Interstellar Beast World: The Ferocious Beast Husband Has a Wild Mind

Chapter 168 Just Like You Try So Hard

That day, Sang Qing was watching the Snake Team and the Lion Tiger Team compete when General Curry called her over.

Once Sang Qing left, the two teams, who had been playing intensely, immediately lost interest.

The shirtless orc walked off the field, picked up his shirt and put it on, saying, "That's it, that's it, we're done fighting."

The others also scattered like birds and beasts, looking utterly uninterested.

The most important audience members have all left, so what's the point of competing?

General Curry didn't call her to his office, but to the entrance of the shelter.

"Admiral Curry, what's the matter?"

Sang Qing glanced at Admiral Curry's hovercar and asked.

"Cus said that Shi Ying seems to have been seriously injured in this mission. I happen to be going to the Third District. Do you want to come with me?" Curry asked succinctly, gripping the steering wheel.

"You're injured?" Sang Qing didn't hesitate and opened the car door to sit in the back seat.

As Curry started the hovercar, he answered Sang Qing, "Yeah, Shi Ying took on a mission that's even more dangerous than an S-class mission this time. She went to the front lines and went deep into the fourth line of defense. Didn't Shi Ying tell you?"

Sang Qing remained silent, unsure how to respond.

She turned on her personal terminal but received no information. There was also no news from Youfei, who usually reported the situation of Shiying to her.

I couldn't help but worry, what if Shi Ying's entire team had been in trouble?

"Is he in mortal danger? What about the others in the team? Were they injured too?"

"His life isn't in danger, and the other teammates are all fine. Apparently, Shi Ying went in alone..."

Curry recounted everything that Kus had told him.

Upon hearing this, Sang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Injuries during missions are common in the military. Curry remained much calmer and reassured him, "The military hospital is not far from the Third Military Region. Shi Ying received treatment as soon as she returned and is fine now. You don't need to worry too much."

"Hmm." Sang Qing nodded; she still had great faith in interstellar medical technology.

As long as there is no danger to life, nothing else is a big problem.

"Kus also said that once his Shadow Merit is maxed out, plus this mission, he can be promoted to colonel." Curry's tone was full of admiration.

Shi Ying's military rank rose really fast; it had only been less than a year since his last promotion.

The military's promotion system is actually quite fair; as long as you're willing to work hard, you can get promoted quickly.

However, this is contingent on being alive to enjoy it.

Otherwise, even if you get promoted quickly, your riot value will also rise quickly, and you'll still have to go to the containment facility.

It was only because Sang Qing had cleared his riot value that Shi Ying dared to act so arrogantly.

Anyone else would have died of a mental breakdown after being assigned so many dangerous missions in such a short period of time.

During a break on the way, General Curry chatted with Sang Qing about the military's reward and punishment system.

"Hasn't the commendation we talked about last time been announced yet?" Curry suddenly asked.

Sang Qing paused, realizing she had completely forgotten about it.

Curry knew the answer when he saw that Sang Qing didn't reply. He muttered to himself, "That shouldn't be the case. The higher-ups issued a notice. Logically, the commendation should be issued within a month at most."

Sang Qing sat in the back row with a blank expression, not responding. If even Admiral Curry didn't know, she certainly didn't know either.

"I'll ask around when we get back to see if there's a problem in any part of the process. I heard that your three major contributions this time, combined, will be very generously rewarded."

General Curry told her not to worry and that he would let her know as soon as he had any news.

Sang Qing wasn't in a hurry; she wasn't short of money.

……

Actually, Shi Ying had already returned yesterday, but she hadn't told her.

Sang Qing didn't say anything; after all, it was Shi Ying's own business, and it was his freedom to tell her or not. But considering the favor he had done for her last time, she still felt it necessary to show concern.

When Sang Qing arrived at the hospital, Shi Ying was already ready to be discharged.

That evening, Sang Qing helped Shi Ying change her dressing. Only after removing the gauze did she realize how dangerous the wound was.

Shi Ying's wound was on his back. The wound had scabbed over, but you could still tell how deep it was and how much blood had been lost.

If it's even a little off-center, it could damage the spine.

Even so, such a wound would require an ordinary person to rest for a year or two to recover.

Fortunately, orcs have strong recovery abilities, and the higher their level, the stronger their physical fitness. In addition, Shi Ying never neglects her training, which is why she was able to be discharged from the hospital so quickly.

When Sang Qing applied the medicine, he could clearly feel Shi Ying trembling in pain, but she didn't utter a sound.

Sang Qing sighed and tried to slow down her movements as much as possible.

"Why take such a risk? If you had gone any further off course, you would have been disabled for life."

She heard that the mission wasn't originally mandatory and could have been abandoned halfway through, which would have only temporarily prevented her from being promoted to colonel.

The future is important, but nothing is more important than life.

Sang Qing moved to stand in front of Shi Ying and wrapped the gauze around his back in circles. From Shi Ying's perspective, it looked as if Sang Qing was reaching out to hug him.

Looking at her fair profile, her voice sounded exceptionally pleasant to him, comforting his longing after not seeing her for so many days.

He greedily inhaled the delicate fragrance in the air and said, "Because there's something you want, just like how hard you work."

Sang Qing paused in bandaging, then looked up and met Shi Ying's serious gaze.

"Why are you working so hard? It's not just to save those orcs, is it?" Shi Ying looked at Sang Qing, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

For what?
Wanting to save them was only part of it; the main reason was for himself.

Sang Qing recalled her helpless past and stared blankly at Shi Ying.

With such an unruly personality, Shi Ying must feel quite helpless living in this era.

A male needs to put in far more effort than a female to climb to the same position.

This principle was just as relevant in her time.

The gauze was wrapped around Shi Ying's shoulder and tied into a single bow in front of her chest. Sang Qing did not answer Shi Ying's question, but looked up and smiled smugly, "Then let's work hard together, but no matter what, health is the most important thing."

Shi Ying was so captivated by the starlight in Sang Qing's eyes that she momentarily forgot to answer.

It was just a simple word of encouragement and concern, but Sang Qing spoke so sincerely that it stirred his heart in an instant.

Could this be considered a blessing she gave herself?
Sang Qing placed the remaining gauze aside, stood up, and asked, "Did the doctor say how long I need to rest?"

"About a month."

Sang Qing nodded, "Okay, then you should get some rest."

When Shi Ying saw Sang Qing about to leave, she instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"what happened?"

Sang Qing turned around, her face showing confusion.

Because Shi Ying was injured, she did not break free.

Shi Ying moved her lips, as if wanting to say something but then stopped herself, "It's nothing..."

He had actually wanted to ask Sang Qing if he could stay and sleep there, but then he remembered that he was injured, so he decided against it.

Although reluctant, she still let go of Sang Qing's hand.

Let's wait until he gets better...

Sang Qing was completely confused. After looking at Shi Ying for a while and confirming that nothing was wrong, she turned and left.
