The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 283 - 282: Withdraw Your Leg

Chapter 283: Chapter 282: Withdraw Your Leg

Rong Chengjue’s robe, embroidered with gold, was stained with blood and dust as he struggled to stand up.

Just halfway up, a dull pain in his chest struck, causing him to vomit blood again, his eyes closed, and he was about to fall.

Rong Yueqing was shocked and quickly stepped forward to catch him.

Overwhelmed by the gravity, Rong Yueqing fell to the ground with Rong Chengjue, frantically urging the Shadow Guard, "Cangcang! Hurry, check on my brother!"

Without a word, Cang Qiang stepped forward to examine and administered an elixir to Rong Chengjue. Then, he instructed his Shadow Guard to take Rong Chengjue from Rong Yueqing, carrying him onto their own spaceship.

Rong Yueqing looked back at the sleek black fighter jet, then turned and followed the Shadow Guard.

A few soldiers nearby, eager for some entertainment, deliberately slowed their actions. By the time the fight ended, the captured Star Thief was bound tightly with several coils of rope, complaining loudly.

The soldiers quickly loosened the ropes a bit and slapped the Star Thief across the face, "What are you howling about? Behave!"

People of the Interstellar had a certain penchant for combat; there weren’t many SSS-ranks in the whole Interstellar, so of course, they couldn’t miss any battle.

It’s just that the seventh prince of Casa was too weak. It wasn’t thrilling at all, not nearly as good as the fight between Ms. Jun Li and Commander Feng.

Si Yuting returned to the spacecraft and knocked on the partition door.

The door opened, revealing a pale arm while Qu Tong held a hairdryer in her other hand.

"I was covered in blood and sweat, uncomfortable, so I just took a quick shower," Qu Tong explained.

She then turned and sat at the edge of the bed, continuing to dry her hair.

Si Yuting "Hmm"ed in response.

"Let me help you dry," Si Yuting walked over and took the hairdryer from Qu Tong’s hand.

Qu Tong didn’t fuss and handed over the hairdryer.

Sit Yuting finished drying Qu Tong’s hair, placed the hairdryer on the bedside table, and then took Qu Tong’s hand.

It was just a minor scratch, which Qu Tong had already treated with medicine, and covered with a waterproof patch.

"Is it an illness? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Si Yuting asked with concern.

"No!" Qu Tong instinctively refused upon hearing about a check-up, "It’s just a minor defect from awakening my Special Ability; I rarely get injured, no need for a check-up."

She had tried treatment in her past life to no avail.

Although the level of interstellar medical care had improved, she wasn’t sure it would help, and she wasn’t in a good position to go for a check-up at the moment.

Si Yuting frowned but still respected Qu Tong’s decision.

The Light Brain rang. Si Yuting glanced at it and said to Qu Tong, "You can rest here; we’ll head back to Abel Star together in a bit. I’ll make arrangements and be right back."

"Okay."

She had already asked Xiong Lie. The spaceship would travel in two groups, one escorting to a remote star and one to the Capital Star.

The Star Thief would be taken back to Abel Star for interrogation before being sent to the nearby prison.

After Si Yuting had made arrangements, he took Qu Tong out of the no-signal area. Only then did Qu Tong take out her Light Brain to contact Ji Quan and Old Man Yuan.

The First Legion’s spaceship could only reach a docking station near Luyi Star, so she had to notify Ji Quan in advance to pick them up.

She also needed Ke Jun to help her with some tasks; she couldn’t find suitable manpower at the moment, so she had to use Old Man Yuan’s Healing Chamber.

Old Man Yuan grumbled but didn’t refuse.

After transferring some money to him to buy Energy Stones and medical fluids, Old Man Yuan decisively quieted down.

With nothing else to do, Qu Tong joined Si Yuting in the co-pilot’s seat to chat.

"Your Highness, any leads on other Pharmacists?" Qu Tong asked while glancing at news online.

