The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 266 - 265 Sai Pu Escapes

Chapter 266: Chapter 265 Sai Pu Escapes

The hovercar was forced into the wilderness and ultimately wrecked under the ion cannon, with Qu Tong pulling Lao Liang out before jumping from the vehicle.

"Damn it, wasn’t this area a no-fly zone? How could there be an aircraft, and with weapons at that!" Lao Liang climbed up from the ground, unable to refrain from swearing.

Qu Tong fared a little better than Lao Liang, having stabilized herself when she jumped out.

The aircraft didn’t seem interested in lingering for battle and prepared to turn away after circling in front of them.

Qu Tong’s eyes turned frosty as she pulled a pistol from the space button, firing several shots at the aircraft’s front windshield.

The bullets this time were not ordinary – they could penetrate a spirit power barrier, breaking through the windshield with ease.

The aircraft’s trajectory altered for an instant before it seemed to be forcibly straightened and quickly left Qu Tong’s line of sight.

Qu Tong put away her gun; she could feel that she had hit something, but she didn’t know whom.

"Will they come back?" Lao Liang asked as he approached Qu Tong.

"They probably won’t." Unless they’re seeking death.

"Were they military personnel?" Lao Liang couldn’t help but speculate.

Lao Liang wasn’t too surprised, having visited many remote star planets, he’d encountered a few wayward officials.

Interstellar territory was vast, and the population too large; even with just and incorruptible rulers, it was impossible to oversee everything.

Qu Tong shook her head, suggesting Lao Liang collect the hovercar to see if it could be repaired.

They had no spare hovercar on them, and with the aircraft unusable, they had to walk back.

After this ordeal, Qu Tong advised Lao Liang, "I’ll be returning in a couple of days. Have someone else take over the affairs here. If you run into trouble, you can ask our partners for help. I’ve had issues with the Alchemist Association, and now I’ve probably offended Lan Xingye as well, so I don’t recommend you stay long."

Lao Liang was the type to take advice easily and immediately agreed.

After returning, Qu Tong sent a message to Si Yuting: "Your Highness, I used your gun to shoot someone. Will it cause you any trouble?"

Si Yuting quickly called with a video communication, and the first thing he asked was, "Are you hurt?"

Qu Tong flipped over, lying on the pillow, confidently arching her eyebrows, "Of course not. Who could harm me?"

She then moved the camera away, circling around herself to validate the truth in her statement.

Watching Qu Tong dressed in neat, conservative clothing, Si Yuting felt increasingly certain about a conjecture.

Qu Tong failed to notice Si Yuting’s gaze, leaned closer to the screen, and repeated, "Will it cause you any trouble, Your Highness?"

Si Yuting replied calmly and formally, "You’re the Princess Consort, with the right to bear arms for defense."

"Ha?" Qu Tong was startled, then laughed pleasantly, "Your Highness trusts me that much not to provoke trouble?"

Si Yuting didn’t say yes or no, but arched his eyebrow in response, "So, have you?"

"Of course not," Qu Tong took a turn in her words. "But what if I was using Jun Li’s identity?"

Through the screen, one could clearly see the slyness in the little fox’s eyes.

Si Yuting sighed silently, indulgent as he spoke, "The gun isn’t from the military, and the bullets were the latest make by the Skywolf Legion, not yet released to the public. I’ll have the ordnance department develop the next model."

Qu Tong: That bold?

Indeed, contacting Si Yuting always proved to be the right decision.

Seeing Qu Tong’s joyous and beautifully curved smile, Si Yuting couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips too.

Perhaps he didn’t fully understand his wife, but he could tell that although the young girl was quick to take offense, she did have her own principles in her actions.

The camera shifted slightly, showing Si Yuting accessing his smart brain, apparently dealing with some matter.

Qu Tong observed the background behind Si Yuting and curiously asked, "Your Highness, you’re not on Abel Star?"

"Yes, I’m on a mission outside."

"Alone?"

"Yes."

"Oh~" Qu Tong elongated her tone, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Otherwise, I could have come to accompany you. With such long nights, Your Highness wouldn’t have to be alone."

The intent was to flirt with Si Yuting a bit, without expecting a reply, but to my surprise, the next second I actually received a location sent by Si Yuting.

Qu Tong’s apricot-shaped eyes widened slightly as she checked the location.

Hey! It seems not too far away, just half a day by flyer.

Qu Tong blinked, "But I plan to return to Luyi Star."

"Okay," Si Yuting’s response was still short and simple.

"Is Your Highness’s work important?" Qu Tong asked.

"It’s okay," Si Yuting answered and then added, "You don’t have to worry about disturbing me."

Since Si Yuting said so, Qu Tong no longer felt embarrassed.

She split her light computer screen and chatted with Si Yuting off and on.

"Does Your Highness like Qu Tong a little more, or does he like Jun Li a little more?"

Si Yuting was silent for a moment, then looked at Qu Tong through the screen, "Tongtong and Ali, which name do you prefer?"

Qu Tong was stunned, then she understood Si Yuting’s intention.

What mattered wasn’t which side Si Yuting liked more, but which person she herself wanted to be.

This actually put Qu Tong’s own question to the test.

After pondering for a while, she finally said, "Ali."

Ali was her real name.

Qu Tong was the alias she used for her last task, and it was also the original owner’s name.

The last name Jun was a continuation of the original owner’s mother, Jun Qiurong.

"Okay, Ali."

The deliberately slowed voice entered Qu Tong’s ears, unwittingly revealing a hint of affection.

The night air was cool, and Si Yuting silently tapped on the keyboard.

For quite some time, he didn’t hear that soft voice. Glancing at the projection, he saw that the young girl had already fallen asleep, cuddled in a blanket.

Si Yuting didn’t turn off the video call, but continued his work, occasionally glancing at the peaceful sleeping face on the light screen from the corner of his eye.

When Qu Tong got up the next day, she realized that the chat with Si Yuting from last night actually lasted 5 hours and 45 minutes.

Starting from when the video began, it meant that Si Yuting didn’t turn off the video until 2:50 in the morning.

Qu Tong couldn’t help but wonder if Si Yuting had forgotten to switch it off, and whether she had said anything in her sleep last night.

Qu Tong specifically sent a message to ask, and the answer she got was negative.

Only then did Qu Tong feel at ease.

Liang Ge was extremely efficient, managing everything in just two days, and he even managed to hitch a ride on Qu Tong’s flyer back to Luyi Star.

As soon as they returned to Luyi Star, Liang Ge was like a dog frolicking in the fields, nibbling on strawberries on one side of Qu Tong’s farm and little tomatoes on the other.

Anyway, since the farm was so big, Qu Tong let Liang Ge gorge himself.

After catching up on some sleep and waking up, Qu Tong saw a message from Si Yuting sent an hour before: "Did Sai Pu come looking for you?"

Qu Tong replied with a call in confusion.

Once the call connected, Qu Tong cut to the chase, "What’s wrong, did Sai Pu escape?"

"Yeah."

Qu Tong heard the seriousness in Si Yuting’s voice and answered sincerely, "I just returned to Luyi Star, haven’t seen Sai Pu yet, but I will notify you immediately if there’s any news."

Si Yuting acknowledged with an okay and took the opportunity to tell Qu Tong about the incidents at Abel Star.

Sai Pu took advantage of the opening in the Planetary Shield during last night’s large-scale drill to leave Abel Star.
