Chapter 278: Chapter 277: Subtly Don’t Want It

Cheng Feng, realizing he had been spotted, walk out alongside Butler Chi.

With a cheeky grin, Cheng Feng approached Qu Tong, "Good morning, sister-in-law."

Qu Tong set down her porridge bowl and smiled lightly, "Major Cheng Feng, is your leg better now?"

Butler Chi took the bowl away from Qu Tong.

"It’s better," Cheng Feng touched his nose, "just a bit costly."

He hadn’t planned on spending that unnecessary money, a few days of conservative treatment would have been enough, giving him a chance to steal some leisure time amidst the busyness.

Somehow, Wen You had gotten hold of a premium voucher from Drunken Star River, and under the guise of visiting him, sneakily indulged in treats every day.

Not just sneaking treats, but he even had the gall to bring them into the hospital room and eat them in front of him.

Annoyed, he ended up smashing a healing chamber.

After getting permission from Qu Tong, Cheng Feng sat down across the small table.

Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, Cheng Feng joked, "I thought our boss would still carry a sour face every day even after getting married, not quite the darling of his wife."

Qu Tong nodded in agreement, deeply relating, "I thought so too."

"Sister-in-law, you don’t know, no girl dared get close to our boss before. Once, at a banquet, a girl intentionally spilled drink on His Excellency’s clothes, but before she could even strike a conversation, our boss had her sent away with a scowl. And that alchemist from the Alchemist Association, what’s her name?"

"Lan Weiying," Qu Tong prompted.

"Right, Lan Weiying, the netizens hailed her as a goddess, but now Miss Jun Li has stolen the limelight," Cheng Feng said, glancing at Qu Tong, "I think even she wasn’t as pretty as you, sister-in-law. She tried to woo our boss too, but he didn’t even give her a proper glance."

"Of course, it could also be because our boss was busy catching the Star Thief and didn’t see her at all. Anyway, Lan Weiying was quite embarrassed, hahaha."

Cheng Feng was enjoying the conversation, and so was Qu Tong.

She thought that perhaps a genetic mutation occurred on Fei Wenxing; Cheng Yao had inherited some of it after all.

"Sister-in-law, can I ask how you managed to win over our boss who keeps women at bay?" Cheng Feng leaned forward like a reporter with a microphone, his eyes brimming with curiosity.

Qu Tong smirked and replied, "Simple, shamelessly just move forward."

Her tone couldn’t be more casual.

Cheng Feng stroked his chin, pondering as if contemplating a profound issue.

Just then, Si Yuting came back, and the two had important matters to discuss, so Qu Tong knowingly excused herself with a wink to Si Yuting.

Qu Tong checked the Star Network.

It was flooded with promotions for the Bai Family’s Mechas.

The Sky-roaming Prime Mechas were on sale to the public for the first time, only 200 units available, each priced between 3 to 10 million.

Among them, only one Mecha was of the same grade as Qu Tong’s, priced at 10 million.

Despite the steep price, they were all snatched up in no time.

The Empire was not short of rich progeny with less talent.

Some with high Physique Levels had lower Fertility Values, making it difficult to naturally conceive a highly talented offspring.

Fertility Value and spiritual power were similar; they decreased easily but were as hard as climbing to the sky to increase.

With progeny already being a difficulty, it was unlikely for anyone to abandon a child due to low Physique Level.

Many wealthy families, unable to get a Mecha, were inquiring about reserving units from the next batch.

When the next batch of Sky-roaming Prime Mechas would be available had become an eagerly awaited piece of information among netizens.

However, the Bai Family did not make an official statement, only mentioning that the Sky-roaming Prime Mechas were continually being upgraded and to stay tuned.

The brother who bought the Mecha for 10 million also seized the moment to start a livestream.

He was already a heavyweight in the gaming world. Although he wasn’t as fluent as Qu Tong the first time he tried it, he didn’t completely fall apart and managed to garner a lot of attention.

Of course, the birth of the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha affected some interests, especially those with A-rank and B-rank Physiques.

This group was not small, and any other corporation or family would face strong resistance toward the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha, which might not even make it to the market if it were successful.

However, being backed by the Royal Family as the maternal family of the Crown Princess Consort, the Sky-roaming Prime’s promotional videos were personally recorded by the wife of His Excellency the God of War.

Apart from the Alchemist Association, who would dare challenge the Empire’s pinnacle of power and strength?

Oh, the Alchemist Association couldn’t either anymore, maybe a year ago, but no longer.

The Sky-roaming Prime Mecha’s huge success proved that Qu Tong was about to receive a substantial income.

Qu Tong was happily browsing the Star Network in the living room when Xuan Ping and the three others came in, whispering mysteriously, "Madam, please take a look at our First Legion’s official account, we’ve prepared a program for you."

Qu Tong skeptically searched for the First Legion’s official account, followed it, and clicked in.

At the top was a repost of an annual summary issued by the Military Department, in bright red font, clearly a piece of exciting news.

This year, the number of soldiers who died due to Mental Outbursts had significantly decreased, especially in the First Legion, by nearly fifty percent.

Indeed, this was good news, indicating that the strength of the Canaan Empire might rise another grade.

Among the three major empires, the Cangling Empire was wealthy, the Kasa Empire had a large population, and the Canaan Empire had strong military power.

"Madam, look at the first post on the homepage!" Xuan Ping was already impatient.

Qu Tong glanced at the four of them and scrolled to the homepage to another video.

Just as she clicked in, a thunderous voice proclaimed, "All members of the First Legion, thank you for Madam’s favor."

The shock made Qu Tong’s hand tremble, almost spilling the water in her cup. She hurriedly paused the video.

Amid the expectant expressions of Xuan Ping and the three others, Qu Tong set down her cup, braced herself mentally, and then pressed play again.

The camera switched from a long shot to a close-up, members of the Skywolf Legion took turns praising Qu Tong extravagantly for her wisdom, beauty, kindness, and generosity, leaving no stone unturned.

Through the screen, Qu Tong could feel the capitalized awkwardness.

Xiong Lie even thoughtfully promoted her family’s Energy Fruits and Vegetables, and the title on the top of the video changed to [Head to the super incredible and generous General’s wife’s fruit and vegetable store here→]

Qu Tong: "..."

Then everyone saluted towards the screen together, and only then did the video shift to the slightly more normal routine training.

And that link which could dig out an Imperial Palace remained posted until the end of the video.

After watching the video, Qu Tong looked at the proud Xuan Ping and the three others, along with Su Hua, who couldn’t help but chuckle, with an extremely complex expression.

"I always said the Madam doesn’t like such flamboyant stuff, you guys are such straight men," Su Hua laughed and scolded.

Yet Xuan Ping and the others completely missed the hint: "Doesn’t Madam like it? It’s so grand!"

Qu Tong, not wanting to crush their confidence, maintained a forced smile, "Very grand, it’s just that it took too much of your time. I’ve received your intentions, let’s not do this again next time."

Incredibly tactful.

Qu Tong rewarded each with an Energy Liquid and shared the good news that the supply of Energy Fruits and Vegetables would increase next month.

After sending them off, she finally took a long breath of relief.

Shaking her head, what a bunch of cuties.

She was sure that Yuting had no idea this video was made.

Qu Tong minimized the video interface. Earlier she hadn’t noticed, but her account had been mentioned many times under the official announcement of the First Legion.

Mostly soldiers from the First Legion thanking her.
