Xue Yi: This Man of Mine!

Lin Ye looked toward the speaker and found a graceful, enchanting angel standing there, her voluptuous figure stirring the imagination.

"You are?" Lin Ye had never seen this angel before. Could it be another one captivated by his looks? That made sense—the female angels of Merlot Heavenly Court lacked nothing, except men.

"No, not me."

But the angel guard quickly stepped aside, revealing the angel behind her.

"Yan?"

Recognizing her face, Lin Ye was momentarily stunned. No matter how he thought about it, he never expected the one to agree would be Yan.

Yan was no ordinary left-wing angel guard. According to the storyline, she was destined to become the future Queen of Angels. The Heavenly Blade King who wielded the power of lightning, the leader of Angel Civilization. An angel blessed with such a protagonist's halo—how could she be willing to give up her future?

Right, at this point in time, it seemed Yan hadn't yet met Ge Xiaolun, the Galaxy Power. Wasn't this him cutting in line?

Lin Ye mused to himself.

"Lin Ye's situation is my responsibility because I brought him to Merlot Heavenly Court. So no matter what happens from now on, I will take charge of it."

Yan's beautiful, fair, oval face bore a resolute expression. She bit her red lips lightly and walked toward Lin Ye.

In the eyes of the assembled angels, they all felt deep admiration for Yan's actions. At the very least, staking her own dignity and glory to cultivate feelings with an Earthling was something none of them dared to do.

"Very well, worthy of my student. Since you're watching over Lin Ye, then Lin Ye's freedom will not be restricted."

Kaisha nodded, extremely satisfied with Yan's performance.

No restrictions on freedom—that was great.

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction as well, watching Yan approach gracefully.

Even if Yan was assigned to keep close watch on him, so what? Having a future Queen of Angels as a personal attendant wasn't such a bad thing, was it? Besides, having a beauty like Yan by his side would help pass the time.

"Come on, I'll take you down to rest." Yan said casually, taking Lin Ye's hand and flying straight out of the laboratory.

After Lin Ye and Yan left, Holy Kaisha waved her hand. Silver light bloomed before her, shining on every sealed angel.

"Thank you, Queen, for lifting the seal!"

"Thank you, Queen Kaisha!"

"Thank you..."

The angels stood up and knelt respectfully on one knee in salute.

Kaisha waved her hand and instructed, "You all know what Lin Ye's value means. But before I confirm his identity and background, I don't want any angel to act rashly."

"I will personally observe his every move. Understood?"

"We obey the Queen's command!"

Angel Leng, Angel Zhi, Angel Zhi Xin, Angel Lingxi, and all the others nodded in agreement, a glimmer shining in their eyes.

For the Queen to personally monitor this Lin Ye—could it be that she had taken a liking to his talent? After all, their Merlot Heavenly Court hadn't seen a man in thousands of years. And this time, not only was Lin Ye unrestricted, but he was also under Yan's personal protection—it showed just how sincere the Queen was!

On the other side, Lin Ye had left the Angel Grand Research Institute.

"Yan, I want to take a tour of Merlot Heavenly Court."

Lin Ye was being carried by Yan. He looked up at her, catching a view of her cool, beautiful face from this angle.

"Mm, let me ask for permission."

Yan pressed a hand to her forehead, about to request clearance from Queen Kaisha, but stopped halfway through the motion.

"Forget it, no need to ask. It's not like we could stop you anyway."

"I'll take you to see the Angel Left Wing."

"Alright."

With that, Yan's wings flared, and she flew with Lin Ye toward the Angel Left Wing.

Soon after, Lin Ye and Yan landed on a flat steel bridge. On this flagship, the Sacred Left Wing, angel warriors had gathered. Seeing Yan return with Lin Ye, they clicked over in their high heels, surrounding them with teasing smiles on their faces.

"Sis Yan, who did you bring back with you!"

"Could it be Yan's sweetheart? You issued a wanted order before—did your little man slip away once?"

"Yan, don't forget to let us hold the future little angel."

"That's right, that's right, we're all waiting!"

Yan led Lin Ye through the crowd, a faint blush creeping onto her delicate face. "Lin Ye, don't mind them. I'll take you to see other places."

