Chapter 181: Chapter 180: You Have to Call Him Brother Even If You’re Not Married

```

"What happened?" Wu Yue asked.

Chef Niu quickly explained the situation.

When they were preparing lunch, they found that a little boy from who knows where had already eaten more than half of the energy fruits and vegetables, even biting into two heads of cabbage raw.

Chef Niu immediately shouted in anger, trying to catch him, but the boy dodged him and even rolled his eyes at him.

Chef Niu was so angry that he called the apprentice chefs from the back kitchen to help catch him.

Unexpectedly, the boy was very agile, and with a bad temper began tossing things around in the kitchen, creating a complete mess.

"Where did this kid come from in our base? Who brought over this mischievous child?" Chef Niu pointed at the little boy behind Qu Tong with a spoon, his eyes wide with anger.

Embarrassed, Xiong Lie stepped forward: "He was brought back with us during a mission, the general said to bring him back to check his physique, and before we could settle him, the general had an accident."

Xiong Lie squat down, gesturing with the coaxing tone of one talking to a child, "Sai Pu, come over to brother here."

"Uncle, you’re 26 already, still ’brother’." The boy called Sai Pu did not come out from behind Qu Tong, instead he retorted sarcastically.

"Just now, that look in his eyes, that tone of voice, so defiant even when he’s wrong, he really is a mischievous child, infuriating." Chef Niu pointed at Sai Pu.

Since Sai Pu was hiding behind Qu Tong, no one acted rashly.

"What’s wrong with being 26? I’ve told you before, if you’re not married, you still have to call me brother," Xiong Lie glared, pretending to be fierce.

Sai Pu didn’t buy it and snorted coldly through his nose.

Right after snorting, he felt a tightness around the back of his neck.

Sai Pu’s expression changed, and a vicious look flashed in his deep blue eyes. He reflexively reached to grab and showed his two sharp little canines.

When he looked up, he saw the coldness forming in Qu Tong’s drooping apricot eyes and immediately dropped his aggressive stance. A look of ingratiating compliance appeared in his eyes as he obediently allowed Qu Tong to pick him up.

This scene was witnessed only by Qu Tong, who was close enough; to others, Sai Pu was still just a cheeky mischievous child.

Sai Pu steadied himself and tried to grab Qu Tong’s skirt again, but she slapped his hand away.

Sai Pu immediately covered his hand with a pitiful expression, and in a soft, sweet voice called out, "Sister~"

Watching Sai Pu acting so duplicitously, Xiong Lie walked over with a wicked smile like a bad uncle and picked him up, "Little pervert, stop clinging to our sister-in-law. Brother is taking you for a body check-up, and then we’ll have a good talk about compensation."

"Pfft! I’m not going, let go of me."

Sai Pu struggled, but Xiong Lie still carried him away.

As they walked, he lectured, "Do you know how expensive our sister-in-law’s rations are? With your little body, even selling you wouldn’t cover the cost."

Since there was no lunch to eat, everybody had to settle for nutrient solution and energy liquid, all feeling a tad resentful.

Qu Tong took the opportunity to inquire about Sai Pu.

It turns out Sai Pu was someone they encountered on a mission planet and had actively approached Si Yuting, promising to lead them to the missing villagers. However, he wanted Si Yuting to trade him a space button for it.

Si Yuting naturally would not agree. The persistently troublesome child then changed his request to food from Si Yuting’s space button.

This time Si Yuting agreed, as there was nothing much to eat in his space button, mostly energy liquid and some energy fruits given by Qu Tong.

Si Yuting took out a small space button and loaded it with food for him.

"And then, that little brat threw away all of the general’s energy liquid."

```

Speaking of this, the soldier still felt a pang of heartache.

The energy liquid for the general was not the hard-to-swallow kind they had; it was a limited edition developed specifically for SSS psychics by the research institute, with only a few thousand bottles produced each year.

"The little brat is so young, yet acts like he’s so important, completely different from how he just treated you, Madam. Maybe the captain is right; he is just a little pervert who likes pretty young misses like you."

The soldier missed his lunch and held a significant grudge against Sai Pu.

However, Sai Pu truly led Si Yuting and the others to the villagers who had gone missing trying to avoid the Insect Clan, and when asked whose child he was, the villagers said he arrived on their planet with a spaceship crash not long ago.

Si Yuting was preparing to take him back to check his physique.

Qu Tong had more concerns; that kid was full of schemes, so they couldn’t treat him as an ordinary human child.

As for why he showed two different faces to her and to others, she thought he might be like Old Yuan, liking or needing energy plants.

He could sense the contents inside the space button through its barrier, and find ordinary people without energy fluctuations on the vast planet; obviously, there was a problem. Si Yuting probably also thought so, which was why he wanted to bring the kid back.

But Qu Tong didn’t pay too much attention to it; Si Yuting would take care of it himself, she would be leaving in a day anyway.

Meanwhile, Si Yuting, who had just completed a training test, was watching the surveillance in the control room with Jiang Zhou.

Si Yuting’s sharp eyes observed every minute change in the surveillance, everything from his return to lying in the medical pod to the injection of tranquilizers was normal.

Besides, although the Silver Potion given by the Empress helped him through his last Mental Outburst relatively smoothly, actually, even two years ago, the Special Grade Potion from the Alchemist Association had already had a minimal effect on him.

Even after taking the potion, he had to endure a long period of agony, and if he made it through, the outburst value would be reset to the mid-eighty percent.

However, only Jiang Zhou and a few others knew about this, and they hadn’t told the Empress and the rest.

This Mental Outburst came suddenly and left just as unexpectedly, making him wonder if he had actually gone through one.

However, the readings on the detector couldn’t possibly be wrong; his current Mental Outburst value was indeed 89%.

"It’s dropping!" Jiang Zhou stared at the data on the detector in the surveillance, noticing the change immediately.

Si Yuting rewound the surveillance to five minutes earlier and then slowed it down to 0.5 times the speed.

Si Yuting watched as Qu Tong stood by his side for a while after Jiang Zhou left, glanced at his various readings again.

Then she sat next to him, took his hand, seemingly fascinated by how his hand looked, inspecting it back and forth.

The values on the detector started to drop from that moment.

Qu Tong didn’t just watch; she also gently touched the back of his hand, over and over again.

Through the screen, Si Yuting watched Qu Tong’s actions, his eyes deepening.

Jiang Zhou, on the other hand, was wide-eyed, not because of Qu Tong’s movements.

But because the readings on the detector were slowly decreasing, 94%, 93%, 92%... finally settling at 89%.

Then Qu Tong turned her head and looked at the detector’s readings with "puzzlement".

And then Si Yuting woke up, and Jiang Zhou came in too.

After watching in disbelief, Jiang Zhou said, "It can’t really be that Madam’s company is calming your Spirit Sea, can it?"

Si Yuting was also pondering; he had never heard of calming a Mental Outburst in this way.

Being with Qu Tong might not make him feel any calm in his Spirit Sea, but he felt quite good; his little wife was indeed a comforting presence.
