Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 233: Commander Gu said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here.
Gu Jue had carried his delicate wife back to the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.
Commander Gu, with a gentle furrow in his brow, "You’ve gotten much lighter."
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Of course I’m lighter after giving birth to the baby, who weighed about seven or eight pounds."
Although there was a healing pod to help Su Wan recover, she had just given birth and was low on energy, which needed to be replenished slowly.
Her palm-sized little face was a bit too pale, lacking its usual healthy glow.
Anyway, the way Commander Gu saw it, he couldn’t help but feel distressed!
He propped up one hand on the pillow and with the other, gently brushed the bangs that obscured Su Wan’s eyes behind her ear.
Gu Jue pressed his lips together, "No more children in the future."
Su Wan thought to herself, deciding to have children or not is still up to you, isn’t it?
Just have fewer Manic-Depressive Periods and that’ll do!
Su Wan was indifferent to the child itself, but now that the baby was born, fuzzy and cute, of course she liked it.
But seeing the worried look on Commander Gu’s face, Su Wan softened her voice.
"Having a baby isn’t so easy. Like in our Federal Empire, some couples have been married for over a hundred years and have never had children."
"You have Mermaid bloodline."
With Mermaid bloodline, fertility is also strong.
Su Wan was startled and sat up quickly, nearly knocking into Gu Jue’s chin.
Gu Jue reached out to steady her, "Wanwan, what’s wrong?"
"It’s about the Mermaid; it’s the thing I wanted to talk to you about!" Su Wan realized that after giving birth, her thoughts tended to be scattered.
And yet, this matter was very important!
She reached into the pocket of the coat beside her, took out a gold fish scale, and handed it to Gu Jue.
Gu Jue frowned, "Who gave this to you?"
Gu Jue knew that Lan Yu gave Wanwan the fish scale without any ulterior motive, merely as a pure blessing for Wanwan and the child.
But he remembered that Lan Yu’s scales were light blue.
This fish scale, rounded at the top and pointed at the bottom with a rare luster, was gold... wait, gold?
He looked up in surprise at his delicate wife.
Su Wan nodded seriously, then lifted her skirt to reveal her beautiful and slender ankle.
She activated her spiritual power and saw that on her fair and lovely ankle, several pretty fish scales gradually appeared.
However, there weren’t many scales, just about a dozen; at a glance, they looked like an ornamental tattoo.
Especially pretty.
Gu Jue felt that this was unexpectedly attractive and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
But he thought about his delicate wife being still weak at the moment, so he suppressed certain surges deep in his eyes.
Gu Jue, "Is it because of the Queen’s Scale that your body has begun to evolve?"
Su Wan, "I guess it should be. Does that mean I’ve evolved into a postnatal throwback?"
Most Beastmen are born with the ability to transform.
Very few people evolve later in life.
Because postnatal evolution requires a very strong spiritual power—something that purebreds typically lack, making postnatal evolution impossible for them. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
But Su Wan was an exception.
She already had Mermaid Clan genes in her body, then during pregnancy, her baby was a Super S-class Beastman and her own spiritual power was not weak either.
Additionally, the effect of the Queen’s Blessing Fish Scale had also compounded.
Gu Jue, "Don’t worry, this isn’t a bad thing. I’ll have Gu Qingyu look into it later to see if there’s anything we need to be cautious about."
At first, Su Wan was actually a bit stunned to see the golden scales on her leg.
But somehow, now listening to Gu Jue’s words, she felt incredibly reassured.
It was as if no matter what difficulties or dangers she encountered, Ajue would always be by her side, saying, "I’m here for you."
This must be that kind of feeling, the feeling of reliability.
Su Wan: "Now it’s just scales growing on my ankles, or maybe just a few scales, but I might turn into a full-bodied mermaid."
She analyzed in a very calm tone, and Gu Jue was relieved to see she was not scared.
Still, Gu Jue took a picture of the scales and sent it to Gu Qingyu, as well as the current state of Su Wan.
Afterwards, Gu Jue told his little wife about Li Zhi.
Su Wan listened to Gu Jue’s description of how Li Zhi was seduced by that mysterious person.
Su Wan: "That mysterious person, is he that vicious Star Thief Leader, Lucifer?"
Gu Jue: "Mhm, although he was wearing a black robe at the time, I saw his feet."
"His feet?"
"Lucifer’s beast transformation form is an octopus."
Su Wan’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
Gu Jue, the great Commander, comforted her: "Wanwan, don’t be afraid of him. I won’t let him hurt you."
Gu Jue still remembered his petite wife’s fear when she first encountered Gu Lei’s beast transformation, and a massive octopus was probably more terrifying than a snake.
But...
Su Wan said excitedly: "I’m not scared at all! Because I suddenly remembered that I haven’t had takoyaki for a long time! Hey, Ajue, remember to ask White Tiger to buy some little octopuses later. I want to make takoyaki!"
Gu Jue watched the excitement in his little wife’s eyes and his brows softened into a smile, "Okay."
**
However, because Su Wan suddenly had an accident at school, it led to a premature birth.
So, the fact that she gave birth to a baby with Super S-class spiritual power could no longer be concealed!
Initially, when Su Wan and Gu Jue first got married, the opposing voices online instantly died down!
What right did they have to say that Su Wan was not good enough for Commander Gu?
Not to mention, as a pure human, she could resist an S-class mental attack, and she even gave birth to a Super S-class baby for the Commander!
In the history of the Federal Empire, there’s only ever been one person, Commander Gu Jue, who was Super S-class at birth!
There were others who reached Super S-class spiritual power, but they were almost two hundred years old.
They reached such high levels through real combat, constant training, and some serendipity.
Not to mention, there are differences among those of Super S-class; those who reached this level later in life still couldn’t withstand Gu Jue’s mental attacks.
You could say, the baby of the Su famil, was born at a finish line that most people could never reach!
But that’s not all!
It was said that Su Wan’s baby was electrified at birth!
"What kind of dumb luck did Su Wan walk into!"
Lan Rui was so angry that she smashed everything in her dormitory to bits!
Because the incident had been investigated, and Li Zhi from M783 Star was behind the attack on Su Wan.
So the other exchange students gained back their freedom.
After hearing the news about Su Wan, Lan Rui became so frustrated that she started smashing things in her dorm.
At that moment, her communicator lit up; it was a call from her brother, Lan Ruochen.
Lan Ruochen: "Xiaorui, did you meet any boys you liked at the matchmaking dance?"
Lan Rui furrowed her brows and pouted in displeasure, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lan Ruochen sighed: "It’s not that I’m in a hurry. What I mean is, if you don’t fancy any of the outstanding young men there, then come back."
Lan Rui: "Brother..."
Lan Ruochen’s voice suddenly became very serious: "Lan Rui! If you don’t find a man from the Federal Empire to marry soon, you must come back immediately! I have already sent someone to the Federation to pick you up!"
"Brother, I won’t!"
"You won’t? Unless you no longer want to be part of the Mermaid Planet!"
