Chapter 535: Chapter 535: I’ll come to you whenever you miss me
With the conclusion of the probationary commander exam on Landis Star, recruitment of Interstellar Warriors commenced, along with the manufacturing of various starships and weaponized mechas.
The military strength of Landis Star visibly surged in power.
Witnessing the growing power of Landis Star, the Universe Alliance was in a hurry, for they had intended to weaken the opposite side, but after several sneaky attempts, they ended up losing both their agents and their troops.
Not to mention, they had also heard rumors that the number of Insectoids in the universe seemed to be increasing.
Especially, the thought of that young Insectoid whose strength surpassed even Doris, and who had yet to make a move, made everyone even more uneasy.
Odlande said gloomily, "Are we just going to sit back and watch Landis Star grow stronger day by day? Don’t we have any strategies left?"
Ken muttered from the side, "What strategy could there be? We can’t defeat them in battle, and the Insectoids won’t agree to ally with us. If you ask me, we should just form an alliance with the Universe Alliance and find some pretext to declare war on Landis Star!"
Another person sneered, "Declare war directly? Are you going to lead the vanguard and attack Landis Star?"
The moment Ken thought of Gu Jue’s terrifying combat strength, he immediately chickened out, muttering, "With so many people, why should our planet be the one to charge ahead?"
Ji Rui listened to their conversation and a cold sneer flickered in his heart; nothing but useless cowards. But, it was precisely because of this that he was willing to form an alliance with them.
After all, by allying with these fools, it would be easier for him to execute his next move once they defeated Landis Star.
But for now, he had to use these fools to declare war on Landis Star.
Suddenly, Ji Rui spoke up, "The Insectoids are proud and unwilling to cooperate with us, so we can try to ally with Landis Star."
A few people looked at him in shock, "Are you insane?"
"Exactly, we are discussing how to deal with Landis Star, and you’re talking about allying with them? Are you planning to defect to the Gu Family?"
Ji Rui shook his head, "Of course not. Landis Star and the Gu Family are our common enemies. Have you forgotten what happened before? It was Gu Jue who led the Alliance Army to defeat the Star Thief, to defeat Doris and her group of Insectoids."
"But during that process, Landis Star also suffered a loss of strength. In time, we can repeat the same strategy, provoking a conflict between Landis Star and the Insectoids while the Universe Alliance Army attacks the Insectoids."
Odlande’s eyes lit up instantly, "Then, can we just reap the benefits of their conflict?"
Like, taking the opportunity to kill Gu Jue and wipe out the main force of their Royal Star Fleet?
The few exchanged glances, seeing the gleam of joy in each other’s eyes.
However, they had agreed to keep this matter a secret, it must not be leaked to Yuanyi and the other planets sympathetic to Landis Star!
Those fools were still planning to be on good terms with Landis Star. When the time came, they too would be caught in this trap!
The group quickly finalized their plan and even obtained the coordinates of some Insectoid bases through special means, intending to offer these as a token of feigned allegiance to the people from Landis Star.
In the end, it was still Ji Rui and Odlande who represented the delegation to meet with Gu Zilan and Gu Jue on Landis Star.
At Landis Star, the Commander’s residence of the Gu Family.
Lately, Little Gu Yan, having become adept at using her superpower, had been able to go anywhere in the entire residence. However, Su Wan had told her daughter not to let anyone other than the family know about her abilities for the time being.
Plantmen without spiritual power possessing superpowers would likely pique the interest of the Universe Alliance, who might wish to study the child once again.
Little Yan was very obedient to her mother. Apart from her family, only Brother Little Mushroom knew about her ability.
But then, Brother Little Mushroom was family, after all.
So she didn’t tell anyone else about her secret ability to change shapes.
It’s just that Mommy and Daddy are both very busy, Big Brother is also very busy, and the one who spends the most time with her each day is Little Brother, who happens to love swimming... Actually, Xiaoyan also really likes water, she enjoys the water and the sunshine.
In the yard of their new home, there was a huge swimming pool. When Little Brother swam in it, Xiaoyan would sit on the lounge chair beside it, munching on the little cookies Mommy made by hand and the fruit cut by the household robot, keeping Little Brother company while basking in the sun.
"I wonder what Brother Little Mushroom is doing these days?"
The little girl missed Brother Little Mushroom a bit, then she hopped off the lounge chair and said to Little Brother who was swimming back and forth, "Brother, I’m going back to my room to take a nap."
"Oh, you’re sleeping again, will you be able to sleep tonight?"
"I will."
Even though Little Gu Yu was the same age as his sister, when Mom, Dad, and Big Brother were not around, he was the eldest, and it was his responsibility to protect his sister!
So he quickly climbed out of the pool, and after transforming to develop legs and getting onto the shore, the little guy said in a babyish voice, "Then I’ll walk you back to your room!"
Xiaoyan: "No need, no need, I’ll zoom back in a flash."
After she said that, she really did vanish with a zoom.
Little Gu Yu was still worried, so he trotted over to his sister’s room with his little short legs, only to find that his sister had indeed gone back, and was already opening her small blanket, getting ready to sleep.
Only then did he feel relieved. However, he still said, "Xiaoyan, do you want brother to tell you a story?"
"No need!"
The stories told by Big Brother are weird and strange, and the stories told by Little Brother... are questionable whether they even count as stories.
Anyway, every time Xiaoyan listened to them before going to sleep, she would end up more awake!
In the end, Little Gu Yu still left reluctantly and made sure to close the door behind him for his sister.
Only after Xiaoyan was sure that Little Gu Yu had truly left did she check to make sure the little dress she was wearing today was very pretty. Then she activated her superpower.
But this time, her superpower was interrupted as if by something. When Xiaoyan opened her eyes, she realized she was still at home?
And just at that moment, a white figure appeared in front of her, the Insect God she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Xiaoyan became happy, "Brother Little Mushroom!"
The name Little Mushroom didn’t suit the Insect God at all, but as long as Xiaoyan called it out, no matter what it was, he was willing to listen.
His delicate and handsome features, which usually seemed neither sad nor happy, took on a warm tint as he said, "Mm, I happened to be passing by because I had something to do. Were you just about to come find me?"
"Mm!"
"Good girl, the place where I stay is very dangerous. Don’t come looking for me in the future. If you miss me, I’ll come to you."
Xiaoyan cocked her head, "But how will you know when I’m missing you?"
The Insect God smiled faintly, then opened his palm to reveal a beautiful little white mushroom lying there, identical to the one he had transformed into at the beginning.
He placed the little mushroom in Xiaoyan’s hand, "Next time you miss me, just talk to it, and I will know."
"Okay!"
