Chapter 42: Xue Yu is a Good Master, I’ve Tested It
Regardless of combat experience, physical fitness, or spiritual power, Zhou Siyan was a fearsome presence in the White Tower.
He grabbed Youke’en’s neck and easily dragged him to the side. With his other hand, he spread his five fingers and pressed them forcefully on Youke’en’s head.
The veins on Youke’en’s forehead bulged, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down. He couldn’t help but have a bestial reaction.
His teeth became sharp, just like his spirit body, the orca. His mouth was like a saw.
Feng Qizhou picked up Xue Xiaobei with one hand and covered Xue Yu’s eyes with the other, rolling his eyes at Zhou Siyan. “That’s enough. Are you planning on killing someone in front of the children?”
He placed Xue Xiaobei in Xue Yu’s arms, then picked up Xue Xiaohai, who was lying on the foam mat, and pushed Xue Yu out of the bedroom.
When they sat down on the sofa in the living room, Feng Qizhou rubbed Xue Xiaohai’s face and said with a faint sneer:
“Look, your old man has such a bad temper. He’s always fighting and killing. He’s too violent.”
“Such a violent dad is no good. Why don’t you have your mom give you to me? Uncle Qizhou is handsome, rich, and talented, gentle, considerate, and loving. Your mom is so obsessed with me. You can be my goddaughter. I’ll treat you as my own.”
Feng Qizhou then took out a milk cake from his pocket, unwrapped the plastic wrap, and waved it in front of Xue Xiaohai.
“Come on, Xiaohai, say ‘daddy’.”
Xue Xiaohai’s mouth was watering, and she reached out with both hands to grab the milk cake.
Feng Qizhou guided her step by step. “Xiaohai, say ‘daddy’.”
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”
Xue Xiaohai’s speech became clearer and clearer. She called out “daddy” three times in a row, her voice extremely loud.
Zhou Siyan was still in the bedroom dealing with Youke’en. He needed to completely suppress Youke’en’s spiritual power so that he couldn’t summon his spirit body for the time being, which would make the subsequent interrogation more convenient.
Hearing Xiaohai’s “daddy,” Zhou Siyan thought she was calling him.
He leaned out of the bedroom and looked over, only to find that this spoiled brat had disowned her own father for a piece of milk cake and was actually calling Feng Qizhou “daddy.”
Zhou Siyan glanced at Xue Yu. “The child is calling out randomly. Are you just going to turn a deaf ear?”
Xue Yu was suddenly called out. She quickly snatched the milk cake from Feng Qizhou’s hand and stuffed it into Xue Xiaohai’s hand. “How can you mistake your daddy? This is Uncle Feng Qizhou, not your daddy.”
Feng Qizhou said resentfully, “Is it necessary to be so strict with a child? As long as she doesn’t mistake her mom, it’s fine.”
After completely suppressing Youke’en’s spiritual power, Zhou Siyan dragged him out.
He fumbled in the pocket of Youke’en’s camouflage suit and found an access card. The card had a white water-wave pattern, which was the exclusive pattern of the highest leader of the White Tower—Ms. Bai Long.
A strange look flashed in Zhou Siyan’s eyes. What was Youke’en’s relationship with Ms. Bai Long?
“Where did you get the access card?” Zhou Siyan asked.
Youke’en didn’t reply.
After his body had become bestial, some of the characteristics of a water-type warrior began to show. His skin was unconsciously secreting water, and he was soaked. The nano-camouflage suit was as thin as a cicada’s wing after being wet, clinging to his body and outlining his body lines completely.
“Do you have to humiliate me like this?”
He was half-kneeling, half-lying on the ground, his head hanging low. The water droplets had matted his silver hair into strands. A small puddle of water had accumulated under him. He was in a very wretched state.
Feng Qizhou sat on the sofa with Xue Xiaobei in his arms, looking down at him with an arrogant smile. “Getting wet is humiliating you? Besides, aren’t you an open-minded person? Do you still care about these things?”
“I’m an open-minded person, not a slut,” Youke’en’s voice was hoarse.
Xue Yu knew that Youke’en’s nerves were very fragile, and any little bit of stimulation could make him break down.
She put Xue Xiaohai on the sofa, took off her own jacket, and squatted down to put it on Youke’en.
Youke’en shivered and gathered the clothes, his eyes scarlet as he looked at Xue Yu. “Are these two children yours?”
Xue Yu nodded.
“Did you give birth to them?” Youke’en showed a look of confusion, not quite believing it.
Xue Yu didn’t reply but looked at Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou.
The matter of a man giving birth was unheard of, not just in the White Tower, but in the entire planet.
She wanted to tell them that if they were unwilling to admit it, she could say that she had given birth to the children.
Zhou Siyan stood by the armrest of the sofa and said, “How the children came to be is none of your business. You just have to tell me, where did you get your access card?”
