Interstellar Greening Master

Whether Gu Langu was surprised or not was difficult to determine. After all, even if he was extremely shocked, his face displayed minimal visible fluctuations.

However, Yu Jin and the others were already wearing dazed expressions. Even Nan Ge, who was usually composed, couldn’t conceal his astonishment, unsure of how to react.

As for the others who had seen through Gu Langu’s identity, they had the look of someone in a dream. What a joke?! Gu Langu having a son! Impossible! Wasn’t Gu Langu supposed to reproduce asexually? How could someone devoid of desires have such a big son? Wait! Wait! Almost got carried away there. How could two grown men have such a big son? If this were happening beyond the planet, with the help of advanced technology for cellular modification, it might be possible. But this was a desolate planet! Where would such technological support come from?

The gazes of everyone couldn’t help but shift to the elegant figure standing there in white. His ink-black hair was pulled up high, falling to his waist. Occasionally, a breeze would lift his long hair, causing it to flutter and sway behind him. His white attire seemed untouched by dust, exuding an air of transcendence. Strangely enough, everyone’s initial impression was that this person really looked a lot like Gu Langu!

It wasn’t just a physical resemblance, but that kind of temperament and aura. The same coldness, the same arrogance, the same disdainful expression. It seemed that just standing there made it natural to be superior.

Perhaps this feeling stimulated their sensitive nerves. Someone couldn’t help but snort coldly, provoking with their words. “This gentleman behaves recklessly, dressed inappropriately, and thinks that having a decent face means others would willingly be his saviors?”

Shu Shuishui turned towards the voice and saw a handsome man. However, the envy in his eyes brutally eradicated any semblance of his attractiveness.

Shu Shuishui tugged at his own clothes. His attire could indeed be described as eccentric. The upper garment was still the random outer shirt he had grabbed from Gu Langu before entering the simulator. As for his pants, they were the ones he had picked up when he got out of bed in Li Dream Study. However, he wasn’t accustomed to elaborate ancient clothing. He was only wearing loose white silk trousers. It was clear that these pants were meant to be innerwear and weren’t suitable for outerwear.

Such a distinct style of dressing did look odd, but it was still better than wearing nothing at all. Shu Shuishui always spoke his mind, unburdened by human conversational constraints. “You’re jealous to the point of envy even with my eccentric outfit. If I dressed nicely, wouldn’t you be even more furious?”

The person’s thoughts were exposed, and he immediately became annoyed. “Who’s jealous of you! Stop flattering yourself.”

Shu Shuishui found it strange. “Why would I flatter myself? I’m much cuter than gold. Gu Gu only likes me, not gold. If you’re not jealous of me, then you’re jealous of Da Bai. Jealous that Gu Gu and I have such a chubby and cute son.”

The person was nearly suffocated by his remarks. Clearly, he had never encountered someone who twisted words and yet somehow made sense.

Seeing the person gasping for breath as if about to faint, Shu Shuishui quickly added, “Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. The weather is dry, be careful not to get too heated.”

This time, the person was truly exploding with anger. Swiftly, he pulled out an item from his pocket and hurled it. Others were either caught in shock or suppressing laughter, and only when they reacted did they hastily step back.

People with the courage to enter a group dungeon were either powerful or well-connected. Something thrown out in extreme anger wouldn’t be anything good.

Nan Ge and the others stood beside Shu Shuishui, and the object was coming right at them.

“Be careful! It’s a miniature quantum bomb. The explosion radius is ten to twenty meters. Get out of the way!” Nan Ge’s warning sounded, and the others quickly retreated.

However, the person who had thrown the quantum bomb had actually intended to attack Gu Langu before this. The action was swift, and the item had built-in tracking and acceleration functions. Even if others could evade, Shu Shuishui, who was locked in, wouldn’t be able to escape.

Although Shu Shuishui had never seen a quantum bomb, he wasn’t foolish. He instinctively tried to dodge, but as soon as he took a step to the side, the bomb also shifted direction. Shu Shuishui instantly realized he couldn’t avoid it.

