Chapter 37 I Live with You
Qiao Susu did not avoid this question because Zong Fang's personality is extremely selfish. Unless he is willing to actively accept cognition beyond his own logic, no one can change his mind at all. So Qiao Susu knew that no matter how she explained, it would be useless.
She weighed her words, trying to decide what to say to change the situation. Little did she know that this expression of hers was tacit agreement in Zongfang's eyes. He looked at her long, curled eyelashes, drooping, wet with tears, her small, palm-sized face pale, save for her lips, which were rosy and translucent. It was obvious that she had been bullied. He only glanced at her, and he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, a tight pain in his lower body.
"I lied to you." She raised her eyes and looked directly at the person in front of her, "Have you ever thought about why I am like this?"
Zongfang frowned, stared at her and said, "What do you want to say?"
"You forcibly abducted me and brought me to a completely unfamiliar environment. You and your assistants studied me all day long. Have you ever thought about how I felt?"
Zong Fang remained silent, his expression showing no change, but he was actually a little shaken by her words.
He recalled the time when he had just locked her up. There had indeed been some disagreements between the two of them, but hadn't he gradually compromised in the end? He did everything she wanted except letting her go free.
However, Zong Fang could not understand that what Qiao Susu wanted most was freedom.
"My world is limited to the floor you built for me. Apart from you and your assistant, I can't see anyone else, make friends, let alone live a normal life."
Hearing this, Zongfang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Who do you want to see?"
"It's not about meeting someone, it's about building my own social connections. I don't have any family anymore, and I need teachers and friends. A relationship like the one you have with your assistants, not too far, not too close is also good. I'm a person, and I need normal interactions. You just lock me up, and I really can't stand this kind of life."
She finished her words in one breath, becoming increasingly excited and panting slightly. Zong Fang looked at her serious expression and found her more and more adorable. Her reminder reminded him that Qiao Sui Sui was a human, unlike the artificial females in the interstellar space.
The females here are used to being kept in captivity, and they accept this way of being 'loved.' But Qiao Suisui is not like that; she sees it as a form of deprivation.
At this point, Munakata finally figured out what was standing between them.
"Do you like it here?"
"What?" His nonsensical question confused Qiao Suisui. She heard the man ask again, "Do you like Auslan? Do you like this building?"
"Yeah. There are people I know here, and the building can be decorated to my liking."
Zongfang held her on his lap, smoothed her messy long hair, and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingers.
"Then live here."
Qiao Susu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Does that make sense?
"The premise is that I become your first spouse."
?
The man made his own decision: "I'll move in with you."
? ?
Who said yes? This is her house!
Qiao Suisui was a little anxious, but she knew she couldn't say what was in her heart, so she said tactfully, "You still have a lot of important research to do at Sote, so business is more important."
"Running in both directions won't cause any trouble."
“.”
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Zong Fang raised his hand and tapped her forehead.
"I don't live here for nothing."
After he finished speaking, he opened his palm, and Qiao Susu saw that a mini cube suddenly appeared on the empty hand, emitting a faint silver light.
"This is?"
Zong Fang took her hand and brought it to his lips, biting her index finger with his venomous teeth. Qiao Suishou flinched at the suddenness of his move. His tongue then entwined with her white fingertips. Her silver eyes darkened as she stared at him intently, the teasing in them evident as she licked her fingers in response.
Seeing Qiao Susu pull her hand back, he didn't get angry. He pinched her index finger and squeezed a drop of blood onto the cube.
In an instant, a dazzling white light made Qiao Susu lose all vision.
The next second, she found herself in a vast space.
"Is this a mobile space?"
Zongfang said "hmm" lazily, took her hand and led her to a group of containers.
"See which one you like and take it."
Qiao Suisui's eyes widened with curiosity, speechless with surprise. Then she thought, could it be that Zongfang had suddenly disappeared with the cub that day at the Imperial Court? He had hidden in this dimension, then returned to the real world when no one was around. That would explain why Luka's forces hadn't been able to find him after searching for so long.
Did that mean her cubs were here too?
Thinking of this, she tilted her head to look at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Zong Fang knew what she wanted to ask, and without even raising his eyelids, he said, "The little one isn't here, so don't waste your energy."
After saying this, he saw her disappointed eyes, pursed his lips, and continued: "As long as you stay by my side honestly, I won't let anything happen to her."
Qiao Susu knew that Zaizai was his tool to threaten her, and it would definitely not be so easy to get him to hand him over, so she forced herself not to think about it anymore.
Zong Fang took her on a tour. In the container were military supplies, daily necessities, mountains of star coins, and various scarce and expensive medicinal raw materials on the market. It seemed that he usually stockpiled them for research.
Among the various objects, Qiao Suisui noticed a shiny stone. She picked it up gently and shook it in her hand. It was not heavy, a bit like crystal rock, but transparent.
"What's this for?"
Zong Fang looked at the thing in her hand, the darkness in his eyes deepened a bit, and he said indifferently: "Spiritual power stone, it's useless."
It is useless for a 3S like him, but for someone like Qiao Susu who hasn't even awakened her mental power, it is simply a cheat.
Although Zong Fang described this item as cheap, she had once read about it while bored and browsing the Nebula. Mental Power Ore is extremely rare, only one piece is produced every few hundred star years, and it can help orcs increase their mental power. There's a post dedicated to trading Mental Power Ore, where even a small scrap can fetch hundreds of millions of star coins, and many low-level orcs even go to the black market to find sellers.
If... she could use the Spiritual Power Stone to awaken her Spiritual Power, not needing to be particularly high-level, but at least not being controlled by others everywhere, how wonderful it would be...
Seeing that she was a little excited, Zong Fang's face darkened and the words he said were neither positive nor negative.
"If you're planning to give this to your useless blind boy, I advise you to save your money. This thing is against federal regulations. If your little blind boy uses it, he'll be immediately expelled from the federation. Then, forget about being a noble royal, he'll be slaughtered and bloodied by the orcs of the Wandering Alliance. A male fused with a Spiritual Power Gem is the best nutrient, saving him the trouble of refining."
