Chapter 571: Continuing the Lineage?! You're Even Dumber Than a Fool!

~7 min read 1,280 words

Dong Qianqing heard that and a look of struggle appeared on her face, then she said firmly, "I've successfully traversed the difficult road ahead, so I can certainly make it through the future!"

"Because it was early pregnancy then, to put it bluntly, it wouldn't even be called a burden."

"When your belly gets bigger, even the loosest clothes can't hide it."

"You understand human nature, so you also know what kind of predicament you'll face."

"Even if you manage to give birth, what about the future? Would you let an infant who hasn't even grown a full set of teeth, let alone walk, compete with players who have several levels of Innate Talent or Gene Modification?" Su Yang issued a soul‑piercing question.

"I…"

Before Dong Qianqing could speak, Su Yang cut in, "It's fine that you choose to welcome new life, but have you considered how players who would even harshly treat a pregnant woman would react upon seeing a newborn infant?"

"A life with Unbound Chicken Strength, one that even a wild cat could snatch away, how long could it survive?"

"There aren't that many 'ifs' in the world, and fate can't always be on your side."

"The Shop does indeed offer a Resurrection chance, but can you and the child's father guarantee a 100% acquisition?"

"For an Ascend God Seed, even resurrecting an unevolved player is a hundred or a thousand times better than an infant!"

"You once said you have a pair of cute children; I don't know if, out of longing, you chose to treat them as a Replacement to make up for a mother's shortfall."

Speaking of that, Su Yang shifted tone, "I'm not saying you should give up, but rather find a way to protect."

"Honestly… I really admire your courage."

"You dare to try the road others won't walk."

Dong Qianqing's complexion darkened, her eyes full of worry and sorrow, "You're right, I can't bear this responsibility."

"I've struggled and tried; this is a decision my husband and I made together. No matter how hard the road ahead, I'll fight to protect him."

Su Yang suddenly halted, puzzled, "Your… husband?"

"Well, I'm lucky; we were assigned the same dormitory, and he also became an Ascend God Seed," Dong Qianqing's face, after a long time, showed a smile.

She only feels relaxed when talking about family and children.

"No wonder…" Su Yang nodded.

If faced with a stranger, seeking only physical comfort is completely unnecessary.

In such an environment, if there is no genuine love between men and women, no one is willing to bear a burden.

I didn't expect Dong Qianqing's luck could be this good.

"So what's your plan?" Su Yang continued walking forward.

"We'll keep trying to move forward; when the car reaches the mountain, a road will appear, and hope will eventually come," Dong Qianqing said firmly, passing through the Passage.

"I wish you success; I also want to see how high a child born in a prison can rise," Su Yang smiled faintly.

"Thank you," Dong Qianqing said, then, recalling something, a strange sparkle appeared in her eyes, "You've told me so much about children; could it be that you also want to continue the lineage here?"

Su Yang shook his head and laughed, "I don't even have a lover; my fate hasn't even a single stroke, how could I talk about offspring?"

A fleeting narrow thought flashed in Dong Qianqing's eyes, "With your abilities and looks, no one takes you? Could it be that all your Dependents are big masters?"

Somehow, when she asked that, several Silhouettes suddenly appeared in Su Yang's mind.

"My idea is simple: unless it's absolutely safe, never take risks, and never give any promises," Su Yang said plainly.

"Young man, you're great; I admire you," Dong Qianqing patted his shoulder.

"Su Yang, I also admire you!"

Cao An emerged from nowhere, took off his pants and gave him a thumbs‑up.

"Pfft~" Dong Qianqing couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

Su Yang's brows furrowed into a 'river' shape, irritated, "Flatter if you must, but what's the point of wobbling around?"

"Hehe~ I need to pee."

"Get out of the way and pee!"

————

Half an hour later, Su Yang, with Wang Daohui's corpse on his left shoulder and two wild chickens and two wild rabbits in his right hand, walked out of the Forest.

As dusk fell, the Beasts began to forage, and sharp‑eyed Cao An often caught Sight of their movements.

Thanks to his playful nature, otherwise Su Yang would have been unable to smoothly

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door, they saw a Silhouette with her back to the three, currently holding a bowl.

"Miss Su?" Dong Qianqing subconsciously glanced at Su Yang.

Su Peixian turned her head, revealing a face smeared with blood, and gave a faint smile, "You've returned?"

"Zhu Xiang?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

Su Peixian set down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin, stood up and asked, "Are you close with him? Why such concern for his life or death?"

"Bang!"

Su Yang threw Wang Daohui's corpse onto the ground, the prey together, "What I care about is my own safety coefficient; if he were my companion, I'd have to prepare an exit in advance?"

"I'm afraid that will disappoint you," Su Peixian said.

"Be clear."

"He won't return, at least tonight… you'll be Expelled!" Su Peixian smiled mysteriously.

Su Yang examined closely and found that although her face was covered with blood, her body showed no fatal wounds.

Could it be…

Zhu Xiang slipped up?

"Impossible; Zhu Xiang can Immunity any targeted Innate Talent, and Su Peixian's flesh strength is far inferior, so any outcome would be a disastrous defeat," Su Yang thought.

But…

Sitting in front of him now is Su Peixian.

Zhu Xiang was nowhere to be found.

"The progress is really fast; in just one day, only the four of us remain." Su Peixian shoved the remaining eggs in the bowl all into her Mouth, mumbling unclearly:

"Su Yang, I advise you to go find the so‑called Safe Zone now, or after tonight we'll lose another person."

"I only advise you because you're handsome; for anyone else I wouldn't even bother."

Su Yang's Brow twitched slightly; the development of events was vastly different from what he had imagined.

In his view, Zhu Xiang's threat was far greater than Su Peixian's.

But she had a way to survive a desperate situation; did that mean she actually possessed unknown abilities?

Thinking of this, Su Yang's Brain couldn't help recalling the scene of her using her Innate Talent.

A Scale, left and right weights.

The victor would obtain a Slave.

It should have been a very cheeky Innate Talent, yet it had no effect on Zhu Xiang; how did she win then?

And also…

She swore solemnly that Zhu Xiang wouldn't return tonight; does that mean he actually isn't dead?

"Since there's still time, let's set off quickly; if we're late it'll be dangerous." Su Peixian gave a 'kind' Reminder.

Su Yang glanced at Dong Qianqing, who gave a slight nod.

He then opened the door and strode forward.

"Su Yang, where are you going?" Cao An, seeing this, suddenly panicked and hurried after them.

"Cao An!" Dong Qianqing called out.

"Let him go; a fool who can't complete the Task anyway will be Expulsion'd." Su Peixian said.

"Should… there be no trouble, right?" Dong Qianqing murmured.

Su Peixian looked at the two Silhouettes under the sunset, gave a cold laugh: "There's no such thing as a Safe Zone."

"You even believe a fool's words; you're even dumber than a fool!"