Si Yuting didn’t answer but instead asked, "Do you think the disappearance of the Pharmacists is related to the Venomous Snake Pirate Group?"

Qu Tong supported her chin and pondered for a while before shaking her head, "I don’t think so, Du Biao only captured the Pharmacists because he needed elixirs due to a Mental Outburst, but the disappearances started several months ago."

Si Yuting nodded approvingly, "It could be even earlier."

Because no one had paid attention to this issue before, it was now very difficult to investigate. The police chief and his men had been searching for more than two months, yet they hadn’t found a precise entry point.

"This incident is quite unusual, and there has been no progress so far, Ali, you also need to be cautious."

"Moreover, be careful about Du Biao. He is treacherous and vindictive and might come after you."

"In the future, when travelling interstellar, it’s best to use the fighter jet I gave you. It has five ion cannons and twelve laser missiles. Once used up, have Xuan Ping and the others return to Abel Star..."

"Ali... pull back your leg."

"Oh."

Qu Tong withdrew her leg from Si Yuting’s.

Then, she directly sat on Si Yuting’s lap.

She noticed that Si Yuting had set the autopilot.

Si Yuting: "..."

He truly didn’t know what to do with Ali.

He pulled down the arm hooked around his neck and held it in his embrace: "Don’t move around."

Qu Tong leaned against Si Yuting and faintly responded with an "okay".

Si Yuting, feeling the warmth in his embrace, silently sighed.

"Are you very familiar with the Seventh Prince of Casa?"

Qu Tong flicked her eyelids a bit: "Not really, I’m a bit closer to his sister."

Thinking of something else, she added: "Right, the two of them know my identity."

Si Yuting’s eyes darkened slightly as he softly hmm’d, then let the person in his arms rest without further distraction.

Elsewhere, Rong Chengjue woke up on the spaceship heading back to Capital Star, and after several attempts, was unable to get up.

It was only with Rong Yueqing’s help that he could barely sit up.

The already pale complexion beneath his blond hair became even paler due to the severe injury.

Rong Yueqing looked at Rong Chengjue, who was in a gloomy mood, and sighed:

"Brother, why bother doing this when Si Yuting is the War God of the Canaan Empire? You had already used a lot of spiritual power earlier; how could you possibly be his match?"

Rong Chengjue’s silent black pupils turned towards Rong Yueqing, his lips curling in a self-mocking smile: "He didn’t even use his full strength."

Apart from one bolt of lightning at the beginning, Si Yuting hadn’t used his special ability at all afterward.

Rong Yueqing opened her mouth but couldn’t speak, unsure of how to comfort him.

Was she supposed to say that he was naturally stronger than you?

"Brother, why did you provoke Si Yuting with those words?" Rong Yueqing asked, puzzled.

Rong Chengjue turned his head to look out the window, where the radiant galaxies were reflected in his pupils but failed to illuminate the abyss in his eyes.

Rong Yueqing thought that Rong Chengjue was refusing to answer her, and could only look at the elixir in the infusion tube, planning to call Cangcang over to change it once it was done.

After a while, Rong Chengjue withdrew his gaze.

He said, "If I’m destined for hell, I’d like to take her with me."

Rong Yueqing was shocked by her brother’s dreadful thoughts, her peach blossom eyes staring at Rong Chengjue in horror: "Brother, what kind of joke is this? How could you die?"

Rong Chengjue didn’t reply, just quietly looked at the back of his hand, uncertain whether he was watching the needle for the infusion or something else.

This undoubtedly confirmed Rong Yueqing’s suspicion.

She was naive, not foolish.

How could this be?

Yet... such a dazzling and special girl, it was so natural to like her.

Rong Yueqing looked at her brother with a complicated expression: "But Sister Ali is already married."

Rong Chengjue chuckled, looking straight at Rong Yueqing: "Have I done anything yet? And I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Si Yuting is indeed doing things he shouldn’t be doing to Qu Tong."
