Chapter 325: Chapter 324 Successful Negotiation Conclusion

Qu Tong thought Si Yuting was worried about her, so she gave him a reassuring look before breaking free from his grasp and walking towards Sai Pu.

Si Yuting stared at his empty palm and frowned.

As long as Qu Tong and Sai Pu talked, Si Yuting watched, standing still, motionless like a statue.

In the end, Qu Tong still gave Sai Pu that small section of Qingmu infused with her spiritual power.

When she returned to Si Yuting’s side, she noticed that he was still staring at the Qingmu in Sai Pu’s hand.

Sai Pu even flaunted it provocatively at Si Yuting before disappearing on the spot, just before a bolt of lightning could strike.

"Alright, that thing isn’t of much use to you, you don’t eat grass, and besides, don’t we have one at the base?" Qu Tong said, pulling Si Yuting by the hand onto the aircraft.

Once on the aircraft, Si Yuting leaned in to buckle Qu Tong’s safety belt and suddenly said, "Miss Ali, try to have less contact with him in the future, he has ulterior motives."

With his head slightly lowered, his voice was deep and low, but Qu Tong inexplicably detected a hint of emotion.

Just as Si Yuting was about to retract his body after securing the seat belt, Qu Tong grabbed him by the collar.

Looking up, she met his teasing gaze, "Your Highness, you couldn’t be jealous, could you?"

Qu Tong had expected Si Yuting to choose silence or denial, which would have matched his usual aloof demeanor, but unexpectedly, he calmly nodded, "Yes."

It was deep, muffled, yet unusually pleasant to hear.

Qu Tong, as if she had discovered something new, raised the corners of her eyes playfully and teased, "Then I’m really honored. How come you weren’t jealous when Commander Feng confessed to me in front of you?"

Si Yuting lowered his eyes and looked at the young girl, laughing at his expense. Adjusting his position, he supported himself with one hand on the seat and bent down to press firmly against her, causing havoc.

The young girl yelped in pain, and just as she released him, she bit him hard on the chest through his shirt, leaving a clear set of teeth marks imprinted with saliva.

After biting, she even bared her teeth and snorted coldly, looking fiercely cute.

The pain wasn’t much, but it was somewhat itchy, and the area on his abdomen under his palm felt warm.

Si Yuting suppressed the restlessness in his heart, rubbed Qu Tong’s head, and his gaze softened like the melting waters of spring.

"You haven’t answered my question yet," Qu Tong said, eyeing him with a follow-up query.

Looking at Qu Tong, Si Yuting seriously replied, "The Insect Clan is not monogamous and doesn’t hold any moral values."

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow.

So Commander Feng is a good man, and he isn’t worried.

And... no problem, haha.

Qu Tong threaded her fingers through Si Yuting’s, infusing spiritual power, "Your Highness, no more jealousy, I will try to avoid him unless necessary."

Qu Tong said something, but Si Yuting didn’t catch it clearly as a cool sensation flowed through his arm, soothing his entire body as it passed through his Spirit Sea.

It was very comfortable, but it felt different from the last time.

"Can you enter my Spirit Sea when there’s no Mental Outburst?"

"I should be able to."

"Then try it, the effect will be better," Si Yuting’s eyes flickered.

Suspiciously glancing at Si Yuting, Qu Tong said, "Then don’t attack my mental strands, okay?"

"Alright."

Qu Tong reached out, hooking her hand around Si Yuting’s neck.

Si Yuting also cooperatively lowered his head to meet Qu Tong’s forehead.

Qu Tong tentatively extended a strand and, feeling confident that Si Yuting would not attack, dared to explore further, beginning to help regulate him.

Si Yuting’s current mental state was very good, but continuing the regulation would just further decrease his outburst value.

By the time Qu Tong finished combing through, the two were tightly pressed against each other, his hand clasping her waist firmly like an immovable steel rod.

The other hand was still entwined, and the palms they connected were somewhat sweaty.

"It’s okay now," Qu Tong reminded.

"Mm," Si Yuting uttered from his throat.

Si Yuting rested his head on Qu Tong’s shoulder, and in the place Qu Tong couldn’t see, a suspicious red appeared on Si Yuting’s ears.

"Ali, from now on, you must not enter anyone else’s Spirit Sea except mine," he said.

Qu Tong obediently nodded, "I know, not everyone’s Spirit Sea lets me in."

This was too dangerous, and she wouldn’t use it lightly unless it was a special situation.

Hearing the tone of Qu Tong’s voice, Si Yuting knew she didn’t understand, but for some reason, he didn’t elaborate further. Agreeing was good enough.

After holding her for a while longer and suppressing the emotions at the bottom of his eyes, Si Yuting finally let go of Qu Tong and returned to Abel Star.

The third negotiation proceeded swiftly.

With the face of a flamboyantly cheap beauty, Sai Pu followed the Insect Mother into the conference room, even casting a flirtatious glance at Qu Tong.

Qu Tong looked down and ignored it, but she did hear several male councilors swallowing their saliva.

One couldn’t help but marvel how, compared to Si Yuting’s distinctively stoic and handsome features, Sai Pu’s beauty blurred the lines between genders.

The negotiation went surprisingly smoothly.

The Insect Mother gave up on Luyi Star and the Pharmacists.

Instead, she leased several remote stars on the border.

The Insect Clan only wanted high-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions, 120 vials per month, which, after negotiations, would be supplied half by Miss Ali’s shop and half by the Military Department.

Apart from Qu Tong, another party was involved in the energy plant cooperation, chosen previously through a bidding process, but it was not from the Agricultural Science Institute.

With this, the Insect Clan and the Canaan Empire signed a 50-year ceasefire agreement.

The talks concluded successfully, and Sai Pu returned with the Insect Clan to the Bug Nest.

Cheng Feng looked up at the wormhole forming in the sky and remarked, "If it weren’t for their ability to open wormholes, I really wish the boss and sister-in-law could have wiped them out."

Wu Yue patted his shoulder, "It’s quite good as it is now."

Qu Tong’s vital role in this negotiation was not publicized, and Qu Tong didn’t mind; after all, she had reaped tangible benefits.

The remaining matters were left to Ke Jun and Old Man Yuan to handle.

There was another piece of good news; Old Man Yuan had a breakthrough in the research of the physique-enhancing elixir and was just waiting for Qu Tong to test it again with her spiritual power.

After a month-long negotiation, everyone was busy with follow-up matters while Qu Tong started visiting Jiang Zhou’s medical room more frequently.

Jiang Zhou proved quite capable, as he discovered the cause of her illness.

Her genes had suffered severe trauma. Special abilities could not heal genetic defects, but they were continuously trying to repair the effects of these defects on her body, which is why they had no effect and even produced adverse reactions on her.

But it was also because of the special abilities’ reparative effects that she didn’t manifest those serious symptoms that she should have had.

Utilizing Si Yuting’s authority, Jiang Zhou spent two days and nights in the laboratory reviewing medical cases before he found a treatment method.

The treatment for genetic diseases was very complex. Jiang Zhou told her it might take a year, two years, or even ten to twenty years.

However, he had a method to temporarily resolve her coagulation issues first.

As for the inability to recover from the drain of special abilities, this involved elixirs, and Jiang Zhou wasn’t an expert, so he suggested Qu Tong consult with Old Yuan about it.

Qu Tong sincerely thanked Jiang Zhou and gave him many energy fruits and vegetables as a token of appreciation.

Old Yuan was already busy, having complained to her yesterday about a close call he had just after leaving the palace; luckily, Gong Yun had arranged for Fei Wenyang and others to provide close protection.

Just as she was leaving, she ran into Cheng Feng.
