Chapter 357: Chapter 357: I Thought You Were a Love Rival, But It Turns Out You’re a Silly Fool?
Su Wan was momentarily startled.
After all, they were still wearing masks, yet this woman recognized Gu Jue?
All she heard was Yin Yue continuing, "No matter what mask you wear, I know every part of your body clearly."
Su Wan: "..."
Wasn’t that statement a bit ambiguous?
She turned her head to look at Gu Jue.
Gu Jue slowly spoke, "I’ve been seriously injured a few times before; it was Yin Yue who performed the surgeries, cutting away the necrotic tissue."
Alright, it was like that.
But Su Wan was still somewhat upset.
However, upon hearing Gu Jue’s explanation, Yin Yue under her robe, her silver mermaid tail slapped the sofa.
She propped her chin with one hand, curiously saying, "Who is this little girl? Don’t tell me..."
Yin Yue’s eyes lit up instantly!
The next moment, Yin Yue rushed over to Su Wan.
She stretched out both hands and hugged her tightly!
"You are Xiaowan, aren’t you? Ah, I’ve finally seen the living Xiaowan!"
"You have no idea, when I heard you were the Food God, I was so happy I ate a lot of grilled fish slices!"
Su Wan: "..."
I thought you were a love rival, but it turns out you’re a goofball?
Should I still be jealous?
But before Su Wan could react, Gu Jue, already with a cold face, pulled Yin Yue away.
He protected Su Wan behind him.
He said, "We are here on serious business, something must have happened at the Imperial Palace."
Yin Yue continued to glance at Su Wan, then casually said, "What could possibly happen, the Insectoids would definitely not attack Mermaid Planet first if they were really going to assault the Universe Alliance."
Yin Yue’s beautiful finned ears flapped to and fro.
She moved closer to Su Wan again, speaking very enthusiastically, "Why have you hidden your beautiful face? And your tail, is it really golden, can you transform it out for me to touch? If that’s not possible, you can touch my tail first! We can exchange pleasantries!"
Su Wan silently moved behind Gu Jue, her voice without inflection, "Is this person reliable at all?"
Gu Jue shielded his petite wife behind him and said to Yin Yue, "Someone claims to be Queen Gaia, have you heard about this?"
Yin Yue was taken aback, "No, what’s that? Wait here for a moment."
She took out a light-brain device and dialed a string of numbers, but after a long while, nobody responded.
Yin Yue’s expression darkened.
"There may indeed be something wrong in the palace."
Half an hour later, Su Wan and Gu Jue arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace on Mermaid Planet along with Yin Yue.
From the outside, the palace on Mermaid Planet looked like an inverted dome-shaped giant fishbowl.
Inside glowed with phosphorescent glass, and the outside was magnificent and beautiful.
It must be said that the people of Mermaid Planet really spent a lot of time focusing on aesthetics.
Their sense of beauty was indeed always on point.
But, as expected, many people were stopped outside, utterly unable to open the main gate.
Yin Yue went to inquire and quickly returned to Su Wan and the others with an ugly expression on her face.
"The main door has been sealed; the opening mechanism can only be activated from the inside. It’s very difficult for outsiders to enter."
Su Wan: "Very difficult to enter, which means there is another entrance into the Imperial Palace, right?"
"Yes, there is one more entrance."
A familiar male voice suddenly echoed.
Su Wan looked up and found it was indeed an old acquaintance.
Mermaid Prince Lan Ruojin.
Lan Ruojin’s scrutinizing gaze swept over Su Wan and Gu Jue, but he did not recognize them.
Then he said to Yin Yue, "Auntie, who are they? What happened inside?"
Yin Yue looked around and whispered, "Let’s go, we’ll talk on the aircraft."
After all, too many people had gathered at the entrance.
Too many eyes.
Once they reached the aircraft, Lan Ruojin learned about what had happened inside the Imperial Palace.
At the same time, he also learned about Su Wan’s and Gu Jue’s identities, and he was immediately stunned.
He looked at Su Wan, now of such an ordinary appearance, with very mixed feelings.
Gu Jue stepped forward subtly, using his body to block Lan Ruojin’s view.
He asked, "Do you know where the other entrance is?"
Lan Ruojin dared not offend this big shot.
He quickly said, "Indeed, there’s another entrance, but ordinary people can’t enter at all, it needs..."
Lan Ruojin got to this point and his eyes fell on Su Wan, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"With you, we can enter that entrance!"
Some ten minutes later, Su Wan finally understood why Lan Ruojin said they could enter the entrance with her.
Because the entrance leading to the Imperial Palace was exactly built in the basement of the Queen’s Palace Exhibition Hall.
Lan Ruojin: "This passage has two modes of entry. One is consistent with the entire Imperial Palace system, which means it’s not accessible right now. The other... requires adding blood of Queen Gaia or her descendants."
Such a method was really ancient.
This reminded Su Wan of the tropes in the fantasy novels from Ancient Earth.
But since she had traveled to Ancient Earth before, and Queen Gaia’s spatial superpower was so formidable, maybe she had been to Ancient Earth as well.
But just a drop of blood should not be a big issue.
When they arrived in front of the door, after discussing with Gu Jue, Su Wan took out a dagger and cut her finger.
A single drop of blood fell onto the diamond-shaped metal compass.
After a while, the compass slowly started moving, and a door hidden within the wall began to open slowly.
All of them watched this scene in astonishment.
Even Lan Ruojin himself stared in disbelief.
"My God, it’s actually real! When I first overheard this matter, I thought it was just a story."
Unable to hold back, Su Wan asked, "You overheard it?"
Lan Ruojin: "Of course, this is something only the kings from each generation know. I also know that this method was initially from the notes of the queen."
Su Wan remembered that Queen Gaia had specifically left many things for her descendants.
Including those notes which recorded the coming of the Insectoids.
That is to say, Queen Gaia might have foreseen the future.
Could she even have predicted that her descendant, Su Wan, would come here one day?
Yin Yue brought her hands together in prayer, her eyes filled with admiration for the queen, "Queen Gaia is so amazing!"
Protecting Su Wan as they walked inside, Gu Jue spoke indifferently, "Queen Gaia’s first superpower was spatial superpower, and our subsequent research suggested that maybe her abilities had evolved to traverse space-time."
That is to say, Queen Gaia could have traveled to some moment in the future, knowing what was to come.
Therefore, she left behind the queen’s notes, a warning for her descendants.
Su Wan had always been aware of Queen Gaia’s spatial superpower.
After all, her own unstable spatial superpower might have been inherited from Queen Gaia.
But...
Curious, Su Wan asked, "Ajue, what was Queen Gaia’s second superpower?"
