Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 658: Is a Marriage Alliance the Most Solid?

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Is a Marriage Alliance the Most Solid?

In light of this, there is a great possibility that the Insect God will not accept Freya. Although the two Insect Clans not joining forces is a good thing for their Landis Star, considering from another perspective... could it be that this Insect God simply does not understand matters of affection?

Su Wan suddenly asked, "Ajue, you’ve dealt with the Insect God several times, how old do you think he is?"

"If he was just born the time we went to the Insect Nest, then he wouldn’t be more than twenty. But in reality, having interacted with him a few times, I feel this person has too deep a mind, with heavy thoughts and very rich experiences. Age... It must be very, very old. Unlike the Beastmen and even different from ordinary Insectoids, his age is impossible to estimate."

Su Wan: "..."

Great, the more I learn about this Insect God, the less suitable he seems for Xiaoyan!

Gu Jue sensed that his wife was frequently distracted today, he glanced up and asked, "Wanwan, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine." Su Wan leaned over and snuggled into Gu Jue’s embrace, she said, "Whether the Insect God chooses to join forces with Freya or not will affect the course of power in the entire Universe, right?"

"Indeed, that’s so. However, Xiaochen is also in contact with the Insect God now. If the Insect God does indeed join forces with Freya, then we might have to make several contingencies."

Su Wan nodded silently.

With this, the situation in the Universe looks less than optimistic.

But then again, ever since I was born, it seems the entire Universe has always been in a state of conflict.

There’s an old saying from Ancient Earth that fits well here, "Where there are people, there will be ’rivers and lakes’."

Right now, Gu Chen, just as his parents said, had been very busy and working until late at night, so he almost always stayed in the Imperial Palace.

Logically speaking, he should have moved into the Imperial Palace a long time ago.

But the Imperial Palace was too big. It felt too spacious for one person, and although he knew that he might have to live there for a long time in the future, Gu Chen still wanted to live with his family before he got married.

Just that...

He sighed softly, "I originally thought my journey of affection would be very smooth."

Without affection, there is no stirring of the heart; but once the heart is moved, one ought to achieve fruition with their beloved.

Azure Dragon: "Master, it’s not your fault. Back when I followed the old master, his journey in love was also very rough. It took many years before he finally got together with your mother."

Gu Chen’s lips twitched, "Old master? Azure Dragon, you’ve also become bad."

Azure Dragon let out a profound sigh, "It’s probably because I’ve been getting too close to that White Tiger guy recently. It looks like I need to maintain some distance. But you really shouldn’t lose heart, master. Look, back then Princess Gu Ruanruan also took a long time before she found her true soulmate."

Gu Chen thought about Gu Ruanruan and her husband Lin Rui, who had also faced many setbacks before they came together.

And up to now, there were still many troublesome matters.

Not to mention the trials and tribulations faced by Gu Chen’s parents...

With a year left until the next Manic-Depressive Period, within this year, I can shift my focus even more onto my work.

Gu Chen glanced at the virtual screen displaying documents and, after some thought, dialed a communication number.

It was the middle of the night.

But, Gu Chen believed that the other party would not have rested yet and would pick up his call.

Sure enough, after a few rings, the communication was connected and the other side’s voice was very cold.

"Gu Chen? What do you want with me?"

"I want to ask you if you’ve cooperated with Freya."

At the other end of the communication was Bai Li, who hadn’t slept for several days and nights, and didn’t feel tired, because even in his usual state of sleep, his consciousness remained awake.

However, when Gu Chen asked him straight out, Bai Li was silent for a few seconds before responding, "Why should I cooperate with her?"

Gu Chen said, "Freya thinks that since you are both from the Insect Clan, a strong alliance can dominate the Universe."

Bai Li said, "Unilaterally dominating a universe isn’t difficult; I’ve tried it before, but over time, the civilization within that Universe simply vanished."

Bai Li’s statement carried a significant amount of information.

Gu Chen immediately seized on the key point, "Just how old are you? Have you lived through many universes?"

Bai Li said, "That’s not important. What is important is that I quite like this Universe now, and I do not wish for its civilization to disappear."

Gu Chen was silent for a long time, his heart filled with shock, until he was left with just one comment, "If you reject Freya, she might choose to cooperate with the group from the Universe Alliance."

"So, by that time, it’ll be necessary for Landis Star and I to join forces to protect the civilization of this Universe."

This level of discourse was too high for Gu Chen, who, even though he had considered dominating the Universe, had not thought about it so profoundly.

Gu Chen: "Aren’t you worried that I might also wish to dominate the Universe?"

Bai Li: "Not worried, because if that day ever comes, you won’t slaughter the innocent, nor let the Universe’s civilization perish. And there’s one more most critical reason..."

"What is it?"

"You Gu Family members have lines you won’t cross and a sense of humanity."

The reason Bai Li initially chose to cooperate with Landis Star was precisely because he had spent a lot of time with the Gu Family. Although he was in the form of a mushroom, he clearly understood the nature of the Gu Family members.

Gu Chen also felt the Insect God’s trust in him and Landis Star, especially the part about the Gu Family having lines they wouldn’t cross and a sense of humanity, which pleased him greatly, making the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.

"Then, Insect God, let our continued collaboration be a pleasant one!"

"Agreed."

After the communication ended, Bai Li looked at his light computer. Having just been in touch with Gu Chen, he didn’t know why, but he suddenly wanted to hear Xiaoyan’s voice.

But... it was too late now; best not to disturb Xiaoyan’s rest.

Once he resolved the current troubles, he could return to Xiaoyan’s side sooner.

On the other hand, Gu Chen, having ended his conversation with the Insect God, was in a fairly good mood. If they could maintain this relationship with the Insect God, that would be ideal.

After all, Gu Chen had no desire to cooperate with the fools of the Universe Alliance, who also had no credibility to speak of.

As for the Insect Queen Freya, who had suddenly appeared, it’s better to forget that idea. Gu Chen had only met her once and had deemed her untrustworthy.

The most perfect approach would be to continue the alliance with the Insect God.

Now the question was whether the Insect God’s reasoning to protect the civilization of this Universe was secure or not...

"Azure Dragon, what do you think we should do to make our alliance more firm and stable?"

Azure Dragon was silent for a few seconds, likely searching for data. It had to be said that sometimes Azure Dragon really didn’t have as extensive a database as White Tiger.

But at least it wasn’t as noisy as White Tiger.

After a few seconds, Azure Dragon found the most optimal answer among all the possibilities.

"Matrimony."
