Chapter 426: Chapter 425 Protecting My Wife

"I think you all make a very good point," Qu Tong lazily lifted her eyebrows, "But Luyi Star is not for sale, nor is the formula."

After she spoke, there was silence for a few seconds.

Everyone turned to look at Qu Tong in disbelief, finding it hard to believe she still dared to refuse under such circumstances.

"You said, what?" Si Xian rose from his seat, speaking very slowly, his gaze towards Qu Tong extremely oppressing.

It was clear to everyone that Si Xian was angry.

Yet Qu Tong stood up calmly in front of everyone, smoothed her skirt, and said with neither servility nor overbearingness, "Wasn’t it meant to be a discussion with me? My opinion is, I disagree."

"So, may I leave now?" Qu Tong glanced at her Light Brain, ignoring the dark-as-ink expression on Si Xian’s face as she moved towards the door.

"Hiss~" Someone gasped in admiration for Qu Tong’s fearlessness.

Elder Ouyang and his people blocked the door, "Young lady, don’t think you can dismiss the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Qu Tong’s expression turned cold, "Move aside."

Elder Ouyang was clearly prepared as he raised his hand, and dozens of people both inside and outside the hall aimed their Ion Guns at Qu Tong.

Elder Ouyang leisurely took out a gun from his space, aimed it at Qu Tong, and smilingly said, "I advise you to sit back down and talk things through. Don’t think we invited you here today just to hear your opinion."

"These are Ion Guns that can penetrate a Spirit Power Barrier; to get through this door, let’s see whether your agility or my men’s guns are faster..."

"Snap!"

Before Elder Ouyang could finish his sentence, he was whipped away by a Thunder Whip.

Elder Ouyang, struck dumbfounded, was about to explode in anger but then met Si Yuting’s piercing eyes, "Elder Ouyang, whom are you aiming at with your guns? My wife, the Second Prince Consort of the Empire?"

Si Yuting moved like lightning, positioning himself protectively in front of Qu Tong.

Elder Ouyang, holding his mangled right hand, endured the pain, downplayed the situation, "This woman is selfish and self-serving, she does not deserve to be a Prince Consort."

"Is that so?" Si Yuting looked at Elder Ouyang, his eyes slightly narrowed, his voice cold as frost.

Elder Ouyang stood his ground, "The Jianan Royal Family is the backbone of all citizens in the Empire, yet she, as a member of the Royal Family, not only refuses to voluntarily share the nation’s worries but also haggles over every little thing, only caring about her own gains and losses, not considering the difficulties faced by the nation at all. Such an unworthy woman..."

"Whether she’s worthy or not is not for you to decide." Si Yuting didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence, interrupting him, his powerful spiritual power transforming into tangible threads that attacked the gunmen.

The dozens of Ion Guns clattered to the ground.

It was the first time Elder Ouyang faced Si Yuting’s immense power, and the shock made him tremble all over.

Yet he understood that at this point, not to advance was to retreat.

So, Elder Ouyang gritted his teeth, braving the intimidating power, and raised his voice.

"Admiral Si, as the Empire War God and the faith of the Empire, you’re blatantly protecting someone harming the nation’s interests, trampling on the hearts of the people."

"Do you know how many people want a naturally conceived child?"

"Can you bear to watch more and more people left without successors?"

"It’s not just about a planet; it’s about the future of the Empire, the hope of the Empire!"

"If I don’t bravely take this step, the future newborns will only decrease in number, and their strength will diminish with each generation."

"The progress of the era needs someone to push it forward, and if Admiral Si insists on persistently protecting this woman, I am willing to be the first to sacrifice!"

Listening to Elder Ouyang’s speech about noble sacrifice, Qu Tong felt there was something odd.

She looked around and saw no broadcast ball.

Si Yuting whispered a reminder in her ear, "It’s an invisible broadcast ball."

Qu Tong frowned.

So, from the moment she entered this palace, everything had been live-streamed on the Star Network.

Damn it!

Moral coercion!

Knowing that they had no justification, they wanted to rouse public opinion to pressure her.

The interests of one person, one Genetic Bank might not be that important, but what about the citizens of the entire Empire?

Qu Tong felt like cursing!

Truly shameless to the extreme.

In the live-streaming room, the vast number of netizens were swayed by Elder Ouyang’s emotions, some silent, some reflective, and some radicals stood up to speak:

[I don’t get it, the Prince Consort has earned so much money, yet she’s still unwilling to contribute to the nation.]

[Right, His Majesty only wants to pay for it, not take it for free.]

[I never realized before, but the Prince Consort is such a selfish person. Isn’t this making the War God look bad?]

[The War God isn’t much better, he’s been utterly bewitched.]

[Is Elder Ouyang wrong? Although his methods are extreme, his intentions are good.]

[Indeed, if everyone only thinks of their own gains and losses, the nation will become a loose sand, never able to progress, and the overall Fertility Value will never rise.]

[Elder Ouyang’s righteousness.]

[The War God has been such a disappointment.]

Just as Qu Tong was about to say something, she was pulled back by Si Yuting.

Si Yuting stepped forward, imposing his SSS top-grade spiritual power onto Elder Ouyang, forcing him to collapse to the ground under the strain, with a "thump".

The transparent live-streaming orb nearby, no longer invisible, revealed its lenses flashing red.

Si Yuting raised his foot, stepping on the left hand that Elder Ouyang stretched out towards the live-streaming orb, and spoke to the orb with an icy voice, calm and unhurried:

"According to Imperial Laws, Volume II, Article 1350, without the individual’s consent, no one may seize another’s property by any means."

"According to the Imperial Laws Addendum, Article 35, apart from the Royal Guard, Legion, and Police Department, no one is allowed to use firearms within the Imperial Palace, let alone point a gun at members of the Royal Family. Qu Tong is my wife, the Second Princess Consort officially announced to the Empire by the Royal Official."

Si Yuting’s stern gaze swept over the others, "Elder Ouyang, and members of the Elder Council, pointing guns at her, attempting to fire at her—even if under the guise of acting for the nation and its people, you cannot conceal your crimes of coercion, force, and disdain for the law."

"Everything I have done to protect my wife is in accordance with the law. To anyone who feels this is not in accordance with the law, please report to the Supreme Court and initiate legal proceedings."

Then, Si Yuting’s gaze turned to Si Xian and others behind him.

"Luyi Star is a dowry from the Royal Family to my wife. Luyi Star, including all of its output, is something my wife constructed and created on her own."

"The sale of Energy Fruits and Vegetables from Luyi Star on the Star Network is open to all equally, and the quantity is increasing day by day. This is her utmost contribution to the nation."

"If the Genetic Bank and Central Hospital wish to study the Energy Plants, they may compete to purchase, or negotiate amiably with my wife, not resort to intimidation and coercion with a gun."

"I hope the Genetic Bank can truly benefit the public as you have just said, rather than seek welfare for individual fertility medical institutions."

"Finally, as Qu Tong’s guardian, if anyone still disputes the ownership of Luyi Star, feel free to come and talk to me personally, thank you, everyone."

Si Yuting said a lot all at once, not only listing Elder Ouyang’s crimes but also responding to the public opinion, whilst tactically outmaneuvering the Genetic Bank.

As soon as he finished speaking, the live-streaming orb exploded with a "bang".
