Chapter 467: Chapter 467 Su Wan Has Been Acting Strangely Lately
White Tiger looked at the insectoid corpse on the ground, and it snorted coldly, "This insectoid was also foolish. If she had disguised herself as Doris, you might have believed her to some extent, but she pretended to be the mistress. The mistress would not appear here."
Azure Dragon suddenly spoke up, "No, the mistress might appear here."
White Tiger: "Yo, old dragon, you still have energy left? Save your breath, or you’ll turn into a pile of scrap metal!"
Azure Dragon: "You’re running low on power too, aren’t you? Speak less and save some power to accompany the master."
If both of their energy sources were to be depleted, White Tiger would enter hibernation, whereas Azure Dragon would become a pile of scrap metal.
White Tiger was silent for a few seconds, but couldn’t help itself and asked, "Old dragon, why did you say just now that the mistress might appear here?"
"Because the mistress also has spatial superpower abilities."
"Ah, but we don’t even know where this is, and it is definitely very far from the Empire Main Star. It would be very dangerous for the mistress to come here!"
Azure Dragon: "Based on our logical calculations, the mistress should not appear here because it’s extremely dangerous and the chances of success are very low, but, judging from human emotions, if she finds a way, she will definitely come."
White Tiger fell silent.
It looked at its master, Gu Jue, and said with sudden emotion, "Old dragon, you’re rarely this smart. Let’s have a chat. Maybe after this, we’ll have no more chances to talk."
"Mm, do you have anything you regret the most?"
"Me? My biggest regret is that Vermilion Bird has always refused to marry me."
"..."
Gu Jue actually heard the entire conversation between the two artificial intelligences, and although he missed Wanwan terribly, just as Azure Dragon and White Tiger had said, he did not want Wanwan to come.
After all, he himself had no idea what kind of place this was!
Gu Jue spread open his palm, where a small white mushroom lay obediently. His thumb gently touched the little mushroom, and he half-closed his eyes.
Wanwan...
Su Wan awoke from a nightmare once more. Ever since Gu Jue went missing, she had nightmares every night.
Actually, without a fluffy tail to embrace at night, Su Wan started suffering from insomnia. Sometimes, when she was utterly unable to sleep, she would continue training her superpower, or engage in mecha combat.
Only by keeping herself busy every day could Su Wan prevent herself from missing Gu Jue.
She went to the military headquarters as usual during the day. Because she hadn’t slept the previous night, Su Wan fell asleep at her desk. When she awoke, she found that Lin Yu was sitting next to her, offering her a cup of warm water.
"Xiaowan, are you alright? Your complexion looks awful. Maybe you should take a few days off at home?"
"I’m fine."
Su Wan was feeling a bit thirsty too. She took a sip and then, looking up, said, "How has work been recently? Although we don’t have to go out on missions, there are still many clerical tasks that need to be done."
Lin Yu: "It’s not a big problem. As you know, these things are easier and simpler for me. It’s just that... like everyone else, we from the ninth squad are all very worried about you. After all, Commander Gu has been missing for so long..."
Su Wan’s hand holding the water cup paused, and she said earnestly, "Ajue will definitely return safely."
"Yes, someone as good as Commander Gu will definitely return safely."
A little while later, Lin Yu received a call and left to take care of something. Sheng An came over and said, "Lin Yu is getting married. I heard his fiancée is a mermaid."
"Oh."
Sheng An saw that she did not care at all, so he did not say much more, and as for what Lin Yu was thinking, probably Xiaowan did not care either.
She said, "Xiaowan, don’t work too hard, all of us believe that Commander Gu will definitely return safely. Now there’s a thread online where everyone is making prayers, hoping that Commander Gu will come back soon."
Su Wan actually did not know about this, she opened her light-brain star network, and the top post was indeed this sticky thread.
The thread was very popular, with countless citizens of the Empire praying there, hoping for Commander Gu’s safe return.
As Su Wan read, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and her heart felt warm.
This was great, all the sacrifices Ajue had made for the people of the Empire’s planets over the years, and his protection, had not been in vain.
In this way, Su Wan’s confidence became even stronger, she must find Ajue!

The main star, Imperial Palace.
Little Gu Chen frowned, looking somewhat downcast, while Gu Ruanruan had just finished a round of mecha simulation PK, her forehead dotted with sweat, her eyes very bright.
She asked, "Xiaochen, what’s wrong?"
"I’ve been feeling that mommy is a bit strange lately."
Gu Ruanruan was curious, "Strange in what way?"
The wolf-eared baby frowned and said, "I’m not sure, but I feel like mommy has to do a lot of things every day, she seems to be making some kind of arrangements for everything."
Gu Ruanruan, very smart herself, listened and squatted next to Little Gu Chen to think along, "I remember, when Grandpa and Grandma were planning to tour the universe, they made plans for everything. For example, they left public affairs to my father the Emperor, the military department to my uncles, and so on..."
Little Gu Chen frowned, "Right, mom had people manage the Su family restaurant, and she told me to be good to my little sister, and... But, dad hasn’t come back yet, she shouldn’t go touring the universe all by herself."
Both children were very clever, but they were still too young to understand some things.
Moreover, they also felt that Su Wan would definitely not tour the universe alone, and then the two children had no choice but to think in other directions.
Queen Luo Manya, who overheard the conversation between the two children, frowned slightly, but she did not say anything, worried the children would overthink, and then discussed the matter with Gu Zilan during their rest time at night.
Gu Zilan had been very busy recently, and when he could no longer keep up, he let his father go to the military department, having just gotten a bit of free time.
Hearing the Queen say this, Gu Zilan was startled, "Isn’t Auntie just trying to keep herself busy so that she doesn’t have time to be too sorrowful and upset? Ah, their marriage is especially good, they both treat each other as if they were their very life. Now Uncle’s whereabouts are unknown, Auntie must be especially upset."
Luo Manya said, "How about this, tomorrow I’ll call Jina into the palace too, and then I’ll have a good chat with Auntie. No, no, I’ll directly go to Commander Gu’s residence; it’s a good opportunity to see the mermaid egg as well."
"Mhm, that would be good, thank you for your hard work, Manya."
Luo Manya sighed, "I genuinely like Su Wan, and I hope she will be happy with Uncle. I have no other abilities, but if I can help ease her mind even a little, it would be good."
Gu Zilan’s mood was also very low, it so happened that he had spent more time with Uncle than with his own parents.
"Tomorrow, let’s send more people out to search for Uncle."
"Mhm."