Yu Jin happened to be in the direction Shu Shuishui was trying to evade. Seeing this, he hastened his pace, but no matter how fast a person was, how could they outrun a quantum bomb that automatically accelerated to track? Yu Jin decided he wasn’t going to dodge anymore. He turned around and stood his ground, ready to confront it head-on. He had seen everything on the battlefield. How could he be afraid of a mere quantum bomb!

In what felt like an instant, the quantum bomb was right in front of them. Liu Po found a piece of armor in his pocket with one hand and grabbed his foolish little brother with the other. The others realized they couldn’t escape the blast radius and scrambled to find ways to protect themselves.

However, just when the quantum bomb was about four or five steps away from Shu Shuishui, Gu Langu’s figure flashed, positioning himself in front of it. His speed was only slightly faster than the quantum bomb’s, ensuring that the bomb didn’t even have time to change direction.

As the quantum bomb was about to collide with Gu Langu’s body, a streak of blue light shot even faster toward it. Then, in the astonished expressions of everyone present, the blue entity opened its mouth and swallowed the quantum bomb whole. The bomb that had been locked onto Shu Shuishui exploded instantly due to the external force it encountered.

Everyone was left dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The blue light was the same creature that appeared alongside it, resembling a mutated snake. It was thick as two fingers and over two meters long, with an absurd adhesive bandage on its head. At this moment, smoke was emanating from its nostrils due to the explosion of the quantum bomb.

But that was it. No other reactions, not even a drop of blood spilled!

“How is this possible! What is this thing? It actually swallowed a quantum bomb! It’s impossible for it to be unharmed!” The person who had unexpectedly thrown the quantum bomb was also greatly shocked and completely disbelieved this unscientific turn of events.

As if on cue, the jiaolong opened its mouth and then let out a loud and satisfied belch in full view of everyone.

Everyone: “…”

Even Gu Langu was surprised, unsure of what was before him.

However, Shu Shuishui rushed forward, grabbed the jiaolong by the neck, and then pried open its mouth to look inside. “My Xiao Jiao Jiao, do you know what that is before eating it without thinking? What if it upsets your stomach? And you’re even exhaling smoke! What if someone mistakes you for smoking? Gu Gu, don’t worry, I definitely haven’t taught Xiao Jiao Jiao any bad habits.”

Gu Langu’s expression twitched slightly, his attention somewhat diverted. “Xiao Jiao Jiao?” Why did this nickname feel even more endearing than Gu Gu?

Shu Shuishui nodded as if he had just remembered something. “That’s right, Gu Gu. This is the second surprise. This is… our little son! He’s green and vibrant, with an appetite-inducing color.”

Xiao Jiao Jiao made a pleased sound, seemingly responding.

Gu Langu: ???

Yu Jin and the others’ hearts, which had just started to calm down, were shocked once again! One son wasn’t enough! Another had to appear, no, it’s a creature! And this one wasn’t even human!

Gu Langu remained silent for a while. Shu Shuishui, thinking he understood, approached and patted Gu Langu’s shoulder. “I know that becoming a father might be challenging for Gu Gu, but don’t worry. I can teach you. I’ve raised many things before, like rice, wheat, grasshoppers, and scallops. I can be considered experienced. I’ve got it all covered, so rest assured. I’ll take care of earning money to support the family, and you, Gu Gu, can focus on being gorgeous like a flower. No pressure.”

Everyone: “…” If the person in front of them wasn’t Gu Langu, they might have almost believed it. But when they remembered that the formidable God of War was standing before them, this statement sounded incredibly awkward.

However, to their surprise, Gu Langu, who had been quite aloof, actually nodded seriously after hearing Shu Shuishui’s words. Without a shred of shame, he responded, “Alright, we’ll all follow Shui Shui’s lead.”

The group almost felt like kneeling. They started doubting if they had mistaken the person. The person in front of them couldn’t possibly be the Gu Langu who had turned the tide of interstellar warfare and defeated the Xian Ge Galaxy! Someone else must be impersonating him.

