The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 358 - 357: The Coward

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: The Coward

Qu Tong’s entire team lost their qualification to enter the subsequent individual competition, and a special approval application wouldn’t even stand a chance if filed.

Therefore, Qu Tong wasn’t too surprised when she received the notification.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao were stirred by it, training at the base’s facility every day.

Qu Tong generously provided them with Energy Liquid.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao wanted to use Qu Tong’s Mecha. Initially, Qu Tong disagreed, but eventually, she lent it to them after being incessantly pestered.

As a result, even with the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha, they couldn’t beat He Zhou.

Qu Tong only had four words to comment: "Train more if you’re bad."

After the individual contest ended, Qu Tong took the application approved by Han Song to retrieve surveillance data.

But she was informed by Lan Xingrui’s subordinates that the live-streaming orb was damaged, and the surveillance data was lost.

There were only some clips of their team captured by other live-streaming orbs.

"Could it be just our team’s live-streaming orb that’s damaged?" Fei Wenxing blurted out.

"Why would that be the case?" The staff member had a good attitude, patiently explaining, "The signal in the Star Beast Zone is unstable, and the natural exam site is not fully controllable. Every year, a few devices get damaged; it’s inevitable. Besides your team, teams 0110 and 0325’s live-streaming orbs are also damaged."

They also showed Qu Tong the already damaged live-streaming orbs, leaving no room for argument.

"Why don’t we just let it be? After all, Kong Yang has already received the deserved punishment; it is only the insignificant Hu Xiao left," Song Ke suggested.

Looking at the others, Qu Tong realized they mostly shared the same thought.

"Give me the live-streaming orb. I’ll find someone to fix it," a cold, deep voice came from behind them.

"His Excellency the God of War." Everyone turned around to see Si Yuting, dressed in a crisp military uniform, standing behind them.

"Give it to me," Si Yuting said upon seeing the staff frozen in place, repeating his command.

"So... sorry, Grand Marshal," the staff stammered, barely getting out a complete sentence, "This... this is exam confidential, can’t be handed over to outsiders."

"What exam confidential?" Fei Wenxing, straightforward as usual, interjected, "Besides, it’s already damaged, no data inside. You’re not happy His Excellency the God of War wants to get it fixed?"

"This, we need to consult the exam supervisor first." Another staff member took out a Light Brain, ready to contact Lan Xingrui.

"No need; I have already applied for special intervention to assist with handling the aftermath of the exam incident. All you need to do is cooperate."

The documents Si Yuting demonstrated and his unquestionable demeanor didn’t give the staff much time to react.

Under Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao’s admiring gazes, Si Yuting forcefully took the live-streaming orbs and even Qu Tong with him.

They all headed back to Si Yuting’s temporary office.

In fact, Qu Tong wasn’t too concerned.

Kong Yang is dead, so be it.

As for the transactions behind the scenes, she didn’t care at all.

After all, she wouldn’t let anyone off.

When Si Yuting said he’d find someone to fix it, he actually meant doing it himself.

Qu Tong watched Si Yuting unabashedly pull a bunch of tools, big and small, from the Space Button, remove the chip from the live-streaming orb, and place it in an unidentifiable metal box connected to the Light Brain.

Countless codes she couldn’t understand ran on the intelligent brain.

"Your Excellency, is there anything you can’t do?"

"Plenty," Si Yuting replied while continuing his work, sparing a moment to answer her.

Si Yuting continued the repair for two to three hours, and Qu Tong didn’t even realize how she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was in Si Yuting’s arms.

Si Yuting was holding her head with one hand and occasionally typing on the virtual keyboard of the intelligent brain with the other.

As the last enter key was pressed, a green progress bar appeared on the intelligent brain screen, slowly moving forward from 0.1%.

"Done?" Qu Tong’s voice was soft, slightly hoarse as she had just woken up.

"It will take a bit longer," Si Yuting took Qu Tong’s hand and massaged her slightly sore neck.

"The report from the Military Science Academy has just come out. It’s a strong anesthesia drug transferred from the military hospital to the army, with the fingerprints of the First Legion’s adjutant on it," Si Yuting said to Qu Tong as he handed her the freshly received results.

"To avoid any accidents, you and your friends would be better off sticking with my people..."

Qu Tong’s hands were free, so she just let them slide into the hem of his neatly arranged shirt.

The voice of Si Yuting stopped abruptly.

"Go on," Qu Tong looked up, puzzled.

She touched his abs as he spoke, ensuring each kept to their own business without interference.

Si Yuting’s eyes, deep and dark, grabbed Qu Tong’s mischievous hand, a touch of helplessness in his voice, "Ali, stop it, you know I can’t resist."

"Hm?" Qu Tong glanced at him, "Haven’t you resisted many times before?"

"That was before," Si Yuting gritted his teeth, his voice tinting with frustration.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, her look playful, "Then don’t resist."

Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong for a long moment, then pinched her chin and kissed her.

With a ferocity, like a wild wolf devouring its long-waited prey.

"Hiss, don’t bite! If it bleeds later, I haven’t taken my medicine," Qu Tong said, gasping for air, pleading.

Si Yuting let go of Qu Tong, his eyes swirling with suppressed desire, "I’ll take care of you when we get back."

Qu Tong met Si Yuting’s unsatisfied eyes, remembered Si Yuting’s terrifying combat skills, and shrank her neck.

"When I get back, I still have to go to school, prioritize my studies, can’t indulge too much in pleasure."

Si Yuting ran his fingers through Qu Tong’s soft hair, a hint of a smile in his eyes, "You little coward..."

Qu Tong: "..."

Little coward?

Her?

Where is she little?

If you count by the flow of time, the whole Interstellar should be calling her an ancient forebear.

She isn’t even scared of a level nine Star Beast.

It’s still up in the air who would win a fight.

But let’s skip the fighting in bed, it strains the back.

Old coward+Qu Tong, with a sonorous swipe, she batted away Si Yuting’s hand, succinctly stating, "Scram!"

Si Yuting didn’t scram, but she did.

The school summoned her to assemble.

The half-month midterm exams were over, and all the teachers and students were heading home.

The First Military Academy’s spacecraft, escorted by the military, brought Lan Xingrui back to Capital Star as well.

Lan Xingye, along with several key members of the Fifth Legion, went to military court.

The surveillance was restored by Si Yuting, which unexpectedly brought surprises.

To ensure the privacy of the examinees, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., as long as the main team members did not make significant movements, the live broadcast sphere would be off duty.

However, the live broadcast sphere monitoring Qu Tong’s team was operating 24/7 for the full six days and five nights, without missing a minute.

The control of the live broadcast spheres was unified by the staff, clearly, Qu Tong’s team’s sphere had been tampered with, and the only person with that kind of access was Lan Xingrui.

No wonder Si Yuting caused such a reaction from the staff when he asked for the return of the live broadcast spheres.

Lan Xingrui probably hadn’t anticipated that the damaged data could be restored.

He might have been better off claiming that the live broadcast sphere was lost, but with trackers installed in the spheres, no incidents of them going missing during exams had occurred in recent years; even if a Star Beast accidentally knocked them down, the fragments were still retrievable.
