Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Ajue, Here I Come
Unknown Bright Universe, unnamed star system.
Insect Nest.
Gu Jue didn’t know how long he had been there, because Azure Dragon had run out of energy, and White Tiger was also out of power; they had both entered a hibernation state.
There were no constants like stars or planets to help him keep track of time here, and he had to be on guard against the constantly respawning Insect Beasts and Insectoids.
He didn’t know how many had respawned.
Another woman approached Gu Jue, with an ordinary appearance—a very common kind of pretty woman.
"Actually, we are all very curious as to why you were thrown here. But we all acknowledge that you are indeed very strong," said the pretty woman, a deep admiration and longing in her eyes.
Gu Jue was sitting on a broken slate, holding a dagger, carving something on a palm-sized stone slate.
The woman asked curiously, "What are you drawing?"
"My wife."
The woman said with a smile, "With such high combat power and strong genes, it’s not surprising that you have a wife. Has she had children for you?"
Gu Jue thought of Xiaochen, who always tried to fight him for Wanwan, and the corners of his bearded lips lifted slightly.
"Mm."
The woman said, "Then her genes must also be good. But it’s a pity that you can’t leave this place. Man, do you want to have a child with me?"
Gu Jue’s hand that was holding the carving knife paused for a moment and then continued to carve Su Wan’s portrait onto the stone slate.
He said indifferently, "If you don’t want to die, get lost!"
The woman was quite patient, however. "I’m not here to pick a fight with you," she said. "I can’t beat you anyway, unless a Insect God is born on our side of the Insect Nest. Otherwise, no one can beat you."
Gu Jue remained concise in his words, "Get lost!"
The woman was a bit frustrated but didn’t want to give up; she couldn’t force him, as she couldn’t defeat this man.
So she just stood there... at a safe distance. As long as she didn’t cross that line, the other person wouldn’t consider it a provocation.
Just at that moment, the woman lifted her head and saw another woman walking towards them.
She had long golden hair and exceptionally beautiful features. It was as if she had seen her somewhere before... Oh, right, didn’t this woman look just like the one the man had been carving on the slate?
The Insectoid woman folded her arms and said, "Transforming into the appearance of his wife is useless. The last one who tried that was killed by him."
Su Wan was startled.
She was actually quite exhausted. From a distance, she saw a man sitting with his back to her, who looked a lot like Ajue!
But she saw another woman walk up to the man. They exchanged a few words, and then the woman was driven away, grumbling to herself alone.
Su Wan bit the tip of her tongue, allowing her superpower-depleted self to retain a shred of clarity.
She asked, "What do you mean?"
The Insectoid woman snorted coldly, "It means waiting in line. Don’t you know there’s an order to these things? I was here before you! Too bad he doesn’t like me, otherwise I’d be willing to bear him a hundred thousand children!"
Su Wan: "..."
Su Wan ignored the woman and continued to walk slowly towards Gu Jue.
But she was cautious, considering the Insectoid woman’s words. Had someone else pretended to be her to seduce Ajue before?
Or could it be that the man before her isn’t really Ajue?
Actually, Su Wan ought to find a safe place right now to rest and recover her superpower, but just after waking up, she almost got killed by an insectoid.
There are particularly many insectoids here!
Watching Su Wan walk towards the man, the insectoid woman became anxious. She quickly said, "He’s very fierce, you know, don’t get too close, he’ll twist your head off!"
Su Wan: "He won’t have the heart to."
The insectoid woman became frustrated, "Why, though? We’re all insects. What makes you so special that he treats you well? Let me tell you, it’s not going to work, pretending to be his wife is no..."
Before she could finish, Gu Jue, who was engrossed in etching on the stone slab, slowly lifted his head.
Su Wan’s eyes met his at that moment.
Because of his fall into this godforsaken place, Gu Jue had grown a beard on his chin, which made his delicate features less refined but added a masculine charm.
His black combat uniform was spotless, and his hair had grown a bit too long; he had tied it up casually, revealing his Adam’s apple.
Seeing that Gu Jue clenched the etching tool in his hand, Su Wan said softly, "Ajue, I’m here."
"Wan, Wanwan..."
"Mm, on nights without snuggling up to your big tail, I just can’t fall asleep. I suffer from insomnia."
Click. The etching tool in Gu Jue’s hand dropped to the ground! The furry canine ears atop his head sprang out in an instant!
Smelling the familiar scent in the air, Su Wan finally confirmed that the man before her was indeed her husband, whom she had missed day and night. She finally relaxed, and everything went black as she collapsed to the ground!
Vermilion Bird quickly shouted, "Master!"
But one person was even faster; Gu Jue had already rushed to Su Wan’s side, enclosing her in his arms!
A single tear rolled down the cheek of the handsome Commander and fell onto Su Wan’s face... Su Wan had already passed out due to overuse of her superpower.
Gu Jue held her tightly!
Meanwhile, the insectoid woman far off was dumbstruck in astonishment!
Damn it! Didn’t they say it was useless to pretend to be his wife? So why did it seem like this woman had succeeded?
If she transformed into his wife now, would it still be in time?
The insectoid woman tentatively took a few small steps towards them, and in the next moment, an ice spike almost hit her eighth foot!
Petrified, the woman swiftly reverted to her original form and scurried away on her eight legs!
Woo woo woo, it seemed she had lost her chance to bear ten thousand children for this outstanding man!
Over here, Gu Jue had carried Su Wan to a tent, which served as his makeshift dwelling during these days. Vermilion Bird, flapping its metallic little wings, said, "The space button is on the master. There are superpower stabilizers inside; administer it to the master. Oh, and the master brought a lot of Mecha energy and power supplies. White Tiger and the others have run out of power and energy, haven’t they?"
Gu Jue took the power and energy supplies from Su Wan’s body and asked Vermilion Bird to help distribute them to White Tiger and the others.
Then, he carefully retrieved the superpower stabilizers and administered them to Su Wan.
This time Su Wan had exhausted her superpower severely; she had been unconscious for seven full days and nights!
When she awoke, she saw White Tiger and Vermilion Bird dancing around her, especially White Tiger, whose electronic eyes were so excited they immediately welled up with tears like wide noodles!
"Woowoo, madam, you’ve finally arrived, I’ve missed you so much!"
Vermilion Bird swiftly kicked it aside, then anxiously asked, "Master, do you feel unwell anywhere else?"
Su Wan: "I just feel weak all over, but other than that, I’m okay. Where’s Ajue?"
