Seeing her roommate stunned, Gu Yan smiled with pursed lips, "Don’t worry, they just have bad tempers when dealing with bad people. At home, they are all very nice."

Vivian, recalling the information she saw on the star network, was skeptical about Gu Yan’s claim that they were "very nice."

But temperament and character aside, Commander Gu, as the War God, had saved them all.

Without the Gu Family, they would not have been able to live and work in peace on Landis Star.

That afternoon, the two girls toured the campus without further incidents and then returned to the dormitory to select the courses for the semester.

Looking at the freshman schedule, Vivian said, "We’ll have military training in a week."

"Ah, right, military training."

As the one with the weakest spiritual power and physical stamina in the family, Gu Yan was somewhat worried; her personal profile had been changed from pure human to Plantman.

Still, most Plantman did not have good physical stamina, much like pure humans.

But Plantman had long lifespans too. In terms of physical stamina and spiritual power, they were similar to pure humans, but in some aspects, they had advantages over pure humans.

Now there was a saying spreading throughout the Universe that pure humans were being phased out by the Universe, as the lowest type of humans.

No one knew where this saying originated from, but it had led some pure humans to start banding together... and along with Plantman who had always been opposing Beastman in the Universe.

Gu Yan thought about it and was sure things would get more chaotic in the future, so she might as well work hard to improve her physical stamina. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After waiting for a long while for a message from her brother, Gu Yu, Gu Yan said goodbye to her roommate. They agreed to go to class together early the next morning and then she waited on her family’s flyer at the school gate for Gu Yu.

It took a long time before she saw her brother pull open the flyer’s cabin door in an embarrassed state, then hurriedly close it again.

She noticed his school uniform was all disheveled.

Gu Yan was curious, "Little brother, what happened to you?"

"Those girls, they are really too terrifying. I told them I was going home, and they still clung to me, saying they wanted to teach me how to do experiments hands-on!"

Gu Yan: "..."

Gu Yan wanted to laugh but held it back. She looked at her brother’s handsome face. Actually, among the three siblings, the one with the most delicate features was her little brother.

After all, the Mermaid Clan had always been outstanding in terms of appearance.

Gu Yu covered his face sullenly, "I am clearly very competent, why do they only see my face!"

Seeing her little brother so frustrated, Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Why don’t you ask Uncle Andrew to make you a mask that can change too?"

Gu Yu’s eyes immediately lit up!

That’s right! Andrew was a senior Mech Master. He was originally their mother, Su Wan’s Mecha Teacher, and later even made custom masks for Gu Jue and Su Wan.

Afterward, when that mask was no longer needed, even if the technology was outdated, it was still kept.

Having found a solution, Gu Yu was no longer so gloomy. The siblings went home and, as it happened, their mother Su Wan and father Gu Jue had just returned from the military department on a flyer.

Looking at her children, Su Wan gently said, "Today was your first day of school, how was it?"

Gu Yan cheerfully said, "Mom, I feel awesome! I also met a new friend; she’s my roommate. Her name is Vivian, a rabbit Beastman, and she’s really nice, though a bit timid! We even made plans to go to class together tomorrow!"

Su Wan had been worried that her daughter, who had few female playmates since childhood, might become isolated at school, with most of the kids in the family being boys.

Having received a video from her daughter’s dormitory earlier, and now hearing her speak this way, Su Wan felt reassured that her daughter was adapting well to school life.

However, her younger son beside her looked dejected, his fin-like ears drooping.

"Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?" she asked.

"Mom, it’s nothing," he replied.

Gu Yan chuckled and covered her mouth, "Mom, you have no idea. Little brother is so popular with the girls at school, he gets mobbed all the time."

Surprised, Su Wan turned to her son, who was rubbing his handsome face, and he said, "They’re so annoying. I just wanted to attend Professor Lan Yu’s class to observe the sophomore dissection, but the upperclassmen girls stopped dissecting and just stared at me with their scalpels. Because of that, the class couldn’t proceed, and Professor Lan Yu had to kick me out..."

Su Wan tried to contain her laughter at her son’s downcast expression—it was hard when she was a respected elder he trusted and cared about so deeply.

"Xiaoyu, this isn’t your fault," she said.

"I know, Mom. That’s why I want to ask Uncle Andrew to make me a mask. Can I?"

"Of course, you can."

Gu Yu immediately turned around and eagerly started contacting Andrew.

During the mother and children’s conversation, Gu Jue didn’t join in. Every time he came home, he would first spend some time in his study. Gu Yan, clinging to her mother as they walked back, said, "Mom, are you going to celebrate our school opening today by cooking us a feast?"

"Yes, I’ve just had a fresh batch of fruits and vegetables delivered from the base, so I had some sent to our house. And starting from today, you and Xiaoyu are grown-ups."

Su Wan made sure her children experienced these significant moments over the years.

In her earlier years, she had somewhat neglected the children due to her career. They were so well-behaved and understanding that it pained her, so she wanted to make it up to them more.

Gu Yan nodded eagerly, "I can’t wait. I wonder when big brother will come home today. Let’s wait for him and have dinner together."

When Su Wan heard this, she pointed upstairs and said, "Xiaochen is already home, but he’s not in a good mood today. Why don’t you go up and talk to your big brother?"

Gu Yan was startled, "He’s in a bad mood? Why?"

"The council wants him to get married and establish an Empress."

"..."

On Landis Star, the Gu Family still held absolute power, both politically and militarily.

Especially now that Gu Chen had ascended to the throne, while the military power remained in the hands of his father, Gu Jue. In essence, the supreme authority lay within the hands of their family.

However, the council, composed of various departments and nobles, also had a certain degree of power, albeit under the father and son of the Gu Family.

They had no ulterior motives and genuinely wanted what was best for Landis Star. Since Gu Chen had been of age for many years and had firmly secured his position as emperor, they had started fussing over him to marry soon.

Of course, if the chosen Empress happened to be a daughter from one of their families, that would be the best outcome for them.
