Chapter 186: Chapter 185: After Leaving Through the Back Door, Don’t Forget to Close It

Qu Tong inserted a portion of the grapevine cuttings into the hillside behind the farm, then went to check on the riverbank.

Several of the Seven-leaf Heart plants she had sown had sprouted buds, and the seed sphere that had bloomed before had regrown its leaves.

For a small number of plants, her Wood-element Ability had little effect, such as with ginseng. At most, she could only accelerate its flowering and fruiting, and continuous acceleration would only yield small, few-year-old ginsengs; it was impossible to cultivate century-old ginseng in a short period of time.

The Seven-leaf Heart also belonged to this category, and it seemed that the higher the medicinal value, the weaker the effect of the special ability.

Maybe her Special Ability hadn’t reached that level yet.

Once things were more or less settled, Qu Tong planned to head back directly to Capital Star. If she left in the afternoon, she would arrive tomorrow morning.

Qu Tong went to find Xuan Ping and the others.

"Where did Sai Pu go?" Qu Tong asked.

"I saw him heading towards the breeding ground. I’ll call him back right now," Wan Huai replied.

"No need, I’ll go. You and Xuan Ping bring two hovercars over."

As she spoke, Qu Tong headed to the newly established breeding ground behind the farm.

Through her Wood-element Ability, Qu Tong quickly sensed Sai Pu’s location and directly went to find him.

Sai Pu was different from Xixi and the others. Although they were the same age, they simply couldn’t get along.

It was unclear what kind of family Sai Pu came from, but he was disdainful of adults like Xiong Lie, let alone other children.

From afar, Qu Tong saw Sai Pu stand in the middle of a lawn.

And there were a few sparse little white rabbits in the grass.

A little rabbit hopped in front of Sai Pu, stopping by his feet to sniff around. Sai Pu squatted down, reached under the rabbit’s belly with one hand and lifted the rabbit up.

Qu Tong thought he was going to pet the little rabbit, but saw Sai Pu put his other hand on the rabbit’s head and gently exert pressure.

As the rabbit’s head drooped down, Sai Pu’s eyes were full of indifference, and even revealed hints of cruelty and delight.

Qu Tong was slightly stunned; could this kid be psychologically twisted?

As Sai Pu’s gaze fixed on a second rabbit, Qu Tong promptly called out, "Sai Pu, what are you doing here?"

A flicker of panic crossed Sai Pu’s face and he stood up, hiding his hands behind his back, and cooed, "Sister."

Qu Tong walked over, leisurely folded her arms and asked, "What’s in your hand?"

Blinking his eyes, tears formed in Sai Pu’s blue pupils as he slowly brought the limp rabbit from behind his back, "The bunny stopped moving."

His expression couldn’t be more sad, his tone couldn’t be more innocent.

Qu Tong let out a cold chuckle, the little brat was quite the actor. Why don’t you know why the bunny stopped moving?

Qu Tong’s smile was radiant, "If another dead rabbit ever appears on my planet, you can go back to gnawing on cabbage."

Sai Pu then realized that this woman had clearly seen what had happened.

Before Sai Pu could think of an excuse, Qu Tong turned and walked away.

"Take your dinner and let’s go."

The cool voice entered his ears, Sai Pu opened his mouth in shock; this ruthless woman was actually planning to withhold his dinner.

Seeing Qu Tong walk away, he hurriedly chased after her.

"Sister, I didn’t mean to do it. Who knew that bunnies were so fragile that they would just..."

"Mm, I know," Qu Tong replied in a flat tone.

Sai Pu: "..."

Qu Tong didn’t plan to take the kid back with her; she had to return to school. Although there were people to look after him at Yuelan Bay, if he ran off, with the crowded and diverse population on Capital Star, who knew what might happen.

Wan Huai stayed behind to watch him, and Sai Pu’s activity was limited to within the isolation shield.

She even specifically instructed Old Yuan to help her watch the central control panel, in case Sai Pu got out, he still wouldn’t be able to leave the planet.

Sai Pu tugged at Qu Tong’s skirt hem, blinked hard to make his blue eyes more moist, and looked pitiful, "Sister, are you going to leave me behind?"

"Sister is rather poor, if you follow me you’ll only get to drink nutrient solution, but if you stay here you can eat energy fruits and vegetables every day, which one do you choose?"

Sai Pu instantly saw through Qu Tong’s lie, but he knew this iron-hearted woman really was capable of making him drink the undrinkable nutrient solution every day.

With a turn of his blue eyes and extreme reluctance, he said, "Then I’ll wait for sister to come back."

A smile spread across Qu Tong’s face as she touched Sai Pu’s head.

The spacecraft left Luyi Star, and Xuan Ping and his two companions felt somewhat reluctant to part.

After bringing the people to Yuelan Bay, retrieving the gifts prepared by the Empress, the Crown Princess Consort, and Butler Chi, and expressing her gratitude once again, Qu Tong returned to the school.

As soon as she got back to school, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao came upon hearing the news.

Qu Tong’s dorm room wasn’t very convenient, so they agreed to meet at Drunken Star River.

At first, when Qu Tong saw Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao, she was a bit surprised.

The two of them were noticeably darker, and their temperament had changed a bit.

Hmm! They looked haggard.

When Xu An and the other two also arrived, they found that they were pretty much in the same boat, although Song Ke and Xu An seemed a bit more spirited.

"Did you five get assigned together?" Qu Tong took a sip of orange juice and asked.

As soon as the conversation started, the forced resilience on Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao’s faces collapsed, replaced by a look of deep-seated suffering.

"It’s beyond being assigned together, it’s like we were struck by bad luck, all assigned under my brother’s sadistic subordinate, who drilled us to death." Cheng Yao lamented with gritted teeth.

"It was simply inhuman! You have no idea..."

Fei Wenxing continued, vividly recounting his miserable experiences at the Abel Star affiliated Military Sector Star.

Qu Tong was nearly finished with her juice when Fei Wenxing finally concluded, "I must have been brain-damaged to not understand why I ever thought of joining the First Army Corps!"

They had come back and inquired with Mi Nuo and the upperclassmen to learn that the First Army Corps undertook the most rigorous training among the six legions.

Had they known, they wouldn’t have gone, for although Zhu Jidan’s classes were boring, at least they could sleep, and at most, they would stand to take the class if caught.

At that place, it wasn’t just standing; they also had to walk, run, roll, crawl, jump - all kinds of difficult training, with almost no rest. Every night they would fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed, with no time to binge-watch shows.

Cheng Yao had it even worse, not only enduring physical torment but also facing his brother’s mental mockery.

Qu Tong looked at the other three, "Is it really as bad as they say?"

Although the three didn’t have expressions as rich as Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao’s, they too nodded their heads in unison.

Qu Tong pursed her lips, trying not to laugh too openly.

"Tong sister, you’re really not being fair. After going through the back door, you shut it behind you. We followed and ended up battered and bruised, while you went off to enjoy the good life and duped us into this mess," grumbled Fei Wenxing.

Qu Tong said innocently, "Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know either?"

The group shook their heads together.

I don’t believe you at all.

Qu Tong spread her hands helplessly, "There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me."

Song Ke finally said with a wooden face, "We don’t ask to share in prosperity, but at least to face hardships together. However, if there’s a pitfall, we hope you’d give us a heads up."

"Alright, I promise I will next time," Qu Tong laughed in response.
