Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 712: Spoil Her to Death

Lucifer was silent for a while before he suddenly started to laugh.

He sighed and said, "Su Wan, even after you became a Commander, I still saw you as the woman hiding behind Gu Jue. I couldn’t kill you many times, one because you were lucky, and the other is that you had so many people protecting you, especially Gu Jue, and even the long-deceased Queen Gaia. She chose you as her successor, passing on that incredibly useful superpower to you."

"But now I understand that you are actually very powerful, and your strength is unparalleled."

Sometimes, a person’s strength is not simply judged by their combat power.

On the screen, Su Wan’s image remained calm and collected.

She asked, "So Lucifer, what is your answer?"

Lucifer gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps in the future, I will still desire freedom, but for now, I have no other choice but to agree to your terms."

Su Wan’s lips curved slightly upward, "Good, it’s a deal."

How Lucifer would arrange things with the other Star Thieves was of no concern to Su Wan; as she organized people to pick up Lucifer and his family, she told her husband and his family about it.

"I will go to Ancient Earth to search for Vivian’s soul, and I will take Lucifer’s sister Moran with me, as she has more experience."

Gu Jue: "I will go with you."

Su Wan shook her head, "You can’t go; you must stay. With the situation being so tense, you are the linchpin of Landis Star."

Gu Chen opened his mouth to speak.

But before he could say anything,

Su Wan said decisively, "Xiaochen, you are just like your father; neither of you can go. The reason is the same, and I think I don’t need to spell it out for you to understand."

Between Gu Jue and Gu Chen, father and son, one managed internal affairs and the other managed external matters.

Whichever of them would go to Ancient Earth at this time, if other forces in the universe chose that moment to act against Landis Star, it could have a significant impact.

Su Wan said softly, "Although Lucifer is willing to sacrifice himself to save his daughter and willingly enter the Interstellar Prison, his character is not that great. He might sell this information to our adversaries when the time comes." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gu Jue: "But we are not at ease with just you and Moran going."

"Exactly, Mom, we’re not comfortable with that."

At that moment, Gu Yu, who was sitting beside them reading experimental data, looked up and said, "Mom, let me go with you. Even though my combat power isn’t as high as my father’s and brother’s, I can burn them with fire when necessary!"

Gu Yu had no desire to be a Star Warrior; he had always been engrossed in medical research.

Yet his Fire Element Superpower was formidable.

Gu Yan sat there, biting her lip as she watched her family. She only had a bit of spatial superpower but wanted to help her mother too.

"Mom, can you manage taking just the two of them to Ancient Earth alone? Or else, let me go too, I can help with transporting people!"

It would indeed be strenuous for Su Wan to take two people to Ancient Earth and back.

And if Xiaoyan went, the family would worry about her too.

However, Su Wan looked at her daughter and suddenly asked, "Xiaoyan, have you been able to contact Bai Li recently?"

Xiaoyan, who was about to have a date with Bai Li, blushed, "Yes, I can, I can contact him."

"Then you tell him you’re coming with me to Ancient Earth, and ask if he wants to come along."

"Okay, got it."

The Third Elder of the Gu Family looked puzzled, not quite understanding why Su Wan would say this, but neither Gu Chen nor Gu Yu asked, and it wasn’t until Gu Jue returned to the bedroom at night that he furrowed his brows and said, "Wanwan, why do you want Xiaoyan to call for the Insect God?"

Su Wan replied, "Taking Moran and Xiaoyu to Ancient Earth alone does carry certain risks. With Xiaoyan joining us, indeed, traveling through space won’t be much of a problem. But then I started to worry about Xiaoyan. And Bai Li... he sneaked Xiaoyan to Ancient Earth before."

Upon hearing this, the old father Gu Jue immediately became upset!

The thought of that annoying old Insect God, who had started to approach Xiaoyan many years ago and even secretly took their precious daughter out several times without their knowledge, aggravated him.

It was a good thing that Gu Jue was a powerful Beastman with a strong body, or else he would definitely have had a heart attack from the old Insect God’s actions!

Su Wan patted her husband’s back soothingly, "Ajue, our Xiaoyan really likes that old Insect God. So, I want to give our daughter a hand. After all, from what I understand, Bai Li has never had a woman by his side all these years, and he is willing to try for Xiaoyan. Didn’t we agree before that as long as it’s someone the children like and who genuinely cares for them, we won’t obstruct their choice of partner in the future? When you and I got together, your family didn’t obstruct us, right?"

Gu Jue responded, "... That’s different. I won’t object to whoever Xiaochen and Xiaoyu choose as their wives in the future. In other words, even if Xiaochen wanted to be with that Vivian, I wouldn’t object."

"Don’t worry about that, Xiaochen is very sensible. He just wants to help Vivian and cure her illness, he won’t consider marrying her."

"I know, I’m just giving an example. But it’s different with Xiaoyan. Look at Zilan’s attitude towards his daughter Ruanruan. Even when Ruanruan’s Combat Power was very strong and she was an honor student at the military academy, Zilan still couldn’t stop worrying about his daughter, could he?"

The men of the Gu Family are extremely doting on their wives.

And they love their daughters immensely.

In their eyes, sons can be raised without much fuss, but daughters need to be cherished and pampered.

Not to mention, Xiaoyan’s physical condition is frail. Even though she is much healthier now than when she was a child, as her old father, how could Gu Jue be at ease?

It took a good deal of soothing from Su Wan before Commander Gu was finally pacified.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan took the initiative to send a message to Bai Li, mentioning the matter.

To Bai Li, this wasn’t a big deal. He was just unsure of the significance behind Su Wan’s actions.

But one thing was clear: doing this would definitely not be harmful to Xiaoyan.

Bai Li: Xiaoyan, do you want me to accompany you?

Gu Yan: Mhm, you are very strong. I’m worried I can’t protect mom by myself. I hope you can come... to protect us together, is that okay?

Gu Yan felt a bit embarrassed as she made this plea for protection.

But she didn’t regret it.

After all, they were dating, boyfriend and girlfriend. Saying this shouldn’t be a problem... right?

Bai Li, looking at the message from the young girl, felt a warm sensation at the tips of his heart from being needed. The usually cold depths of his eyes were also suffused with a touch of tenderness.

Bai Li: Okay.

Whatever other implications Su Wan had in bringing up this matter, from Bai Li’s perspective, as long as it was something Xiaoyan wanted him to do, he was willing to satisfy her.

As Bai Li set aside his light computer, on another page appeared a message from Ji Mu, offering love advice to the Lord Insect God.

Ji Mu: Actually, dating isn’t that complicated, just spoil her to death!
