Chapter 173 -173: The Dragon’s New Bride
Leberli and Ruka were temporarily unable to leave their responsibilities, so they could only follow later once they had finished handling their current affairs. Zong Fang would never leave her side no matter what, so there was no suspense that he would definitely take her with him. The Freedom Alliance was outside of Leberli’s domain, and he had to send someone ahead of time to make arrangements. With Sang Yan there, it would be much easier, considering it was where he had grown up, so Sang Yan would also go with Qiao Suisui. As for Carl, there was even less to say; wherever he went, it was very convenient. On top of that, since he had disappeared without a reason, he was now being wanted by the Scavengers. Fortunately, he had already transferred his assets to Qiao Suisui without leaving a trace.
“Sikoses, what are you thinking about?” Leberli asked, noticing Ruka was somewhat distracted.
“I’m worried she might not be willing to leave,” Ruka said.

Carl said in confusion, “That can’t be, just tell her to go there to have the ceremony and take a break at the same time.”
Zong Fang said, “Anubis’s whereabouts have always been unknown. She doesn’t say it, but she hasn’t been sleeping well at night recently because of this. Now asking her to leave, she might not be willing.”
Ruka nodded.
After pondering for a while, Leberli asked, “There’s still no news up until now; is it possible the Federation has…”
Ruka stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing. He closed the door, lit a cigarette, and said, “Actually, there was news a couple of days ago. The Federation captured a group of people, but where they’re being held is unknown. However, according to one of my infiltrators, the place where they’re being confined is highly confidential, and the defense system is very advanced.”
Zong Fang frowned, exchanging a glance with Carl, both of them saying at the same time, “Could it be that they’ve started experimenting again?”
Leberli looked serious and nodded, “I can’t reach the core higher-ups of the Federation, but I’ve probed some of their subordinates. They’ve been researching a potion to cure the Beastman’s frenzy lately.”
“If he’s been captured, he would be the perfect subject for the Federation,” Zong Fang said coldly.
Carl asked, “Why?”
“Because the frenzied gene in his body was sorted out by my blood. The Federation must be very curious about what changed him.”
Carl started speaking and then stopped, his face forming a troubled frown, already knowing the answer in his heart. “So the kid is in great danger? Then should we tell Suisui…”
“She’s pregnant now, not feeling well, do you want her to be constantly anxious?” Leberli crossed his arms and firmly said, “Sikoses and I will monitor the situation from here. If there’s a chance, we will act to rescue Anubis. But nobody can be certain about this matter; he might already be dead, or even if rescued, he could be disabled. If we’re lucky, we could return Anubis to her as he was before, but you know how slim that chance is. If you think we should tell her now, make your stand.”
Zong Fang remained just as cold as ever. Except for matters related to Qiao Suisui, he was generally indifferent. If he hadn’t been worried that she might blame him for not helping Anubis, Zong Fang wouldn’t even want to interfere. “I won’t say anything.”
Carl scratched the place where his eyebrow piercing was, apologetically smiled, and spread his hands, “I don’t know anything; I’m just an unemployed snow leopard.”
Meaning, he wouldn’t say anything either.
Leberli then looked towards Ruka, noticing the cigarette between his fingers had reached its end, its ashes falling onto the table, and yet he had only taken one puff from start to finish. Leberli asked again, “Sikoses, what about you?”
After deep thought, Ruka pressed the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and said, “You guys go ahead and take her to the Freedom Alliance. Wait until she feels a bit better before breaking it to her gently.”
“So, that means not telling her,” Leberli concluded.
Ruka’s expression was complicated, his face showing a struggle, but he eventually did not counter Leberli’s summary. Thus, the four men reached an agreement, deciding not to inform her of the cruel fate that Anubis was very likely to have suffered.
While the four men were discussing in the conference room, on the other side, Sang Yan was staying by Qiao Suisui’s side.
The man who had been sitting on the chair by the bed saw her wake up and immediately came forward to help her prop up the pillow under her waist, and placed two more behind her back and neck so she could lean back comfortably.
“Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Qiao Suisui rubbed her eyes and said, “I feel much better now, thank you.”
Sang Yan handed her a cup of warm water, and after seeing her drink it, he asked, “Do you often say thank you to the others as well?”
Qiao Suisui was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding, and answered, “Not with them.”
Sang Yan lowered his eyes and, after a few seconds, ‘Hmm’ed.”
Seeing the man’s somewhat disappointed expression, Qiao Suisui pursed her lips and, taking hold of the hem of his clothing, asked, “If you don’t like it, can I express my gratitude in a different way next time?”
Sang Yan looked at her intently and asked, “Like what?”
He watched her tilt her head and ponder earnestly, her bright, sparkling eyes adding a touch of playfulness to her. Sang Yan couldn’t help but recall the heartbeat he felt the first day he saw her; she was pregnant then too, hiding behind the door and sizing him up with those pretty eyes.
“I’ve got it!” Qiao Suisui got out of bed after lifting the covers, and Sang Yan hurriedly supported her. She was wearing a floor-length dress that day, and Sang Yan, worried she might trip, held up the hem for her from behind.
Qiao Suisui rummaged through her vanity and pulled out several necklaces, all gifts from other member states meant to signify friendship, including emeralds, rubies, and in short, a variety of sparkling things.
She held them in a full embrace and, smiling at Sang Yan, said, “I saw that your chest is full of gems; you like collecting these, right? From now on, when I want to thank you, I’ll give you a gemstone!”
Sang Yan looked at the shiny gemstones, feeling that they couldn’t compare to the brightness of her eyes at that moment.
He took a step forward, unable to resist gently taking her wrist, and asked, “Do you know what it means to give these things to the Dragon Clan?”
“What?”
Sang Yan’s adam’s apple bobbed; his eyes conveyed a flustered seriousness. As his fingertips touched her skin, he couldn’t help but gently caress her.
The Dragon Clan, an ancient race that had guarded the Beast God for generations, had always domineered over the territory of the Freedom Alliance. The birth of each dragon was exceedingly precious, symbolizing the continuation of the legacy of the Envoy of the Beast God. As Envoys, dragons not only protected the Beast God but also guarded the faith. Thus, the local residents also greatly respected the Dragon Clan, and each year, they would offer newly hatched females to them.
The ritual of offering involved the female lying in a flower boat, with a gemstone in her mouth. Since gemstones were rare and expensive, something not easily obtained by ordinary families, it also represented the resolution of the intention, signifying that she was willing to become the bride of a dragon.
Qiao Suisui did not know about this custom and, of course, was also unaware that her act of holding an embrace full of gemstones amounted to a marriage proposal to Sang Yan.
Sang Yan was aware of this. He suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, slowly withdrew his hand, and, with lingering affection, caressed the warmth of her body with his fingertips.
He shouldn’t hope for more.
As long as she was well, as long as she was happy, nothing else mattered.
Sang Yan composed himself and said with a smile, “It means that the dragon will grant your wish. You have so many gemstones; it looks like I can fulfill many of your wishes.”
