Chapter 359: Chapter 358: Life Should Be Fully Enjoyed When Successful

Tampering with the examination system privately, invading candidates’ privacy, and using his authority to attempt murder on the Crown Princess Consort, which led to casualties among the candidates, should have resulted in his dismissal and imprisonment for reflection.

But Lan Xingrui shifted the most severe charges onto his deputy, while he only admitted to a lack of supervision and was penalized for it.

In the end, his military rank was reduced from Lieutenant General to Major General, he was suspended for six months, and he had to pay a total fine of about 15 million Star Coins for the serious consequences caused by his subordinates.

Three million of that was for Kong Yang’s family, 2.5 million was for Qu Tong, and the remaining 9.5 million was used to cover the costs of energy and manpower loss.

The personnel responsible for the security arrangements of the exam also received respective punishments.

Although Qu Tong was not entirely satisfied that Lan Xingrui could still get around, crippling his top assistant was gratifying.

Lan Xingrui was much more experienced than that foolish Lan Xingye, so the approach to dealing with him had to be gradual.

Ding~

Qu Tong, looking at the 2.5 million that had been transferred to her account, fell silent for a moment.

"Your Highness, you really didn’t have to fight for so much compensation on my behalf,"

Logically, she should only have been considered scared, and normally, that wouldn’t justify such a large sum.

While receiving the money pleased her, the amount...

"Emmm... it’s unlucky."

Ding~

The Light Brain lit up again.

[Received a transfer of 380,000 Star Coins from SUS.]

"Now it’s lucky," Si Yuting put away the Light Brain and grabbed Qu Tong’s hand.

Qu Tong’s face split into a big grin: "Your Highness really understands me."

"Ali, change the note."

"Change it yourself." Qu Tong took off the Light Brain and tossed it to Si Yuting, then went off to count Energy Stones.

The court trial ended today, and Gong Yun had handed over the Energy Stones from last month’s trade with the Insect Clan to her.

A Space Button full of Energy Stones, colorful and varied.

Some Energy Stones were beautiful enough to be used as gems.

The Insect Clan, foolish as they were, had a surplus of Energy Stones. With this transaction, she wouldn’t have to spend a high price to buy Energy Stones anymore.

The losses previously inflicted by the Insect Clan could also be gradually recovered.

After visiting the Imperial Palace together, Butler Chi told Qu Tong that Ke Jun and his group had come looking for her.

Qu Tong headed for Yingyue Bay.

"Miss, Taotao and Xiaoguang both passed the test!" Xiang Bin, usually shy and reserved, didn’t know where to put his hands in his excitement while facing Qu Tong.

"Congratulations!" Qu Tong said with a faint smile.

"Miss, did you also give Xiaoguang and Taotao the Constitution Potion?" Ke Jun pulled out two of Xiaoguang’s medical reports, which stated Physique as A: "Xiaoguang’s Physique Level was previously B."

"Taotao’s Physique Level also changed, from C+ to B+, rising by three subgrades," Xiang Bin added.

"I suppose so," Qu Tong took Xiaoguang’s report and looked it over.

It marked in red the changes in Xiaoguang’s data before and after, showing Physique had risen from B+ to Quasi-A and Fertility Value had also increased by 1 point.

RA7745, if used at the appropriate age, should have effects far better than the Constitution Potion.

But both Xiang Tao and Xiaoguang had missed the best usage time, so the effect was much less than that of Niannian, and it took longer to take effect.

However, their Physique could still be improved further with Constitution Potions or Void Crystal Stones in the future.

"Miss, thank you."

The two of them didn’t know how many times they had thanked her, but besides thank you, they really did not know what else to say.

Qu Tong, uninterested in being sentimental, asked nonchalantly, "When are you returning?"

Ke Jun: "We were planning to leave after seeing you, Miss."

"Then leave tomorrow instead, come find me at the school before you go," Qu Tong arranged straightforwardly.

"Yes." Both of them agreed, suppressing the urge to return today and get their Physique tested earlier.

*

Qu Tong prepared to go back to the school to find Old Man Yuan and opened her Light Brain to send a message to Si Yuting.

Seeing the pinned words "Husband," her brain didn’t react for a moment.

She chuckled softly right afterward.

Her Highness really was...

Qu Tong opened the chat box and sent a message: [Husband~]

The reply came instantly.

Qu Tong answered with a smile, "Your Highness."

"I prefer the title Ali just used," Si Yuting said in a deep voice.

"Miss Qu Tong, when outside, perhaps use a different title," Qu Tong purposely mimicked Si Yuting’s cold and serious tone from before.

Si Yuting: "..."

Qu Tong haughtily snorted, "I can remember you for a lifetime."

Si Yuting had no choice, silence was golden.

After Qu Tong had her laugh, she finally brought up the important matter, "I need to prepare some elixirs."

"Will you come back tonight?" Si Yuting asked.

"Hmm~" Qu Tong pondered for a moment and answered, "Probably not coming back."

"Hmm." Si Yuting’s voice was faint, showing no emotion.

"Husband?"

"I’m here." His voice fluctuated.

"Bye~"

After finishing, Qu Tong hung up the phone.

Having teased Si Yuting, Qu Tong entered the laboratory in a particularly good mood.

"Almost got calculated to death, yet still so happy," Old Man Yuan rolled his eyes skyward.

"Didn’t die, did I?" Qu Tong shrugged nonchalantly, selecting the herbs she needed from the Space Button: "Life must be enjoyed fully."

"Must clock out on time."

"Ha~ Spend less time on the Star Network."

"Isn’t it to prevent Alzheimer’s?"

...

Qu Tong and Old Man Yuan spent the entire night, barely managing to turn the golden hue of the Constitution Potion to an orange-yellow, almost like carrot-flavored Nutrient Solution.

Qu Tong handed over more than twenty elixirs to Ke Jun and Xiang Bin, asking them to bring them back for the right people to use, and instructed them to ensure that the elixirs did not get out and to personally watch them consume it.

Xiang Bin and Ke Jun, understanding the seriousness, took note earnestly.

At the school, with a complete video, the application for Points distribution was quickly approved.

Hu Xiao only received a little over 9000 Points, while Xu An, as the main force, naturally received the most points. Adding the portion Qu Tong gave him, Xu An nearly reached 100,000 Points by himself.

The others were envious, expressing a desire for such a sister.

In a rare humorous moment, Xu An let them think whatever they wanted.

Once out of the campus, Qu Tong boarded the Bai Family’s aircraft, having promised the Crown Princess Consort previously at the Imperial Palace.

During the court session, the video of the attack by the ninth-grade Star Beast somehow got out, sparking another wave of hot discussion about the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha.

Qu Tong wasn’t visiting the Bai Family’s mecha research workshop for the first time.

The head of the Bai Family was a very amiable old man, different from Gong Yun’s unspoken intimidation and hidden sharpness — the Bai Family head was more like a businessman, slick yet sincere.

The Bai Family head politely requested to see Qu Tong’s mecha, but she declined.

Although she knew why the Bai Family head had summoned her, her mecha was indeed loaned to Fei Wenxing and hadn’t been retrieved yet.

The Bai Family head did not insist but led Qu Tong to a liquid crystal display.

The screen was paused on the scene where she narrowly escaped from under the tail of an Electric Patterned Snake, with the high-resolution calculation screen below displaying the data of that instant.

"The Prince’s Consort, the mecha you used during the exam wasn’t a Sky-roaming Prime Mecha, was it?" the Bai Family head pointed to the speed that was more than double the normal value.
