The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 296 - 295: Seeking Help from Old Yuan

Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Seeking Help from Old Yuan

"Are there any other methods?"

"Originally, Old Man Yuan had saved Commander Gong from the brink of a Mental Outburst, and the Empress Dowager has already tried to make contact," Cheng Feng said from the side.

"How much longer can His Highness hold on?" Qu Tong continued asking.

Jiang Zhou, searching through the data, replied with a grave expression, "It’s hard to say. It only takes four to five hours for the Mental Outburst value to rise to 100%, but once it fully erupts, he will completely lose his reason, instinctively venting his restless spiritual power. The Grand Marshal has powerful spiritual power, so it could last three to five days, or even up to a week. After the venting stops..."

Jiang Zhou didn’t dare to continue, instead using a more implicit phrasing: "The Grand Marshal’s spiritual power is stronger than an average person’s. The stronger the power, the greater the danger, which is why the Grand Marshal has always endured when he could."

Qu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I’ll step out for a bit."

No one stopped Qu Tong.

Qu Tong went out to the lawn, where Butler Chi and the other servants had already rested, and the robots at the door had entered standby mode. The soldiers of the Skywolf Legion guarded outside throughout the night.

Qu Tong stood under an osmanthus tree, the streetlight casting a pattern of light and shadow.

First, Qu Tong turned on Jun Li’s Light Brain and, sure enough, found several messages and missed calls from Commander Gong, as well as a message from the Crown Prince sent through official channels to the shop, still unread.

Old Man Yuan must be still in the lab or asleep, not having time to check.

Qu Tong placed a call.

"Why are you making a call so late at night?" a big yawn came from Old Man Yuan at the other end of the call.

"Master, do you have a way to deal with Si Yuting’s Mental Outburst?" Qu Tong didn’t bother with Old Man Yuan’s complaint and asked directly.

"I’ve said long ago..." Old Man Yuan seemed to just realize, "You’ve returned to Capital Star?"

"What are you talking about?" Qu Tong pressed on, skipping Old Man Yuan’s question.

"Has he fully entered the state of Mental Outburst?" Old Man Yuan asked instead of answering.

"Yes, the Mental Outburst value is at 98%."

"Hiss!" Old Man Yuan sucked in a breath, "Si Yuting’s willpower is really abnormal."

Most people would completely lose control once their Mental Outburst value reached 90%, with only destruction and slaughter in their eyes.

Qu Tong was getting anxious, "Can’t you just get to the point?"

Really fed up with all the pointless talk.

"I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush me," Old Man Yuan calmly said.

Qu Tong, "I T..."

"Hey, hey, little girl, don’t be so irritable. Didn’t I tell you long ago?" Old Man Yuan quickly spoke before Qu Tong could explode, "It’s no use finding me. I was brought into the palace to check on him once before. Si Yuting’s spiritual power is not on the same level as Gong Yun’s."

"What do you mean?"

"SSS-rank is just the highest grade detected by the instruments. I reasonably guess that the kid’s spiritual power is slowly increasing, otherwise, I cannot explain why Special-grade potions are becoming less effective on him," Old Man Yuan analyzed confidently.

Qu Tong’s heart chilled. Spiritual power increasing?

Isn’t it said that once Interstellar spiritual power reaches the limit of the Physique Level, there’s no room for improvement?

"With his condition, we can only wait for the spiritual power to be completely vented out. However, his case is special; after venting his chance of survival isn’t even 10%," Old Man Yuan noted.

"No wonder Wei Xiaochun suddenly contacted me, it was about this matter, but I was busy preparing elixirs at the time and didn’t pick up, then I forgot about it."

"Don’t be sad, little girl; there are plenty of good men out there. I’ve always said that kid Si Yuting was short-lived. Wait until later when your master develops the elixir that improves physique, then you can re-enter the scene, and you’ll find plenty of handsome men..."

"Beep-beep-beep--"

Seeing the communication cut off, Old Man Yuan became a bit furious: "Such a bad temper the little girl has, don’t know who she takes after, Jun Qiurong is such a gentle woman, and Qu Jianming is so humble and courteous."

With his sleepiness gone, Old Man Yuan opened up the Star Network to read the news.

In the information age, news travels incredibly fast, especially about big matters concerning every person in the Empire.

News about the Insect Clan appearing on Capital Star had already been leaked by someone in the know, and there were several not-very-clear pictures circulating, with a huge crowd of comments below.

[It’s terrifying! The Insect Clan can even morph into human form!]

[They look just like humans, but they’re actually Insect Clan members!]

[This makes me scared to leave the house. What if I encounter a member of the Insect Clan and get eaten without anyone knowing?]

Someone with a bit of inside knowledge spoke up:

[Only members of the Insect Clan above the Bug Emperor can morph into human form. Do you think Bug Emperors are that common to encounter them just anywhere?]

[Exactly, the Insect Clan doesn’t usually reveal themselves casually; they won’t be bothered with you unless you’re a pharmacist.]

[Don’t create panic. The latest discovered Insect Clan member has been captured by His Highness. The others probably wouldn’t dare to make any rash moves now.]

[I heard His Highness got injured because of this and I feel so distressed.]

Old Man Yuan watched for a while and entered the keyword "Si Yuting" in the search bar.

Information about Si Yuting soon popped up below.

The Imperial Palace, the Army Affiliated Residence, and Yuelan Bay are now areas with stringent security. The news is controlled, and no one knows where Si Yuting is or what his condition is like.

It’s only known that he is suffering from a severe Mental Outburst and might be in life-threatening danger. This piece of information came from the Alchemist Association.

Given the current situation on Capital Star, many people believe it.

Netizens had already exploded with reactions.

[Wuu wuu wuu~ His Highness is so pitiful. His Fertility Value is zero and still, he’s making this sacrifice for the nation.]

[Your Highness, you can’t have an accident; the Prince’s Consort would be heartbroken, and so would we.]

[My powerful Highness, how could you be injured by the despicable Insect Clan? Such a fate~]

[Shut your doom-mongering mouths! His Highness will be fine.]

[Exactly, exactly, there must be a compassionate god who will look after our great His Highness.]

[I’m willing to exchange twenty years of my brother’s singlehood for His Highness’s safety through the Mental Outburst.]

[Praying for His Highness.]

[Go His Highness!]

...

Old Man Yuan read through and let out a long sigh.

Even though he wanted to help, he was aware of his limitations.

Even though he was far superior compared to that old fart Lan Jianghong, he truly lacked the ability to save someone from death’s doorstep.

Perhaps with the help of the young girl, he might achieve something in a few decades, but it was a pity that over twenty years had already been wasted.

Qu Tong hung up the communication and stood still for a while, frowning.

Traces of green spread from her fingertips and were absorbed by the osmanthus tree leaves.

The night breeze was slightly cool, carrying the faint scent of osmanthus, sweet and delightful.

The current state of Si Yuting isn’t one that can be easily approached.

Her Special Ability allows her to enter the Spirit Sea and heal him, but this is not an easy task.

It requires absolute trust or absolute suppression.

And she had confidence in neither.

They were married, but most of the time it was she who took the initiative. He was like an iceberg that was hard to melt, even though he was good to her and doted on her.

But trust, did they have it between them?
