I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 138 Candor

Especially when using him to threaten her.

Anubis would never allow such a situation to arise.

In fact, when Anubis had just left the Interstellar Strategy Academy, he keenly sensed someone following him. At first, he speculated that the Scavenger had found him, but he quickly realized the person was not from the Scavenger.

He had clashed with the Scavenger's people several times and was well aware of their style. Every member of that organization was well-trained and decisive in killing. Once targeted, they would not give him a sliver of a chance to live. However, the person who had been trailing him made no move even when Anubis deliberately exposed parts of his body that could be instantly fatal if hit.

So Anubis pretended not to notice and continued to lead the person to a deserted alley.

As expected, the assailant made a move; they tried to shoot him with a tranquillizer dart and make him lose consciousness.

But Anubis had been intentionally subjected to various poisons training by his father since childhood. So he could remain conscious even under anesthesia and recover his bodily functions faster than a typical Beastman.

He feigned collapsing, seemingly at the mercy of others, while secretly listening to every move the pursuer made. Until he heard a female voice... Anubis could no longer afford to use himself as bait to figure out the group's intentions; he couldn't allow himself to become leverage for others to threaten her.

At that moment, Anubis's hand had already pierced through Wei Shou's chest.

Wei Shou's eyes widened sharply, and with a "thud", he fell to his knees, trying to speak but instead spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then he breathed his last.

Standing across from Qiao Suisui, Anubis held a still-beating heart in his hand.

His hand was drenched in blood, his sharp claws slowly retracting, and the heavy heart was discarded next to Wei Shou's corpse.

The darkness, like a receding tide, gradually faded, and Anubis walked towards Qiao Suisui but stopped a few steps away from her, hiding his blood-stained hand behind his back.

The boy who had been slaughtering bloodthirstily just a second ago, was visibly tense the next second.

Anubis looked at the girl in front of him... She was different from the last time they met, her long hair smooth as satin draped over her back, and a few stray tendrils resting on her slim shoulders. Her face was the size of a palm, her features delicate, her skin fair and radiant. At that moment, whether from fright or cold, her nose and cheeks were tinged with red, like a ripe peach, dewy, enticing one's thoughts to wander with just a glance.

"I... I scared you..." Anubis was so nervous he was at a loss.

In truth, the flush on Qiao Suisui's face was because she didn't know where to look right now.

When she had just broken free from the van seat, Anubis's shirt had been torn open, and after the fight, his upper body was now bare. His shoulders were broad, his waist narrow, and the muscles of his abdomen were clearly defined, especially with blood spatters across his chest and face, adding a different kind of allure to his inverted-triangle figure.

She forced herself to refocus, glanced elsewhere, and said seriously, "We shouldn't stay here long. Let's find another place to talk."

Little did she know, this pretense in Anubis's eyes was confirmation that her thoughts were running wild—

She saw me kill someone.

I'm done for.

She's colder to me than before.

The youth hung his head low, uttering a dejected "hmm" and followed behind Qiao Suisui in silence, like a stray dog by the roadside following someone home after being fed.

The two of them went down along the embankment and hid in a bridge hollow.

Below the bridge was a swiftly flowing river, and combined with the bridge's arched construction, the sound of flowing water echoed throughout the hollow.

Anubis used the river to wash his hands, the bright red blood diffusing into the churning water and flowing away.

After cleaning up, he didn't dare approach Qiao Suisui again but sat down five steps away from her.

"People from the Scavenger could very likely find me soon. Staying with me is very dangerous," Anubis's voice was deep, drowned out by the magnified sound of water, making it difficult for Qiao Suisui to hear him clearly.

She simply stood up and walked over to him, crouched down beside him, tilted her head, and asked, "What did you say?"

The scent of Lily of the Valley suddenly rushed to his face, making Anubis's heart skip a beat. His Adam's apple bobbed, and looking at the person in front of him, his breathing tightened.

"I... I'm saying, being with me will be very dangerous,"

"I'm not afraid of danger,"

The young man was taken aback and saw his own reflection in her obsidian-like eyes, the emotions he had been desperately suppressing for so long could no longer be contained.

His eyelashes trembled, like the quivering wings of a butterfly. After several deep breaths, Anubis struggled to speak:

"Qiao, my father is in the Rebel Army, I am a person who cannot stand in the light. I lied to you..."

The last sentence remained unspoken.

He knew she was not his moon, but there were moments when the moonlight truly shone upon him.

He didn't want much, just to see her true self was enough. They belonged to separate paths, and he couldn't selfishly ask her to accompany him on the most adventurous one. Moreover, there were so many outstanding people by her side...

Anubis's mouth was full of bitterness, his heart ached sharply, his mouth open but unable to say a word.

"I know,"

A crisp sentence directly stunned the young man.

Qiao Suisui looked at his rare dazed appearance and softly laughed.

"I also know that your name is Anubis Connor, and your father is a good man,"

In an instant, Anubis's eyes filled with sourness. He lost his ability to speak, with only a torrent of overwhelming love left, like the rapid river beside them, surging through the tip of his heart.

"Since we agreed last time to speak the truth, I will tell you my secret too." Qiao Suisui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I do not belong here."

"What do you mean?" asked Anubis.

"I come from another world," said Qiao Suisui.

Anubis already knew of her identity as an Ancient Human, but had not yet seen her face. Thinking that her reference to another world meant the world of Ancient Humans, he nodded and said, "I know. I will protect you."

You still do not know, Qiao Suisui said to herself.

The two sat side by side on the ground, their hands touching each other unintentionally. When they brushed against each other, both turned their faces to the other side as if they had been shocked by electricity, but their hands remained unmoved.

Although the sound of water echoed throughout the entire bridge tunnel, they could still hear their own heartbeats.

Anubis turned his face back first, and seriously looked at Qiao Suisui, thanking her with a voice that trembled slightly due to his sincerity.

Qiao Suisui looked at him, "Thank for what?"

"Thank you for believing my father is a good man," his eyes slightly red.

"You grew up untwisted despite being surrounded by stigmas; instead, you grew wildly amidst thorns, you are the best proof of your father,"

Thinking of the man who was the only one on the deserted island who, despite hunger, did not eat his companion and carried his brother on his back to survive against all odds, she felt nothing but immense admiration.

She placed her hand into Anubis's palm, fingers interlocking, conveying a very firm strength.

"Let's go to the Southern Battlefield, uncover the truth of what happened that year, and seek justice for you and your father, and for those who were wrongfully accused and sacrificed without cause."
