Chapter 168: Chapter 167 On Par with Miss Jun Li

"Whose sister is this, and where’s my big cousin?"

"What the heck are you talking about? What if she’s here to find a prospective partner?"

"Then he’ll have to look for someone else because I really like this one."

"Enough chit-chat, draw your sword; a bunch of people are going down today."

The group was chattering away, and their running pace had slowed down significantly.

Cheng Feng followed Si Yuting out from the base, tugging at his mouth as he watched his soldiers, feeling as though they had completely disgraced him.

"Skywolf Team, pick up the pace, an extra 20 laps for everyone, no exceptions!" Cheng Feng administered a moderate punishment to his soldiers before Si Yuting could speak up.

His sharp gaze signaled them to execute the order immediately.

"Yes!" The soldiers, seeing their captain, quickly shed their disdainful expressions and mournfully picked up the pace.

However, when they chanted their marching slogans, their voices were much louder than usual, as if they were trying to blast someone away.

Cheng Feng: "..."

Si Yuting merely glanced over indifferently and continued walking toward the square outside.

"Your Highness!" As soon as Qu Tong saw Si Yuting, she ran over and hugged his waist.

Watching his spirited wife flit toward him like a butterfly, Si Yuting understood the mischief in Qu Tong’s eyes, but for some reason, he did not dodge this time.

Si Yuting narrowed his eyes, staring at the strands of long hair clinging to his arm, the soft sensation infinitely amplifying from the waist he encircled.

Still not used to it, but not averse to it.

However, when Qu Tong nuzzled against his chest, Si Yuting’s expression changed, and he lifted her off.

Qu Tong blinked her sly and lively almond eyes at him, and Si Yuting cleared his throat, "Let’s go back, it’s windy outside."

"Okay." Qu Tong obediently nodded, her gaze sliding from Si Yuting’s face and catching a faint blush by his ear.

She pressed her lips together in a smile and naturally took Si Yuting’s large hand.

The soldiers who ran two laps and came back glimpsed the scene and almost popped their eyes out.

One of the soldiers nudged the person beside him and joked, "Can you even draw your sword now?"

"Draw a damn, I’ve gone soft."

"C’mon, buddy, don’t be a coward, against the Major General, you’ve at least got a thirty percent chance."

The soldier held his breath and continued, "Three punches from the Major General, and your funeral on the seventh day."

"Hahahaha!" The others laughed unabashedly.

The group ran off, still chuckling.

Qu Tong’s spiritual power wasn’t weak, so of course, she heard what the soldiers said and found it amusing.

Qu Tong had spent time in the military, and if the leadership wasn’t solid, the soldiers wouldn’t be so cheerful and lively.

So even though Si Yuting was cold-natured and strict, he must be quite good in other respects.

Otherwise, how could Wen You and Cheng Feng, one after the other, appear to have the opposite effect, but this group of people stayed upbeat.

Si Yuting took Qu Tong back to the base.

Everyone was training, and at this time, only Jiang Zhou was in the base.

Jiang Zhou knew Qu Tong was coming today, so he specially stepped out of the medical room to welcome her at the entrance.

"Madam, welcome." Jiang Zhou greeted her with a courteous and cultured smile.

"This is our Legion’s medic, Jiang Zhou," Si Yuting introduced him to Qu Tong succinctly.

This was the second time Qu Tong heard such an introduction, but she still pretended not to know him: "Hello, Doctor Zhou."

Jiang Zhou’s expression stiffened before he regained his smile, "The madam is indeed similar to Miss Jun Li."

Qu Tong was also taken aback, cursing herself for speaking too hastily, then quickly put on a playful smile, "Doctor Jiang’s name is too unique, my apologies, my apologies."

Of course, Jiang Zhou couldn’t possibly take offense with Qu Tong, "It’s not a big deal, just a title after all."

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow at Jiang Zhou, it wasn’t like this last time.

The first time you address someone is indeed very important, mess it up once and you’ll subconsciously blurt it out later, she needed to be careful from now on.

Qu Tong went to see Si Yuting and noticed that his expression was indifferent, which reassured her.

When Qu Tong entered the hall, she immediately spotted the green vines in the center, pausing in surprise.

A subtle sensation came from her wrist—it was Qingmu reminding her.

"This plant looks so strange, huh? Does it have any special significance, being planted in the center of your base?" Qu Tong asked tentatively.

Si Yuting followed Qu Tong’s gaze, and seeing her interest, patiently explained.

"This was accidentally encountered on the way back last time. Originally, we had Jiang Zhou research it, but we discovered it has some effects on the Spirit Sea, so we planted it here. Sometimes when soldiers’ Spirit Seas are unstable, suffering from irritability and restlessness, sitting near it helps to alleviate some discomfort."

"Did your research yield any findings?" asked Qu Tong.

Si Yuting shook his head, "No."

That’s good, thankfully she hadn’t assumed it to be related to her special ability.

Qu Tong felt a subtle sense of relief; she had no idea that Qingmu, combined with her own special ability, could be used like this.

Qingmu was born with her Wood-element Ability, as if it shared life with her soul. She could completely control it, yet it seemed to have its own consciousness.

Back when her special ability hadn’t fully recovered, she used a part of Qingmu’s original body. Later, when her ability was drained, she lacked the strength to take it back.

Now she was capable, but the situation might not be easy to reverse.

Si Yuting didn’t notice the change in Qu Tong’s expression and said gently, "I’ll take you to your resting place first."

Qu Tong was led to a medium-sized room, clean and tidy, with a minimalist white decor.

The blanket was neatly folded, bed sheets and covers were pristine white without a single wrinkle, a wardrobe, a desk, two chairs—daily necessities were all present, very much in line with military standards.

There was also a standby robot at the door.

Qu Tong, not having luggage to put away, sat directly on the bed.

Looking around the brand-new room, she licked her lips, tilted her head back with a smile, and asked Si Yuting, "Your Highness, where is your room? Next door?"

She had just walked past and seen that the neighboring rooms were empty, showing no signs of occupancy; she was asking deliberately.

Si Yuting felt somewhat uneasy under Qu Tong’s gaze and paused before replying, "It’s on the other side."

After speaking, he looked down and didn’t see condemnation or hurt in his little wife’s eyes, just a meaningful tease.

Of course, Qu Tong wasn’t planning to do anything. She stood up and walked toward the door: "Then, Your Highness, why don’t you show me your room."

Si Yuting, following behind Qu Tong, had a dark, unreadable look in his eyes. He stepped forward with a tone that suggested intrigue, "Alright."

Qu Tong suddenly remembered that those from Fei Wenxing were supposed to come as well, but it seemed they had not arrived yet, and asked offhandedly, "What about my brothers?"

Si Yuting thought for a moment, then adopted a businesslike tone, "Newcomers start from the most basic."

Qu Tong uttered an "Oh" in response.

Abel Star was all elite; it seemed there was little chance for those from Fei Wenxing to come over. She silently lit a stick of incense for them and wished them good luck.

Qu Tong clasped her hands behind her back, twirled on the tip of her toe, her white skirt swirling out like a blooming flower as she turned and asked with a beaming smile, "So does this count as pulling strings for me?"

Si Yuting’s gaze rested on Qu Tong’s smiling eyes, and he pursed his lips, "Hmm."

His voice emerged deep and husky from his throat, alluring and enticing.
