Chapter 361: Chapter 361: The baby cried out with a ’wa
Su Wan watched intently for over an hour.
Afterwards, she closed the exquisite book with emotions stirring inside her, filled with shock and admiration.
Queen Gaia was a truly great person.
She had dedicated the first half of her life to rescuing the Mermaid Clan.
And later, after establishing the Mermaid Kingdom, she used her spatial superpower multiple times, deeply concerned about the future of the Mermaid Planet.
Moreover, she chose a very reliable successor—her former assistant, Lan Xiao.
What shocked Su Wan the most was the last part of Gaia’s notes.
It was left for Su Wan.
"I know you do not know me, but I have actually always been by your side. You might not understand what this means, but once you are able to skillfully use the spatial superpower, you will know."
"The Mermaid Clan has romantic hearts and does not like war. In the future, they are certain to face many difficulties, and they might even face extinction."
"I know you must have your own family and friends and do not wish to inherit this throne, and I should not have placed this burden upon you."
"However, I hope that you can also consider the Mermaid Clan, of course, the kind-hearted among them, as your family."
"Xiaowan, I know you are outstanding and you are also my pride."
"If you refuse, it’s all the same, what I could do for the Mermaid Clan is only so much."
Queen Gaia had long anticipated that Su Wan would read this note.
Actually, by this point, Su Wan had fully understood.
Why she had time-traveled to Ancient Earth in the first place.
That accident was Gaia protecting her.
After all, by logic, a purebred hit directly by a photon cannon would have slim chances of survival.
Moreover, Su Wan was only thirteen years old then.
But she had survived.
And several other times after that...
Su Wan stepped out of the secret chamber, Gu Jue had been waiting outside for her.
Seeing her come out safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to her, and took her hand.
Su Wan: "I really admire Gaia."
Gu Jue: "You are also very outstanding, or else you wouldn’t have been chosen by her as her successor."
Gaia had used her spatial superpower multiple times in the past to peek into the future.
Of all her descendants, Su Wan was definitely the most outstanding one!
Su Wan reached out and hugged Gu Jue, "I just realized that the many dangers I’ve been through since I was little, she actually saved me."
Gu Jue: "Why have you been through so many dangers?"
Su Wan was startled.
She suddenly remembered that back when she was thirteen, the person who attacked her was the young Lucifer!
At that time, he had intended to kill her!
Su Wan gripped Gu Jue’s hand tightly, "Could it be that Gaia went to the future and protected me multiple times because someone else also had the spatial superpower, and he wanted to kill me? Is that why Lucifer was sent to kill me?"
Su Wan was the successor chosen by Gaia.
And the other party did not want the successor, Su Wan, to live on.
Both thought simultaneously of the blond woman they had fought recently.
Su Wan remembered that the woman had said, although she did not remember why she wanted to kill you.
But the next time she appears, she will not let you go...
Su Wan raised her head and said, "This blond woman, she knows spatial magic! Which means, she wants to kill me! But for some reason, her memory seems to be incomplete."
Gu Jue: "We still need to inquire about Queen Gaia’s affairs. Only then can we analyze whether this woman is related to her in any way."
Su Wan: "Could it be that she is Queen Gaia’s sister? But that doesn’t seem right either; If Queen Gaia really had a sister, she should be hundreds of years old by now."
"Next, we have to investigate the Lin Family again, and also, learn more about the Royal Family of the Mermaid Planet."
Su Wan nodded seriously.
The two followed their original plan and went to the Queen’s Palace Memorial Museum to pay their respects.
Lan Ruojin and Lan Rui, the brother and sister, were in charge of reception and guidance.
Lan Rui now had no covetous thoughts about Gu Jue at all.
The entire Mermaid was awkward and fidgeting.
Finally, when Su Wan went to the bathroom, Lan Rui also went in.
As Su Wan was washing her hands, she watched her through the glass mirror.
Lan Rui pursed her lips, "Don’t be nervous, I don’t mean anything by it, and besides, I have no designs on Commander Gu anymore. Just now, I didn’t even look him in the eye!"
Su Wan shook the droplets of water from her hands, "Do I look nervous to you? But you... What do you want to say?"
Lan Rui’s finned ears were all wrinkled with indecision!
Eventually, she steeled her heart and blurted out, "I’m sorry!"
After uttering those three words, the Mermaid dashed out, moving as fast as she ever had, almost becoming a blurred afterimage!
Su Wan’s mouth twitched wordlessly.
Keen on learning more about Queen Gaia, Su Wan was very serious during her visit to the Queen Gaia exhibit hall.
Throughout the visit, Gu Jue didn’t speak and didn’t disturb Su Wan.
Quietly noting down some details, Su Wan didn’t realize how the sky had darkened.
Lan Ruochen had the dinner arranged early to warmly entertain Gu Jue and Su Wan as a couple.
It was to thank them for their assistance.
The Star Warriors from the First Starship Fleet were also warmly welcomed.
During the banquet, Su Wan saw Yin Yue teasing Li Rui while sitting together.
No matter what Yin Yue did, Li Rui’s face remained stern.
Su Wan asked Gu Jue in a low voice, "Does Yin Yue have feelings for Li Rui or something?"
Gu Jue glanced over indifferently.
He never concerned himself with the gossip among subordinates.
As for Yin Yue and Li Rui... Gu Jue said, "Li Rui doesn’t like women."
Su Wan was shocked, "No wonder he’s always with Eric!"
Gu Jue was somewhat puzzled, and after thinking for a bit, he added, "Li Rui isn’t interested in settling down, he doesn’t like women or men, Mermaid Beastmen, pure humans, he likes none."
"Oh, I see."
This was a career-focused individual.
After the banquet, Lan Ruochen arranged a very high-class resting room for Su Wan and her husband, then went off to deal with his own affairs.
After all, a great deal had happened in the Imperial Palace today, and many people had died.
Gu Jue took a shower first.
When Su Wan came out after her shower, Gu Jue took the initiative to grab the hairdryer and blow-dry her hair.
His large hand gently pressed against her scalp, it was very comforting.
Su Wan squinted her eyes like a cat.
But after a while, she slowly opened them again, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Ajue, why do I feel like I’ve forgotten something?"
Gu Jue was blow-drying his little wife’s hair with earnest, gently massaging her head.
He said, "If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it, it’s probably nothing important."
"Oh."
Far away in the main star of the Federal Empire,
Imperial Palace.
Luo Manya looked helplessly at the wolf-eared baby who had just woken up.
She said, "Little Gu Chen, your mommy and daddy had some urgent matters, they didn’t mean to leave you behind, they will come back to pick you up once they’re done. You can play here for now, Ruanruan will keep you company, okay?"
Next to her, the pretty and lovely Princess Ruanruan earnestly said, "Little Uncle, be good, don’t cry."
Upon hearing this, Little Gu Chen immediately burst into tears!
He had only taken a nap.
And when he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the Imperial Palace!
Hadn’t they agreed to go on a family trip?
It felt like he had been abandoned for a lonely trip!
QAQ!
