Chapter 270: Chapter 269: The Overlooked Photography Master

The sound of flipping through documents arose, and Qu Tong waited patiently.

After a while, Si Yuting’s voice finally came again, "Based on the lifespan of the Insect Clan, Sai Pu should be over 200 years old. As to why he appears as a five-year-old human child, that is still unknown."

"200 years..." A chill ran down Qu Tong’s spine.

Can you imagine a two-hundred-year-old toddler calling you sister, acting coquettishly towards you?

An old cucumber painted green, pretending to be young, and not just a little.

"Sai Pu’s data is somewhat closer to the Bug Emperor, but not quite the same. The matter is still under investigation. Just the hatching of a Bug Emperor takes decades, and they grow incredibly slowly afterward. If measured by mental level, 200 years of the Insect Clan might only equate to being in their twenties or thirties in human years," Si Yuting shared some in-depth knowledge with Qu Tong.

"Oh."

After hearing the explanation, Qu Tong felt a bit more accepting.

Initially, she had found Sai Pu rather perplexing in many ways, but now it was easy to make sense of it.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Qu Tong checked the Light Brain to make sure it was still connected.

"Your Highness?"

"I’m here."

"Your Highness, are you busy?" Qu Tong asked, ready to hang up if he was.

"No."

Si Yuting pondered for a moment, "I need to return to Abel Star."

"Oh?"

So, was Si Yuting just struggling with how to break this "bad news" to her?

Was he afraid that she would be sad or angry?

She suddenly thought her prince was somewhat cute.

Actually, not at all.

After all, Si Yuting had been back on Capital Star for a month and hadn’t visited Yuelan Bay even once.

She was a bit clingy only when in front of Si Yuting, but that wouldn’t continue when they were apart, and it would not interfere with his work.

Thinking that Qu Tong hadn’t heard clearly, Si Yuting repeated it, his cool voice carrying a slight hint of apology.

Qu Tong wanted to say that she really wasn’t that delicate, but changed what she was about to say to, "Your Highness, make a trip back to Yuelan Bay."

There was a pause on the other end, "Okay."

An hour later, the Black Mecha landed on the spacious lawn of Yuelan Bay.

Butler Chi had wisely cleared the area in advance.

Although he missed the prince deeply, the prince surely missed his wife more.

When the softly fragrant little wife threw herself into his arms, Si Yuting felt his heart throb.

Qu Tong raised her head and could just reach Si Yuting’s chin, seeming a bit taller.

Qu Tong rubbed affectionately, and Si Yuting didn’t stop her.

After hugging, touching, and rubbing, Qu Tong finally moved back.

"I don’t have any small Space Buttons left, Your Highness. Give me one," Qu Tong reached out to Si Yuting, her actions appearing confidently self-assured.

Si Yuting instantly took out a dozen and placed them in Qu Tong’s fair palm.

Qu Tong didn’t hesitate, keeping them all.

Taking one, Qu Tong transferred items from her own Space Button.

Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, Energy Liquid, Sleep-Aid Potion; she took some of those since Si Yuting was aware and she wasn’t lacking. She felt it was worthwhile for the frontier warriors of the First Legion.

Then the fruits, knowing Si Yuting barely had time to cook, she skipped the vegetables and packed only ready-to-eat items, including a fridge.

She also reminded, "Your Highness, remember to eat when you have time. Didn’t the Agricultural Science Institute say that eating more can soothe the Spirit Sea, reducing the frequency of Mental Outbursts?"

Si Yuting watched Qu Tong preparing to look after him, his usually cold eyes unconsciously showing a slight smile, "Okay."

Qu Tong, looking down, didn’t catch the affection in Si Yuting’s eyes, finishing by stuffing a bottle of homemade wine into the haul.

"Last time I said I’d treat Your Highness to a drink, but you were too busy, so I brought it back for you to drink. It tastes better with ice."

"Okay."

"I don’t have that many elixirs on me right now. I’ll write you more when I get back later."

"Okay."

Actually, his little wife had not even used up the elixir she gave him last time.

Qu Tong handed the Space Button to Si Yuting.

Looking up and seeing Si Yuting staring at his face, he raised an eyebrow and leaned in a bit with a slight tilt of his head.

The kiss did not land on the lips. Si Yuting’s big hand gently pressed down Qu Tong’s head, and a slightly cool kiss landed on Qu Tong’s forehead.

With a brief contact, Si Yuting turned and boarded the aircraft.

Qu Tong shook his head, what a stubborn prince.

Qu Tong turned around and caught the eye of Butler Chi peeking through the door.

Qu Tong: "..."

Despite Butler Chi’s age, his facial cells were still so active, perfectly capturing the awkwardness and helplessness.

After staring blankly at each other for a while, Qu Tong chuckled.

Just before turning to go upstairs, he didn’t forget to look back: "Remember to share the photo with me~"

Butler Chi’s expression instantly brightened: "Yes, ma’am!"

Qu Tong was quite impressed by Butler Chi’s ability to take such a beautiful photo through the door slit.

The lighting was just right, Si Yuting’s handsome profile was perfectly captured, and although Qu Tong’s face was half-covered by Si Yuting’s hand, it did not affect the warmth of the scene.

From that one angle, in just a second or two, Butler Chi took seven photos...

Qu Tong picked one and sent it to Si Yuting.

The notification of Si Yuting’s recent transfer appeared, no need to accept, it had already been automatically deposited into her account.

Qu Tong drafted a message: [Uncle Chi is an undiscovered master photographer because of you.]

Si Yuting opened the photo, examined it for a while, then pressed and held to save it.

Then, reading the message below, Si Yuting remembered the many early unsuccessful works in Uncle Chi’s Light Brain memory, all about him, and hesitated about how to respond to this message.

In the end, he replied stiffly, "I haven’t buried his talents."

Fortunately, Qu Tong did not pursue further and began complaining to him about the hassle of reading reports.

Si Yuting recommended his work software to her and once again received a soft and cute emoji pack from his little wife.

The next day, Qu Tong heard that Niannian had gotten injured from falling off a hover car while playing recklessly.

Qu Tong took Butler Chi with him to the palace.

Outside the medical room, the Crown Princess Consort and the Empress were waiting, their expressions not too worried.

Qu Tong greeted them and casually asked about the situation.

"It’s just a scrape on the thigh, nothing serious, it’s already been bandaged. We’re just doing a checkup to see if there’s anything else," the Crown Princess Consort explained carefully.

Qu Tong nodded, then joined everyone else waiting outside.

The light outside the medical room came on, and Niannian walked out ahead of Gu Xiao, her round face looking particularly pitiful at this moment.

Niannian glanced around at everyone with her round eyes, then decisively hugged Qu Tong’s legs and burst into big sobs, hiccupping through her tears, "Auntie, does Niannian have to wear only skirts from now on?"

Qu Tong was startled by this sudden turn of events.

The Crown Princess Consort and the Empress smiled gently, only the Crown Prince looked slightly disappointed by her fears, but nobody stopped Niannian’s actions.

The Crown Princess Consort reminded, "Don’t dirty your auntie’s pretty skirt."
