Chapter 193: Chapter 192: The Little Fish-Raising Expert

Qu Tong had returned to Capital Star aboard Cheng Feng’s fighter, while Rong Chengjue and his sister took a regular spaceship with several other teams.

Upon arrival at the police headquarters, Si Yuting took the elevator upstairs, while Qu Tong was led by Cheng Feng into a separate compartment.

When Cheng Feng emerged, he waved over several officers on duty.

Though Cheng Feng was only one of Si Yuting’s team leaders, his military rank was higher than that of an assistant director of the police headquarters.

The officers approached and respectfully addressed him as "Major."

Cheng Feng said to them in a carefree manner, "The young lady who just came in requested a good-looking young man to interview her. Please make arrangements for her. She’s an important guest of the Palace Commander and Marshal Si. Remember to escort her back safely after taking her statement."

The officers looked at each other, utterly confused.

Someone actually had such a request?

But since Major Cheng Feng had personally instructed them, they had to comply.

After some discussion, they decided, "Let Captain Feng do it. He’s the handsomest among us."

Having received special instructions, the officers even brought Qu Tong a cup of warm water and said with a very friendly smile, "Miss, please wait a moment. We have arranged for our handsomest, which is our team captain, to take your statement."

Qu Tong paused as she was about to pick up the water.

Pfft—did they really find a handsome guy for her?

Meanwhile, Feng Haoran, still on his way back to the station, received a message from his subordinates: [Captain, a beauty insists on being interviewed by the best-looking one at our station. Hurry back!]

Feng Haoran was dumbfounded, suspecting a prank from his subordinates, but he was headed back anyway.

As soon as he arrived, he was briefed by an officer and then ushered to the room for taking statements.

Upon seeing Feng Haoran pushed into the room, Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and greeted with a light smile, "Yo, Captain Feng, it’s you again?"

When Feng Haoran saw Qu Tong, he felt a headache coming, fearing he would blurt out more nonsense, so he said straightforwardly, "Miss Jun Li, please wait a moment. I’ll get someone else, and I guarantee he’ll be just as handsome."

Qu Tong: "..."

That won’t be necessary...

But Feng Haoran had already gone out to call someone.

Before long, the person Feng Haoran described as the most handsome pushed the door open and entered.

It was someone familiar.

Not exactly familiar, but the Sixth Army Corps commander, Feng Lin, whom she had seen during the military league.

Having just left the director’s office, Feng Lin sat down opposite Qu Tong and scanned her neural implant with the device, then complimented, "Miss Jun’s bracelet is very unique."

"Thank you, I think it’s pretty too," Qu Tong replied with a natural smile, touching Qingmu.

Seeing such a confident and forthright display from Qu Tong, Feng Lin took another glance at her, then looked down at the information on his computer and read aloud with an upright demeanor, "Jun Li, 25 years old, Physical Constitution A?"

When he got to "Physical Constitution," Feng Lin looked up again at Qu Tong with a puzzled expression, "I’ve heard that Miss Jun Li can handle a level nine Star Beast on her own. Could your constitution grade be a mistake?"

Qu Tong knew this information was already revealed and admitted frankly, "It should be. That was the data when I was born."

"Alright," Feng Lin didn’t probe further and moved onto the official business, "Could you briefly describe the situation you encountered with the level nine Star Beast at the scene?"

Qu Tong nodded and outlined the events in less than a minute.

The room had special equipment that could convert Qu Tong’s words into electronic documents, so Feng Lin didn’t need to record anything manually.

The interview went smoothly, and Feng Lin printed the statement for Qu Tong, "Okay, Miss Jun Li, there are no issues. Thank you for your cooperation."

"May I leave now?"

"Of course you can," Feng Lin nodded.

He then looked at Qu Tong again, "However, Miss Jun Li, I’ve heard you are an Ability Awakener. I wonder if I might have the honor to spar with you. I am an SS-rank Psychokinesis Ability user."

Feng Lin was very gentlemanly, not coming across as presumptuous at all.

Psychokinesis Ability?

Qu Tong heard this for the first time and became somewhat curious.

But then she thought, "Not this time, maybe next time."

She still had to go back to school for classes, and she didn’t know if Si Yuting would pass by the school on his way home, just in case he impulsively decided to visit her there.

"Shall we add each other on our light brains then?"

"Sure."

After successfully adding each other on their light brains, Qu Tong declined personal escort and left the police station, while Feng Lin took the recorded statements to the director’s office.

The director glanced at the two legion commanders and spoke cautiously, "Once the rest of the statements are in, I’ll have them posted on the official website."

Qu Tong informed Rong Yueqing via her light brain and headed straight back to school.

*

As expected, soon after returning to school, Qu Tong received a message, but it was from the Empress first: [Tongtong, Mother and Niannian miss you. Come to the Imperial Palace with Yuting for a visit tonight.]

It was only two minutes later that she received Si Yuting’s message: [It’s Saturday today, do you have time? Mother says there’s something important, and she wants us to visit the palace together.]

Qu Tong looked at the Empress’s completely different messages to her and to Si Yuting and laughed.

Then she pretended to be very surprised that Si Yuting was back and agreed to come.

Since Si Yuting wasn’t at Yuelan Bay right now, Qu Tong didn’t go back, but directly asked Su Hua and Xuan Ping to pick her up and take her to the palace.

The Empress called both of them to the West Flower Hall and after telling Si Yuting some trivial matters, she sent him off to Emperor Si Chen’s side.

Qu Tong could see the look of frustration on Si Yuting’s face and couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.

Suddenly, Si Yuting turned to look at her, and Qu Tong blinked innocently.

After sending Si Yuting off, the Empress looked at Qu Tong with a smile on her face and waved her over.

"Come here quickly, Tongtong. I’ve already sent for Niannian to come. Let’s go and see the peonies I recently planted first," the Empress said.

Both the Empress and the Crown Princess Consort loved flowers, probably also out of boredom in the Imperial Palace.

The golden peonies were very pretty, a rare breed specifically cultivated by the Agricultural Academy for the Empress.

The Empress told her that this was the last Golden Pavilion Peony in the entire Interstellar.

The Golden Pavilion Peony couldn’t adapt to the environment of the Interstellar, and the one she was holding would soon wither away into the annals of history.

Qu Tong felt it was a pity just as the Empress did, and quietly channeled a bit of her special ability into it, hoping it could live a little longer.

"Empress Auntie!"

From afar, she heard Niannian’s soft, delighted voice.

Qu Tong squatted down to catch the little ball of fluffy cuteness that pounced on her.

"Empress Auntie, look, I’ve taken good care of the fish," Niannian said, poking her head out from Qu Tong’s embrace with a hint of pride.

The maid came over holding Niannian’s glass fishbowl, with the bowl lotus looking more lush than before and several buds blooming.

"Niannian is amazing, a real little fishkeeping expert," Qu Tong praised enthusiastically, while also replenishing the lotus bowl’s vitality.

After playing with Niannian for a while, the Empress asked Qu Tong to stay overnight in the palace.

The Empress gave Qu Tong a knowing look with her foxy eyes, and Qu Tong somewhat helplessly understood the implication.

Still, she agreed.

As expected, Emperor Si Chen had also taken care of Si Yuting on his end.

Meeting at the door, they saw the same helplessness in each other’s eyes, yet Qu Tong was much more composed and went straight into her room.

Si Yuting lingered at the door for a while before he went in.
