The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 392 - 391: Do I Look Like I Lack Money?

Chapter 392: Chapter 391: Do I Look Like I Lack Money?

Qu Tong took the number she had drawn and went to the waiting area out of sight of the big screen, waiting for her number to be called to enter the stage.

Qu Tong had drawn a teacher from another class, S-rank.

Outside the arena, Zhu Jidan pulled up Qu Tong’s entirely red grades from the educational system and clicked his tongue as he turned to Han Song next to him, "Han Teacher really knows how to teach; first, it was Grand Marshal Si, and now another one comes along."

Teacher Han laughed, "How could I teach them."

Sometimes you had to admit, the achievements of students with high Physique Levels had little to do with him.

"Like they say, birds of a feather flock together - all the freaks are grouped together," Zhu Jidan remarked before continuing, "Your student Xu An is also performing very well, I heard he is quite exceptional in the rookie camp."

"That child," Han Song nodded affirmatively, "is indeed good, more diligent than talented, rash but not reckless."

Like Qu Jianming back in the day, daring and willing to endure hardship.

Thinking this, Han Song suddenly found himself missing the days he had spent as comrades in arms with Qu Jianming.

If only medicine had not been so scarce back then, or if it had been like now, a peaceful coexistence with the Insect Clan, they should all still be alive and well.

Qu Tong cleared the stages smoothly, successfully passed the grade-skipping exam, and would be able to directly get her diploma next year.

Many watched with passionate envy.

The Empress called Qu Tong into the Imperial Palace to celebrate that evening, and she also stayed the night in the princess room prepared for her by the Empress.

Upon seeing Qu Tong’s outstanding performance during the exam on Star Network, Lan Weiying felt irritated, her hand tightening unconsciously.

With a "snap," the elixir worth 500,000 in her hand broke apart, and the pain from the glass shards penetrating her flesh brought her back to reality.

Releasing her hand, she looked at the wound in her palm where elixir mixed with blood, her expression gradually turning gloomy.

"Drip-" An access-granted alert sounded outside the door, and Lan Weiying hid her injured hand behind her back.

Looking up, she saw Lan Yuanhui walk in through the door.

"Xiaoying, the three pharmacists who went home previously haven’t come back yet," Lan Yuanhui said, clenching his hands with concern.

Lan Weiying responded coldly, "Isn’t there still one day left?"

"Could they possibly not come back? Our Alchemist Association hardly has a few Senior Alchemists now."

This worried guess wasn’t baseless for Lan Yuanhui, especially since they had previously wanted to leave the Alchemist Association, and only their stepping back had temporarily stabilized them.

"No, they won’t leave without taking advantage," Lan Weiying stated.

Going their own way, they would hardly have the conditions they currently enjoyed.

Herbs, equipment, what didn’t cost money?

She had made inquiries before allowing them to leave the Alchemist Association.

The three of them lived extravagantly, indulging in luxury without saving any money.

Human nature is greedy; even if they had some, they wouldn’t pass up such a good sales channel as the Lan Family offered.

An elixir worth 2 million each, even if they only got half the profit, was still better than selling it themselves for 500,000.

If the Lan Family hadn’t faced a critical crisis this time, she wouldn’t have planned to disclose it.

"Since Xiaoying says so, then I believe you," Lan Yuanhui lacked decisiveness and habitually took his daughter’s advice in many matters.

"Xiaoying, you’re busy, I’ll check whether the elixirs for next month are ready," Lan Yuanhui said as he left, completely missing the bloodstains on the floor in front of Lan Weiying.

A hint of mockery crossed Lan Weiying’s eyes as she brought her hand back in front of her.

She took medication from the Space Button, quickly bandaged it, then continued preparing elixirs with a cold face.

However, things didn’t develop as expected.

None of the three Senior Alchemists came back, nor could they be contacted.

Lan Weiying sent people to the pharmacists’ homes to check, ultimately confirming the pharmacists had disappeared again.

The matter was reported to the Military Department.

The disappearance of the Pharmacist was a major event, and Si Yuting was forced to halt the affairs of the Fifth Legion and lead a team to investigate the matter.

At that time, Qu Tong had already returned to Luyi Star with Old Man Yuan.

More than half of the people on Luyi Star had noticed changes in their physique.

Tang Shigui and others, Qu Tong had also administered Constitution Potions to them, but S-rank could only rise by one minor grade.

For ordinary people, Qu Tong had Xiang Bin explain the situation to them and then let them choose whether or not to take the Constitution Potion.

After all, having a Physique Level would increase their lifespan, but it also meant enduring Mental Outbursts, and the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion was a significant expense.

However, to Qu Tong’s surprise, everyone chose to take the potion. Upon further inquiry, the reasons made her both laugh and cry.

Xiang Bin had told them that their salaries would increase in the future.

Now, with the income from Energy Fruits and Vegetables increasingly beneficial, she and Xiang Bin had indeed devised a new salary structure.

However, the lowest standard was to work for three years before a salary review, and not a single person on Luyi Star had reached that yet.

Xiang Bin directly knocked them out with a big pie.

Qu Tong brought the last batch of the Elixir, and administered it to the remaining people.

Old Man Yuan’s habit of feeling sorry for others flared up again, looking at Qu Tong unfavorably, mumbling, "Such precious Elixirs, giving them to A-rank would maximize their effects, yet you gave them away for free to those with inferior physique and even ordinary people."

"It’s simply a waste of heaven’s gifts!"

"Oh my! My heart! I can’t take it anymore."

Qu Tong did not care, "Using it on our own people, how could that not be maximizing its effects?"

Old Man Yuan was still very distressed, "That’s all money, a lot of money!"

"Do you see me lacking money?"

Qu Tong’s words broke Old Man Yuan’s defenses utterly, "Alright, alright! You are rich, I am just a poor devil, just an old poor devil, huh! Damn rich people!"

Old Man Yuan walked away cursing.

Still, studying Elixirs was steadfast; he loved Elixirs!

Qu Tong stretched out her hand to admire the manicure Xiang Tao had done for her, pink and tender, quite pretty.

The Light Brain suddenly flashed an alert at this moment.

[Unidentified objects invading!]

[Unidentified creatures invading!]

The planetary defense system connected to the Light Brain, after alerting twice, mysteriously returned to calm.

The red dot on the surveillance screen also disappeared.

Qu Tong frowned, got up, and left the villa; the location where the red dot had appeared was in the direction of the back mountain.

As Qu Tong approached the boundary of the back mountain barrier, she saw a figure.

"Sai Pu?"

It was almost certain that this fellow had triggered the alert.

Sai Pu had reverted back to the appearance of a six- or seven-year-old child with a purple tattoo still around his neck.

Sai Pu got up from the ground, looking pale and pitifully called out, "Sister."

Qu Tong looked at Sai Pu’s weakened state, curiously approached, "How have you reverted to this again, are you hurt?"

Just as Sai Pu was about to answer Qu Tong’s question, he sensed a special aura, opened his blue eyes wide, and looked intently at Qu Tong.

After a while, he sadly asked, "Sister, do you not want me anymore?"

Qu Tong: "??"

Sai Pu’s beautiful blue eyes drooped, looking like a pitiful puppy,