A few individuals, including Yu Jin, were startled multiple times, but they quickly captured the crucial information. Yu Jin’s eyes nearly popped out. “Shui Shui! Shui Shui! It’s you, Shui Shui!” The last cries were almost strained, highlighting the extent of the shock.

Shu Shuishui smiled, lifting his face with a grin. Even though he wasn’t a mouse, that inexplicable smile coincided perfectly with his cute and captivating expression. “Mao Jin, is your throat okay? Young people should take care of their throats. How about I make you some stewed snow pear soup later? Just one bottle cap’s worth.”

With Shu Shuishui’s identity clarified, Yu Jin was ecstatic beyond words. All his defenses crumbled in an instant, and he rushed towards him with joy, wrapping his arms around Shu Shuishui. “This is amazing, Shui Shui! We didn’t see you enter the dungeon, and we thought something happened to you. We asked the boss, but he didn’t say anything. We were so worried…”

Before Yu Jin could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Gu Langu by the collar from behind and thrown out. Yu Jin took several steps back and fell down, sitting on the ground in pain. “Boss, what are you doing?”

Gu Langu gave Yu Jin a chilly glance. Although Yu Jin was bewildered, he wisely closed his mouth. On the other side, Liu Du, who had also been excited and wanted to rush forward, was pulled back by his own elder brother. Liu Du looked at Liu Po in confusion. Liu Po couldn’t help but want to facepalm. Why did this biological younger brother of his not resemble him at all? Even Yu Jin was thrown so far away. If you charge in like that, you’ll probably get hurt.

Gu Langu didn’t react much, but Shu Shuishui showed some concern. “Mao Jin, are you okay? Did you provoke Gu Gu again?”

“Who dares to provoke him? He hasn’t said a word these days, as if he’s about to explode over the slightest thing.” Yu Jin muttered, but he didn’t dare say it aloud. “I’m fine, Shui Shui, don’t worry.”

Gu Langu was clearly displeased with the unspoken communication between the two from a distance. He forcefully extended his hand in front of Shu Shuishui. Shu Shuishui was puzzled and looked down at Gu Langu’s handsome hand.

Although not understanding what was happening, Shu Shuishui, always eager to take advantage of a good deal, immediately placed his hand on top, discreetly rubbing it a couple of times. He experienced the sensation of a human hand, no, a person’s hand, touching such a beautiful hand. Only then did he speak up. “What happened to Gu Gu’s hand?”

Gu Langu replied without a hint of guilt in his tone. “It’s sore.”

“Sore hand?” Shu Shui couldn’t help but examine it closely. “How can your hand be sore? You don’t look injured.”

Gu Langu continued, “Yu Jin is too heavy. Throwing him hurts my hand. Huff.”

Just as Yu Jin, who had just stood up and was dusting off the dirt from his body, nearly stumbled and almost fell back to the ground. He looked at Gu Langu in disbelief, his expression asking, ‘Are you blaming me for this too? You throw me and then blame me? This is absurd!’

Shu Shuishui looked both helpless and indulgent. “Alright, alright, huff.” As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently blew on Gu Langu’s hand.

Feeling the soft and warm breath, Gu Langu’s fingers trembled slightly. His eyes shone brightly as if containing endless galaxies.

After Shu Shuishui had blown for a while, the nearby jiaolong blinked its eyes and approached, tilting its head to look at Gu Langu’s palm. It leaned in, puffing out its cheeks and blowing gently on Gu Langu’s palm.

Da Bai, who had taken a step forward, halted when he saw this, and let out a cold hum. “Fragile!”

Gu Langu’s gaze shifted to Da Bai. Da Bai’s body stiffened, but he still maintained a strong posture, refusing to lower his head as he coldly locked eyes with Gu Langu. On the other hand, the atmosphere here was sickeningly sweet, making the onlookers around them feel sour. Weren’t they here for a fight? Why did it suddenly turn into a scene of public affection? And what’s with this “happy family of four” vibe?
