Chapter 142: Annual Gifts
After getting on the spaceship, Qu Tong sat down on the edge of the bed with ease without Si Yuting's reminder.
Si Yuting left a message "I'll call you when we get there" and then helped Qu Tong close the door and leave.
Qu Tong couldn't help but sigh that this small compartment seemed to have become her exclusive lounge. Si Yuting probably didn't use it much because he wanted to fly the spaceship.
Qu Tong lay on the bed with his clothes on and took out his laptop to talk to Xu An and the others.
Si Yuting is rigorous in his work, I think the school has already said that.
When I opened the communication, I found that Fei Wenxing had just created a group and several other people were already chatting in it.
Whoever the spear sticks to will die: [From now on, our champion team will speak in this. 】
Song Ke: [Can you change your name before speaking? ]
Cheng Yao: [Yes, there are three beauties in the group. Luckily I changed the note in advance.]
Fei Wenxing: [You are the only one who knows how to pretend. ]
Sun, Moon and Qing: [Hello everyone. ]
Fei Wenxing: [Hello, beautiful princess. ]
Qu Tong also changed his note to his name and sent a message to the group: [Your Highness and I will go back first, don’t miss me too much. ]
Xu An: [Okay.]
Song Ke: [Envy.]
He Zhou: [Have a nice trip.]
Sun, Moon and Qing: [Sister Princess, we will see you when we get back. ]
Cheng Yao: [Sister Tong, are you going to abandon us? I will miss you so much.]
Fei Wenxing: [Sister Tong, please take me away. How can I live without you? ]
Qu Tong: [……]
Qu Tong twitched his lips and didn't want to pay attention to anyone. Any topic would become weird when it came to Cheng Yao and Fei Wenxing.
Especially Fei Wenxing, Qu Tong even suspected that the shape of his brain was different from that of normal people.
Qu Tong turned off the laptop, put his hands behind his head, and looked out the window at the magnificent nebula.
What gift should I prepare when I meet the Crown Princess’s precious daughter for the first time?
She was not a person who was very worldly-wise and didn't know what to give to the one-year-old baby.
But Si Yuting's family is so good to me, so I still have to pay attention to the annual gifts and give them something practical.
Qu Tong thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a good idea.
She had to take out her laptop and ask Wen You for help, but she rejected all the suggestions Wen You gave.
Finally, Wen You said that he could not help and suggested that she think about what she wanted when she was a child.
Qu Tong touched his wrist, and found a mark that looked like a leaf or a flower hidden faintly on his skin as white as unpolished jade.
When she was a child.
What do you want?
Of course I want to live, how simple it is.
Those memories were too heavy and she didn't want to recall them.
But it did remind her of something that might be useful.
The coolness flows through the blood throughout the body, the only useful one among thousands.
But she was not a physician, nor was she exactly a pharmacist.
She remembered the recipe, but didn't know if it would work.
For professional matters, of course, you should find professionals.
Qu Tong lifted the quilt, got up from the bed and asked Si Yuting.
"Your Highness, can you take me to Loy Star?"
Si Yuting turned around and saw Qu Tong with only his head sticking out from behind the door, looking at him with wet eyes, so adorable.
"good."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Tong smiled sweetly at Si Yuting and then retracted her smile.
After returning to the room, I started to buy medicinal herbs online and paid extra money to use the portal.

As Qu Tong thought, Si Yuting was very busy. He sent Qu Tong back to Loy Star and left.
It was still early morning when they arrived at Loy Star. Qu Tong directly turned on the lights in the yard through the light computer.
When the lights were turned on, Qu Tong was almost startled by the person lying on the elderly chair in front of him.
"Old man Yuan, why are you sleeping here instead of in the house?"
Yuan Hewen raised his eyelids and said in a weak voice, as if he had not yet woken up: "Disciple, you are back."
Qu Tong sensed something was wrong and looked down at Yuan Hewen's expression.
Sure enough, Yuan Hewen's complexion was not very good. His lips exposed under the beard were a little cracked and pale, and his already dark yellow face full of wrinkles looked even darker, giving people a feeling of old age.
Qu Tong used his mental power to sense and found that Yuan Hewen's already broken and silent spiritual sea had a slight reaction at this moment, but this mental power was very unstable and there was a tendency of riot. It was unclear whether it was good or bad.
Qu Tong was a little surprised: "Are you trying to repair your spiritual sea?"
Yuan Hewen was surprised at Qu Tong's sharpness, but did not deny it: "Yes."
"Your spiritual sea is broken. Is it really useful to stimulate it like this?" Qu Tong asked his doubts.
She still admired Yuan Hewen very much. Others whose spiritual sea was broken would either become fools or "beasts", but he could live a normal and sober life for so many years.
Yuan Hewen smiled bitterly: "We have to try it out to see if it works. If we continue like this, we won't live for many years."
Qu Tong nodded. That was right. After all, he was once a master of alchemy, so he had to give it a try.
Qu Tong looked at his painful expression and shook his head. If he wanted to lie down in the yard, then he could lie down. It wasn't him who had a cold anyway.
Yuan He heard Qu Tong was about to go back to the house, and cursed her in his heart for being heartless. He called out weakly, "Little girl, wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" Qu Tong turned around again and yawned slightly.
"It will be a little more comfortable to lie down in this yard. All the plants in this yard are planted by you. I know you must have your own methods. If you just help me, I will definitely treat you as a real apprentice and teach you everything I know."
Yuan Hewen negotiated in a voice that sounded almost pleading.
Qu Tong's eyes moved, thinking about what he was going to trouble him about, and asked, "Are you sure that my method of growing these plants will be useful to you?"
"Not sure. I've tried various methods over the years, and this is the best hope I can see."
Yuan Hewen's old voice was full of a sense of brokenness, that feeling of seeking hope in despair, which made Qu Tong feel a little sympathetic.
"If it backfires, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm old enough to not care about my dignity."
"Okay, let's sign the contract."
“…”
Yuan Hewen almost fainted.
"Little girl, we should help each other, why do you want me to sign a contract to sell myself?" Yuan Hewen was weak but full of energy.
"You are willing to teach me everything you have learned throughout your life. This is an equal exchange, so that you don't have to occupy the title of my master and eat and live in my house with a clear conscience, and live on my planet in the future."
Yuan Hewen's already aching head became even more painful, but he stubbornly looked up and glared at Qu Tong: "Little girl, don't cheat an old man like this. Isn't the hard work of half a lifetime enough to support me for the remaining decades? Isn't it okay for me to pay for it?"
Qu Tong grinned, a little regretful: "That's fine."
"Then hurry up, I'm in so much pain." Yuan Hewen looked like he was seriously ill.
Qu Tong's lips twitched slightly: "Wasn't everything fine before I came back?"
"I could have been patient at first, but now that I'm mad at you, how can I not get worse?"
