Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Your Highness too, remember to miss me

```

Choices are mutual, with an assessment period every six months.

Six months later, Qu Tong could change if she wanted, and the guard soldier could also return to the legion if they were unwilling.

Qu Tong’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly finding this arrangement a bit inconvenient.

"Is it possible not to choose? I don’t really like having someone follow me."

This time, however, Si Yuting did not indulge Qu Tong and shook his head firmly:

"You cannot. You lack spiritual power and could be in danger at any time. If you don’t want someone following you, you can have them stay at Yuelan Bay and call them when needed. The distance between the Imperial Palace and Abel Star is too far."

Seeing this, Qu Tong didn’t resist any further.

Having almost finished her flower tea, Qu Tong touched the pearl on her neck and said to Si Yuting, "Well then, Your Highness, may I go back now if there’s nothing else?"

Si Yuting’s gaze followed Qu Tong’s movements, lingering just below her collarbones, on her creamy snow-white skin adorned with the enchanting purple pearls—it was unclear who enhanced whom. Perhaps they complemented each other, her slender fingertips gently caressing, making the moment even more pure and enticing.

"Alright."

The man’s voice was slightly deep, but his face maintained absolute calm.

Qu Tong pressed her lips together, circled around the desk to stand in front of Si Yuting, rested one hand on the table, and leaned towards him, changing her tone as she repeated, "I’m really going back, you know."

Si Yuting didn’t dodge. As the soft body leaned closer and strands of her long hair fell onto his neck, her straightforward gaze settled on his face, their breaths within hearing distance, and the atmosphere turned charged with suggestion.

But the imagined scenario did not unfold. Instead, the mischievous girl blew into his ear and then sauntered away with nonchalance.

Si Yuting snapped back to reality, a helpless smile on his lips.

In the silence of the room, Si Yuting opened the marriage registration page and clicked on that familiar picture.

The change was indeed significant.

It wasn’t to say she hadn’t been good-looking before—still delicate and attractive, with an elegant demeanor, only now she was even more radiant and beautiful, her skin even fairer and tenderer.

That night, Wen You and Cheng Feng also returned with their people.

Without a word, Wen You dove under Qu Tong’s covers.

The awakened Qu Tong sat at the edge of her bed holding the covers, her expression quite speechless: "Major Wen, please have some self-respect."

Wen You pulled over a corner of the blanket to cover her lower body, leaning against the headboard and smiling coquettishly, "Aren’t you leaving tomorrow? I was worried you’d miss me, secretly crying under the covers, so I came specially to comfort you."

Qu Tong: "..."

Wen You patted her chest in assurance, "Don’t worry, I asked the boss first. He said he couldn’t make it, so I came over."

Qu Tong sighed and resigned herself to lying down.

It was unknown which of Si Yuting’s considerate subordinates had prepared this room; the bed turned out to be a double-sized one.

*

The sunlight of the season wasn’t too harsh, and the morning carried a hint of coolness.

Qu Tong took out a light shawl from the Space Button, a garment the Empress Dowager had prepared for her.

In the square, four squads, adding up to eight thousand soldiers, had assembled.

The Skywolf Corps had 80,000 men, and only the elite 2,000 from each squad had the opportunity to protect the Princess Consort.

As soon as Qu Tong arrived at the square, several soldiers seized their chance to gather around.

"Madam, I am tall and strong, the most suitable to protect you," a burly soldier declared, pounding his chest.

"No need for you, a braggart. Madam, look at me, look at me, I will protect you!" Another tall soldier pushed his way to the front of Qu Tong.

However, the next moment, the tall soldier’s head was slapped by someone from behind: "What kind of language is that? In front of Madam, how can you speak so rudely!"

Xuan Ping grinned happily, "Madam, please look at me, I am the most civilized among them."

"What are you all doing? Didn’t we agree on a fair competition, that no one would push and shove?" soldiers from the back shouted.

