Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Don’t Mind Accompanying Your Highness Longer

Qu Tong was slightly surprised; her supply of the Silver Potion was supposed to last three months, so how severe must Si Yuting’s Mental Outburst have been?

Old Yuan’s estimate of two years might even be too long; with bad luck, it might not even last a year.

Jiang Zhou, however, felt that Qu Tong’s reaction was unexpectedly calm, not affecting him whatsoever throughout.

"The general will not wake up within twenty minutes, madam. You can stay with the general for a while. I need to go call someone in," Jiang Zhou said.

After Jiang Zhou had finished explaining some precautions to Qu Tong, he left.

Approaching the medical pod, Qu Tong looked at the man with a stern brow and a cold gaze and felt a surge of tenderness.

Jiang Zhou had told her that if Si Yuting couldn’t regulate himself during this period, when he woke up, he would have to be confined in this control room to get through the Mental Outburst.

It might be an hour, or maybe a day, until his spiritual power was exhausted and the outburst values were stabilized.

The longest time previously was a full three days and three nights.

This man really had endurance.

Sigh~ Behind the glory of the Border War God, how much pain must he bear.

Qu Tong looked at the readings on the nearby machine; the outburst value had already reached 95%, and under normal circumstances, anyone else would have been dead by now.

Gently taking Si Yuting’s hand, Qu Tong noticed a small wound on the back of his hand as if it had been scratched by something inadvertently.

Looking puzzled at the Healing Chamber, she noted it was in a used state.

Making sure he was completely unconscious, she quietly infused special ability into him.

The black Strong Magnetic Controller shone with a metallic luster, limiting only the output of special abilities, not the input.

The small wound also healed quickly with the input of the Wood-element Ability, leaving the skin as perfect as before.

Si Yuting’s hands were not rough. They had a nice shape, slender yet strong, with distinct knuckles; they weren’t as pale and tender as Qu Tong’s, with calluses in the palm and more noticeable ones at the base of the thumb, due to frequent gun holding.

Seeing the machine’s readings enter the yellow range and the outburst value drop to 89%, Qu Tong hesitated over whether to continue inputting special ability.

If it dropped to the safe range, it could be said that Si Yuting had brought it under control himself, but a larger drop might arouse suspicion.

While Qu Tong was hesitating, Si Yuting woke up, feeling his fingertips wrapped in a pair of soft hands, and the owner of the hands "concernedly" staring at the values on the monitor.

Si Yuting quietly observed their entwined hands, his long lashes half-lowering to hide the unusual emotions in his eyes.

Qu Tong felt the hand move in hers, and turning back, she met Si Yuting’s deep, unfathomable eyes, smiling, "You’re awake."

Si Yuting realized that his Mental Outburst seemed to have eased.

This time, it hadn’t lasted very long.

His Spirit Sea was still in a frenzied state, but it was within a range he could endure and control.

Si Yuting sat up from the Healing Chamber, his voice carrying a weakness Qu Tong had never heard before, "I made you worry."

When Jiang Zhou came in grandly with his people, he caught this scene.

Qu Tong’s hand was still holding Si Yuting’s, their eyes locked in a tender gaze.

Everyone held their breath. Xiong Lie cautiously asked Wu Yue, "Boss won’t hurt sister-in-law, will he?"

Xiong Lie’s position didn’t allow him to fully see Si Yuting’s facial expression, so he couldn’t discern the atmosphere.

Jiang Zhou answered on behalf of Wu Yue, "He shouldn’t. The general’s condition seems to have stabilized."

Saying this, Jiang Zhou went to the monitor to calibrate it and ran a new test; it still showed an outburst value of 89%.

Feeling slightly astonished, he thought the time was too short, it had ended before it had fully begun?

With this interruption, Qu Tong also let go of the hand and stepped aside, allowing Xiong Lie and the others to come forward with their concerns.

Si Yuting glanced at Qu Tong and began to remove the Strong Magnetic Controller from his body.

"Boss, what good potion did you use this time? How did it get under control so quickly?" Xiong Lie asked curiously while helping.

Si Yuting also looked toward Jiang Zhou; if he wasn’t mistaken, there was only one dose of the Silver Potion.

Jiang Zhou also reported truthfully, "This time we didn’t use the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion. We just injected the general with the usual calming agent from the research institute and then went to call for others."

"Maybe the general’s endurance has gotten stronger," Jiang Zhou ventured after much deliberation, arriving at a somewhat vague conclusion.

However, Wu Yue turned his gaze to Qu Tong and half-jokingly said, "Perhaps it’s the presence of sister-in-law that improved the healing effect on the general by quite a bit."

Xiong Lie also looked at this time’s only variable, "Could it be that sister-in-law’s comforting actually played a role?"

Qu Tong’s forehead twitched; such a shoddy reason she could think of.

Facing everyone’s surprised and suspicious expressions, Qu Tong also timely displayed a look of astonishment, "Can a mental outburst be alleviated like this?"

Then she turned to Si Yuting and smiled lightly, "If this is really helpful, I don’t mind spending more time with His Highness."

"Oh~" The others teased and laughed in a playful manner.

Si Yuting coughed lightly, and his gaze stopped everyone’s gossiping mindset.

With Qu Tong’s frank "confession" and her completely uninformed performance, the doubts in everyone’s hearts were instantly dispelled.

Si Yuting needed to observe for a while longer and conduct some tests before he let Xiong Lie take Qu Tong out.

Xiong Lie had been long craving the delicious food shared by Wu Yue in the group chat.

The group hurried Qu Tong toward the logistics department.

But before they got close, they heard a commotion erupting from within the logistics department.

Faintly, they could hear several cries of "Catch it!" and "Don’t let it get away!"

The group came to a halt, exchanging puzzled glances.

"Does your base’s logistics have cockroaches and mice?" Qu Tong questioned.

They mainly drank Nutrient Solution and Energy Liquid; they often didn’t cook for days at a time. Under such conditions, could cockroaches and mice even survive?

Xiong Lie and Wu Yue also expressed ignorance and approached to inquire about the situation.

Just as Wu Yue reached the door, it swung open from the inside, and something shot out like a firecracker.

Xiong Lie and the others were startled and quickly reached out to catch it.

The thing made a swift turn and clung to Qu Tong’s leg.

Qu Tong’s eyes turned cold, and she thought to shake the person off.

But she heard a soft, "Sister."

Qu Tong halted her action and said in a clear, cold voice, "Let go."

The one clinging to her leg was a four or five-year-old little boy with a head of silver-grey hair and beautiful deep blue eyes, long eyelashes like feathers, skin white as porcelain, extremely delicate and good-looking.

The little boy shivered and reluctantly let go of Qu Tong’s leg, bowing his head in a crestfallen manner.

Qu Tong coldly observed the little boy’s watery eyes flash a dark gleam as they dropped, and she arched an eyebrow.

Chief Ni and his apprentices, holding spatulas, brooms, and rolling pins, squeezed out from the door.

"Madam! Hand this little brat over to me, and I’ll make sure he’s taught a lesson. He actually stole and ate all of today’s ingredients."

Chief Liu brandished his ladle, his face fuming with anger.

Startled by Chief Ni’s shout, the little boy moved behind Qu Tong, cautiously tugging at the hem of her skirt.
