Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Bullied into Tears During His Manic-Depressive Period
The architecture of Landis City was a complete replica of the main city on the Wasted Star.
However, because it was inhabited, it was much livelier than the deserted city.
But at this moment, at its core, the tallest building was completely encased in ice, even covered with pure white snow.
The tall and handsome man, dressed in a crisp military uniform, had eyes filled with a cold light.
He stood on the rooftop, holding a man by the collar.
With his other hand slightly raised, a sharp ice cone floated above his palm.
It was Gu Jue!
The man caught by Gu Jue was dressed in a luxurious robe, and he might have looked amiable under normal circumstances.
But now, due to fear and his frantic struggles, his features were somewhat distorted.
"Impossible! How are you not affected by that Magic Stone! Let me go! Release me now!"
When Su Wan arrived, this was the scene she encountered.
Surrounding them was a circle of guards holding spears and knives, their faces full of anxiety and confusion.
Because they had no idea how the man managed to do it.
Could there be someone able to control ice and snow?
Just at that moment, they also noticed Su Wan on the rooftop, suddenly shouting out, "Who’s there! Don’t come any closer!"
Everyone turned to look at Su Wan.
Su Wan happened to lock eyes with Gu Jue.
And she found that his pupils were still pitch black.
Her heart skipped a beat!
Had Ajue’s spiritual power gone berserk?
The higher the spiritual power of a Beastman, the more powerful they were, but also the more prone they were to mental instability.
Gu Jue had had several unstable episodes of spiritual power before, but he had strong willpower, so he had always kept it under control well.
It was said that on Davis Planet there once was a high-ranking Beastman.
Due to a mental breakdown, he ultimately went mad.
An entire army had to be deployed to subdue him.
And now Gu Jue...
Su Wan’s heart thumped again!
At that moment, one of the guards, thinking Su Wan was in league with that cold man, hurled a knife at her!
Although Su Wan was highly concerned about Gu Jue, she didn’t panic.
She agilely dodged the knife, which was significantly slow.
However, Gu Jue, who was experiencing the mental breakdown, had his eyes shrink!
He immediately threw the man he was holding and flew over here.
The knife Su Wan dodged became encased in ice mid-flight.
It smashed to the ground at the feet of the guards.
The guards... were all dumbfounded!
What exactly happened? Who am I? What is all this stuff!
By the time Su Wan realized, she was already in Gu Jue’s arms.
The embrace of Commander Gu was especially cold, and his pitch-black eyes also shimmered with a cold light.
His consciousness was still a bit muddled.
Yet even so, that instinct ingrained deep in his bones, upon sensing danger to Su Wan, made him rush to rescue her first and foremost.
Even though she had already avoided the dangerous knife.
But, he had to be by her side in an instant, standing guard and protecting her.
Su Wan let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Fortunately, Ajue’s reason was still intact.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said tenderly, "Ajue, you finally came, I’ve missed you."
The two had been separated before due to their busy schedules.
But this separation made Su Wan even consider the possibility that she might never be able to return.
That would mean an eternal farewell.
She truly missed him.
She longed for him to come, yet she also didn’t want him to come.
After all, this place seemed like a different Universe space.
Her feelings were ambivalent.
Now that she saw Gu Jue on the brink of a mental breakdown...
Su Wan was not a crybaby; the times she had cried before... were to soothe Gu Jue during his Manic-Depressive Period, during which he would bully her into tears.
But now, she was crying.
This man, oh, truly loved her to the marrow of his bones.
That’s why he would recklessly come for her, not even knowing if it meant death.
Even with his spiritual power raging, affecting his clarity.
He still came to rescue her the moment he could.
Legend had it that a mermaid’s tears would turn into pearls.
In reality, after having cried themselves numerous times, the Mermaid Clan had proved that the tale was most likely concocted by others!
After all, their eyes had swollen from crying.
Yet they had never seen even half a pearl!
But Su Wan’s tears, as they fell onto Gu Jue’s hand and then onto the ground,
One by one, they landed on the icy rooftop and made a crisp sound.
Drip-drop, they bounced and broke off, crashing onto the ground.
Everyone below was stunned.
Could this be pearls?
Su Wan had already grasped Gu Jue’s hand tightly and said, "Ajue, come to your senses, I’m Wanwan, look at me."
The pitch-black eyes, akin to black holes, slowly started to ripple.
Gu Jue lifted his hand, catching a pearl.
There was a tender touch coming from it.
"Wan... Wan..."
His voice was hoarse, but Su Wan listened with a joy in her heart, hastily reaching out to embrace him in her arms.
Gu Jue also held his delicate wife tightly.
The recovered treasure made Gu Jue’s eyes see only her at this moment.
So, he directly hooked his arm around her neck and kissed her...
The guards circling with weapons: "..."
The City Lord of Landis, who had been thrown aside by Gu Jue and had broken his leg: "..."
His confidant quickly helped him up, whispering, "City Lord, what do we do? This creature is too powerful, even more so than before; we can’t beat it!"
The City Lord thought, aren’t you stating the obvious?
Didn’t you see that my leg’s been broken!
He looked around, lowering his voice, "Let’s go, quickly help me to the secret chamber!"
No matter what, the secret chamber had the most magic stones; even the walls and floors were made of them.
One thing’s for sure, these Beastmen surely wouldn’t dare to barge in!
But as he left limping, supported by his men, the City Lord of Landis looked back nervously.
Something wasn’t right.
That cold, fearsome man, he didn’t seem to fear the magic stones at all!
And he also had superpowers!
Over here, Su Wan was kissed until she was out of sorts, her legs went weak, and her fin-like ears appeared.
Fortunately, Gu Jue was supporting her waist.
After the kiss ended, she leaned on Gu Jue’s chest.
She just so happened to see that City Lord being propped up by his men, moving farther away.
Su Wan quickly said, "We can’t let that City Lord escape! They use those strange stones to extract spiritual power from the Beastmen and use it to maintain some kind of protective shield in this world!"
Although these things couldn’t be explained in just a few words.
But Gu Jue understood that capturing that City Lord was the most important thing.
So, reluctantly letting go of his delicate wife, he leaped from the two-story building.
While the City Lord of Landis and his confidants, who were about to turn the corner, suddenly fell flat on the ground.
Because their shoes had been frozen.
In their haste to escape, how could they not fall?
Su Wan also arrived on the scene.
At this time, the other guards were also picking up their weapons, trying to block the way.
Just as they were about to strike, in the next moment, several people in combat suits leaped out in front of them.
Some had wings, some had horns on their heads, and others were half-human with elongating serpent tails...
The guards were dumbfounded.
"The... the creature guests have all broken out!"
