Chapter 173 The Dragon’s Bride
Liberi and Luka were temporarily unable to get away, so they could only follow after finishing the things at hand. Zong Fang would never leave her side no matter what, so there was no suspense, he would definitely take her with him. The Freedom Alliance had left Liberi's territory, so he had to send someone there in advance to take care of it. It would be much easier with Sang Yan, after all, that was where he grew up, so Sang Yan would also go with Qiao Suisui. Not to mention Karl, it was very convenient to go anywhere with him, and he was now wanted by the scavengers because he disappeared without a reason. Fortunately, he had transferred the assets to Qiao Suisui in advance without leaving any trace.

"Sicoses, what are you thinking about?" Libery asked when he saw that Luca was a little distracted.

"I'm worried that she may not be willing to leave," Luka said.

Karl was puzzled and said: “No way, just tell her to go there for the ceremony and relax.”

Zong Fang said: "Anubis' whereabouts have not been found. She usually doesn't talk about it, but recently she has been unable to sleep well at night because of this matter. If we ask her to leave now, she may not be willing to do so."

Luka nodded.

Liberi hesitated for a moment and asked, "There is still no news. Has it been captured by the Federation?"

Luka reached out to stop him from talking. He closed the door, lit a cigarette, and said, "Actually, there was news a few days ago that the Federation had arrested a group of people. We don't know where they are being held, but according to the people I infiltrated, the place where they are being held has a very high level of confidentiality and the defense system is also the most advanced."

Zongfang frowned, looked at Carl, and said at the same time: "Are they starting to do experiments again?"

Liberi nodded with a serious expression, saying, "I can't get in touch with several core members of the Federation, but I have heard from their subordinates that they are currently researching a potion to cure the orcs' rampage."

"If he is caught, he will be the best experimental subject for the Federation." Zongfang said coldly.

Carl asked, “Why?”

"Because the violent gene in his body was solved by my blood, the Federation must be very curious about what caused him to change."

"So, isn't that kid very dangerous? Should we tell Sui Sui..." Carl fell silent after speaking. A "川" character was formed between his eyebrows, and he already had the answer in his mind.

"She's pregnant and not feeling well. Should she be worried all the time?" Libery crossed his arms and said calmly, "Sicoses and I will stay here to observe the situation over there. If there is a chance, we will rescue Anubis. But no one can be sure about this. He may be dead or disabled after being rescued. If she is lucky, we can give her the same Anubis as before, but you know how likely this is. If you think you should tell her now, please make your statement."

Zong Fang's expression was still as cold as ever. He basically didn't care about anything other than what was related to Qiao Sui Sui. If he wasn't afraid that she would blame him for not saving Anubis in the future, Zong Fang wouldn't want to care at all. "I won't tell you."

Karl scratched the place where his eyebrow was studded, smiled apologetically, and spread his hands and said: “I don’t know anything. I’m just an unemployed snow leopard.”

This means he can't speak it either.

Liberi looked at Luka again and saw that the cigarette between his fingers had burned to the end, and the ash fell on the table, but he only took a puff from beginning to end. Liberi asked again: "Sicoses, what about you?"

After thinking deeply, Luka put his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up and said, "Take her to the Freedom Alliance first, and wait until she is better, then tell her slowly."

“That is not to say,” Libery concluded.

Luka had a complicated expression and a struggle flashed across his face, but he did not refute Liberi in the end. So the four men reached an agreement and decided not to tell her about the cruelty that Anubis was very likely to encounter for the time being.

While the four were discussing in the conference room, on the other side, Sang Yan was guarding Qiao Susu.

The man who had been sitting on the chair beside the bed saw her wake up, and immediately came forward to help her put a pillow under her waist, and put two more pillows on her back and neck so that she could lean on it comfortably. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Qiao Suisui rubbed her eyes and said, "I feel much better now. Thank you."

Sang Yan handed her another cup of warm water, watched her drink it, and then asked, "Do you often say thank you to them?"

Qiao Suisui was slightly startled and didn't quite react. She replied, "Not with them."

Sang Yan lowered his eyes and after a few seconds, he said "hmm".

Seeing the man's somewhat lost expression, Qiao Sui Sui pursed her lips, pulled the corner of his clothes and asked, "If you don't like it, I will express it in another way when I want to thank you next time, how about that?"

Sang Yan looked at her straight and asked, "Like what?"

He saw her tilting her head in deep thought, her sparkling eyes making her look more charming. Sang Yan couldn't help but recall the excitement he felt when he first saw her. She was also pregnant at that time, hiding behind the door and looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

"I got it!" Qiao Susu lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Sang Yan hurriedly supported her. She was wearing a long skirt that dragged on the ground today. Sang Yan was afraid that she would trip, so he held the end of her skirt from behind.

Qiao Susu took out several necklaces from her dressing table. They were all given to her by other member states as a token of friendship. They included emeralds, obsidian, and all kinds of sparkling things.

She held the gems in her arms and said to Sang Yan with a smile, "I saw your box was full of gems before. You like to collect them, right? I will give you gems when I want to say thank you to you in the future!"

Sang Yan looked at those shining gems and felt that none of them could compare to her bright eyes at that moment.

He took a step forward, couldn't help but gently hold 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 rolled up and down, his eyes were filled with panicked seriousness, his fingertips touched her skin, and he couldn't help but stroking it gently.

As an ancient race that has been protecting the Beast God for generations, the Dragon Clan has always been entrenched in the territory of the Free Alliance. The birth of each dragon is extremely precious, symbolizing the inheritance of the Beast God's messenger from generation to generation. As a messenger, the dragon not only protects the Beast God, but also protects the faith. Therefore, the local residents also respect the Dragon Clan very much, and every year they will offer the females that are hatched with great difficulty to the Dragon Clan.

The tribute ceremony is to let the female lie in the flower boat with a gem in her mouth. Because gems are rare and expensive, they are not easy for ordinary people to get, so this also represents the determination of will, which means that she is willing to become the bride of the dragon.

Qiao Susu didn't know about this custom, and of course she didn't know that her behavior of holding a bouquet of gems at this moment was tantamount to proposing to Sang Yan.

Sang Yan also knew this. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, slowly withdrew his hand, and caressed her body temperature with his dangling fingertips lovingly.

He shouldn't expect more.

As long as she is well, as long as she is happy, nothing else matters.

Sang Yan calmed down and said with a smile: "The dragon will fulfill your wish. You have so many gems, it seems that I can fulfill many of your wishes."
