Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Mom, Do You Have Another Kid on the Side?
The combat strength of the three individuals was formidable.
Particularly so were Pandora and Su Wan.
Although Sheng An’s combat power was not on the same level as theirs, her mecha had wings, which allowed for nimble dodging and flexible engagement and disengagement in battle.
Moreover, it was originally a combination of all three of them fighting together.
Therefore, this virtual PK was extremely fierce and exciting.
Other Interstellar Warriors couldn’t enter the virtual training room of this Ninth Squad.
Alex lay there, regretfully watching the situation within the virtual training ground.
"They’re having so much fun fighting, what a pity we came too late to join."
Lin Yu did not speak.
He watched the three individuals inside and felt that they didn’t seem very happy. Why was that?
Pandora, because of what happened during the day, but what about Su Wan and Sheng An?
Half an hour later, they finally had their fill of fighting.
Su Wan came out of the virtual pod and walked out, just in time to see Pandora and Sheng An coming out from the neighboring pods.
Pandora exhaled, "I feel a bit better now. Captain, don’t worry, I won’t do that again."
Su Wan nodded her head.
Once burned, twice shy, and besides, Pandora wasn’t a fool.
But Sheng An...
After Pandora left, Su Wan walked shoulder to shoulder with Sheng An.
She asked, "Xiao’an, what’s wrong with you?"
Sheng An looked at the ground, "Xiaowan, do you still remember Zhuo Yun from Yuanyi Planet?"
Su Wan nodded.
That goose came to the Federal Empire, supposedly to find a wife.
He has yet to find someone he fancies.
Su Wan looked at her friend.
Could it be that Zhuo Yun took a fancy to Xiao’an?
Sheng An was startled, and seeing the gossip in Su Wan’s eyes, she said with a cry and a laugh, "Don’t get carried away, Xiaowan. Zhuo Yun came to me because he thinks I might be the child of one of his relatives."
Su Wan replied, "So that’s it. What do you think, Xiao’an?"
Sheng An replied, "I’ve already stopped wanting to find my family. I have a good life now, with relatives and friends, and a career."
When she needed her family the most, they weren’t there.
And now that she has grown up...
She needed them even less.
Su Wan shook her head, "If that were true, your heart wouldn’t be in turmoil. Xiao’an, you need to find out how you left them those years ago. What if you were stolen from your parents by someone evil?"
"Of course, if they didn’t want you and abandoned you, then now there’s no need for you to return to them, even if they need you."
Sheng An had indeed been hesitant all along.
After hearing what Su Wan had said, she bit her lip and finally nodded, saying, "I’ll contact Zhuo Yun!"
Su Wan asserted, "Xiao’an, no matter what, I’m your friend. Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you."
Sheng An nodded solemnly.
It was late now, and Su Wan said goodbye to her friends and went to Gu Jue’s private resting room.
He hadn’t come back.
Su Wan therefore contacted Queen Luo Manya to chat with Xiaochen.
In this period, Xiaochen had been living in the Imperial Palace.
The wolf-eared baby haughtily ignored Su Wan’s call for two seconds.
But after hearing his mother mention cutting the call, he immediately ran over with a humph.
The little guy complained beseechingly, "Mommy, do you not love me anymore? Do you have other kids outside?"
Su Wan touched her belly.
She said, "Don’t worry, I have a medical check-up every year, and for now, you don’t have a brother or sister."
"However, speaking of others, today a little boy, who seemed to be two years older than you, tried to trick me."
Su Wan told Little Gu Chen about the flower-selling boy, and it indeed caught his attention.
But what worried him more was his mom.
"Mom, you’re not hurt, are you?"
Warmth flooded Su Wan’s heart.
The discomfort Doris had brought was also dissipating a lot.
She said, "Little Chen, don’t worry. Mom’s so powerful, how could she get hurt? And you, were you well-behaved in the Imperial Palace today?"
Little Gu Chen: "I was always well-behaved so that Mom would come back earlier, right?"
Su Wan: "That’s right! My Little Chen is so good!"
Su Wan then chatted with Queen Luo Manya for a while, and she could detect the tiredness in Luo Manya’s voice.
Su Wan: "Those women, are they still haunting you?"
Queen Luo Manya: "Mhm, no matter how Zilan rejects them, they always find a way to rise again. Interesting, isn’t it?"
Although Queen Luo Manya said it was interesting, her tone remained gentle.
But within it was tinged with shards of ice.
Su Wan: "Don’t overthink it. As long as Zilan holds on, there won’t be a problem, and besides, this kind of issue will disappear after a while."
Those women, though they flocked eagerly, didn’t dare to go too far.
After a while, once the young people from the prominent families of the Federal Empire were all picked out, they would start to get anxious.
Queen Luo Manya hummed in response: "Mhm, I know, and if Zilan can’t hold on, I can just take Ruanruan and leave."
After the divorce, she could still get a few planets and a pile of Star Coins and other assets.
She would still be able to live on.
Queen Luo Manya spoke seriously: "I’ve thought it over. I should be able to remarry without much difficulty."
Su Wan’s lips twitched.
So you’ve already thought that far ahead!
Just a moment ago, Su Wan was worried about Luo Manya, but now, she suddenly felt a bit concerned for her inexpensive nephew, Gu Zilan!
After ending the call, Su Wan leaned back on the soft sofa, her mind preoccupied with Doris’s matter.
Over the years, Su Wan’s Spatial Superpower had advanced again.
But using Spatial Superpower consumed too much spiritual power.
Short-distance Instant Teleportation was still manageable.
If it were for a long distance, her spiritual power would suffer serious damage.
Otherwise, Doris wouldn’t have been so quiet and subdued.
Just as she was thinking, Gu Jue pushed the door and entered. His coat, carrying a slightly fishy smell, was casually taken off and thrown into the washing machine.
Su Wan: "Gu Jue, how did it go?"
Gu Jue: "It was a Poisonous Insect, and moreover, more ferocious than before. Luckily it hadn’t matured, but it still injured several of our people. Hiber, he is dead."
If that Poisonous Insect had matured, it wouldn’t just be a few people injured.
Gu Jue reached out to touch his gentle wife’s soft hair, "I’m going to take a shower, and then I’ll come back and tell you everything."
Hiber was dead, and the Poisonous Insect larva was also killed.
After Gu Jue washed off the nasty scent of the bugs from his body, he returned to the room.
Droplets of water still clung to his hair.
Su Wan took out a towel and helped him dry off.
"What exactly happened?"
"Everything you guessed was right. Hiber had Poisonous Insect larvae planted inside his body and had managed to evade the annual inspections. The other side remotely controlled him, providing him with all the resources he wanted."
"What about those three flower-sellers?"
"They were hired by Hiber with money. He only hoped to hold back Pandora so it would affect the strength of your squad. But he didn’t anticipate that you would personally go to find Pandora."
Su Wan understood.
"He has always disliked me, so he just went with the plan and by the way had those people keep me as well. Because when we were fighting, those few were quite wary and said they didn’t want to hurt me."
They just wanted to make some money and, of course, did not dare to really hurt Su Wan and the others.
Nor did they have the capability to do so.
Gu Jue: "However, we don’t know where the mother of the Poisonous Insects is."
