The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 32: Chapter 31 What is this delicacy of the human world? Chapter 32: Chapter 31 What is this delicacy of the human world? It used to be that nobody cared about Huangxing, but now it’s hers, and she can’t let just anyone come here whenever they want.

She was also planning to develop agriculture here; in the future, this would be her secret base, which she definitely needed to protect well.

Qu Tong brought the person back to her residence.

The safety of the life pod was exceptionally good, impossible to open from the outside unless unlocked from the inside.

Qu Tong had searched through a lot of data online, and only after using the last of her spiritual power to sabotage the life pod’s energy system, forcing it into hibernation mode, was she able to pry open the hatch.

Qu Tong quickly checked the other’s condition.

Their spiritual power was in extreme disarray, normally uncontrollable and wildly lashing out due to the loss of reason, but they were almost in shock because of excessive physical exhaustion.

It was only after opening the life pod that she found, aside from the person’s pale complexion, there was a large impact wound on the back of their head, seeping blood, and one arm was oddly angled, likely broken.

Qu Tong’s spiritual power was now exhausted, making direct treatment impossible; fortunately, the external injuries were not fatal.

Qu Tong took out two bottles of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion from the Space Button and poured them into the other person.

This time, the Spirit Power Potion was a luminescent white with a twinkle of starlight, different from the previous purple one.

After applying medicine to simply stop the bleeding and bandage the wounds, Qu Tong sat by the bed and rubbed her wrists, looking at the person on the bed.

It was still the same face, but the body was completely different.

Could it be her?

After ensuring that the other party was no longer in mortal danger, Qu Tong stood up to cook.

Qu Tong peeled some of the shrimp, pouring half of them back into the small pond next to the vegetable garden.

She marinated the peeled shrimp, then went into the yard to ripen a carrot and pulled up two green onions.

The rice in the Interstellar had not mutated and even became more fragrant and full-bodied, but it did not possess the energy-purifying properties common in other plants.

Taking a few eggs from the Space Button, she started heating oil in the pan.

She poured the eggs, which she hadn’t beaten, into the oil, and waited for the egg whites to set before scrambling the yolks, resulting in fried eggs that were clear and yellow, with an enhanced flavor.

She set aside the fried eggs for later use.

Next, she fried the shrimp until they turned a beautiful golden color and released an inviting aroma.

Then, she added the diced carrots she had cut earlier.

After stir-frying for a while, she added the previously refrigerated cold rice.

Once the rice was separated, she put in the earlier eggs, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and other spices, and stir-fried everything on high heat.

Before taking the dish off the stove, she sprinkled some chopped green onions.

A bowl of fragrant shrimp fried rice was now ready.

Since there were a lot of shrimps, Qu Tong fried two more pots and packed them in boxes.

She prepared one portion to send to her nominal husband to cultivate their relationship, and another to her brother as a token of gratitude.

Out of caution, she only sent a box of strawberries and shrimp fried rice to Si Yuting.

The portion she sent her brother contained several boxes of fruit; after all, Xu An already knew, and she would need to trouble him in the future.

When she returned from the transport point, she also considered how to improve the logistics in the future. It would be best not to leave the house, having the transport point directly at her doorstep instead of always going to the commercial building.

Qu Tong sensed some movement inside the house just as she reached her front door.

Awake?

Qu Tong opened the door with questions in her mind.

A palm strike was hurtling toward her face, but Qu Tong quickly sidestepped and blocked it.

Two more kicks followed in quick succession, as the person spun 360 degrees in the air.

Without using spiritual power, purely grappling skills, Qu Tong wasn’t weak either; after exchanging several moves, she took advantage of the other person’s injured right arm and forced them back.

“Who are you?” a cold voice asked, as the figure opposite Qu Tong watched her warily.

A tinge of disappointment flashed through Qu Tong’s eyes as she responded lightly, “I saved you.”

From the moment she had fought back, Qu Tong knew this person wasn’t Shengsheng.

Not only was their build different, but their personalities were also different.

Shengsheng was much more delicate than she, a gentle girl.

She was a doctor and knew no martial arts.

Of course, why would Shengsheng, who was living well, end up in a situation like her own?

“How did you save me?” The other party relaxed their vigilance quite a bit upon hearing this, but did not fully trust yet.

“You don’t need to know that.”

Compared to the woman’s aloofness, Qu Tong’s attitude was even colder.

Ignoring the woman’s puzzled gaze, she went straight into the kitchen.

Although the woman had woken up, it would take some time before she could use spiritual power again. Her physical strength had not recovered, and after just a few moves, she already felt somewhat breathless, posing no immediate threat.

The woman noticed Qu Tong’s attitude, which wasn’t like this when she first came in. That moment’s gaze was indescribable, joy, worry, hope, all merging into disappointment, coldness.

Sitting on the sofa nearby, the woman was puzzled and didn’t know what to do.

Even though she couldn’t use her spiritual power, she could feel that her Spirit Sea was in a very good condition.

Her shock upon awakening was immense. She was actually still alive, not having become an uncontrollable monster because of a Mental Outburst, dying in despair and anguish.

Why?

Was it really this girl who saved her?

Even the potions from the Alchemist Association couldn’t save her.

Before the woman could figure it out, Qu Tong came out with a plate of fried rice and started eating without bothering about anyone else.

Seeing that she kept staring at her, Qu Tong lifted her eyelids slightly, “If you’re fine now, you can leave.”

Since it wasn’t Shengsheng, she had no intention of keeping anyone around.

Wen You sensed Qu Tong’s intention to send her away, thought for three seconds, and decided not to leave.

Wen You moved from the sofa to sit across the dining table from Qu Tong.

Qu Tong, seeing that the other party had no hostility, didn’t care, and just minded her own business eating.

“My name is Wen You.” Wen You looked at the rice in Qu Tong’s plate and said.

Qu Tong looked up at her.

And then what?

What does that have to do with me?

Wen You saw that she was not recognized and that there was no intention to exchange names.

She could only continue stiffly, “Your food smells very good, can I have some?”

After speaking, she did not forget to throw a flirtatious glance at Qu Tong, revealing a very harmless smile.

Qu Tong: “…”

Qu Tong looked at the face that was almost indistinguishable from Shengsheng’s, stood up, went back to the kitchen, and brought out a new plate and spoon.

She gave her the half of the fried rice she hadn’t touched.

“Thank you.”

Wen You graciously thanked her, then started eating with her still-functional left hand.

Fortunately, it was a spoon, a bit awkward to use, but she managed to eat.

Having taken a bite, Wen You’s eyes lit up.

Wow~
What is this divine delicacy?

So much better than Nutrient Solution.

The shrimp were bouncy and tasted fresh, complementing the fragrant eggs perfectly, the sweet diced radish was like icing on the cake, and the rice grains were distinct and glistening with oil.

Not only did it smell good and look good, but it also tasted even better.

“Little sister, did you make this yourself? The taste is too nice,” Wen You praised excitedly as she ate.

All previous caution had been thrown to the winds.

Qu Tong looked down at her underdeveloped chest.

…

Somberly, she said: “My name is Qu Tong.”

“Oh, don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of your cooking for nothing. Your culinary skills, though simple, could rival the best five-star restaurants on Capital Star. I’ll transfer some Star Coins to you later.”

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak.
