"Queen Kaisha, did you need something from me?"
Yan placed one hand over her chest and bowed respectfully.
Her pretty face was filled with devotion.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye looked at Kaisha's projection with ill intent.
Holy Kaisha had specifically come to see him just as Yan was about to leave for Earth.
Her purpose was obvious.
She wanted him to leave Angel Civilization.
She wanted me to go?
Not a chance!
"I'm not here for you. I'm here for Lin Ye."
Kaisha spoke slowly, her projection gazing at Lin Ye with amusement.
"What, are you unhappy to see me?"
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
Sure enough, she had come for him.
"Of course. If you want me to go to Earth, then sorry, but I'm not going anywhere except Merlot Heavenly Court."
Kaisha smiled faintly without directly responding to Lin Ye's words.
Yan turned her head and said to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, don't be rude to Queen Kaisha. The Queen wants you to go to Earth for your own good."
"It's fine, Yan. I like Lin Ye's stubborn personality. He's like the opponents I conquered in the past. I enjoy making them admire me."
A sharp gleam flashed through Kaisha's beautiful eyes as she said to Lin Ye, "I'll give you two reasons why you have no choice but to go to Earth."
"Forget it. I won't listen to any reason, and I don't want to know." Lin Ye shook his head and refused decisively.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, absolutely, definitely!"
"You'd get the same answer if you asked a thousand times."
"What if I said I wanted to marry an Angel to you?"
"Huh???"
Lin Ye froze when he heard that.
Marry an Angel to me.
Th-That would be so embarrassing.
"Are you tempted?"
Kaisha laughed. Mockery flickered in her green-shadowed eyes. "You Earthlings place great importance on sleeping together. As long as you go to Earth, I'll have Yan sleep with you. How about it?"
Have Yan sleep with him!
Holy shit?
Was she serious?
Lin Ye was startled and hurriedly looked at Yan, only to find her lowering her head, a wide swath of red spreading across her pretty face.
Her crimson cheeks flushed as her pink lips parted. "I-If it's the Queen's request, then... I wouldn't necessarily refuse."
"Oh, it seems Yan is quite willing too. What do you say, Lin Ye? Will you go to Earth?"
Kaisha's projection sat on her throne with her legs crossed.
What should he do? This was an open scheme. Should he go or not?
Lin Ye's gaze flickered uncertainly.
If he went, he would lose Merlot Heavenly Court's technological achievements, but he could show off on Earth and shock everyone else.
If he did not, Kaisha might become wary of him and even research tools to deal with him alongside Hexi.
In that case...
It looked like he still needed to make a trip to Earth.
"I can go to Earth, but it definitely isn't because I can sleep with Yan." Lin Ye spoke with a completely serious expression.
"Very good."
Kaisha smiled disdainfully. Earthlings had several cages: family, love, kinship, and friendship.
As long as Lin Ye had desires, he would become a tool she could use.
And Yan's words had merely been an excuse to deceive Lin Ye.
Of course, if Yan herself was willing, Kaisha would not stop her.
Seven-thousand-year-old Yan was no longer young. She could get married.
It was just that before Lin Ye, there was still Galaxy Power in line.
Kaisha was about to disconnect when she heard Lin Ye speak.
"Wait, I want to know the second reason."
Kaisha's movement paused slightly, and she left Lin Ye with a meaningful smile.
"You'll find out that reason later."
I hate people who speak in riddles!
Lin Ye watched Kaisha disappear, black lines forming across his forehead.
"Lin Ye."
Yan's cheeks were tinted like the evening sky as she put on an aloof act and said, "I'm going to prepare for departure first. Remember to follow me."
Then Yan left the laboratory with unsteady steps, her state of mind seemingly just as chaotic.
One day later, Heavenly Blade Seven departed from Merlot Heavenly Court and headed for Earth through a Wormhole Jump.
"Yan, roughly how long until we reach Earth?"
