Chapter 112: Chapter 111 Luyi Star Welcomes Guests

Qu Tong surveyed her own planet and found that, apart from the developed area, other places were still much the same as before.

Unnoticed among the forests and shrubs, in the gravel and hollows, rose branches sprouted tender red new buds.

With a sweep of her hand, countless lives were invigorated; maybe by her next visit, flowers would bloom everywhere.

The variety of trees on the back hill had quietly increased, lush and verdant.

In the expanded courtyard, there was a full circle of Langa Los while Cuira bloomed gracefully on the other side, a sight of incomparable beauty.

Elder Yuan came out to water the plants and was astonished by the scene: "Holy moly, I saw them just budding yesterday. What brand of Growth Liquid is this, to blossom so well?"

Then he took a closer look at the grape trellis on the courtyard wall, immediately rushing over to inspect it closely.

The grapes were crystal clear like Roman Rubies, exuding an enticing sheen, covered in even white frost, round and lustrous, tender and juicy, involuntarily stimulating the production of saliva.

Elder Yuan’s hands rose and fell several times, and when he turned his head, he saw Qu Tong, who was leisurely leaning at the doorway watching him.

His face turned red in an instant, unsure of where to put his hands.

"Apprentice, I want to eat these grapes," he said.

Qu Tong slightly lifted her chin and spoke indifferently, "Mind your words, I am now Prince Yuting’s Princess Consort, and also~"

Qu Tong took a detour: "You haven’t taught me anything; can you really be at peace as my master?"

Once Elder Yuan received Qu Tong’s approval, he didn’t mind her teasing words and eagerly stretched his sinful hands towards the clusters of Roman Rubies.

The elegantly sweet, rich fragrance, full and juicy taste perfectly blended freshness with richness, dancing on the taste buds, making it the most delicious grape Elder Yuan had ever eaten in his life.

Moreover, every time he ate fruits or vegetables grown by Qu Tong, his fragmented Spirit Sea felt a faint warm current, an effect he had never achieved with any medicine before.

"I am a Pharmacist, though temporarily unable to concoct medicines, my mind is still sharp, and I can answer any questions you have about medicinal concoctions," Elder Yuan volunteered contentedly after eating to his heart’s content.

Qu Tong nodded, considering Elder Yuan free labor as she had him help pick grapes, which, of course, he was more than happy to do.

That evening, just as Qu Tong was preparing to go to bed, she received a message from Si Yuting.

She immediately sat up from the bed.

What? He’s almost here?

Why didn’t he say so earlier?

Qu Tong got out of bed, dressed, and went to the central control console to check the monitoring screens of the planetary airspace. Indeed, she saw a red dot approaching.

Qu Tong opened the access rights to the Planetary Shield and, simultaneously, set up alerts for unidentified flying objects.

The all-black warplane stopped where Qu Tong had parked before, and a tall figure emerged from the dimly lit surroundings.

Si Yuting stood erect, this time in a casual shirt, with the buttons all done up to the very top, neat and orderly, accentuating the sensual Adam’s apple, a combination of overwhelming pheromones and distinct discipline giving off an abstinent and cool demeanor.

"Your Highness, when did you come back?" Qu Tong cheerfully approached to greet him, trying to block Si Yuting’s scrutinizing gaze.

However, the height difference between them was too great, and Si Yuting’s gaze easily overlooked Qu Tong’s head and landed in the courtyard.

Even though Qu Tong specifically didn’t turn on the lights in the courtyard, the lights from his aircraft illuminated a corner.

It was a corner full of spring, with rich greenery and a profusion of blossoming flowers.

The extremely delicate and precious rose species flourished here in abundance.

Si Yuting withdrew his gaze and looked down at his petite wife in front of him, answering Qu Tong’s previous question, "Today."

"What brings Your Highness here?" Qu Tong slightly tilted her head.

"I was originally cruising around a few third-level stars, and the Empress asked me to pick you up on my way," Si Yuting replied without much inflection.

"Oh." So that was it.

Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong, who was still standing in front of him, and politely asked, "When would you like to return? Do you need to rest for a couple of days?"

"No need, I can leave now. I’ve packed everything," Qu Tong answered without hesitation.

If Si Yuting found out that Elder Yuan was here with her, that would spell trouble.

Si Yuting’s eyebrows slightly raised as he observed Qu Tong for a while, then said, "Fine."

Then he gestured Qu Tong onto the flying vehicle.

This wasn’t Qu Tong’s first time on Si Yuting’s flying vehicle; she was well acquainted with it.

Having used her special ability quite a bit these past few days, Qu Tong felt drowsy soon after sitting in the co-pilot’s seat.

Yet, she felt uneasy under a gaze that seemed both present and absent, and she opened her eyes, puzzled, to meet Si Yuting’s narrow ones.

"Your Highness?"

The soft, cat-like call carried an electric current that brushed past his ear, gently scratching at his heart, causing the movement of his hands to unconsciously pause.

After a while, Si Yuting shifted his gaze away, his voice low and deep, "I still have a patrol mission to complete. I might need to take a detour. You can go to your room and sleep."

"Alright~" With a bed to sleep in, Qu Tong certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Si Yuting casually glanced at the figure from the corner of his eye, his face betraying no ripples, as if the moment of anomaly had never occurred.

*

Qu Tong slept very deeply, only to be woken by the sound of a doorbell outside. She then opened her eyes in a daze and sat up.

The door to the compartment wasn’t closed. Si Yuting paused at the door before entering.

"We have arrived," Si Yuting said as he approached.

Qu Tong wasn’t fully awake yet, her mind still foggy, and she just stared at Si Yuting as he slowly approached and extended his hand to her.

Qu Tong: ??

In her confusion, Qu Tong placed her hand in Si Yuting’s palm, looking up at him.

A warm and smooth touch came from Si Yuting’s palm, causing her body to stiffen slightly.

Meeting Qu Tong’s clear yet bewildered eyes, he suddenly chuckled softly.

Hearing the laughter, Qu Tong followed Si Yuting’s gaze and turned her head, seeing the black jacket that she had accidentally squashed down on one side. She suddenly understood.

With her face blushing, Qu Tong withdrew her hand.

But halfway through, Si Yuting caught her fingertips, then turned her wrist to hold her entire hand in his palm.

Bending down to pick up the jacket with his other hand, while slightly tightening his grip on hers, his voice was low and pleasant, "Let’s go."

Her small hand held by a pair of warm, large palms, Qu Tong felt a small shock.

She just let Si Yuting lead her out of the flying vehicle.

As they reached the hatch, however, they were greeted by a figure of elegant and noble poise.

"Tong Tong, Yuting, welcome back," the Empress greeted them with a smile.

"Welcome back, Prince Yuting and Madam," said the butler, following suit.

"Mother," Qu Tong didn’t expect the Empress to come too, and replied with her usual smile.

This was the first time she had addressed the Empress Dowager as mother in front of Si Yuting, which made her feel a little awkward.

Si Yuting was much colder, merely acknowledging with a slight hum.

Yet both the Empress and the butler, seeing Si Yuting holding Qu Tong’s hand, wore especially radiant smiles.

Especially Butler Chi, his face creased with laughter; one might think he had just won several millions in a prize.
