The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Lan Ruojin clenched his fist and made a fake cough at the corner of his mouth.

"Su Wan, I’m very sorry about yesterday’s incident. Xiaorui has specifically come to apologize to you today."

There was still some reluctance in Lan Rui’s eyes, but she walked up to Su Wan.

She said in a low voice, "I’m sorry, Su Wan, I was wrong yesterday. Please forgive me."

Seeing that Lan Rui had come to admit her mistake, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere on the training ground finally relaxed a bit.

However, Sheng An and Lin Yu still approached Su Wan.

With those two from the Mermaid Planet sticking around, they couldn’t be at ease.

Su Wan watched Lan Rui biting her lip, looking like she had suffered a great deal of grievance, and she waved her hand, "Besides apologizing, is there anything else?"

Lan Ruojin said, "Su Wan, you’re not angry anymore, right?"

Su Wan replied, "It’s not worth it."

She spoke lightly, even with a touch of disdain, but kept an eye on Lan Rui’s expression.

The other party was clearly trying hard to control her emotions.

Lan Rui pursed her lips, tugging fiercely at the corner of her clothes.

Lan Ruojin, however, didn’t think there was anything wrong with Su Wan’s response, and he turned his head, glaring at Lan Rui.

Lan Rui was extremely reluctant but still took out a palm-sized box from her pocket.

She said, "This is a peace offering."

Su Wan was not interested in the other party’s peace offering.

Most importantly, what if the other party had tampered with the gift?

And just at that moment, Vermilion Bird urgently spoke up in Su Wan’s earpiece, "Master, accept this gift!"

This was Vermilion Bird’s first time taking the initiative to speak.

Su Wan trusted it but didn’t hurry to respond, looking at Lan Rui with a bit of scrutiny, "What is this?"

Lan Rui was about to explode!

Every time she saw Su Wan’s face, she felt terribly frustrated.

Now watching the other party look down on her with that superior air.

Lan Rui really wished she could grow a mermaid tail and slap someone with it!

Lan Ruojin saw the expression on Lan Rui’s face and slightly furrowed his brows; he didn’t want conflicts and disputes to occur again!

He reached out to take the small box from Lan Rui’s hand, turned around, and smiled at Su Wan, "Su Wan, this is the most precious gift on our Mermaid Planet, a Blessing Fish Scale."

Su Wan frowned slightly. It couldn’t be one of Lan Rui’s own scales, could it?

That would be rather repulsive.

But Su Wan trusted Vermilion Bird.

Since it seldom spoke up, and now it was saying to accept this thing, it meant the item should be beneficial for her.

"Alright then, I will accept the peace offering. The sun is a bit strong, I’m going to head back to my dorm to rest."

Su Wan certainly captured the haughty demeanor of an arrogant commander’s wife to perfection.

She even saw Lan Rui grinding her teeth in anger.

Just upsetting you is already letting you off easy!

Su Wan appeared to have temporarily forgiven Lan Rui, not because she was magnanimous, but because she didn’t want to startle the snake and alert it.

Drawing out the person behind Lan Rui was what mattered most.

Su Wan adhered to a principle: as a wife, the more generous you are when another woman covets your husband, the more foolish you are!

The other party will not back down.

It will only be because you are timid and cowardly that she sees an opportunity!

Of course, this requires an important premise, which is that the man must be wholeheartedly devoted to you.

If not, please refer to the case example of her mother, Lin Ranyue.

Decisively divorce the ex-husband and then live a happy and carefree life every day. When encountering a second spring, do not hesitate and strike directly.

Women should live freely and unrestrainedly.

For this, for that, all sorts of compromises, all sorts of suffering for the sake of appeasement.

In the end, you’ll only make yourself sick from all the repression.

Su Wan directly returned to the dormitory, and she opened the box, only to see a golden fish scale lying quietly inside!

The fish scale was a little larger than the nail on her thumb, and it shimmered with iridescent light under the glow.

And you know, it was strangely beautiful.

Su Wan said, "Vermilion Bird, why did you insist that I accept this gift earlier?"

Vermilion Bird replied, "I detected an enormous amount of spiritual power within that fish scale earlier."

Su Wan was startled and reached out to pick up the scale, muttering, "It better not be one of Lan Rui’s scales, that would be disgusting..."

She did not finish her sentence and suddenly stopped.

An overwhelming surge of spiritual power burst forth from the fish scale!

Before Su Wan lost consciousness, she only heard Vermilion Bird call out anxiously, "Master..."

**

Lan Rui returned to the dormitory, took several deep breaths, but still felt extremely depressed.

She kicked over the glass coffee table next to her!

There was a crashing sound as the glass shattered everywhere, and Lan Rui’s eyes reddened.

When had she ever been subjected to such humiliation?

Lan Ruojin scoffed, "You feel wronged? Just be glad that it didn’t spark a war between two planets."

Lan Rui, sulking with her arms crossed, sat on the sofa, "Such a pity about that Blessing Fish Scale."

Lan Ruojin said, "What’s there to regret? The scale has been with you for so long without any use. It’s better to give it to Su Wan as a favor, so she won’t be angry anymore."

"Even though it’s useless, I still don’t want to give it to her!" Lan Rui felt like she was going to suffer internal injuries from anger!

But, was that scale truly useless?

Others might not know, but Su Wan was very aware!

She was overwhelmed by the powerful spiritual force and fainted. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

When she woke up, her mind was filled with the life experiences of a woman.

This woman was indeed formidable; she had led the Mermaid Clan through hardships and had eventually succeeded in establishing the Mermaid Planet.

In the latter half of her life, she decisively abdicated the throne to her competent subordinate and then retired to the Federal Empire with her lover.

When Su Wan came to, she was still a bit dazed.

Looking up, she saw Vermilion Bird fluttering in the air, its red light flashing incessantly.

Seeing Su Wan awaken, Vermilion Bird immediately said nervously, "Master, are you alright? I have already informed the male master, he will be here soon!"

"How long was I out?"

"The data shows that you were unconscious for exactly ten minutes!"

Su Wan was taken aback; it had only been ten minutes?

Yet she felt like she had watched a long, epic saga!

Many scenes in it were particularly vivid, as if she had been right there watching when they happened!

Su Wan was covered in sweat, feeling very uncomfortable. She took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and then heard voices in the living room.

Luo Jina said in shock, "Commander Gu, what brings you here?"

Gu Jue asked, "Where’s Wanwan?"

When Su Wan heard this, she immediately pushed open the door, and seeing so many people in the living room, she was a bit bewildered.

Gu Jue saw his petite wife with damp hair, wearing a light yellow house dress, and her eyes slightly vacant.

But this tender and cute appearance was damn endearing!

Gu Jue used his body to shield her from the view of others, "All of you, leave and await orders!"

"Yes!"

Su Wan peered out from Gu Jue’s embrace, surprised to find that the room was filled with so many Interstellar Warriors!

She said softly, "Ajue, you can send them back. I’m fine."
