Chapter 185: Chapter 184: You Are Quite Fickle

Having arrived at the place, after a brief introduction, Qu Tong had Xiang Bin take the people to the newly constructed residence.

Nobody asked about the little boy Qu Tong was holding hands with.

Qu Tong had contacted Ji Quan early on, as soon as she knew she was to select Guard Soldiers, to come over and build the houses.

Ji Quan had brought his elderly father along to help her with the work, greeting her with a beaming smile, along with everyone else, as "Miss Qu."

Although Qu Tong was married, she truly wasn’t old.

Qu Tong also felt that this title was more pleasing to the ear than Madam or Princess Consort, and since this was her planet, it was like the daughters of many families who continued to be respectfully addressed as ’Miss’ by the servants when they returned to their parents’ home.

Ji Quan and Qu Tong discussed the expansion of several better residences as they walked—the fact was, she now had plenty of money.

If she ran out of money, she could use Si Yuting’s—he said so himself before.

The isolation shield from the farm had been removed by Qu Tong, now covering the residential area instead, and upon entry, Qu Tong retracted the whip that was binding Sai Pu.

Sai Pu rubbed his slightly reddened wrist, looking at Qu Tong with eager eyes, "Sister, could you give me your whip?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and lifted the whip in her hand, "You like this?"

Sai Pu nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, his eyes full of hope, incredibly adorable.

Qu Tong laughed, "Wan Huai, find a length of hemp rope and tie him up again."

Sai Pu: "..."

"Sure thing," Wan Huai replied, barely holding back his laughter, and swiftly pulled out a rope from the Space Button.

Xuan Ping, seeing this, took out an even thicker rope, grinning, "Use mine."

Sai Pu took a step back, forcing a smile, "No need, sister, I don’t like it anymore."

"Oh, you’re quite fickle," Qu Tong said with a light laugh, waved her hand at the two men, and continued walking toward the residences with Ji Quan and the others.

Sai Pu looked at Qu Tong’s receding figure, resting his chin in thought.

Turning back, he saw Wan Huai and the others laughing joyfully and gave them a disdainful glance.

Qu Tong allowed Xuan Ping and the others to make their own arrangements, telling them they didn’t need to follow her for the next couple of days, and then she returned to her own villa.

Sai Pu was also placed with Wan Huai and Su Hua, as Su Hua was more meticulous and less likely to be fooled by the youngster.

As soon as Qu Tong returned to the villa, Old Yuan welcomed her warmly, his face beaming with a smile, much like Butler Chi’s manner.

However, Qu Tong still tactfully refused Yuan Hewen’s eager request for her help in validating the calculation results, citing that she was busy with other matters.

Yuan Hewen was puzzled as to why Qu Tong had no interest in the matter, no matter how much he tried to entice her.

He was in a hurry but utterly helpless.

The formula couldn’t be disclosed like other medicines; it was the young lady’s treasure.

Fortunately, although the young lady had refused him, she had agreed to help him test the medicine.

With the young lady’s Special Ability, he could now increase the dosage.

Qu Tong continued to have Xiang Bin help with cutting and planting roses; her Special Ability had to be used to cultivate new seedlings, and since she needed it to water so many plants, she didn’t have spare energy to spend on researching potions.

Once she had established a complete system later on, she would no longer need to input her Special Ability so often, only occasionally to replenish it.

When the flowers bloomed across the planet, it should be about done.

After spending two days bringing up all the seedlings needed for Farm Three, Qu Tong still had to purify the Moonlight Grass she had received before.

Thankfully, she had completed a part of it earlier on Abel Star.

Old Yuan’s medicine had also arrived, but it was still necessary to retain some special ability to protect his Spirit Sea to avoid the medicine being too strong and killing him outright.

In their spare time, they had also followed the tutorial sent by Fu Jin and placed the military turrets in appropriate positions, connecting them to the control system.

Qu Tong had received a surprise gift from Old Yuan, and upon seeing the down-to-earth name, the corners of her lips twitched.

However, the item was quite useful to her now.

In her previous life, the term Ability Awakener was nothing but a fantastic notion, so it was impossible for such potions to be in circulation.

But the Interstellar era was different, where potions had nearly become essential to people’s lives.

Although her spiritual power was the best potion, considering how annoying and rampant the Lan Family was, it was still necessary for her to learn about it.

With Old Yuan patiently explaining the basic principles to her, she memorized quite a lot.

Qu Tong stayed in the villa for three days without anyone disturbing her.

Outside the isolation shield.

Following Qu Tong’s instructions, Wan Huai supplied Sai Pu with a vial of Nutrient Solution and two cabbages each day, which left Sai Pu with a face so green it was almost blue.

Despite the abundance of colorful fruits and vegetables available on the farm, which everyone, including Wan Huai, could enjoy, he was only given cabbages and that so-called Nutrient Solution, which was horrendously disgusting to drink.

Therefore, when Qu Tong emerged, Sai Pu’s call of "Sister" was extremely aggrieved, with a trace of deep resentment almost spilling from his blue eyes.

Wan Huai, taking pleasure in Sai Pu’s misfortune, reported to Qu Tong about his condition over the past two days.

Qu Tong was somewhat surprised when she heard that Sai Pu refused to drink the Nutrient Solution, and couldn’t help but give him a second glance, noting that his complexion had darkened a bit and he no longer looked as fine and cute as before.

Qu Tong called Xiang Bin and arranged three meals a day for him.

Sai Pu’s smile bloomed anew, and he tried to cling to Qu Tong’s legs in a sticky manner but ended up with his hands tied by Qu Tong.

Additionally, Qu Tong’s newly purchased hover car and some other necessary items had arrived.

Among them was an extra-large isolation shield, large enough to cover the farm’s entire area.

After activating the isolation shield, Qu Tong no longer asked Wan Huai and Su Hua to watch Sai Pu all the time, an occasional check would suffice.

The row of villas was still under construction, and Ji Quan came to Qu Tong to ask, "Miss Qu, I heard from Manager Ke that you’re also recruiting drivers, may I apply?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow at him, "Aren’t you doing construction anymore?"

Ji Quan gave a simple smile, tinged with bitterness:

"I’m on my own. The craft of building is something my father taught me. Even though I earned my construction certificate, lacking formal education means those construction teams won’t hire someone like me. Aside from the two big orders Miss Qu gave me, I actually haven’t made much money."

"Although construction is my passion and dream, living is also important. I’ve also worked at a friend’s driving service when I had no construction work, so I meet the requirements that Manager Ke posted."

Ji Quan finished speaking and did not forget to add, "And Miss Qu, if you need me, I can still help you build houses."

She and Ji Quan had become familiar through their interactions. Ji Quan was efficient, hardworking, cheerful, and generous. Hiring a driver wasn’t a big deal, so she was willing to give him a chance.

"Go try driving our aircraft with Ke Jun, and if you pass his test, you’re good," she said.

Ji Quan’s face lit up with joy at the news, but then he stammered, "If I get the job, can I, can I..."

Qu Tong guessed what Ji Quan wanted to say by his hesitant manner and said, understandingly, "Yes, you don’t have any other family members besides your father, right?"

Providing one more place to stay wasn’t a big deal anyway.

Ji Quan’s face flushed slightly as he shook his head, "No, there are none."

"Miss Qu, thank you for giving me this opportunity," Ji Quan said with heartfelt gratitude.
