I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 87 Lanze’s Wish

When Qiao Suisui first saw Lanze, if not for those deep blue eyes as melancholic and vacant as the sea, she would have hardly dared to recognize him. Before, he had a slender figure, and his entire being was cold yet quiet, a blend of youthful innocence and an aristocratic prince's demeanor that was unforgettable.

But now, Lanze not only had his hair cut short, making him look much more capable than before, he seemed no longer that easy to talk to, and even the leg that had been injured before could now walk as usual.

Qiao Suisui was overjoyed. "Lanze, where on earth have you been? I've been looking for you for so long."

Lanze smiled apologetically and said, "I told you my whereabouts in the letter, didn't you... receive it?"

"A letter? What letter?"

Before leaving the Auslan Empire, Lanze had entrusted Gamma to pass a letter to her, but it seemed she hadn't received it. That letter not only clearly described his plans for the future but also mentioned some of the future he had seen for Qiao Suisui using his foreknowledge, hoping that she could take precautions in advance.

"It's nothing, it seems there was a problem along the way."

"Lanze, what on earth happened? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

Lanze just smiled and reassured her, "It's all minor things. After the issues with my father and older brother, I wanted to clear my mind."

When Qiao Suisui heard this and was about to ask more, she was interrupted by Zong Fang's displeased voice, "How about I find you two a room so you can catch up properly?" After he finished speaking, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he raised an eyebrow at the man in front of him, thinking he should have just killed him then and there.

Qiao Suisui turned her head to see his expression, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Despite the fact that Lanze had been severely wounded by Zong Fang at the time, there was not a trace of anger on his face now. Instead, he graciously clinked glasses with Qiao Suisui, said 'I won't disturb you,' and then left with a smile.

Now, even if she had many questions in her mind, she had to let them go because of Zong Fang's presence. Qiao Suisui always felt that upon seeing Lanze again, he seemed different somehow.

In the time that followed, Zong Fang took her to the center of the venue, schmoozing with a few people. By schmoozing, it meant that she didn't have to do anything; those who came to clink glasses with her were blocked by Zong Fang, those who took the opportunity to strike up a conversation were intimidated by Zong Fang's look, and those who tried to inquire about her identity and background with insinuations were shut down by Zong Fang's light 'mind your own business.'... In short, after several rounds of mingling, everyone clearly understood that the little female beside Dr. Zong Fang was to be admired from a distance and not to be trifled with.

On the second floor of the venue, behind a red lacquered column, Lanze held a glass of wine in his hand, swirling the olive inside as the liquid turned, just like his mood, fluctuating up and down.

Among the Beastmen present today there were many outstanding individuals, and Lanze couldn't rashly release his spiritual silks. Moreover, the spiritual silks could not get too close to Suisui, because her surroundings were totally enveloped by that man's intense aura; anyone who approached would face a tremendous pressure and would be instantly noticed by him. However, through his spiritual power, Lanze continuously followed Qiao Suisui's figure, feeling her emotions—happiness, calmness, boredom, sleepiness... not missing a single moment of her feelings.

His presence here in Soter today, at this banquet, was no coincidence.

Indeed, after leaving Auslan, he wandered and tempered himself, significantly improving his strength. He first went to the core region of the Freedom Alliance—Kanbukun. He stayed there for quite some time and even acquired his own followers in Kanbukun based on his Talent for foreknowledge.

The Freedom Alliance is a place governed by religion, where the people are warm and simple, and everyone's average belief is in the Beast God. The envoys of the Beast God are respectfully referred to as 'Bishops' and have their own churches.

Somehow it got out that after Lanze used his foreknowledge to change a young man's fate, the residents of Kanbukun started calling him Little Bishop, and they even spontaneously raised money to build a church for him and had Beastmen bring him food daily.

Lanze refused these offerings. He was not born and raised in this land and couldn't accept such gifts. Although he had a status at the Imperial Court that was envied by many, he had rarely interacted with people over the years, so he was very unaccustomed to this. He had intended to leave, but a few days earlier, he overheard one of the believers say that the young master of the Dragon Clan was looking for someone, and that person looked a lot like him.

After understanding the situation, Lanze realized that the person the young master of the Dragon Clan was looking for was indeed himself. After much searching, he finally found out the young master's current whereabouts, which happened to be the small building he had given to Suisui.

When he learned this news, his heart was thrown into disarray. He thought about her at every moment, but Lanze knew well that it was not the time for their reunion, for he had already seen all their future's scenes the first time he met her. Thus, he suppressed the thought of going to find her time after time, became absent-minded all day long, and even started eating the food brought by the believers—things he previously couldn't accept now went unnoticed, his heart constantly battling between 'go find her' and 'it's not the time' back and forth.

Just as the thought of seeing her arose again, Lanze, lost in thought, found himself in front of the Archbishop's cathedral, the gothic architectural style catching him off guard. At the entrance of the cathedral, an elderly man was sweeping.

"Young man, you've finally come."

Lanze looked at him and asked, "Do you know me?"

The other man shook his head, "It should be you who knows me."

Lanze released his spiritual power and carefully observed him, confirming that he had never seen this man before. He politely bid farewell, intending to leave, but his steps came to a sudden halt when he heard the old man's words.

"Don't you want to change your fate?"

"Who are you, really?"

The old man laughed heartily, his demeanor as kindly as a grandfather from next door. Looking at Lanze affectionately, he said, "Child, don't let your Talent bind you; you should master it instead. Remember, fate is an unpredictable happenstance, and your foreknowledge is just one of many versions."

Having said that, he walked into the cathedral with a shaky gait, holding his broom.

Lanze stood in front of the church doors for a long while, mulling over the old man's words and feeling a tumult of shock and excitement.

As his memory returned, the brilliant crystal lights illuminated the second floor, casting half shadows and half light on Lanze, who was hidden behind a pillar. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and upon opening them again, his eyes were obscured with indistinct emotions.

He was not content to keep missing out on her like this. What he had seen about their future that day was—though they had a child together, they ultimately did not become a couple. His non-confrontational nature led him to be forgotten by her soon after, and even when she occasionally remembered him, she would hastily leave due to other men's interference and schemes. In the foreseen future, Lanze spent most of his time waiting, while Qiao Suisui seemed to have only briefly liked him.

Lanze clenched the wine glass in his hand, his drooping eyelashes tender like the wings of a butterfly. He tilted back his head and downed the drink in one go, the corners of his eyes turning red from the alcohol and his stirred emotions.

The bustling brightness below contrasted sharply with the lonely standstill of light and shadow above.

Looking down, Lanze murmured to himself, "If fate can truly be changed, will you love me forever...."
