Chapter 51 -50: A Little Moved
For several days, Qu Tong had been using her special ability to nurture various seeds and seedlings.
With the cover of the isolation dome, Qu Tong planted many seedlings of the plants she needed in the fenced-off forest, including not only flowers and fruits but also some medicinal herbs she required.
Her special ability was limited, and Qu Tong couldn’t change too much at once, so she only planted seedlings or seeds infused with a bit of her special ability.
Letting them grow freely, the scenery would be different next year.
For now, Qu Tong didn’t plan to allow anyone to enter this area.

Due to excessive use of her special ability, Qu Tong’s sleep time had correspondingly increased over the past few days.
Used to getting up late, she lifted her wrist to check the time, 9:30.
For three months, Qu Tong had grown accustomed to not waking up to look for her phone every morning.
Flipping to a deduction notification, Qu Tong remembered that April 15th in the year 8046 of the Star Calendar was the day the Empire collected various resource taxes from the stars—it was the day she waved goodbye to her one billion.
Today was the 16th.
Upon checking, it wasn’t the taxes, but an automatic recharge for the network information fee, not much, just over 200 Star Coins, and the payment date was the day before yesterday.
Shoot!
This account only had one billion in it—not a single coin more, not a single coin less!
If the payment failed due to insufficient funds, she would lose 500,000 a day, and her heart would hurt.
Hurriedly, she logged into her planet management page.
But she found that her taxes had already been paid in full.
Huh???
Qu Tong opened the details and saw that, in addition to her remaining assets, there was another line: shared account with spouse Si Yuting 200 Star Coins.
Holy crap!
When did they open a shared account?
This man! Could he be this good?
Although she couldn’t see the other party’s financial information or know how high the limit he set was, considering that the whole Empire belonged to the Si Family and his military rank was so high, it was safe to assume the limit was not low.
At this moment, a groundhog was screaming in Qu Tong’s heart.
If she had known about this feature earlier, why would she have bothered with all this fuss? She could have just used his shared account.
Now what? If he asked about it, how would she explain?
Should she say she won it in a lottery?
Ha, she herself wouldn’t believe that.
Yet Qu Tong nervously got through the entire day without receiving any message from Si Yuting.
They say a good ex should be like they are dead.
So why did it seem like her new husband was acting the same way?
Thinking about what was to come in a few days, Qu Tong still took the initiative to contact Si Yuting.

Their communications had always been messages and notes, and Qu Tong had never taken the initiative to make a call.
First, because they weren’t that familiar with each other and she feared video calling would be awkward, and second, because Si Yuting was very busy, and video calling might disturb him—he could reply to messages when he had time.

Meanwhile, on Abel Star.
In the gravity training room, the line of the back muscles could be seen through the workout suit, fluctuating with the body’s movements. The value on the intelligent training equipment sparkled and let out a “ding,” indicating that today’s training plan had been met.
Si Yuting stood up, grabbed the jacket beside him, draped it over his arm, and prepared to walk out with his long strides.
He casually tapped a few times on his light brain, and the projection from the light brain unfolded in front of him.
He just so happened to see the message from Qu Tong: “Hubby, did you set up a shared account for me? [Surprised]jpg”
“Hmm.”
Si Yuting replied briefly and then opened the shared assets page to check.
Due to the nature of his profession, he didn’t have spending notifications set up. When he went in, he saw only one record: “Your wife has used your shared account to pay the annual tax of 200 Star Coins for Star 1757 on April 15th, year 8046 of the Star Calendar at 14:00.”
Si Yuting’s first reaction was, “What planet only needs 200 Star Coins in taxes?”
His confusion lasted only a moment before he guessed the reason.
Didn’t his mother say that his wife’s circumstances weren’t good?
Wasn’t his mother mistaken about the meaning of “circumstances weren’t good”?
Even so, he had no intention of inquiring about his wife’s private wealth; he simply readjusted his previous impression of Qu Tong in his mind.
What 18-year-old girl can afford to pay a planet’s taxes?
Although he hadn’t paid much attention to the Qu Family, he had learned the gist from his mother.
Qu Tong looked at the results of her probing, staring at the screen for a good while.
Just an “hmm”?
Once she was sure the other party wouldn’t send another word, she replied again: [Can I ask, what is the credit limit you’ve set for me?]
Since he didn’t ask, she wouldn’t take the initiative to say more; mutual understanding was enough.
Si Yuting only thought that Qu Tong was afraid the credit limit wouldn’t be enough and felt embarrassed to use too much. He hesitated for a moment then replied: [As long as it is used reasonably, during the period of our marriage, you have the right to use all of my assets.]
Qu Tong: !!!
Her heart skipped a beat.
What to do? She felt a little thrilled.
Does such a husband really exist?
So, had her dream of becoming a rich woman come true ahead of time?
Allowing herself to fantasize for a bit, she took a while before typing again:
[First Military Academy is about to start school, I heard that there are regular competitions in the school, and your First Army Corps comes over to protect every year, so can I see you then, my husband?]
Si Yuting was silent.
An inter-military competition didn’t require a general like himself for personal supervision and protection; Wu Yue and Xiong Lie were usually sent to handle it in past years.
Moreover, it was still a long way until the mid-term exams.
[Then, can you send someone to pick me up? I don’t want to stay with the Qu family.]
This was the reason Qu Tong reached out to Si Yuting today.
In fact, she could have rented a place outside, but her situation was different now. As a wife, it was only right for her to consider moving into her husband’s home first.
If Si Yuting found it inconvenient, she would consider renting or buying a place herself.
She waited a while before she finally heard a single “Okay” from the other side.
Qu Tong could imagine, even through the screen, how expressionless he must have been when he said that word.
She couldn’t help but wonder, wouldn’t he also be expressionless in bed?
Cough cough!
That was off-topic – stop there!
Her brain had a mind of its own.
It had nothing to do with her as a person.

In the blink of an eye, the start of school drew near.
Qu Tong had arranged all her affairs on Luyi Star ahead of time and once she got her driver’s license, she planned to return once or twice a month as much as possible.
Xu An had originally planned to pick up Qu Tong, but he got a chance to go to the Star Beast Zone for an internship with the graduating class, which his mentor had secured for him.
This opportunity was too precious for Xu An, and of course, Qu Tong urged him not to miss it.
In order to avoid drawing attention, Qu Tong chose to take public transport. To prepare even better, she arrived a whole week early, planning to visit the imperial couple to express her gratitude for their protection.
As it turned out, civilian spaceships really are prone to incidents!
The spaceship hadn’t traveled far when it was surrounded and intercepted by several smaller flying craft.
Although these craft were much smaller than the public spaceship, they were not short on weaponry, forcing the captain to stop the spaceship at a designated location—a barren Wasteland Star.
Following several loud thuds, the captain didn’t even get the chance to open the hatch before the door was kicked off its hinges.
