Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Let’s Watch the Big Wings Tonight
Su Wan’s expression faltered for a moment as she asked, "Is the coordinate far from us?"
"Yes."
The Insectoids are quite cunning, not to mention that Doris has a Lucifer by her side.
Their base camp is especially far from the main planet of the Federal Empire, probably due to their wariness of it.
Over the years, Doris and Lucifer have colluded to commit many misdeeds, plundering various planets clean, and established several locations for their base camp.
This time, it should be their real base camp.
Su Wan nodded, "While they’re weak, let’s eliminate them in one fell swoop. That way, our Universe Alliance can look forward to decades of peace."
"Right," Gu Jue reached out and smoothed a lock of his delicate wife’s hair behind her ear, saying, "If they can be eliminated this time, then I can retire early."
Gu Jue was in his forties this year, which was still the prime of life for a Beastman.
Not to mention, with Gu Jue’s immense strength, he could sit in the position of Chief Commander until he was two hundred years old without anyone objecting.
Su Wan reached out and held him, "I don’t care about retiring, and I won’t stop you from going on missions; that’s important. But out there, you must be extra careful. You have me, Xiaochen, and the Mermaid baby at home, understand?"
"Mm."
Because the distance was great, even if everything went smoothly, it would take a month or two for a round trip.
That meant, Gu Jue would miss the birth of the child.
Su Wan wasn’t a frail person, but her heart ached a little at the thought and she even considered accompanying Gu Jue.
But as a pregnant woman about to give birth, going would only cause chaos for Gu Jue and be irresponsible toward the child.
How could she let the child be born in such an unsafe environment?
She pressed her head against Gu Jue’s chest in silence, "If I weren’t about to give birth, I would definitely go with you!"
After all, the decisive battle with Doris was something Su Wan couldn’t avoid.
Gu Jue gently stroked the soft hair on top of her head, "Not just you, the entire Eighth Starship Fleet’s mission this time is to stay behind on the main planet, along with the Fifth Starship Fleet, responsible for protecting the safety of our rear. That’s also very important."
"Mm," Su Wan thought for a moment, then said in a very soft voice, "Ajue, let me see your wings tonight, we don’t have to go all the way, okay?"
"All right."
How could Gu Jue refuse?
He was already feeling extremely guilty for not being able to accompany Wanwan during the dangerous childbirth.
Not to mention, he didn’t want to be apart from Wanwan for even a second!
That night, the master bedroom was filled with an atmosphere of thick tenderness. The pure white wings enveloped the trembling mermaid tail, and the depth in his eyes seemed like a black hole that wanted to swallow his beloved whole.
Only in this way could they avoid separation.
Finally, Su Wan cuddled in Gu Jue’s arms, falling into a deep sleep, but due to her heavy heart, she was very restless, clutching tightly at Gu Jue’s pure white wings.
The fluffy big tail carefully curled around the beautiful golden mermaid tail.
Although they were about to part the next moment, at this moment, she didn’t want to let go.
But it was time to depart.
Gu Jue stood up, carefully and quietly, so as not to wake up his petite wife.
He bent down and kissed her fair cheek, tenderly and reverently. After doing that, he left the master bedroom and went toward his son’s nursery.
When Gu Jue entered the nursery, the baby wolf with ears was still hugging his blanket, sound asleep. The pink octopus in the glass tank next to him had just woken up. Seeing Gu Jue, every one of its tentacles tensed up, and then it hurriedly closed its eyes, pretending to sleep!
There was no helping it, everyone in this family was too terrifying!
The most terrifying of them all was Commander Gu, who once got so angry that the water in the tank next to him froze into ice, nearly killing the little octopus!
Gu Jue didn’t even glance at it, but walked over to his son’s bed, where his large hand accurately and unmistakably patted his son’s chubby little bottom.
The soundly sleeping Little Gu Chen, who was dreaming of nibbling on barbecued squid, immediately jumped up in place, with purple sparks crackling at his fingertips.
However, the purple sparks decisively retracted as soon as they recognized who the attacker was.
The wolf-ear baby, with his big wake-up temper but afraid to show it, let his fluffy dog ears droop as he said morosely, "Daddy, it’s not yet time for me to go to the Imperial Palace for school. Why are you waking me up so early?"
"I have to go on a mission. This mission is very important, but the destination is far and will take a particularly long time. So, I’m counting on you to take good care of Mommy and the baby in her tummy."
Hearing his dad say this, the wolf-ear baby wasn’t sleepy anymore!
Because this was what he had been dreaming of!
Little Gu Chen immediately clenched his little fists, "Daddy, I will definitely protect Mommy and my little sister well. I won’t let anyone bully them! You go on your mission with peace of mind! It doesn’t matter how long you’re away!"
Gu Jue’s mouth twitched, and he reached out to pinch his son’s chubby face, "What’s this? Do you wish I’d never come back?"
Little Gu Chen’s survival instinct kicked in instantly, "No, no, how could I be so unfilial? Besides, if you don’t come back, Mommy would definitely be sad. So Daddy, be sure to stay safe on your mission and don’t worry Mommy and me, alright?"
Gu Jue was somewhat speechless.
He couldn’t figure out whom this child took after.
He said, "Mhmm, Gu Chen, remember the words you’ve said."
After Gu Jue had given his son his instructions, he returned to the master bedroom, kissed his petite wife’s forehead again, and then turned around and left.
When Su Wan awoke, the space beside her was empty, the blanket was cool, which meant that Gu Jue had been gone for quite a while.
She sat up, ruffled her hair, and finally said devoutly, "I hope this time, Ajue and the others will blow up Doris’s lair directly, sending that damn Insect Clan and those damn Star Thieves flying!"
Mainly because those people were too bad, too jumpy, and too annoying.
Feeling a bit regretful she couldn’t go fight the Insect Clan personally, Su Wan got out of bed.
After getting up, Su Wan first sent her son to the Imperial Palace. Little Gu Chen, noticing his mother seemed distracted, earnestly said, "Mommy, don’t be sad. Even though Daddy isn’t home, I’m still here, right? I’ll protect you and my little sister well!"
Su Wan’s lips curled slightly, "Mhmm, Xiaochen is the best."
After dropping off her child, Su Wan arrived at the military department, only to find that everyone seemed to be in a bit of a low mood today?
