Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Cute Daughter
Agros took the team leader’s seat that Su Wan usually sat in, and said to everyone, "Su Wan has taken a long-term leave with me. During the following period, the matters of Squad Nine will be decided by Deputy Commander Pandora and Deputy Commander Sheng An. If the two of you are incapble of making decisions, then come to me."
"Additionally, Captain Zhuo Yun will be working with all of you here for some time."
Zhuo Yun was dumbfounded, his wings drooping.
He looked at Sheng An in surprise, "Sheng An, where did Su Wan go?"
Sitting in the distance, with swollen eyes from crying, Luo Jina bit her lip and said, "Xiaowan has gone to look for Commander Gu!"
As she spoke, her voice broke into sobs, torn between anger at Su Wan’s impulsive actions and heartbreak that left her struggling to breathe.
What if Xiaowan really doesn’t come back!
Alex wrapped his arms around his wife Luo Jina’s shoulders and said in a low voice, "Jina, didn’t Xiaowan tell you in her text? You are not allowed to cry. What if you get too agitated and cry the baby out?
Luo Jina turned and punched Alex, "If crying could bring Xiaowan back, I’d cry the baby out this very minute, do you believe that?"
Alex was truly at a loss whether to cry or laugh, and quickly tried to comfort her, "I believe it, I really do, but please, calm down. Didn’t we agree that after work today, we would go visit the Imperial Palace to see Xiaochen and the others?"
Remembering Su Wan’s children, Luo Jina bit her lip and finally managed to calm down.
Pandora remained eerily calm, as if nothing was out of the ordinary, but Sheng An noticed that her eyes were also slightly reddened.
The other male team members were much more silent than usual.
Especially Lin Yu... Sheng An saw that Lin Yu’s gaze was vacant as he sat there staring out the window, motionless for a long time.
Suddenly, a cup of hot milk was brought before Sheng An. She lifted her head to see Zhuo Yun’s handsome face and his signature smile.
Zhuo Yun said gently, "Commander Gu is a War God, and Su Wan is such a good person. Their love for each other is so sincere, so we don’t need to be sad or worried. Let’s all wait together for their magnificent return!"
Zhuo Yun seemed to have never experienced anything unhappy from childhood; his smooth life fostered an especially sunny and cheerful disposition. That bright and radiant smile seemed to have a healing effect.
Sheng An gripped the mug tightly, feeling its warm touch.
She nodded forcefully, "You’re right, they’re such good people, they’re sure to come back safely!"
"Yes."
**
On an unnamed planet, near the Insect Nest.
Su Wan turned over in Gu Jue’s arms, her whole body exuding laziness. She stretched out her hand to wrap around Gu Jue’s neck, snuggling into his embrace.
"Ajue, the time cycles on this planet seem different from ours."
"Yes, the cycles of matter here are different. But for a Beastman living here, there’s no pressure at all."
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you something important!" Su Wan suddenly sat up. Because she moved too quickly, her forehead smashed into Gu Jue’s chin.
Her eyes brimming with tears from the impact, Gu Jue quickly reached out to rub her forehead. "What is it that’s so urgent?"
Su Wan said somewhat sheepishly, "Actually, when I was fighting the Insectoids earlier, I wanted to tell you, but then your Manic-Depressive Period came... and it made me forget!"
Gu Jue gently kissed the top of her head where she had been hit, "Nothing is more important than you."
Su Wan: "This, actually is quite important. The Mermaid Eggs have finally hatched. There are two children, the boy has a golden fishtail, a Mermaid Beastman, and the girl... she’s a Plantman."
Gu Jue unusually froze for a few seconds and directly skipped over his golden-tailed little son, a bit puzzled, he said, "Plantman?"
Su Wan nodded, "It should be the influence of Little Mushroom, but she also possesses spatial superpower, even stronger than mine. I had always been fixing your coordinates but never found the most accurate address, but after Xiaoyan was born, she gave me a Little Mushroom. When her little fleshy hand was in my palm, I suddenly sensed the exact coordinates of the mushroom over here!"
In the depths of Gu Jue’s eyes, tenderness filled.
He kissed the back of Su Wan’s hand, "Wanwan, thank you for giving me such a cute daughter!"
Su Wan: "I specially made a projection video for the babies, wait a moment, I’ll show you the projection stored in the lightbrain!"
"Sure."
The couple snuggled up together, watching the projection video of the two cute babies. Of course, Gu Jue only glanced at his son Little Gu Yu to make sure he was healthy and with all limbs intact, then all his attention fell on his daughter Xiaoyan.
The little girl had big eyes, red lips, tender white skin, and just looking at her made one want to pinch her cheeks.
Most importantly, Xiaoyan resembled Su Wan in many ways. Gu Jue hugged his wife tighter, thanking her again for giving birth to such a pretty and cute daughter.
But then in the next moment, the Xiaoyan in the video apparently got startled by something and with a ’poof’, a white mushroom sprouted on her head!
The white mushroom seemed to be scared as well, rolling off her head and tumbling a few times on the ground!
Gu Jue: "..."
Su Wan hurriedly said, "I don’t know if this is a Plantman trait, but Xiaoyan grows mushrooms when she is nervous and scared. She always lacks a sense of security, right from the moment she was born, she was hiding behind Little Gu Yu."
She suddenly thought of something, and her expression became very serious.
Su Wan said, "Xiaoyan is the first Plantman in the entire Universe, and right now this matter is being kept secret by Zilan, Ouyang Qing, and others. They have announced that among the two children, one is a Mermaid Beastman and the other is a pure human."
"But this can’t be hidden for too long as the children grow up."
"Additionally... because of your accident and you couldn’t be found, some people within the Universe Alliance are getting restless, and they want to become the Chief Commander of the Empire Planet."
Gu Jue Looking at the lovely soft baby girl in the projection video, he said, "Even though many have been purged time and again, desires in the depths of one’s heart always tend to swell invisibly."
"Yes, when there was no opportunity, you and Zilan were handling both the literary and military affairs, and they dared not do anything. But now, they think you won’t come back, so they’re starting to get impatient."
They coveted the position of Chief Commander held by Gu Jue.
Therefore, they would continually investigate whether Xiaoyan was really a Plantman.
What annoying flies!
Su Wan lifted her head and said, "Ajue, help me restore my superpower, and once it’s back, we’ll return together!"
Those who were attempting to make their moves, they wouldn’t spare a single one!
Gu Jue: "Alright, what do you need me to do?"
Su Wan: "I got a method to train superpower from Teacher Lan Yu, but it has to be combined with combat to increase my spiritual power."
Gu Jue: "Combat is easy, you’ll have many, many opponents. They’re all different sorts, and definetely can greatly enhance your spiritual power."
Su Wan cast a glance at Commander Gu.
She instantly thought of it.
The Insect Nest that continuously produced various Insect Beasts and Insectoids!