“I got it from my father,” Youke’en said honestly.
Feng Qizhou took the access card from Zhou Siyan and looked at it. “Your father is indeed high-ranking and powerful, but this card should only belong to Ms. Bai Long.”
Youke’en: “My father is Bai Long’s dog.”
Xue Yu was stunned. The order and people of the White Tower were too perverted.
For a moment, she suspected that the “dog” Youke’en was referring to was a physiological dog, not just a metaphorical one.
“What do you want?” Zhou Siyan asked again.
Youke’en looked up. “I like children. I want a child. I just like children so much that I can’t help but come and play with them. I would never harm them.”
“Xue Yu, will you give me a child?”
He moved on his knees and knelt in front of Xue Yu. “You can give them two children. Why can’t you give me one? Just take pity on me.”
Zhou Siyan kicked Youke’en away, pulled Xue Yu up, and had her sit back on the sofa.
Feng Qizhou: “When did you start to discover the existence of the two children?”
Youke’en supported himself on the ground with both hands in pain.
“My phantom pregnancy symptoms are still very severe. I lied to Xue Yu and said I was fine, but I’m not. I’ve been following her.”
“I found that she often goes in and out of your and Feng Qizhou’s offices. And every time she comes out, she has a nice smell on her. This smell is irresistible to me.”
“So I stole this access card from my father’s office and secretly entered your offices while you were at the church meeting.”
He looked at the two children sitting on Feng Qizhou’s lap and continued, “After I entered the office, I realized that the smell on Xue Yu was actually the smell of a child. It’s so charming.”
Xue Yu got goosebumps.
The smell of a child… This term was too strange. It felt like Youke’en was a strange uncle who would eat children.
Youke’en turned to face Feng Qizhou. “Didn’t you say you wanted a nanny? Let me help you take care of the children. I like children very much. I love children. It doesn’t matter if they’re not my own. Please let me take care of the children.”
“Then how will you show your sincerity?”
Feng Qizhou’s fox-like eyes always hid a layer of cunning.
“I will be obedient. I will always be obedient…”
“Then from now on, you will be Xue Yu’s male servant.”
Feng Qizhou held one of Xue Yu’s legs with one hand and lifted it, crossing her legs. “Come here, dear Youke’en. Come and kiss your master’s shoes.”
Youke’en’s body froze in place for a few seconds. As if having made some kind of decision, he moved on his knees towards Xue Yu.
Xue Yu was so scared she stood up. “Feng Qizhou, can you not be so open-minded? You’re scaring me!”
“I’m serious. Since Youke’en wants to take care of the children, we should give him this chance.”
Xue Xiaobei was so sleepy she kept yawning. Feng Qizhou had no choice but to pick her up and rock her gently. He continued, “Youke’en, if you are willing to be spiritually marked by Xue Yu, then we will welcome you into our big family.”
Spiritual marking was a method of taming soldiers that had been banned in the White Tower.
In the past, to make soldiers completely loyal to the White Tower, the higher-ups had developed a method called “spiritual marking.”
After an officer spiritually marked a soldier, the officer could freely enter and exit the soldier’s spiritual landscape, understand the soldier’s thoughts at any time, and give the soldier orders at any time.
Later, this technology was abused by the open-minded faction, who used it to play some master-servant games, leading to increasing chaos in management.
Thus, the White Tower completely banned this technology.
“What is spiritual marking?” Xue Yu asked.
Feng Qizhou: “After being marked, Youke’en will be completely yours. His thoughts, his privacy will all be exposed to you. You can give him orders at any time, and you can also punish him at any time. This person, from his body to his thoughts, will be completely yours.”
“How do you punish?” Xue Yu was confused.
Feng Qizhou raised an eyebrow. “You’re already asking about punishment? My little Xue Yu, you still dare to say you’re an honest person?”
Xue Yu’s blood ran cold. She turned to look at Zhou Siyan. “Let’s not do it. It sounds perverted. I’m a little scared.”
Zhou Siyan pressed her shoulder to reassure her and leaned down to say softly, “Don’t be afraid. It’s okay.”
Feng Qizhou added, “So, Youke’en, are you willing to be marked by Xue Yu? Think carefully before you answer. After the marking is successful, you will be Xue Yu’s person for the rest of your life.”
Youke’en answered without hesitation, “I am willing.”
“A very wise choice,” Feng Qizhou smiled. “Xue Yu is indeed a very good master. I have already tested it for you.”
“Huh? When did I become your master? Don’t talk nonsense!” Xue Yu denied loudly.
Zhou Siyan carefully put away the access card. “I’ll keep this card. Spiritual marking is not a joke. I’ll give you three days. Go back and think about it carefully. Come and tell me when you’ve made up your mind.”
Youke’en left in a daze.
This matter indeed needed careful consideration. After being marked, he would belong to Xue Yu completely, from the inside out, with no chance of going back.
