Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Because I Love You
Gu Jue’s deep eyes looked over.
Inside, it seemed as if some light was leaping about.
Su Wan realized what she had said and became even more embarrassed.
After all, saying her body was in great shape, full of strength...
Wasn’t that suggesting something?
In her excitement, her fin-like ears appeared.
The massive golden tail flickered gently in the water.
Gu Jue originally didn’t have any romantic thoughts in his heart, as for those days when Wanwan was unconscious, he hardly ate, drank, or slept.
Eventually, he couldn’t bear it and just laid down beside Wanwan’s bed.
Even so, the moment she made the slightest movement upon waking, Gu Jue instantly awoke.
Looking at his little wife’s rosy cheeks and bright eyes, now transformed into a mermaid.
The mist in his eyes seemed like a silent invitation.
Although Gu Jue had told Wanwan before that he could control his Manic-Depressive Period,
the truth was, faced with such a soft and beautiful little wife, Gu Jue’s Manic-Depressive Period might be getting out of control!
He lowered his eyes halfway.
He remained silent.
Su Wan felt a bit nervous.
She clearly wanted to refuse, but it seemed as though she was hesitating.
However, thinking of the tears Gu Jue shed while she was unconscious, Su Wan’s heart ached immensely.
He must have been worried sick.
The two of them were already the closest of companions.
So, if there was something she could do to soothe her, Su Wan would definitely be willing to do it.
Not to mention, Su Wan felt that after draining all her superpowers and spiritual power, falling into that period of unconsciousness, upon awakening, her physical state was actually even better than before!
Even Ouyang Qing, who had checked her body, said that her spiritual power had strengthened.
After all, she was already a Super S-class.
So it was unclear whether she had undergone another enhancement or not.
In any case, Su Wan was now a very strong Beastman.
"Don’t let your mind wander, just rest well."
Gu Jue, however, directly took a snow-white bath towel, wrapped up his delicate wife, and then carried her to the bedside.
He carefully dried her hair.
His movements were very gentle.
As if Su Wan were a fragile doll.
Su Wan knew that this man acted this way because he loved her too much.
She reached out, hugged Gu Jue, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Ajue, if I ever faint again, you don’t have to worry. Because I have you, no matter how difficult it is, I will try hard to wake up."
"Because I love you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jue hugged his delicate wife tightly.
This was the first time Su Wan had said "I love you" to Gu Jue.
There was no need to soothe the Manic-Depressive Period, no need for exclusive medicine, nothing.
Just holding each other quietly.
I will never leave you.
Because, I love you.
By the end, both of their Manic-Depressive Periods came at the same time.
It was a magical experience.
It might also be because Su Wan had completely evolved into a full-fledged Beastman.
Su Wan met with the people from Mermaid Planet two days later, which was the day before the Food God live-streaming was decided.
Throughout, Gu Jue quietly accompanied her on the side.
He didn’t feel at ease.
But he absolutely did not interfere with Wanwan’s conversation with the people of Mermaid Planet.
Everything was for Wanwan to decide on her own.
Initially, Lan Ruochen and the others were a bit wary of Gu Jue.
But once they were sure he wouldn’t speak, they cautiously recounted to Su Wan the warnings Queen Gaia left behind.
Su Wan listened to them very calmly and did not directly reject their request.
She said, "Recently, I participated in the inter-schools competition. During the exam, the students of Siren University performed very poorly."
Lan Rui also came along with Lan Ruochen this time.
Upon hearing this, her pretty face instantly changed, and she couldn’t help but retort, "We weren’t the last ones. It was clearly Prys University that came in last!"
Su Wan: "Prys University ended up last, not because they’re weaker than you, but because they were simply unlucky. Also, Gill has been used by you several times; you should be better aware of that than anyone else, right?"
Lan Rui bit her lip in frustration.
Still, she ultimately did not speak up again.
On this matter, Lan Ruochen said, "Indeed, our combat strength is poor, and our overall power is definitely the weakest."
That point was indisputable.
Su Wan said, "If you all know that your strength is weak, why not enhance it? You waste so much time on romancing, completely squandering the formidable physique of Beastmen!"
Lan Ruochen was stunned.
The other people from Mermaid Planet were stunned as well.
Only Lan Rui wanted to speak up in explanation, but Su Wan’s sharp gaze turned toward her.
She said, "I remember there was a data statistic before, comparing the ratio of Beastmen to purebloods on each planet, and your Mermaid Planet had the highest proportion of Beastmen."
"Beastmen are naturally superior in physical fitness compared to purebloods, and later data also shows that Beastmen are more adaptable to changes in the Universe environment, with stronger immunity."
At this point, Lan Rui spoke softly, "Aren’t you a Beastman yourself?"
Su Wan nodded, "Yes, I am, so I am more capable than anyone else of appreciating the disparity between purebloods and Beastmen."
"At the age of thirteen, when I was still a pureblood, I was hit by a Photon Cannon and nearly died. I was in a coma for several years before finally waking up. After waking up, I was incredibly weak, able to access the star web but incapable of doing anything else."
"But what about Beastmen? That level of Photon Cannon attack, even a regular Beastman, could probably recover in a week. Some powerful Beastmen can even regrow severed limbs in a short period of time."
Su Wan looked up, observing the various expressions of the Mermaid Beastmen, "So, the overall weakness of Mermaid Planet is first and foremost because you’ve wasted your talents!"
The Mermaid Clan has strong fertility, and the ratio of Beastmen among their offspring is particularly high.
Not to mention other facts, Su Wan’s mother, Lin Ranyue, merely has Mermaid genes in her DNA.
Yet, out of the four children she has now, three are Beastmen!
The reality was in front of them, Lan Ruochen and the others couldn’t argue against it anymore.
It was their own fault for not focusing on strengthening the power of their planet; they couldn’t blame anyone else.
At this moment, Elder Ada lifted his head and earnestly said, "We know we were wrong, so could you please agree to become our queen and lead us to become more powerful?"
No sooner had his voice fallen, many pairs of eyes were eagerly fixated on Su Wan.
Su Wan looked at them, knowing that they were earnestly asking her to return and become the queen.
But...
Su Wan spoke quietly, "What I want to say now is that you’ve made a second mistake. You don’t work hard and always think about relying on others! Back during the inter-schools competition, the people of Siren University did not strive to improve themselves. Instead, they wanted to ally with this school or that school. But you don’t understand, any alliance is never permanently reliable; only when you become powerful yourself will you truly be strong."
"To rely on others is not as good as relying on oneself!"
