Chapter 394: Chapter 393 Poor Sai Pu

Sai Pu finally looked at Si Yuting seriously, "You don’t need to go to Insect Star anymore. The Insect Clan is in chaos now. Nobody is there to help you with this. However, you can let your sister assist me, and I can help you quickly find the Assassin Alchemist of the Insect Clan."

Si Yuting remained composed, "Then, can I take this opportunity to take down the Insect Clan in one fell swoop?"

Sai Pu was stunned, "You have forgotten that you have just signed a contract with us."

"It was you who breached the contract first."

Sai Pu had nothing to say, "But without me, you won’t be able to open the pathway to the Bug Nest."

"What if I destroy you and the wormhole together? You happened to be injured, didn’t you?"

Sai Pu instantly became cautious, and after a moment, he laughed again, "It’s useless. If I die with this ability, a new ruler capable of opening wormholes will emerge in the Insect Clan after a few decades."

"If a few decades of peace can be secured, that’s enough," Si Yuting’s dark pupils fixed on Sai Pu sharply, his lips curving slightly. "Moreover, your incubation period lasts over a hundred years. Doesn’t a new Insect Mother need time to grow?"

The astonishment in Sai Pu’s eyes was unmistakable; he clearly hadn’t expected Si Yuting to play his cards so unconventionally, his thinking alarmingly sharp.

Si Yuting tossed a watermelon rind into the trash, warning lightly, "Don’t harbor thoughts you shouldn’t have. Now, it’s you who have delivered your life into my hands."

Sai Pu trembled with anger, his already weak body seeming like it might faint at any moment.

Qu Tong stood by, watching the confrontation between the two with leisure.

Sai Pu’s pleading gaze turned their way, and Qu Tong spread his hands nonchalantly, "Don’t look at me, talk with my husband. Whatever he says, I agree with."

Qu Tong’s remark successfully darkened Sai Pu’s face.

On the contrary, Si Yuting was visibly pleased.

Their gazes met, a handsome curve forming at the corners of his lips.

In the end, weighing the pros and cons, Si Yuting humanely allowed Sai Pu to recover on Qu Tong’s planet and even helped Qu Tong upgrade the Planetary Shield to the highest grade.

After all, Sai Pu was the one who facilitated the peace treaty for the coexistence of the two species. The other leaders of the Insect Clan, once the turmoil had subdued, it was still uncertain if they would attack again.

Though they weren’t afraid, they did not want to cause unnecessary casualties either.

Sai Pu handed over a Female Stone that could sense powerful members of the Insect Clan.

And he guaranteed that once he returned, he would hand over all the rebellious Insect Clan members to Si Yuting and provide compensation according to the peace coexistence treaty.

Of course, the clever and wise Grand Marshal didn’t fight battles he wasn’t sure of winning, nor would he easily trust empty promises, so he put an electromagnetic collar on Sai Pu.

This collar was the latest research from the scientific research institute, personally modified by Si Yuting, incorporating all his Thunder-element Ability—it was the only one of its kind in the world, a great item specifically against the Insect Clan.

Impenetrable by knife or gun, relentless against varying elements.

Though it might not necessarily take Sai Pu’s life, serious injury was inevitable.

Si Yuting set a two-year limit: after two years, the Thunder-element Ability in the bracelet would automatically dissipate.

Sai Pu was initially completely unwilling, but Si Yuting won him over with moral authority.

Sai Pu couldn’t stay a moment longer, storming out furiously.

He hadn’t made it to the doorway when he fainted.

Qu Tong’s lips twitched, glancing at Si Yuting, "Look how you angered him."

"It’s his poor coping skills," Si Yuting calmly stated.

Yes, yes, yes! With Si Yuting’s oppressive presence, how could Sai Pu possibly fare well?

Having just escaped one life-threatening situation, only to encounter another seizing the opportunity, this was undoubtedly the darkest time in Sai Pu’s life.

Qu Tong contacted Ke Jun via Light Brain and walked over, kindly preparing to infuse some spiritual power into Sai Pu.

"Can we change the place of contact?"

Qu Tong’s finger hadn’t yet touched Sai Pu’s forehead when she was stopped by Si Yuting.

"Oh."

Qu Tong assumed Si Yuting was jealous that she was touching another man’s face, though Sai Pu only looked about six or seven years old now.

So, she didn’t mind and moved to touch the back of his hand instead.

Upon this examination, she realized how truly dire Sai Pu’s condition was; he was hanging by a thread.

This was partly due to her and Si Yuting’s involvement.

He had been severely injured, but there must have been healing abilities within him supporting him, keeping him from passing out.

Later, she saw in the Insect Clan detailed explanatory materials brought back by Si Yuting that both the original Insect Clan and the Queen had certain healing abilities, but these were not infinite, and while they worked well on physical injuries, they were somewhat less effective on spiritual power damage.

Sai Pu was also enduring, bearing such serious injuries while still managing to negotiate with Si Yuting.

Qu Tong did not impart too much Special Ability into Sai Pu, only enough to ensure he would wake up within a day.

There must have been something more to Sai Pu’s injuries that her abilities alone couldn’t fully heal.

Out of a sense of conscience, she wrapped a small section of vine with Qingmu’s essence around his hand.

Ke Jun soon came over and took Sai Pu away for recuperation.

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do next? Are you going back now?" Qu Tong asked Si Yuting.

There was no need to go to Insect Star, but the case likely needed a progress report.

"I’ve explained everything to Cheng Feng, who will handle it for me. The affairs of the Fifth Legion are also being overseen by someone else." Si Yuting closed his Light Brain and looked at her tenderly, "How about I stay with you for a couple of days?"

"Sure!" Qu Tong smiled and happily agreed.

Si Yuting leaned in and kissed her lips briefly, then pulled away, "Let’s go, I’ll also visit my former subordinates."

Just as Ke Jun had arrived, he mentioned that Tang Shigui and others were seeking an audience and were waiting outside the villa.

At their first sight of Si Yuting, a group of men were a bit surprised.

They stared at their Grand Marshal’s wife’s neat attire, wondering if they hadn’t disturbed her during the day.

Si Yuting’s brow furrowed slightly under their gaze.

Observant as always, the sixth man coughed lightly, prompting everyone to salute in unison, "Grand Marshal."

Si Yuting nodded faintly, his gaze sweeping over each face radiating with health and vitality. He asked coldly, "How are you all feeling now?"

"Great! Quite well." Tang Shigui was the first to answer excitedly, "The lady’s place is especially rejuvenating. Since coming here, we’ve become much more robust. We now train daily as we did in the Legion, without any pressure; the old problems with the Spirit Sea haven’t recurred, and we can even consume eight elbow joints in a day."

Tang Shigui struggled to suppress the details about the Constitution Potion from the Grand Marshal.

Although they will always hold the Grand Marshal in reverence, they had retired and were now employees of the lady’s planet, and she had treated them so kindly.

After Tang Shigui finished, the others also chirped in with their own good news.

Although Si Yuting had anticipated it, hearing it firsthand still surprised him.

His deep eyes fell on Qu Tong, a warm current flowing through his heart.

Qu Tong was discussing training matters with the sixth man.

Tang Shigui and his group had once been an elite squad under his command, unfortunately having faced the most intense periods of the Insect Clan’s attacks.

Now, as they looked at Ali, their faces glowed with a long-lost vigor and a heartfelt loyalty.