Only Xue Yu, Zhou Siyan, and Feng Qizhou were left in the room.
Feng Qizhou held Xue Xiaobei and kissed her, then put her back in the temperature-controlled box. “I have a surgery. I have to go now. Director Zhou, please take care of my Xiaobei.”
He pulled Xue Yu. “Come with me. I have something romantic I want to do with you.”
“What are you doing?”
“Treating your mental retardation.”
Xue Yu turned her head awkwardly. “Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Zhou Siyan sat down on the sofa and picked up Xue Xiaohai. Without looking up, he said, “Be careful not to get electrocuted by him.”
Xue Yu was taken to the operating room by Feng Qizhou and asked to wait outside.
After about twenty minutes, a nurse came out with a patient and said to Xue Yu with a smile, “Xue Yu, it’s your turn. Go in. Dr. Feng is waiting for you inside.”
Xue Yu was confused and didn’t know what Feng Qizhou was up to.
She slowly entered the operating room and saw Feng Qizhou washing his hands at the sink. The sink was full of red, bloody water.
“What are you doing?” Xue Yu asked.
After washing his hands, Feng Qizhou first locked the operating room door, took off his surgical gown, and lifted his inner shirt, revealing his swollen belly to Xue Yu. “Little sister has grown a lot lately. I think it’s time to have her.”
Xue Yu looked down at Feng Qizhou’s belly. It was already quite big.
Usually, Feng Qizhou always wore a very loose white lab coat, walked with ease, and his back was straight. He didn’t look like a pregnant man at all.
“You’re not planning on giving birth today, are you?!” Xue Yu was surprised and amazed.
Feng Qizhou changed the sterile sheet on the hospital bed, had Xue Yu sit on the bed, and stood in front of her, pressing her head against his belly. “I called you over because I want you to pick a good day. We’ll pick a good day and then have the C-section.”
“Can you just pick a day like that?”
“Of course.”
He operated the machine next to him, applied a layer of coupling agent to his abdomen, and placed the probe on his belly.
Soon, the screen of the machine next to the operating table showed an image of the child in his belly.
It was very clear, much clearer than the B-scans on Earth.
The child’s hands, feet, face, and closed eyes could all be seen clearly.
Feng Qizhou held Xue Yu with one arm and operated the probe with the other. “Look, this is little sister. She’s so big. She should be as strong as Xue Xiaohai when she’s born.”
This was the first time Xue Yu had seen her own child in the womb.
When she had gone to the South Continent with Zhou Siyan, the doctor had only taken a blurry picture, and she hadn’t had a chance to see it clearly.
She unconsciously touched the screen. “It’s really a child. It’s my daughter.”
“She’s our daughter,” Feng Qizhou said with a smile. “Alright, hurry up and think about when is a good time to have her. I have to prepare early and also ask for leave in advance.”
“I didn’t plan well when I had Xiaobei. I went back to work the day after she was born and performed surgery. I was so dizzy that I almost cut the wrong organ.”
He touched Xue Yu’s round profile. “I’m very happy, Xue Yu, that you’re with me this time. I don’t have to be alone in the operating room in the middle of the night, giving birth by myself.”
Xue Yu’s eyes stung. She turned her back and covered her face.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
Feng Qizhou turned Xue Yu’s face and found that she was crying. He panicked, pulled her hands away, and lowered his head to kiss her tears.
“Why are you crying? Alright, alright. It’s my fault. I know you’re afraid of blood and gore. Then you don’t have to go into the operating room. Just wait for me outside, okay?”
Xue Yu wiped her face hard and turned to hug Feng Qizhou. “Feng Qizhou, I will be with you, always with you.”
“You don’t have to force yourself.”
Feng Qizhou kissed her hair. “It was me who was selfish. It was me who forced you to be a mother. You are also a little child who doesn’t know anything, and you became a mother for no reason. I never gave you a choice.”
“No, if you want to have them, I’m willing to have them.”
Xue Yu held him very tightly. “Have as many as you want. I want them all. They are all my children.”
Xue Yu rarely cried, but this time, the tears wouldn’t stop.
Feng Qizhou wiped them again and again. “Why is there so much water? Water-types are so troublesome. It’s all water.”
He held Xue Yu’s face, a smile on his lips, and winked at her.
“There’s so much water in your eyes. I wonder if there’s water anywhere else. Why don’t you let me have a drink? In case you go out with wet pants and get laughed at.”
Xue Yu broke into a smile and punched him. “You’re about to have a baby, and you’re still not serious.”
He played with Xue Yu’s hand. “Want to try? Playing with a pregnant man, what a great blessing. You shouldn’t not cherish it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
He said seriously, “Anyway, before the two little brats learn to walk and talk, I won’t have the energy to get pregnant again. You have to seize the opportunity.”
