Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Viewing the Sea of Flowers

By the end of the day, Old Yuan’s research had made no progress, and Qu Tong decided to return to Capital Star.

It was then that she received a communication from Si Yuting.

Qu Tong was surprised and connected.

"Your Highness!"

The sweet voice from the light-brain computer made Yuting’s mood expand pleasantly.

The fatigue from several days of intense work seemed to vanish in an instant.

He hadn’t realized how much he had looked forward to coming home to see her, to hear his young wife’s voice.

Seeing that Yuting hadn’t spoken, Qu Tong added, "Your Highness, did you need something from me?"

"I have something for you," Yuting’s voice always carried a hint of cool detachment.

Qu Tong was a bit surprised but didn’t ask directly what it was; instead, she said, "I’m just about to head back. Please wait for me, Your Highness, just a moment."

Yuting had long learned from Butler Chi that Qu Tong was on Luyi Star and, recalling the note that mentioned her wanting him to see the sea of flowers on Luyi Star, he checked his schedule for the next two days and said, "No need, I’ll come over."

What?

Qu Tong asked subconsciously, "Aren’t you busy, Your Highness?"

After all, even at maximum speed on a flyer, traveling from Capital Star to Luyi Star would take an entire night or a whole day.

She knew that Yuting had returned to Capital Star and that he was busy, so she hadn’t disturbed him these past days.

"I have some free time. Everything has been dealt with. Major Wen and Major Xiong are here, so I don’t need to stay," Yuting answered seriously.

Qu Tong nodded thoughtfully; the military deployment was quite fast, huh?

However, she couldn’t request too much time off, and it seemed more convenient for her to go back.

Just as she was about to say something else, Yuting’s voice came again, "The First Military Academy has suspended classes. You can rest for a couple more days."

Qu Tong checked her light-brain computer and saw that indeed, some instructors from the military academy were called for training, the Mecha Single Soldier Department had suspended classes, and other departments had benefitted as well.

It seemed like she had no reason to refuse, so she agreed and asked Yuting to inform her upon his arrival.

After ending the communication, she went to find Old Yuan.

When Old Yuan heard he had to move to a different place, he was displeased.

"This is a critical moment in my research on the medicine; how can I interrupt it? Can’t I just stay in the lab and not go outside?"

Qu Tong thought it wasn’t okay; if Yuting were just coming and going, it wouldn’t be an issue, but this time he would likely stay for a day or two. With an extra person in the villa, it would be hard to keep it a secret.

Qu Tong gently persuaded, "Even research needs a balance of work and rest, or you could die suddenly from overwork. Take it as a vacation. I can send you Energy Fruit every day. How does that sound?"

Old Yuan glared at Qu Tong grumpily, "Every day you either hope I get dementia or die suddenly."

In the end, Old Yuan compromised and decided to return to E12 Star for a visit.

Old Yuan left overnight, taking his flyer with him.

Qu Tong, with Adai, rearranged the house, and also notified Xiang Bin.

The next morning, while Qu Tong was still sleeping in, she received a message from Yuting.

Qu Tong granted Yuting access permissions and turned over to continue sleeping.

Tang Shigui, who was working on the farm, happened to look up and saw a Black Mecha slicing through the sky and entering the isolation shield of the madam’s villa.

"I think I saw the General’s flyer," Tang Shigui murmured.

Hu Qing, who was helping in the field, looked up, "Where is it?"

Tang Shigui pointed in the direction of Qu Tong’s villa, "It entered the madam’s isolation shield."

"Oh, it doesn’t matter. Anyone who can enter has been allowed by the madam. It’s not odd for the General to come," Hu Qing said indifferently.

In his eyes now, the madam came first, the Energy Fruit second, and the General, perhaps third at best.

Hu Qing and the others couldn’t enter Qu Tong’s isolation shield, so apart from exercising, they spent their time helping to manage the estate, feed rabbits, wild chickens, and the like.

After disembarking from the flying vehicle, Yuting did not see Qu Tong and guessed that she must be resting at this time, so he did not disturb her by going into the villa.

He scanned the courtyard which looked similar to before, only with more variety of plants and a little tidier than last time.

Compared to Yuelan Bay, this place seemed more livable.

Yuting arrived at the edge of the quarantine shield and effortlessly passed through.

Upon exiting, he was met with Sai Pu’s displeased gaze and stopped short.

"You bad uncle, what are you doing here?"

Yuting glanced at him with a cool detachment, "Do I need to explain myself to you when I come?"

"Hmph!" Sai Pu snorted coldly.

He could get in there himself soon enough.

Yuting sized up Sai Pu who had grown taller and wore exquisite, luxurious clothing. His face had filled out a bit, indicating he was eating well here.

"Join me on the trip back to Abel Star later," Yuting commanded.

"Who wants to go back to that lousy planet with you." Sai Pu glared at Yuting and ran off, fuming.

Yuting did not bother to chase him; after all, he was not leaving just yet.

He looked up and was greeted by a vista of flowers as splendid as brocade.

Half flower sea, half farm.

His surprise was no less than that of Xuan Ping and the others when they first arrived, but as someone who habitually restrained his emotions, no trace showed on his face.

He had always known Qu Tong was good with plants and flowers, but he hadn’t expected her to be this impressive.

No wonder she could afford to pay a hundred million in taxes; his little wife was indeed full of surprises.

Xiang Bin had known Yuting was coming and came over excitedly to greet him.

Yuting acknowledged him with a cool nod and declined Xiang Bin’s offer to accompany him.

Xiang Bin had no choice but to return to his work, still looking back excitedly even from a distance.

He could hardly believe his luck seeing War God Your Highness in person, let alone greeting him—a thought he wouldn’t have dared entertain before.

All thanks to the boss! Long live the boss!

Yuting had only walked a few steps when he was spotted by some nearby workers, though none recognized him.

"Wow! What a handsome young man!"

"Coming out of the lady’s villa, could he be one of her relatives?"

A younger one speculated, "I heard that the lady only has a brother for family, and we’ve seen her brother. I tend to think this man resembles the lady’s husband."

"Ah, right! I also heard the lady was already married." another chimed in.

"He looks so stern. Our gentle lady should find a big warm-hearted man, shouldn’t she?"

Although they discussed in hushed tones, no one approached to chat, mainly because Yuting appeared too difficult to approach, his handsome features naturally exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

Yuting naturally heard the discussions in the field but paid them no mind.

He had intended to go and see the flower sea, but in the field, he spotted a few familiar figures.

"General!" Hu Qing and the others spotted Yuting at the same time.

The other old soldiers, who hadn’t noticed, were called by the shout and turned around, overjoyed at the sight.

Yuting was not surprised to see Hu Qing but was somewhat taken aback to see Tang Shigui and about a dozen others.

"What are you doing here?"

As they approached, Yuting asked with a slight frown.

"We’re working for the lady here," Tang Shigui answered with a beaming smile.

Yuting had not expected that when Tang and the others said they wouldn’t need extra living expenses next month because they found an easy job with board included, they had actually come to work for his wife.
