Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Baby asks, "Daddy, can you tell a story?
Gu Jue: "No, Mu Qingfeng must have been used by Lucifer. Besides him and Housekeeper Mu, no one else was involved."
Su Wan frowned, "How can Lucifer be here, there, and everywhere? Why would he target my mother and Uncle Lei?"
Gu Jue: "According to the data, Lucifer was seen at several places at the same time."
Su Wan was stunned.
Could there be several Lucifers?
But that’s simply impossible!
Just at that moment, Su Wan saw Little Gu Chen, who was grilling squid strips with an electric grill, making them even more charred.
A thought suddenly struck her!
"Ajue, how high is Lucifer’s Beast Transformation Level? Does he have any, special superpowers?"
Speaking of special superpowers, Su Wan had always been unaware if she possessed any special abilities herself.
But so far, she hadn’t had the chance to ask the people of Mermaid Planet about this.
After hearing this, Gu Jue shook his head.
"Lucifer’s previous Beast Transformation Level was Super S-class. But not every Super S-class Beastman has superpowers, and I’ve never heard of him having any."
Su Wan: "Could there be a possibility that Lucifer has evolved a superpower, which would explain him appearing in multiple places at the same time?"
Gu Jue: "If he could turn into several people... No, if that were the case, the destructive things he would be doing could be much greater."
However, in these few appearances, apart from that one time in the cinema when he used octopus tentacles to wrap around Su Wan’s ankles,
In other places where he appeared, he was seen inciting others to act.
But he never took action personally.
Su Wan raised her head, "Then that might be his limitation!"
Every superpower has its limitations.
If Lucifer could create many copies of himself, with each one being very powerful,
That would be too terrifying!!!
Because of official duties, Gu Jue couldn’t stay on Training Base Star for too long.
Similarly, he couldn’t leave Little Gu Chen there either.
So, in the following three days of rest and training, Su Wan would train during the day and spend the evenings with her husband and child.
Gu Jue’s private resting room was very spacious, and the small room next door was reserved for his son.
Su Wan first went to accompany her son.
The wolf-eared baby snuggled into Su Wan’s arms and said softly, "Mommy, I want to hear a story."
Despite being a Super S-class Beastman,
And having single-handedly taken down three bad guys not long ago, the wolf-eared baby was still a child.
He was deeply dependent on his mother.
Su Wan affectionately rubbed her son’s wolf ears, "What kind of story does Xiaochen want to hear?"
Wolf-eared baby: "I want to hear the story about the wolf grandma and Little Red Riding Hood!"
Su Wan: "..."
Previously, to coax her child, Su Wan had offered to tell a story and then listed many story titles.
But who could have thought, Xiaochen, uninterested in the others, picked this one in particular!
Su Wan said with mixed feelings, "Why does Xiaochen want to hear this story?"
Wolf-eared baby: "Because there’s a wolf in the story!"
Su Wan thought to herself that she hadn’t yet told you about Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf, or about Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
Since the child wanted to listen, she would definitely tell the story.
But she slightly changed the story.
"Once upon a time, there was a big forest, where an old woman lived, and her granddaughter, who always visited her, brought her delicious food. However, one time the old woman fell ill and passed away, then a kind wolf disguised himself as the grandmother and continued to look after her granddaughter..."
Just when Su Wan thought her son had fallen asleep, the little guy suddenly raised his head, his large eyes shining brightly.
"Mommy, does Little Red Riding Hood taste good?"
"..."
Gu Jue had just finished bathing, his fluffy tail gently sweeping across the carpet.
He leaned against the doorway, watching the mother and child, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Su Wan raised her head, somewhat helplessly said, "Ajue, come and coax Xiaochen to sleep, I’m going to take a bath."
She hadn’t had a good soak in the bathtub after training today.
Su Wan felt her mermaid tail itching!
Gu Jue nodded, "Mhm, go take your bath, I’ll tell Xiaochen a story."
Su Wan thought that with the amount of time father and son had spent alone together, they must be getting along harmoniously.
So, she headed to the washroom next door with peace of mind.
Meanwhile, the little wolf-eared baby was staring wide-eyed at his biological father.
Gu Jue: "Do you still want me to tell you a story?"
Little Gu Chen cautiously asked, "Daddy, can you tell stories?"
Gu Jue was silent for a moment before saying, "There was once a little wolf who didn’t listen, and then dad bit off one of its ears."
Little Gu Chen immediately covered his wolf ears with his hands!
Then he lay on his little bed, pulled the covers over himself, a look of peace on his face.
"Daddy, I’m sleepy."
Gu Jue was satisfied, "Hmm, I’ll turn off the light for you."
Meanwhile, Su Wan was soaking in the bathtub, her golden mermaid tail gently swaying, stirring the water.
After a while, the glass door of the bathroom slid open, Su Wan was startled, and instinctively dived into the bathtub.
She looked up, watching Gu Jue step inside.
"Ajue? Is Xiaochen asleep already?"
"Hmm."
Looking at his petite wife’s gently swaying golden mermaid tail, Gu Jue’s gaze became even deeper.
He extended his large hand, gently pressing down on her mermaid scales.
Su Wan felt every scale on her mermaid tail trembling!
She whispered softly, "Ajue?"
Gu Jue: "You always help dry my hair, so this time I’ll give you a massage on your mermaid tail. Mhm, it’s only fair."
Su Wan: "..."
Although it was tit for tat, she always felt that something was off.
As he continued to press, Su Wan’s Manic-Depressive Period arrived!
And then, snow-white wings enveloped that golden mermaid tail within...
These three days of training and resting were, for Su Wan, a time to reunite with her husband and son.
Once Gu Jue and Little Gu Chen left, she would face the second test.
When the starship took off, Little Gu Chen’s eyes reddened, gazing at mommy with forlorn longing.
Gu Jue, worried Su Wan would be upset again, hurriedly took his son aboard the starship.
Although, the reluctance in his heart was actually even greater than his son’s.
**
Ever since the incident, Pandora had grown even more trusting of Su Wan!
This young lady, for all her life, had never genuinely admired many people.
She saw Su Wan, watching Commander Gu’s starship take off.
Pandora, somewhat perplexed, said, "Su Wan, if you can’t bear to part with the child, why participate in this competition?"
Su Wan countered, "Why did you participate in the competition?"
Pandora: "I want to become stronger! In the future, I aim to be an outstanding Interstellar Warrior!"
Su Wan: "I also want to become better."
She looked into the distance, at the Interstellar Warriors in training.
"When I first married Ajue, many people on the Star Network thought I was no good, that I wasn’t worthy of Ajue."
Pandora, feeling a bit ashamed, admitted, "Sorry, I used to think the same way. Mainly because, so many of us idolized Commander Gu. But now I know, Su Wan, you are outstanding!"
