Chapter 348: Chapter 348 - Then You Have to Make Me the King Consort
Su Wan’s words left a dozen mermaids feeling incredibly ashamed, with their fins drooping down.
But in the end, Ada still looked forward with hope, saying, "We know we were wrong, and we will change in the future. Would you be willing to..."
Su Wan decisively said, "I’m not willing. My family and friends are all here; I won’t leave them. When Queen Gaia decided to help you, it was because, at that time, the Mermaid Clan were her family."
Though it might seem heartless to say it like that.
But Su Wan had never been the saintly type who believed she could save the entire Universe.
She was just a mermaid who had evolved not long ago.
Having grown stronger, her priority was to protect her family and friends.
If she couldn’t even protect her own family and friends,
how could she save the Universe?
For the Mermaid Clan, what they lacked was not a savior queen,
but the determination to grow strong on their own!
However, at this moment, Gu Jue changed the subject.
He said, "As long as you don’t withdraw from the Universe Alliance, in the future, we can fight against the Insectoids together."
Though this wasn’t the answer Lan Ruochen and the others were hoping for,
what Su Wan said about them not cherishing the Beastmen’s robust bodies and not striving to become stronger was indeed a very important point.
They needed to reflect on themselves!
Finally, the people from Mermaid Planet left.
Su Wan turned to Commander Gu, who had been massaging her shoulders, and asked, "Ajue, do you think I’m quite cruel and heartless?"
Gu Jue shook his head, "That’s called being rational."
Su Wan really adored this man, who could succinctly summarize her virtues!
Turning around, Su Wan leaned on Gu Jue’s body, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.
She said, "Ajue, what if I got carried away and impulsively agreed to become the Mermaid Queen with them? What would you do?"
Gu Jue actually pondered this seriously for a while.
Then, he extended his arms and directly lifted Su Wan onto his lap.
Gu Jue said, "Then you’d have to make me a king consort."
So fearsome, the formidable War God Commander becoming her consort?
Su Wan imagined it for a moment.
It felt incredibly exciting, and quite intoxicating!
She reached out to hug Gu Jue, and planted a big smack on the Commander’s face.
"I declare you my consort. Tonight, the consort must serve ’Her Majesty’ through the Manic-Depressive Period, understand?"
The handsome Commander, full of adoration, smiled and nodded.
"Fine, I can serve you now, but the point is, didn’t your Manic-Depressive Period just end?"
Su Wan: "..."
Heh, as if the Manic-Depressive Period could just come and go as it pleases, how impressive!
At this point, White Tiger said, "Madam, your friends have come to see you."
As soon as Su Wan heard her friends had come to visit, she quickly got up from Gu Jue’s embrace and patted her flushed face.
She said, "Alright, you go busy yourself with work in the study. You must have neglected your duties while taking care of me these past few days."
Gu Jue knew his cherished wife wanted to have a good chat with her friends, and this was different from the people from Mermaid Planet.
So, he felt reassured.
"Okay, I’ll head to the study now."
As Gu Jue walked out, he came face to face with Luo Jina and others.
Luo Jina, Alex, and the others immediately greeted Gu Jue with respect.
Gu Jue nodded slightly, his gaze slipping past to fall on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu also gave Gu Jue a salute and said, "Commander Gu, Su Wan is okay now, right?"
"Yes, Wanwan is fine now."
Gu Jue withdrew his gaze, then walked away.
Sheng An glanced at Lin Yu, noting that his expression remained ever calm and composed.
Only then did he feel relieved.
He moved back to his place among friends, all equally concerned about Xiaowan’s safety.
It couldn’t be any better than this.
Su Wan was delighted to see her friends arrive, so she asked Vermilion Bird to lead the household robots to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and fruit juices as a treat for them.
Before long, the sleepy baby with wolf ears also came downstairs.
He stretched out his little chubby hands to Luo Jina, "Sister, hug!"
Luo Jina immediately scooped the chubby little bundle into her arms and showered him with kisses.
Alex, a little sullenly, said to Su Wan, "Xiaowan, what are we going to call you after Jina and I have kids in the future?"
The family tree is getting more and more complicated!
Su Wan smiled, "It doesn’t matter what you call me, the important thing is that we are relatives, family."
After hearing this, Alex’s green hair seemed even brighter.
He liked that explanation!
Meanwhile, Su Wan inquired about school matters with Sheng An, Lin Yu, and the rest.
As they were all concerned about Su Wan, they inevitably talked for quite a while.
As mealtime approached, Su Wan invited several friends to stay for dinner and went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes for everyone.
Though Luo Jina and the others agreed, they did not let Su Wan cook.
Luo Jina glared, "We are here to visit the patient, not to let the patient cook for us!"
Sheng An also said, "Let the household robots do it. It’s not about what we eat, but about wanting to spend more time talking with you."
Su Wan: "But I, this patient, happen to be the strongest among the few of us."
No sooner had she finished speaking than all four friends fell silent.
Previously, Alex and Sheng An were Beastmen, but now their Beast Transformation Level was S-class, lower than that of Su Wan.
As for Luo Jina and Lin Yu, the two were pure humans...
Luo Jina felt a little downhearted, "We had all agreed to stay as pure humans, yet you secretly evolved..."
Su Wan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
About the matter of Su Wan becoming a Beastman.
During the time she was unconscious, it indeed caused quite a stir within the Universe Alliance.
However, after the people from Mermaid Planet visited the Federal Empire,
everyone learned that this Su Wan was a descendant of the founding queen of the Mermaid Clan.
The identity of the Lin Family could no longer be hidden.
It then became clear that not just anyone had the chance to evolve into a Beastman.
If someone’s pure human parents and ancestors were mostly pure humans or low-level Beastmen,
then their children would not have the chance to become Beastmen.
This realization sobered everyone up and prevented the situation from escalating into madness.
Otherwise, many would probably want to capture Su Wan for dissection and research...
Of course, no one dared at the moment, not with Gu Jue around.
When lunchtime came, Su Wan made a special trip upstairs to call Gu Jue to the study.
In fact, she thought Gu Jue might not really want to join them for lunch.
To her surprise, Gu Jue readily agreed.
He reached out and ruffled his little wife’s soft hair, "If I go down and join you, won’t it make them very nervous?"
Su Wan: "Perhaps... not?"
As it turned out, it’s best not to end statements with a question mark.
When Gu Jue appeared in the dining room and sat next to Su Wan, naturally placing food onto her plate,
Luo Jina and the others were shocked, as if they had seen an impostor of the Commander!
He was being unbelievably considerate and gentle toward Xiaowan!
