Chapter 88: Chapter 87 Sister Won’t Eat

```

Once everyone had arrived, the leader of the mercenaries directly lowered the two iron rods at the front of the machine into the water.

In an instant, the entire fishpond was filled with fish rolling over, their bellies up.

The mercenary leader grinned, showing eight teeth, "Qu Tong, my girl, is that enough?"

Qu Tong: "...Yes, it’s enough."

Then everyone started scooping up the stunned fish onto shore, now only choosing the larger ones and leaving the smaller ones behind.

The fridge in Qu Tong’s space was stuffed full.

The only preservation she had was from the large Space Button given by His Majesty the Emperor, for which she had even cleared a space to pile up the fish.

Half a day quickly passed, and everyone boarded the spaceship again, heading to the second planet, with an estimated travel time of 3 hours.

At the same time, on Capital Star.

In a luxurious suite, Lan Xingye, who was being intimate with Qu Wanwan in bed, suddenly had his communicator ring.

Lan Xingye hung up the call irritably, then bent down and continued kissing, hands busily moving.

Within two seconds, the urgent ringtone sounded again, and Lan Xingye got up annoyed, sliding his finger across the light computer, his voice thick with anger:

"Speak!"

An urgent voice came from the other end of the call, "Bro Ye, Biaozi and his guys are in trouble!"

Lan Xingye’s expression tensed, and he flipped out of bed without paying attention to Qu Wanwan on it.

"What happened? Explain clearly."

A hint of hurt flashed in Qu Wanwan’s eyes. She pulled a bath towel around herself to cover her exposed body, put on a thin coat, and followed him out of bed.

Qu Wanwan sat on the sofa, leaning her frail body against Lan Xingye without daring to apply too much pressure.

Her fingers rested on Lan Xingye’s thigh, lightly scratching, as she focused intently on the voice coming from the communicator.

It was Qu Wanwan who had reminded him of this matter, so Lan Xingye had no reason to keep her out of it.

Chen Erhu’s voice trembled a little, "Biaozi and his brother are done for, someone had a real grudge against them, their Spirit Seas are completely destroyed, and there’s no possibility of repair. Right now, they’re no different from imbeciles. And their...their genitals..."

Chen Erhu briefed him on the situation when he had found them, and one could easily hear the fright in his words.

Both Lan Xingye and Qu Wanwan were shocked upon hearing this, disbelief in their eyes.

Internally cursing them as useless, Qu Wanwan, however, had to pretend to be frightened and timidly said, "Third Young Master, what do we do now? Could the Royal Family have secretly sent someone to protect her?"

Lan Xingye pinched Qu Wanwan’s teasing hand, his face darkened, "No way. I’ve received no news of the Royal Family dispatching a trusted aide to protect her."

Lan Xingye couldn’t understand it. The Biaozi that Chen Erhu had hired had A-rank spiritual power, able to directly pierce through Spirit Barriers and destroy the entire Spirit Sea. To do that, one would at least need to materialize spiritual power, which is something even an S-rank Psychic would find very difficult to achieve.

If it were someone of SS-rank, why would they protect a worthless F-rank?

Could it really just be that Biaozi and his crew had bad luck and messed with the wrong person? But the severed genitals made him suspect otherwise.

Remembering how Qu Tong had made him lose face before, he felt very irritable, and to make matters worse, Qu Wanwan was at his side asking him what to do.

"That waste is not around these days, what else can we do? I’m going home for a while, you go back first." Lan Xingye’s tone was not kind, and after he spoke, he grabbed his coat and left, not sparing Qu Wanwan a single glance.

Qu Wanwan clenched her fists in secret frustration, turning her palms red.

But she could not throw a fit. She was very aware of her advantages and soberly acknowledged the gap between her and Lan Xingye.

She could only direct her discontent and hatred towards Qu Tong.

Hmph! Let’s see how long she could remain smug for.

Thinking she could stand out right after enrolling? She was really overestimating herself.

The light computer "dinged," alerting her of the received 100,000 Star Coins, and Qu Wanwan’s mood improved significantly.

At least now she wouldn’t have to be interrogated by her father about where the Star Coins were spent.

When Qu Tong arrived at the second Liuluo Star, it was already noon.

As soon as the mercenary team landed, they cleared out a space, and Qu Tong fulfilled her promise by sharing some of the fish with everyone.

However, Qu Tong didn’t use her special ability but instead took out the Purification Liquid given to her by Butler Chi.

The Purification Liquid was also quite expensive; a bottle costing 1000 Star Coins could only purify 500g of food, which was hard to afford for average families. Even the slightly well-off Qu Family couldn’t use it for every meal.

It was much more economical to directly purchase Purified Meat that had been processed in bulk by the Alchemist Association.

Qu Tong took out 30 vials all at once, purifying a sufficient amount of fish.

Grilling fish was simple. Some knew how to do it already, and those who didn’t learned quickly after watching Qu Tong demonstrate once.

Food purified with the Purification Liquid wasn’t entirely pollutant-free but met the edible standard, though the taste wasn’t as good.

Qu Tong secretly used her special ability to clean her own fish thoroughly and grilled it with the rest.

Given the opportunity to eat natural food, everyone preferred it.

While Nutrient Solution might fill the stomach and be affordable, it contained impurities.

Data showed that people who ate natural plants had lower frequencies of mental outbursts than those who always consumed nutrient medications.

While grilling, Qu Tong sprinkled some seasonings and brushed a bit of oil on her fish, not minding sharing these small amounts of condiments with everyone in turn.

Soon, the scent of grilled fish wafted into the air, and some couldn’t help but swallow saliva, their eyes fixed on their own fish.

One by one, everyone’s grilled fish was ready, and they couldn’t wait to taste it, even those on duty had teammates helping them grill.

Because the food was so precious, no one dared to eat too quickly, instead savoring it elegantly in small bites, though their eyes betrayed their composure.

They chatted while they ate, and the atmosphere naturally became pleasant.

Song Ke sat next to Qu Tong, looking at her as she elegantly ate her fish, "Sister Qu Tong, why do I feel like your fish smells exceptionally delicious?"

"Does it?" Qu Tong replied as if unconcerned.

"It does, don’t believe me? Try mine," saying so, Song Ke took out a small plate from her space and placed some of the untouched portion on it for Qu Tong.

Qu Tong stared at the small plate in front of her then picked up a bit with her chopsticks.

An unmistakable faint bitterness and slight fishy taste that even the seasoning couldn’t hide.

It wasn’t strong, but Qu Tong didn’t like it.

After one bite, Qu Tong didn’t care to continue eating.

In the spirit of reciprocity, Qu Tong directly shared the upper half of her fish head with Song Ke.

Her fish was large, and she couldn’t finish it anyway.

Song Ke accepted it politely.

After one bite, her look at Qu Tong changed.

"It turns out that even just grilling a fish, there can be a big difference in cooking skills."

Qu Tong just smiled without saying a word.

"Want to try mine?" Xu An’s voice came from behind.

Qu Tong was about to say she was full when she saw Xu An break a wooden stick into two, handing the bottom half with less bones and firmer meat to Song Ke.

Qu Tong felt a moment of embarrassment inside and gave Xu An a meaningful look.

Realizing Qu Tong’s gaze, Xu An became the one who felt embarrassed.

"Sister, have some too," Xu An offered the other half to Qu Tong.

"Sister won’t eat," Qu Tong teased with a laugh.
