98: No, don't talk nonsense!

Tu Nan stopped in her tracks. The newcomers were clearly up to no good...

Before she could give it much thought, the taller, younger, and fuller of the two began firing off insults like a machine gun.

"A second-hand good like you actually thinks you can catch Colonel Kong's eye? You're delusional. You already have Two Children, yet you still don't know how to conduct yourself with any decency."

"Lan? I really don't know which backwater place this minor noble was donated from. If I were your father, I wouldn't wait for your husband to find out; I would have beaten you to death myself to save the Family from such shame."

Tu Nan held the Two Children tightly, purely to protect the reckless one.

After all, although Miao Miao couldn't fully understand that long rant, she could sense the malice, and she was already shouting about burning the two of them to death.

That's right, Miao Miao's Talent skill was fire, along with a more hidden ability that was likely "Intimidation."

"Miao Miao, control yourself."

Under her mother's strict command, Miao Miao reluctantly buried her head into Tu Nan's skirt, struggling to restrain herself.

"Sigh, Yilu. Don't be so dramatic; in many places, they would simply burn such an unclean woman at the stake." The shorter sister covered her mouth, though her words were even more vicious.

To speak like that in front of the Children was just… classless.

This kind of Female Beast really had no bite to her bark.

"Sigh…"

Tu Nan sighed, looked the two sisters up and down, and then shook her head with a sigh.

"I finally understand why Jiamu says he gets so annoyed by being pestered." She made sure to say Kong Jiamu's name with an affectionate tone.

"When it comes to conversation, you at least need to be able to talk to a human being…"

She stared meaningfully at their little pig ears and the sister's exceptionally obvious pig snout.

"There's no common ground to be found with livestock."

"Are you calling us pigs!"

The younger sister nearly lunged to slap Tu Nan, but her older sister held her back.

"Don't fall for it, there's surveillance!" the older sister hissed.

Tu Nan nodded, shrugging as if she were disappointed.

"Ah, I thought I could invite Jiamu to watch a special film this afternoon. What a shame, what a shame."

Watching the two sisters' faces turn pale, Tu Nan curled her lip, bored. Such weak combat power.

Was the quality of Kong Jiamu's unwanted admirers always this poor?

"Children, let's go."

Tu Nan leisurely led the Children past the two blockheads.

The older sister watched the Two Children skipping along after Tu Nan, the flames of jealousy in her eyes burning brighter. Over the past few days, she had seen this Female Beast use these Two Children to latch onto Colonel Kong several times.

As they passed each other.

The pig-beast sister suddenly spoke up, "Don't think that being able to give birth gives you any advantage. I'm telling you, it's completely useless."

Seeing Tu Nan slow her pace, she felt that she had finally struck a nerve with this Female Beast's sordid intentions, and she felt a bit better.

"Hmph, do you think Colonel Kong values a Female Beast's reproductive ability like those ordinary Male Beasts?"

Seeing Tu Nan slowly turn around with a cold glint in her eyes, she became even more smug.

She had seen plenty of such Female Beasts; hmph, they would never have a chance!

"You didn't know, did you? S-Rank Male Beasts can place a Gene Lock on themselves, making it impossible for stray cats and dogs from nowhere to get pregnant. You've got the wrong idea!"

What was she talking about?

"Gene Lock…?" Tu Nan repeated.

The younger sister, Yilu, realized that Tu Nan really had been planning exactly that, and laughed in shock.

"You're killing me. What kind of background does Colonel Kong have? What Rank is he? How could he possibly let something dirty like you succeed? You actually thought you could use a child to elevate your status and enter the Kong Family, ha."

For a moment, Tu Nan truly felt despair.

A few days ago, she had felt she could relax and have a romance with Kong Jiamu, but that was under the assumption that her mission could also progress.

Now, someone had suddenly popped up to tell her that as long as Kong Jiamu wasn't willing, it was impossible for her to steal a child from him?

This explained the things she had always found strange—namely, how Kong Jiamu, a wandering peacock of a man, didn't have offspring running around everywhere.

She had mistakenly assumed he was just cautious and that his contraceptive measures were excellent. It turned out he could simply perform a targeted "sterilization" on himself?

The plans she had for swapping out contraceptive sprays or other methods were all just a joke?

One month—she had to make the playboy Kong Jiamu want a child voluntarily?

…She didn't have that kind of audacity.

That was impossible.

She turned on her heel, fuming, while the two sisters continued to mock her wantonly behind her back.

Tu Nan's expression was icy. She called out to Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, pick one and burn the lining of their skirts."

"Watch me!" Miao Miao had been unable to tolerate this for a long time.

The laughter behind her didn't last three seconds before high-pitched shrieks erupted. "Fire! What's going on? Help me pull it off!"

Tu Nan turned around at the end of the corridor. In the hallway behind her, the safety water cannons were accurately dousing the flames.

And so, everything ended with even higher-pitched screams.

The two pig-beast sisters stood there, soaking wet and disheveled, jumping up and down in frustration.

"Mom." Ao Ao tugged on the hem of her skirt.

Tu Nan looked down at him. The little wolf cub said solemnly, "I can go and bite their skirts off right now."

Tu Nan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. Ao Ao was such an opinionated and mischievously wicked child.

"Thank you for wanting to stand up for Mom. But that won't do; it's not very gentlemanly, and you're a boy, so don't do things like that…"

Ao Ao tilted his head.

"Is a gentleman like Uncle Kong?" He was looking for a role model, and Kong Jiamu's temperament was so prominent that even a child could sense it.

Tu Nan felt a bit pained; it was hard to say whether that was right or wrong. But if she had to find someone to use as a benchmark… surely someone like Hain was the true gentleman.

"Listen to Mom… no one is perfect. You need to observe more and think more, and Mom will teach you little by little." The Two Children seemed to half-understand, while Tu Nan felt like her brain was about to explode.

What on earth was she supposed to do now!

That question continued to linger in her mind until noon, when Kong Jiamu invited her to lunch alone, causing the exquisite dishes to taste like wax, as she couldn't taste a thing.

Kong Jiamu noticed her distraction, which was rare.

Tu Nan had always paid close attention to him; her gaze always followed him—Kong Jiamu was very sensitive to that kind of attention.

He enjoyed that gaze full of desire, while simultaneously teasing Tu Nan on the sly, striving to build the atmosphere to a climax once again.

He had to redeem himself; last time had been too terrible. He had to make Tu Nan lose herself and throw herself into his arms once more. It would be soon; he knew it.

But today…

Tu Nan set down her knife and fork. Her somewhat dazed gaze landed on him, across the dining table… and drifted downward. Staring at a spot in the Void Realm, she asked.

"How… how could you possibly be impotent…"

Kong Jiamu spat out a mouthful of wine. He choked and coughed for a long time, and, faced with the suddenly enlightened Tu Nan, he was rarely caught off guard.

"What the hell! What are you talking about!" He was absolutely furious.

Tu Nan remained unmoved by his rudeness; she continued to stare blankly at that spot, staring until even Kong Jiamu began to feel annoyed.

Suddenly, Tu Nan pushed back her chair and stood up, her gaze fixed.

"I'm full. Enjoy your meal."

Leaving him behind, Tu Nan walked out of the restaurant alone.

Although their location was secluded, the commotion still attracted some attention. Kong Jiamu's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he thought viciously.

Just you wait!
