Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 241: He’s Jealous!
Even White Tiger couldn’t stand by anymore; it promptly spoke up to explain to its master.
"Madam, you’ve misunderstood the master. It was because the Star Thieves put up such fierce resistance that the allied forces from the other planets got scared and retreated, creating an opening that almost allowed the Star Thieves to escape. Given the critical situation, the encirclement was nearly broken, so the master alone blocked that gap!"
Alone, controlling Mecha Azure Dragon, he faced off against the tenacious Star Thieves with overwhelming firepower.
Su Wan’s pupils contracted with shock!
The Commander Gu she knew wouldn’t act so recklessly.
By himself against an entire massive starship?! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Gu Jue looked at his adorable wife’s worried gaze, and his heart softened. He didn’t want her to worry.
"It’s all right now, everything is still under my control. Wanwan, were you trying to contact me for something?"
It was only then that Su Wan remembered Lan Yu’s issue and quickly recounted the details to Gu Jue.
Clearly, Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing were trustworthy, but as for Lan Yu...
Su Wan wasn’t sure and decided to defer to Gu Jue’s opinion.
Yet, Gu Jue’s point of focus seemed a bit off.
"Are you saying that like a Mermaid Beastman, you began to emit pheromones for mating?"
The Commander’s image in the transmission, his shirt open, revealed a muscular, wheat-colored chest with a fierce and frightening wound.
His handsome face was covered in frost.
Su Wan realized that he seemed to be angry?
Yet she couldn’t grasp why he was angry.
Su Wan: "I don’t know myself, it just happened suddenly. Since Lan Yu is also from the Mermaid Clan, he noticed it. But before, I also met Lan Rui, and she didn’t notice anything."
"Although Lan Rui is a Beastman, her mental prowess is too low, only A-class, whereas Lan Yu has already reached SS-class Beastman."
So, Lan Yu could detect Su Wan’s excess pheromones, but Lan Rui failed to notice.
Gu Jue’s eyes became even colder, "One more thing, he is a male Mermaid Beast Transformer."
Su Wan finally understood the cold demeanor that even penetrated through the projection from Commander Gu—it meant.
He was jealous.
Su Wan’s mood improved greatly; her eyes narrowed, and her smile sweetened, "Ajue, don’t be angry. Lan Teacher’s interest in me right now is just like his interest in you and the baby; he really wants to cut us all open for research."
"I didn’t know before that pheromones could happen like this, but from now on, Gu Qingyu has already prepared an exclusive medicine for me, tailored for Mermaid Beastmen. This will prevent pheromones from leaking out in the future, and I will also strive to quickly learn how to control myself."
As Su Wan spoke, her tone paused, and her voice suddenly grew softer, her fair and lovely face blushing slightly.
She said, "When you come back, be my exclusive remedy."
Gu Jue: "..."
As the prime spectator, White Tiger shook its head in amazement.
Madam really knows how to do it! The master had already been eager to return, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken such a risk and went alone to destroy those Star Thieves’ ships.
And now with this new development...
White Tiger’s electronic eyes carefully calculated various data about its master’s body...
It felt that the lifespan of those Star Thieves had just shortened considerably.
Over here, Su Wan didn’t take up too much of Gu Jue’s time, reminding him not to be rash and to keep his safety in mind.
The Commander listened to his delicate wife’s prattling without finding it dull at all.
He even seemed as though he couldn’t get enough, asking White Tiger to record her words.
His last words were, "I’m fine over here, but as for you, don’t leave the Main Star during this period."
Su Wan: "I know, the port is temporarily closed now."
Since the main force of the First Starship Fleet had been deployed, if someone caused trouble at this time, it could be dangerous for the Federal Empire’s Main Star.
Gu Jue shook his head, "The most important thing is not to let anyone discover your secret. When I come back, I will properly train you to become stronger."
If it were any other husband, to his beloved wife, he might say, "I’ll protect you."
But Gu Jue didn’t.
He would protect his wife, as that was a given.
But to have his wife grow strong herself, so that no matter what danger she faced in the future, she could protect herself well,
That was Gu Jue’s dual protection for his wife.
What others thought, Su Wan did not know, but she really liked Commander Gu’s way of protecting.
He was giving her both the fish and the fishing rod.
She was so in love with this man!
Just before they ended the communication, Gu Jue said, "You can trust Lan Yu, and since he is a Mermaid Beastman, you might learn about the Mermaid Beastman’s traits from him in the future."
A Mermaid Beastman was quite a unique type among Beastmen.
Since Lan Yu was willing to be a readily available free labor force, it would be a waste not to use him.
Su Wan put her mind at ease.
Before the projection cut off, she whispered softly, "Ajue, I miss you."
The screen remained dark for a long, long time. Commander Gu methodically buttoned his uniform, donned his white gloves, and finally put on his military cap.
His tone calm, he connected to his subordinates’ channel, saying, "Attack Nameless Star in ten minutes!"
Li Rui said, "Our First Starship Fleet’s warriors have no problems, but Commander, the armies from the other allied planets are clearly taking us lightly."
The man as cold and godlike as a deity spoke in a light tone, "Any planet’s army that retreats at this time does so to ally with the Star Thieves, to become an enemy of our Federal Empire."
Li Rui immediately nodded, "Understood, Commander. I’ll go and convey this to them right now."
Gu Jue, the First Commander of the Federal Empire, he was the icy god of death of the Universe!
How could those people forget this just because he had taken a wife and had a child?
Su Wan had no idea about the fierce battles happening in outer space.
She turned around and relayed Gu Jue’s words to Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing.
Since Lan Yu was trustworthy, Gu Qingyu and his wife Ouyang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Lan Yu was squatting in front of a baby stroller, holding a Mecha Azure Dragon toy, amusing the wolf-eared baby.
"Little baby, why don’t you throw some electricity, let uncle see?"
"Pleeease!"
The little one just stared blankly...
Su Wan couldn’t bear to watch the scene!
Who asks for an electric shock?
The wolf-eared baby, clearly annoyed by the pestering fish, and considering his pleading looks...
A purple current as thick as a bowl flashed, and Lan Yu lay on the ground, twitching, his fish tail revealed by the electric shock!
Su Wan was startled.
She hoped he wasn’t electrocuted to death!
Ouyang Qing also hurriedly brought over the medical equipment to check on Lan Yu.
But the merman lying on the carpet, emitting a certain smell from being electrocuted, waved his hand.
"I’m, cough cough, I’m fine."
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
That made sense, after all, he was an SS-class Beastman, so how could he be so easily electrocuted to death by the baby.
