Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Scared Into Growing a Little Mushroom
It’s unknown who leaked the information, but many people now know that one of Su Wan’s children might be a Plantman!
However, because Su Wan had sent the child to the Imperial Palace in advance, now no one dares to break into the palace directly.
Researchers from the Beastman Research Base have been blocking the entrance to the Imperial Palace, demanding entry, but Gu Zilan has had all of them driven away.
Gu Zilan fumed, "These people are simply sick! Would they dare if my uncle were here?"
Luo Manya spoke softly, "They’re merely testing the limits of the Imperial Family."
The position of the Chief Commander of the military and the first Plantman in the Universe—these two issues are enough to drive those people mad.
That’s why they’re testing the limits of the Imperial Family, to advance their own agendas.
Before, when both Gu Jue and Gu Zilan were present, one in literature and the other in arms, their formidable strength meant that even if those people harbored ulterior motives, they didn’t dare to show it and were always wagging their tails more cheerfully than anyone.
Now, seeing that Gu Jue has gone missing, they’ve started to get restless.
Gu Zilan sneered, "I’ve already discussed it with my father, he will continue to oversee the military. When little uncle returns, we’ll then return the authority of the Chief Commander of the military to him. No one else should even think about it!"
"Additionally, during this time, those who are not staying in line, I will note them all in a little black book. Once little uncle comes back, we’ll deal with each one of them!"
Luo Manya hummed a response, "Calm down, it’s not worth getting angry about. I’m going to go keep company with your little aunt."
"Hmm, okay."
Today, Su Wan was actually in the military base, but when she received a communication from Luo Manya saying that the egg had cracked a bit and it was Little Gu Chen who had discovered it, she immediately rushed over.
And Su Wan’s every move was being watched by those people. Seeing Su Wan heading to the Imperial Palace, everyone guessed that the child must be close to hatching!
At this moment, Su Wan is still watching over it; the eggshell hasn’t broken apart because it had cracked too much and was covered in patterns.
Little Gu Chen was even more anxious than Su Wan; he looked up with his fuzzy wolf ears twitching now and then, "Mommy, is my little sister too tired and lacking the strength to come out? Should we help her?"
"Don’t worry, they will definitely come out. Don’t help, they must complete this step on their own."
At this time, Ouyang Qing came over. She had already examined the Mermaid Egg, "There’s no problem, Xiaowan, rest assured."
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Then talk to the child more or, perhaps, talk about the child’s father," Ouyang Qing didn’t really want to bring this up at the moment, but it was indeed a good method.
Hearing that their father was missing and hadn’t shown up, the sense of kinship in the children’s blood would speed up their hatching effort.
Su Wan quieted down, sitting by the side with Little Gu Chen, softly chatting with the child.
Talking about the little things within their family, about Ajue who had been absent for so long, about...
Little Gu Chen bit his lip and said seriously, "Little sister, hurry and hatch. Then we can go find Dad together. Once we find Dad, our family can be reunited."
Crack, crack.
The cracked eggshell finally began to break apart bit by bit, and within the view of Su Wan and others, emerged a baby with a golden fish tail.
The baby was biting its own fingers, a pair of large black eyes curiously looking at Su Wan.
Su Wan’s eyes moistened as she responded, but then she noticed that this Mermaid baby was a boy, and behind him was another little baby, seemingly scared, shyly looking at them.
The little girl was obviously so nervous that suddenly, poof, a mushroom sprouted from the top of her head.
Su Wan: "..."
So everyone was stunned.
This child is indeed a Plantman!
After a while, the Little Mushroom disappeared again, indicating that the child’s emotions were no longer so tense.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the room. Everyone hurriedly bathed the two children and changed them into soft, cotton clothes before putting them together... They had to be together, because if not, the Mermaid Baby would cry, and the Mushroom Baby would be scared into producing mushrooms continuously.
Su Wan had mixed feelings.
Little Gu Chen, the wolf-eared baby, also had mixed feelings. The one with the golden fish tail was his little brother, who, although beautiful and cute, wasn’t the soft little sister he had wanted!
And the other one was indeed a little sister, equally adorable, but way too timid!
Whenever Little Gu Chen got near, the little girl would get scared and start growing mushrooms!
The wolf-eared baby felt very frustrated!
He turned his head and asked, "Mommy, what’s up with my little sister?"
Su Wan shook her head, saying, "Maybe she’s just a bit scared because she’s newly born. It’s fine, we’ll have your Auntie Ouyang check her out later."
Ouyang Qing, accompanied by her assistant, performed some basic tests on the two babies, but the results surprised Ouyang Qing!
She said, "The data shows that the baby girl is a purebred human."
But what kind of purebred human grows mushrooms on their head when they get nervous!
Of course, it could also be because Plantmen have never appeared before, so all the child’s data was beyond their understanding.
The good thing is, as long as this child doesn’t grow mushrooms when she’s not nervous, she can be publicly announced as a purebred human, and that way, she could be protected.
Then there was the Mermaid baby boy.
Ouyang Qing originally thought there wouldn’t be any issues with this child, but as the examination went on, the golden-tailed baby boy suddenly burped and shot out a small burst of flames, singeing Ouyang Qing’s bangs.
Luckily, the fire was extinguished in time!
Ouyang Qing, with a tuft of her hair burnt, turned around and said to Su Wan in astonishment, "Your child has a Fire Element Superpower!"
A golden fish tail and a natural-born Fire Element Superpower User.
Su Wan realized that this child was actually Queen Gaia’s most perfect heir!
A few hours later, it was announced that one of the children was a Mermaid and the other was a purebred human.
Upon hearing this, netizens all felt a sense of "I knew it."
[I heard that Su Wan’s mother also gave birth to twins after becoming pregnant, one of which was a Beastman and the other a purebred human.]
[To be fair, Su Wan’s genes are really strong!]
[By the way, wasn’t Su Wan’s former fiancé the one who despised her for her poor health, worried that she wouldn’t be able to have children in the future?]
People were initially discussing Su Wan’s two children, but soon the conversation drifted off-topic.
They started speculating about whether Su Wan’s former fiancé was impotent.
Those who tried to stir things up online and lead negative public opinion were rendered speechless.
Su Wan never left the nursery. Watching her daughter lying there, the little girl was no longer afraid of Su Wan, probably due to the mother-daughter connection.
Aside from her Mermaid brother, the little girl now smiled only at Su Wan.
Her big eyes were particularly bright, brimming with curiosity. She reached out her little hands, then went to grab Su Wan’s hand.
