Chapter 555: Chapter 555 Where are you taking me?
Su Wan saw him walk in, looking exhausted, and quickly said, "Has that matter not been settled yet?"
Gu Jue replied, "It has been settled. The people from our planet have been safely brought back, but the Plantmen have been pressed too hard by those people over the years. After all, their family members were taken away for experimental research, so emotionally, they harbor resentment towards the Beastmen."
Interestingly enough, Beastmen, Plantmen, and Insectoids already existed. Of course, pure humans, generally low in combat power and scattered across various planets, didn’t attract much attention.
When the Insectoids rose to power, they formed an entire group, so at the beginning, most Beastmen dared not openly research them, at most engaging in some studies during the time they were hostile towards each other.
But Plantmen were different.
The emergence of Plantmen was quite random, mostly newborn babies, and some adults who were parasitized by mutant plants, yet overcame the plants and retained their sanity.
Some Star Domain dwellers, wary of Plantmen, or curious about them, began to research Plantmen.
And on Landis Star, some people had planned to do the same, but since Gu Jue’s daughter, Gu Yan, was a Plantman herself, they prohibited the people of Landis Star from committing such inhumane acts against Plantmen.
Thus, although the Plantmen are now independent, their attitude towards Landis Star is still fairly good, and they released the civilians of Landis Star promptly this time.
However, civilians from other planets weren’t so lucky.
And Gu Jue didn’t let his subordinates take action but successfully brought back the residents of his own planet.
Su Wan said, "The power of the Insectoids is growing stronger, they have already taken over many Star Domains, and now the force of the Plantmen has emerged, which will also grow stronger. The Universe Alliance bunch must be restless again, right?"
"Indeed, so they have started contacting us again."
"These people really leave me speechless, always jumping around. With this time, why don’t they properly develop their own planets?"
While Su Wan and Gu Jue were seriously discussing the current interstellar situation, their beloved daughter had already been abducted.
Xiaoyan sat in the spaceship, curiously gazing at the twinkling stars outside the window, asking, "Brother Little Mushroom, where are you taking me?"
The Insect God smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, "You’re only asking now after coming out? Aren’t you worried I might sell you?"
Xiaoyan replied, "From childhood to now, you’ve had plenty of chances to sell me, but you’ve never done it, have you?"
The Insect God commented, "Maybe because you were too small to sell, I need to wait until you grow up to sell you."
Xiaoyan wasn’t frightened by his words, her eyes narrowing as she said, "Then have you decided whom you’re going to sell me to? To my parents’ rivals? Oh, those people from the Universe Alliance, you look down on them too, don’t you? It must be either the Insectoids or the Plantmen? After all, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to buy me."
"But I’m a Plantman myself, and the Plantmen are quite friendly to the people of Landis Star; they have no reason to buy me back. As for the Insectoids..."
Xiaoyan looked at the person in front of her and huffed, "You think I don’t know you’re the boss of the Insectoids."
As a child, Xiaoyan truly didn’t know and couldn’t understand why Brother Little Mushroom came and left without a trace.
But as she grew older and began to learn about the outside world – her family being quite special, not to mention knowing outside affairs, but also potentially privy to confidential matters – she naturally recognized that Brother Little Mushroom was actually the boss of the Insectoids!
When she first discovered this, Xiaoyan was shocked but she never told anyone, instead carefully asking Brother Little Mushroom what kind of insect he was transformed from on their next encounter...
The Insect God, looking at the clever young girl, his mouth curving into a helpless smile, said, "How come you’re so brave?"
"It’s because my dad and mom taught me well."
The Insect God thought about it, and it made sense. A child who grew up doted on by Su Wan, Gu Jue, and the whole family, or rather, the entire Landis Star, indeed shouldn’t be timid and did have the capital to be spoiled.
"Brother Little Mushroom, you still haven’t said where exactly you’re taking me?"
"You’ll know very soon."
The spaceship finally left Landis Star and soon stopped at a space station. Then, after a while, Doris came in.
Over the years, Doris had become much more docile since the Insect God was too powerful for her to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
But the one thing that hadn’t changed was the ambition in her heart to dominate the universe, so whenever she had the chance, she would persuade the Insect God about which planet they could annihilate to expand the power of the Insectoids.
Ultimately, her desire to dominate the universe never died.
These past years, Doris had encountered her sworn enemy, Su Wan, twice, but she got no advantage from those encounters. The Insectoids and Landis Star had signed a friendship treaty, initially for five years, which was later renewed for ten, so every time she met Su Wan, Doris could do nothing.
As for using Superpowers to do something underhanded against Su Wan?
Impossible.
After all, Su Wan’s Spatial Superpower had grown much stronger. Additionally, with Doris having suffered heavy injuries, the idea of using her Spatial Superpower against Su Wan was now completely out of reach.
But currently, the sudden sight of Su Wan’s daughter here almost made Doris’s hair stand on end!
She excitedly said, "My lord, have you finally come to your senses, planning to kidnap Su Wan’s daughter first and then threaten her and Gu Jue?"
Over the years, the Insect God had met with Xiaoyan several times, usually visiting her on Landis Star, because... he knew Xiaoyan was afraid of insects, so most of the time, he wouldn’t bring her here.
But this time was an exception.
Today was Xiaoyan’s birthday, and moreover...
The Insect God said in a mild tone, "Doris, do you want to end up as just a head again?"
Doris was taken aback.
He continued speaking slowly, "I asked you here to activate your Spatial Superpower and take us to Ancient Earth."
Doris: "..."
These years, the Insect God had simply used Doris as a means of transport, relocating many Insectoids and Insect Beasts from the Insect Nest.
Doris had accepted this role, after all, she had been doing this before as well.
The most important thing was, she couldn’t defeat the Insect God.
But firstly...
Doris said in surprise, "My lord, you want me to transport the two of you to Ancient Earth? Are you planning to throw Su Wan’s child into the era of Ancient Earth and make her and Gu Jue anxious and upset?"
Xiaoyan seemed to understand and said curiously, "Why do you have such a great animosity towards me? Oh, I remember now, you’re Queen Gaia’s alternate personality. You’ve caused my mother a lot of trouble before!"
Doris: "..."
Insect God: "Doris, do I need to waste more words?"
