Rosie frowned, her hand gently stroking her slightly bulging belly.

Tonight I always felt that there was something wrong with the little guy in my belly.

The black dragon cub, which was usually extremely active, was surprisingly quiet today and hardly bothered her the entire afternoon.

She originally thought it was because of her depressed mood that she didn't notice the little guy in her belly.

But now that things were beginning to take shape, she felt that something seemed to be wrong.

An inexplicable anxiety gradually arose in Luo Xi's heart.

She quickly called out the fertility system 001 in her mind.

Although 001 may be a little unreliable in other matters, it is definitely the right thing to ask when it comes to having children.

"Is 001 here? How's the cub in my belly? Why hasn't it moved for so long?"

There was a hint of nervousness in Rosie's voice. After all, it was the baby's business, so she had to be cautious.

The voice of System 001 sounded in her mind, with its usual contradictory sense of agility and mechanicalness.

[There is indeed a problem. The black dragon cub in your belly is too talented. The energy you obtain is insufficient to support its growth, so it has temporarily entered a low-energy semi-dormant state. It's fine for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, I'm afraid...]

Luo Xi's heart sank suddenly. She vaguely felt the seriousness of the situation: "Afraid of what? Tell me quickly!"

[I'm afraid the baby won't be born, and may even die...]

Although 001 didn't finish his words, how could Rosie not understand what he was saying?

"What about green crystal? Will it help him if I eat more green crystal?" Luo Xi asked quickly. She didn't even notice that her voice was shaking uncontrollably.

Although Dr. Enzo had said before that she should not take too much green crystal in her current condition, she didn't care about that when she heard that her baby was in danger.

As long as the baby is safe, nothing else matters.

However, System 001's answer dashed her hopes.

[You're carrying a male cub. The energy of the green crystal isn't suitable for males. It won't do any good except make it bigger and require more energy to grow.]

Rosie's heart beat faster and she felt a little weak.

"What should we do then?" she almost blurted out, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

System 001's voice was cold and mechanical, like a real, emotionless robot.

[The best way is to have sex with someone of the opposite sex who has life-related abilities.]

Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, and felt a black barcode line hanging down her forehead...

Pay Youji?

How does one say such words...

And he said it so seriously and as a matter of course.

She subconsciously asked back, "...What are the life-related superpowers?"

[Wood, Healing, Light, these are all. In addition to these, there may be some rare awakening abilities.]

Hearing this, Rosie began to quickly sort out the partners around her in her mind.

Fanxiao is a wind element.

Lingyuan is a spiritual type.

Kyle is a space and dark type.

Luo Xi: “…”

well.

So many superpowers don't meet the requirements.

She didn't believe that the system didn't do it on purpose.

She no longer had any doubts.

The 001 system really wants to cultivate a female protagonist for me to post articles.

"I am a wood-type mutant myself..." Luo Xi struggled.

【Have you ever seen a doctor who can cure himself? 】

Luo Qian: "...Is there any other way? Is there anything I can use in the system mall? Any amount of points is fine, just name your price."

She actually didn't have too many expectations in her heart, but she still wanted to give it a try. After all, there were many strange things in the system mall, and maybe there would be something she could use.

However, System 001's answer was as straightforward as ever.

【No! 】

Luo Xi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. She was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth and said, "...How can you be so self-righteous about being a waste?"

She finally realized that there was not a single product in the mall that would affect the system's KPI.

But what should I do now? Should I really let her find a partner with life-related superpowers?

And even if she really got over the hurdle in her heart, what would the other party think?

How could she bring herself to talk about such a thing?

Rosie let out a long sigh.

"...How much time do I have left to think about it?"

[The cub in your belly can still survive for another month, but you'd better make a decision as soon as possible.]

"……I see."

Luo Xi was afraid that 001 was deceiving her just for the sake of KPI, so she consulted the most authoritative doctor in the capital star on Star Network.

The other party's answer was even worse than 001's.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I've never encountered this situation before," the doctor said with an embarrassed look on his face. He tried to save his dignity at the end, "After all, you're carrying an Orc cub, and Orc cubs haven't appeared in the entire galaxy for thousands of years."

Although Luo Xi was a little disappointed, she knew that what the other party said was right.

She thanked the doctor politely and was about to cut off the connection to the star network, but the doctor quickly stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Ms. Luo Xi," the doctor said uncertainly, "Isn't the high priest of the Beast God Temple your guardian? Why don't you ask him? He is from the Teng Snake Clan, one of the eight ancient guardian races of the Beast Gods. He is one of the only two guardian races of the eight major divine races that specialize in healing."

When Rosie heard him mention the guardian whom she had never met, she felt a little weird.

You have to know that apart from the monthly alimony of 100 million Star Coins, she has never even met the Teng Snake High Priest.

This High Priest Teng Snake is also very mysterious, and no photos of him can even be found on the Starnet.

Although they had registered on StarNet, they didn't even know what the other person looked like.

It's such a weird thing that no one would believe it if I told them.

Luo Xi was just about to thank the doctor politely and hang up when the doctor continued, "However, the High Priest is far away in the Star-Moon Empire. Your Excellency the Saint, why don't you go directly to ask the other guardian god clan who is in charge of treatment? They are on the capital planet."

Rosie: “…Who is it?”

The doctor smiled and said, "Of course it's the Nine-Colored Deer Clan."

……

Today is the day to go to the First Federal Military Academy for cooking class.

Rosie was a little dazed today, especially when she saw Ivan standing in the front row of the classroom.

The tall young orc stood in the sunlight, his flaxen hair shimmering softly in the golden light, as if adorning him with a pale golden halo. His pupils, pale as lake water, glowed warmly in the sunlight, as if one could see directly through his eyes into the purity of his heart.

