Chapter 530: Chapter 530: The Wife Who Should Be Doted on in the Palm of His Hand
Gu Jue is the Chief Commander.
So, he certainly knows a lot more.
Su Wan wasn’t very tired, either. Her physical endurance had improved so much over the past few years that, since evolving into a Mermaid Beastman, her stamina had become incredibly strong.
What she was now concerned about was something else.
Gu Jue took her to his private rest room. Since they were preparing for the exam today, he hadn’t brought their daughter Xiaoyan along, so it was just the two of them in the rest room.
Gu Jue went to the bar and poured a glass of warm water for his wife, handing it to her, "Do you want to know if those people really exist?"
"Yes!"
"Some of them are virtual, while others are edited images from years past, incorporated into the background you were tested against."
Clutching the water glass, Su Wan said, "I had guessed as much since their condition suggested they were veterans from many years ago, and at that time, the Universe didn’t have Insectoids."
That answer was within Su Wan’s expectations, yet her mood still fell.
Gu Jue stretched out his hand and wrapped it around her shoulders.
Su Wan said softly, "The moment before I completed the mission, five captains asked me whether I could help avenge Commander Chen... Ajue, can I re-enter that virtual examination room?"
Gu Jue shook his head, "It was randomly generated, just a scenario created for your exams."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan’s mood sank further.
In truth, she really wanted to help those five captains, to avenge Commander Chen together.
With a sigh, Su Wan said, "If I become a commander someday and my subordinates treat me the way they did Commander Chen, I think every time I go out on a mission, I would be filled with strength."
"Commander Chen certainly existed in history."
"What?"
Gu Jue looked at his wife, whose eyes had brightened again, and instructed White Tiger, "Pull up Du Chen’s file."
"Yes."
After reviewing the files on the screen, Su Wan discovered that the prototype for Commander Chen from the virtual exam was Du Chen, a Goat Beastman with a not particularly high Beast Transformation Level. However, he was very smart, and most importantly, he had a charismatic personality that could win over anyone.
Gu Jue said, "Wanwan, there’s no need to dwell on avenging him. His death wasn’t caused by the Insectoids. He and Adolf were classmates at the military academy, and there were no Insectoids at the time. He died trying to save others, piloting a spaceship alone into a black hole, and he never returned."
After reading Du Chen’s file, Su Wan felt very heavy-hearted.
She leaned into Gu Jue’s embrace and whispered, "He was an exceptional commander."
Gu Jue nodded, "Right, Wanwan, you too must persevere. You will also become an exceptional commander one day."
Su Wan shook her head, "Ajue, I know I actually still have many shortcomings, and because I have so many things to do, I end up being busy all the time, to the point where it seems like I’m not doing anything particularly well."
"Not at all."
"No, keep listening to me. I just want to try hard, to constantly improve. Whether it’s running the Su Family restaurant, working hard in the military department, or now taking the Probationary Commander’s exam."
"I just want to become better, so that I can protect the family and friends I care about. Someday, I don’t want to be a burden to you or to Xiaochen. Ajue, do you understand what I’m saying?"
Su Wan knew that she was far from being as outstanding as Commander Du Chen.
But she remained determined to do her best in everything she undertook.
Since she was going to do it, she would give it her all, without being overly concerned with the outcome.
Gu Jue tightened his embrace around her, thinking that if Wanwan hadn’t married him, she probably wouldn’t have faced so many dangers and wouldn’t need to work so hard.
Clearly, she was meant to be the cherished, sweet wife he protected behind him, pampered in the palm of his hand.
"Wanwan, I understand everything," he said.
So, completely dominating the universe with Landis Star might just give his family an eternal and safe haven.
**
The friction between Landis Star and the Universe Alliance escalated, and news of Landis Star’s accelerated expansion of its Starship Fleet, along with the Universe Alliance’s attempts to assassinate Gu Jue’s son, Gu Chen, quickly became known to others.
After seeing the news, Doris frowned and said, "Everything is still heading towards the direction I foresaw all those years ago."
The Insect God looked over.
Playing with her golden curls, Doris said, "Back then, I used my spatial superpower to travel to the future. It was just my soul that traversed, attaching itself to a robot. Then I saw... Su Wan’s children, dominating the entire universe!"
That’s why, for all these years, Doris had been willing to expend her superpowers to send people to kill Su Wan.
It’s just a pity that every attempt had failed!
The silver-haired youth sitting on the black sofa slightly looked up, "Su Wan’s children?"
"Yes, but I’m not sure which one because all of her children will be outstanding in the future! And frustratingly, they have a particularly good relationship with each other! It might even be several of them teaming up to dominate the entire universe!"
That’s why Doris wanted to strangle the young Su Wan in the cradle.
The handsome Insect God suddenly gave a slight smile.
Xiaoyan is also Su Wan’s child.
Well, it’s unknown whether Xiaoyan likes the idea of dominating the universe or not.
If she likes it, he wouldn’t mind bringing the Insect Clan to help her when the time comes...
Landis Star, main city, Commander Gu’s residence.
Since his brother had a near miss a few days ago, he could rest at home these days. However, Little Gu Chen didn’t rest and instead stayed by his sister Xiaoyan’s side.
Su Wan had exams, and these days it was not convenient for her to take care of Xiaoyan.
Fortunately, the security system at home was extremely high, not even a bug could fly in. With a full complement of household robots, it ended up being just the three children at home.
After playing with her two brothers for a day, Xiaoyan got a bit tired, so she took a long nap in the afternoon.
Then, the little princess had a nightmare!
Xiaoyan missed Brother Little Mushroom very much, so in her dream, she returned to that room on the spaceship.
Though it was a strange place, Xiaoyan was not afraid; she was waiting for Brother Little Mushroom to come back with something delicious.
But after a long wait and not seeing Brother Little Mushroom return, she bravely stepped out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Brother Little Mushroom, holding a plate covered with a lid.
Xiaoyan asked, "Brother Little Mushroom, is this for me?"
"Yes."
She eagerly lifted the metal lid, only to see a white mushroom as big as a palm, with an insect with a face on it, lying on top!
Xiaoyan: "..."
And just at that moment, the insect even started speaking, asking her seriously, "Xiaoyan, do you like the idea of dominating the universe?"
Xiaoyan burst into tears with a loud cry!
