Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Parents Who Constantly Show Off Their Affection
"This matter is somewhat dangerous. However, if you can control this place, it is indeed very safe and suitable for growing fruits and vegetables. But if you want to find this place, you are not allowed to act on your own, I will accompany you,"
Even though the two had been married for many years, Gu Jue’s concern and care for Su Wan continued to grow with each passing day.
Su Wan said, "Mm, I also thought of this during today’s live stream, but for now I won’t rush into trying it. Besides, wasn’t that city lord imprisoned in the Interstellar Prison? I plan to go there and talk to him again."
"Mm, that’s okay. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"There’s no need for that, I can go see him myself. I’ve thought it over; this matter must be approached with caution, and there are many possibilities. For instance, even if I find that place, it might still require the Beastman’s spiritual power for energy support, in which case I can only abandon the place. Or, I find the place, and its environment is no longer like Ancient Earth and unsuitable for the growth of fruits and vegetables, I would also have to give up. Also, I might simply be unable to open this space anymore."
Su Wan was always calm and composed when handling matters, considering every possibility, which allowed Gu Jue to finally feel at ease.
In today’s live stream, Su Wan only prepared dishes for the children, so the household robot made a few more dishes, and in the end, the family of five sat together and finished their meal.
They talked again about the Probationary Commander examination.
The two had a natural understanding between them; no matter the topic, they communicated telepathically, one speaking a sentence, and the other knowing exactly what to say next.
This excessive understanding often led them to share a smile over a meal.
Little Gu Chen helplessly watched as his parents, who were constantly showering each other with affection, then turned to pass his sister Xiaoyan’s favorite prawns to her.
As for Little Gu Yu, well, this kid was quite capable of fending for himself now. He also wanted to serve his sister some food, but since he couldn’t outpace his big brother and his fingers were a bit short, he could only eat his own meal.
The live stream where Su Wan was with her children was quickly shared in several places. A youth with an expression neither sad nor happy sat in front of the screen, watching the child in the live stream.
The Insect God knew, that was Xiaoyan.
Although he had spent most of the day with the little girl, being by her side was the most comfortable, and half a day was simply not enough for the Insect God.
Although he didn’t see the girl’s face on the live stream, which was a bit regrettable, the Insect God knew that Su Wan was protecting Xiaoyan.
The Insect God was originally very wary of Su Wan and Gu Jue; during the time they stayed on the Insect Nest planet, they caused chaos.
However, the two of them had one great quality – they both adored Xiaoyan.
So, the Insect God immediately stopped viewing them as adversaries. They were Xiaoyan’s parents, and they cared for and spoilt Xiaoyan so much. For the very young Xiaoyan, who harbored many secrets, this was very good.
They would protect the current Xiaoyan very well.
After the live stream ended, the Insect God stood up, signaling someone to summon Doris.
In the Insectoid Base, of course, the Insect God’s word was law, his commands unchallenged by any Insectoid.
It was only Doris who initially refused to submit, but she was quickly put in her place.
As for the other Beastmen, they didn’t dare disobey either; after all, the Insect God was too powerful.
Doris came over obediently, and the Insect God said indifferently, "Prepare the next batch of Insectoids for transfer."
"My Lord, my superpowers have not fully recovered yet."
"No matter, even if your superpowers are depleted, I can save you."
"..."
Doris had previously thought that the Insect God had spared her, but later she realized that the Insect God had merely used her as a means of transportation!
Still, Doris didn’t understand why, since the Insect God had brought so many Insectoids and Insect Beasts to this universe, It hadn’t yet tried to dominate the universe.
Could it be that It was biding Its time, accumulating strength?
In this period, Su Man had once again become very low-key, for no other reason than that she was pregnant again.
Having previously given birth to an ugly Insectoid son for Xi Le, Su Man herself didn’t want to look at him a second time, so she let Xi Le hand him over to other Insectoids to raise.
And this time, she was pregnant again, hoping she could give birth to a beautiful daughter!
The daughter of Su Wan was very beautiful, but unfortunately, she was a purebred human. But a woman, if she’s beautiful and delicate, naturally stimulates a man’s protective instincts!
Touching her belly, a hint of madness flickered in Su Man’s eyes, "My daughter, you must be a beautiful girl, for I have lost too much to Su Wan. I hope you can help your mother win some glory!"
**
On Landis Star, at the military department.
The list of probationary commanders had finally been released, and Su Wan became the probationary commander of the Ninth Starship Fleet of Landis Star. These probationary commanders had to complete a three-year mission before another assessment, after which the qualified ones would be promoted to official commanders.
Pandora became the probationary commander of the Tenth Starship Fleet.
Sheng An was appointed the former captain of Squad Nine of the Seventh Starship Fleet of the Royal Star Fleet, though the members of the squad could voluntarily join other starship fleets.
This was, in effect, an integration of the entire Star Warrior force.
However, most people still remained with the Royal Star Fleet, as there were more prospects for advancement there. Only Luo Jina and Alex, the couple, followed Su Wan to her starship fleet.
Before Squad Nine officially disbanded, Su Wan booked a private room at the Su Family restaurant to invite her former comrades for a meal.
The medics Star Warrior, Qiao, lamented, "In the future, we won’t be able to continue enjoying the good life with Captain Su anymore!"
Sheng An said speechlessly, "Are you implying that I’m a miser and won’t take you out to eat?"
Qiao, "No, no, absolutely not!"
Su Wan, smiling on the side, said, "All of you, whenever you come to eat at any branch of the Su Family restaurant in the future, just swipe your personal brain-computer, and you’ll get a 50% discount. I’ve already had the managers of each branch input the information into the system."
"Oh yeah! Long live Captain Su!"
"No, it’s Long live Commander Su!"
Everyone was happy for Su Wan and Pandora, and at the same time, they all encouraged Sheng An and Bai Qi to keep up their efforts for the next assessment.
Years of fighting side by side had made them exceptionally trustworthy partners, yet only Lin Yu sat in a corner, excessively silent.
He hadn’t wanted to come today since he had already been transferred to work at the Security Bureau, but he couldn’t resist the enthusiastic invitation of people like Alex and Qiao, and so he had joined them for Squad Nine’s farewell meal.
Looking at the increasingly dazzling Su Wan, Lin Yu was clear in his understanding that he simply wasn’t worthy of her. Even if she hadn’t married Commander Gu, she would never be someone he could match.
After the meal, Su Wan still had to go to the manager’s office to take care of some things, while the others dispersed.
Sheng An walked up to Lin Yu, lowered his voice, and said, "Let go completely."
