Chapter 91: Chapter 90: In Front of Absolute Power

Xie Ci had taken the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion and eventually stabilized, but still remained in a coma.

After some discussion, everyone decided to return immediately.

Today’s harvest was already enough; there was no need to look for any more herbs.

Moreover, everyone’s spiritual power and physical strength had been almost exhausted. Now even two mid-tier Star Beasts could possibly wipe them out entirely.

The spaceship set sail once again, destined for the First Military Academy on Capital Star.

This time, Xie Ci was the most severely injured, while Qu Tong was the one who expended the most.

Therefore, during the distribution of supplies on the spaceship, Qu Tong received the same ratio as Vice Captain Song Ke.

All team members had no objections.

Even though they did not benefit from the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, they couldn’t have managed against the Mutated Wolf without Qu Tong’s assistance. They also hadn’t skimped on eating Energy Fruit and Nutrient Solution or the purification fish.

Qu Tong handed the empty gun back to Xu An.

The Empire had strict regulations on firearm management, not something ordinary people could easily buy.

This gun didn’t require spiritual power to use, but its power was not insignificant; it was something left behind by Xu An’s deceased parents.

After Xu An awakened his spiritual power, he never used it again.

Xu An put the gun away and asked, "When did my sister become such an accurate shot?"

He remembered the foster parents taking them to the military camp, where Qu Tong had practiced with a prop gun, but she wasn’t this accurate then.

Without showing any flaws, Qu Tong lifted her lips into a smile, "I suppose it’s a natural talent."

Xu An didn’t know whether to believe her or not, but he didn’t ask any further.

It was indeed true that in the Interstellar, there were those with natural talents in marksmanship, and quite a few of them. If one’s physical rank was high enough, they could experience enhancements in vision, perception, and other areas.

After two days and nights of travel, Qu Tong and the others finally returned to the academy. Xu An and the others took Xie Ci to the medical office, while Liu Hang went to find an instructor of the Pharmaceutical Department.

Qu Tong followed him, aware that Liu Hang’s visit this time wasn’t just about reporting on the mission.

When Qu Tong saw Xu Guangyong for the second time, he still had that snobbish attitude.

Liu Hang first handed in the mission and received his rightful reward before voicing his dissatisfaction.

Why would there be High-grade Star Beasts on the two Liuluo Stars marked by the Pharmaceutical Department as having herbs? Why was such a dangerous mission in the mission hall?

Xu Guangyong was completely unconcerned about the danger of Liu Hang’s mission, arrogantly retorting, "Just because you couldn’t complete it doesn’t mean others can’t. Besides, we just provided the places most likely to have medicinal herbs. We didn’t require you to go to Liuluo Star; you could have chosen not to go."

Liu Hang was almost driven mad by Xu Guangyong’s irresponsible attitude, unable to understand how such a person could be a teacher.

In the end, Liu Hang could only report the event to his own instructor and asked for help in reporting it higher up.

When there would be a result, or if there would be a result at all, he had no idea.

Liu Hang left in anger, and as Qu Tong turned back, she inadvertently saw Qu Wanwan entering an office at the other end of the corridor.

Qu Tong stopped and said to Liu Hang, "You go ahead; I have something to deal with."

Liu Hang nodded, "Okay, don’t forget to come to the gathering in a couple of days."

After Liu Hang’s elevator descended, Qu Tong walked toward the corridor that Qu Wanwan had just come from.

Before long, Qu Wanwan hurried out of the office, startled by an arm suddenly stretching out, but upon recognizing the person, her anger surged, "Qu Tong, what are you doing?"

After shouting, she met Qu Tong’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile. Despite being nearly the same height as Qu Tong, she always felt like she was shorter.

"Nothing much, just came to remind you," said Qu Tong, her voice airy and light.

As footsteps faded into the distance, Qu Wanwan stood still, breathing slightly heavier, eyes wide open.

She must know, she definitely knows!

Qu Tong has changed, she’s a devil!

Qu Wanwan gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with unwillingness.

"In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain, Qu Wanwan, watching you jump around like a clown amuses me very much."

An F-rank good-for-nothing, she doesn’t have any real strength.

It’s all because of the backing of the Royal Family and Prince Yuting.

Qu Tong, a worthless person like her, should have been ostracized by the Royal Family and neglected by Prince Yuting to become a target for all, and then humbly seek help from the Qu Family.

It should not be like this now!

If she had known this good-for-nothing could gain the recognition of the emperor and empress, she would rather call off the marriage than let her benefit from it.

Qu Tong leisurely strolled back to her bedroom, feeling pretty good.

Seeing Qu Wanwan grinding her teeth in jealousy and regret was so gratifying.

She really isn’t a nice person, huh.

She didn’t quite understand the hatred Qu Wanwan had developed for her, which became especially intense after her arrival.

Although the last incident didn’t cause her any substantial harm, she imagined if it were the original host, a woman as weak as a chicken, those methods could not be considered anything but ruthless.

So, as the saying goes, a favor for a favor, she should send her a grand gift.

Not long after returning to her bedroom, Xu An sent a message saying that someone needed to meet her, someone had responded to the recruitment message she had posted online.

Qu Tong originally let Xu An decide on his own, but Xu An said this person was somewhat special.

Qu Tong had no choice but to make the trip in person.

Upon arriving at the predetermined restaurant, a man in a suit was already sitting there, with two glasses of orange juice and one glass of water on the table; the man had already drunk half of the water.

Xu An led Qu Tong to check the table number and walked up to greet him.

"Hello, I’m the recruiter you were in contact with, you are Ke Jun, right?"

Ke Jun looked up and saw a young man and a young woman across from him without any surprise.

As a seasoned operator, he should have done his homework before coming here.

He found the job posting online, and normally the ones that say salary negotiable he wouldn’t even look at, as they usually mean a low salary not worth mentioning, and companies like that often find ways to exploit their employees.

But now he had no choice, nearly all larger farms had some cooperation with the agricultural colleges.

After multiple considerations, he chose this small shop.

"Hello, please sit, would you like to eat something? Here’s the menu." Ke Jun even stood up, displaying a polite attitude.

Xu An passed the menu to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong looked at the prices on the menu and raised an eyebrow.

Then she selected a few dishes and handed the menu back.

Ke Jun took the menu, his expression clearly stunned for a moment, then he added two more dishes himself, and turned to signal the waiter to bring the dishes Qu Tong had ordered.

Seizing the moment, Xu An introduced Qu Tong, "This is the owner of our store, and I’m her brother, helping her manage the fruit and vegetable shop."

"Hello, Princess Consort, a pleasure to meet you," Ke Jun greeted naturally after doing his homework in advance.

Seeing Ke Jun seemed not to recognize her, Qu Tong lifted her lips in a light smile, "Hello, driver sir, did you manage to sort out your family matters?"

Ke Jun was initially startled, then he looked at Qu Tong, and embarrassment gradually spread across his face, "It’s all sorted, don’t worry, it won’t affect my work."
