The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 68 - 67 Miss Jun Li Actually Took the Boss

Si Yuting was now certain that Qu Tong’s close-combat fighting skills came from the military.

Moreover, she must be a specialist for specific tasks; otherwise, how could every move she made target his vital points?

The two of them were entangled in battle, leaving Jiang Zhou and Xiong Lie dumbfounded.

Xiong Lie was full of question marks, “Why are the two of them fighting now?”

Weren’t they just fighting the Insect Clan together?

The insects hadn’t even been completely wiped out yet!

The insects likely thought the same, as the remaining four let out a “zzt zzt” strange noise, seeming to communicate with each other.

Then, they split in two groups, with two heading towards Xiong Lie and Jiang Zhou, and two ready to ambush Si Yuting’s side.

Si Yuting and Qu Tong were fighting without using their spiritual powers, purely fighting hand-to-hand.

As the four Insect Clan creatures moved, the two heading towards Qu Tong were instantly tied up like zongzi by several vines and fell to the ground.

The ones approaching Jiang Zhou’s side fared even worse, cleaved until they were charred black, dead beyond dead.

Xiong Lie had just taken out his heavy cannon when his mouth fell open in astonishment, “Boss is invincible!”

Xiong Lie then put the cannon back into the Space Button and, pulling Jiang Zhou along, said:

“Let’s move farther away to avoid getting caught up in it. Look at those four insects on the ground; if it were Miss Jun Li accidentally hitting them, it’d be fine, they’d just be lying there. But if it affects the Boss, they’d likely end up lying stark dead on a slab.”

Qu Tong gave the vine in her hand a snap, producing a “swish” as it cut through the air, hitting Si Yuting’s Spirit Power Barrier and rebounding with an even crisper sound.

Both of them were now using their Special Abilities, and the surrounding forest was left in utter disarray.

“Damn, looks can be deceiving! Miss Jun Li is actually this brutal. The last time I saw someone last this long against the Boss was… well, it was the last time. This is the first time I’ve seen two such powerful Ability Awakeners fight each other; the effects, tsk tsk! It’s really thrilling to watch!”

Xiong Lie sincerely sighed, watching with great enjoyment.

Compared to Xiong Lie’s excitement, Jiang Zhou was somewhat disheartened, “Is this what they call having a little bit of spiritual power?”

His own total spiritual power wasn’t even as substantial as that ‘little bit,’ and to top it off, she had awakened a Special Ability.

Xiong Lie put his arm around Jiang Zhou’s shoulder, his tone encouraging, “You’re a doctor, you don’t have to kill the Insect Clan. It’s okay to have a weak point. We brothers don’t despise you for it.”

“Who’s brothers with you, show some respect,” Jiang Zhou snapped, shaking off Xiong Lie’s hand from his shoulder.

Among the Silver Wolf Squad and Si Yuting, six in total, Xiong Lie was the youngest.

And he was the eldest.

He had been with the First Army Corps before Si Yuting became a general.

That’s why he didn’t address Si Yuting as Boss along with the others.

Back to Qu Tong’s side.

The two were still fighting fiercely.

Si Yuting had powerful spiritual power, and his Special Ability was domineering, making it difficult for Qu Tong to get close.

Qu Tong’s vines were agile and versatile, leaving Si Yuting with no way to counter them.

However, Qu Tong knew that Si Yuting had not used his full strength, and was intentionally avoiding injuring her.

Otherwise, with her current level of spiritual power, her Qingmu should have been shattered by Si Yuting’s Power of Thunder long ago.

But it was precisely this point that Qu Tong seized upon, the vines retracted, and Si Yuting’s thunder whip came straight toward Qu Tong’s face.

Si Yuting was shocked and immediately dissipated the thunder whip, but the remaining spiritual power still scratched Qu Tong’s hand.

Qu Tong took advantage of this opportunity to wrap her vines around Si Yuting’s waist, and with a powerful yank, she suddenly pounced on Si Yuting.

Caught off guard, Si Yuting was pushed to the ground, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he stretched out his hand to push her away.

“Don’t move! You’ve lost,” Qu Tong’s hand tightened, her slightly elongated nails digging into the flesh of Si Yuting’s neck, bright red blood tracing down his collarbone to the inside of his white shirt, staining his clothes as well.

The sudden, unfamiliar sensation made Si Yuting’s body shudder, and he almost lost control, wanting to crush the person on top of him.

“Get up, I’ve lost,” Si Yuting suppressed the ferocity in his eyes, his voice as cold as ice.

Qu Tong did not take undue advantage, briskly letting go and standing up from Si Yuting.

“Heavens! Miss Jun Li actually pinned down the boss… mmm, mmm!” Xiong Lie’s excitement was cut short as Jiang Zhou firmly clamped his mouth shut.

“Shut it. Watch it, or the general might chop you down,” he warned.

Recognizing the situation, Xiong Lie nodded knowingly.

Just as his mood had settled, Si Yuting called him out.

“Xiong Lie, deal with the Insect Clan and prepare to return,” Si Yuting commanded, his voice even colder than before.

With a cold snort, Qu Tong pulled out a scarf and wrapped it around her hand.

Jiang Zhou hesitated before speaking to Qu Tong, “Miss Jun Li, do you need some hemostatic medicine?”

The wound was not large, but it bled profusely, looking like it would continue to bleed, so he asked.

Jun Li paused before replying, “Yes, thank you, Doctor Zhou.”

Jiang Zhou: “…”

Suddenly, he didn’t feel like giving it to her anymore.

But once spoken, words are like spilled water.

Reluctantly, he still took out a box of pale green medicinal powder from his space and tossed it to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong caught it, removing the scarf to apply the medicine to herself.

Seeing the wound slowly stop bleeding, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Then, looking at Jiang Zhou, she directly asked, “Doctor Zhou, do you have more of this medicine?”

Without answering, Jiang Zhou suggested tactfully, “This is just common hemostatic powder. It’s available in the military hospital, but it’s a bit pricey. Miss Jun Li can buy it herself if she needs more.”

He nearly changed her last name in his mind, thinking she’s trying to spend a fortune on him. Dream on.

“Thank you,” Qu Tong sincerely expressed her gratitude.

After re-bandaging the wound, Qu Tong didn’t forget the task at hand and went searching through the chaos for the Seven-leaf Heart.

Fortunately, both of them had deliberately avoided it during their fight, so the Seven-leaf Heart was intact and unharmed.

With her special ability almost depleted and wanting to save some energy, Qu Tong took out a small shovel from her space to start digging.

This was also tucked away when she bought tools for Li Kun and the others.

Jiang Zhou walked over, not knowing what kind of device he took out, a red laser swept over and made a “beep” sound.

“Miss Jun Li, the purification value of this Kagura Flower is only 50%. If you harvest it, will it still be useful?” he asked.

In the Interstellar, various green plants have a purification value higher than 80% to be used for medicine or other purposes, and higher than 90% to be consumed directly.

Low purification value plants can affect health if consumed and might even trigger a spiritual power outburst.

“This… my master knows how to compound Purification Liquid. I will have him give it a try,” Qu Tong deflected ambiguously, deciding to shift the responsibility to her master whenever things got complicated.
