Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Little Wolf Cub: Who’s Bad-Mouthing Me Behind My Back?
"Once I get the matters sorted out on Yuanyi Planet, I’ll be back."
"Mhm," Su Wan paused and added, "Ajue, I miss you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jue hummed in response, but his slightly open hand had already clenched into a fist.
He suddenly understood why his brother had abdicated in favor of Zilan after Zilan had grown up and then took his sister-in-law to travel around the universe.
At this moment, Commander Gu Jue suddenly found himself hoping that his son Xiaochen would grow up faster.
That would be nice.
"Achoo, achoo!"
Little Gu Chen, having had his fill and continuing to wrap up the renovation of the children’s room, sneezed several times.
As a super Beastman with an exceptionally strong body, Little Gu Chen was not susceptible to something like a cold.
So...
"It must be someone talking behind my back! Could it be Ruanruan?"
He rubbed his little nose and then asked the Little Octopus in the tank beside him, "What do you think sister will like in the future? Will she like grilled squid just like me?"
The Little Octopus in the tank blew a black bubble.
After all, it was already used to this family. Another little Mermaid who loved eating octopus wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Early the next day, as soon as Su Wan arrived at the military headquarters, she received a communication for an emergency meeting.
She entered the meeting room and found that the members of the two squads that had entered Virtual Landis City with them had all arrived.
Only Sheng An, who was still on Yuanyi Planet, was absent.
Agros sat in the chief seat, nodded at Su Wan, and then looked around.
"Everyone is here. I have an important matter to discuss."
"Recently, several spies were caught within the military. They were sent by Lucifer to investigate the truth about Landis City," he said.
"Yesterday, the Insectoids bewitched MQ748 Planet and launched an attack on Yuanyi Planet."
"From a captured Insectoid commander, we learned that their target is actually the secret of Landis City."
"So..."
Agros’s gaze swept over all the members of the two squads again, and he said, "Doris and Lucifer’s current objective is to capture someone who knows the true secret of Landis City to interrogate them. They might capture a Commander, but if they capture you guys..."
There was no need for Agros to continue.
Alex, sitting beside him, looked grim, "That Doris has Spatial Superpower, and Lucifer is a high-level Beastman."
Those of us here would probably stand no chance of escaping if we ever ran into those two!
Pandora frowned, "How can we guard against something like this? Can’t we just launch a direct attack?"
Team leader Kuhn of the first squad also said, "Commander, under these circumstances, we can’t guard against every possibility. It would be better if we all stayed together all the time because if anyone gets isolated... we might not be able to withstand the enemy."
Agros: "That’s why, in the coming period, the missions for both your squads will primarily take place within the military headquarters, no need for fieldwork. Stick to the military headquarters and your homes, and as much as possible, stay together with your comrades."
"If you get captured..."
Meiling from the first squad timidly raised her hand and said, "We don’t even know why there’s that Virtual City of Landis. I’m thinking, perhaps they want to find out how to enter it?"
Agros: "Right, but try not to get captured in the first place. That Doris uses up a lot of energy with her Spatial Superpower, so she probably can’t do it too many times, and there are limitations."
Su Wan knew that Doris had previously overexerted her Spatial Superpower.
She had even transported Starships.
Later, she did several mass transfers.
Additionally, with the ultra-strong defenses on the main star, it would be quite difficult for Doris to use her Spatial Superpower to capture someone from the main star.
Once she appeared on the main star, the pervasive detection radars would immediately set off alarms.
If Doris’s target put up a fight, then others would arrive swiftly, and Doris’s chances of success would decrease even further.
Agros: "Of course, this is just a warning for everyone. There is no need to let it affect your daily work and life. We are also considering how to take the initiative to strike."
The best defense is to strike first!
Su Wan also pondered the matter. Over the years, the Universe Alliance Army had become much stronger.
"We can’t let that bunch of insects keep hopping around forever."
After Agros ended the meeting, it was adjourned, and when he walked over to Su Wan, he said in a low voice, "Su Wan, thank you."
Su Wan was startled, "What for?"
Pandora hadn’t left either, and she piped up, "It’s about my brother and Bai Qianqian getting together. No, they said they are just trying out dating."
Agros looked at his blunt sister with a speechless expression.
His fair and stern face slightly reddened.
"You all go ahead with your tasks, I still have meetings to attend."
With that, he strode away with his long legs.
Pandora was a bit speechless and turned to look at Su Wan, "Is my brother embarrassed?"
Su Wan spread her hands, "I wouldn’t know, you can ask him."
Pandora shrugged, "Forget it, even if I ask him, he won’t tell."
Although Pandora looked as indifferent as always, Su Wan could sense that she was genuinely happy for Agros and Bai Qianqian being together.
In reality, the Universe Alliance Army wasn’t just sitting around waiting for death.
After using his spiritual power to search through the memories of that Insectoid commander, Gu Jue had identified several coordinates.
These coordinates might not be the Insectoids’ nest.
But they were definitely their important bases!
Soon, the Universe Alliance passed a resolution to launch a proactive attack, especially the people from Yuanyi Planet, who were simply furious.
They were particularly eager!
They were gearing up to teach those insects a lesson in how to be civilized.
Zhuo Yun was going to war.
Before leaving with the Starship Fleet, he specifically came to visit Hua Yueran again.
By coincidence, Sheng An’s vacation was also coming to an end, and it was time for Sheng Le Empire University to start the new term.
They had to return to Federation Empire Star.
Zhuo Yun: "Sheng An, I can’t see you off, shall I ask a friend to take you back?"
Sheng An shook his head: "No need, we’ll take a civilian spacecraft back."
Zhuo Yun didn’t think much of it and nodded, then turned to say goodbye to Hua Yueran, "Auntie Hua, I’ll come to see you again once I’m not busy."
"Hmm, take care and be safe on your mission."
"Yes."
Zhuo Yun left.
Hua Yueran turned around to look at her daughter, whom she had just recently recognized.
She was a bit reluctant to part with Sheng An.
But she knew all too well that it wasn’t easy for a child who had been lost for so many years to be reunited with her.
The child had grown up, had their own opinions, their own work, and their own life.
She had no right to say anything.
Still, Hua Yueran didn’t want to be away from her daughter.
Even though Hua Yueran hesitated to speak, Sheng An saw the reluctance in her eyes.
It wasn’t her intention to lose the child in the first place.
And afterward, she had searched for a long time, but then her husband died, and Hua Yueran caved in completely.
Although now friends and relatives would visit her now and then.
Hua Yueran was a very lonely person.
After hesitating for a moment, Sheng An finally said, "It’s not very safe on Yuanyi Planet right now either, why don’t you come with me to the Federation Empire?"