"Oh, alright."

Lin Ye surveyed his surroundings, completely unfazed by the angels' teasing. Right now, he was more eager to check out the technological achievements.

Just then.

An Angel Warrior descended from the sky, landing before Lin Ye and Yan.

"Captain Yan, one of the Heavenly Blade battleships has malfunctioned. We can't proceed with repairs."

"Could you come take a look?"

The messenger relayed the ship's status, and Yan frowned slightly. "I'm accompanying a friend right now. It might not be convenient."

"A boyfriend?"

The Angel Warrior glanced at Lin Ye, startled by his appearance. "What a handsome young man. Alright then, may Captain Yan soon give birth to a little angel baby."

"I'll go find Zhi Xin instead."

Yan's cold, striking face, framed by her flowing golden hair, flushed again. Why did all these girls keep assuming she and Lin Ye were a couple?

"Hey, wait. I can actually help take a look."

Lin Ye called out to the Angel Warrior. Since it was a battleship, it had to be a technological achievement. He wondered if cracking it would grant him Decomposition Value.

"You?" The Angel Warrior frowned. "Captain Yan, is he up to it?"

"If it's Lin Ye, maybe he can. But Lin Ye, are you sure you want to come with us?"

Yan hesitated briefly, recalling Lin Ye's performance at the Angel Grand Research Institute, then nodded. Perhaps with Lin Ye by her side, she could leverage his help to accomplish research she'd never managed before.

"Yeah, let's go. I can't wait to crack the battleship's technology."

Lin Ye's eyes lit up with excitement as he rubbed his hands together, itching to get started.

An hour later, aboard an angel battleship shaped like a holy sword.

"The battleship's Communication System is infected with a Virus. But it's not a big deal."

Lin Ye sat in the command room, reaching out to touch the control light screen as his mind rapidly analyzed it.

"Communication System? But we clearly investigated the Power System."

"You're not just guessing blindly, are you?"

A nearby Angel Warrior frowned and asked.

"Enough, Ling Yan. Say less." Yan patted Ling Yan on the shoulder.

"Whether it's a guess or not, you'll know if you check for yourself."

Lin Ye smiled faintly, his finger dropping down. With a click, he pressed a button in the void.

Then.

An image materialized before Lin Ye and the others—a gloomy-looking battleship. Judging by its decor, it seemed to be a Demon Battleship.

In the main hall, a voluptuous woman wearing a leather throne strode in, accompanied by a familiar figure—Xue Yi.

"Queen Morgana, we've deployed the Virus on one of the Heavenly Blade battleships. From now on, every command Angel Yan transmits, we'll intercept." Xue Yi said.

"Mm, well done, Xue Yi. Oh, by the way, what reward do you want this time?"

Morgana nodded calmly, taking off her crown and spinning it on her finger.

"Mm... I want a man."

Morgana paused mid-motion, looking at Xue Yi with a strange expression. "Oh? We have plenty of Demon Soldiers here. Want to pick one?"

"You misunderstand, Queen Morgana. I want a human man. He looks like this."

As Xue Yi spoke, she projected a large portrait. The face in it was unmistakably Lin Ye's.

Whoosh!

Lin Ye, face full of black lines, cut off the Communication System. How did the gossip end up circling back to him? He'd been planning to counter-hack the Demon Battleship, but instead of valuable intel, he'd caught Xue Yi asking Morgana for him.

With all these angel girls around, even Lin Ye's face flushed slightly.

"Well... you all heard that. This ship was infected with a Virus by Xue Yi." Lin Ye changed the subject.

"..." Yan's cold, stern face hardened with a trace of frost as she slowly stood up. "My hands are suddenly itching. I'm going to kill a couple of demons. Wait for me here."

For some reason, hearing that Xue Yi wanted Lin Ye made her feel deeply uncomfortable in her heart.

The surrounding Angel Warriors exchanged bewildered glances.

What ability did this youth actually possess?

Not only did Demon Xue Yi want him, even Captain Yan was jealous.

Could it be that he had some special genes?

But aside from being somewhat good-looking, what was so remarkable about him?
