Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 760: Xiaoyan, Are You Afraid of Me?

Of course, I should answer!

Gu Yan perked up in an instant, rubbed her eyes, and immediately got up. On the virtual screen appeared Bai Li, still in his crisp uniform.

The silver buttons were all neatly fastened, right up to the Adam’s apple.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, had her collar slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin. She had just lain down, her long hair a bit disheveled, conveying a lazy and sweet charm.

Bai Li clenched his fist slightly and said, "Did I wake you?"

"No, no, Brother Little Mushroom, what happened to the signal just now? Was there an attack on your side?"

"Yeah, but the fight is over now, and it’s rest time."

"Oh, good."

"Xiaoyan, you wanted to ask about Freya earlier, let me tell you now."

It was Gu Yan’s bedtime now, and her biological clock made her yawn continuously, her eyes teary, looking adorable.

She hugged her pillow and said, "Mhm, go ahead."

Seeing Gu Yan hugging the pillow, Bai Li wanted to embrace the soft, sweet charmer in the camera in his arms.

He chose his words carefully, trying not to frighten the young girl in front of him.

"Freya previously wanted to merge with our tribe, but she betrayed me, and during that time they also gathered a lot of weaknesses of our tribe. Later, I found out she had defected to the Universe Alliance."

"Before, they even tried to break someone out of prison."

Gu Yan blinked, nodding, "I know about this, it’s that person with the Spatial Superpower, he even planned to kill Vivian and Aunt Julie, thankfully at that time my Superpower upgraded!"

Listening to the pride in the young girl’s voice, Bai Li nodded, "Yes, the Insectoid with the Spatial Superpower, he’s one of Freya’s subordinates. When I learned about what she had done, I launched an extermination against her and her tribe."

"Extermination?"

"Right, I can connect to the brains of all the Insectoids in my tribe. If any of them betray me, I can instantly exterminate them. When Freya first came to me with the pretense of allegiance, I gave her this condition. Perhaps at the time she didn’t believe that I could do it."

After hearing this, Gu Yan became fully alert, not the slightest bit sleepy anymore!

She widened her eyes, "So, you mean you wiped out Freya and her entire tribe?"

"Yes, because they were about to become a main force in the Alliance Army. Insectoids have an advantage when they go to war because they are more in sync than Beastmen. Since they were going to be the enemy of us and Landis Star, the only option was to eliminate them."

After Bai Li finished speaking, he carefully observed Gu Yan, and when he was sure she didn’t look frightened, he slightly relaxed.

He had no clue that this kind of cautious sentiment had not arisen in him for hundreds of years.

"Xiaoyan, aren’t you afraid of me after hearing this?"

"Ah, why should I be afraid of you?"

This time it was Bai Li’s turn to be stunned.

Gu Yan softly said, "You mean about you having Freya and her tribe wiped out? It’s like war, either you die or I perish. Plus, you have so many people behind you. You didn’t kill them for yourself."

Bai Li looked at her intently, "No, part of the reason was for myself."

"What?"

"Freya had awakened a new Superpower. Originally, as an Insect Queen, she was already highly fertile. Many in her tribe were her offspring. Then she evolved, her reproduction became akin to cloning, and then... she came to me, using this as leverage."

Gu Yan was utterly shocked.

Because since childhood, she had primarily been in contact with Beastmen, and in matters of marriage, she was also influenced by them.

It was only in the past two years that I began to interact with Insectoids and Plantmen.

As for Freya’s idea, all she could feel was that it was just too crazy!

"You mean, if Freya were with you, she could have many strong offspring like you? Is she interested in you for the powerful descendants you can provide?"

Bai Li didn’t understand why Xiaoyan was focusing on this aspect.

But Gu Yan had caught on and said, "So, she’s not my rival in love; she doesn’t like you as a person but values your power, your authority?"

"One could say that."

Gu Yan completely relaxed; she blinked curiously and asked, "However, if someone were very ambitious for power, they should be very tempted by her proposal, right? Why didn’t you agree?"

"Because, in the entire Universe, only you, Gu Yan, have the right to bear my offspring."

Bai Li spoke with absolute seriousness.

Yet upon hearing this, Gu Yan’s face turned beet red!

They were just in a romantic relationship, still in the jealous and missing you phase, weren’t they? How did the conversation jump straight to having offspring!

"Having, having kids is still far off, right?"

Bai Li looked at Gu Yan’s rosy cheeks in the camera and nodded, "Yeah, no rush."

Because it was really late, and Gu Yan, remembering that Bai Li had just finished a battle and needed proper rest, stifled several yawns and claimed she was sleepy, implying that Bai Li too should rest early.

With a soft voice, Bai Li said, "Xiaoyan, if you have any doubts, just ask me directly, don’t overthink."

"Ok. Then, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

After the call ended, Gu Yan found herself unable to sleep; instead, she hugged her blanket and rolled around in bed.

Xiaofu was curious, "Master, are you happy or unhappy?"

"Of course, I’m happy. Brother Little Mushroom only has me in his heart."

Gu Yan felt incredibly lucky and blissful, cherished by her family and with a boyfriend who also had eyes only for her.

In the end, she fell asleep sweetly, hugging her blanket.

The next day at school, Gu Yan did not expect that Senior Jiang Tong, the one who had posted online, would actually come to find her.

"Senior, do you need something from me?"

"I want to apologize to Feng Hao in person for what he did, but no matter how I message him or try to set up a meeting, he won’t show up. I heard you’re on good terms with Plantmen, could you help me get in touch with Liu Jie?"

"Senior, I don’t want to get involved in your personal affairs."

"Oh, it’s not any personal affair, Liu Jie and I are just classmates. It’s all Feng Hao’s silly jealousy that got Liu Jie beaten up unjustly. Gu Yan, you wouldn’t want Beastmen and Plantmen to become enemies, would you? Remember, our two planets still have a cooperative relationship. Just be a mediator and arrange for Liu Jie to meet."

Gu Yan felt a bit troubled, but she also couldn’t outright refuse Jiang Tong.

She finally said, "Actually, I’m not that close with Liu Jie either. I’ll pass on the message for you, but whether he’s willing to meet you, I can’t guarantee."

"Once you speak up, he’ll definitely agree. Thank you so much, Gu Yan, I’ll wait for your good news!"

Watching Jiang Tong walk away, Vivian happened to pass by, only catching part of the conversation.

She slightly frowned, "Xiaoyan, is that person guilt-tripping you again?"
