Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Welcome to My Trap!

Qu Tong closed the live stream, and Song Ke handed her a Red Peach Kuih, "This is the last one."

Qu Tong looked over and, indeed, the batch she made was already gone.

As for the ones Xu An and the others made, there were still many left.

"Sister Tong, the ones you made taste the best." Fei Wenxing chuckled after eating two that Qu Tong had made.

Qu Tong didn’t mind and ate a taro one, followed by a mushroom glutinous rice Red Peach Kuih made by Xu An and He Zhou, which was also quite good.

The Light Brain popped up a special notification for a money transfer, but it wasn’t from Si Yuting.

Realizing her subconscious thought, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Most of her fortune was under her own name, so why was she still thinking about those trifles?

She opened Rong Chengjue’s chat window.

[The favor you asked for is done, don’t forget the elixir you promised.]

Then there was a transfer of double the amount from last month.

Qu Tong briefly replied with a [Thanks] and then thought about how she still needed a lot more Void Crystal Stones.

So, she edited and sent another message: [Do you have any extra Void Crystal Stones? Can you sell me some more?]

The response came instantly: [I do, but only accept elixirs in exchange.]

Qu Tong: [No problem.]

Rong Chengjue: [Meet at E12 Star in one week.]

Qu Tong calculated the dates and was unsure if she would be available, [I’ll send someone to pick them up, I might not be able to make time.]

It took a while before Rong Chengjue responded again: [That works.]

Doing business with a wealthy and straightforward client feels so good, Qu Tong closed the chat, then sent a message to Lin Mo.

The mushroom soup from Fei Wenxing was not eaten and was instead included as a blind box for a lucky fan.

Fei Wenxing also specifically wrote a little note: [Friendly reminder: Not poisonous, but remember to cook it well.]

The blind box was prepared with everyone’s help, filled with various random fruits and vegetables.

Only Fei Wenxing earnestly counted a bag full of small potatoes for a lucky fan, reportedly counted twice; not more, not less, exactly 250.

Qu Tong: "..."

Really idle.

The fan who received the potatoes might not even count how many there are.

Though Luyi Star doesn’t have as many attractions as Stia, its scenery is beautiful, the air fresh, and the food delicious.

The workers on Luyi Star could all cook, with the precious and secret recipes of the Drunken Star River, every one of them had a printed copy courtesy of Ke Jun.

The happiest part of Fei Wenxing’s day was visiting workers’ homes for meals.

Knowing they were friends of the Planet Master, the workers were particularly enthusiastic and made creative delicious dishes.

Qu Tong stood on an elevated roof of the villa, overlooking much of the planet, the breeze lifting the strands by her ears, her eyes narrowed contentedly like a lazy cat.

Wen You lay in the grass by the river, hands behind his head, eyes closed, but his mouth was moving, chewing on something.

Qu Tong raised her hand and made a gentle motion in the air, and a tender leaf drifted against the wind onto Wen You’s face.

Wen You reached up to touch it, sat up, and looked toward Qu Tong.

Ten minutes later, Wen You came up to the rooftop.

"Did you need something?"

Qu Tong looked toward the distant sea of flowers, "Lan Xingrui has left Capital Star with his close associates."

Wen You was a bit surprised, "How do you know?"

The Lan family had been especially guarded lately, even Hu Qing wasn’t aware of this.

"I have my ways." Qu Tong did not elaborate, and asked nonchalantly, "I’m planning to split everyone into two groups to return one after the other, which group do you want to be with?"

"How will it be split? Tell me about it." Wen You leaned on his hands and looked genuinely interested.

"I need to borrow your aircraft; I will head back alone on the usual route first, and the others can take my planet’s aircraft a day later on a detour."

They had come on Wen You’s large aircraft.

"The two of us, still acting like outsiders? I’m obviously going with you," Wen You almost immediately guessed Qu Tong’s plan, and frowned at Qu Tong discontentedly.

"Okay."

Since Wen You had decided, she didn’t try to persuade her further.

"You didn’t lure them out on purpose, did you?" Wen You turned partially, curiously inquiring.

Qu Tong turned her head and smiled sweetly, "What do you think?"

"I’m sure of it. Lan Xingrui has never suffered such a big blow from birth until he became the Legion Commander. It’s easy to guess that he wouldn’t let you off."

"But it’s also his fault. It was supposed to be your exam. Even if Lan Weiying targeted you a bit, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Yet, he interfered as a supervisor and almost caused fatalities."

"Fatalities have already occurred," Qu Tong added.

"Don’t interrupt." Wen You glared at Qu Tong, "I’m talking about you."

Qu Tong touched her nose, signaling her to continue.

"Rest assured, even if the boss doesn’t allow me to protect you, as best friends, I won’t just stand by," Wen You patted her chest, her eyes fierce and determined.

Qu Tong chuckled softly, looking back at the sea of flowers.

Welcome to the trap I’ve carefully prepared for you!

*

Qu Tong closed off messages from strangers, a faint smile hooking at the corner of her lips, then turned around: "Let’s go."

Wen You released the aircraft.

The large aircraft, capable of carrying over a dozen people, only carried three.

Xu An insisted on following, so Qu Tong could only reluctantly agree.

After all, on Fei Wenxing, Gu Xiu and Xuan Ping were there to protect them.

As early as yesterday, Qu Tong had revealed the news of her planned return today while interacting with fans.

The aircraft had been traveling for most of the day when, upon nearing the Capital Star, it was trailed by four or five other aircraft.

Wen You, pushing herself to the limits, dodged the opposing craft’s impacts, cursing fervently, "Those must be disguised warplanes; otherwise, there’s no way they’d be faster than mine. This aircraft is the highest performance one available on the market."

"To the left! Here they come again!" Xu An exclaimed.

Wen You’s fingers moved nimbly, "Tongtong, help me pull the lever, speed up, and ram them!"

Qu Tong reached out and pulled the lever to its maximum.

The aircraft swished past the wing of an enemy fighter right in front and shot out of the encirclement.

Wen You’s piloting skills were sensational, performing various cool maneuvers and forcefully reaching the Capital Star’s territory, eventually stopping in a suburb under reconstruction.

The leader, wearing a black hat, seemed surprised to see the trio from Qu Tong’s group, but coldly smiled and oddly said, "That’s good."

His voice was husky, as though deliberately suppressed.

About twenty people across from them, with a clear target, pulled out guns and started shooting.

The man with the hat stood aside like a spectator, accompanied by an expressionless young man.

With Wen You there, bullets couldn’t harm them.

Qu Tong took out her Light Brain and dialed the police chief’s number, her voice frantic: "Hello! Officer, we’ve encountered Star Thieves, at Capital Star xx district xx road... Ah! Help! There are about twenty of them, I’m so scared!"

Qu Tong gave away all the essential information in bits and pieces.

The leader with the hat turned grim, and commanded the person beside him: "You go!"

The young man moved.

However, a sharp spiritual power was directed not at them but at the man with the hat.

"You!" The man with the hat flashed a look of astonishment and immediately raised his hand in defense.
