The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Keep it to Drink with Your Dog Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Keep it to Drink with Your Dog Wen You tilted her head to gaze at the gentle starlight outside the window, as the breeze rustled the leaves with a slight “shasha” sound.

She never knew that life could be so comfortable on a desolate remote star.

Shedding the shackles of her identity, no need to face schemes from her closest kin, far from the bloodshed of battlefields, and no need to worry about her Spirit Sea always teetering on the brink of collapse.

If she had a choice, she really wished to stay here a little longer.

Every day there was delicious food, fresh Energy Fruit, every day idle yet content, even the air seemed to soothe the soul.

Wen You took a long breath, the hope in her eyes turning into a thick sense of helplessness.

Someone was still waiting for her.

In the end, she dialed the headquarters’ phone number.

With a “ding,” the screen flickered, projecting the tall figure standing before a desk.

“Boss.”

Wen You hadn’t expected Si Yuting to answer the call, slightly surprised.

“Wen You!”

“Sister You!”

Before Si Yuting could speak, several voices called out from beside him.

Cheng Feng’s face appeared directly in front of the camera.

“Wen Dazhuang! You’re still alive, huh?”

“Cheng Dog’s Leftovers, close your dog mouth, your grandma here doesn’t want to hear your barking.”

Upon hearing this nickname, Wen You’s face soured.

Cheng Feng wasn’t angry at all; instead, he raised an eyebrow teasingly:
“Yo, seeing the vigor in you, looks like you won’t be dying anytime soon.”

“If you can’t speak properly, then shut up. Do you think you look smart with your mouth open?”

The others were already accustomed to this.

Several members of the First Army Corps were in a meeting, and just so happened Jiang Zhou was also there, noticing at a glance that Wen You’s condition was pretty good.

“Has your Spirit Sea been relieved?”

Wen You nodded: “Mm.”

“How was it relieved?” Wu Yue asked curiously.

Wen You looked distracted and did not answer.

“What’s your current Mental Outburst value?” Jiang Zhou continued to inquire.

Wen You: “Below 80%.”

Actually, her mental state was better now than it had been for the past few years. Although she hadn’t measured it, she could roughly feel it – it should be below 70%.

This outcome was too unbelievable; even she didn’t know what was going on. The only guess was that it must be related to Qu Tong, which was one of the reasons she chose to stay here.

But, just considering that Qu Tong had saved her life, she wouldn’t ask too much, nor would she talk too much.

“Knock knock!”

Just then, there came a knocking at the door.

Wen You quickly covered the projection and muted it, then voice-controlled the door to open.

Qu Tong was lightly leaning against the wall, her hair soft and black as ink flowing down her back, glancing faintly at the hidden light-brain.

“Kiwi juice, calming and sleep-inducing, would you like a cup?”

Qu Tong took a sip from the half-full glass of green liquid in her hand, raising the other full glass.

“Thank you.” Wen You raised a charming and moving smile.

Everything that came from Qu Tong’s hands was 100% Energy Plant.

How could she refuse?

Wen You sat on the bed without moving.

Qu Tong silently placed the juice on the bedside table and returned a more radiant smile.

“You’re welcome, Sister Jinzhu.”

Then she left the room, closing the door behind her in one fluid motion.

Wen You chuckled lightly, picking up the glass and gently swirling it.

The green liquid swirled, looking utterly delectable.

The projection was switched back on.

Although the other side of the video couldn’t see, they heard every sound that passed through.

Having barely recovered from the astonishment of the miraculous relief from Wen You’s Spirit Sea, I was startled again by the phrase “Sister Jinzhu.”

“Wen Dazhuang, when did you start keeping a young lady, tsk, morals these days…” Cheng Feng spoke up without hesitation.

Wen You rolled her eyes at him.

Can’t be bothered to argue with an idiot.

Brain full of rubbish.

She took a sip of the juice.

Satisfaction~
On the other side of the screen, Si Yuting somehow felt that the voice he had just heard sounded familiar.

Not giving the two of them a chance to continue their argument, Si Yuting’s voice was still sharp, even if it did not match his face.

“So, Major Wen is returning to the team?”

“Yes, Wen You requests to rejoin the Silver Wolf Squad,” Wen You said with a hint of seriousness in her voice.

“Granted.”

“Thank you, Boss. I’ll definitely report back within a week.”

Originally, Wen You had wanted to leave tomorrow, but considering her Mecha had been scrapped and she didn’t have any other Mechas or flyers on hand, she had to extend the time.

Si Yuting let out a light “hmm” and said no more.

The others inevitably came forward to offer their warm regards.

“Sister You, where are you right now? Wasn’t it said that you encountered a squall while inspecting the Mining Star and all communications were lost?” Xiong Lie asked with concern.

Drinking the juice, Wen You smiled carelessly, “Indeed, that must be the news from the Wen Family. But I’m fine, now on a remote star.”

Cheng Feng rudely mocked, “I really don’t see what’s worth returning to in your family, a nest of demons and monsters, not a single peaceful one.”

Wen You slightly lifted the corners of her lips, and for once, didn’t retort, “This time, I do owe them thanks.”

Otherwise, she would have really played into their hands and could only wait to die.

Too bad they couldn’t even wait for her death.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for her.

Mu Ruyan must be livid.

Only Xiong Lie paid attention to the unusual detail, “Sister You, you can get Energy Fruit juice on a remote star?”

Seeing that nothing was really wrong with Wen You, Wu Yue and Cheng Feng did not pry further into her family’s private affairs, instead becoming curious about the things in Wen You’s hands.

Cheng Feng: “Wen Dazhuang, after all these years of camaraderie, you don’t think of sharing the good stuff with us?”

Wen You: “How big do you think your face is, you have the nerve?”

Cheng Feng touched his own face, shamelessly said, “But of course, remember to bring me a cup when you come back.”

He didn’t forget to advertise for himself at the end, “Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you. My family has a new Toona Flavor Energy Liquid out, I’ll treat you to it.”

Wen You thought of the snot-like texture of that flavored drink and her throat tightened, outrightly refusing:
“Forget it, keep that for you and your dog to drink together.”

Cheng Feng: “…”

“Pfft!” Xiong Lie and Wu Yue couldn’t help but laugh indecorously.

However, the Energy Liquid developed by Cheng Feng’s family was known for its peculiar taste.

It’s beyond words~
The mere thought is nauseating~
Snubbed, Cheng Feng glared at the two of them, “Extra training tonight.”

“Fine by me,” the battle maniac Xiong Lie declared confidently.

“You still haven’t been screwed over by this sneaky bastard? You really are thick-headed,” Wu Yue sighed, facepalming.

“You’re not getting away either! What are you laughing at?”

Wu Yue: “…”

Seeing that it was about time, Si Yuting tapped the table and turned off the communication in the meeting room, signaling to continue with the meeting.

After observing for two more weeks the two soldiers who had taken the new medicinal concoction, and combining the messages from the First Army Corps medical academy, the drug appeared to have no side effects.

According to the users, the healing effect was immediate and the process was unprecedentedly gentle, better than any other concoction they had ever tried.

The medical academy had already roughly analyzed the components of the drug, but the exact amounts of each material were yet to be determined.

After tens of thousands of experiments, they ultimately gave up on replicating it.

This result was expected, so there was no disappointment.

The Royal Family and the military department had reached an agreement on certain aspects.
