The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 265 - 264: Gently Refusing Ha

Chapter 265: Chapter 264: Gently Refusing Ha

The Kasa emperor himself had a high fertility value, and there were many women.

The open and undercover fights among his children were very fierce, but the Kasa emperor either had no energy to manage or tacitly allowed it, in any case, he turned a blind eye.

After hearing Liang Ge’s words, Qu Tong thought of someone who fit Liang Ge’s description perfectly, and he should also know about the potion in Liang Ge’s hands.

"The Second Prince approached me on his own, and I declined politely. I didn’t directly steal their business, but who knew they would be so overbearing, completely disallowing other potion merchants to emerge. Their behavior is exactly like the Alchemist Association," Liang Ge complained angrily.

After finishing, both of them were stunned and exchanged glances, with Liang Ge being the first to voice his suspicions, "The person from the military you’re talking about, it’s not from the Fifth Army, is it?"

Qu Tong pondered thoughtfully, "It’s not impossible."

The commander of the Fifth Army, Lan Xingrui, isn’t he a member of the Alchemist Association?

But hadn’t the Lan Family signed a contract with the military department?

Qu Tong suddenly thought of Wu Yue, whom he had previously encountered, wondering if it might be related to this matter.

Sitting up straight, Liang Ge said seriously, "My trade firm was once sealed off and investigated thoroughly. However, since I was new here and hadn’t had the chance to do anything, it was unsealed after a few days."

Liang Ge had not thought it through before, simply regarding it as jealousy due to his Energy Liquid business being too successful.

If it was just competition and underhanded tactics from peers, that was no big deal; having traveled far and wide, he had encountered such things before, but if the military was backing them, that would be troublesome.

Furthermore, my sister also has a hostile relationship with the Alchemist Association. Thinking of this, opening a branch here seems quite dangerous.

It was fortunate that my sister arrived in time today; otherwise, there is no guarantee they wouldn’t have run into trouble.

"What do you think, sister? Should we move to another planet? There are several planets near the Kasa Empire," Liang Ge said, somewhat panicked.

His own strength wasn’t high, and the bodyguards he could afford were limited; he couldn’t always trouble Sister Ali for help.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and looked at Liang Ge, who wore a pained expression on his face, and said amusedly, "What are you afraid of? Isn’t there someone who promised to help you get settled?"

"This is after all a planet under the jurisdiction of the Canaan Empire. How much can a Kasa prince possibly do?"

Liang Ge was not very confident in the grand promises of that Kasa prince.

Qu Tong didn’t argue; they would see when they met the person.

Upon opening the private room door, when a light pink figure floated over to him like a butterfly, Qu Tong knew his guess was correct.

"Sister Ali, long time no see. No wonder my brother was willing to let me come along today."

Qu Tong looked meaningfully at Rong Chengjue and then turned his head to look at Rong Yueqing’s joyous face, not having the heart to tell her the truth.

Indeed, it had been a long time since he had seen Yueqing; she had been taken away right after her exams and didn’t even attend the summary meeting.

Qu Tong took several kinds of fruits out of the Space Button for Yueqing and also handed a box of lychees to Rong Chengjue and Liang Ge.

Liang Ge was the happiest person there; ever since he had come to this place, the supply of Energy Fruit had been cut off, and heaven knows how much he missed it.

Seeing Liang Ge eating while envying Yueqing, Qu Tong also made arrangements for him.

Liang Ge immediately became excited as if he had won a big prize. Knowing that Qu Tong knew these two people from the Kasa Empire, he went to open another private room to share with other brothers.

Before leaving, he poked his head out from the doorway to add,

"Oh, and sister, I sold the Energy Liquid to him for 3 million a bottle, based on the price that second-level dealer sold to the Kasa Second Prince."

"That exaggerated?" Even prepared, Qu Tong was still shocked by the outrageous price.

Liang Ge nodded sincerely, which was the reason he had asked Qu Tong to come over; the profit was indeed tempting.

"Miss Jun, no need to be surprised. I’ve mentioned before that the Kasa Empire’s potion market is hollow, and high-grade potions are basically smuggled from other countries."

Rong Chengjue’s deep-set eyes curved as he smiled at Qu Tong, "So, do you want to reconsider my offer?"

Qu Tong chuckled, "I’ll have to decline, ha, I’m not short on cash at the moment."

Qu Tong picked up a drink from the table, inserted a straw, and leaned back.

After a sip, her brows furrowed—what a strange taste, like gasoline.

Rong Yueqing immediately handed over a bottle of beverage, "Sister Ali, try this, it’s homemade."

Qu Tong was always open to trying good food and the same went for the icy, clear drink.

Taking a small sip and then a large gulp under Rong Yueqing’s expectant gaze, Qu Tong praised, "Delicious."

It was a fizzy drink with green tangerine flavor, probably made with high-purity energy fruit.

Rong Yueqing, who blushed easily, said bashfully, "I improved it after watching your videos, Sister Ali. If you like it, I’ll give you some more. Just keep in mind, it’s best consumed within three days, whether kept in the fridge or a Space Button."

Rong Yueqing took out seven or eight bottles from her own Space Button and handed them to Qu Tong.

Rong Chengjue didn’t interrupt their trip down memory lane, leisurely peeling the only box of lychees in front of him.

It had to be said that Rong Chengjue had brought the right bargaining chip.

Initially planning to give only 20 potions, Qu Tong increased the number to 30 after hearing Rong Yueqing say, "My brother is very rich."

Qu Tong walked to the window and looked at the figures who had been pacing back and forth below for a while, then tapped the window frame.

At the sound, Rong Chengjue stood up, and Qu Tong gestured outside the window with her chin, "Seventh Prince, let’s see your sincerity."

"Alright, I’ll handle it," Rong Chengjue replied indifferently after a glance at Qu Tong, the corner of his lips curving into a cruel smile, not feeling the slightest bit wrong about taking action in the Canaan Empire.

Qu Tong didn’t know how Rong Chengjue managed to send Rong Yueqing away on his own, but by the time she found Brother Liang, the watchers downstairs had vanished.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qu Tong decided the transaction with Rong Chengjue would go through her directly. Since Rong Chengjue had the freedom to move around in the Canaan Empire, Brother Liang would still get his cut.

The shop would continue as usual, just not involving Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion.

Brother Liang, of course, wholeheartedly approved.

Once the direction was clear, Brother Liang began to selectively screen for clients.

With the information gathered by Brother Liang and considering the recent calm before the storm, Qu Tong easily concluded that Rong Chengjue had been secretly dealing with people, even framing the Second Prince for it.

This resulted in the potion merchants and the Second Prince having a significant dispute, which was only resolved when Lan Xingye stepped in to maintain the relationship.

Brother Liang had spent two Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions just to get this information.

Of course, Qu Tong didn’t let Brother Liang pay out of his own pocket, and even gave him a few extra potions.

She and Brother Liang were now in a full-fledged partnership, requiring investments in manpower and power.

Brother Liang had made her a lot of money and spared her a lot of trouble, so naturally, she wouldn’t be stingy where he might be needed in the future.

With just a glance, Qu Tong saw Wu Yue, dressed as a waiter, enter the private room previously used by the Second Prince of Kasa and Lan Xingrui for negotiations.

She had been considering whether to inform Si Yuting, but it seemed she was overthinking it.

The potion merchants and the Second Prince didn’t trouble Qu Tong for several days that followed, which relieved Brother Liang’s anxious heart.

But the inevitable finally arrived.

On the eve of Qu Tong’s departure, the aircraft she and Brother Liang were on was attacked.
