Su Wan also knew about this dicine, and although it would not harm Xiaoyan, taking it would still leave the child’s body weakened for a while.
She said, "Are we sure that it is definitely a mutant plant parasite? Could there be any other possibilities?"
Gu Jue replied, "I had White Tiger take pictures and send them to Gu Qingyu. He said it resembles a kind of mutant vine parasite very closely."
"But what if it isn’t?"
"If it isn’t, then taking the dicine won’t affect the plant, but it will still leave Xiaoyan’s body weakened for so ti."
Su Wan frowned and thought for a mont, then said, "When the dicine arrives later, let’s not give it to Xiaoyan right away. I want to think about it first."
She clearly rembered how Xiaoyan, with a sad face, had ntioned that everyone has tails, but she didn’t.
The little girl should have been a carefree pure human, but because Su Wan had carried out a mission earlier, by accident, Little Mushroom had beco bound to Xiaoyan.
"It’s all my fault..."
"No, this isn’t your fault," Gu Jue said, reaching out to embrace his wife, speaking softly, "Everyone has their own destiny. For example, what I went through as a kid at the Beast Transformation base, or how you ended up on Ancient Earth after falling into a coma—these were all predetermined fates. And now, whether it’s Little Mushroom or Purple Wisteria, they are all part of Xiaoyan’s fate."
"But she’s just a child."
Su Wan was already heartbroken for her child and even more so for her youngest daughter, who had no ans of protecting herself. Of course, if her sons were in the sa situation, she would be equally worried and upset; both palms and backs of hands are made of flesh.
The couple embraced quietly for a long ti, with Su Wan finally lifting her head to say, "Ajue, I suddenly feel that we can’t just let Xiaoyan take the dicine like this. Just like when we asked her if she wanted to go to Virtual Landis City, we should ask about the child’s own wishes."
Su Wan hadn’t forgotten the spark of excitent in her daughter’s eyes when she said she had a Little Tail.
Being different from her parents and brothers was already making the young girl very uncomfortable.
What if, what if Purple Wisteria posed no danger to Xiaoyan? Would acting rashly, besides weakening her body, also break her heart?
Gu Jue had always respected his wife’s decisions and not to ntion, this also concerned his precious daughter. He nodded in agreent, "Mmm, she should be inford."
Though now transford into Little Mushroom, the Insect God had always been paying attention to the goings-on at the Commander’s residence. Of course, he was not too bold, as that would likely lead to being discovered by Gu Jue—a situation that wasn’t easy to explain at the mont.
It wasn’t that conflict would definitely arise, but surely the other party wouldn’t allow him to stay by Xiaoyan’s side anyway.
So each ti he visited the Commander’s residence, he was very cautious.
Initially, when the Insect God heard they were going to administer the dicine directly to Xiaoyan, his eyes flashed indifferently; killing Purple Wisteria didn’t matter, but this would weaken Xiaoyan’s body!
It would also make Xiaoyan sad!
But later, upon hearing Su Wan’s words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they were still willing to listen to Xiaoyan’s thoughts; that was a relief.
This couple was just too kind to Xiaoyan, and that was why the Insect God had always been at ease about leaving Xiaoyan in their care.
The white Little Mushroom nuzzled against the sleeping girl’s face and then snuggled up to her, falling into a deep sleep as well.
Over in the resting quarters for the Insectoid envoy team, Xi Le, who had been tense all day, could finally rest. He knew that Lord Insect God was no longer in the group; this being could co and go without a trace, and no one knew Lord Insect God’s true capabilities.
Deep down, all Insectoids naturally obey Lord Insect God.
So, no one can control Lord Insect God; in the entire Universe, there’s no one who can!
At this mont, Xi Le’s neural computer chid, and after he answered, Su Man’s weak but excited voice ca through.
"Xi Le, I’ve given birth, I’ve had a daughter!"
Xi Le was quite happy as well. They already had a son, and he had wanted a cute daughter too.
Xi Le asked, "Is the child an Insectoid or pure human?"
Since Su Man was a pure human and he was an Insectoid, their child was likely to be one of the two.
Su Man paused in her speech and finally seed a bit less happy.
"Pure human."
Xi Le was still quite happy. Although pure humans weren’t as strong in combat, he could just dote on his daughter in the future.
Feeling good, he ended up talking quite a bit with Su Man.
After finishing the call with her husband, Su Man looked at the infant in the swaddle next to her.
In fact, pure humans were preferable to Insectoids, because many Insectoid won had so insect-like characteristics on their bodies, and to put it bluntly, Su Man herself was not yet accustod to it.
But why wasn’t she a Beastman?
Beastn could completely retract their beast-like parts, and they were strong fighters and also smart... But never mind that, Su Wan’s daughter was also a pure human, and now they finally stood on the sa starting line, right?
"Su Wan, my daughter will definitely marry better than yours in the future!"
**
In Landis Star, at Commander Gu’s residence.
Because her daughter had played until she fell asleep, Su Wan ultimately couldn’t bear to wake her up. After getting the dicine, she just let Vermilion Bird store it in the temperature-controlled dicine box.
The next day, both Su Wan and Gu Jue had taken leave. They wouldn’t be going to the military base today as they planned to take their daughter to explore the virtual Landis City, and everything was ready.
But now there was the issue with the Purple Wisteria to consider.
Xiaoyan was also ready, prepared to go on an adventure with Mom and Dad, but she felt puzzled seeing them looking at her seriously during breakfast.
"Mommy, what’s wrong, did I get rice porridge on my face?"
"No, you didn’t. Xiaoyan, before we leave, Mommy wants to talk to you about sothing."
"Okay."
On this matter, Su Wan’s patience and gentleness far exceeded that of Gu Jue. She took her daughter to her little room and explained the matter of the parasitic plant in full detail.
It was essentially a little science lesson for her daughter.
The daughter might not rember so much, but Su Wan still emphasized the harmful nature of parasitic plants.
Xiaoyan blinked her big eyes and finally said in confusion, "Mommy, why are you telling all this?"
"It’s because the small Purple Wisteria that sprouts from your palm is likely a mutation, a type of parasitic plant."
"But, but Mommy, you said that mutant plants are very ferocious and compete with humans for nutrients. But the little Purple Wisteria, it hasn’t fought for nutrients at all. On the contrary, I feel so comfortable every ti it cos out. Mommy, everything I said is true."
