The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 293: Chapter 292: The Original Insect Clan

```

Gu Xiu’s first reaction was to go over and catch Qu Tong, but Qu Tong called out coldly, "Don’t bother with me, listen to the order, go back!"

The others, whose strength might not surpass Qu Tong’s, obediently retreated to the protective barrier, not wanting to give Qu Tong any trouble.

Xu An also directed the members of the mercenary team towards the protective barrier, and without needing a reminder from Qu Tong, Old Man Yuan, who had been watching the surveillance the whole time, had already fully opened the planetary shield’s permissions for humans.

Gu Xiu glanced at Qu Tong’s stern expression and the Grand Marshal’s instructions echoed in his mind: "Follow orders and do not interfere with madam’s decisions."

He did not move forward but stood at the very edge of the protective barrier, waiting for Qu Tong to come over.

Just as Qu Tong was about to enter the protective barrier, the Insect Clan behind her suddenly stopped attacking, as if fearing something, and retreated, leaving a large circle around Qu Tong.

Gu Xiu and the others inside the protective barrier watched this eerie scene in astonishment.

The moment the protective barrier blocked their view, they only saw the spread of blue wings and the disorderly retreat of the Insect Clan.

Gu Xiu and Xuan Ping thought to go out but could only crash into the solid isolation shield.

"It’s locked!" Xuan Ping hit it twice, and only energy ripples disseminated.

"Young master?" Ke Jun was the first to think of Xu An.

The eyes of the others also focused on Xu An.

But Xu An could only weakly shake his head: "I don’t have the authority."

Xu An was filled with regret. He should not have refused when his sister planned to grant him the permissions.

His gaze shot to the mercenaries who had come in with him, and a light suddenly dawned on Xu An; he knew what to do.

"I’ll go to the central control console!"

With a shout, Xu An hurried towards the villa.

Outside the protective barrier, Qu Tong looked back as the Insect Clan scattered, her instinct telling her something was amiss.

She only had time to seal the planetary shield.

A surge of air current rushed from behind, and in an instant, Qu Tong was lifted into the air.

Qu Tong’s eyes turned cold, a dagger appeared in her hand, and without hesitation, she spun around and stabbed, her blade imbued with a chilling sharpened spiritual power.

The restraint around her waist loosened, and Qu Tong fell from mid-air.

Taking the opportunity to turn, she saw the magnified face of Sai Pu.

Her first impression was that it was beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman’s.

From underneath his left ear to his neck was a large, very prominent cloud-patterned tattoo, whose blues faded into each other, exuding an exotic and enchanting vibe.

Behind him flutter a pair of bright blue wings speckled with white, iridescent and stunning in their beauty.

Sai Pu smiled as he flew towards Qu Tong, silently opening his mouth in the shape of the word "sister."

A bow and arrow formed in Qu Tong’s hands, and she drew the string.

Qu Tong had a pair of slender and attractive hands, immaculate and without blemish, for her Special Ability meant she seldom needed to use weapons, although she could handle bows, guns, and other precision shooting weapons.

The arrow, glowing with a green light, shot straight at Sai Pu, with a momentum as unstoppable as a breaking bamboo.

Sai Pu abruptly stopped, his hand covering his shoulder in shock.

Purple blood flowed out from between his fingers, like an extremely romantic flower causing the plants it touched to wither instantly.

Below Qu Tong, vines grew rapidly, blooming into a huge flower.

The blooming flower did not catch Qu Tong.

Qu Tong was caught by a black and gold Mecha speeding through the air.

The cockpit opened, and Qu Tong landed precisely into a cold but secure embrace.

Qu Tong encircled him instinctively: "Your Highness, how did you come?"

Si Yuting retracted the Mecha and held Qu Tong gently as they landed on the ground.

```

"I saw something unusual in the satellite imagery and came over first; Hu Qing has already gone to the Affiliated Star of the First Legion. The rescue troops will arrive later," Si Yuting said with a clear and cold voice, looking up at Cyprus Lucy in the sky.

