I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 53: Six Babies in One Pregnancy
"Do we really have to draw blood?"
Qiao Suisui pinched the hem of her dress, somewhat anxious. The test she just underwent showed a slightly problematic value, so Ruka decided on the spot to conduct a more in-depth examination as a precaution.
He saw her fear, but for her health, he steeled his resolve, squatted beside her, and whispered soothingly, "This test is very important. Suisui, be good, it’ll be over very quickly."
She took a deep breath, extended her arm, and turned her face away, not wanting to watch. Ruka took the opportunity to hold her in his embrace, rolling up her sleeve. The medical staff were also comforting her, but Qiao Suisui, seeing the extremely fine tip of the needle in his hand, felt that their reassurances were entirely unpersuasive.
She shut her eyes tight, hoping for a quick end to it all, her entire focus on her arm, to the point where she could even feel her pores tremble as the needle neared her vein.
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open.
In Leberli’s eyes, there was only one person he could see. At that moment she was nestled in Ruka’s arms, her delicate eyebrows knit together as she bit her lower lip.
His breathing jagged with excitement, he strode forward quickly but came to an abrupt halt upon seeing her pregnant belly.
"Ash?" She looked over, surprised and exclaimed.
Ruka was the first to snap out of it, stepping in front of Qiao Suisui and directly blocking Leberli’s view.
"You shouldn’t be here."
Leberli understood the implication of his words. Until things had settled, the best way to protect her was to avoid any contact with her. He wanted to do just that, but hearing her voice, all the pent-up longing burst forth like a breached dam and he could no longer hold it back.
"I just want to talk to her for a moment, and then I’ll leave," Leberli said, looking directly at Ruka. The once close friends were now somewhat strangers to each other after being reunited today.
The two men were at an impasse when suddenly, a soft cry of surprise rang out from the room.
It turned out that the medical staff, taking advantage of Qiao Suisui being distracted by the interaction, didn’t neglect their duty. Swiftly, they inserted the very fine needle tip into her vein.
The cold sensation of a foreign object made her shiver all over.
Upon hearing her voice, both men turned around at the same time, and Leberli quickly stepped forward to hold her shoulders.
"Don’t move, it’ll hurt more if you do," he coaxed her, "Be good, try to relax your muscles."
Qiao Suisui’s body relaxed before her mind did, gradually easing under Leberli’s pleasant voice. The blood was drawn in no time, and as soon as the medical staff removed the needle, Leberli immediately pressed cotton against the puncture site.
"Does it hurt? Feel dizzy? Want to drink some water?"
Qiao Suisui shook her head and sighed deeply, "Finally, it’s over."
The natural back-and-forth of their conversation, along with their intimacy, left Ruka standing aside with a chill in his fingertips and a sinking heart.
"Ash, are you alright?"
Leberli met her eyes, which were filled with concern, and revealed the first smile he had shown in a long time.
"I’m fine, don’t worry about me," he replied, then glanced at her prominently rounded belly, his chest heaving for a moment before he asked uncertainly, "...Whose child is this?"
Before she could reply, Ruka interjected, "Mine."
Leberli’s face darkened, and Qiao Suisui didn’t miss the quick and intense flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Ruka stepped forward, emitting an extremely powerful spiritual power as a clear signal to leave.
But what he didn’t know was that Qiao Suisui had also awakened her own spiritual power. Because she was a human and not a Beastman, nobody had sensed her newfound spiritual power.
However, at that moment, the overpowering pressure from a male with an SSS-level spirit power hit her, instantly draining the color from her face, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood.
"Suisui!"

Ruka shouted loudly for someone outside the door, while Leberli held her slightly trembling body, feeling the cold sweat on her back.
"How could this happen..."
After a chaotic round of checks and treatment, Qiao Suisui’s vital signs finally stabilized.
Leberli held her hand and refused to leave, and Ruka had no mood to urge anyone away. He recalled everything that had just happened, it seemed to be after he released his spiritual power that she suddenly exhibited this reaction, could it be....
Ruka called for the dean, who tested Suisui and found that she indeed had awakened her spiritual power, with a level C. Everyone was plunged into shock.
The dean pushed up his glasses, incredulously saying, "Ancient Humans can also awaken spiritual power like the Beastmen, this, this, this...."
This was unprecedented!
At this moment, Ruka clenched his fists tightly, his jaw taut as he sunk into deep self-blame and regret.
He had actually hurt her.... It was so close, just a hair’s breadth, if he hadn’t retracted his pressure in time, what would have happened to Suisui....
Leberli held her hand and kissed the back of it. Whether she had spiritual power or not, as long as she was okay, that was the most important thing for him.
"Dean, Miss Suisui’s pregnancy report is out."
A medical staff member stood at the door holding a device, dumbfounded and foolish, also forgetting to knock.
Seeing this, the dean frowned with dissatisfaction, "Hand it over, what are you standing there for?"
That staff member, whether from nervousness or excitement, stumbled into the room and stammered, "The report shows... The report shows....."
"Tch, did you take the wrong medicine? Don’t embarrass me." The dean snatched the electronic device, raised his head and held the device far away, squinting to look at it.
Ruka and Leberli were focused on Qiao Suisui’s condition, so they didn’t notice the dean’s shocked expression when he saw the pregnancy report.
He took off his glasses and placed them on his nose, staring wide-eyed at the scan results on the device.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...."
Leberli turned his head to look at the dean, asking with a frown, "What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with her health?"
Ruka also looked over, and with the pressing gaze of the two males upon him, the dean swallowed, taking a while to find his voice.
"Miss Suisui, she, she...."
"What about her?" Seeing the dean’s reaction, Ruka thought she had a severe health issue, immediately becoming anxious.
"In this pregnancy, she is carrying six cubs!"
"What?"
Both men thought they had misheard.
"Say that again."
"It’s indeed six, all Deer cubs, three females and three males."
Leberli’s figure swayed, he took a step back, his mind buzzing, unable to hear anything else. He looked at the person lying unconscious on the bed, wanting to touch her, but his hand trembled uncontrollably.
"Suisui, Suisui, they are our children...." He spoke with agitated incoherence.
The original shock of her carrying four lion cubs had already astonished everyone, but to think that this time six Deer cubs were conceived at once. And this time, there were even three females, precious live-bearing females.
Amidst everyone’s amazement, Ruka’s first thought was worry about complications during her childbirth, as she was due in just over ten days. With so many cubs this time, and having just been injured... Thinking of this, his heart clenched.
