Chapter 398: Chapter 397 Her Guess

Si Yuting sighed with relief seeing Qu Tong awake.

If Ali hadn’t told him earlier that she would sleep longer due to exhaustion of her spiritual power, he would have worried something had happened to her.

"Husband, you’re still here?" Qu Tong spoke first.

She felt she must have slept quite a long time, Si Yuting only had two days off, and she thought he should have gone back already.

Si Yuting was pleased with Qu Tong’s change in addressing him, walked over, and opened the window, "I postponed it, waiting for you."

"Are you hungry? I made porridge. You’ve slept so long; have some porridge before the nutrient solution."

It was only then that Qu Tong felt her stomach was empty, "How long have I slept?"

"In another six hours, it would be full three days."

After saying that, Si Yuting got up and went downstairs.

Qu Tong stared blankly at the slanting eternal sunlight outside the window, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Something wasn’t right!

She always slept longer when recovering her spiritual power, but this seemed a bit too long.

Moreover, because of the help from the Ancient Ring, she had some spiritual power left.

She should have woken up within two days.

Qu Tong turned on her light brain and glanced at it, the 28th of October 8047 in the Star Calendar, indeed the third day already.

28?

28!

The end of the month was approaching, and her period had not yet arrived!

Her menstrual cycle was supposed to be at the beginning of the month.

Qu Tong tried hard to recall some recent details.

Because her periods were irregular, she hadn’t been too concerned, but even with irregularity, it was just a matter of being a week early or late, not delayed from the beginning to the end of the month without arrival.

Recently, she had been very sleepy; even without using much spiritual power, she would sleep longer than before, and come nighttime she would feel sleepy right on time, hardly able to stay up late at all.

A terrifying thought formed in her mind, didn’t this resemble the symptoms of pregnancy?

Qu Tong couldn’t help but think of the time she vomited after eating raw fish slices; she wondered if that counted as a sign.

Afterward, she never vomited again since she took the medicine Jiang Zhou prescribed.

Jiang Zhou said the medicine was made from traditional herbs and nourished the spleen and stomach, without any side effects on the body.

She would take two pills when she had too much spicy food.

But Si Yuting, he wasn’t supposed to be able to have children, was he?

Qu Tong was bewildered.

Soon, the scent of corn wafted to her nose, stirring her stomach into restlessness along with it.

Looking up, she saw Si Yuting bringing the entire rice cooker up.

Si Yuting cooked the rib and vegetable congee she had taught during her last live broadcast.

Si Yuting served the congee beneficially in front of Qu Tong, "I tasted it this time, it should be alright."

Qu Tong scooped a spoonful sceptically and placed it in her mouth; her eyes instantly lit up.

It wasn’t just alright; it was a bit tastier than what she cooked last time.

Last time she used the quick cook method, while Si Yuting must have simmered it on low heat this time, hence the more mellow and concentrated flavor, the white rice grains fully absorbing the aroma of the ribs, peas, and corn.

Qu Tong gave him a thumbs-up, followed by several more mouthfuls.

Seeing Qu Tong’s enjoyment, the corners of Si Yuting’s mouth lifted as well.

Qu Tong finished two big bowls in one breath, while Si Yuting had one.

Si Yuting hadn’t cooked much, just enough for three bowls.

While Qu Tong was eating, Si Yuting talked to her about what had happened these past few days.

People from Zhongyuan Company had already visited, and now the defense level of Luyi Star was second only to Capital Star and Abel Star.

Even Si Yuting had allowed her to use weapons that were only to be employed on military defense planets.

Normally, these were strictly controlled, but it was all thanks to the contributions Yuan Lao had made to the nation and the military.

With that, even an Insect Clan assault of last time’s scale wouldn’t be a problem to withstand for a day or two.

These past two days, Si Yuting had been quite leisurely on Luyi Star, occasionally working while keeping Qu Tong company or giving guidance to the sixth one on how to improve robots.

Qu Tong listened, nodding from time to time.

Putting down her spoon, Qu Tong looked at Si Yuting, "Your Highness, how long has it been since you’ve had a physical exam?"

Si Yuting didn’t know why Qu Tong suddenly asked this question, but he answered truthfully, "About six months."

He used to have a physical exam once a month.

But since the last time Qu Tong treated him for a Mental Outburst, he hadn’t done any check-ups.

One reason was that his mental state was very good now and didn’t require constant monitoring; another was that the incident with Ali treating the Mental Outburst was not something they wanted to reveal to others.

Qu Tong fell silent.

She suspected that Si Yuting now had a Fertility Value.

She was certain and sure that Si Yuting was the only man for her, unless it happened while she was asleep?

Her vigilance in her sleep was very strong, and to this day, she only felt accustomed to Shengsheng, Wen You, and Si Yuting.

She would still wake up and react defensively if someone else approached her.

But she couldn’t be completely sure yet; it was all just her speculation.

Seeing that Qu Tong remained silent for a long time, Si Yuting voiced his doubt, "Why does Ali suddenly ask this?"

"I’m just worried you might not feel well after stopping your spiritual power suddenly that day," Qu Tong made up an excuse.

Si Yuting was too sharp, and Qu Tong deliberately made a show of asking after his well-being, before asking Si Yuting to wait for her downstairs, as she wanted to freshen up before joining him.

Qu Tong quickly sorted herself out and, hesitating, decided to use her Light Brain to log into an alternate account.

In the search box, she entered the term: "Can Fertility Value be restored after dropping to zero?"

After much searching, she couldn’t find an authoritative and accurate answer.

There were actually institutions that helped to increase Fertility Value on the market, which were very popular and expensive. The Empire also had specialized research institutes dedicated to increasing Fertility Value.

In fact, Fertility Value could be increased somewhat, but not by a large margin. The best method was to find a spouse with a high Fertility Value and naturally conceive the next generation, whose Fertility Value could potentially surpass that of their parents.

While it wasn’t explicitly stated that a zero Fertility Value couldn’t be restored, experimental evidence showed that medications and treatments to increase Fertility Value had far better effects on those with a Fertility Value than on those without.

Experiments had also been conducted on individuals with a Fertility Value of zero, but all had failed. This type of experiment wasn’t cheap, so the nation didn’t continue to waste resources on it.

After all, people whose Fertility Value had dropped to zero were very few, and the handful of failed cases couldn’t support a conclusive finding.

Qu Tong then searched for pregnancy tests.

She discovered that in the interstellar era, pregnancy tests had become smarter with each update.

Not only were they equipped with micro blood sampling needles for testing, but they were also connected to the network...

The price, however, was very affordable, just a few Star Coins each.

And within just minutes, numerous blue-badge accounts contacted her.

Upon checking, they were all warm reminders from renowned hospitals, "Welcome soon-to-be mothers to visit your nearest hospital for a checkup. According to the Empire’s reproduction laws, all pregnancy examination fees are covered by the Gene Bank. If you require an ambulance, please call 0599-XXXX."

Luckily, she used an alternate account.

She underestimated how seriously the interstellar community took newborns.

Even getting a pregnancy test was this complicated.

She needed to think this through, what should she do?

"Ali, are you ready?" Si Yuting’s voice came from the doorway.

Qu Tong instinctively turned off the Light Brain projection.
