Chapter 34: Big Trouble! Youke’en’s Phantom Pregnancy p2
Listening to Feng Qizhou’s grand reasoning, Xue Yu thought it made sense and signed her name on the medical record card.
Then, Feng Qizhou locked the clinic door and took Xue Yu to the lounge inside. Xue Xiaobei was still sleeping in the temperature-controlled box.
Feng Qizhou picked up the baby and woke her up. “Xiaobei, look who’s here. It’s Mommy. Mommy is here to see you.”
The baby’s little face wrinkled, and she started crying loudly. When she saw Xue Yu, she broke into a smile.
Xue Yu took the baby and held her in her arms. “Xiaobei, Mommy is here. You’ve worked hard. You have to grow up quickly.”
Feng Qizhou put his hand on Xue Yu’s shoulder. “Don’t we look like a happy family of three?”
Xue Yu: “We are a happy family.”
A smile appeared on Feng Qizhou’s lips. “Love me more in the future. I’ll have many, many children for you, okay?”
Xue Yu’s head was about to explode. “I have so many children already. You still want to have more?”
Feng Qizhou: “You don’t have to raise them after they’re born. You can go out and have fun, and then come home to a husband, children, and a warm bed. What’s not to like?”
Xue Yu squinted at him. “I’ve discovered that you, a conservative, are not conservative at all.”
“I was never a conservative person to begin with. I joined the conservatives for promotion.”
He nuzzled against Xue Yu’s ear. “I think this is a very exciting thing. To be covered in a layer of conservative skin, but underneath is a restless body that has been knocked up by a woman. The thought of it is the ultimate romance.”
His fingers danced on Xue Yu’s arm, as if playing the piano.
“This morning, there was a meeting of the extreme sexual conservatives. Both Zhou Siyan and I went.”
“We were all wearing black suits, black ties, and black leather shoes, our hair neat and tidy.”
“We sat at a round table and recited the conservative oath. At that moment, I thought it was very romantic. As I recited the oath, vowing to remain chaste forever, I was also stroking the belly that you had knocked up. That feeling was truly sacred.”
Xue Yu’s back stiffened, her scalp tingling. She showed a look of contempt. “Ew…”
Feng Qizhou tapped her on her smooth forehead. “What’s with that expression?”
Xue Yu: “You’re so kinky.”
Feng Qizhou was not happy. He glared at her and tapped her on the forehead again. “Why are you so unromantic? You just turn a deaf ear to what I say?”
Xue Yu rubbed the spot he had tapped. “I’m not turning a deaf ear. I’m listening very carefully.”
Feng Qizhou: “And then?”
Xue Yu was frank and smiled. “And then I just think you’re so kinky.”
Feng Qizhou touched the baby’s face, stood up, and walked out of the lounge. He took out a bag of supplements. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed back into the ascetic, refined, and cold Deputy Director Feng.
He brought the supplements back to the lounge and handed them to Xue Yu. “These are all medicines to improve your reflexes and speed. They taste similar to ordinary energy supplements. The instructions are inside. Take them as directed. Don’t take too much at once.”
Xue Yu held Xue Xiaobei with one hand and took the bag with the other. “What happens if I take too much at once?”
Feng Qizhou: “You will enter an estrus period.”
Xue Yu was unconcerned. “Don’t worry about that. I don’t usually go into estrus.”
Feng Qizhou: “Don’t take it lightly. If you really go into estrus and there’s no one to help you, you’ll know how uncomfortable it is.”
Xue Yu: “Oh.”
She stayed with Xue Xiaobei for another ten minutes.
Xue Yu left with her medical record card and the supplements Feng Qizhou had given her.
She had wanted to see Xue Xiaohai before returning to the training grounds dorm, but when she reached the residential area on the 102nd floor, she saw the deputy director of the Security Division talking to Zhou Siyan, so she had to slip away.
When she returned to the dorm, Xue Yu drank a dose of the supplement Feng Qizhou had given her and felt completely relaxed.
She lay on the bed with Blueberry in her arms and checked the data of the reproduction tree.
Number one crystal fruit:
Child’s height +0.031cm, mother’s stamina +8;
Child’s weight +0.022kg, mother’s strength +12;
Child’s crawling +65m, mother’s speed +109;
Child’s turning over 12 times, mother’s reflexes +52;
Xue Yu was so excited she punched the air. Good job, Xue Xiaohai! You’re really Mommy’s good daughter!
She then looked at the number two crystal fruit representing Xue Xiaobei.
It couldn’t compare to Xue Xiaohai, but it was still an improvement from yesterday.
Although the child still couldn’t turn over or crawl, her height and weight had increased significantly.
Xue Yu then looked at the overall data.
This morning, she had received a total of 230 points of spiritual power from the two children. She had had Blueberry release it all into her body.
Now, the two children had generated another 152 points of spiritual power. Xue Yu temporarily saved it for a rainy day.
After checking the data, she said goodnight to everyone in the group chat and then went to sleep.
