I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 72: Mysterious Youth
Qiao Suisui's center of gravity was unstable, and she involuntarily took two steps backward due to inertia, but Zong Fang, who had been standing by her side, quickly and steadily supported her.
Ruka furrowed his brows and stood protectively in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the two men had shielded Qiao Suisui so tightly that not even air could pass through.
Secretary Ah Jin spoke disapprovingly, "How can you be so reckless? Which class are you from?"
The boy lowered his hat brim, paused for a moment, and said softly, 'Sorry,' then left with his hands in his pockets. Qiao Suisui turned her head to look at him, noticing that the boy was wearing a loose and oversized uniform that seemed ill-fitting. As he walked past her, their eyes met briefly in mid-air before he quickly looked away, moving as swiftly as his steps.

Ah Jin, finding the student's behavior strange and suspicious, wanted to follow him but had more pressing matters to attend to, so he let it go.
Ruka and Zong Fang exchanged a look discreetly.
Two SSS-grade males had failed to detect the presence of this boy...
Ruka felt uneasy and wanted to convince Suisui to go back, but seeing her curious and expectant eyes, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to disappoint her and said nothing, only continuing to walk forward, holding her hand.
Seeing his action, Zong Fang felt displeased but knew it was not the time to react. Not wanting to appear weak, he grabbed her other hand and walked forward with them. Qiao Suisui, caught in the middle, was like a kindergarten child being led to school by her parents.
The four of them arrived at the door of the VIP room, and Ah Jin respectfully knocked twice before leading the three inside.
The VIP room was not lavishly decorated but was very traditional instead. The furniture was made of solid wood, with countless growth rings visible, clearly of great value. There were two teacups on the table, both undisturbed.
Before the vast French windows, a middle-aged man who had been standing with his back to them turned around, and on seeing Ruka and Zong Fang behind him, the small figure slowly broke into a smile.
"Welcome. It seems our Interstellar Strategy Academy is about to welcome its first female student."
Before coming, Ruka had already explained their intentions to Dr. Li and several other principals, so Suisui's identity was only known to the core members of the school.
Qiao Suisui reached up to remove her cloak's hood, revealing her small, palm-sized face. She politely bowed to Dr. Li and said, "It is my honor."
"While we welcome you, the rules must be followed. If you can pass the test, from today onward you will officially be a member of AOIS."
AOIS stands for Academy of Interstellar Strategy, and those four letters represent a unique and supreme honor. To the students who graduated from AOIS, those simple four letters felt incredibly glorious and proud.
Zong Fang was the first to express his displeasure, "What is this, wasn't it supposed to be admission without examination?"
Ruka was more composed, but he too spoke up, saying lightly, "Dr. Li, this is not what we agreed on."
Dr. Li just smiled with his hands behind his back, noncommittal. Standing to one side, Ah Jin said, "Miss Qiao can consider it."
The implication was that there was no room for negotiation.
Zong Fang, although reluctant to let her travel so far for school, was irked that these people appeared to be picking and choosing like this. What was there to test? Attending their school was already a favor.
He was about to speak but saw Suisui already nodding obediently, her face set with determination.
"Hmm, I understand, and I can take the test. If the result isn't ideal, at least I tried," she said.
Zong Fang looked at the earnestness emanating from the back of her head and couldn't help but smile, the fire that had just risen within him extinguished.
"What exactly does the test involve?" Ruka asked.
Dr. Li said, "In three days, there will be a new batch of entrance exams held in the auditorium."
Qiao Suisui understood Dr. Li knew she wanted to enroll as a male; he was providing her a fair and normal competitive opportunity.
She gave a grateful smile, her eyes twinkling with fragmented light.
"Good, I will definitely come in three days."
-
Three days later.
In the auditorium of the Interstellar Strategy Academy, the crowd was bustling. A frail and thin boy squeezed his way through a group of tall and burly males, trying to find a somewhat more spacious place to stand.
But everyone was moving forward, eager to get a clear view of the person about to take the stage. The little boy had no choice but to go along with the crowd, but he lost his balance and took a step back, leaning against a sturdy chest and inadvertently stepping on the person's foot.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Qiao Suisui quickly turned around to apologize but met Anubis's gaze looking down at her when she turned, and both were caught off guard.
After annihilating the aliens, Anubis had become a wanted fugitive by the Federation due to his use of spiritual power. Despite numerous fruitless attempts to capture him, he had not let down his guard; he knew he couldn't truly go find his father, as it would only lead the Federation to them, potentially causing the destruction of him, his father, and the Wandering Beastmen. Thus, he had sought out Li Arang, and with his help, become an inconspicuous newcomer at AOIS.
Since using spiritual power again would surely get him tracked, Li had blocked his spiritual power. This was why, when he met Li and left that day, he crashed, unprepared, into Qiao Suisui who had just turned the corner.
The Wolf Clan had the keenest sense of smell among all Beastmen, and although something had masked it to almost imperceptible levels, he still, in the unexpected collision, caught a faint, indescribable scent. Now, this delicately handsome boy in front of him bore the same scent.
At that time, Anubis had only seen a person covered from head to toe in a cloak and couldn't make out Qiao Suisui's appearance and gender, only knowing she was accompanied by two triple-S-ranked powerhouses and thus her identity must be no simple matter.
In fact, Qiao Suisui's disguise was indeed impeccable.
She first exchanged 400 points for a Fertility Bag, then obtained an Illusion Pill from the System, which could completely alter her appearance to any desired look.
[Host, please note that the Illusion Pill is time-sensitive, each pill can only last for 12 hours before it automatically expires.]
Qiao Suisui tested the effects of the Illusion Pill; by ingesting it and imagining the appearance she wanted to become, when she opened her eyes, the mirror reflected a boy with short hair and black pupils, though his facial structure and features were still hers, but the contours had become more defined, stripping away feminine softness. The boy in the mirror was frail and delicate, paper-thin and pale-skinned, overall delicate and well-behaved. She pushed back the wispy hair from her forehead, revealing a pair of dewy eyes, deer-like. She had tried several times but couldn't change her eyes, so she let it be. Likewise unchanged were her height.
Strangely enough, every time she looked down at herself, she still saw her original figure, but as soon as she looked into the mirror, it reflected a handsome boy with even an Adam's apple.
She had individually tested Sang Yan, Gai Meilun, and Ah Yao, and except for Sang Yan, the other two failed to recognize her.
