Chapter 68 Change for Love
Karl stopped smiling, raised his chin slightly, and looked at her quietly.
"Did you not hear me clearly? I said, if I leave, this place will collapse."
He told her almost word for word, but Qiao Susu just nodded slightly without any change in expression.
"I know." She looked at Karl, her clear eyes very quiet. "Your injuries are very serious, you shouldn't stay here any longer. I will convince Zong Fang for the last time tonight. After tonight, whether he and I leave or not, you should leave."
Hearing this, Karl felt mixed emotions, and a sense of unwillingness entangled in his heart.
Is she going to risk her life to be with that man now?
You want to say she is heartless, but she obviously didn't need to come to treat his injuries, and there was no need for her to urge him to leave quickly in order not to delay his treatment. But do you want to say she is affectionate?
Her feelings seemed insignificant and not for him.
Karl's nameless anger rose again, and he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, making it impossible for her to break free.
"Are you addicted to playing his lover? Don't move. I'm taking you out now."
Qiao Susu frowned and pushed him away, not understanding why this man suddenly became so bad-tempered.
"Karl, I can go out by myself. Zongfang gave me this space, and I can go out whenever I want." She looked up at the sky anxiously, thinking that Zongfang might come back at any time at this time, and wanted to shake off his hand, but the man refused to let go. "If you want to go, go by yourself, I want to go back."
Karl no longer had the relaxed and playful look of the past. His face was unusually serious. He pinched Qiao Suisui's wrist and asked her in a voice that was almost a growl, "Are you going back to continue to be his pet? Or to be a tool for giving birth to children?"
Qiao Susu was stunned.
She had always known her situation, but when someone else suddenly said it, it was like a slap in the face. Karl had uncovered the fig leaf that she had been reluctant to touch.
Her shoulders drooped, and she stopped struggling. She just lowered her head and asked quietly: "Then tell me, how can I survive?"
She raised her face and looked straight at him, tears in her eyes but she tried her best to restrain her tears from falling, her expression was so stubborn that it made people feel distressed. Karl looked at her and felt that his heart was hit by a hammer, and he couldn't even feel the pain on the wounds on his body.
"Not him, but you?"
"Or just a random male on the side of the road?"
"Whether it's the Imperial Court or the Space, they're both cages. Tell me what the difference is?"
Karl knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he moved his lips, looked at her red eyes, and couldn’t say anything to refute.
He felt that he was extremely stupid. Although he wanted to do good for her, his words were still condescending. Yes, he was also a male. What right did he have to criticize her for the means she used to survive? Being able to reproduce seemed to be a great ability in this world, making every male yearn for it, but this undoubtedly increased her pressure, making her always in a situation where she was being fought over but could not make her own choices.
Seeing Karl standing there speechless, Qiao Susu gently shook his hand away. The force was as light as a feather, but it pushed Karl very far away invisibly, so far that he actually felt afraid, afraid that he could never get close to her again.
He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he saw Qiao Susu lowered her eyes and turned away. Her petite body suddenly lost its previous vitality.
Karl couldn’t help but take a step forward, but stopped when he saw the man standing opposite him.
Zong Fang was standing opposite them, his eyes fixed on Qiao Susu, and it was obvious that he had been listening here for a long time.
They both thought that Zongfang was going to go crazy and kill someone in the next second, but they saw him slowly coming up to her and hugging her tightly. "Qiao Qiao, don't be sad, let's go out."
Qiao Susu was stunned. She looked up from his arms to see his expression, making sure he was not lying to her.
Zong Fang saw the doubt in her eyes and gently stroked her hair. "You want to ask me why I changed my mind, right?"
She nodded.
"Why didn't you go with him just now, but stayed with me?"
"Because I don't want you to be alone."
Zongfang's eyes turned red. He lowered his eyes to look at her, revealing an unprecedented gentle smile.
"Your words are enough."
He hugged her tighter again, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed the top of her head gently.
"I also want everyone to know that you are not my pet, nor a tool for my reproduction. Qiao Qiao, you are my gift."
It turns out that love really can make people softer.
If Carl's words hadn't woken him up, he probably still wouldn't have been able to understand why Qiao Qiao wanted to escape from him again and again.
He just thought that she didn't like being locked up and was wavering between him and several other males. He didn't realize that she had been carefully protecting her own self-esteem, so she wrapped herself in the attitude of not loving anyone and not caring about anyone.
Zong Fang's fangs and hardness were completely melted when he met Qiao Sui Sui. If she didn't want to change, he would change her, if she didn't want to compromise, he would compromise. In short, he was willing.
Karl stood aside, his whole body stiff as a stone that had been dried for many years. He suddenly felt his mouth become extremely bitter, and his heart became a shrunken apple, wrinkled. He didn't understand what this emotion was and where it came from. He looked blankly at Qiao Suisui who was holding the corner of the man's clothes.
She was so fragile and timid that she would vomit for a long time if she was teased. But at this time, she chose not to give up the person who had hurt her.
Isn't she heartless?
Why not be ruthless to the end?
Why should we be soft-hearted towards others?
Noticing Carl's gaze, Zong Fang looked at him with a warning. He did not demonstrate any mental coercion, but just a look, the murderous intent in it made Carl's back tighten uncontrollably.
Zong Fang didn't kill him right away because he was impressed by Carl's talent. Breaking is one of the only extremely rare talents left. At the peak of energy, he can even draw a black hole out of thin air in a group battle and use the property of breaking to transfer the attack to another space. He wanted to study it carefully, but now he dared to make his Qiao Qiao sad, so no matter how capable he was, he couldn't keep him.
He held Qiao Susu in one hand, and before the person in his arms could react, he used his other hand to attack Carl, knocking him away.
When Qiao Susu heard the noise and turned around, she saw Carl kneeling on the ground in a mess, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and the next moment he turned back into a beast form.
I saw a leopard with gray fur, black spots and rings, and a long and thick tail lying on the ground.
She quickly hugged Zongfang's arm and shook her head at him.
"Don't kill him. What if he dies and this space collapses?"
Zong Fang touched her hair, said "OK", then picked up the snow leopard, held Qiao Susu's hand and closed her eyes, and the two left the space together.
