Chapter 417: Chapter 417: We Have a Baby Now
Su Wan returned to the main star and was immediately taken away by the couple, Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing, for a health check.
Actually, Su Wan also wanted Gu Jue to check if her spiritual power was stable.
After all, she had almost experienced an outburst of spiritual power before.
But, due to many issues in Landis City, there was a need to hold meetings to discuss and deal with the aftermath.
Gu Jue had to be present.
This planet was originally a place belonging to the Federal Empire and was abundantly resourced.
The mysterious event there has now been completely resolved.
Most importantly, the population of the Federal Empire had already far exceeded the limit, and Landis Star was not very far from the main star of the Federal Empire.
Therefore, Landis Star was a very suitable planet for the relocation of the population.
Many things had to be put on the agenda.
Su Wan had no choice but to get her health check done by herself first.
The matter with the mushroom.
The matter with the child.
All these made Su Wan unable to set her mind at ease.
The towering Medical Research Center was surrounded by cold, white buildings.
Gu Qingyu was in charge here and, along with Ouyang Qing, had always been responsible for taking care of Su Wan’s health.
When they heard about the white mushroom, the usually composed couple were both shocked beyond measure!
Ouyang Qing, "Xiaowan, what kind of mushroom?"
"Just like this."
Su Wan stretched out her hand, and with a thought, conjured a cute white Little Mushroom.
Gu Qingyu’s eyes widened even more as he said excitedly, "Can I dissect it for research?"
The Little Mushroom suddenly whooshed away and vanished!
Gu Qingyu: "..."
I don’t know if it’s the exclusive hobby of those in the medical field, but whenever they encounter something particularly novel and of personal interest,
they just, want to dissect it!
Su Wan was also taken aback and said, "I didn’t make it disappear; it vanished on its own. Big brother, you probably scared it too much."
This was indeed a most novel occurrence.
The Little Mushroom had been scared away by Gu Qingyu.
Since the first Beastman appeared among their ancestors, it was known that it was an evolution to adapt to life in the universe.
For example, ordinary animals evolved into various Star Beasts.
And they, as humans, were also connected to animals.
But plants, they evolved into mutant plants, and some that couldn’t adapt to the new environment of the universe were on the brink of extinction.
But this mushroom...
Su Wan: "Will this mushroom have any effect on my body? Oh, and there’s the matter of the child."
To this day, she was still uncertain whether she was pregnant.
This was indeed a very important issue.
Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing personally conducted a full range of tests on Su Wan, including blood tests and spiritual power assessments.
All the available data indicating Su Wan’s overall health turned out to be in good order.
As for the rest, they would have to wait a while.
While waiting, Su Wan talked to Gu Qingyu and the others about Gu Jue’s spiritual power outburst.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu’s expression grew serious.
Only the three of them were present; there were no outsiders.
He said, "Xiaowan, who else knows about this?"
Su Wan: "There were many residents of Landis present at the time, but they likely don’t understand Beastmen, so they probably don’t know about Ajue’s spiritual power being on the verge of an outburst."
"Additionally, there were a few people from the Royal Star Fleet, but they are all trustworthy."
Gu Qingyu: "Immediately have Commander Gu come here for a check-up, and don’t tell anyone else about this matter."
If Gu Jue truly suffered a spiritual power rampage,
it would be a disaster for the entire Federal Empire.
And if this potential was known to other hostile forces or people with ulterior motives, it would be even worse.
Su Wan deeply understood the key issue, so she did not share it with others.
Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing were trustworthy.
Just at this moment, Ouyang Qing came over with the results of the measurements.
Her expression solemn, "Xiaowan, it’s confirmed that you’re pregnant. But, this mushroom could potentially affect the fetus."
Su Wan’s heart sank.
As expected, the thing she worried about most had happened.
But she remained calm and collected, saying composedly, "Continue."
"The child is currently healthy, but the mushroom is too close to the baby, and it is very likely to establish some sort of symbiosis. That is, a fusion."
Su Wan apologetically touched her flat belly, feeling sorry for the child.
But at that time, she had no other choice, since her companions were all missing, and she could only go on.
Moreover, if this danger was not removed, who knows how many more Beastmen would be dragged into that space in the future, losing their memories, losing their families, and becoming tools to sustain the protective shield of that world.
Given another chance, she would still choose to take the risk and go to save them.
However, Gu Qingyu spoke up, "Xiaowan, you don’t have to be too downhearted. If the mushroom fuses well with your child, it could become his superpower."
Not every Beastman possesses a superpower.
But the child in Su Wan’s womb might naturally have a superpower!
A glimmer of light shone in Su Wan’s eyes again.
She said, "So, does this mean that the fusion process is about seeing who is stronger?"
"Exactly, evolution itself is survival of the fittest."
Those suited to the environment will be left behind.
Those unsuited will be eliminated.
Only the fittest will survive.
Su Wan lowered her gaze gently and said softly, "Baby, you have to work hard."
At that moment, Ouyang Qing suddenly thought of something and spoke softly, "Right, Xiaowan, the baby in your stomach is oviparous."
Su Wan’s eyes immediately bulged wide open.
"Could the baby be a Mermaid?"
"Yes."
If the baby overcomes that mushroom, the child will be born a Beastman with innate superpowers!
With parents having such high Beast Transformation Levels.
The child’s Beast Transformation Level... will definitely not be low!
Even though Ouyang Qing did not actually like children very much, Su Wan had already given birth to a Super S-class son.
Now, another one...
Plus, Su Wan herself being a highly evolved Beastman, and then there’s Commander Gu, the strongest force in the Universe...
Oh my goodness.
This family was simply too frightening!
The checkup results for Su Wan were good except for the mushroom; everything else was normal.
She was tired as well.
But she first boarded the aircraft to go to the Imperial Palace to pick up her son.
After entering that space, Su Wan had thought that she couldn’t get out anymore.
That was why she didn’t want Ajue to come in too.
If Ajue were trapped here as well, what would happen to Xiaochen?
The wolf-eared baby had been waiting so expectantly for his mother to come back and pick him up.
Indeed, as soon as Su Wan arrived at the Imperial Palace, she saw the wolf-eared baby, like a little cannonball, charging out from inside.
Little Gu Chen was about to leap into his mother’s arms, and Su Wan also opened her arms.
But the next moment, Little Gu Chen was abruptly picked up?
"Awoo awoo!"
The very displeased wolf-eared baby kicked and flailed.
He looked up and then spotted his own father, that cold, frosty face.
The wolf ears that had been standing fell flat... like airplane ears...
Gu Jue: "Mommy has a little sister now, you can’t bump into her."
