The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 348 - 347: Be Gentle Tonight

Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Be Gentle Tonight

Qu Tong fluttered her hopeful big eyes.

Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong for a long time before slowly uttering two words, "Not bad."

"If Your Highness likes it, then let’s give all to Your Highness. I’m fine with just porridge," Qu Tong was very considerate.

Si Yuting: "..."

Recalling the odd behavior of Xuan Ping and the others today, he guessed that his little wife was deliberately playing a prank on him.

Looking at his little wife again, she concealed it quite well, and when their eyes met, she even smiled at him.

Si Yuting smiled bitterly, but he didn’t expose her little scheme and started eating the sour and spicy "potato shreds" with porridge, just at a much slower pace than usual.

Si Yuting was halfway through the potato shreds when Qu Tong had already finished a bowl of porridge. She raised her eyebrow and looked at Si Yuting, "Your Highness didn’t find today’s potato shreds a bit too spicy?"

"They are a little."

"Then why are you still eating them?"

Si Yuting didn’t respond to Qu Tong’s question, but instead said, "You might have to face even worse food soon."

Qu Tong turned pale at the thought of the upcoming midterm examination.

The second-year midterm exam tested wilderness survival skills, and besides oneself, nothing else could be brought in.

So even food had to be procured by oneself, and nutrient solutions weren’t allowed.

What can one eat in the Star Beast Zone? Naturally, Exotic Beast Meat and plants.

But the Star Beasts and plants in the Star Beast Zone are severely polluted. Untreated Exotic Beast Meat and plants are extremely unpalatable, and prolonged consumption can even lead to Mental Outbursts.

And that’s the very purpose of the exam, to strive for survival amid hardship.

Contaminated plants and meat may taste bad, but it’s nothing compared to the importance of staying alive.

"I’m The Prince’s Consort, do I have any privileges?" Qu Tong batted her eyelids at Si Yuting.

"No."

It was the expected cold yet just reply.

"We cannot intervene with the military academy’s examination rules," Si Yuting explained.

"If you’re lucky, and get a mission around the river area to the southeast, there will be more Energy Plants, and there is a type of fish in the river, called cod, with a higher Purification Value..."

The things Si Yuting mentioned also qualified as advice from experience.

However, luck is such an elusive thing.

Qu Tong gloomily picked up a piece of potato shred to taste, and instantly shuddered at the stimulation, coughing twice and spitting it all out.

How Si Yuting managed to eat half a plate of it with an expressionless face was beyond her, his entire mouth must have gone numb.

Si Yuting handed Qu Tong a glass of cold water and stared intently at her. After she recovered, he said, "Ali, can you stop being angry now?"

Qu Tong suddenly realized that Si Yuting had deliberately eaten so many ginger shreds to appease her anger, and her heart was suddenly touched.

"Take it easy tonight."

Qu Tong: "..."

That was a wasted emotion.

But Qu Tong didn’t let Si Yuting eat any more of the leftover half plate of ginger-fried potato shreds. She served him another half bowl of porridge and all the last three ribs.

After the meal, Si Yuting dealt with official affairs, while Qu Tong cut fruit for him.

When she returned from answering Emperor Changxin’s Light Brain messages, she found that not a single piece of fruit had been touched.

Qu Tong pulled up a stool to sit on Si Yuting’s left, piercing a piece of fruit with a toothpick to feed him.

Si Yuting paused for a moment then opened his mouth to take a bite.

Only after Si Yuting turned off the intelligent brain did Qu Tong say, "Your Highness should eat more energy-rich foods for good health."

Even if the elements in Nutrient Solution are comprehensive, impurities still remain. Otherwise, Interstellar wouldn’t promote the expensive and cumbersome Energy Plants and purified Exotic Beast Meat.

Especially for someone like Si Yuting with high spiritual power, the accumulation of impurities had a greater impact on his Spirit Sea.

Si Yuting responded with a warm voice.

In fact, his diet had improved a lot in the last one or two years, with his little wife occasionally feeding him, and later, the Energy Fruits that she stuffed into his Space Button every time they met, he didn’t waste them.

Sometimes, he really had the illusion that he was being carefully nurtured by someone.

Qu Tong propped her chin and sized up Si Yuting, blabbing, "Heaven has given you a beautiful shell, supreme strength, and a noble birth, how could it bear to let you die young?"

The level of elixirs was severely mismatched with power levels, as if there was a natural restraint against the strong.

It might seem like SSS-rank strong individuals have it all, but in reality, they also have it tough.

Zhu Jidan said in the long history of interstellar events, very few lived to die a natural death.

Seeing Qu Tong looking at him with a look of pity, Si Yuting chuckled and flicked her forehead.

"Heaven loves me greatly, don’t think too much about it."

He had been given such a dear little wife, and he didn’t have to worry about not waking up unknowingly, so how was that not great affection?

The only regret, perhaps, was that the window to have children had been closed for him.

Si Yuting held Qu Tong and got into bed, kissing those eyes filled with starlight.

Si Yuting kept his word, he was extremely gentle tonight, and if his little wife said no more, then no more it was.

He embraced Qu Tong into his arms, and in the soft glow of the Starlight Stone, his usually cold face also seemed much softer, "Let’s go to sleep early, we’ll arrive tomorrow."

Qu Tong obediently complied, turned off the Light Brain, flipped over, naturally wrapped her slender waist, and snuggled into Si Yuting’s arms with satisfaction and closed her eyes.

*

The next day.

Si Yuting was driving the flyer, personally taking Qu Tong to the examination assembly point.

Si Yuting unbuckled Qu Tong’s seat belt and cautioned, "Be careful with Lan Xingrui, try not to conflict with them unless necessary, if there’s an issue you can find Han Song and Principal Wei, or wait for me to come back and tell me, I’ll come over as soon as the task is finished."

"Okay."

Qu Tong waved and watched the pure black flyer grow distant, then turned around and headed to the First Military Academy’s base.

Upon arriving, she saw Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao with ugly expressions, as if someone had kicked them in their lifeblood.

Qu Tong’s inquiring gaze turned to Xu An and the others, "What happened?"

The others also had unhappy faces, He Zhou stepped forward to explain, "The two teammates we chose backed out at the last minute, now we can only wait for a random allocation."

"Sister Tong, I’m sorry!" Fei Wenxing had a downcast face, filled with guilt.

Qu Tong was expressionless, her demeanor indifferent, "It’s not a big deal, it doesn’t matter, random is fine."

"But what if they hold us back?" Fei Wenxing was worried about this.

"Hold us back more than I will? They might even disdain me." Qu Tong laughed.

This time they couldn’t even bring mechas for the assessment, wasn’t she the weakest?

"That’s different," Fei Wenxing retorted.

"Sister Tong would never hold us back," Cheng Yao had an inexplicable trust in Qu Tong.

"The captain is very formidable!" He Zhou also declared.

The group began to list Qu Tong’s heroic acts from the last military competition.

Back on the spaceship, many wanted to team up with them.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao painstakingly chose two strong S-rank individuals with good reputations.

Whether intentionally or not, these two ended up on Lan Xingye’s team.

"They will definitely regret it!" Fei Wenxing regained confidence.

Soon, the people allotted randomly arrived, and Qu Tong recognized one of them, one of the individuals who had been banned from her store after causing trouble over elixirs last time.
