Chapter 399 Selective Deafness
It's also possible that there's something wrong with her body, but she's afraid to get it checked.
All of the Empire's pregnancy testing facilities should be connected to the gene bank.
Interstellar inhabitants have difficulty getting pregnant, so they don't use contraception at all; even birth control pill manufacturers have gone bankrupt.
She and Si Yuting were in this situation before; they usually did whatever they wanted.
But she wasn't going to tell him her guess for the time being. Fertility was too sensitive for Si Yuting, and even if she said she didn't mind, he would still feel indebted to her.
Before things are confirmed, let's not give him false hope.
When did Si Yuting become capable of having children?
Qu Tong placed her hand on Si Yuting's large palm and channeled her spiritual energy into Si Yuting's body.
This can also have a therapeutic effect, but it is less effective than directly entering the mental sea.
"Honey, let's get a check-up when we get back," Qu Tong said.
“Okay, I’ll go back to Abel Star to do it when I have time.” Si Yuting intertwined his fingers with Qu Tong’s, their fingers clasped together. “Your husband isn’t that weak, don’t worry.”
Qu Tong didn't explain, only giving a muffled "hmm".
Actually, she doesn't want to have children so early. Her body is only 20 years old at most, and to be honest, she thinks it's a bit too early.
But Si Yuting would probably like it.
Although he never showed much affection for children, she could sense it.
As she pondered these thoughts, drowsiness overcame her, and Qu Tong quickly drifted off to sleep.
Si Yuting, sitting next to him, couldn't fall asleep as easily. A faint fragrance enveloped him, reminding him that he should sleep, but his body was still full of energy.
"Mmm~" The girl in her sleep seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably, making soft murmurs. She twisted her waist to break free from the tightly clasped hands, scooped up the little dinosaur to the inside of the bed, hugged it in her arms, and took away Si Yuting's blanket in the process, before finally snuggling back into sleep with satisfaction.
Si Yuting's gaze swept over Qu Tong's soft head, and he scolded her angrily, "You little rascal."
When Qu Tong woke up the next day, she looked at the little dinosaur on the ground and fell into deep thought...
The slippers were neatly arranged beside the bed, the clothes she had casually draped over the chair were folded and placed on the bedside table, the desk was also tidied up, and the vase of Langarous had been enhanced with a few more blades of grass, making it more visually appealing.
Qu Tong bent down, scooped up the little dinosaur, hesitated for a moment, and placed it on the hanging basket.
Her villa didn't have a dedicated training room, so Si Yuting would do his morning exercises in the open space in the yard.
Under the grape trellis nearby, old Yuan lay on a recliner, muttering to himself with a disdainful expression.
The gist of it is that men should have substance; what's the use of just working out? My girl isn't that superficial.
Si Yuting remained expressionless, completely unaffected.
Qu Tong walked over with amusement and gently advised Old Man Yuan to calm down: "His hearing isn't good, you should rest for a while."
Old Yuan indeed shut up, and looked at Si Yuting suspiciously: "I never noticed before."
"Selective deafness." Qu Tong took a grape from Old Yuan's fruit plate and peeled it.
Old Yuan: "..."
Si Yuting glanced at her.
Qu Tong raised an eyebrow at him with a charming air and put the glistening grape pulp into her mouth.
Si Yuting silently withdrew his gaze.
Qu Tong smiled with delight.
You little rascal.
Old Yuan threw the grape, skin and all, into his mouth and chewed it.

Qu Tong's aircraft was not as fast as Si Yuting's, and it was already the next morning when they arrived at the capital planet.
Upon receiving Cheng Feng's message, Si Yuting went straight to work without even taking a break, glancing at Old Man Yuan before leaving.
"What did you do?" Qu Tong looked at Old Man Yuan in confusion.
Old Yuan gave a sly smile, "It's nothing..."
Then Old Yuan revealed in detail how he obtained advance funds from Emperor Changxin, how he spread rumors online, and how he taught himself to operate and guide public opinion.
Originally, the Zerg's capture of apothecaries had little to do with the Lan family; it was just that the Apothecary Guild had a large number of senior apothecaries, so naturally there were more victims.
Old Yuan didn't care about anything else and simply put the chamber pot firmly on top.
The pharmacists in the Pharmacists' Guild were already divided, and Old Man Yuan's actions made them even more anxious, making it impossible for them to concentrate on preparing potions.
Last night, the situation that Lan Weiying had finally managed to stabilize rebounded again, with several senior pharmacists preferring to pay breach of contract penalties rather than terminate their contracts with the Pharmacist Guild.
Compared to profit, life is of course more important.
This also increased the workload for Si Yuting and his team.
Although an agreement had been reached with Cyprus, they wouldn't sit idly by. Si Yuting had already sent the magnet to Cheng Feng, instructing him to investigate the pharmacist's matter first.
The SS-class Zerg that can hide in the crowd are not stupid. After Cheng Feng and Wen You led their men to capture two of them, they did not dare to show their faces again. Occasionally, other Zerg would run out and cause trouble, but the local security forces could handle it.
Qu Tong suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to ask a question.
What is the purpose of the Zerg summoning apothecaries?
Previously, it was speculated that consuming alchemists could increase the strength of the Zerg, but this view was eventually overturned by the military.
If it could truly increase their strength, why wouldn't the Zerg simply devour them instead of going to such lengths to get rid of them?
The Zerg can't possibly want to keep the apothecaries captive, can they? That's clearly not in line with the Zerg's style.
Fortunately, Qu Tong had a Cypriot optical computer with him when he left, so he could directly make a communication call.
Cyprus scoffed, "Them? They don't even deserve it!"
"Sister, you don't know, do you? The potions we get from you are only for females. The potions and the pharmacists have only one important function: to help female insects produce offspring with better physiques. This was discovered by accident in recent years."
"Sister, do you remember me telling you that the Zerg previously had three SSS-level Zerg? Besides me, there was also a first-generation Zerg, a female. The alchemist who went missing this time probably ended up in her stomach."
"The difference between a pharmacist and a potion is probably like the difference between a chicken and an egg. However, the egg is only the size of a quail egg, but your potion is different, sister."
As for what's different, Cyprus didn't say, but considering what happened to Cyprus before, Qu Tong could probably guess.
Fortunately, the potions traded with the Zerg were all prepared by Old Man Yuan.
The military naturally handed over the batch from the Lan family, which had relatively weaker medicinal effects.
It seems we need to be more careful next time. We should try not to use her potions to trade with the Zerg, and we also need to make things clear to Gong Yun.
However, what Qu Tong didn't know was that the energy in her potions, energy fruits and vegetables, and green wood could only be absorbed by the first-generation Zerg who had reached a certain level.
Just like Cyprus's healing ability, which was only possessed by the original Zerg.
The Queen was also one of the first Zerg to awaken.
Qu Tong hung up the call, and Old Yuan raised his personal terminal. "The Fang family wants to invite us to dinner. Shall we go?"
Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did you get in touch with the Fang family?"
