The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

Inside the Ji family study.

Ji Xinglan sat behind a large desk, with a formal letter from the Zhou family displayed on the screen in front of her.

His fingers tapped lightly twice on the table.

The study door was pushed open, and Ji Shan rushed in.

"Big brother!" she accused, her eyes red-rimmed. "Why is the Zhou family causing us trouble? I didn't do anything wrong! It was Lu Yao who hit me first! She hit me!"

Ji Xinglan looked up at her, her eyes devoid of any emotion, cold and indifferent like a human's gaze.

Ji Shan looked at him nervously, her lips trembling slightly.

"Didn't you know Zhou Jinlu has misogyny and can't have contact with women?" Ji Xinglan said coldly. "You even deliberately hugged him and wouldn't let go when he had an allergic reaction. You weren't just trying to kill him, you were doing it on purpose."

Ji Shan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"I...I didn't..." Her voice trembled as she tried to explain, "I just really wanted him to look at me. He always ignores me, and he's misogynistic. Why can that woman get close to him, but I can't? I'm just not reconciled!"

"Just because you're unwilling to accept this doesn't mean you can disregard other people's wishes?" Ji Xinglan threw the lawyer's letter in her hand in front of her. "Now the Zhou family wants us to provide a reasonable compensation plan. What do you think I should do?"

Ji Shan looked down at the lawyer's letter, the dense text on it making her vision go black.

"I...I don't know, I didn't want to," her voice trailed off. "Big brother, you'll help me, right? I'm your sister, I'm the only girl in the Ji family this generation, I'm still useful."

Ji Xinglan looked at her, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He was like a cold machine, completely devoid of feeling.

"In that case, you will participate in a three-year community service program as a 'public wife.' If you can conceive naturally within these three years, it will be of real benefit to the family. If not, consider this compensation to the Zhou family."

Ji Shan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her expression changed completely.

Becoming a "public wife" means completely losing all agency as a woman during military service.

That's a "community service" that only women who have made mistakes and are unwilling to cooperate with the federal "walking marriage matching" program would do. It provides reproductive services to low-ranking men who cannot obtain partners through normal matching. They face different men every day and have no dignity whatsoever.

"No!" Ji Shan looked at Ji Xinglan in fear, staggering backward. "Big brother, you can't do this to me! I'm the eldest daughter of the Ji family! How could I do such a thing? I need to see Mother and Father; they will never agree to you doing this!"

"They have entrusted this matter entirely to me, and the Zhou family has agreed to the compensation plan." Ji Xinglan was clearly not asking for her opinion, but rather informing her, "Pack your things, I'll send you there tomorrow."

Ji Shan felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"It can't be..." she murmured, her voice trembling. "My mother wouldn't do this to me. I'm her only daughter, and she loved me the most..."

Ji Xinglan looked down at her: "Your mother does love you, but that's only if you're truly useful. Like I said, if you successfully conceive and give birth to a child within three years, you can return to the Ji family and be your young lady again. Isn't that a good deal?"

"Those are all lowly, useless men. How could they possibly impregnate me? Ji Xinglan, you're a heartless monster!"

Even when Ji Shan cursed at her, Ji Xinglan's eyes remained completely unmoved.

"Research has shown that the higher the genetic level, the lower the chance of conception," he said calmly, without any emotional fluctuation. "Then, while lower genetic levels may not produce outstanding individuals, they might allow you to conceive successfully. You can verify this theory for yourself."

"You're insane! You're a complete lunatic! I'm your own sister!"

Ji Xinglan had already gotten up and walked towards the door. Without glancing at Ji Shan crying on the ground again, she instructed the bodyguard outside the door: "Keep an eye on her. Send her to the community service center first thing tomorrow morning for three years. Not a single day less."

"Ji Xinglan! You can't do this to me! Come back! Come back to me!" Ji Shan screamed hysterically, but Ji Xinglan seemed not to hear anything and didn't even pause.

He walked through the corridor and arrived at the door of the tea room next door.

Through the slightly ajar door, the sounds of Wen Ru, the mother, and Zhou Ji'an talking could be heard, and the atmosphere seemed fairly harmonious.

Ji Xinglan stood at the door for a moment, then turned and left.

The next morning, Lu Yao received a message from the Zhou family patriarch.

【Ms. Lu Yao, this is Zhou Ji'an, Jinlu's father. We are very grateful for your protection of Jinlu yesterday. If you hadn't been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable. However, the situation is quite serious this time. Jinlu is still not out of danger, and his allergy symptoms keep recurring. The doctor knows about your special concern for Jinlu. If possible, could you please come to the hospital to visit him? Our Zhou family will be extremely grateful and will repay you handsomely afterward.】

Lu Yao frowned slightly as she looked at the message.

Zhou Jinlu is still not out of danger, and his allergy symptoms keep recurring.

Lu Yao's heart clenched; she had witnessed firsthand the agony Zhou Jinlu suffered during his allergic reaction.

Xie Linyu leaned closer and glanced at her screen.

"Is this for real or fake?" he wondered suspiciously. "Could the Zhou family be trying to trick you into going with this excuse?"

Fu Ciyan walked over, took Lu Yao's terminal and examined it carefully, then opened his own terminal and operated it for a while.

"Zhou Jinlu is indeed still not out of danger." He put down the terminal. "The news from the hospital is that his allergic reaction this time is more severe than ever before, triggering a systemic inflammatory response. He is currently under observation in the intensive care unit. There is no specific medicine for his condition."

"Yaoyao, don't soften your heart because of this. You're not the one who caused all this; it's that young lady from the Ji family." Xie Linyu stared intently at Lu Yao, clearly not wanting her involved in this matter. "So whatever you want to do, the Zhou family should go and hold that person from the Ji family accountable. It's not your place to worry about it."

Fu Ciyan, with one hand in his pocket, said, "That young lady from the Ji family has just been sent to community service for three years."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yao was slightly taken aback, feeling that the words "community service" sounded familiar.

"Public wife." Fu Ciyan uttered these four words, and Lu Yao instantly understood.

The "public wife" label had really provoked her back then, but she never expected that Ji Shan would be personally sent to serve in the military by the Ji family. Didn't that mean she was going to...

"She's not the eldest daughter of the Ji family, how could she be?"
