The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 34: Chapter 33 I’ll Take Care of You Chapter 34: Chapter 33 I’ll Take Care of You After his discussion with Jiang Zhou, Si Yuting looked at the new unread message that topped his communication device and still struggled to adapt.

In the Empire’s laws, the marital relationship supersedes any other social relationship; hence, the brain-computer would by default top-list the registered partner as the first contact in communication.

He had long proposed to annul the marital engagement with the Qu Family, but his mother had not agreed, so the matter dragged on until, due to an unforeseen change, the person was switched.

The other party was still just a young girl who had recently come of age.

Faced with the delicate and soft reply, Si Yuting slightly furrowed his brows.

His slender fingers tapped out a long message.

After a moment of silence, he deleted the entire text.

Lifting his hand, he turned off the brain-computer.

It would be better to clarify things in person.

Given the online reviews of the cheap husband, the Empire’s heartthrob, the aloof War God, a war machine.

Qu Tong had no expectation that the other party would return any message.

After maintaining the arranged marriage for so many years, and now actually married, Qu Wanwan and she hadn’t even met the person once.

While he was busy killing Star Beasts, combating the Insect Clan, capturing Star Thieves, and executing various missions, he never took a minute to entertain romantic feelings.

Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple had been unsealed for several days, but there had been no signs of potions being listed for sale again.

The store’s review section was now open, with comments stacking up layer upon layer.

In a few days, the store’s following had skyrocketed.

The online buzz had not subsided either, with people continuously calling for the store owner’s return.

“When will the owner of God of Wealth Temple list potions again? I’ve waited so long my flowers have wilted.”

“Begging the owner to list products, save my child please!”

“The owner has a temper, probably pissed off by that group of idiots who judged blindly before.”

“Yeah, it’s all the fault of those blind fools. They better come out and apologize.”

“Stop talking, I’ve deeply realized my own mistake. I post an apology every day now. The owner has blocked me, wuwuwu.”

“Wake up, there are so many people on the net, even if it’s listed, how many could actually get it?”

“Such an economical potion, and it’s said to rival the Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion from the Alchemist Association. Do you know how much they charge for one bottle? Starts at 500,000 Star Coins! Starts at that!”

“Comparatively, God of Wealth Temple’s owner is practically doing charity. Such a good owner, what were those who reported thinking?”

“Some people should stop blindly following the crowd. Anyway, I only trust potions from the Alchemist Association; I don’t lack that bit of money.”

“The reviewer Rice Ball personally verified it, I believe it’s real.”

“My Star Coins are ready, just waiting for the owner to list the items.”

“Haha, the owner probably doesn’t need the money, so many people are waiting to throw money at them, and the owner doesn’t care.”

Qu Tong was entirely unaware of the stir on the Star network; with the military’s interest, she was in no hurry to list her potions again.

Although selling potions was profitable, the military’s attention meant she couldn’t just sell them casually.

Her identity had to be closely guarded.

Otherwise, she might be assassinated before her special ability even recovered.

Besides the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, she was also looking for materials to make other potions.

However, with Wen You’s interference, she had to lock up her own laboratory.

Wen You, shameless and persistent, had decided to stay behind, hanging around Qu Tong despite an injured arm.

After several unsuccessful attempts to send her away, and seeing that Wen You knew her boundaries and wasn’t someone she disliked, Qu Tong eventually let her be.

But with an outsider present, Qu Tong’s actions were somewhat restricted.

Nevertheless, Wen You was also quite capable.

Under Wen You’s guidance, Qu Tong acquired a housekeeping robot and several necessary devices.

The house’s central control system was significantly improved, directly connected to Qu Tong’s brain-computer, the main entrance newly equipped with iris recognition access control, surveillance systems installed everywhere except private areas.

Even the vegetable garden now had an automatic irrigation system.

With all these modifications, her wallet had shrunk by half.

Wen You also wanted to improve Qu Tong’s training regimen, but Qu Tong had refused.

Qu Tong wasn’t surprised Wen You came from the military; her neat skills said as much.

She jogged and stretched simply to keep fit, without the need for systematic learning.

She had special abilities and didn’t need much training.

The skills she needed to learn, she had already mastered in her previous life.

Wen You really liked her vegetable garden and would stare at the occasional ripe tomatoes and strawberries every day.

She was even more serious about thinning flowers and leaves, and weeding and pest control than Qu Tong.

Every time Qu Tong cooked, she was also very keen to help.

No matter what Qu Tong made, she ate it with great relish.

As a result, Qu Tong earned a large sum of Star Coins.

Wen You, feeling content, moved a chair under the apple tree, faced the vegetable garden, and sighed,
“Little sister Tong, the air here is so fresh, lying down like this makes my Spirit Sea feel much more comfortable.”

“Oh, is that so?” It was probably because all these plants had been nourished by her spiritual power.

“Little sister Tong, don’t you get bored living here by yourself?”

“Not at all.”

“You’re so good at cooking and growing energy plants, why stay on such a remote star?”

Qu Tong: Of course, it’s because this planet is my own.

“Why don’t you come to the border with me? I’ll take care of you, heh heh. I’ve earned quite a few military achievements and saved a lot of Star Coins. You just need to cook delicious food for me every day.”

She liked the person too, soft and glutinous, obedient and clever; she wondered what it would feel like to hug and bite her.

Qu Tong glanced at Wen You dispassionately, “You, probably can’t afford it.”

“Tsk, you, I can’t afford…” Really?

“Beep beep!”

Suddenly, Qu Tong’s light-computer rang.

Qu Tong tapped it, and a virtual screen popped up showing the surveillance outside her door.

Xu An was standing outside with a strange young man.

Qu Tong then remembered that due to Wen You’s unexpected arrival, she had completely forgotten about finding a cultivator.

And she had forgotten for several days.

Qu Tong operated the intelligent door lock to open it and also got up to meet the guests; Wen You, out of curiosity, also followed along.

“Bro, what brings you here?”

Xu An smiled and wanted to pat Qu Tong’s head, but then realized she had grown quite a bit taller and withdrew his hand.

“The cultivator I helped you find said he couldn’t contact you, so I brought him over. The department has a few days off, so I thought I’d come and see you.”

“This is the cultivator I told you about before, Xiang Bin.”

Xu An introduced him.

“This is my little sister, and she will also be your boss in the future.”

“Hello.”

Xiang Bin greeted politely.

Qu Tong nodded in response.

The young man seemed very tense, with nervousness visible on his face.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m not that scary, am I?” Qu Tong said, teasingly laughing.

Xiang Bin, teased by a girl younger than himself, instantly turned red.

“No, not at all.”

His stutter made both Qu Tong and Wen You smile.

Xu An’s gaze turned to the woman standing beside Qu Tong, much taller and with her right hand in a sling, and found her somewhat familiar.

Qu Tong naturally introduced them.

“Bro, this is my friend, Wen You, she’s recuperating from an injury at my place.”

“This is my brother, Xu An.”

As soon as Qu Tong introduced him, Xu An’s expression flickered as he quickly put the name and person together.

However, Wen You was the first to greet him, “Hello, Little sister Tong’s brother.”

While speaking, she didn’t forget to wink at Xu An.
