Sister Hexi! You Understand Me Best!

"Sister Hexi, so you were never sealed away at all."

Lin Ye looked at Hexi with gratitude, feeling that the woman before him was truly as beautiful as a celestial being.

Close call—if Hexi hadn't stepped in to explain for him, nothing he said today would have mattered.

"Hehe, now you know fear, don't you? Weren't you enjoying the show?"

Hexi's beautiful eyes arched slightly as she crossed her arms and walked up to Lin Ye, her gaze teasing him.

"Heh, an accident, all an accident."

"Besides, I didn't actually do anything to you, did I?"

Lin Ye chuckled, waving his hand to send Star Fate back to Hexi's side.

"Sister Hexi, Star Fate is returned to you. I told you I had no ill intentions from the start."

"Oh? You're really willing to give it back?" Hexi sensed Star Fate's return and glanced at Lin Ye in surprise.

"What kind of talk is that? It was always yours. I was just keeping it safe for you." Lin Ye smiled calmly. He had already cracked Star Fate's technology.

As long as he had the materials, he could churn out Star Fates like candy, easily forging a pile by hand.

Mm!

At that moment, Lin Ye's hairs stood on end. A prickling sensation, like sitting on needles, radiated from Kaisha's gaze.

Every time Kaisha looked at him, he felt like a fish on a chopping block.

Holy Kaisha's oppressive presence was just too overwhelming.

Sooner or later, he'd crack Kaisha's Silver Wings and use them to stun everyone else.

"Lin Ye, since Hexi has explained for you, I can believe your actions fall within the bounds of justice."

Holy Kaisha waved her left hand, and the two razor-sharp Silver Wings dissolved into the void.

"However, I still have two questions."

"First, who exactly are you? What is your identity?"

Hearing this, Lin Ye answered truthfully: "Ah, I'm just an ordinary Earthling from the Chi Wu Star System. I'm just a bit luckier and a bit smarter than them. Other than that, I'm no different."

The words fell.

The angels began murmuring among themselves, their tones laced with suspicion.

"Who'd believe that? Do you?"

"I don't."

"An ordinary Earthling? If all Earthlings were like Lin Ye, the universe would be in chaos. I'd rather think this Lin Ye is the Earth Heart manifested by Earth's civilization."

"The Earth Heart? You mean he represents the future of Earth's civilization?"

"Not necessarily, but he's definitely not ordinary. What do you think, Yan?"

An angel guard asked Yan for her opinion.

Yan shook her head, her eyes equally doubtful. "I'm not sure, but Lin Ye cracking the Heavenly Blade Judgment is an absolute fact. He's far from as simple as he appears on the surface."

The assembled angels nodded, their gazes fixed on Lin Ye with scrutiny, as if looking at some rare creature.

"You see, our angels don't trust your identity. So I hope you'll answer the second question truthfully."

Kaisha's tone carried an undeniable weight.

"Fine." Lin Ye nodded helplessly.

Sigh.

Was it really this hard to tell the truth these days?

"Then let me ask you: what was your real purpose in entering the Angel Grand Research Institute?"

As Kaisha finished speaking, a flash of white light flickered in her eyes.

She activated the lie detection function of the Sacred Knowledge Repository.

"Lie detection function detected. Activate countermeasures?"

The prompt from the Concept Rewrite Engine rang in Lin Ye's ear.

His eyes flickered briefly, then he shook his head.

This was the critical moment to prove his innocence.

Kaisha knew he had the Heavenly Blade System, yet she still activated the lie detection—clearly a test.

If he used the Heavenly Blade System to block it, it would prove he had ulterior motives, and she might take him down on the spot.

Only by telling the truth could he resolve the issue.

"Actually... I'm someone who yearns for technology and freedom. When Angel Yan invited me to the Merlot Heavenly Court, I thought I might get a chance to witness the great angelic technology."

"I just didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the Merlot Heavenly Court, Yan and Zhi Xin locked me up."

"I figured, locked up is locked up. I could use the opportunity to try cracking angelic technology. But your tech isn't very tight. I cracked my way through, and aside from the Heavenly Blade System being somewhat interesting, the rest wasn't worth much. As for what happened after that, you already know."

"So my goal is simple—to crack technological achievements. You could call it my hobby, or even say it's the entirety of my life."

Lin Ye spoke each word deliberately, without a single lie—just another way of phrasing his true purpose.

"Good kid, you really dare to say that."

Hexi's eyes held a trace of anger.

Angel technology wasn't exactly airtight—who else would dare speak like this?

If she hadn't witnessed with her own eyes Lin Ye handcrafting a Micro Celestial Computer and a series of other feats, she'd really want to slap someone who talked like that.

"You're not lying, but you're not telling the whole truth either." Kaisha furrowed her brow.

"Queen Kaisha, cracking technology is my only goal. What other intentions could I possibly have?"

Lin Ye sighed helplessly, shifting the topic: "Wasn't it Sister Yan who brought me back? If she hadn't, I'd still be on Kunsa Star."

Hearing this, the angels turned to look at Angel Yan, their expressions strange.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"How was I supposed to know he'd poke such a big hole? I wanted to lock him in the detention room."

Yan was on the verge of tears.

Who would believe it? She casually saved an interesting human.

Told him to stay put in the detention room, and not only did he break through the defense shield, he entered the Angel Grand Research Institute and turned the place upside down!

Even the Sky Base King was sealed for a moment—was this really something a human could do?

And at that moment.

On the throne, Kaisha only pondered for a moment, nodded, and looked at Hexi: "Do you have a way to limit Lin Ye's cracking ability?"

She asked it openly.

Lin Ye naturally heard it too, thinking to himself that Queen Kaisha really didn't treat him as an outsider.

Asking so openly how to restrict him—was that really okay?

"I've observed Lin Ye's cracking ability. With the current technological level of Angel Civilization, it's almost impossible to restrict his actions."

Hexi thought for a moment, then continued: "But since technology can't limit him, we can try another method."

"What method?" Kaisha asked.

Lin Ye pricked up his ears cautiously, focusing on Hexi's next words.

Please don't be something like exile or throwing him into a black hole—such absurd measures.

Then Hexi slowly spoke: "Simple. If physical and technical restrictions don't work, we can impose emotional restrictions. Let his mind become infatuated with an angel, using desire and emotion to bind Lin Ye."

"In other words, I suggest letting a Female Angel try to get close to Lin Ye. We have so many angels—there's no need to worry that Lin Ye won't like any of them."

"Once there's a child of love, with human values, it'll be hard for him to break free."

Sss...

After hearing Hexi's words, Lin Ye's eyes widened, and he sucked in a sharp breath!

Why reward himself—oh no, why restrict himself like this!

Emotional restriction—what a sinister move.

If it were him, facing so many lovely angel sisters, he might really fall for it.

Lin Ye was a little panicked, his gaze sweeping over the youthful, flawless, perfectly curved female angels.

Damn female angels.

Whatever challenge comes, just bring it on.

"Queen Kaisha, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."

At that moment, a magnetic voice echoed through the laboratory, filled with resolve and determination.
