Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Is there a woman in Commander Gu’s room?
Jina was instantly dumbfounded!
She touched her still flat belly, looking at Su Wan with utter surprise.
"Xiaowan, are you serious?"
Su Wan nodded, "Absolutely certain, but you might just be tired from the past few days. Once we get back to the main star, go home and rest well."
"Okay!"
Luo Jina was thrilled and turned her head.
Only to find that her husband had turned into a beaming fool with green hair...
After giving some precautions, Su Wan left the room to the happy couple.
But just as she stepped out of the medical office, the spaceship suddenly shook violently!
Su Wan immediately asked through her headset, "Lin Yu, what’s going on?"
Lin Yu: "Captain, we’ve encountered an Insectoid spaceship!"
Over the years, the conflict between the Beastmen and the Insectoids had been unending.
But both sides seemed to have an understanding, perhaps knowing neither was ready.
Therefore, they hadn’t engaged in large-scale warfare.
At most, it was like today, where they’d come across each other and make threats.
Su Wan thought this time would be no different.
They had encountered this situation before.
But the next moment, their ship shook once more.
Even someone as good-natured and temperate as Lin Yu was about to curse out loud!
Were the adversaries intending to pick a fight with them?
Watching the signals on the control screen, Sheng An said to Su Wan, who had just rushed into the control room, "Captain, the opposition has sent a communication invite, do you want to connect?"
Su Wan frowned, "Connect."
As she ordered the connection, she also commanded everyone else to prepare for battle.
The screen flickered a few times upon receiving the signal, and then a woman’s face appeared.
The moment she saw Su Wan, her eyes turned incredibly vicious!
Her face was beautiful, but her features were too perfect, almost giving off a plastic feel.
Su Wan’s lips curled up slightly, "Su Man, long time no see."
The woman on the Insectoids’ spaceship was, indeed, Su Man.
Madness danced in her eyes!
"I guessed it was your ship, but I didn’t expect it to be you! Hahaha!"
Su Wan had already aimed the ship’s Photon Cannons at the opponent’s ship and had the protective shield activated in advance.
She said, "Actually, I’ve missed you quite a bit over these three years. It seems you’ve been doing well."
Just as Su Man was about to gloat, a half-insect, half-human man walked over, wrapped his arm around her waist, and kissed her on the face.
"Wife, stop messing around, we can’t attack right now."
The Queen had commanded that they were not allowed to start a war with the Beastmen.
They couldn’t defy the Queen’s order.
Su Man looked extremely frustrated.
On the other hand, Su Wan, looking at the people on the screen, said with a smile, "So you got married, Su Man, congratulations. May I ask, is Nick still alive? Is Bai Yu also alive?"
The signal was cut off.
The screen went black.
The Photon Cannon from the other side fired first.
But Su Wan and her crew were well-prepared, immediately activating the protective shield and launching a counterattack simultaneously.
Both sides had only one spaceship.
So the battle started abruptly and ended quickly.
Both sides sustained damages.
But because Su Wan and her crew reacted faster and aimed more accurately, their spaceship suffered less damage.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Su Wan decisively ordered everyone to change course and head back to the main star.
"Check the ship for damage, note the number of the opposing starship, and contact the home planet."
"Yes."
After arranging these things, Su Wan squinted her eyes and looked in the direction where Su Man and the others had fled.
She really hadn’t expected it.
Su Man had actually married an Insectoid?
The spaceship safely returned to the home planet, and Su Wan gave her teammates a leave.
With the assessment looming, everyone needed to go back and get some good rest.
As for Luo Jina...
"Jina, you won’t need to participate in this assessment."
Luo Jina was quite upset, "But when you had Xiaochen, it didn’t disrupt your military training."
Su Wan: "Your condition isn’t stable, intense exercise could affect the child. How about this, there are a few days left until the assessment. The day before it, you’ll have a full body check-up. For the next couple of days, just go home and rest, and don’t go running around."
"Oh."
However, it seemed that Miss Luo was still somewhat reluctant.
This assessment was very important to everyone in the Starship Fleet’s Eighth Unit.
Biting her lip, Luo Jina said, "I really want to work hard with everyone to keep the Eighth Starship Fleet. I also want to do something for Brother Agros."
After all, when it came to the earlier matter of her marriage, Luo Jina still felt a bit guilty at heart.
Su Wan understood.
She said: "Don’t worry, Commander Agros understands your feelings. And besides, if you can’t participate this time, isn’t there Alex? Just let him work twice as hard."
After pacifying the young couple and saying goodbye to her other teammates, Su Wan first went to the military department to submit her task.
Lily, the staff member responsible for collecting and organizing energy data, was now familiar with Su Wan.
Upon seeing Su Wan, she whispered mysteriously, "People from Plist Planet and Yuanyi Planet have arrived, apparently for marriage alliances."
It was common knowledge among the people of the Federal Empire.
Whether it was His Majesty Gu Zilan or Lord Commander Gu Jue, they were both extremely good to their wives.
Utterly devoted.
Now with the universe tense as it was, and as the Federal Empire grew increasingly powerful...
It had become a prime target for partnership by other planets.
And marriage alliances were one of the best ways to do so.
Lily, ever the gossip, said softly, "The visitors from Plist Planet are understandable, but those winged ones from Yuanyi, don’t they always desire a lifetime commitment to a single partner? How come they too are thrown into the mix!"
Su Wan’s eyes half-closed, "Maybe they are here in our Federal Empire to find a bride."
Lily paused, "Right, that’s possible too. But Su Wan, you’ve got to keep an eye out, lots of people are eying Commander Gu."
Su Wan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After submitting the materials and confirming the spaceship’s damage, Su Wan headed over to Agros to submit her task.
Agros heard they had been attacked and hurriedly asked, "No casualties, I hope?"
Su Wan: "None, and I’ve also brought back all the data we needed to collect."
Agros nodded, "Good, then you go and get some rest as well. In a few days, it’s time for the Starship Fleet assessment."
"Alright."
As Su Wan left Agros’s office, she saw a message from White Tiger on her light computer.
White Tiger: "Madam, I heard you’ve returned to the military department. The master is waiting for you in the resting room!"
Su Wan smiled.
As she walked towards Gu Jue’s resting room, she asked Vermilion Bird, "Is White Tiger still not speaking to you?"
Vermilion Bird: "Yes, it says that it considers itself dead after the heartbreak, and that it won’t contact its former love until it resurrects, which would be equivalent to coming back from the dead."
Su Wan: "... But the main point is, you’ve never even been together, so how can it consider you an ex?"
Vermilion Bird: "That’s why I say it’s dumb."
Su Wan nodded, "You make a valid point."
When Su Wan reached the door to Gu Jue’s private resting room, she scanned her light computer to enter.
She found, to her surprise, another woman was inside?
