The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 256 - 255: Touch and Run

Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Touch and Run

Qu Tong did not say much, she just nodded at Xu An, letting the green vines wrap up her wrist before she continued to confront the Insect Clan.

Zhao Qian saw Xu An dispensing potions to other soldiers and cozied up to her, snagging a few for his own men.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng, although not acquainted with Xu An, knew who he was—just a short chat would do to become familiar—so he also took a few potions back with him.

Xu An did not dare to hand out too much, only taking out a couple dozen for everyone to share.

Miss Jun Li had been undertaking mercenary tasks with Xu An, so naturally, no one suspected anything when she took out a couple dozen Energy Liquids.

The Insect Clan’s attack lasted two whole days before it ended; during that time, many soldiers had Mental Outbursts, but since the Legion had been supplying the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion promptly, there weren’t any major difficulties.

Qu Tong’s just-recovered spiritual power was already dwindling, with less than ten percent remaining.

Si Yuting and his group were fine, they had Energy Liquid, while she had to tough it out on her own.

At times like this, she felt extremely frustrated—what was the use of her healing Special Ability if she couldn’t even heal herself?

Qingmu sensed Qu Tong’s disdain, and the pattern in the Misty Rain Bracelet glimmered with a faint green light.

Qu Tong was too lazy to bother with its protest and rubbed her temples before finding a spot to sit down by a flower bed.

The ornamental flowers in the flower bed had long been scattered, with many Insect Clan corpses lying about.

Looking up, she saw Si Yuting, impeccably clean and tidy except for some sweat, without a spot of Insect Clan slime on him.

Such a pity~

Had she known, she would have thrown more wounded Insect Clan members at him when Si Yuting wasn’t paying attention.

Suddenly, Si Yuting turned around, his gaze meeting Qu Tong’s squarely.

Qu Tong immediately switched to a challenging smile, casual yet provoking.

Si Yuting, whether he noticed Qu Tong’s earlier malevolent gaze or not, strode over to her with long steps.

Si Yuting handed Qu Tong a Nutrient Solution.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and extended her hand with a radiant smile, "Thank you, Admiral."

Si Yuting’s eyes were cold, "You’re welcome."

In the end, as if afraid she would refuse, he added, "This is from the lady."

Qu Tong: "..."

Si Yuting noticed Qu Tong’s hand tremble slightly, and the corner of his lips curled up just a touch.

Qu Tong faced Si Yuting’s leisurely gaze, grinding her teeth inwardly, but her smile became even more like the glorious morning sun.

A game of mutual hurt, huh.

Qu Tong accepted the Energy Liquid and did not forget to hook Si Yuting’s hand with hers.

Wasn’t she not supposed to touch him? Well, she touched.

Touch and run.

Si Yuting just glanced at Qu Tong’s retreating figure before withdrawing his hand and turning to board the aircraft.

Although no new Insect Clan would emerge from the Wormhole, they still had to clear out the ones that had escaped nearby.

Qu Tong headed over to Xu An’s side where he and his teammates were dealing with the aftermath alongside people from the Sixth Army Corps.

Looking over the entire city, although they tried their best to protect the buildings, some had still been damaged.

Those who have never witnessed the scenes of war could never understand the shock brought by the ruined walls and the heaps of corpses strewn across the ground.

This time, the Insect Clan came in great numbers, and there were not a few injured.

The wounded soldiers either lay on the ground or leaned against each other in groups of three or five, all with exhaustion etched between their brows, their blood flowing steadily from injuries inflicted by the Insect Clan, some of the blood already turning black.

The medical team was short-handed.

Those who had not yet been attended to had no choice but to endure the pain as they crudely bound their wounds with cloth to prevent excessive bleeding, their technique rough and very unprofessional.

Qu Tong’s brows furrowed slightly; having once belonged to the army, she could not stand idly by.

After all, with nothing else to do and no hotels open for rest,

she wasn’t like Shengsheng, who had a kind heart set on saving lives and aiding the injured; she simply held a sense of gratitude to the organization that had saved her from a desperate situation, and having witnessed their sacrifices for the peace of Red City, she naturally developed a sense of reverence.

Qu Tong approached the logistics area to find the person in charge of medical aid and exchanged a few words to express her willingness to help.

With a shortage of staff after the battle, the person in charge, seeing that she had some medical knowledge, handed her some medical supplies and gave her several instructions.

Qu Tong nodded in agreement with each point.

Qu Tong only did some simple bandaging to stop bleeding; when it came to soldiers wounded by toxic members of the Insect Clan, professional medical personnel were still needed.

However, for those in particularly grave condition, Qu Tong would first administer an antidote and give them a dose of Energy Liquid.

The Energy Liquid contained her spiritual power, and although it couldn’t neutralize the poison, it could delay the spread of the toxins for a while.

After Feng Lin had arranged for the newly assigned laborers to clear away the corpses of the Insect Clan, he saw Qu Tong aiding the injured soldiers.

Qianqian’s hands, usually untouched by worldly grime and noble, were helping the soldiers treat their filthy wounds without a hint of disdain.

In his cold and emotionless face, Feng Lin unexpectedly saw a trace of tenderness.

"Finally done!" Feng Haoran approached Feng Lin and muttered a complaint, "I’m a special police officer who handles cases, and yet you had me killing Insect Clan members."

Seeing that Feng Lin didn’t even spare him a glance, Feng Haoran curiously asked, "Uncle, what are you looking at?"

Following Feng Lin’s gaze, he saw only medical personnel aiding the wounded soldiers, with Miss Jun Li and some local residents among them.

"What do you think about Miss Jun Li becoming your aunt?" Feng Lin asked Feng Haoran.

Feng Haoran’s eyes suddenly widened in shock, "You’re not joking, are you? Miss Jun Li looks much younger than you; you’re already quite old."

Although the records showed Miss Jun Li to be 25 years old, she indeed looked very young,

But her own strength and her powerful aura made it easy to overlook her age.

With a sharp glance from Feng Lin, Feng Haoran instantly shrank his neck and played possum.

Feng Lin was a pragmatic man; with the longevity of interstellar humans, living to over 200 years old like himself was not a problem, so he didn’t see a big age difference as an issue in choosing a marriage partner, as long as it wasn’t half a century.

In the interstellar era, due to the existence of spiritual power and the advancement of medical science, some men with strong spiritual power in their hundreds could look much younger.

They could even marry a just-of-age woman with low spiritual power, and in the end, the woman would die before the man.

The same was true for women with strong spiritual power.

He admired Miss Jun Li’s strength, liked her valiant and heroic bearing, and also liked her gentleness and rationality.

Although they had met only a few times, he just felt she was an excellent candidate for marriage, so he intended to pursue her.

He was just asking casually and did not require an answer.

"But it seems Miss Jun and Marshal Yuting are quite close," Feng Haoran suddenly remarked.

Feng Lin replied, "Marshal Si is already married."

So it was impossible for them to be involved.

Not to mention Marshal Si’s deep devotion to his spouse, based on Si Yuting’s impeccable conduct, nothing could happen between them.

When it came to a person he took an interest in, he always had to try.
