Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Encountering Cyber Bullying

As soon as the Insect Mother reached out, Cheng Feng opened his mouth, "Don’t bother looking any further, even if our sister-in-law could match 10 Pharmacists, it’s useless. Do you think this is your Insect Clan harem where you can pick and choose consorts?"

Cheng Feng’s humor successfully made everyone laugh.

The Insect Mother, however, turned green and then white with rage, took back her hand, and scolded furiously, "How dare you!"

Of course, aside from the Insect Clan who was genuinely frightened, nobody else took it too seriously.

"Sister-in-law, this way please." Cheng Feng courteously ushered Qu Tong to her seat.

The others also took their seats, initiating the second round of negotiations.

The military’s conclusion was that they naturally couldn’t give up a Pharmacist, nor a private star, but some ownerless planets on the border could be lent out.

The Insect Mother was very stubborn, insisting that they could ask for fewer Pharmacists, but that particular planet was a must-have.

All eyes turned towards Qu Tong.

With an air of nonchalance, Qu Tong laid out her conditions.

The planet was non-negotiable, but the energy fruits and vegetables on it could be traded, though there weren’t many at present; they could increase the quantity as production scaled up.

In addition, Qu Tong also proposed that Pharmacists were off the table, but she could provide Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, of course, in exchange for Energy Stones.

The two proposals Qu Tong mentioned were prearranged with Si Yuting.

Gong Yun, listening on the side, had an epiphany, contemplating reallocating a portion of elixirs from the Military Department to the Insect Clan. After all, more than half of the Mental Outbursts every year were incited by the Insect Clan. With fewer wars, soldiers wouldn’t need so many Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions.

The others, however, weren’t so generous, and some looked at Qu Tong with disapproval. Yet, due to the presence of Si Yuting and Gong Yun, none dared to express their dissent openly.

Lan Jianghong, however, couldn’t help scoffing disdainfully, "The Prince’s Consort really has a way with overstatements."

At the conclusion of the second negotiation, Commander Gong, before leaving, looked at Qu Tong appreciatively and even instructed Si Yuting to assign more people to protect her.

No sooner had Qu Tong returned to the base and accessed the Star Network than she was inevitably bombarded by online backlash.

One did not need to guess whose handiwork it was.

Whether military or political factions, there was a portion of people deeply entrenched with the Alchemist Association, with significant interests at stake.

Elixirs were always scarce, and having been enemies with the human race for so long, even if the Insect Clan couldn’t seize the elixirs themselves, they certainly wouldn’t allow them to be sold freely to enemies, especially since they weren’t the ones going to battle.

Some of the comments were particularly cutting:

[I’m dying of laughter, so many decorated officers didn’t speak up, how dare she?]

[The full never understand the plight of the hungry, does she even realize how important Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions are?]

[Does she even think before she speaks? That’s representing the entire Insect Clan, do you think one or two elixirs will suffice? At least 100 a month, I guess.]

[How many people could be spared from Mental Outbursts with that many elixirs, why should the despicable Insect Clan get them for cheap?]

[Just because she has some dirty money, does she think she can haphazardly sacrifice others’ interests?]

[Even if the Insect Clan really agrees, will she personally pay for all those elixirs?]

[Knowing a Pharmacist, so what? Does she think they are fools who will provide for her?]

It eventually escalated to personal attacks, accusing her of talking nonsense, having long hair but short insights, and being selfish.

Qu Tong also saw supporters from the First Legion and others supporting her trying to offer explanations, but these were drowned out by the myriad of insults.

Some Pharmacists from the Alchemist Association also came forward to mock Qu Tong, suggesting she was acting presumptuously, being young and frivolous, and not understanding the difficulty of concocting elixirs, which sparked a wave of agreement among netizens.

Once the discussion involved a large quantity of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, it became a significant issue, and the officials couldn’t step in until a final decision was made.

Gong Yun hastened back to Capital Star to organize a conference to discuss the issue, but the results wouldn’t be available anytime soon.

"Wah wah wah, they said I have long hair and short insights, and that I’m nothing but some dirty money," Qu Tong melodramatically threw herself into Si Yuting’s arms, seizing the opportunity to take advantage.

Si Yuting’s body seemed to stiffen slightly as he straightened Qu Tong’s posture and turned off her Light Brain, "Behave, stop looking at it for now. I’ll let the communications department clean up the network later, I’m in a meeting."

Qu Tong turned around abruptly, coming face-to-face with multiple pairs of eyes on the intelligent brain screen, her pupils dilated.

Boom!

The sky fell!

Could she still find a crack in the ground to crawl into?

Qu Tong stared blankly at the screen for quite some time before she scrambled off Si Yuting’s body in a fluster.

"So-sorry, Cheng Feng said you were done, and I just..." Qu Tong felt utterly embarrassed, and eventually simply turned and ran out.

Si Yuting withdrew his gaze from the door and, when he faced the screen again, the gentle smile on his lips had vanished without a trace, replaced with his usual stern and aloof demeanor. He spoke to those in the video, "Continue."

The other side of the video included several junior officers and above from various legions who had collectively gone silent the moment Qu Tong showed up, each of them with eyes wide open—shock, mockery, and anticipation evident on their faces.

The Grand Marshal had his wife to keep him company while guarding the borders. What a divine, blissful life, incomparable indeed.

Only those who were in constant contact with the Insect Clan like them could understand the viability of the lady’s proposal.

As for those on the internet, they were just talking without experiencing any pain.

Besides, what do they mean by measly money?

She owned an entire planet, had a farm bringing in a warehouse of gold daily, and had connections with both Pharmacist and Grand Marshal’s caliber.

With just that measly money, their eyes were green with envy, alright.

"Thump thump thump!"

Si Yuting’s hand tapped on the desk as his cold gaze swept over everyone on the screen, reminding again, "Continue!"

The people in front of the screen jolted, involuntarily shivered, and then proceeded to report their insights and opinions one by one.

After leaving Si Yuting’s office, Qu Tong took a couple of deep breaths, still feeling her face burning hot.

At that moment, Cheng Feng approached her, "Sister-in-law, there’s something I’d like to ask you."

Qu Tong took a deep breath, turned around, with an especially bright smile, "Major Cheng Feng, please ask."

Cheng Feng looked somewhat flattered, rubbing his hands together with a fawning expression, "Sister-in-law, you and Wen You are sisters; do you know what kind of man she likes?"

Qu Tong eyed Cheng Feng with deep meaning, looking him up and down, causing Cheng Feng to involuntarily straighten up, the normally thick-skinned man unusually nervous and embarrassed.

"I don’t know."

Cheng Feng’s smile collapsed.

"However..." Qu Tong deliberately paused.

Cheng Feng’s eyes lit up again, staring intently at Qu Tong.

"Wen You said she hates scumbags," Qu Tong said as she looked at Cheng Feng, grinning broadly.

Cheng Feng: "??"

Qu Tong left Cheng Feng with a meaningful look to ponder, humming a tune as she returned to her room.

Wu Yue passed by Cheng Feng, who grabbed him and asked, "Do I look like a scumbag?"

"Yes," Wu Yue replied without hesitation, nodding his head.

Cheng Feng puzzled, "Why?"

Wu Yue stroked his chin and sized up the suave and debonair Cheng Feng, seriously, "Anyone who’s better looking than me is a scumbag."

"Get lost!" Cheng Feng threw a punch at him.
