"Your Majesty!!"
Hearing the commotion inside the hall, Yuan Lan, who had been waiting outside, immediately paled. She hurriedly slammed open the door and charged inside.
Then she saw Ye Chen looking utterly disheveled, with blood at the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Yuan Lan's eyes reddened.
"Anyone who dares harm His Majesty will die!!"
"Clang!!"
The next moment, Yuan Lan drew her sword and charged at A-Zhui, who was not far away.
Seeing Yuan Lan go berserk, Ye Chen hurriedly tried to stop her, but in the next moment, he saw A-Zhui casually clamp the sword descending toward her between two fingers. No matter how hard Yuan Lan tried, she could not pull it free.
"Little girl, your loyalty is admirable, but unfortunately, your strength is a little lacking. This is a basic physical enhancement potion. Use it to improve your strength."
A-Zhui admired the frenzied Yuan Lan. With a flick of her finger, she knocked the sword from Yuan Lan's hand, then produced a bottle of pale-blue potion and tossed it to her.
This pale-blue genetic enhancement potion was something she had obtained long ago from a civilization called the Cobalt Blue Civilization. It was the pinnacle of that civilization's genetic technology, and its ruler had presented several bottles to her.
Although she looked down on the stuff—it merely strengthened the body by two or three times, roughly speaking, and was far inferior to a first-generation super soldier—
The minimum standard for the physical strength of a first-generation super soldier was ten times that of an ordinary person, to say nothing of their other abilities.
Although she did not think much of it, it was still a gift from the ruler of a civilization. She had not thrown it away and had left it gathering dust in her storage for several thousand years.
Looking at the blue potion in her hand, Yuan Lan was somewhat stunned and could not understand what was happening. She had tried to kill this person, yet the other party was not angry and had even given her something. This person is actually pretty nice.
Thinking this, Yuan Lan immediately shook her head. What nice person? She's a villain. Anyone who dares harm His Majesty deserves to die.
She then prepared to throw the item away. After all, how could she accept something from an enemy?
Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Yuan Lan, stop! You silly girl, are you stupid? Didn't you see that I was sparring with the Empress—uh, sparring, that's all?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen supported himself against the wall and stood up, "scolding" her.
In this short while, his injuries had already mostly healed.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Hearing Ye Chen's "scolding," Yuan Lan was at a loss.
A subject should die when her sovereign was humiliated. She had not thought about anything else just now; she had only wanted to kill whoever had injured Ye Chen.
Now that she had calmed down, she realized that something was off. A-Zhui's face was flushed, and she wore an embarrassed expression.
Given her intelligence, she quickly deduced what had happened. His Majesty had probably been fooling around with the Empress—bah, no, he had probably been favoring the Empress, but the Empress had gotten embarrassed and accidentally sent His Majesty flying.
Realizing that she had misunderstood—and that this was His Majesty's family matter—Yuan Lan immediately became like a little girl who had made a mistake. She lowered her head and unconsciously picked at her fingers.
Seeing Yuan Lan like this, Ye Chen could not help shaking his head with a wry smile. Usually, she was so clever, calm, and steady, yet now she had acted so impulsively.
What? This is all because my charm is too great? In that case, there's no problem.
"You may leave now. Don't be so impulsive in the future."
After giving Yuan Lan a few words of admonishment, Ye Chen sent her out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, this potion..."
"Didn't you hear? It's the Empress's reward to you. Keep it. Once you use it, your strength will improve, and you'll be better able to protect me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Mm. Go."
After Yuan Lan left, Ye Chen finally looked at A-Zhui and said with a wry smile, "A-Zhui, you hit me far too hard. You nearly killed me."
"Hmph! Who told you to misbehave? You actually put your hand on my... that place."
At this point, A-Zhui could not help feeling embarrassed.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and took A-Zhui's small hand. "They say hitting is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. I understand."
With Ye Chen holding her hand, A-Zhui instinctively tried to pull it back. But his grip was too tight, and after struggling without success, she stopped trying.
Ye Chen smiled inwardly and soothed her. "The core purpose of the Justice Order is to protect weak civilizations like the Yanhuang Empire.
"This order benefits me, so how could I possibly oppose it?
"Besides, once I marry you in the future, the Yanhuang Empire and the Angel Civilization will be one family. How could I fight my own family?"
As he said this, Ye Chen thought to himself that if he integrated the Angel Civilization into the Yanhuang Civilization in the future, would that not make them a family in the truest sense?
Therefore, he was not really deceiving A-Zhui.
Ye Chen then gently wrapped an arm around A-Zhui's slender waist. The two leaned against each other, and he softly blew beside her ear before bewitching her. "Once our child is born, I'll gradually hand over power. After I abdicate, we'll find a planet to live in seclusion and live our own lives..."
When Ye Chen gently blew beside her ear, A-Zhui felt her heart tremble, and her entire body went limp. If Ye Chen had not been holding her, she might have collapsed to the ground.
That single action left her heart in turmoil and her mind blank. Then Ye Chen's enchanting voice reached her ears, and A-Zhui became dazed.
Although she knew perfectly well that Ye Chen was fooling her and drawing up empty promises,
For some reason, she inexplicably chose to believe him. She believed that Ye Chen would pass the empire on to their descendants in the future, then take her to some planet where they could live in seclusion and enjoy a world of their own.
The promise Ye Chen had painted for her was huge and perfectly round. The beautiful, happy, and cozy world he described completely captivated her.
Imperial Palace, bedroom.
"Boom!!"
"Damn it!! Again?!"
"Ye Chen, you bastard, you're really... really shameless."
A-Zhui's hair was somewhat disheveled, and her face was flushed red as she stared in shame and fury at Ye Chen, whom she had kicked off the bed. At that moment, she truly wanted to burn him with the Flame Sword.
Ye Chen was too good at bluffing and too skilled at drawing up empty promises. He had bewitched her so thoroughly that, in a daze, she had been coaxed into making the Guardian Angel Oath—and had even been carried onto the bed by him.
Outside, Yuan Lan heard the tremendous commotion coming from the room and could not help shaking her head, pretending she had heard nothing.
But her admiration for Ye Chen grew even stronger. After all, he had actually managed to subdue such a powerful woman. The Emperor was truly incredible.
Inside the bedroom.
Ye Chen rubbed his buttocks and could not help grimacing. "That really hurts. Hiss~"
Then Ye Chen climbed to his feet and shamelessly returned to the bed.
"You already knew about my shamelessness more than two hundred years ago. If you repeat it now, I'll take it as a compliment."
As he spoke, Ye Chen wrapped an arm around A-Zhui's slender waist and shamelessly pulled her close.
In any case, she had already sworn the Guardian Angel Oath. The matter was settled. It was not as though she could go back on it.
At the same time.
In the distant Angel Nebula, in the rear garden of the Merlot Heavenly Court's palace, two women dressed in royal robes sat on the grass, chatting idly. One had golden hair, while the other had silver hair.
They were none other than Holy Kesha and Heavenly Foundation King He Xi.
At that moment, Holy Kesha suddenly checked the Holy Knowledge Treasure Trove, and her expression immediately became strange.
Seeing this, He Xi asked curiously, "Man Woman, did something happen?"
"Old Fairy, a high-ranking angel just made the Guardian Angel Oath."
"Oh! Which little angel was it?!"
Hearing this, He Xi's eyes immediately lit up with intense curiosity.
