East Sea, Grand Canyon.
Knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock.
Xiao Xuanyu stood alone before the door and lightly knocked on it.
Then he waited patiently outside.
A moment later,
there was still no response from inside.
It seemed there was no one else inside.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyu frowned slightly and raised his hand to knock on the door again.
"Sister Lian Feng, are you there?!"
After knocking, Xiao Xuanyu softly called out into the room twice.
Yet there was still no reply.
After thinking it over, Xiao Xuanyu directly opened a Space Wormhole, preparing to bypass the door and walk straight in.
After entering Lian Feng's private room, Xiao Xuanyu curiously looked around.
There was nothing unusual here.
In the spacious living room, aside from a vase of flowers on the table,
there were only two chairs placed back to back.
His gaze fell on the tightly shut bathroom door, and Xiao Xuanyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"She couldn't be bathing, could she?!"
Click...
Just as Xiao Xuanyu's thoughts began to wander, the bathroom door was abruptly opened from within.
Then, under Xiao Xuanyu's astonished gaze, Lian Feng emerged draped in a bath towel, her wet golden hair hanging over her head.
Perhaps because she had her head lowered, Lian Feng did not notice Xiao Xuanyu standing nearby.
"Ahem..."
After his gaze inadvertently swept over the flashes of fair skin occasionally revealed by Lian Feng, Xiao Xuanyu turned around and gave a light cough.
See no evil, see no evil.
"Ah..."
Hearing the sudden cough, Lian Feng, who was tending to her hair, was startled.
She let out a scream.
Fortunately, the room's soundproofing was exceptionally good, so it did not carry outside.
Otherwise, that would have been another matter entirely.
"Xuanyu? Why are you here?!"
Seeing that it was Xiao Xuanyu, Lian Feng finally relaxed slightly.
Her slender hand lightly patted her ample chest, as though she had truly been frightened.
"Sister Lian Feng..."
Xiao Xuanyu awkwardly scratched his head.
He truly had not expected Lian Feng to be bathing.
"Turn around first!"
Looking at the occasional glimpse of skin exposed by her towel, a flush suddenly rose across Lian Feng's delicate face.
"Huh? All right."
After seeing Xiao Xuanyu turn around, Lian Feng gathered her bathrobe and hurried into the bedroom.
A moment later,
Lian Feng slowly came back out, now dressed in a thin nightgown.
But the blush on her face had yet to fade.
"Xuanyu, what brings you to see me so late? Is something wrong?!"
Pulling her thin nightgown tighter around herself, Lian Feng asked Xiao Xuanyu.
She did not mention what had just happened.
Because that would only make things awkward between her and Xiao Xuanyu.
"Sister Lian Feng..." Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyu did not tactlessly bring it up either. Instead, he stated his purpose.
"I have some questions about genetics that I wanted to ask you. But Sister Lian Feng, you seemed quite busy today, so I thought I'd come find you tonight."
After briefly explaining,
the two gradually got down to business.
By the time Xiao Xuanyu left Lian Feng's room, half an hour had already passed.
Arriving alone on the deck of the Grand Canyon, Xiao Xuanyu did not go to Qi Lin's room.
There was no particular reason. It was already rather late.
Qi Lin had surely long since fallen asleep peacefully.
And he would not be able to do what he wanted to do anyway.
"Xiao Xuanyu..."
At that moment, a cool voice suddenly sounded behind him.
There was a trace of hesitation in it.
"Oh? Rose? What is it, do you need something?!"
Turning around, he saw a Black Armor Warrior in Dark Alloy Armor, her wine-red hair draped over her shoulders, slowly walking toward him.
Who else could it be but Rose?!
Seeing Rose approach with hesitation written across her face, Xiao Xuanyu asked casually.
"I... I'm sorry."
After hesitating for a while, Du Qiangwei finally said the words she had struggled to voice for so long.
"You don't need to apologize to me."
Xiao Xuanyu smiled faintly, with not the slightest hint that he cared.
He had long understood Du Qiangwei's personality.
Though she too was an alien, she was wholeheartedly devoted to Earth.
Even if she joined the demons' camp, her heart would remain with Earth, without regret.
"I..."
Seeing Xiao Xuanyu's completely unconcerned expression, Du Qiangwei found herself unable to say anything.
"To be honest, we're comrades now—comrades who can entrust our backs to each other.
So, no matter who we face on the battlefield, we need to consider our comrades."
After saying that casually, Xiao Xuanyu turned and left.
All he left Du Qiangwei was his receding back.
"Comrades..."
Watching Xiao Xuanyu's departing figure, Du Qiangwei slowly lowered her head and muttered softly.
Originally, she had only regarded Ge Xiaolun and the others as a bunch of misfits, without any intention of treating them as comrades.
Meanwhile, after Xiao Xuanyu left the deck,
he returned to his own dormitory.
Even aboard the Grand Canyon, every member of the Super Soldier Company had an individual dorm room.
Naturally, Xiao Xuanyu was no exception.
Click...
Slowly pushing open the door, Xiao Xuanyu walked in with a sleepy expression.
Just as he was about to get a good night's sleep, he caught sight of a figure sitting on his bed from the corner of his eye.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room gradually froze.
A woman dressed in a nurse's uniform sat on Xiao Xuanyu's bed.
Her jet-black hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she wore a pair of pure white high-heeled boots.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the enormous pair of wicked assets on her chest.
In the Known Universe, who besides the Demon Queen Morgana could possess such enormous wickedness?!
"Why are you here?!"
After a moment of silence between them, Xiao Xuanyu was the first to break it.
He truly had not expected Morgana to come wait for him in his room!
What surprised him even more was that Morgana had concealed her aura. Otherwise, he would definitely have noticed her.
I should have gone to Qi Lin's place.
Looking at Morgana's strange gaze, Xiao Xuanyu thought helplessly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You sure made your Queen wait a long time! But what I didn't expect was that you actually have something going on with that Denorian Lian Feng?!"
Morgana clicked her tongue and looked at Xiao Xuanyu with the gaze of someone judging a scumbag.
"Don't talk nonsense. I only went to Sister Lian Feng to learn a few things."
Xiao Xuanyu explained angrily, though the explanation sounded rather weak.
"I understand, I understand." Morgana raised an elegant brow, looking as though she understood perfectly.
"So, have you thought it over? Do you want to work for your Queen?!"
After teasing him a little, Morgana returned to the main topic and asked Xiao Xuanyu.
In her view, Xiao Xuanyu's genes were truly quite alluring.
Setting aside his God-Slaying Power, the Void and Anti-Void Ability alone already made him exceptionally powerful within the Known Universe.
