The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Let it Bloom Across the Luyi Star Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Let it Bloom Across the Luyi Star The next day, Xu An received a notice from the team captain that they were adding a new member to their team.

Xu An asked around and got so angry his head started throbbing.

Unfortunately, Qu Tong had already returned to the manor, so Xu An could only grit his teeth in frustration and send her a message:
“[Sis, you’ve really got some nerve, now you’re even playing politics.]”
It took a while for Qu Tong to reply: “[Brother, if you could be a little more understanding, why would I have gone to such lengths?]”
Xu An was at a loss for words.

His sister, a freshman who had just started school, hadn’t learned anything yet, lacked any experience, and was in poor physical condition—what was she going to do following them?

Any rational person would disagree with this, right?

He had no idea how she had convinced the captain and team members to agree.

Xu An sighed deeply, withdrew some funds from Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop’s accounts, and went to buy supplies.

Since his sister didn’t have spiritual power, she could only select ordinary weapons.

He had to prepare an abundance of protective gear.

It was inappropriate for a girl to stay in a tent while outdoors; he needed to buy a mobile safe house.

…

On the other side, Qu Tong was dazzled choosing from more than a dozen flying vehicles; she liked them all.

“Madam has great taste. These flying vessels here were all personally designed by His Highness. The three on the right are ladies’ models, although His Highness designed them according to the Empress’s preferences. I wonder if there is one that Madam likes?” offered the butler, presenting the options attentively.

Qu Tong glanced at the three flying machines on the far right—striking red, cool orange, and luxurious purple. She hadn’t expected the gentle and dignified Empress Dowager to prefer such a bold and flamboyant style.

But she was the mother of the nation; she had the right to her preferences.

In the end, she still chose the silver-black flying vehicle on the left, which somewhat resembled Yuting’s. Although its weapons were not as high-grade and it didn’t bear a unique insignia, the interior, though unaltered, was spacious.

Seeing that Qu Tong chose the silver-black vessel, the butler was not disappointed. He said with some relief, “Madam’s taste greatly differs from the Empress Dowager’s and is, in fact, more similar to His Highness’s.”

Qu Tong hummed softly in response, without elaborate explanation.

The Mechas designed by Yuting were all very good, both in performance and appearance.

She just didn’t want to attract too much attention.

After all, too much attention would bring her trouble.

After selecting a flying vehicle, Qu Tong sent a greeting to Yuting to express her thanks, then piloted the vessel directly back to Luyi Star.

To speed up the journey, Qu Tong didn’t pilot the vehicle herself. Instead, she set the destination, adjusted the average speed, and activated the auto-pilot.

She opened the protective shield permissions on her brain-computer interface in advance. The flying vehicle passed directly through the transparent barrier and landed on the open space next to the farm.

The people of Luyi Star had never seen such a high-grade flying machine and craned their necks to get a look.

Li Kun ran out from the farm, his eyes gleaming with envy as he saw Qu Tong disembark from the flying vehicle.

“Wow, Miss, did you go back to inherit the family fortune?”

“Don’t pry into things you shouldn’t know. If you leave your post without permission, watch out or your salary will be docked,” Qu Tong said indifferently, glancing at him before storing the flying machine back into the specialized Space Button.

“Hehe, I’ve just never seen such a cool flying machine before; I’ll get back to work.” Li Kun saw the vehicle being stored away and scuttled back to work.

Xiang Bin and Qu Tong had reported that Li Kun, when working with his two subordinates, was especially hardworking, so they made him responsible for managing a section of robots on his own.

Qu Tong went straight home.

The house had been kept neat and tidy by the robots, just as it had been when she left.

With various fruits and vegetables flourishing in the yard, Qu Tong didn’t have time to tend to them. Instead, she called Xiang Bin in to gather all the ripe produce.

She then went to send a parcel.

Si Yuting had sent her a central control device that included a teleportation portal, although it had never been activated before.

Qu Tong took out an Energy Stone and the previously stored manual from the space, following the instructions to activate the teleportation portal.

After setting it to privacy mode, she first packaged and sent Gong Yun’s potion, and incidentally sent him an extra 10 Sleep-Aid Potions, totalling 60 Sleep-Aid Potions and 60 Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions.

Then she had Adai come over to send out the 50 potions for the customers, according to the order sequence.

Adai was an all-purpose domestic robot capable of many tasks, including delivery and collection of parcels, selected for her by Wen You.

Xiang Bin, summoned into the yard by Qu Tong, was almost stupefied by the sight of the myriad of Energy Plants.

Good heavens! How powerful a secret formula did their boss possess to be able to nurture the plants so well!

All of this is money! Various types of money!

After the shock, Xiang Bin took out a basket he had bought especially for this purpose, and with a mix of excitement and reverence, carefully picked the ripe fruits and vegetables, sorting them by type.

There weren’t many, but they were from more than a dozen different categories.

By the time Qu Tong finished her work and came out, Xiang Bin had just finished harvesting everything and had piled it all onto a small trolley.

Qu Tong took a watermelon from the largest box on the ground and handed it to Xiang Bin.

“For you, thanks for your hard work.”

Xiang Bin accepted it with a surprised delight, “Thank you, boss, this is my job, not hard at all.”

Over the past three months, Qu Tong had come to trust Xiang Bin rather well.

Perhaps he had limited abilities, but he was diligent and honest, so Qu Tong didn’t mind treating her employees well.

Back in her room, Qu Tong took out a packaging box and started packing the fruit.

Since Si Yuting had given her such a fantastic flying device, of course, she had to show her appreciation.

She still had plenty of packaging boxes that Xiang Bin had ordered before in her room.

Qu Tong only packed a few types of fruit, considering that the Admiral was busy and certainly did not have as much idle time as her to cook and prepare meals on his own.

Qu Tong didn’t forget about Wen You and Xiong Lie, despite having given them a bit of trouble, because they were Si Yuting’s subordinates, and it was necessary to get them on her side.

Therefore, she prepared 6 portions or multiples of 6 of everything, except for watermelons and oranges.

Qu Tong packed two containers for Si Yuting alone, then put the remaining five portions into a large box.

When she pulled open the drawer to get a sticky note, she noticed the metal box inside and remembered something she had forgotten.

In her vivid memory, it was the “Qu Tong” 14th birthday present.

It was a gift from “Qu Tong’s” parents, brought back from the battlefield, reportedly a treasured rose seed from Ancient Blue Star.

Fourteen wasn’t a special age, but it was the last time the young girl saw her parents.

Perhaps the girl’s attachment wasn’t to the box, but to the memories of her parents.

Qu Tong opened the box according to the method in her memory, revealing two small brown seeds inside.

Qu Tong went to the yard and placed the two seeds on the soil.

Under the cascade of pale green Special Ability, the small seeds sprouted green shoots, quickly blooming into stunning flowers.

Nurtured by the Special Ability, they reached their most splendid state, breathtakingly beautiful.

The Western Mandala Langa Los and the Twin Roses Cuira.

Let them bloom across the entire Luyi Star.

Qu Tong cut off a branch and returned to her room.