At this moment, outside Xue Yu’s dorm, a tall, long-legged, silver-haired man stood at the door, his height and features like a sculpture in silhouette.
Youke’en couldn’t figure out how his spiritual landscape could not withstand Xue Yu’s invasion.
More accurately, it wasn’t that he couldn’t withstand it.
It was that as soon as Xue Yu was about to invade, his spiritual landscape would automatically lower its defenses and let Xue Yu in.
He couldn’t figure out what kind of move Xue Yu’s invasion was.
Xue Yu was a complete novice. There were no records of her in the White Tower’s combat database. He couldn’t even study her moves if he wanted to.
What kind of move could make him retch?
To be able to cause such a physiological reaction as retching, it had to be a dimensional-level attack.
When he had fought against Yan Wantang, Yan Wantang had completely destroyed his spiritual landscape, making him unable to summon his spirit body for a short period of time.
At that time, he had only felt weak and had not had the reaction of retching.
But now, Xue Yu had only invaded his spiritual landscape once.
It made him feel like his body was out of control, as if something had parasitized his landscape, making him feel uncomfortable everywhere, but he couldn’t find the reason.
Youke’en was not reconciled and returned to his own dorm.
He went into the bathroom, took a razor, and shaved off all his silver hair, including his eyebrows.
The best state for a water-type warrior was to be as smooth as a fish, without any hair, and even without a training suit, to enter the pool naked to achieve the best state.
He shaved his head, entered the bathtub naked, and scrubbed his body with a scrub to keep his skin smooth.
He clenched his fists and squinted at the metal plate in front of him.
How could I lose to Xue Yu?
It shouldn’t be. I must have been careless.
***
The next day, Xue Yu also woke up early before dawn and went to the training pool with Blueberry.
But she found that there was already movement in the water. Ripples were spreading across the surface.
Someone is even more hardworking than me?
Just as Xue Yu was wondering, with a splash, a bald man surfaced.
The man propped himself up on the edge of the pool, revealing his bare upper body without a training suit. His muscle lines were beautiful, his abs were well-defined, his waist was lean, and his skin was dazzlingly white under the streetlights.
Xue Yu looked for a moment before recognizing that this bald man was Youke’en.
He had shaved his hair and eyebrows. Because his features were so superior, his pair of deep green pupils were very striking, presenting a strange beauty.
“Sorry, I’m not wearing any clothes. I hope it doesn’t affect you,” Youke’en said in the water. “If you mind, I can stay in the water.”
Xue Yu smiled. “Then don’t come up.”
“Okay,” Youke’en’s deep green pupils moved slightly with Xue Yu’s movements. “You’re an open-minded person, right?”
Xue Yu held Blueberry and nodded. “Yes.”
Youke’en: “I’m also an open-minded person, but I’m still a virgin.”
Xue Yu didn’t reply, thinking to herself, I’m already a mother of two.
Youke’en: “Alright, I came here so early to wait for you. There’s no one here now. Can I have another trial match with you?”
Xue Yu: “Sure.”
“I want to unleash my full strength without any restrictions, so can I choose to fight naked?”
He tilted his head. “Of course, the choice is yours. If you want me to put on pants, I will.”
Xue Yu: “Whatever you want.”
Youke’en: “Then I choose not to.”
He pointed to the screen behind him. “I’ve set up the combat mode. If you’re willing, just press your fingerprint and then come and find me in the deep water area.”
With that, his body completely submerged in the water and disappeared.
Blueberry’s big, round eyes looked at Xue Yu: Let’s take off our clothes too, and unleash our full strength freely!
Xue Yu snorted coldly. Do you believe I’ll hit you!
Xue Yu went to the armory and still chose the familiar water-wave knife.
When she returned to the poolside, she had already changed into her training suit in the dorm. She gripped the knife and took a deep breath before jumping into the water.
This time, Youke’en probably wanted to turn the tables and also play the sneak attack game.
Xue Yu swam in the deep water for a few minutes but didn’t feel any movement from Youke’en.
Ten minutes later, a violent wave came from behind her. Xue Yu turned around, and Youke’en rushed towards her without any weapon.
Xue Yu gripped the water-wave knife and swung it. The water was very dark, so she could only see a hazy outline.
Youke’en easily dodged her attack, went behind her, pinched the back of her neck, and forcefully attacked her spiritual landscape.
Xue Yu also reached her hand back, also pinched the back of Youke’en’s neck, and also attacked his landscape.
The two of them were completely pressed together. Youke’en was wearing nothing.
But neither of them was affected by this. They were wholeheartedly focused on attacking each other’s spiritual landscapes.
Their spiritual powers fought against each other, and the water flow formed a huge whirlpool around them.
Xue Yu did not back down, and Youke’en did not back down either.
They were in a stalemate for nearly twenty minutes before Youke’en was the first to let go and withdraw from Xue Yu’s spiritual landscape.