Upon seeing Si Yuting, Cyprus Lucy snorted coldly, his eyes revealing clear jealousy and that innate arrogance.

His wings fluttered, and the blue-purple patterns on them seemed to come to life, as the wound on his shoulder visibly healed at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Qu Tong, seeing this, couldn’t help but speculate. Could it be that Cyprus Lucy’s Special Ability is also a Wood-element? Or perhaps a self-healing Wood-element Ability?

Cyprus Lucy then turned to look at Qu Tong and spoke enticingly, "Sister, come back to the Bug Nest with me, and I will honor you as the Female Sovereign."

Before Qu Tong could heartlessly refuse, a lightning bolt thick as an arm struck down from above.

Cyprus Lucy dodged swiftly, but still a bit of his hair was singed.

Annoyance flashed in Cyprus Lucy’s eyes as he glared at Si Yuting from a great distance.

Yuting put Qu Tong down on the ground and concentrated, his palm coalescing a dense spiritual power accompanied by the flashing of lightning, like a ferocious beast about to be unleashed.

Merely standing there, he emanated a potent and oppressive aura.

His cold gaze silently conveyed that there was no chance today of taking anyone away.

Cyprus Lucy bit his lip, gazing down for a long time.

With a single flap of his wings, he disappeared into thin air.

Yuting frowned.

Qu Tong also stood somewhat taken aback, staring at the spot where Cyprus Lucy had just been.

A gentle breeze lifted her hair, carrying a voice that seemed to be infused with endless tenderness.

"Sister, remember my name, Cyprus Lucy. I will come back for you," it said.

Qu Tong turned around, her spiritual power spread out, but she couldn’t catch anything.

"He’s gone," Yuting concluded earlier, having already scanned the nearby fluctuations with his spiritual power.

"Cyprus Lucy?" Qu Tong repeated the name under her breath, "The Flash Butterfly?"

Yuting walked over to Qu Tong, his eyes slightly deepening, "To be named directly after a species class is to be a first-generation Insect Clan member."

Qu Tong looked at him, puzzled; Zhu Jidan never covered this in her classes.

"First-generation Insect Clan members are rare and belong to those who have awakened later in life; only one can awaken at a time during the same period. They possess immense Talent, and once fully grown, their strength surpasses that of the Bug Emperor. They are the most troublesome Insect Clan members we’ve encountered so far."

Yuting paused, then turned his gaze to Qu Tong.

"However, he didn’t seem to intend to take any action. Those Insect Clan members were likely all summoned back to the Wormhole by him."

Qu Tong was more concerned about another issue, "How did he grow up so fast?"

During the few months he had spent with her, he had only grown half a head taller, but now he looked fully grown.

Yuting shook his head, "I don’t know. The Military Science Academy lacks samples; research in this area is very superficial. We didn’t even know until now that the Insect Clan could display a completely human form."

Qu Tong nodded in understanding. The Bug Emperor, first-generation Insect Clan, and the Bug Mother totaled just a few or perhaps a dozen -- too rare to capture, making it difficult for scientists to study them.

Could it all be based on imagination? Without experimental data for verification, they probably doubt their own conjectures as baseless.

When the view of the Planetary Shield reopened, what everyone saw was just such a peaceful scene.

No Insect Clan, no fighting, only the remnants of the previous battle on the ground, with no signs of new additions.

"Grand Marshal!" Xuan Ping called out joyfully.

Seeing the danger was lifted, Qu Tong unlocked the access permissions.

She had only locked it down for fear that rushing out would cause unnecessary casualties.

"Miss, it’s so good to see you’re safe. You had us worried to death just now," Ke Jun approached, a bit overwhelmed with emotion.

Qu Tong smiled faintly.

Yuting didn’t exchange pleasantries with everyone else. He stroked Qu Tong’s head, his voice softer, "I have other matters to attend to and must return to Capital Star. Someone will come later to help with the aftermath of the battle."
