Gu Jue, dressed in a neat dark blue military uniform, was opening a virtual screen and looking at the data report displayed.

The planet previously occupied by Lucifer’s stronghold turned out to be an energy planet.

This time the Allied Forces completely annihilated the Star Thieves, and naturally took over the energy resources. In this battle, the Imperial Star Fleet made the most significant contribution. Without them, the Star Thieves could not have been wiped out.

Therefore, the Empire directly claimed sixty percent of the total energy resources, and no one else had any objections.

The remaining forty percent was left for the other planets to negotiate and divide among themselves.

Next, the Empire had to arrange for personnel to go there for mining, research, and transport.

However, due to the unstable current situation and the presence of personnel from various countries’ forces on the planet, as well as the Star Thieves who had previously fled, the planet was not entirely safe.

Therefore, aside from the mining personnel, Gu Jue had to also dispatch members of the Starship Fleet to maintain safety and security.

When he saw Gu Zilan come in and remain silent for a long while, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.

"Zilan, is something the matter?" he asked.

Gu Zilan had finally relaxed after learning from the smart AI Aiwei that the temperature in the room was actually three degrees hotter than usual.

He said, "Uncle, I came to apologize. I had no idea about the incident with the envoys yesterday. Had I known, I would have definitely stopped them."

"Stop with the nonsense," Gu Jue cut off.

Seeing that Gu Jue wasn’t pursuing the matter further, Gu Zilan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Uncle was indeed in a good mood today.

He walked over to the sofa, sat down, and picked up the coffee brought by the White Tiger, "Uncle, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

Gu Jue shifted his gaze from the documents.

"Speak," he said.

Gu Zilan continued, "Actually, those princes have been quite restless. I only have Ruanruan as a child, and she really likes Mecha combat. Her temperament isn’t quite suited for being the Crown Prince."

"Ruanruan is still young," said Gu Jue.

"I understand my daughter. She prefers a good fight over managing a planet," insisted Gu Zilan.

The little girl, only a few years old, had once encountered an assassination attempt by a resistance force. She directly used a children’s Mecha to knock the assailants down!

Of course, this might also have something to do with her Beast Transformation state.

She looks cute, but she is actually ferocious!

Gu Jue, eager to finish his work early and go home to his beloved wife, frowned, "What are you trying to say?"

Gu Zilan proposed, "Uncle, what I mean is, let Xiaochen and Ruanruan undergo Crown Prince training together. Of course, he’s too young now, so we can start after he turns three."

"In the future, once they have grown up, whoever is most suited to manage this planet can take the throne," he added.

Gu Zilan treated Uncle Gu Jue as a family member, but he was wary of the restless princes, even though they all shared the Gu Family bloodline.

Gu Zilan knew if Xiaochen eventually took the throne, he would be very good to his descendants.

Uncle Gu Jue and his offspring were the true family of Gu Zilan.

If someone else took the position, the first thing they would do would be to deal with Gu Zilan and his lineage.

After hearing this, Gu Jue’s expression remained neutral; he himself had no interest in the throne whatsoever.

"This isn’t my decision to make; I’ll have to discuss it with Wanwan when I get home," he said.

Gu Zilan nodded, understanding. He didn’t even think it was wrong for his uncle to want to consult Su Wan before making a decision.

Gu Zilan had seen from a young age that his father, the Emperor, also consulted his mother, the Empress, when dealing with matters.

It seemed that certain traits of the Gu Family men were, in fact, hereditary.

After wrapping up official business, Commander Gu charged home like an arrow longing for the bow, expecting to see his sweet wife cooking for him with an apron tied around her waist, but instead...

White Tiger: "Master, the lady is in the children’s room with the little young master."

Commander Gu didn’t really want to send his treasure off to be the Crown Prince.

Because once it was determined that he was to be Crown Prince, he would have to start learning many things from a young age.

Even though Gu Jue could pass on his knowledge and skills directly to him, he still had a lot to learn.

But now, Gu Jue suddenly felt that, since his son was a Super Beastman, it wouldn’t be bad to start learning more things earlier.

Next to the children’s room, Su Wan had a large swimming pool constructed after having the neighboring room opened up.

Rocks and plants were arranged on the side, while the ceiling was decorated with a virtual starry sky.

Ever since she evolved the golden mermaid tail, Su Wan enjoyed swimming even more, so she had this indoor swimming pool built.

Little Gu Chen really wanted to accompany Mommy, but he wasn’t very good at swimming.

So he could only... doggy paddle.

"Hahaha."

Su Wan laughed loudly. Seeing the little guy instantly pouting his lips in grievance, she tried hard to suppress her laughter.

She said, "Ha, alright, Xiaochen, Mommy’s not laughing anymore, Xiaochen swims really well! Haha."

Zi Zi: "..."

He didn’t quite believe Mommy’s praise!

When Gu Jue walked in, he saw this scene: his lovely wife’s beautiful golden fish tail flicking lightly in the clear water. She would sometimes dive to the bottom and then break the surface.

Her dark hair, like satin, was soft and glossy.

Water droplets splashing on her fair skin looked like wandering pearls.

Of course, there was one serious flaw in this beautiful scene, which was the baby with a pair of wolf ears beside her, doggy paddling in a very comical manner.

Splash, splash.

Su Wan emerged from the water, propping herself on the edge of the pool, and looked at Commander Gu with sparkling eyes, excitedly saying, "Ajue, do you want to come down for a swim?"

Gu Jue glanced at his son, who was doggy paddling not far away.

He pursed his lips, "No, come here for a minute, I have something important to discuss with you."

"It’s about, the Crown Prince."

Su Wan was startled, not understanding what the Crown Prince had to do with them.

But since Gu Jue said so, it must be an important matter.

She immediately turned to her baby and said, "Xiaochen, if you like, you can keep swimming, Mommy will be right back."

The little wolf-eared baby obediently watched Mommy leave and then quickly jumped ashore, vigorously shaking the water off his ears and tail.

O(╥﹏╥)o, he didn’t really like water.

On the other side, Su Wan changed her clothes, returned to her legs, and found Commander Gu sitting at her writing desk looking at a Beastman anatomy chart.

This type of color-printed Beastman anatomy chart was very rare and also recorded an especially large variety of Beastmen.

It was considered a collector’s edition.

Just as Su Wan had been looking at it the last time, the page it was opened to was describing the anatomy of canine Beastmen.

She immediately went over, closed the book, and hurriedly explained, "I was doing it for the baby’s sake, so I planned to study it more, to learn a bit more. After all, learning never ends, right?"

Gu Jue: "There’s no need to look at the flat ones; we have three-dimensional ones."

Su Wan’s gaze subconsciously swept across the white shirt on his body. She promptly cleared her throat awkwardly twice, "We can talk about that later. Ajue, didn’t you mention you had something to say about the Crown Prince? What does the Crown Prince have to do with us?"
