Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Little Gu Chen’s Wish
"Universe Alliance."
"What?"
Su Wan was both shocked and speechless, "Are they insane? If it weren’t for you leading them, they would never have been able to defeat Lucifer and Doris. How could they turn around now and want to harm Xiaochen?"
Gu Jue pressed his wife’s shoulders, "They fear Landis, and Xiaochen is the next king."
Usually, Su Wan was very gentle, but at this moment, she clenched her fists and scoffed coldly, "If they’re so capable, why don’t they dare come directly at you and Zilan? They directly attack a child who’s not even ten? How capable indeed!"
"Wanwan, don’t be angry, I will handle this properly. You have exams coming up; you can’t be distracted."
Su Wan understood, but the thought of those people wanting to harm Xiaochen filled her with rage!
Gu Jue was truly worried about his wife, so he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead, "Wanwan, Xiaochen might face such situations in the future. The child’s performance today was especially good, very calm throughout. The moment the incident happened, I contacted him, and he coolly described the condition of the aircraft and his observations, analysis, and plans."
"He calculated how long the aircraft would crash, which area it would fall into. He promptly hid in the escape pod and used his Thunder Superpower to protect himself, so when the aircraft crashed, he could remain unscathed."
"Wanwan, our Xiaochen is truly exceptional."
"Mhm."
Su Wan finally calmed down. She realized she had indeed been overly excited, but she also understood immediately that she might not have been this agitated over her own matters. But this involved her child.
Although Xiaochen was grown up and super capable, super outstanding, in Su Wan’s heart, he was still just a child.
No matter how old or capable a child is, in the eyes of their parents, they are ultimately just children.
But Su Wan had calmed down and wouldn’t think of using Instant Teleportation to deal with the culprit, she still planned to spend more time with her son.
Once Gu Jue went to the study, Su Wan changed out of her military uniform and into soft home clothes, intending to check on the children. She found that the two youngest were snuggled up next to Little Gu Chen.
The big brother was telling a story to his younger siblings.
"Once upon a time, there was a child who always told lies, always crying wolf, and after a few times, the neighbors started to not believe what he said. Until one day, a wolf really came!"
Little Gu Yu suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his brother, "Brother, is the wolf that came like you?"
Gu Chen with a fierce look: "... No, it’s not! Don’t interrupt me!"
"Oh."
Gu Chen cleared his throat and continued, "This wolf came to the boy and said it wanted to eat him, and the little boy asked in confusion, ’I don’t taste good, why do you want to eat me?’"
"Brother, do you eat children?"
Little Gu Chen was about to get angry, but when he heard it was his sister Xiaoyan’s voice, he forcefully suppressed his anger.
He said patiently, "Xiaoyan, don’t be afraid, brother doesn’t eat children."
"Then do you eat little fish?" Little Gu Yu couldn’t help asking.
Gu Chen: "..."
Su Wan’s lips twitched at the corner listening nearby, and she almost laughed out loud. Well, after all, he is her own flesh and blood; she had to give him that much face, so she managed to control her ever-rising smile.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyan, your brother is tired today, so you should both go back to your room and rest early."
"Okay."
The kids were very sensible. Xiaoyu even took the initiative to take his little sister’s hand and walked her back to their room. Su Wan turned her head to her eldest son, who hadn’t been very successful at storytelling, and smiled, "Xiaochen, I heard from your dad that you performed really well today and stayed calm throughout."
"My dad praised me? Hey, why didn’t he praise me to my face?" Little Gu Chen said, but his lips quirked up in absolute delight.
He is still a child, indeed.
Although on the surface, Little Gu Chen didn’t seem very close to his dad, Gu Jue, Su Wan actually knew that his dad, Gu Jue, was his idol.
Smiling, Su Wan said, "Your dad is worried that if he praises you to your face, you’ll become proud. Xiaochen, will you be scared when you encounter such situations in the future?"
"Scared? If I were scared, I wouldn’t go for the position of king next time." The handsome boy with wolf ears narrowed his eyes and said, "Them attacking me means they’re afraid of me. And that’s exactly why I have to work hard to become stronger and better. Someday, I’ll eliminate them all!"
Everyone has a temper, and Little Gu Chen was no exception. If your enemies are trying to kill you and you’re just smiling at them, then you’re a fool!
Su Wan didn’t hope for her child to become submissive or overkind. Having a clear sense of love and hate was good, but after all, he was still a child, carrying so much at such a young age.
Others might not feel it, but as a mother, Su Wan felt deeply heartbroken for her child.
Little Gu Chen was very intelligent and noticed the worry in his mother’s eyes. He comforted Su Wan in return, "Mom, I chose this path myself. I’m fully aware of all its pros and cons, hardships, and everything. Originally, Dad and cousin Zilan made it all clear to me. There are many dangers in our universe, and who knows how many more terrible threats will emerge in the future. Only by standing at the very top and becoming the most powerful person can I protect you, my sister, and any family member I want to shield."
After hearing this, Su Wan couldn’t say anymore. She hugged her son tightly.
Gu Jue and Little Gu Chen told Su Wan not to worry about the matter anymore, so she focused on preparing for the second exam that was about to start. Even her son understood that getting stronger was the only way to protect those he cared about. This motivated Su Wan to work even harder.
The second exam began.
Su Wan lay down in the virtual combat pod, connected her brain-computer interface with the pod, and then closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting in the pilot’s seat. This was the main control room. Surprisingly, in the vast control room, there was only Su Wan.
This must be the virtual exam venue. And as the commander of this starship, where were all her subordinates?
It was absolutely impossible that there were no soldiers at all; such a scenario would not properly test a commander’s individual capabilities.
Su Wan confirmed that the starship was stationed at the star port, presumably on standby, and no missions were coming through any channels.
Su Wan: "Vermilion Bird, have you connected to the signal of this virtual world?"
Vermilion Bird: "Connection established. Please inform directly if you need anything."
"Good."
Having done all this, Su Wan got up and walked out. With the highly sensitive hearing of an advanced Beastman, she quickly determined where the system had allocated all her ’Star Warrior’ subordinates.
They were all in the dining hall!
