Chapter 385: Chapter 384 Too tired, take a break

"The point is, you’re wasting it! Even if you sold the elixir to them, they would be extremely grateful to you. This is a special-grade potion that money can’t buy. By giving it away, you’re making it seem cheap, you know?"

"Hmm, I got it," Qu Tong answered, following along with Old Master Yuan’s words.

"As long as you know. Don’t be so generous next time, it’s quite heartbreaking to see," Old Master Yuan said, nodding satisfactorily on the other end of the communication.

"Right, you said you’d give me half the money, no backing out now."

Qu Tong: "..."

That night, when Si Yuting came back, Qu Tong had already fallen asleep.

Si Yuting lifted his wrist and checked the time on the light brain.

8:45

So early?

Based on his daily interactions with Ali, she was the type who habitually stayed up late. As long as there was nothing on the next day, it was quite common for her to sleep around eleven or twelve o’clock.

According to Ali’s skewed logic, she went to bed late and rose late, which was very regular and balanced. As long as she maintained a good eight hours of sleep every day, she wouldn’t die suddenly.

If Ali were an ordinary person, he would have dissuaded her somewhat, but given that Ali had a strong physique and Jiang Zhou regularly checked on her, he just let her be.

However, this did match his own routine.

He turned and went back to his room for a quick shower before coming over.

The cold light from the starry sky stone illuminated the girl’s jade-like face, her thick curled eyelashes casting a shadow over her lower lids, creating a serene and peaceful feeling.

Shifting his gaze, the spot he usually occupied on the bed was half taken by a large white goose, which his little wife was holding in her arms with both hands and feet.

Si Yuting used a bit of strength to pull the large white goose out of Ali’s arms and threw it on the floor.

He gave the goose on the floor a faint glance before climbing into bed and pulling his fragrant and soft little wife into his embrace.

His little wife didn’t wake up; she just made two soft noises from her throat, automatically searching for a comfortable position. Her delicate, boneless hand reached under his pajama shirt, and her fair, slender leg draped over his.

Qu Tong’s voice and movements kindled a warmth in Si Yuting’s body.

But in the end, he just sighed and did nothing.

A good night’s sleep.

The next day, when Si Yuting came out of the training room and walked into the living room, his gaze paused for a moment.

Inside the living room, the butler Chi was adjusting the daily program for the domestic service robot.

"Uncle Chi," Si Yuting called out to the butler, "Did the lady have any activities yesterday?"

Butler Chi stopped what he was doing and respectfully answered, "The lady went to school in the morning and came home around 5:30 in the afternoon. She tended to the vegetable garden and stayed upstairs after dinner."

Si Yuting tapped his forefinger against the back of his hand and nodded his head to show he understood.

Then he asked Qianqian to prepare breakfast so he could bring it up to call for Ali.

Going upstairs, he found that Qu Tong was already awake, sitting on the bed, seemingly lost in thought.

She turned around when she heard his footsteps.

"Your Highness, when did you come back?"

"Around eight-forty," Si Yuting replied briefly, calling for Qu Tong to come have breakfast.

Qu Tong responded with an "oh," "Just let me wash up."

Qu Tong slipped into her slippers and quickly freshened up in the bathroom before coming out.

The breakfast today included shrimp, and Si Yuting had already peeled them and placed them on a white porcelain plate for her.

"Thank you, husband." Qu Tong sat down across from Si Yuting and gave him a sweet smile.

Si Yuting glanced at her and started to eat his portion as well.

After eating, Si Yuting pulled Qu Tong onto his lap, running his fingers through her hair, "Don’t tire yourself out too much, take a break."

Si Yuting knew that Qu Tong was helping with the training for Fei Wenxing and others, ever since her spiritual power had been revealed, she had openly assisted them in enhancing their combat ability and would occasionally accept sparring requests from Xuan Ping and his group.

In addition, for the Mecha Single Soldier Department, which previously required the use of spiritual power, Qu Tong didn’t need to attend those classes, but now she was scheduled to, and even Han Song had specially increased the difficulty for her.

Originally Qu Tong had passed the advanced-level examination, which meant she didn’t need to take those classes.

With Ali’s combat ability so strong, there wasn’t much left that the school could teach her.

"Mm, I understand." Faced with Si Yuting’s sudden concern, Qu Tong obediently responded.

She had indeed been focusing on the Sleep-Aid Potion project recently and had expended quite a bit of her spiritual power.

"How are things going with the Fifth Legion?" With Si Yuting there, Qu Tong couldn’t be bothered to check the Star Network herself.

"Very smoothly," Si Yuting briefly and concisely updated her on the situation.

The few who had caused trouble that day were disciplined and had the corresponding Honor Points deducted, and were sent back to Capital Star.

The confirmation of Gong Yun’s Spirit Sea recovery forced the National Council to approve Gong Yun’s recruitment application, and the announcement would be released tomorrow.

Additionally, after Qu Tong’s maneuvers, no one dared to question whether Gong Yun could serve as the commander of the Fifth Legion.

Lan Jianghong, as an important representative cooperating with the Military Department, was said to have emerged from the last meeting with a face so dark it could drip ink.

*

The recruitment announcement, once released, caused yet another sensation.

Qu Tong also learned that the soldiers who had previously applied for retirement were full of regret when they heard that Gong Yun was not only not pleading with them to come back but was also planning to recruit and train new soldiers; they shamelessly applied for reinstatement.

However, Gong Yun only approved a small portion of the ordinary soldiers with outstanding achievements; the majority of the soldiers and all of the officers’ applications were rejected.

This was probably a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.

Qu Tong couldn’t help but gloat when she heard this news.

Serves them right!

Did they still think it was the Lan Family of old?

In the end, they managed to completely eliminate their last bit of real power in the military.

It was truly a joyous turn of events.

After the business sector suffered a blow, the military sector was thoroughly finished.

Each step was within expectations, yet each step brought unexpected delights.

While recruitment was in full swing, Xu An suddenly sought out Qu Tong and shared with her his intention to enlist.

"Commander Gong said he won’t serve as the commander of the Fifth Legion for long; he will promote and train anyone suitable for the role. Besides, there are more than a dozen positions available for lieutenants and above in the Fifth Legion, which is a rare opportunity," Xu An conveyed, his eyes firm, sharing the latest news he had received with Qu Tong.

After hearing this, Qu Tong stroked her chin, "That might be a bit challenging."

"?" Xu An was somewhat puzzled.

Qu Tong continued to analyze, "It seems difficult to assume the position of a commander without being SS-rank, it’s hard to command respect."

Qu Tong seriously appraised Xu An, "Even if you really have the strength, by the time you manage to climb up there, someone else might have already beaten you to it. After all, there are plenty of people more capable and experienced than you, and parachuting in is not impossible."

Xu An listened, bemused and somewhat at a loss.

He said he had looked over the recruitment requirements and met them all, and he also had the advantage of being a military academy graduate with Honor Points, so how could there be difficulties?

"You’re overthinking it, sister. It would already be great to become Commander Gong’s right-hand man," Xu An said, not harboring such grand ambitions.

Qu Tong suddenly realized her misunderstanding and smiled awkwardly, "A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Xu An also laughed along, "I’ll do my best."
