Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Back to Ancient Earth Again?
During this tense moment, the Mermaid Planet arrived at the Federal Empire.
It triggered a lot of speculation among the leaders of other planets.
Some believed that the Mermaid Planet wanted to take the opportunity to foster good relations with the Federal Empire.
To solidify the Universe Unity Alliance.
In actuality, for many years, the Mermaid Planet always had a good relationship with the Federal Empire.
Lan Ruochen personally led the team over, and Gu Zilan personally went to the port to welcome them.
Both sides took the meeting very seriously.
Outsiders, however, didn’t know.
Their formality and seriousness were all for one person.
Su Wan.
Gu Zilan made sure to have Lan Ruochen’s envoy undergo a detailed check.
He said, "Sorry, I need to ensure the safety of my little aunt."
Lan Ruochen gave a wry smile, "I understand, your concerns are not unfounded. In fact, some people in our Imperial Family indeed disagree with giving up the throne."
That is only human nature.
Lan Ruochen’s straightforwardness actually eased Gu Zilan’s mind.
After all, the living example of Gu Tao was right there.
It was the throne, after all, who among those who coveted power would be willing to let go?
At the very least, it was important to ascertain Lan Ruochen’s thoughts.
Besides...
Gu Zilan said, "Actually, we just hope that your Mermaid medical team can cure my little aunt. As for the throne... that really is a secondary concern. I’m not bragging, but being the Princess of the Empire Federation, the spouse of the War God, carries far greater power than the Empress of the Mermaid Planet."
The disparity in strength between the two planets was evident.
Gu Zilan was indeed not bragging.
The Mermaid royal family might be reluctant to give up the throne, but Su Wan might not be interested in that position of power.
Lan Ruochen said, "I understand that, and so I’ve also tried to persuade those people. In fact, once the Commander’s spouse wakes up, she might not value the throne on the Mermaid Planet."
"She may not want it, but according to our ancestral instructions, we must offer it to her."
Objectively speaking, Lan Ruochen also didn’t want to let go of the power he held.
But he understood more clearly that the current state of the Mermaid Planet was all thanks to the merits of their founding Empress.
Her words were faithfully followed by the members of the Lan Family.
And for hundreds of years, her words had been proven correct.
Of course, if Su Wan wakes up later and doesn’t wish to take the throne,
then the Lan Family can continue to sit on that throne with a clear conscience.
It must be said, Lan Ruochen is a man of understanding.
He said, "Please, conduct the check. It makes things safer that way. Even though I have already conducted a thorough check on those who came. Another check makes us even safer. I also don’t wish for anyone to harm Su Wan."
Lan Rui also came to the Federal Empire.
But she was not permitted to go with the others to the Commander’s residence to see Su Wan.
She was actually quite familiar with the main planet of the Federal Empire.
She even knew which restaurant served the best dishes.
Bored, Lan Rui wandered around the main planet with her companions, and then stopped in front of the entrance to the Su Family restaurant.
This was a restaurant opened by Su Wan’s family.
Lan Rui’s companion whispered, "Actually, I really hope that Su Wan wakes up, and even if she doesn’t become the queen of the Mermaid Planet, she would still maintain a friendly relationship with us."
Lan Rui raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
Her companion sniffed and said emotionally, "That way, at the very least, she might open a branch of the Su Family restaurant on the Mermaid Planet."
Lan Rui: "..."
You’re already so fat, yet you’re still obsessed with eating.
Aren’t you worried about becoming a fat-headed fish!
**
The final word to stop the Destruction Device,
was, KING!
After the last word was entered, the countdown device stopped at three seconds left.
It was a close call.
Luckily, it was caught in time.
It must be said, Gu Tao had really lost his mind.
He was so obsessed with the throne that he had gone mad!
Thankfully, the Destruction Device was successfully stopped, sparing everyone from being blown up.
But the Su Wan who managed all this blacked out in an instant and fainted!
In her ears, the last thing she heard was the Vermilion Bird anxiously calling for its master.
Su Wan felt very tired...
She felt like she had been swimming in the ocean for ages, yet still couldn’t find the shore, a sense of powerlessness pervading her.
Ever since she evolved a fishtail, Su Wan actually liked swimming a lot.
But no matter how much she liked it, she wasn’t born a natural fish.
After swimming for so long, she felt like her tail fin was about to cramp!
Then, Su Wan collided headfirst into something!
She shook her head, wanting to reach out and touch it.
But something felt a bit off.
The thing she bumped into had a hard texture, cool to the touch.
It seemed like... glass?
Su Wan lay flat on top of the glass, staring dumbfounded at the scene before her.
An environment that was familiar, yet seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
A liquid crystal display television hung on the wall.
The football match being played on it ended as expected, in a loss.
A girl was sitting on the couch, asleep with a phone in her arms.
By her side, a black, white, and gray Alaskan dog snuggled against her.
The big dog obediently rested its head on the girl’s legs.
Both master and pet exuded a serene aura.
Su Wan froze, looking left and right.
Only after confirming where she was did she almost swear!
She! She! She had transmigrated to Ancient Earth again!
And this time, it was much worse than before.
Last time she had entered the body of a young girl named Su Wan and shared it with her.
But this time...
She had turned into a goldfish in a fish tank!!!
Even Ajue was better than this...
Ouyang Qing had checked Su Wan’s health before and told her not to use her superpowers for a while.
And certainly not to overuse her spiritual power.
At that time, Su Wan thought that if she drained herself again, she might return to Ancient Earth once more.
Turns out, she got the beginning right.
But she guessed the ending all wrong QAQ...
The one consolation was that Su Wan had transmigrated into the home of the young girl Su Wan from Ancient Earth, who shared her name and surname.
The young Su Wan had become much more outgoing than before, and she had returned to school.
She made a lot of friends.
Among them, there was an extremely shy boy pursuing her.
Although the young Su Wan had many friends and her life had become much brighter than before,
the family restaurant business was also improving.
However, she always felt something was missing.
While hugging her beloved dog in solitude, the girl often murmured to herself, "I wonder how she’s doing, whether she’s returned to her family or not."
"I actually miss her a bit."
"She was the first, and the most important friend of my life."
The big dog couldn’t understand its owner’s words, but it could feel her yearning.
The furry dog head nuzzled into her embrace.
Su Wan, resting on the fish tank, watched the scene, moved and reassured.
And then at this moment, someone came in from outside, curiously examining the goldfish stuck to the fish tank glass.
The man asked in confusion, "Xiaowan, is what you’re raising a goldfish, or a pleco?"
The girl couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Of course, it’s a goldfish, look how pretty! Plecos are dark and dingy, nowhere near as beautiful."
Su Wan hastily moved away from the glass.
Somewhat speechlessly, she blew a stream of bubbles toward the man who had spoken!
You’re the pleco!
Your whole family are plecos!
