Zhui

The atmosphere in the living room became extremely strange.

A blonde girl with long, pale legs suddenly appeared before them, but only her upper body was there. Her lower body was nowhere to be seen.

In a sense, it was somewhat terrifying, yet not quite that terrifying.

Cough, cough.

Yan was so embarrassed and furious that she wanted to burrow into the ground. Unfortunately, the floor was tiled—there was no dirt and not even a crack.

"What's going on? Performing acrobatics? You're pretty talented."

Xu Yi teased her. At some point, he had picked up a thermos and was inspecting it from front to back.

"Xu Yi, stop laughing. You must be behind this. Hurry up and undo whatever you did," Yan said angrily.

"Oh." Xu Yi answered, but did nothing.

"Sister Yan, do you need help?"

Angel Zhui's voice came from the other side of the miniature Wormhole Gate again.

"Can't be helped. The Wormhole Transport algorithm isn't working. Azhui, don't come over," Yan replied, afraid Zhui would get stuck too.

"Oh."

"Still, Sister Yan, it's my first time realizing that not only is your chest big, but your butt is pretty round too."

On the other end, Angel Zhui laughed as she examined Angel Yan's lower body.

"I think yours is pretty round too," Yan snapped.

"Really? Round?"

Xu Yi waved his hand, and space shifted according to his will, swapping the positions of her upper and lower body.

In an instant, Yan's upper body returned to Azhui's side.

Meanwhile, her lower body appeared in Xu Yi's living room! Uh...

Xu Yi stared at Yan's body, lost in thought. He had to admit, Yan's body was exceptionally ergonomic.

The proportions of those legs were flawless—practically the golden ratio. Under the living room lights, shadows lay across her legs in alternating depths, while her skin was smooth and delicate, seeming ready to break at the slightest touch.

And that red skirt added a pure yet sensual Charm to her appearance.

Xu Yi's hands suddenly felt a little itchy. If only he had a whip right now?

When Yan saw Azhui again, then looked at her own body, her expression changed drastically. Seemingly realizing something, she said, "Xu Yi, you... don't do anything strange."

But Azhui grinned. "Sister Yan, seeing this scene reminds me of something."

"What?" Yan asked.

"What stabs you from behind might not necessarily be a knife. It could also be Xu Yi," Angel Zhui said solemnly.

"What kind of nonsense is that? What have you been learning here all these years?" Yan said speechlessly.

If no one else had been around, considering Xu Yi's Charm and unfathomable strength, perhaps she could have tried enjoying a romantic night with him. After all, she had been single for nearly ten thousand years. Deep down, she still longed for the nourishment of love, but there were few choices available to her.

But now, with Azhui right in front of her, there was only embarrassment.

Xu Yi was merely teasing Angel Yan and had no intention of doing anything to her. Space soon returned to normal, and Yan reappeared in Xu Yi's living room. Azhui followed shortly afterward.

Back to normal, Yan watched Xu Yi warily and asked, "You didn't do anything inappropriate, did you?"

"What counts as inappropriate?" Xu Yi asked.

"In human terms, that would be a cute little deer!" Azhui said with a smile.

"A little deer? What the hell is that?"

Xu Yi did not get it at first, but quickly understood. He looked at Azhui in surprise. Who would have thought this little Angel, who looked like such a tomboy, was actually quite experienced?

"Shut up, Azhui. Angels are the embodiment of purity, flawlessness, and beauty. Since when did your mind become so colorful?" Yan reprimanded her.

"Bleh!" Azhui playfully stuck out her tongue.

"..."

Yan was speechless. Then she composed herself and said seriously, "Ahem. Angels are, after all, the most beautiful lifeforms in the Universe. If you have any strange thoughts, I can understand, Xu Yi. I don't blame you, really! But you're still young. Even though you're powerful, you should know moderation."

That left Xu Yi, who had been watching the show, completely dumbfounded. Without thinking, he said, "Aren't you a little too narcissistic? I'm not so desperate that I'd fantasize about you."

"I believe you," Yan said, though her eyes gave her away.

No one could resist an Angel's Charm.

"What kind of look is that?"

Seeing this, Xu Yi did not bother explaining. He sat on the sofa and said, "Forget it. Stop talking about this nonsense. What exactly did you come here for?"

Yan and Azhui sat down together. Yan then said, "I knew you were strong, but I never expected you to be this strong. Queen Keisha admitted that she was inferior to you. To me, that is simply unimaginable, because in my heart, Queen Keisha is invincible and undefeated in battle.

"But I believe Queen Keisha—and the Heavenly Foundation King as well—were both traumatized by you.

"So, since you are this powerful, I want to ask you for help."

"What kind of help?" Xu Yi's expression remained calm, though he had some guesses.

"Hunt down the Demon Queen Morgana. Although I can't pinpoint Morgana's whereabouts, I am certain she is somewhere on Earth Star. The aura of demons can never truly be hidden," Yan said.

"Why should I help the Angels? I don't have any grudge against the Demon Queen Morgana either," Xu Yi said.

"Heh, not having a grudge now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. Besides, Xu Yi, why do you think Morgana came to Earth Star? It's a pre-nuclear civilization. If Morgana wanted to, she could conquer it within an hour.

"The reason Earth is still at peace is because it is actually under the protection of the Justice Order. Gods like Morgana would not easily ignite an interstellar war.

"You may not know much about Morgana, but throughout the Universe, any civilization that comes into contact with demons either perishes or falls into depravity and becomes the demons' lackeys.

"If Morgana is allowed to develop on Earth, Earth's fate will not be much different." Yan laid out her analysis in great detail.

"Yan, you make sense, but why do you need my help? If Morgana provokes me, I can just slap her to death. Why make things so troublesome?" Xu Yi asked in return.

"...Uh... that is true. But wouldn't it be better to nip the disaster in the bud beforehand?" Yan said.

Xu Yi stood up and said, "There's no need. Yan, how can you be sure that Earth's humans don't need the demons' faith? On the contrary, I think that compared to Angels, many humans would be more willing to believe in Morgana.

"As for death, in the entire Universe, on every planet—including Earth—what day passes without death? Even without demon invasions or alien invasions, humans would still slaughter one another.

"This world needs some external force to stimulate it before it can evolve and transform.

"As for me, I have no savior or hero mentality."

Xu Yi himself had crossed over into this world, and it was only one stop in his endless life.

For him, it was enough to protect those around him and his parents, though his father had died long ago.

Become a hero? Saving people every day would be far too troublesome, and people might not even appreciate it.

It was better to live freely on his own, acting as he pleased. If he saw injustice, he could help. If he did not see it, there was no need to force himself to save the world.

"Xu Yi, that way of thinking is bad. It's a little extreme."

Before Yan could speak, the righteous-looking Azhui could not hold herself back.

"Azhui, sit down," Yan immediately said.

Yan could understand Xu Yi. Though she was revered as the Sacred Left Wing who carried out justice, there were also beings who despised the Justice Order—and they were the very same beings it governed.

Because justice had lasted for too long, some comfortable beings no longer liked it. Justice was too absolute; it could not tolerate even a grain of sand.

Although Xu Yi's way of doing things was somewhat lazy, he truly had the ability to protect everything he wanted.