Xue Yu regained the advantage. While Youke’en was in a daze, she continuously elbowed his abdomen and shoulder, and also hit him on the forehead, and then kicked his orca far away.
Youke’en did not resist at all, turned and fled, swimming upwards.
Xue Yu also came up and saw Youke’en leaning against the edge of the pool, clutching his chest and retching.
Xue Yu jumped out of the water, picked up a towel from the side, and came over to him. “Are you okay?”
Youke’en took the towel, wiped the water from his face, and wrapped the towel around his lower body before getting out of the water.
He walked to the large screen and pressed his fingerprint, saying softly, “I lost, Xue Yu.”
Xue Yu saw that her score had increased by 33 points and walked over. “Victory and defeat are common in battle. If you still want to have a training match, you can come and find me anytime.”
Xue Yu looked at his shiny bald head and found it very funny.
“I might need some time to adjust my mentality,” Youke’en touched his head. “When my hair grows back, I’ll come and find you.”
Xue Yu: “Okay.”
For the next two days, people kept coming to find Xue Yu for training.
Xue Yu accompanied them one by one.
In all the matches, she won more than she lost. Xue Yu was overjoyed. It seemed she was a late bloomer with great potential!
***
Feng Qizhou had a strange patient.
Youke’en was wearing black casual clothes, unabashedly showing his bald head. “Doctor, I feel very strange. A few days ago, during a training match, my spiritual landscape was invaded, and I’ve been retching and wanting to vomit ever since.”
Feng Qizhou quickly filled out a form. “Go and have these tests done first.”
“Okay.”
Two hours later, Youke’en returned with the forms. “Doctor, the tests are done.”
Feng Qizhou crossed his legs and looked at the forms. He was in a hurry to go and feed the baby and was very impatient. “There’s nothing wrong with you. Your spirit body is fine, your spiritual landscape is fine, and your body is fine. Why are you retching?”
Youke’en: “I came to the hospital because I don’t know why I’m retching.”
“Sorry, my attitude was not very good. I apologize,” Feng Qizhou became serious and thought for a moment. “Your spirit body is an orca, right?”
Youke’en: “Yes.”
Feng Qizhou looked up some information and then had Youke’en do another test.
When Youke’en returned after the test, Feng Qizhou was basically sure. He said faintly, “Your condition is quite rare, but there have been precedents. You have a phantom pregnancy.”
Youke’en’s pupils constricted. “What is a phantom pregnancy?”
Feng Qizhou: “It’s a false pregnancy. Since the White Tower implemented universal sterilization, some people still have an innate desire to reproduce, so they will experience phantom pregnancies under certain circumstances.”
Youke’en: “Doctor, I’m a man.”
Feng Qizhou: “I know. It’s very normal. Generally speaking, men have more severe reproductive anxiety than women because they don’t have the right to give birth. The cases of physiological reactions caused by reproductive anxiety that I have recorded are basically all men.”
Feng Qizhou printed out a medical record card and handed it to him.
Youke’en looked down at the words “phantom pregnancy,” his mind blank. “Doctor, I don’t quite understand.”
Feng Qizhou: “You have severe reproductive anxiety, which has caused phantom pregnancy symptoms. You still don’t understand?”
Youke’en firmly denied it. “I don’t have reproductive anxiety. I’ve never considered reproduction, and I’ve never wanted children.”
Feng Qizhou stood up. “This is my diagnosis. If you think it’s unreliable, you can find another doctor.”
Youke’en left with the medical record card, his steps heavy.
That day, Feng Qizhou received five male patients, all with similar conditions to Youke’en. They all had phantom pregnancies.
He sensed that something was wrong.
He asked the patient, “After fighting with whom did this situation occur?”
The patient said dejectedly, “Xue Yu. I think you’ve heard of her. Her spirit body is a seahorse. Because she’s a novice, her attack methods have not been studied at all, so I lost to her.”
Feng Qizhou sneered. “You’re not reconciled to losing to her?”
The patient: “Yes.”
Feng Qizhou raised an eyebrow. “You can’t afford to lose?”
“No,” the patient coughed lightly. “Dr. Feng, I’m here to see a doctor.”
Feng Qizhou smiled. “Sorry, I’ve said too much.”
He said to the patient with a pleasant expression, “The problem is not very big. It’s just that you’re too nervous. I’ll prescribe you some medicine. You’ll be fine after taking it for two days.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
After sending the patient away, Feng Qizhou finally knew the reason why Xue Yu had won every match against all the men these past few days.
It turned out that after fighting with Xue Yu, these men were affected by Xue Yu’s powerful reproductive ability and all experienced phantom pregnancies with reproductive anxiety, making them unable to fight, so they all lost to Xue Yu.
He quickly called Xue Yu. “Come back to my clinic right away.”
Xue Yu: “What for? I still have to fight with people. I’ve already accumulated 1,000 points! I’ll be able to surpass you soon.”
“Ancestor, you’ve caused big trouble. Don’t worry about points. Just come back.” Feng Qizhou was anxious.
