The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 411 - 410: The Crushing of the SSS

Chapter 411: Chapter 410: The Crushing of the SSS

The prolonged wait was torturous, exhausting both mind and body.

Until voices were heard outside the door once more, no one knew whether an hour or two had passed, or perhaps even longer.

"It’s quiet already? If she’s alive, have her cleaned up and sent to my room later."

"Don’t worry boss, I used three times the usual dose, ensuring that woman couldn’t make a sound no matter how badly she’s hurt."

The vulgar words were nauseating. Qu Tong’s half-lowered eyelashes suddenly flared open, fierce eyes hidden in the darkness, like a wolf poised to strike.

"It’s a pity for that little one, otherwise, if we took her back, she would keep those maniacs busy for half a year." Du Biao seemed certain the person inside was either dead or injured, and thus unable to hear their conversation, so he didn’t bother to lower his voice at all.

"Later I’ll have someone collect her body, put it in the freezer, and take it back either way." The skinny-chinned man spoke as casually as if discussing the weather, clearly accustomed to such matters.

"You don’t understand, a live specimen is naturally more valuable, and moreover, that little thing is the rare SSS-grade." Du Biao still regretted using Niannian as bait to lure Qu Tong.

The skinny-chinned man could only agree repeatedly.

"Haven’t we already caught her? Starve her for a few days, and she’ll comply. Why the extra effort?" Another person couldn’t help but question.

You know, a Mental Outburst could be lethal, and no one could control that chance, especially not with such a large dose.

"Of course, it’s because she crossed the boss," replied the skinny-chinned man. "Think about it, we’ve built this base for how long, and she destroyed our Venomous Snake Pirate Group’s largest base, plus we lost nearly ninety percent of our brothers. We must teach her a lesson."

"Besides, what does a woman need such high spiritual power for? Just be compliant."

"A fiery girl has its own flavor."

The skinny-chinned man pressed the remote control, and the iron door opened.

"Damn it! What is that?"

The iron door had just opened when a vine shot out, startling the Star Thief in front with a cry of surprise.

However, as the vine approached, it abruptly changed direction, heading straight for the remote control in the hand of the skinny-chinned man.

The skinny-chinned man sensed the danger and immediately summoned his spiritual power.

The vine flexibly changed its attack, entwining the man completely and yanking forward.

The remote control in the skinny-chinned man’s hands was flung away as a result.

In a blink of an eye, soil spikes and vines collided, and the remote control shattered into tiny pieces scattering everywhere.

Glancing at Qu Tong, Du Biao remarked, "Still alive, good. It’s such a loss to send you to the research facility after causing me such damage. Might as well keep you by my side as a pet and have you bear a couple of SSS-grade cubs for me. Can’t waste your top-grade Fertility Value."

The broken remote didn’t concern Du Biao much, were there not iron bars still?

He didn’t take Qu Tong too seriously.

At that moment, Qu Tong was pale, with sweat-soaked hair sticking to her forehead. Sitting on the ground, her body riddled with bloodstains, she looked in complete disarray.

So Du Biao and the others didn’t suspect a failed effect of the Elixir, assuming she was merely at the end of her tether, struggling in vain.

Qu Tong’s gaze darkened—he obviously knew quite a lot!

"Do you think that’s possible?"

Her voice held an unprecedented chill.

Without hesitation, three vines with blood-red spikes darted through the gap, targeting the trio’s vital points.

Du Biao and the skinny-chinned man narrowly dodged, but a cry of terror came from beside them.

The one with slightly weaker abilities couldn’t withstand the attack; the Spirit Power Barrier was instantly shattered, and the vine mercilessly pierced through the man.

Blood stained the vine, eerily enchanting.

Du Biao finally realized the severity of the situation.

"How do you still have so much spiritual power?" The sharp-chinned man glanced at the brother beside him who had died with his eyes open and visibly panicked.

If it hadn’t been for being flung to the back and given enough reaction time by the boss’s block, he would have been dead by now.

"Boss, what do we do? She’s SSS-rank."

"What’s the panic, ain’t I SSS-rank?" Du Biao never believed the elixir was completely ineffective against Qu Tong, he flexed his fingers and walked over menacingly, "I just can’t believe today that a duck delivered right to my hands can fly away."

"You’ll have to believe it, today you’ll see the difference between those of the same SSS-rank."

Separated by an iron door, Qu Tong’s smile was cold and fierce.

With the environmental influence gone, Qu Tong’s condition was gradually recovering, and even with only half her spiritual power left, it was enough to deal with Du Biao.

The difference between the small grades of SSS-rank was like a ravine separating heaven and earth.

"Boss, I’ll go call for backup."

Leaving that line behind, the sharp-chinned man decisively took off, displaying the Star Thieves Gang’s self-centeredness in full measure.

The control room’s materials were indeed highly robust and could completely withstand an SSS-rank attack, but that was for those mental outburst sufferers who lacked the ability to think and only knew violent dismantling.

The thick vines tightly wound around the iron pillar, loop after loop, tightening and suddenly yanked upwards with force.

Without the control of the remote, there was a "click", and something came loose.

In a few seconds, a pillar was pulled out of the ground by the vines.

Qu Tong’s slender waist was swaying, one was enough.

The result Du Biao couldn’t believe was that the Star Thieves aboard the whole spaceship were either dead or injured.

Du Biao could never have dreamed that the secret weapon he had put so much thought into creating for his escape to heaven would turn into his own cage.

Qu Tong walked in from the doorway, holding Little Tuanzi in one arm, her cheeks pink and tender, as vines wrapped around her wrist, through her palm, draping down in front of her, billowing green and bright red.

And Qu Tong herself, despite being in disarray, simply standing there exuded an air of breathtaking elegance.

"Don’t come any closer, if we die, no one can pilot the ship, and you’ll die too," Du Biao threatened, gasping in pain with every word due to the wound in his chest.

For the first time, he truly felt the fear of death, having roamed the three empires for so many years, to be brought down by a woman twice, how could he accept that!

Qu Tong was not at all intimidated, nor did she show any sign of stopping.

As it happened, she could pilot it; she had picked up a thing or two from hanging around Si Yuting.

She wasn’t very skilled, but it was enough to deal with the current situation.

With only Du Biao and a few subordinate bosses left on the ship, Qu Tong planned to make it a quick battle.

Qu Tong ensured that she fought far from the cockpit, but somehow, someone who didn’t know better still made it inside.

The moment Qu Tong sensed the ship listing and veering off course, she rushed toward the cockpit door.

Just as she reached the doorway, the ship’s body emitted a loud "clang", jarring enough to make one’s eardrums ache.

A sudden feeling passed through her body, and Qu Tong had to lean against the door panel to barely stabilize herself.

The next second, the pressing mechanical voice sounded.

"Attention, attention! Damage to the starboard side of the ship, energy leaking, please passengers take safety precautions! Emergency landing imminent! Emergency landing imminent!"

The alarm blared with flashing red lights, signaling the urgent situation at hand.