```

"Yes, yes, yes, we have the right to introduce first, you guys are lacking in martial virtue."

Facing everyone’s excessive enthusiasm, Qu Tong found it somewhat hard to cope, but Si Yuting returned and coldly shouted "Line up," which made everyone swiftly form lines in front of Qu Tong.

Eight thousand men stood en masse.

Si Yuting walked up to Qu Tong’s side and issued the command, "Those who are willing to protect my wife, step forward."

The eight thousand men split into two rows, approximately two thousand in one and six thousand in the other.

Si Yuting pointed to the larger group and said to Qu Tong, "You may choose 4-6 individuals."

Qu Tong approached the group of six thousand and noticed that about ten people in the front formed a single row by themselves.

Their faces showed expressions ranging from nervous to proud.

They must be the ones Wen You mentioned last night, the ones Si Yuting had promised back when there was a shortage of the drug; they had the privilege to introduce themselves first.

At that moment, Si Yuting said, "The first row, first column, begin."

The first soldier took a step forward, saluted Qu Tong, then introduced himself with a clear and strong voice:

"Madam, hello, I’m a soldier under Major Wu, called Hu Qing, 25 this year, with handsome features and a very pleasant personality."

"I excel in hand-to-hand combat, ambushes, reconnaissance, and counter-reconnaissance. Furthermore, Madam, you can’t go wrong picking me. I can also pilot aircraft, clean, fix plumbing, and manage..."

Just as Hu Qing was on the verge of listing everything he could do, including eating and drinking, Si Yuting glanced at his brain-link device and interrupted with a cold voice, "Time’s up, next."

Before stepping down, Hu Qing didn’t forget to shout to Qu Tong, "Madam, I can learn anything I don’t know."

Wu Yue walked up to Hu Qing and gave him a well-done look.

Hu Qing immediately beamed with joy.

One after another, the next dozen soldiers each took their turn to introduce themselves, doing their best to showcase their value.

In their hearts, they thought that even though they might not be chosen by the madam, they were still luckier than the thousands behind them who didn’t even get the chance to introduce themselves, so of course, they had to seize the opportunity to perform well.

After the introductions were finished, Qu Tong, complying with the request, chose four individuals, giving face by selecting two from the dozen or so in front—Hu Qing and Wan Huai—and two from those behind—Xuan Ping and Su Hua.

Among the four, only Su Hua was a woman.

The four of them had also just one subordinate each.

Xuan Ping and the others were given half a day off and would return to Capital Star with Qu Tong in the afternoon.

Even during their break, Xuan Ping and his company didn’t forget to stay close to Qu Tong, vigilant against any other soldiers who might try to woo Madam and persuade her to change her mind.

Now with the few of them watching, it wasn’t just a small gap they wouldn’t be able to exploit—they wouldn’t even manage to slip through a mouse hole!

Qu Tong told Si Yuting that she was going to return to Luyi Star first.

Fu Xiangyu had also asked for leave and was quickly granted it.

Si Yuting even specifically assigned a fighter jet for Xuan Ping and his group.

In front of the silver-black fighter jet, Wen You bid farewell to Qu Tong with a lingering grasp of her hand, while Xiong Lie and the other two told her to take care.

Only Si Yuting stood behind, watching expressionlessly.

Qu Tong pulled her hand away from Wen You and ran towards Si Yuting.

Intending to plant a kiss on Si Yuting’s face, she had just tiptoed when she was swiftly blocked by Si Yuting’s quick reflexes.

Si Yuting looked at the little girl pouting and glaring at him playfully, frowning slightly—such public displays of affection.

Si Yuting touched Qu Tong’s head with a reluctantly soft voice, "Be safe."

Qu Tong thought better of it and whispered with a smile, "Your Highness too, remember to miss me."

Si Yuting’s eyes flickered slightly as he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the warm farewell, and no one noticed a figure slipping aboard the spacecraft quickly.
