Chapter 474: Chapter 474: The little wolf-eared child wants to stay and protect his sister!
The next moment, Su Wan felt a small white mushroom being placed in her palm.
Su Wan, "Is this for me?"
The little girl, "Ah!"
The golden-tailed baby beside her was sound asleep, blowing bubbles, Little Gu Chen too, having been busy the entire day, was now a bit tired and had fallen asleep on the adjacent bed.
Looking at the small white mushroom in her palm, Su Wan said, "I am your mom. In a few days, I’ll be going to bring back your dad. You need to behave, okay?"
"Ah, ah!"
Su Wan, looking at her soft and tender daughter, suddenly felt a twinge of unwillingness to leave her. Although she had publicly announced that the child was of pure human origin, she was too young, and stress would cause a mushroom to grow on her head, sure to be discovered by others!
Su Wan held her daughter’s chubby little hand, "Baby, listen to mommy, from now on don’t turn into a mushroom so easily, okay? There are bad people who will bully you."
The baby blinked her big eyes, her long lashes sweeping up and down, looking half-understanding.
Suddenly remembering something, she then stretched out her little hands and produced another small mushroom, "Ah!"
Su Wan extended her hand, catching the small mushroom, and the next moment, the pristine mushroom suddenly flashed.
Su Wan’s eyes suddenly narrowed!
The previous mushroom had reacted, and very strongly at that!
She looked at her daughter in surprise, as the little girl giggled at her, and the next moment, the little girl suddenly appeared in Su Wan’s arms.
Spatial Superpower!
Moreover, it was stronger than Su Wan’s Spatial Superpower!
So, the small mushroom that Su Wan had been unable to pinpoint accurately before, her daughter had managed to do it!
Su Wan hugged her baby tightly, then kissed her daughter’s round cheek with all her might, making the little girl laugh gleefully.
Su Wan stayed in the Imperial Palace for three days, and on the fourth day, when she was leaving, Little Gu Chen wanted to follow her. Su Wan touched her son’s hair and said, "Stay here to keep your brother and sister company. Mommy will be back soon."
Little Gu Chen nodded, then curiously asked, "Mommy, have you thought of the names for my little brother and sister?"
Su Wan paused for a few seconds.
Gu Jue had always believed that the egg would definitely hatch a girl, whereas Su Wan thought it was very likely to be a boy. In truth, she would have been happy with either a boy or a girl.
In the end, Gu Jue had come up with a girl’s name, and Su Wan had come up with a boy’s name. They had agreed to wait and see whether it would be a boy or a girl.
"Your little brother’s name is Xiaoyu, and your little sister’s name is Xiaoyan."
"Ohh."
Su Wan ruffled her son’s soft hair on top of his head, then suddenly hugged her eldest son tight, before turning and walking out.
Watching his mother’s retreating back, Little Gu Chen pursed his lips, his eyes slowly reddening, but then he turned around and went back to the children’s room.
They were now living in a palace within the Imperial Palace, the place where Gu Jue used to live.
Little Gu Chen went to the side of the crib, where the household robots were always in attendance. Whatever the two children needed was immediately provided for.
He looked at his younger brother and sister in the crib.
The little Mermaid with the golden tail playfully slapped Little Gu Chen’s hand with her tail. When he got startled, she immediately laughed gleefully.
The black-haired little girl lying beside her didn’t seem so scared either. She wasn’t laughing as wildly, but her big eyes were watching Little Gu Chen intently.
Little Gu Chen immediately tugged on the tail of his brother Xiaoyu next to him, and then leaned close to his sister Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, I’m your brother."
"Ah!"
Xiaoyan was initially a bit scared, but she really liked this brother with the fluffy ears!
With great caution, the little girl stretched out her hand and gently touched her brother’s fluffy ears. Little Gu Chen was very nervous a moment ago, worried that his sister was still a bit scared of him.
He dared not move at all!
The little girl suddenly smiled and then gave a Little Mushroom to Little Gu Chen’s hand.
Little Gu Chen sniffed, saying, "Xiaoyan, I’m your brother, I will stay here, and I’ll protect you guys properly, until... Mom and Dad come back."
He had already realized why his mother had hugged him so tightly a while ago—it was because she was going to look for Dad...
Little Gu Chen wanted to go with his mother to find Dad, too, but he had heard that there were some people outside who wanted to take his sister for research, which would hurt her.
He had to stay behind to protect his sister!
Little Gu Chen guessed right; Su Wan had indeed prepared to set off, as the precise location had been determined and the position might change.
This distance was incredibly far, so far that Su Wan even felt it might be another universe altogether.
But even so, she still wanted to try.
Gu Jue did not have spatial superpower, nor did he have a universe spacecraft; it was simply impossible for him to return.
Su Wan wrote a long letter to several close people, letting each of them know about what she was going to do, and her other instructions.
And her apologies.
These letters would be sent to these people’s photon brains the moment she left.
Su Wan got into her spacecraft and returned to Commander Gu’s residence. Looking at every blade of grass and every tree at home, she said, "Vermilion Bird, I could leave you behind. If I fail along the way, there might not be a single hair of mine left..."
"That’s not possible, Master. I will follow by your side until you stop breathing, and then, if I get a chance to be recycled, I will be sent back to the storage," said Vermilion Bird.
Su Wan stood stunned, her eyes half-lowered, "But if I fail, or if I go to that place and can’t come back, you probably won’t have the chance to be recycled."
Vermilion Bird’s voice was always calm and composed, "White Tiger also might not have the chance to be recycled. Master, don’t overthink it. From the day I was bound to you, accompanying you in life and death has been my honor."
Vermilion Bird had no physical form.
Otherwise, Su Wan really wanted to give it a hug.
Before setting off to find Ajue, Su Wan didn’t forget to fill the space button with all sorts of items, like nutrient fluids, various medications, and some energy resources for mecha, et cetera.
"Ajue should have taken Azure Dragon with him. It’s been so long; Azure Dragon probably has no more energy."
Vermilion Bird replied, "Yes, it’s been a long time; White Tiger should also be running out of power. Unless they had supplies."
Thinking of the distant coordinates, Su Wan didn’t need to guess to know that Doris definitely wouldn’t have transferred Ajue to a safe place; that place must be terrible! There possibly couldn’t be any supplies!
To think of the worst, that place might not even have food!
Su Wan, recalling the desolate and horrific scene in her dreams, immediately hastened her actions.
Finally, everything was ready!
Su Wan put on the black combat uniform, donned various gear, and then stepped into the basement of her home.
Preparing for the ultra-long-distance space transfer!
