The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 393 - 392

Chapter 393: Chapter 392

"Will Sister not want me anymore?"

Qu Tong: "??"

Sai Pu’s lovely blue eyes drooped, like a pitiful little puppy.

"What’s so good about that old man, can’t Sister wait for me? I will come to find you very soon, I will marry you..."

Sai Pu looked up, his big eyes deep blue as the sea, brimming with sorrow.

Regardless of whether he was pretending or truly upset, Qu Tong remained indifferent.

"I’ve made myself very clear, there’s no chance for us."

"Sister, I don’t mind, please don’t reject me."

As he spoke, Sai Pu tried to pounce on Qu Tong.

Qu Tong prepared to retreat but didn’t expect Sai Pu to move much faster than before, catching her arm by surprise.

An instant chill washed over Qu Tong’s expression, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

Qu Tong tried to pull away, but Sai Pu was holding on too tightly, and she couldn’t break free.

Without hesitation, Qu Tong raised her other hand and chopped down with her palm.

Then, Sai Pu loosened his grip.

Qu Tong withdrew to a distance of two meters, her hands gathering pale green dots of light, "If you can’t understand human language, I’m somewhat familiar with Insect Clan etiquette."

The leaves trailed pale green tails, scattering towards Sai Pu like celestial maidens dispersing flowers, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Heartless woman!" Sai Pu cursed under his breath, his figure vanishing from the spot.

He reappeared on the other side, dodging to the side as his sense of danger kicked in.

The next second, Qu Tong’s attack grazed his shoulder.

After more than a dozen exchanges, Sai Pu, already physically compromised, was naturally no match for Qu Tong.

Caught off guard, he was violently flung by Qu Tong’s vines against a tree trunk, the impact solid and loud.

Clutching his chest and coughing twice, Sai Pu’s complexion was paler than before as he conceded before the next attack could land:

"Sister, I admit defeat."

Qu Tong landed nearby, her vines shrinking and coiling up her wrist three times, her expression cold as she watched him.

"I’m already injured, and you still hit so hard." Sai Pu stood up from the ground, his tone much more serious than before.

"You brought it on yourself."

Sai Pu knew Qu Tong was referring to his touching her. From the beginning, she had not allowed him to get close, and a hint of bitterness flashed quickly in his eyes.

"I won’t say those things anymore, and I won’t touch you without your consent either," Sai Pu compromised and softened his stance for the moment.

Because he knew, without compromise, this woman would beat him into submission following the Insect Clan’s principle of the victor’s right.

Qu Tong remained silent as the Qingmu dissipated from her wrist.

"Sister, I’m now injured on top of an existing injury, my Spirit Stone is almost shattered, and you played a role in that. It can’t be too unreasonable to ask to stay here to recuperate, right?" Sai Pu said with a mischievous smile, his eye corners lifting.

Although Sai Pu was still in a child’s body, making such an expression did not feel out of place at all, both naughty and beautiful.

Given Sai Pu’s utterly pale complexion, he indeed seemed in a bad state.

The Spirit Stone of the Insect Clan was just as vital as the human heart.

But what did that have to do with her?

He had sought her out for a beating of his own accord.

Before Qu Tong could refuse, she received Si Yuting’s entry application.

"Hmm?"

Shouldn’t Si Yuting be at the Fifth Legion’s boot camp at this time?

Though puzzled, Qu Tong still manually approved Si Yuting’s application.

In fact, she had set permission levels for both Si Yuting and the people on the planet; any entry applications would automatically be approved 15 seconds after being submitted.

Si Yuting should be arriving soon, and Qu Tong headed back.

Sai Pu was now considered an uncertain factor and was brought along as well.

This time, Sai Pu had transformed into a child, yet his strength had not been subdued—in fact, it had even increased somewhat.

Although Qu Tong trusted that Sai Pu would not harm anyone on her planet, she was worried he might ravage her farm completely.

Since their last conversation, she knew that although the Insect Clan could eat anything, Energy Fruits and Vegetables could help them grow better, and consuming large amounts when injured could speed up their recovery.

When Si Yuting arrived and saw Sai Pu, he was somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"

Sai Pu looked at Si Yuting with extreme displeasure, huffing heavily without any intention of answering.

"He just got here; I haven’t figured out what happened yet." Qu Tong gave a brief explanation.

Si Yuting nodded and scrutinized Sai Pu.

Sai Pu frowned unhappily.

Qu Tong took out a watermelon she had cut earlier from the fridge, and before she could reach Si Yuting, she felt Sai Pu’s intense and resentful gaze upon her.

Qu Tong placed the plate in front of Sai Pu, took two pieces, handed one to Si Yuting, and began eating one herself.

"How did you get here?"

Si Yuting took it and replied, "Three Pharmacists of the Alchemist Association have been murdered, and I’m in charge of the investigation. My flyer is half a day faster, so I stopped by to check on you on the way."

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, biting into her watermelon, "What did you find?"

"The Insect Clan did it," Si Yuting’s gaze shifted towards Sai Pu.

Sai Pu acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to eat his watermelon without lifting his head.

Si Yuting continued, "We’ve tried contacting the Insect Mother, but couldn’t reach her, so I’m preparing to take some people and go see for myself on Insect Star."

The Insect Mother also knows a bit about the Light Brain; they added contact information when they were negotiating before.

No sooner had Si Yuting finished speaking than Sai Pu interjected coldly, "She’s dead."

Qu Tong looked surprised, "Did you do it?"

Sai Pu held his watermelon, giving Qu Tong a flirtatious smile.

"If I’m not mistaken, the Insect Mother was your mother, and currently, 90% of the Insect Clan SS-rank and above were birthed by the Insect Mother," Si Yuting said, equally surprised.

"You’ve done your homework," Sai Pu stared straight at Qu Tong, "So, sister, will you hate me? I ate my own mother."

The last sentence, Sai Pu spoke softly and slowly.

Qu Tong was taken aback not by Sai Pu’s words.

It was because the look Sai Pu gave her was different from any time before, vaguely struggling but with a sense of resolute breakage.

In the Insect Clan, there is not as much family affection as in humans; it’s more about survival of the fittest.

The relationships within the Insect Clan are messy, with even some of the Insect Mother’s consorts being sons she bore.

The Insect Mother has authority over the entire race; her offspring can serve as consorts or as food.

But to personally devour one’s own mother is still something that requires time to digest, right?

"What does that have to do with me?" Qu Tong responded indifferently, as before.

Sai Pu laughed, "Without eating her, I couldn’t have gained the ability to open wormholes, nor could I have attained a higher strength limit."

Sai Pu seemed to be explaining intentionally for Qu Tong.

"So now you are the new... emperor of the Insect Clan?" Qu Tong deliberated, choosing a human term.

"Not really, other members of the Insect Clan can obtain the Insect Mother’s abilities in the same way."

Qu Tong and Si Yuting began to understand.

A major revolution had occurred within the Insect Clan, and Sai Pu must have paid a substantial price to defeat the Insect Mother; now, he was fleeing.

"The members of the Insect Clan who killed Pharmacists in the Canaan Empire, what’s their relationship to you?" Si Yuting asked coldly.
