Chapter 506: Chapter 506: What to Do When Others Covet Your Daughter?
"Do I still have to report to you?"
"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant! What are your orders?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Man was utterly dumbfounded, too stunned to even care about her crooked nose, she gaped at her husband Xi Le, "Xi Le, why, why are you treating this child with such respect?"
"Kneel down immediately!" Xi Le said, "Because he is our God!"
Su Man: "..."
This starship belonged to the Insectoids, and they were flying toward their own planet. The Beastmen aboard the starship were also following Xi Le’s commands.
The Insect God longed for Xiaoyan, but at the moment, he had an important task that he must attend to.
**
Doris’s spatial superpower had not recovered to its peak, because Su Man’s body was just that of an ordinary purebred human, not even a Beastman.
But annoyingly, she couldn’t find a more suitable body.
After falling into slumber and sleeping for over thirty hours, Doris woke from her deep sleep. She habitually asked for control of Su Man’s body, and Su Man, as if stricken by something, wordlessly handed over control of her body.
Now they had returned to their home base star. This planet was nothing compared to their old base, but there was no choice; having been severely weakened by the Universe Alliance, their mere survival was already extraordinarily difficult.
Despite Doris’s high status here, it was somewhat diminished compared to the Insect Queen’s absolute rule. Doris contemplated that she needed to recover her superpower as quickly as possible, and suddenly she took an unorthodox approach.
Would her powers recover faster if she could devour some Space Ability Users’ superpower cores?
Or better yet, to seize the body of a Space Ability User!
Doris got up to look for Xi Le, intending to have him check how many Space Ability Users were in the universe, only to see Xi Le bowing and scraping to a little boy around seven or eight years old, showing utmost respect.
The chair swiveled around, and the silver-haired, silver-eyed youth, with hands crossed, said in an indifferent tone, "Doris, you killed the Insect Queen, seized her body, and then led my Insect Clan people here, sparking a war between the Insect Clan and the Beastmen. Tell me, do you deserve to die?"
Doris staggered back two steps, "You, who are you?"
The Insect God just quietly watched Doris.
Not being foolish, Doris, seeing the reverence the Insectoids had for this child, exclaimed in astonishment, "You are a newly born Insect God? But how did you get here?"
Although an Insect God is more formidable than an Insect Queen, He would still be very weak shortly after birth. Moreover, judging by the time since the Insect Queen’s birth, such a short period should not have given rise to another Insect God in the Insect Nest!
Doris’s expression gradually turned to terror!
An Insect God that can traverse time and space, a grown Insect God—she stood no chance of replacing Him at all!
The Insect God extended His hand, and Doris’s entire body lifted into the air, the next moment it was as if her neck was being strangled, and she began to struggle desperately.
Xi Le pursed his lips and remained silent.
Even though it was his wife’s body, not to say if the Insect God wanted to kill Doris, even if He wanted to kill Su Man, he had no objections, only obedience.
And just when Doris’s lips had turned blue, the Insect God released His hand, and she crashed to the ground.
The Insect God said, "You did one thing right, this cosmic environment is indeed much better than the Insect Nest."
Therefore, He would not kill Doris, at least, not for the time being.

On Landis Star, in the main city.
Gu Zilan sat in a chair, frowning as he said, "Those two starships, their crews are actually from the Universe Alliance. Do they attack our to-be-abandoned planet because they think there are secrets on it?"
Gu Jue: "The secrets of our Gu Family Imperial House have always been of great curiosity to them, but before we left, the Imperial Forbidden Grounds were already destroyed. They won’t find anything."
Gu Zilan nodded, "What these people actually covet more is Landis Star. It’s just that they don’t dare to directly snatch it. But the people left on the original planet..."
Gu Jue with half-closed eyes, "It was they who gave up on us first, not we on them."
The migration had been going on for two full years. During these years, those who persistently distrusted the Imperial Family and didn’t plan to follow... They had been given many chances; it was their own choice not to take them.
Gu Zilan just mentioned it in passing; he didn’t sympathize with those people. In fact, they had been instigating and causing trouble among the people all along, and some of them were outright lackeys of the calculating Universe Alliance!
Gu Zilan: "By the way, is Xiaoyan alright? What exactly does Doris intend to do with him? Why did she take Xiaoyan away?"
Gu Jue: "She probably wants to cause us some trouble. It just so happened that she saw Xiaoyan at the time, but she should also not dare to harm Xiaoyan. We are not going to completely annihilate the Insectoids now either."
Gu Zilan nodded, "It’s good that she didn’t harm Xiaoyan. Oh right, uncle, what do you think would happen if all those Insectoids from the place called Insect Nest that you visited before came to this universe?"
"I’m not sure, it depends on their purpose, whether they just want to find a comfortable cosmic environment to live in, or if they plan to plunder."
"Right, no matter what, we should still fortify our defenses tightly to prevent anyone from harming the people of Landis Star."
"Yes."
After discussing serious matters, Gu Zilan said with a bit of annoyance, "Recently, some nobles even asked me when Ruanruan plans to get married. What a joke, how old is Ruanruan! These shameless creatures!"
Even if Gu Ruanruan is not the next emperor of Landis Star, her status is still the most honored on the entire Landis Star.
Those nobles, lacking real power, sought to solidify their family’s status through marriage alliances, naturally setting their sights on Princess Gu Ruanruan.
Gu Jue put himself in their place for a moment. If a bunch of people were eyeing his Xiaoyan for marriage, he would definitely... kick those people into a black hole!
So, Gu Jue said with a look of vehemence in his eyes, "She’s so young, what marriage! Let those scheming scoundrels take a hike! If anyone still comes looking for trouble at this time, then strip them of their titles!"
Gu Zilan’s eyes immediately lit up, "I was thinking the same!"
He has only this one precious daughter. He feels that even at fifty years old, time is too short, let alone marrying her off so early!
Gu Jue’s mood had been fluctuating greatly all day, and at the center of those fluctuations was his precious Xiaoyan. Upon returning home, Su Wan had already brought the children back earlier.
Now that the three children were grown, of course, they each had their own rooms, although they were all on the same floor.
After settling the children, she came downstairs and saw Gu Jue, the great Commander, dressed in his immaculate military uniform and with a face full of wrath.
Su Wan was slightly startled, "Ajue, what happened, why are you so angry?"
