.

Inside the office.

Angsi said impatiently: "Colonel, this time we really made a great contribution."

Luka unbuttoned two buttons on his military uniform and took out a cigarette to light.

"Tell me the conclusion directly."

"You left too hurriedly at the time, took the necklace and left, didn't hear the subsequent interrogation. Later, the boss confessed; he said the last female auctioned that night was not a beastman."

"What do you mean not a beastman?"

"She is an ancient human."

Luka's hand holding the cigarette paused; he turned to look at Angsi and found him looking excited.

"I also felt it was nonsense at first, but he spoke with conviction, so I went to investigate based on the boss's confession. He said that when they caught that female, they gave her a comprehensive check and found that although her human structure was like a female beastman, she had no beast form."

"Females who haven't developed well may also be unable to manifest a beast form." Luka countered.

"They also thought it was this situation at first, but one day an expert from the black market came to verify the goods and said that all the characteristics of this little female were completely consistent with ancient human females." Angsi said here, sternly: "If she is an ancient human, then the nature of this illegal auction incident is completely different."

Ancient humans who once lived on Earth left them a large amount of survival skills, technological achievements, and civilized products; relying on these, the Interstellar Federation could be prosperous and orderly after its establishment, with civilization enlightened. Everything about ancient humans was called the 'Bible.' They believed that the development of ancient human wisdom by beastmen was less than ten percent. As far as the present is concerned, a fossil of ancient human feces is priceless in the black market. It is conceivable that if beastmen in the Federation or even the Freedom Alliance knew that there was an ancient human alive on their planet now, what an explosive piece of news it would be, and some would even come to fight for her.

Angsi was still nagging and analyzing, but Luka couldn't hear anything anymore. His head 'buzzed,' and his fingertips holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

No wonder, no wonder he couldn't mark her.

In the primitive era of the galaxy, males would implant their scent into the female's glands after having fun with the female; this was to ensure that their own female walking outside would not be disturbed or snatched by lecherous males, and even if the other party had the heart, they could perceive the strength of the male spouse through the scent on the female, and would have to weigh it if they wanted to strike.

Later, after the civilization level of beastmen improved, this primitive method was retained, symbolizing more of mutual affection. After all, females could refuse to be marked; the cleaner their own scent, the more males they could attract, which was more beneficial to them, so later blocking medicine was invented; facing some domineering and possessive males, females would take blocking medicine, which could exempt them from being marked.

That night, when he was moved, he bit her neck, but found that he couldn't inject his scent into her at all. He thought Suisui was the one who took this kind of medicine. His mind was in a mess at the time, and thinking he had a marriage contract, he had no qualification to bind her, so he didn't mention it.

Originally, he planned to get along with her slowly, let her accept becoming his guardian, and do his best to compensate her for his only indulgence in this life...

Luka closed his eyes and pressed his forehead.

"Who knows about this matter currently?"

Angsi said: "Only I and another officer were present during the interrogation, and I rushed to report to you as soon as I got the news."

"Good, seal the news first."

He must confirm Suisui's identity again; he couldn't be as negligent as last time.

Angsi was puzzled: "Colonel, aren't we reporting it to the superiors?"

"The level of this matter is too high; it must be confirmed correct before reporting."

Afterward, Luka raised the classification level of this sweep of the underground organization to the highest secret level, requiring all personnel involved to submit another incident report, recording everything they saw and heard that day truthfully, without any omissions. And he required everyone to keep this operation secret, with those who violated it being removed from military service.

People in the Military Department were a bit stunned by this; one must know that the last time such a level of secrecy was required was during the Wing War.

After Angsi left, Luka sat alone at the long table for a day; when he stood up again, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

The next day, Suisui was told she was going out.

"Laiboli can check my body, why must I go to an outside hospital?"

She looked at Luka with some anxiety, suspecting if she had already been exposed.

Laiboli coaxed her softly, saying: "My healing art cannot replace a doctor's diagnosis."

Luka knelt on one knee to tie her loosened shoelaces and said faintly: "We'll be back soon, I will accompany you the whole way."

Just like that, the three went to the hospital; until sitting on the flying ship, she unconsciously began to bite her nails.

If it was discovered she wasn't a beastman, wouldn't she be fish on the chopping block?

Luka noticed her nervousness, handed her novel little things without a sound, filling her hands, and Laiboli held her, explaining the scenery outside.

"Look there, that is the landmark of Yatelandisi, symbolizing peace."

"This area is the most prosperous region, you can buy anything."

"That side is the Military Department, which is where this guy usually works."

"That is the military academy..."

Suisui leaned on the flying ship's window, slightly distracted, taking in the sights of the Empire along the way. The technological level of this city was indeed very high, but she didn't know what the world outside Yatelandisi was like.

"We're here."

Luka carried her off the flying ship; she wanted to get down, but found Luka didn't let go, instead carrying her like this toward the hospital gate.

The hospital staff had already made preparations to welcome them. She poked her head out of Luka's arms to look around, finding that there wasn't a single patient in broad daylight.

"Luka, where did the patients go?"

"This is a hospital exclusive to the royal family, providing services only to royal family members. We will do a checkup here first, and afterward, your exclusive hospital will be moved over."

????????????????

Was she hallucinating?

What did he mean by her exclusive hospital?
