Chapter 166: Chapter 165 I don’t want to attend even one more class of this damn course

Before Qu Tong could respond, Rong Chengjue returned with a drink in hand, pressing a dagger against the greasy man’s chubby neck and asked, "What about your mother?"

The greasy man tried to stand up from his chair with a kick, but was constrained by the dagger at his neck. He managed to raise himself slightly before sitting back down. Without daring to turn his head, he could only glance at Rong Chengjue sideways and started to speak in a trembling voice, "Nothing... It was just a joke I made with the pretty girl."

"Is that so?" Rong Chengjue asked lightly while the dagger in his hand pressed in a fraction deeper.

The greasy man felt a stabbing pain in his neck and a warm liquid slide down his skin, soaking his shirt.

Not only that, but as an A-rank Psychic, he also felt an overwhelming spiritual power pressing down on him, causing his Spirit Sea to tremble with an intense sense of danger.

Scared out of his wits, he began to apologize incoherently:

"Big brother, I’m sorry! I didn’t know the lady was taken. It was all nonsense coming from me, please don’t hold it against me!"

Rong Chengjue suddenly withdrew his spiritual power and tucked the dagger back into his sleeve, saying coldly, "Get lost!"

"Okay, okay, I’m going! I’m going!" The greasy man rolled away, clutching his neck and not daring to look back.

Qu Tong watched the whole scene with indifference, showing no reaction.

She couldn’t tell if Rong Chengjue was trying to scare her or merely acting as a righteous savior on her behalf.

After finishing the last of her drink, Qu Tong stood up and left before Rong Chengjue could take a seat with the chair he found.

Such a boring person.

Rong Chengjue watched Qu Tong’s departing figure and sat down.

He took a sip of his drink, didn’t like the overly sweet taste, and set it aside.

A flicker of confusion passed through his deep, tranquil eyes.

She was usually very easy to get along with in front of Rong Yueqing and even more so in front of Si Yuting, behaving as meek as a kitten.

But she was always so cold towards him.

Was it really just because he had teased her once?

He had said he would compensate her with fish, even offering to buy her an entire aquarium, but she had refused.

Such a vengeful little woman.

Qu Tong went straight back to Yuelan Bay, and Butler Chi, without needing any prompting from her, escorted her to the laboratory to retrieve the Thunder Fire Rock.

Qu Tong felt that Si Yuting was quite thorough in his affairs.

Butler Chi opened a materials warehouse and grandly gestured, "These all belong to His Highness, Madam can take whatever she wants!"

The manner in which he spoke made Qu Tong feel as if Butler Chi was saying, "Madam, all of this is the territory that His Highness has conquered for you!"

Butler Chi, proudly holding a piece of Thunder Fire Rock the size of a fist, introduced it:

"Thunder Fire Rock is only produced from His Highness’s direct-controlled planets. It is an excellent Mecha material, not only hard but also flexible. In the market, a piece of Lapis Lazuli, slightly less effective, this size would cost one million Star Coins."

Looking at the mountainous piles worth hundreds of millions in front of her, Qu Tong’s expression became numb.

She didn’t know what to comment anymore.

When would she be able to inherit this vast family fortune?

Butler Chi, observing Qu Tong’s calm demeanor, silently admired her.

The lady of the house indeed. She was truly devoted to His Highness, not caring about all this money, only loving the man himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qu Tong took five pieces.

Then, she sent Butler Chi away and contacted Master Yan to send a piece of Thunder Fire Rock over.

Back in her room, she habitually checked Jun Li’s cyber-brain after a while and discovered that the Palace Commander had contacted her that morning.

Qu Tong activated the soundproofing function of her room and returned the call.

The Palace Commander picked up the communication and first thanked her profusely, then apologized and explained the situation.

Facing such an unpretentious and kind-hearted elderly person, even if one disregarded the connection to the Royal Family, Qu Tong was still very willing to interact with him.

"This is not your fault, you don’t need to worry about this matter. My master is reasonable and won’t hold a grudge, and moreover, my master has already found a substitute for the ingredient. You can moderately loosen up on the Moonlight Grass."

Qu Tong specifically emphasized the word "moderately," fully implying a hidden message.

Gong Yun naturally got the hint and laughed heartily, "That’s good, that’s good, then we’ll just moderately take some advantage."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Tong began to prepare the potion.

Her spiritual power had only recovered by half, but it was enough to prepare 50 vials of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion; she would need to prepare more for next time.

Qu Tong didn’t take much time to finish preparing the potions and opened up her light brain to enter Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple.

This time, she scanned the comment section and discovered many more "little black fans."

Looking online, she found out that someone was spreading rumors claiming that their potions were made with contaminated Moonlight Grass and were toxic, saying, "Whoever uses them will know."

Anyone could guess who was behind this with their toes.

The rumor spread widely and, together with Qu Tong’s previous purchase of a large amount of contaminated Moonlight Grass, many people indeed started to believe it.

Some aggressive individuals even started to stir up trouble in the comment section of her shop.

Her shop now showed a risk warning, probably because it had been reported by quite a few people. However, this time, because she had previous inspection reports and the reporters had no actual evidence, the shop hadn’t been closed; it just recommended that she regularly send her potions to the quality inspection bureau for checks.

Qu Tong opened the comment section, and whether they were trolls or innocent netizens led astray by the Alchemist Association, anyone attacking her shop was blacklisted.

Qu Tong spent half an hour continuously performing one action, blacklisting thousands of netizens until her fingers were sore.

Qu Tong considered delegating tasks like this to Old Yuan in the future, as she, the big boss, shouldn’t be doing such basic tasks.

She should be sitting in the office and enjoying a cup of tea.

After blacklisting the commenters, her mood greatly improved.

Due to the delay, Qu Tong didn’t wait until 12 o’clock and directly listed the 50 potions for sale.

This time, they didn’t sell out instantly; it took five minutes before they were all snapped up.

Qu Tong was not concerned and didn’t check the online discussions.

She sent the potions through the portal to Luyi Star before the nighttime maintenance and messaged Old Yuan to help with the delivery the next day.

After sorting everything out, Qu Tong went to sleep soundly, and early the next morning, she set out for Abel Star.

Si Yuting had sent her the location long ago and notified her that he had given her spaceship entry permissions, allowing her to go directly to their military base command center.

Meanwhile, on Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao and Song Ke, sitting in the last row of the classroom, were nearly exuding resentment from today’s three theory lessons.

A few minutes hadn’t passed before they were compulsively refreshing their internship applications to see if they had been approved.

How can the War God Your Highness be like this?

Qu Tong’s application had been approved the day before, and she had already left, while theirs were still under review.

When it rains, it pours, and for some reason, the chicken egg lesson today decided to randomly pick on people to answer questions. With both of their minds hanging on the internship approval, they had no idea what the lesson was about and ended up standing through another class.

Finally, after the third theory lesson was over, their internships were approved.

The two: "Beep beep beep beep----"

But still, they called up Xu An, Song Ke, and He Zhou, and promptly flew off without stopping.

They did not want to spend another minute in this school!

And didn’t want to attend another superfluous lesson!
