Chapter 543: Chapter 543: A Long-Absent Manic-Depressive Period
In the master bedroom, with its gentle orange light creating a cozy atmosphere, the similarly soft and comfortable bed was, however, empty.
Gu Jue’s brows knitted slightly as his hand, which had been unbuttoning his clothes, abruptly stopped.
The intuition of a Super Beastman allowed him to immediately determine that his wife must be in the bathroom. But it was so late, why was she still in there?
Watching Gu Jue stride towards the bathroom, on this side, White Tiger and Vermilion Bird quietly withdrew.
Folding his wings, perching on the shelf, White Tiger remarked, "After all is said and done, this is just a beauty trap."
Vermilion Bird: "Do you know why you couldn’t come up with it?"
White Tiger: "I did think of it, but Bai Ze was a bit quicker with his words."
Vermilion Bird: "It doesn’t have a mouth, and neither do you."
White Tiger: "..."
As if you have one!
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, the moment Gu Jue walked in, Su Wan immediately closed her eyes, with her long hair spread out and her huge golden tail gently splashing water.
Gu Jue’s pupils contracted, and, unable to help himself, his fuzzy ears popped out with a swoosh.
However, seeing that Su Wan’s skin was wrinkled from soaking, he slightly furrowed his brow, bent down, and directly picked up his ’sleeping’ wife in a horizontal embrace.
As if ’just waking up,’ Su Wan looked at Gu Jue somewhat dazedly, her voice still filled with nasality, "Ajue?"
Gu Jue half-lowered his eyes, "Why are you soaking here for so long? Are you planning to shed all your scales and then give them to me as a gift?"
Su Wan: "..."
Clearing her throat softly, she murmured, "Ajue, I haven’t seen your large tail for so long..."
This wasn’t a lie; Su Wan had been really busy recently, even finding time to care for the children had been a struggle.
Naturally, that left even less time to snuggle comfortably with Gu Jue, because he was also busy.
Though Gu Jue still had a furrowed brow, that familiar, fuzzy large tail made its way over, moving into Su Wan’s embrace of its own accord.
Touching the fuzzy tail, Su Wan finally felt a bit relieved. Mmm, Commander Gu might be unhappy, but not to the point of ignoring her.
Yet the image of Commander Gu, jealous of his children, no longer seemed so aloof. He appeared more like a big dog that had been wronged.
This reminded Su Wan of the days when they first got together.
Su Wan whispered softly, "Ajue, has it been a long time since your last Manic-Depressive Period?"
Gu Jue had already carried her to the bed and then picked up a soft blanket to wrap around the beautiful mermaid. Afterward, he took the hair dryer and gently blew her long hair.
He sighed, "Wanwan, go ahead and tease me. You clearly promised the second Blessing Fish Scale would definitely be mine, and now? The second is gone; do you want me to wait for a third?"
"No, Xiaochen claimed the third one."
"..."
Gu Jue’s hand paused for a moment, suddenly regretting, why did he have so many children?!
However, with the atmosphere being so pleasant that night, it was certainly not to be wasted, especially since Su Wan felt a bit guilty. Even if they had been married for many years, this time Gu Jue’s Manic-Depressive Period had still been a long time coming.
It even resulted in Su Wan almost not getting up the next day, but as a Commander, she definitely couldn’t take a day off, so she forced herself out of bed.
How else could it be said, a Beastman’s Manic-Depressive Period really shouldn’t be suppressed for too long. Su Wan almost thought she had lost a scale or two, but fortunately, after searching the bed, she didn’t find any missing.
While Su Wan was helping Gu Jue with his tie, she said, "I heard that the people from the Universe Alliance are planning to cooperate with us to attack the Insectoids?"
"Yes, but Zilan and I haven’t agreed."
"Right now, the Insectoids haven’t attacked us, and most importantly, we can’t trust the people from the Universe Alliance."
Gu Jue nodded, "Exactly, so we’re planning to make contact with the new leader of the Insectoids. Their numbers are constantly growing, which is obviously a problem."
Although Doris no longer held power, she was still among the ranks of the Insectoids, and it was unknown what the new leader had in mind.
Su Wan: "Mm, it’s necessary to make contact, but you also need to be careful about your safety. We’ve all been to the Insect Nest, and the fact that they’ve expanded their forces to such an extent makes it very likely... that their so-called Insect God has also arrived in this world."
"It might be Doris who brought Him here."
There was no need to guess that the Insect God was definitely much stronger than Doris, but the Universe Alliance was also a group of untrustworthy deceivers. They needed to be extremely cautious on Landis Star, or else they might end up facing enemies on all sides.
What kind of person the new Insectoid leader was—this was critical for Landis.
What Su Wan and Gu Jue absolutely couldn’t anticipate was that at this very moment, the new Insectoid leader, the Insect God, was sitting on the couch with his eyes half-closed, lost in thought.
Doris and Xi Le walked in hurriedly, both wearing serious expressions.
Doris said, "My lord, it’s said that those people from the Universe Alliance have approached Landis Star, planning to unite against us! They intend to repeat their old tricks, and defeat You just like they defeated me!"
The Insect God looked up; the silver-haired youth with an expressionless face spoke indifferently, "Isn’t defeating you quite normal?"
Doris: "..."
Alright, if anyone else had said such things, Doris would have used her Spatial Superpower to send them straight into a black hole in a matter of minutes.
But, she couldn’t beat the Insect God.
Xi Le, however, spoke very sensibly, "My lord, we may disregard those fools in the Universe Alliance, but whether it’s Gu Jue or Gu Zilan, they are both not to be underestimated. If they really collaborate with the Universe Alliance against us, and our Base Star isn’t fully established yet, with the majority of our people not having transferred over, we might run into some trouble."
"The Gu Family aren’t fools; they wouldn’t trust the people from the Universe Alliance."
"That’s true, but to some extent, no, it is from a species standpoint that we are naturally antagonistic to them, like fire and water."
Fire and water? The Insect God disliked this term. He looked up with an indifferent gaze and said, "Find a time to visit Landis Star and have a talk with the Gu Family, see what they’re thinking."
Xi Le and Doris exchanged glances.
Doris immediately said, "I don’t want to go! I have many enemies on Landis Star!"
"Hmm, not you, you always mess things up. Xi Le, you go, and I’ll also be in the team."
"My lord, do You mean not to reveal Your identity to Gu Jue and the others?"
"Hmm, not for now. But, my thoughts will be transmitted directly into your mind, so it won’t affect your negotiations with them."
"Yes."
The Insect God let Xi Le go to get ready for the trip to Landis Star.
Just, would there be another chance to see Xiaoyan alone?
