Chapter 466: Chapter 466 You’re Not Wanwan
Sheng An also realized something, and she quickly lowered her voice, "Xiaowan, don’t be upset. Commander Gu is so capable, he will definitely return safely."
"Yeah, I know."
Su Wan quickly adjusted her mood, and then turned the conversation back to Sheng An.
She said, "No matter what your final decision is, as long as it follows your heart, then it can’t be wrong."
"Mm."
Although there still wasn’t a clear answer, Sheng An’s mood had obviously improved somewhat.
After chatting with Sheng An for a while about her mother Hua Yueran’s health, Ouyang Qing had arranged for someone to check on Hua Yueran a while ago. Hua Yueran’s health foundation was very weak, but with proper care, it could still improve.
Moreover, much of her issues were related to her state of mind. Having lost her child and her husband, now that at least her child had been found, Hua Yueran’s mood had improved and she was cooperating more actively with her treatment. Her health had also gotten much better.
This, in turn, eased Sheng An’s worries.
After parting with Sheng An, Su Wan returned home and tiptoed to the children’s room to check on the Mermaid Egg, but she found that Little Gu Chen hadn’t yet gone to sleep. The little guy had dragged over a small chair and was earnestly telling a story to the Mermaid Egg.
"The little mermaid, in order to go ashore to repay the prince, grew legs. But she didn’t find the prince and instead met a person who could turn into a cat and stayed with him. It wasn’t until their child grew up that they saw the prince, now a beggar. The prince didn’t recognize the little mermaid. He said, ’Pity me, give me some food,’ and the little mermaid happily gave the prince a bag of steamed buns. Turning to her husband, she said, ’I’ve finally repaid my debt.’"
The child inside the egg: ...
Su Wan standing at the door: ...
"Ahem, Xiaochen, why haven’t you gone to sleep?"
When Little Gu Chen heard her voice, he immediately jumped down from the stool and ran to Su Wan’s side, "Mommy, you hadn’t come back, I couldn’t sleep. I was worried."
How big is this child, anyway!
Thinking that she might not return and looking at how sensible Xiaochen was, Su Wan felt uncomfortable inside.
I’m sorry, Xiaochen, let mommy be selfish this once.
If I don’t find Ajue, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime.
Su Wan touched her son’s soft hair on the top of his head, "Xiaochen, mommy is back now, go wash up and rest."
"Then mommy should also go to sleep early!"
"Yeah, I will go to sleep after checking the Mermaid Egg."
Little Gu Chen nodded vigorously, saying, "I wonder when my little sister will come out of the Mermaid Egg."
"It’s not time yet, but it should be soon."
"Mm-hmm."
The little wolf-eared baby yawned and went to wash up, and Su Wan walked over to the Mermaid Egg, gently caressing it.
Perhaps sensing the presence of its mother, the Mermaid Egg moved forward a bit, as if trying to cuddle with Su Wan.
Su Wan: "When you hatch, I’ll probably be ready to leave. If I’m lucky, I’ll return with your daddy. If not... Xiaochen will be there to keep you company."
The whole egg seemed enveloped by sadness, carefully inching forward. Su Wan, really worried it might fall, quickly cradled it in her arms.
The shell was slightly cool, yet it felt warm. Su Wan could also feel the heartbeat of the child inside.
Two heartbeats, still one strong and forceful and the other slightly slower, but she had asked Ouyang Qing, and both children were healthy.
Just that after the Plantman child hatched, a more comprehensive checkup would still be necessary, and even, the child might have to temporarily stay at the Beastman Growth Base.
However, this child wasn’t actually a Beastman.
Su Wan: "As long as all of you are well, I will be at peace."
After spending some time with the children, Su Wan went for a few laps in the swimming pool. It was only when enveloped by the gentle water that she began to feel a bit calmer.
Get a good sleep, and the next day, continue to strive.
"Ajue, you must wait for me."
**
The corpses of the Insect Beasts and Insectoids in the Insect Nest had piled up into a thick layer.
Before one Insectoid died, it asked Gu Jue with confusion, "You’re so powerful, why don’t you dominate the Universe?"
Gu Jue, "What about you guys? Originally so weak, why do you think about dominating the Universe?"
"We Insect Clan need to reproduce, without so many planetary resources, we can’t reproduce! Only when our numbers increase, can we be very safe in this Universe, without any enemies!"
Gu Jue shook his head, "War can never bring permanent peace."
He coldly decapitated the Insectoid.
White Tiger clicked its tongue on the side, "This bunch of bugs, having a large quantity is a good thing, but focusing solely on quantity and not quality is not good either. Right, Master, the nutrient solution carried in the Space Button is almost gone, what will you do?"
Even though Gu Jue’s appetite was low and he seldom ate, he could not go without eating!
There was some nutrient solution in the Space Button, but it was about to be finished.
Gu Jue’s eyes half-closed, suddenly he stood up and walked towards the pile of the high Insect Beasts corpses.
"Here, there is a lot of protein."
White Tiger instantly understood what Gu Jue was going to do and sighed with regret, "If Madam were here, it would be great."
Madam could turn anything into delicious food!
Thinking about it, White Tiger felt its own stomach getting hungry!
Gu Jue’s actions cutting the Insect Beasts corpses with a dagger paused slightly, then continued cutting.
He too, longed for Wanwan.
But Gu Jue was more reluctant than anyone to let her be in this kind of hellish place!
Even though every corner was walked through, there was nothing useful at all, and from time to time, various Insect Beasts or Insectoids would suddenly jump out.
The Insect Beasts were fine, as those creatures were not smart, but some Insectoids, they had intelligence and were very difficult to deal with!
Just like after Gu Jue roasted and ate the Insect Beasts’ flesh, when he looked up, he saw a figure that resembled Su Wan slowly walking towards him.
The figure had a face exactly like Su Wan’s and the body was also similar.
Gu Jue stared at her tightly, recalling the Wanwan he saw at the wedding in Sanxing District.
The Wanwan at that time was so beautiful.
But the one in front of him now...
"Husband, do you miss me?"
Gu Jue, expressionless, pulled out his dagger and directly decapitated her head.
The woman looked shocked; after being decapitated, her body turned into a black insect. She was not completely dead yet but said in a daze, "Are you this cruel to your wife?"
Gu Jue’s eyes were half-closed, "You are not Wanwan."
"Since when did you recognize me?"
Gu Jue frowned, disliking seeing someone with Wanwan’s face speak, and he lifted a foot and kicked the insectoid head away.
His tone was indifferent as he said, "Wanwan wouldn’t call me husband, she would only call me Ajue."
