Chapter 413: Chapter 412: The Imperial Sister-in-law Said She Won’t Come Back

The Crown Prince and his people received Niannian’s distress signal and rushed over immediately.

With tears brimming in her eyes, the Crown Princess Consort held her daughter and said, "Niannian, were you frightened? Are you hurt anywhere? If anything hurts, you must tell Mother Consort."

"Mother Consort, I’m alright; don’t worry," Niannian replied with surprising calmness.

The Crown Princess Consort checked Niannian from head to toe to ensure there were no injuries other than the mark on her face before she truly felt relieved.

"Where is Miss Jun Li?" the Crown Princess Consort asked Niannian, not seeing Qu Tong among Cang Qiang and his people.

"Auntie went to chase the bad guys," Niannian said.

The Crown Princess Consort corrected her once again, "Niannian, it’s Miss Jun Li, don’t call her that carelessly. If your auntie found out, she would be sad."

"It is Auntie," Niannian arrogantly lifted her little face, "Mother Consort, you’re so silly."

The Crown Princess Consort was taken aback, and even the Crown Prince behind her was surprised.

Could it be that what Niannian was saying was true?

Niannian didn’t understand the confusion in their eyes and, holding the Crown Princess Consort’s hand, she began to chatter in admiration.

"Auntie is so amazing; she made the bad guys run away in a panic."

"Auntie said I will also awaken such a powerful Special Ability in the future."

"I like Auntie the most; she took me on a roller coaster ride."

"Auntie..."

The Crown Princess Consort watched her daughter talk about Auntie incessantly, feeling helpless.

Little Tuanzi was brimming with excitement, her little face flushed, and she wouldn’t stop babbling like a little fangirl.

If one didn’t know the details, they might think she had just experienced an exciting adventure game.

They were also relieved that the experience wouldn’t leave her with any trauma.

After discussing matters with the people of the Kasa Empire, the Crown Prince and his entourage went their separate ways.

On the spaceship back to E12 Star, Niannian finally fell asleep in the Crown Princess Consort’s arms.

She was still holding tight to a slightly frayed pouch in her sleep, not even giving it to the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess Consort.

When Si Yuting arrived, it was already midnight. After briefly understanding the situation from Wu Yue, he flew alone in a flight vehicle to patrol around the Wasteland Star where Niannian was found, but there was no sign of Qu Tong. However, he found the bodies of Du Biao and several key leaders on another planet.

Si Yuting brought back the bodies to E12 Star for inspection by Feng Lin’s subordinates who were in charge of the case.

Si Yuting watched the first light of dawn breaking and opened his Light Brain, with the last message saying "Communication call-back not connected" with Qu Tong.

The Venomous Snake Pirate Group had been taken care of, but he had no idea where Ali could be.

Wu Yue said that Ali was injured while rescuing Niannian.

Guessing that Qu Tong should be resting at that time, he chose to send a message instead.

Si Yuting stared at the red notification in the chat box, his expression freezing.

What’s going on?

Why did Ali block him?

Si Yuting looked at the screen projection from the Light Brain, standing there stunned for a long while.

After a while, he called Wu Yue over.

"Boss?" Wu Yue felt that his leader didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.

"Find someone to go to the black market and ask Elder Yuan about the lady’s condition," Si Yuting instructed with a stern face, "Also, let me know as soon as Little Princess wakes up."

"Yes."

Wu Yue immediately sent someone to carry out the orders.

Si Yuting glanced at the Light Brain, his lips tightly pressed and his eyes deep.

After a moment, a soldier came forward to report that Feng Lin was looking for him to discuss matters.

The people of the Crown Prince were also present, mainly concerning what was found on the Venomous Snake Pirate Group’s ship.

"After examination, the deaths of those on the ship and the bodies Grand Marshal brought back are consistent, which confirms they were Jun Li’s doing," the soldier reported.

"With the capture of more than four hundred people, the main force of the Venomous Snake Pirate Group is here; even if there are some deserters, they’re just small fry with no real power, incapable of causing any trouble," the soldier continued.

"We were able to completely eliminate the Venomous Snake Pirate Group, thanks in large part to Miss Jun Li’s assistance,"

As Feng Lin spoke, his gaze occasionally fell on Si Yuting.

Si Yuting’s face showed no emotion, and he remained silent throughout.

Niannian’s words were overheard by many, and lots of people witnessed what happened at the Commerce Tower. The more daring ones asked directly about the doubts in their hearts, "Is Miss Jun Li really the Prince Consort?"

All eyes suddenly focused on Si Yuting.

"Really? Little brother, is Miss Jun Li your wife? That’s why Du Biao knew that by capturing Niannian, Miss Jun Li would show up?" The Crown Prince was also very curious.

"Hmm." Si Yuting knew he couldn’t hide Ali’s identity any longer, so he gave a faint nod, providing an answer.

The room filled with sounds of amazement and realization, along with a sense of surprise.

They felt the world was somewhat fantastical.

Turns out the person who was ridiculed by everyone not only had an SSS-rank Special Ability but was also a Senior Alchemist.

The looks directed at Si Yuting were filled with envy and resentment.

How did it happen that every good thing fell into the lap of Grand Marshal Si?

But there was no helping it; who could blame him for his discerning eye?

When the Prince Consort married him, she had revealed nothing, not showing any edge.

Yet, the hand that Si Yuting usually rested lightly on the table had stopped moving.

Looking serious and focused, he was actually lost in thought.

The last time they had fallen out was the only time they had argued.

Could it be that Ali was angry with him because her cover was blown?

But he felt that Ali wasn’t that kind of person.

Si Yuting glanced subconsciously at his Light Brain again, his brows tinged with worry.

After the meeting ended, Si Yuting, walking behind, was stopped by Feng Lin.

"Did you know about this from the beginning, Grand Marshal?"

Si Yuting merely glanced coolly at him, the answer self-evident.

Feng Lin could barely conceal his shock, remembering how he had pursued Miss Jun Li in front of Si Yuting. Now, though, he hardly dared to meet Si Yuting’s eyes.

He now understood why Miss Jun Li said she liked the Grand Marshal’s type.

It turned out she was the one playing the game, while he was the fool.

"Grand Marshal, I am sorry," Feng Lin bowed deeply and earnestly with an air of frankness.

"It’s fine," Si Yuting replied coldly and left.

Feng Lin stared at Si Yuting’s retreating back, heaving a sigh.

Honestly, it was a bit of a shame. It’s very rare to come across a woman so suited to his taste.

He had hoped to spend more time with her, to get to know her gradually, but it turned out she was already married.

He had no choice but to let go of that idea.

Thinking back to when Si Yuting told him his wife had come in first on her term exams, he felt a twinge of jealousy.

Someone as outstanding as Miss Jun Li surely deserved first place.

Not long after Si Yuting left, he received a message from Wu Yue saying the Little Princess was awake and wanted to see him.

Si Yuting immediately turned around and headed for the hotel where Niannian was resting.

In Niannian’s room.

"Uncle, Aunt asked me to give this to you," Niannian said with a sense of mission, handing the bag to Si Yuting with both hands.

When Si Yuting opened the bag, he found the necklace he had given to Qu Tong and the Space Button.

There were also a dozen or so other accessories, nearly all Space Buttons.

"Did your auntie tell you anything else?" Si Yuting asked.

Niannian rolled her eyes in thought, "Uncle, are you and Aunt not getting along? Auntie said she’s not coming back."
