Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 660 He has someone he likes now?

Ji Mu was thriving in Empire University, enjoying his days as an exchange student to the fullest.

When Bai Li suddenly departed, he only heard it was arranged by Xi Le. Thinking about it, it made sense, since Bai Li was after all Xi Le’s illegitimate child.

Moreover, to some extent, Ji Mu was quite optimistic about Bai Li’s relationship with Gu Yan.

Now, with Bai Li gone and seeing groups of boys fluttering around Gu Yan like butterflies, clustering and even confessing to her, he felt incredibly frustrated.

Then, turning around, he sent all of this to Bai Li’s light brain!

Bai Li was sitting in the black high-backed chair of the central control room of the starship, his hand barely supporting his forehead, and his eyes, usually indifferent and devoid of any emotion, watched the large screen without joy or sorrow.

The beautiful woman at the center of the large screen was also frowning at this moment.

"I don’t understand why you won’t agree to collaborate with me. Our goals are the same, the continuation of the Insect Clan’s species and its strength! Yes, we are Insect Clan from two different species, but no matter what, we are closer to each other, at least much closer than the Beastman and Plantman!"

"Fundamentally, we are both evolutions of humanity. We may be somewhat close, but that’s not a reason for us to cooperate."

"So what will it take for you to agree to cooperate? I think that together, we can definitely breed a more superior Insect Clan!"

Bai Li’s eyelids lifted slightly, "That’s where our Insect Clan falls short compared to the Beastman. For the sake of reproducing outstanding offspring, you would pair with anyone, but the Insectoid and Plantman will choose for love."

Over the years, Bai Li had compared and found that the culture of this universe was the best legacy from Ancient Earth and was his favorite.

Not to mention, his one rebirth was somehow connected to this universe.

A flicker of nostalgia filled Bai Li’s cool eyes.

Although the result of that connection was him being devoured by a wormhole while trying to save someone.

However, the Freya on the screen was shocked, her beautiful eyes widening, "For love? Don’t tell me you’ve found someone you like?"

Bai Li’s eyebrows paused briefly.

Did he have someone he liked?

Was it the kind of liking that one called love?

The image of a delicate and pretty face flashed through his mind. She was occasionally demure and coquettish, occasionally lively and delightful. She wasn’t afraid when facing danger, but sometimes she would cry like a pear blossom bathed in rain.

A very magical girl.

The one he had been protecting as she grew up.

Was that love?

Seeing that he had drifted off again, the Freya on the screen let out a cold laugh, "Stop joking, our Insect Clan doesn’t need superfluous feelings like love! We only need to know how to become more powerful, how to make our species stronger, that’s enough!"

"Then why did you abandon your original universe to come here? Freya, I’ve experienced more than you, dominated an entire universe, and once that ends, you will before long embark on a new journey."

A numb, uninteresting, mechanical cycle.

Freya fell silent again.

She could accept the Insect God being aloof, looking down on her and her Insect Clan, wishing to fight alone in this universe.

But she couldn’t accept this kind of attitude from him.

In other universes, Freya had seen Insect Gods as powerful as him, cold as machines, able to obliterate a planet with a wave of their hand.

But the one before her now... it was unclear, he didn’t seem much like those Insect Gods at all!

Grinding her teeth, Freya said, "Aren’t you worried that I’ll collaborate with others?"

Bai Li uttered a sound of contemplation. He said, "There is some concern. If you partnered with Landis Star, it could become a bit troublesome for me."

Freya: "..."

She had unilaterally ended the call. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Form an alliance with Landis Star? Did they think she hadn’t considered that?

In fact, when she received the olive branch from the Universe Alliance, Freya had sent people to contact Landis Star.

All the forces in this universe had matured, and after investigating in various aspects, Freya came to a conclusion—she needed to ally with the most powerful force.

The Insect Clan on the Insect God’s side was her optimal target for an alliance, followed by Landis Star.

However...

Landis Star had decisively rejected her!

On this end, after ending the call with Freya, Bai Li looked down, saw the message Ji Mu had sent on the quantum computer.

His usually tranquil eyes grew deeper.

A violent mood was spreading through the air.

Xi Le had just come in and shivered. Seeing Bai Li getting up to leave, he steeled his nerves and ventured to ask, "Sir, are you going out? Landis Star’s army will arrive tomorrow morning, and Commander Gu Jue himself is leading the team."

"I will be back tomorrow morning."

"Yes..."

Xi Le watched Bai Li leave with a complex look in his eyes—did this mean he would disappear for an entire night?

An entire night was enough time to do many things, but what the Insect God was going to do, Xi Le didn’t dare to ask.

Bai Li also possessed spatial superpowers, so when the spaceship approached Landis Star, he didn’t need to land, as he had already teleported through space to Commander Gu’s residence.

At this time, Gu Yan had indeed returned home, but it was not yet time for dinner. She was in her room, talking to someone.

"An Ancient Earth cultural interest club? Sure, that works. Okay, I’ve signed up; we can talk more at school tomorrow."

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

"Mhm, goodbye Mu Ke."

After ending the communication, Gu Yan’s lips slightly curled up—she had decided to meet more people and expand her horizons.

Besides, she had always enjoyed studying Ancient Earth culture. This club seemed interesting, and it was said there would be chances to come into contact with many artifacts left from Ancient Earth.

Bai Li just stood there, watching Gu Yan cheerfully communicating with a male classmate... that Mu Ke had a man’s voice; he must be a male classmate.

His gaze grew even darker.

It was the smart AI Xiaofu that reacted, sensing an unusual data fluctuation in the room. It now had a mechanical body with wings, similar to White Tiger and Vermilion Bird’s, only a size smaller.

Xiaofu immediately looked around alertly, "Master, something seems to have come in!"

The next moment, it was about to press the alarm.

Gu Yan looked up to see the tight-lipped Bai Li, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly stopped Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, there’s no need to alert others; Brother Little Mushroom has come!"

As Gu Yan’s artificial intelligence, Xiaofu was loyal only to Gu Yan, and naturally, it was aware of Brother Little Mushroom’s existence.

But the premise was, this Brother Little Mushroom would not harm its master, Gu Yan.

Under the condition that this premise was fulfilled, Xiaofu would, of course, keep the secret for its master, so it immediately stopped the alarm and then settled down obediently in one corner, like an especially well-behaved parrot.

Gu Yan was already happily running towards Bai Li, "When did you get here?"
