Chapter 820: Chapter 820: A Day in the Life of Gu Family’s Dog-Abuse and Sugar-Spreading 1

Landis Star is now evidently the most powerful planet in the entire universe.

Because Landis Star has the Chief Commander, Gu Jue, known as the War God.

Beastmen have a very long lifespan, and Gu Jue is such a powerful Star Warrior that, in theory, he could continue working for another 150 years without any problems.

But he decided not to.

Commander Gu has decided to retire early.

At just over sixty years old, Commander Gu is now looking for a successor to take over his position so he can retire early to spend more time with his wife, Su Wan.

Su Wan was a bit helpless about her husband’s idea, and she tried to persuade him, "Ajue, there’s no need to rush this. Even though the universe is peaceful now, there are still some conflicts in smaller areas."

"If they can’t handle these small conflicts, they’re not qualified to be Star Warriors."

"They can handle it, but your presence provides them with the same calming effect as the Calming Sea Divine Needle."

In fact, over the years, most of the time, Gu Jue hasn’t needed to lead the troops out himself. He stayed in the main city of Landis Star, serving as the Calming Sea Divine Needle.

As long as he was there,

everyone in Landis Star felt at ease.

This is also why Gu Jue holds such a high status in the entire universe, to the extent that they have even sculpted a statue of him in the fountain garden at the center of the port.

When he first learned about the statue, Gu Jue was very angry.

In the end, people realized that Gu Jue was not angry about the statue itself, but rather... that they hadn’t sculpted a statue of Su Wan beside his!

The person in charge of this project worked overtime, and finally, seven days later, Su Wan’s statue was completed, appeasing Commander Gu’s anger.

Despite Su Wan’s persuasion, Gu Jue still believed that he needed to find a suitable successor.

They have three children in total. The eldest, Gu Chen, is a Beastman from the Wolf Clan with electrical element superpowers and strong combat capability, but he’s passionate about governance and is now the king of Landis Star, so he naturally will not inherit Gu Jue’s position.

The second child, Gu Yu, is a Mermaid Beastman who also has superpowers, specifically, fire element superpowers, which are even more powerful in attack than his brother’s electrical element superpowers.

However, Gu Yu is entirely focused on medical research and has no interest in warfare or governance.

Oh, and he’s not interested in getting married either!

Lastly, there’s their youngest daughter, Gu Yan. Gu Jue originally never considered having his youngest daughter inherit his position. It requires someone with a character like Gu Ruanruan’s.

Speaking of which, Gu Ruanruan is indeed excellent. She has achieved numerous battle honors and is very brave and warlike, much like Gu Jue in his earlier years.

Gu Jue thinks highly of this grandniece of his.

But Gu Ruanruan is pregnant, about to give birth soon, so it’s not the right time to discuss this with her.

As for others, Gu Jue’s subordinates are all too old. Although they are outstanding, none of them stands out exceptionally, and the others...

Eventually, Commander Gu hugged his wife, Su Wan, "Wanwan, how about we have another child?"

"... Didn’t you say before that I shouldn’t have any more children? If you want a child, go have one yourself!" Su Wan sneered, proving that men, even Commander Gu, can’t escape being unreliable!

Gu Jue sighed while holding his wife, "I was just saying."

Su Wan was still very angry and kicked Commander Gu out of the bedroom, so he spent the night hugging a pillow.

It seemed that Gu Jue really was just saying, as he would occasionally go to the Empire University’s military academy to search for good talents.

Su Wan contemplated this matter. She would not interfere with their children’s choices... For example, Xiaoyu likes medical research, so she couldn’t force him to pilot a mecha and go to war.

So, no matter how many children they have, as long as the children themselves don’t want to pilot a mecha and go to war, she would never force them to do so.

Actually, she still preferred for Ajue to eventually train Ruanruan.

Su Wan had an appointment for afternoon tea with Luo Manya because Gu Zilan is now semi-retired, and their child is grown up, so he is planning to take his wife Luo Manya on a trip around the universe.

Gu Zilan had planned this for a long time, but Luo Manya was waiting for their daughter, Ruanruan, to give birth before agreeing to go. Ruanruan should be giving birth in the next few days.

Su Wan mentioned the matter of finding a successor for the Chief Commander position, and Luo Manya smiled and said, "Actually, I also think Ruanruan is suitable. These days, she’s so eager to give birth quickly just so she can get back to piloting mecha. I don’t know who she takes after, but it’s certainly not me or Zilan."

"Maybe she takes after an elder. Once Ruanruan has given birth and recuperated, let Ajue talk to her."

The Gu family has always operated this way; if someone is suitable for a position, no matter who they are, they take it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl.

And it doesn’t matter if it’s a son or a grandson.

This has always been the Gu family’s tradition.

But Su Wan said, "I’m still a bit worried about the Lin family."

The Luo family had also stirred up these kinds of issues before. Fortunately, Luo Manya, though gentle in appearance, had a strong inner character. After several disputes, the Luo family eventually settled down.

The Lin family had also caused trouble several times, but seeing that Gu Ruanruan had no chance to sit on the throne, they quieted down.

However, if Gu Ruanruan really took over Gu Jue’s position and became the Chief Commander of Landis Star, well, the Lin family might start making moves again.

Luo Manya sighed, "Lin Rui is a good kid, but his family is too troublesome. Don’t worry, Aunt, I’ll have a good talk with him and his wife. If Ruanruan can’t handle the Lin family, then she’s not fit to be Chief Commander."

"I think Ruanruan should have her own way of handling things."

Luo Manya nodded and curiously asked, "Aunt, I recently heard that someone saw Xiaochen holding a child. Do you know whose child it is?"

Su Wan really hadn’t heard about this!

She said, "Maybe it’s the child of one of Xiaochen’s subordinates? But he has always liked children."

In the lifespan of a Beastman, Gu Chen is not yet thirty, which is indeed very young, but many of his peers have already married and had children.

Su Wan remembered that when Xiaochen was young, he especially liked playing with his younger siblings. He should like children, right?

Su Wan also recalled that during Xiaochen’s Manic-Depressive Period more than a year ago, someone accompanied him through it, but so far, Xiaochen hasn’t told anyone who that person was.

Su Wan even suspected if that person really existed.

Directly asking Xiaochen wouldn’t yield any answers, so when she got home, Su Wan first contacted her daughter, Xiaoyan, to see if she knew anything about it.
