Chapter 472 Is this what you call being fed and cared for?

Qu Tong knew that the people who coveted her had not disappeared.

However, Si Yuting had been planning for more than half a year to abolish the interstellar protection order, so they had lost their legitimate reason. Once they took action, they would have to consider whether they would be able to leave alive.

Her father and mother will protect her, Si Yuting and Wen You will protect her, Old Man Yuan and Brother Liang will protect her, her brother and Fei Wenxing will also protect her, and the residents of Luo Yi Star will side with her...

Along the way, she is no longer alone.

Her father was an enlightened emperor who now had complete control over the court affairs, and she believed that everything would be alright.

Qu Tong nestled in Si Yuting's broad, warm embrace and continued scrolling down to the next trending news item.

It happened to be about the engineer who was kidnapped by Cyprus. Qu Tong sat up straight, and Si Yuting looked over when he saw her movement.

The news report described an elderly woman pleading with the police superintendent to dispatch the army as soon as possible to rescue the person, and also revealed her video communication with her son.

Qu Tong clicked on the video.

In the video, the engineer's face was sallow, his cheekbones prominent, and he burst into tears when he contacted his relatives...

Qu Tong and Si Yuting watched the video together and then fell silent.

Qu Tong opened Cyprus's communication app, and the chat box was filled with messages.

Cyprus learned how to send voice messages, and then began to harass her tirelessly, sending her messages every now and then.

Does anyone understand what it feels like when the chat window is filled with voice messages? And they're all 60 seconds long...

Anyway, she never turned it on or listened to it.

However, Si Yuting would occasionally take a look when she had free time, and he would tell her about any interesting or information he felt was necessary.

For example, the term "King" used to refer to the mate of the Queen of the Zerg and was a general term for SS-class Zerg, but now that Cyprus has become the new Queen of the Zerg, the title "King" is now exclusively used for male rulers.

For example, the Zerg have always been ruled by females, largely due to the fertility of the Zerg queen. However, Cyprus do not have this ability and can only balance this by distributing superior males to other females and using the Qu Tong potion.

Of course, what Si Yuting didn't say was that Cyprus said all this just to show that he didn't have a female yet, and that his chastity was reserved for Ali.

But what's the use? He won't let Ali know that Ali will always belong to him.

Si Yuting thought to himself, Qu Tong had already sent a message: [Giving them bugs and lettuce is considered treating them well?]

Cyprus replied almost instantly:

Isn't that right?

These mealworms are natural food that we painstakingly caught, and we're reluctant to eat them ourselves. They're highly nutritious and are the most popular food among us.

[And these green vegetables, they were transported from your place, a delicacy only the noble, high-ranking female insects can enjoy.]

They really enjoyed it and always finished it all.

Cyprus seems to be saying: I clearly fed them the best food, so why is my sister blaming me?

Qu Tong fell silent again.

Mealworms may be precious to the Zerg, but the Engineers are human. Don't you see how they feel like vomiting at the sight of mealworms infested with maggots?

There's nothing wrong with eating natural foods, but humans don't like eating raw vegetables.

Also, if you send a dozen or so advanced Zerg to guard the area, how could they not eat them all?

Without professional training and learning, most people are afraid of the Zerg, let alone the Zerg's lair, where there are hundreds of millions of Zerg.

Qu Tong asked Si Yuting what to do.

Si Yuting took Qu Tong's personal computer and communicated with Cyprus.

Cyprus was very talkative when he was with Qu Tong, but as soon as he realized that the person opposite him was Si Yuting, he became taciturn and his words were filled with extreme reluctance.

Si Yuting didn't care about these things; he only wanted to explain and solve the problem in the fastest way possible.

Cyprus, having lived in human society before, didn't expend too much effort.

The situation eased, and the engineer's family was able to have a less anxious and restless New Year.

The day before, the capital planet had already experienced its umpteenth snowfall.

Qu Tong was given a special day to go out, but she couldn't play in the snow.

She and Si Yuting entered the palace together, and that year's Spring Festival was celebrated in a grand manner under the Empress's management, more so than in the previous twenty years.

Qu Tong watched the performance and also witnessed a grand ancestral worship and blessing ceremony.

When the priest placed a bracelet with ancient bells next to Xiaoxue's cradle, and a thousand-person sacrificial procession behind him chanted incantations, Qu Tong realized that the second half of the blessing ceremony was prepared for Xiaoxue.

In fact, people in the new era no longer believe in these things, and Qu Tong is no exception.

But it would be a lie to say she wasn't grateful that someone had gone to such lengths for her daughter and wished Xiaoxue a smooth and peaceful life.

Putting Si Xian aside, the Si family was definitely the most loving and least royal family she had ever seen.

"What are you thinking about?"

Si Yuting noticed that Qu Tong was in a daze for a long time, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Qu Tong snapped out of her reverie and gave Si Yuting her brightest smile: "I was thinking, I should thank Qu Wanwan, and I should thank everyone in the Qu family."

Upon hearing this, Si Yuting's eyes flickered slightly. He took Qu Tong's slightly cold hand into his palm and smiled gently, "Yes, I should also thank them."

Qu Tong's face was reflected in Si Yuting's deep eyes, and an endless warmth spread through them.

He should thank Qu Wanwan for not marrying him, and even more so, he should thank his mother for her stubbornness.

"Auntie, let's go to Yuxue Garden for dinner tonight, and bring Xiaoxue along."

After the prayers were finished, Nian Nian skipped over, tugging at Qu Tong's sleeve and swaying back and forth.

"Okay." Qu Tong popped the two white pom-poms on each side of Nian Nian's head.

Si Yuting had already told himself that this year's reunion dinner would be held in the Crown Prince's palace.

After finishing our meal, we returned to Yue Lan Bay at exactly midnight. Just then, the sky was ablaze with the most beautiful fireworks, even more spectacular and numerous than last year's display.

Everyone at Yue Lan Bay watched with her, and everyone's face was filled with happiness.

Qu Tong prepared gifts for everyone in Yue Lan Bay, and even the Tianlang Army soldiers on duty received a high-level mental energy stabilizing potion.

Although it was sent by Butler Chi, Qu Tong could hear a loud "Thank you, Madam" from outside the courtyard every two seconds, as if using the greatest strength she could muster in her life.

Nonsense! One dose of the madam's medicine is worth 200,000, which is equivalent to their annual salary and allowance. How could they not shout? If they weren't forbidden from leaving their posts, they would have rushed in to give the madam a dose.

The ringing lasted for more than half an hour before it stopped. Si Yuting smiled helplessly and said, "Ali, you're going to spoil them by doing this."

Qu Tong looked puzzled: "Don't you usually give them benefits during the Chinese New Year?"

“It will be paid, but as a year-end bonus, plus double pay and performance evaluation at the end of the year,” Si Yuting explained. “For example, Xuanping’s year-end bonus was 20,000 to 40,000 before he was selected as a guard. Now it’s 50,000 or more. However, he probably prefers the rewards you give him casually over the year-end bonus.”

"I see." Qu Tong understood, but did not regret her decision.
