Gu Yan silently nodded.
But this was no easy matter.
First off, as gods, they could live forever.
Although it seed now that even Gaia, who was also immortal, could only be forever with her mate, trapped within a Space Fragnt.
But take Bai Li for example, after each reincarnation, he could exist in the Universe and participate in anything it had to offer. Such immortality was aningful.
Who would be willing to let go so readily?
Su Wan glanced at the two and cleared her throat, "Xiaoyan, you haven’t eaten in a long ti, you must be starving. I’ll go to the Starship’s kitchen to make you sothing. You rest for a while."
Gu Yan was about to say that she wasn’t hungry, having just eaten quite a few pastries with Queen Gaia.
But her mother had already walked far away.
In the room, only Gu Yan and Bai Li remained.
Gu Yan thought about the recent events, "Bai Li, I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because I’ve been using my Spatial Superpower too much, and then sothing went wrong with my mory recognition. I started to not know how to reply to your ssages, I..."
"It was Jiang Huai’s doing. His Superpower can bewitch people, making them fond of him," Bai Li said.
"What?"
"He also harshly dealt with Ji Mu because he kept ruining his chances to get close to you."
Gu Yan was stunned on the spot. If that was the case, then all her recent doubts could be explained!
It was all Jiang Huai’s doing!
She said dejectedly, "To think I always treated Jiang Huai as a friend, how could he do this!"
Seeing the resentnt and disdain in Gu Yan’s eyes for Jiang Huai, Bai Li suddenly felt that speaking ill of Jiang Huai, well, seed more effective than just killing the bastard?
After all, he didn’t care about the life or death of that bastard; his only care was for Xiaoyan.
Gu Yan’s impression of Jiang Huai had indeed plumted to the lowest point, but the outco of Jiang Huai’s previous use of his Superpower was still there, causing her cognition to be a bit muddled, hence she felt a bit of a headache.
Bai Li reached out to hold her in his embrace, "Xiaoyan, you’re too tired. Sleep first, we’ll talk about everything after we return to Landis Star. I’ll be with you all the way."
mories could be tampered with.
But emotions couldn’t be replaced.
Leaning in Bai Li’s embrace, Gu Yan finally relaxed completely and soon fell into a deep sleep.
And the purple vines wrapped around her wrist seed to want to take credit, waving leaves at Bai Li before retracting back into Gu Yan’s body.
Bai Li’s eyes were filled with tenderness.
He picked up Gu Yan and placed her on the bed, covering her with the blanket, and then stood by the bedside.
Jiang Huai wasn’t wrong about one thing, he indeed could be with Gu Yan at all tis, and Bai Li hadn’t done well in this respect previously.
So in the future, he must change.
anwhile, Su Wan had just made her daughter’s favorite sweet and sour pork and tomato noodles, when Vermilion Bird said, "Master, Xiaofu told its master has fallen asleep, and the Insect God is accompanying her."
Su Wan nodded, "Okay, then let’s store these dishes in the preservation cabinet for now. No matter what, it’s a relief that Xiaoyan didn’t get into trouble this ti."
Otherwise, things might really have been beyond redy.
After the Starship returned to Landis Star, Su Wan took her daughter ho, but Vivian, Xu Wei’an, and Su Yao, the three girls who had heard the news, were eagerly waiting at the mansion’s entrance.
They received a ssage that Gu Yan was alright, but they didn’t believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.
Su Wan asked them all to co in and sit down in the living room, and after Gu Yan had slept for a while and felt better, he joined the girls for a chat.
"What? You t the legendary rmaid Queen? Is that for real?"
"Of course, it’s real. She even gave a scale, and I gave her my white mushroom."
"Is she as beautiful and powerful as the legends say?"
"Of course!"
Watching the young ladies chattering away, Su Wan had the household robot bring them fruit juice and snacks, then turned and asked Bai Li, who was standing in the yard, "Gu Yan is fine now, aren’t you going back to the front line?"
"It’s okay, Gu Jue is there."
"..." Su Wan was sowhat speechless, and she said, "But if you go back, wouldn’t that help end the war sooner, and then you could spend more ti with Gu Yan sooner, right?"
Bai Li turned to look at her, "Aren’t you also looking forward to spending more ti with Commander Gu?"
Su Wan: "...Although you’re much stronger than in age, wisdom, and combat power, I feel the need to remind you that, nominally, I and Ajue are your in-laws! Shouldn’t you show so respect, or at least be polite?"
Then, Su Wan successfully saw Lord Insect God’s face darken.
Hmm, the feeling of being senior enough to keep soone in check is really quite satisfying!
In the end, Bai Li heeded Su Wan’s advice and rushed back to the front line early the next morning, and Gu Chen went back with him.
An earlier end to the war was important to everyone.
That evening, Su Wan personally cooked a al to treat the girls who were worried about Gu Yan, along with Bai Li, that old bug.
Busy in the Imperial Palace, Gu Chen also made it back just in ti to have dinner with his family, as he would be boarding a starship for the front line early the next day.
However, when he encountered Vivian, his gaze shifted slightly, but his tone remained calm, "Things have been going smoothly for you at the military academy, right?"
"Quite smoothly. I was supposed to study at this academy."
"You’ll be a Star Warrior going into battle in the future, aren’t you scared?"
Vivian shook her head, "It’s because of my fear and weakness that I strive to beco stronger. Once I’m stronger, there won’t be anything to be afraid of."
After saying this, Vivian nodded and, carrying snacks from the kitchen, went to Gu Yan’s room.
Gu Chen stood behind her, watching her walk away.
Gu Yu had just rushed back from the school laboratory, planning to take a shower in his room and then go to the kitchen to help his mother.
He saw this scene and nudged his elder brother’s shoulder, "Big brother, do you still like her? If you do, then go after her. You said we only live for around two hundred years, and when it cos to matters of the heart, our parents are very tolerant and give us the freedom to choose. So why are you still hesitating?"
Gu Chen shook his head, "Even if I get past that hurdle, she won’t. I don’t know about the future, but right now this situation is quite good."
eting and talking, greeting each other, but without any closer relationship that could make it awkward for both of us.
It’s quite good this way.
"I don’t know why, but it just feels like a pity. Brother, if you continue this way, could it be that you’ll be destined to be lonely for life?"
Gu Chen turned his head to look at his brother, "Enough about . Let’s talk about you. Why did I hear that you made the niece of Uncle Lan Yu cry? That little blue rmaid has a fondness for you, you know!"
"I didn’t an to scare her. I was just explaining to her during the al what a rmaid’s tail looks like dissected, whether it’s made of rmaid bones or human bones, how many bones there are, oh, and what the abdominal cavity looks like when opened up."
Gu Chen: "..."
Why did he feel, it wasn’t he who would end up lonely, but his brother?
