Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 698: The CP I was shipping suddenly broke up?
Gu Jue understood his wife’s meaning.
Their Gu Family was not only the most powerful family on Landis Star but even in the entire Universe.
One could say that it was their place to be choosy about others, and nobody else had the qualification or the courage to be picky about them.
However, this Bai Li...
Gu Jue pursed his lips, "I’ve fought Bai Li before. If it were a one-on-one fight, I might not lose to him. However, he has one particular skill."
Su Wan asked, "Is it that thing he did when he interrogated those Insect Clan members who betrayed him?"
Gu Jue nodded, "Yes, psychic soul connection. Once the psychic soul connection is established, all Insectoids of his race will follow his commands completely."
One man, one legion — at this time, uniformly aligned.
This was the most difficult to deal with.
Su Wan visualized the scene, with tens of thousands of Insect Clan members attacking in unison. She nodded and said, "Indeed, from this point of view, perhaps Bai Li has always been curious about us Beastmen, or about Landis Star, which is why he has drawn close to us."
They finally found an answer that was easier for them to accept.
Yet they still felt an underlying displeasure.
Fortunately, Gu Yan actually knew that she had caused trouble this time, deceiving her parents and family for so long. After returning to school, she attended her classes obediently, and her circle of friends started growing.
At the same time, every time the Flower Butterfly, Ji Mu, came looking for Gu Yan, she always found an excuse not to meet him.
After numerous occasions, Ji Mu became wary.
Now that Lord Insect God had returned to the planet, he was one of the few who knew that Gu Yan was very important to Lord Insect God.
Gu Yan’s repeated avoidance of him — could it be that her relationship with Lord Insect God was in crisis?
This won’t do!
So, one afternoon, Ji Mu directly confronted Gu Yan just after class. His handsome face showed a pitiful expression.
"Gu Yan, did I offend you somehow? Why have you been avoiding me lately?"
Ji Mu was actually very popular at Empire University, mainly because he was good-looking and articulate, quickly becoming favored by many female students.
Of course, that group of boys from the Military Academy always found him displeasing to the eye.
Now, with him speaking so openly to Gu Yan with words that could easily be misconstrued, people around them began to look over.
Gu Yan felt a bit helpless, "I’m not avoiding you."
Ji Mu, with his handsome face looking pitiful, said, "I send you messages and you don’t reply, then when I ask you out, you keep saying you’re busy. Isn’t that avoiding me?"
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched, and she looked around, "Stop talking nonsense, I am truly busy studying. The final exams are coming up, I need to review properly."
"Alright then, I’ll study with you."
"No need!"
One was refusing, and the other was insistently badgering. As more and more people started gathering around them, Gu Yan grew increasingly frustrated. Finally, she decisively strode to the side and turned into the Medical School building.
Ji Mu followed to the entrance but stopped in his tracks.
He remembered, Gu Yan’s little brother who played with fire, was from the Medical School.
It seemed he couldn’t continue following her for the time being.
While interacting with people around him, Ji Mu also sent messages to Gu Yan.
Ji Mu: Gu Yan, did I do something to upset you?
Ji Mu: Even if you’re going to sentence me to death, shouldn’t you tell me what crime I committed?
Ji Mu: My heart is in so much pain.
Gu Yan saw the messages he sent and her mouth twitched. Where was this a butterfly? He was clearly a drama king!
Gu Yan knew all too well that she was somewhat misdirecting her anger, since Ji Mu hadn’t done anything wrong.
It was just that seeing him would remind her of Bai Li, hence she was reluctant to talk much with Ji Mu.
She thought it over and still returned a message to Ji Mu.
Gu Yan: It’s not because of you, it’s because I had an argument with Bai Li.
Gu Yan: For the time being, you’d better not show up in front of me. I’m afraid I might take my anger out on you.
Ji Mu: ...
As he looked at the message on his photon brain, he was suddenly shocked, feeling the astonishment of a couple he shipped suddenly breaking up!
They were fine, so how did they suddenly get into a fight?
Thinking this, he hurriedly asked what had happened, but when he tried to send another message, a prompt appeared indicating the message failed to send.
"Did she block me?" Ji Mu held his photon brain in astonishment and immediately felt that things had escalated badly!
No, this won’t do!
He had to quickly ask Lord Insect God what exactly had happened!
After blocking Ji Mu, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief on this end.
Although Ji Mu was innocent, she had made up her mind that to distance herself from Bai Li, she had to be decisive.
Just friends?
No, no, no, ever since she realized that she had special expectations for Bai Li, and that the other party would not reciprocate, she had to completely eradicate her own thoughts.
Indecision wasn’t in her nature.
And besides, having agreed to give up, to act like they still were just friends?
That would make it even harder to bear, wouldn’t it?
Gu Yan didn’t want to disappoint her family anymore. So, she thought it best to break off all contact completely and hoped that with time, things would get better.
Taking a deep breath and seeing her cousin Gu Yu coming toward her, Gu Yan lowered her gaze and finally blocked Bai Li’s contact method as well.
Gu Yu paused, "Xiaoyan, what brings you here?"
Clutching her books, Gu Yan said, "I was just a little worried about Vivian. Big brother, have you made any new progress in your research?"
"Actually, yes. I’ve looked into many cases caused by spatial superpowers and found a possibility: Soul Deficiency Syndrome..."
Soul Deficiency Syndrome.
It’s a particularly nasty side effect of spatial superpowers on people.
That was the case with Lucifer’s father, and then with him; they both had this impact on their daughters.
At this moment, Lucifer was still ’visiting’ on the Insectoid Planet, and Xi Le was quite courteous to him.
"Is Lord Insect God available today?"
Xi Le shook his head, "I’m sorry, but our lord has been very busy these past few days."
"I saw that Freya had brought people over. Are your two Insect Clans going to form an alliance?"
Xi Le still smiled, "That depends on the decision of Lord Insect God. We only need to obey and act accordingly."
After many years of dealing, Xi Le has been someone who speaks and acts without giving anything away.
Otherwise, having once been loyal to Doris, he was later able to gain the trust of the Insect God, which shows that he is not a simple character.
Lucifer also was familiar with him.
Though an Insectoid, he was as cunning as a fox.
Anxiety was evident in his expression; the longer the delay, the less optimistic the situation with Vivian would be.
Yet, this Insect God really left Lucifer feeling helpless and at a loss, with no idea where to start.
After thinking for a bit, he stood up and said, "I’ll go find Doris."
Xi Le: "Sure, go and find her."
Just as Lucifer was heading out, he came face to face with Su Man walking toward him.