When Luo Xi looked at Ivan, Ivan was also looking straight at Luo Pian on the podium. Their eyes met. Ivan smiled brightly.

Luo Xi quickly turned her face away, her ears slightly red.

It was only yesterday that she learned from the doctor that the Nine-Colored Deer Clan was the main treatment race.

Then think about what System 001 said to him before.

Rosie felt even more unable to look Ivan in the eye.

She actually had a feeling in her heart.

I always feel that there is a big hand in the dark that connects her fate with Ivan's.

Rosie took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Her current identity is a teacher, and no matter what, she should not have any improper expectations of her students.

She forced herself to cheer up and tried to maintain her usual composure, but the strange feeling in her heart never went away.

Just as her mind wandered, a soft hiss escaped her mouth. A burning pain shot through the back of her hand. She looked down and realized she had accidentally placed her hand on the edge of a boiling pot. The scalding heat instantly stung her skin, and redness and swelling quickly appeared.

His skin was originally white and transparent, and the red marks looked even more shocking against his skin.

The students immediately erupted in excitement, but one person, quicker than anyone else, reacted. A tall, slender figure instantly rushed to the cooking station. His movements were swift and decisive. He reached out and cupped Rosie's injured hand.

"Don't move." His voice was low, with a hint of urgency and concern.

Then, a stream of cool water appeared out of nowhere, flowing from his palm and gently covering Rosie's wound. The cool feeling instantly dispelled her pain and also took away the burning sensation of her skin.

Looking at Ivan's focused expression, Rosie felt an inexplicable strangeness in her heart.

She didn't expect that Ivan, who usually looked calm and composed beyond his age, actually had such a side to him.

She had clearly seen the undisguised anxiety in Ivan's eyes the moment he rushed over.

Under the water's rush, Rosie's pain gradually subsided. But Ivan didn't stop. He gently raised his other hand, and the light of his wood power blossomed. A warm, soft green light flickered on the back of Rosie's hand. Under the influence of the wood power, the red and swollen mark gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Luo Xi's eyes moved slightly. Although he already knew that the Nine-Colored Deer was a race that mainly focused on healing, he didn't know what kind of healing skills the Nine-Colored Deer had. But now he knew.

He actually has the same wood-related ability as me.

After the treatment was completed, Ivan frowned slightly, clearly still a little worried about Luo Xi's condition. "Teacher, I'd better take you to the infirmary and let the doctor confirm it."

Rosie was a little hesitant. She thought of Dr. Enzo, who always made her feel uncomfortable and even a little scary.

As if she was completely invisible to him, she shook her head and said softly, "My minor injury is fine. There's no need to go to the infirmary. In fact, I have an office that Principal Gran prepared specially for me. I haven't been there yet, so I'll just go there and rest for a while."

Ivan's eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but he finally nodded. "Okay, I'll accompany you to the office to rest."

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other, and behind them, the other students started talking loudly only after they were sure that the class monitor could not hear them.

Especially Claude, who usually has a good relationship with Ivan.

"Come on, the market's open. Everyone, hurry up and place your bets on when our squad leader will take the top spot!"

……

The two walked down the corridor towards Rosie's office.

Along the way, Rosie felt Ivan's gaze sweeping over her from time to time. She didn't dare to look back at all, but Ivan's presence was too strong, and it seemed that there was a subtle atmosphere in the air.

When they finally arrived at Rosie's office, Ivan reached out and pushed the door open, pulling it open for her to the inner room. Rosie walked in and discovered that the office was exceptionally simple, with clean tables and chairs and soft lighting, which made her feel a rare sense of relaxation.

However, just as she was about to walk to the table, her foot suddenly slipped and she lost her balance.

She reflexively reached out to grab something to steady herself, and Ivan rushed over at the same moment, trying to hold her up.

The two of them moved too hastily and ended up losing their balance and falling to the ground together.

As she fell, Rosie felt her lips suddenly bump against something warm and soft. She opened her eyes and found herself in close proximity to Ivan's face, and the soft touch was actually his lips. Their breaths mingled, and the air was filled with an indescribable, ambiguous atmosphere.

Rosie's face flushed red all the way to her ears, as if all the blood had instantly rushed to her cheeks, and heat washed over her body. Her heartbeat was pounding like a drum, so fast it threatened to burst from her chest. She wanted to push Ivan away; her mind told her she had to, but her body felt like it was being held tightly by an invisible force, unable to move.

Rosie's mind was in a mess. She realized that she should push him away, but Ivan's shallow breathing and warm breath made it impossible for her to concentrate. Her fingers curled up involuntarily, as if looking for some kind of comfort or dependence, but she hesitated because of her inner panic.

Ivan was also stunned, obviously not expecting such an accident to happen. The initial shock was quickly replaced by an uncontrollable throbbing. His eyes slid from Rosie's eyes to her flushed cheeks, and then to the corners of her slightly trembling lips. A complex emotion surged in his heart.

He should have moved away immediately, but his body seemed out of control, and his reason and emotions were pulling at each other violently.

The surroundings seemed to have fallen into a strange silence. Apart from the mingling breathing of the two people, there was no other sound...

After a while, Ivan finally reacted and quickly got up from Rosie, a blush of embarrassment appearing on his face. He reached out to support Rosie and said softly, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do that."

Rosie managed to calm herself down. Although her heart was still beating wildly, she tried not to look panicked. "No, it's okay. I was careless..."

The office fell into a subtle and awkward silence again, and at this moment a muffled groan was heard from outside the door.

Because the office was so quiet, the groan was particularly clear.

The two looked at each other, and Ivan made a "hush" gesture to Rosie.