On the warship, Lin Ye stared boredly at the dazzling scene outside the window and asked.
They had only just left Merlot Heavenly Court, and withdrawal symptoms had already hit him.
There was no technology for him to crack, and his hands were itching.
"Assuming nothing unexpected happens, about three months."
"How much? Three days or three months?"
Lin Ye sprang out of his chair, completely wide awake.
"Three months."
Yan looked at Lin Ye strangely. Why was he reacting so strongly? "Is three months a long time?"
"Not for you Angels, but for us... Sigh, forget it. I can't be bothered explaining."
Lin Ye shook his head at the astonished looks from the Angels around him.
"Your technology level is far too backward. Back in Great China, people would have despised this kind of speed long ago."
What did he mean, backward? Clearly, his standards were simply too high.
Lingxi and Azhui were also among the Angels accompanying them this time. They were immediately speechless upon hearing Lin Ye's words.
Lingxi combed through her hair and explained, "This is already the latest Power System technology of us Angels, Lin Ye. Just make do with it."
"Lingxi, why bother saying so much to him?"
Azhui crossed her arms with an unhappy expression.
"Azhui, Queen Kaisha has already said it. Regarding Lin Ye and Sister Yan, in a sense, Lin Ye can be considered one of us Angels."
"Tch, it's just that Earthling boy-toy routine." Azhui still looked disdainful.
Having seen how Earthlings lived, Azhui could not tolerate being stepped on by an Earthling last time.
What was more, Lin Ye even wanted to make a move on Yan, her best friend.
It was simply intolerable.
"Enough. It's rare for me to argue with you all."
"Yan, give me the operating system."
Lin Ye shrugged indifferently and held out one hand toward Yan.
"What are you planning to do?"
Yan hesitated for a moment but still handed Heavenly Blade Seven's operating system to Lin Ye in the form of a sphere of light.
Lin Ye did not answer. He activated the Concept Rewrite Engine system.
"The Concept Rewrite Engine has begun operating. Command: Analyze Power System technology." "This Power System technology is a technological achievement of the Main Biological Civilization. Cracking difficulty: average. Estimated time: 10 seconds." Upon hearing this, Lin Ye immediately said, "Heavenly Blade System support." "Connecting to the Heavenly Blade System. Connection rate: 1%, 2%, 5%... 100%." "Heavenly Blade System connected. Estimated cracking time: 0.01 seconds." "Cracking complete. You have obtained 100 Decomposition Value." "You have obtained a detailed explanation of Power System technology and performed optimized calculations. Rewrite and update?"
"Update."
At Lin Ye's command.
The moment his words fell, the entire spaceship shuddered violently for no apparent reason. The Angels around them swayed from the intense tremors, their faces pale with terror as they looked outside.
"Careful! The ship may have hit wormhole turbulence. What was Captain Yan thinking, handing command over to Lin Ye? What rotten luck!"
"Once we get swept into wormhole turbulence, Heavenly Blade One could get trapped and be transported to a random location in the universe."
"What do we do now? We still have Holy Kaisha's inspection mission."
While the Angels were at a loss.
Yan stepped forward, her voice low. "Quiet!"
After her voice rang out, the Angel Warriors' unease eased somewhat, and the atmosphere settled down.
"No matter how bad the situation is, you must not show panic. Remember your identities—you are Angel Warriors!"
"Yes!"
All the Angels nodded in unison.
After steadying morale, Yan finally had time to inspect Heavenly Blade Seven's condition.
Yan looked at the Power System display and froze slightly. "Hm? Is the Power System broken? The speed shown here is three times what it was before?"
Lingxi leaned closer. "I know this stuff. Back when I was at the Angel Research Institute, I studied the repair principles of current Power System technology."
As she spoke, Lingxi began tapping away at the virtual keyboard.
Second by second, time passed.
Yet Lingxi's expression grew uglier and uglier, and the rhythm of her tapping became increasingly hesitant.
