Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Preparation for Departure
Lan Rui was, of course, extremely happy. She had grown weary of staying at the medical center, and once Su Yun had completed her discharge procedures, he took her home.
However, Lan Rui’s family was very angry when they heard she had come out of the medical center.
Lan Ruochen said to Su Yun, "Don’t you know Xiaorui is about to give birth in a few days? Her physical condition is unstable, now is the time she should stay in the medical center!"
Lan Rui said discontentedly, "Brother, don’t yell at Ayun, okay? It was me who wanted him to take me back. It’s so stuffy in there, I was almost growing mold!"
Lan Ruochen was always at a loss with his sister, and anyway, when did fish grow hair? Fish would only get smelly and turn into salted fish!
At that moment, Su Yun spoke up, "It was my decision to move Xiaorui back home."
Lan Ruochen’s eyes instantly widened in displeasure, and Lan Rui stomped her foot, whispering, "Ayun, why are you saying nonsense? It was clearly me who..."
Su Yun took Lan Rui’s hand and said, "The head of the medical center wanted me to place a monitoring device near Xiaowan’s child, which I refused."
Lan Ruochen was clever, and he quickly made the connection with the recent online furor about the Plantmen, saying, "So because Queen Gu Zilan wouldn’t let them into the palace to examine the child, they wanted to rely on you to get the device close to the child?"
"Yes."
Lan Ruochen and Lan Rui exchanged glances, and they both understood why Su Yun insisted on transferring Lan Rui out of the medical center.
Now, both the medical center and the Beastman Research Center were particularly interested in Su Wan and Commander Gu’s child, and they were trying to do something behind their backs while the couple was away from the Empire Main Star.
How would such a small child fare, brought into the Beastman Research Center while their parents were away?
Lan Ruochen said, "It’s fine if you don’t continue to stay at the hospital, but I’ll trouble Yin Yue to look after Xiaorui for a few days later. Let us know if you need anything."
Su Wan was a descendant of Her Majesty Queen Gaia of the Mermaids, so they must protect Su Wan’s child with all their might!
Su Yun nodded.
While the Empire Main Star was embroiled in overt and covert struggles and turmoil, Su Wan and Gu Jue were still near the Nameless Star Insect Nest, spending their days fighting the Insect Clan, eating Insect Beasts, or simply soaking their tails.
What was a desolate place had somehow taken on the feel of a honeymoon for the two of them.
Su Wan remarked, "If our living place wasn’t so shabby, and if there were a kitchen suitable for making delicacies, it could be a perfect holiday."
No work, no kids to watch, just spending time with the one you love day and night.
Gu Jue wrapped his arms around her, "Once this is over, I’ll take you to the beautiful places in the Universe for a vacation."
"Great, I also want to see the cosmic fireworks from back then!"
"Sure."
Vacation plans had to wait, as they knew there was a mountain of issues to deal with on the Empire Main Star, and their children were still young. They had their own responsibilities, so they had to hurry back.
It was at this moment that the ground suddenly shook. Gu Jue and Su Wan immediately lost their smiles and stood up alertly.
Su Wan murmured, "Is this an earthquake? It seems to be coming from the direction of the Insect Nest."
Gu Jue: "I’ll go check it out."
Su Wan: "Let’s go together."
Now that there were no more Insect Clan members on the planet who could harm them, Gu Jue thought for a moment and didn’t refuse. He took his delicate wife with him to the abnormal Insect Nest.
The tremors were indeed emanating from the Insect Nest, but instead of scattering in every direction, nearly all the insects knelt on the ground, their heads touching the earth.
These members of the Insect Clan were no longer concerned with attacking, or even afraid of Gu Jue and his group; it seemed as if they were worshipping something.
Su Wan saw a female Insectoid she recognized among the swarm and asked in a low voice, "What’s happening to you?"
The female Insectoid’s compound eyes appeared a bit vacant, "I don’t know either, but my legs are weak, all eight legs are weak!"
Apart from Su Wan and Gu Jue, it seemed that all other creatures present were feeling a vague sense of fear and reverence towards something.
The two didn’t stay there for too long and soon left the area to return to their tent by the lake.
After a moment of silence, Su Wan said, "Ajue, is it possible that the Insect Clan’s so-called Insect God is about to be born?"
Gu Jue, "That’s very likely."
"But my superpower hasn’t recovered yet, I can’t take you back with me."
Just how much trouble had Doris brought them before, and now with the emergence of an Insect God... would it bring them even more trouble?
Gu Jue soothingly pulled his wife into his embrace, "Wanwan, don’t worry, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there. Moreover, their Insect God probably won’t be born so easily."
Su Wan thought about it and agreed, if it were that simple, wouldn’t all the planets in the universe have Insect Clans by now?
Indeed, their guess wasn’t wrong. The tremors continued for over half an hour before calming down. The insects went about their business as if nothing had happened.
However, a few days later, the situation recurred, happening again and again in cycles.
Su Wan trained even harder to enhance her spiritual power and superpower, hoping to leave this dreadful place with Ajue before the Insect God fully emerged!
As time trickled by, the supplies brought by Su Wan’s Space Button began to dwindle, and she felt her superpower was almost fully restored.
But just at that moment, the ground trembled violently once again, this time much stronger than all the previous occurrences combined.
Su Wan grabbed Gu Jue’s hand, "Ajue, shall we leave now?"
Gu Jue, "Didn’t you say your superpower was almost there?"
"But I have this feeling that this time is different, that creature might really be about to emerge!"
Just as she finished speaking, the trembling earth suddenly settled, and then all of the Insect Clan members burst into a fervent, intense cheer.
Su Wan immediately said to Gu Jue, "Ajue, let’s go!"
Not knowing whether this Insect God was benevolent or malevolent, they preferred to avoid conflict given their different species.
Once Gu Jue was certain there was no issue with the superpower, he nodded in agreement.
Su Wan quickly packed up the belongings from inside the tent and placed them into the Space Button. She noticed the small transparent box where Gu Jue kept the white mushrooms, where Little Mushroom was now crouching and playing.
Su Wan, "If you don’t come back, I’ll have to stuff you into the Space Button."
The Little Mushroom lying in the transparent box twisted around, and Su Wan, resigned, turned away to pack other items, not noticing a streak of silver light entering the box containing Little Mushroom.
Above Little Mushroom’s head, a spore began to slowly float up?
