Time flowed on, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Blue Star, outer space.
"That guy should have died of old age by now, right?" Looking at the azure Blue Star before her, A-Zhui couldn't help thinking of the man who had forcibly kissed her a hundred years ago.
As she spoke, A-Zhui couldn't help touching her lips.
They said that first love was the hardest to forget. Although A-Zhui and Ye Chen were not lovers, Ye Chen was the first man to steal her first kiss.
Over the past hundred years, she had often found herself thinking of Ye Chen. It wasn't that she had fallen for him, but that Ye Chen was the man who had stolen her first kiss, leaving a deep impression on her that was difficult to forget.
Of course, the main reason was that Ye Chen wasn't ugly. In fact, he was quite handsome.
Before getting to know someone in depth, all living beings ultimately believed that looks were justice, and their values followed their features.
One reason A-Zhui hadn't killed Ye Chen with a single sword back then was that he was handsome and fit her aesthetic preferences.
Otherwise, if some ugly freak had dared to force a kiss on her, he would probably have been burned to ashes by her flames the very next second. He wouldn't have had any chance to speak.
A-Zhui then activated her dark-information scanning system. In an instant, a white film covered her eyes.
After a while, A-Zhui's eyes returned to normal. Her expression was extremely strange. She hadn't expected that the man who had stolen her first kiss not only hadn't died of old age, but was still living quite well.
Moreover, he had even established an empire over the past hundred years.
Thinking of the information she had just scanned, A-Zhui couldn't help growing curious about Ye Chen. She wanted to figure out what exactly had happened to him.
With that thought, A-Zhui flew toward the location of the Yanhuang Empire.
After arriving at the Yanhuang Empire's capital, Xuanhuang City, A-Zhui folded away her wings and walked along the bustling streets.
As she walked across the cement-paved ground, A-Zhui observed the people's way of life and their surroundings, nodding from time to time.
"Looks like this little man really does have some ability. He managed to govern the empire in perfect order and give the people peaceful, prosperous lives. That alone is enough to prove he's a qualified emperor."
A-Zhui wore armor and a short skirt as she walked down the street, standing out sharply from the people around her. Everyone on both sides of the street was secretly sizing her up.
At the same time, after the Imperial Capital City Defense Army received word that an alien woman had appeared in Xuanhuang City, they quickly rushed over.
"Clatter, clatter!"
Amid the scraping of armor, a squad of soldiers rapidly approached from the distance. They wore black armor decorated with mysterious ferocious beasts and carried spears.
After arriving before A-Zhui, the city defense squad captain calmly said, "Miss, please show us your Road Pass so that we can inspect it."
"Road Pass?!"
Hearing that, A-Zhui quickly checked the dark information and immediately understood that the Road Pass was something similar to identification.
Seeing that the alien woman before him still couldn't produce any identification, the squad captain's expression turned cold. He then waved his hand and ordered his men to arrest A-Zhui.
"Anyone without identification is considered an alien. Arrest her and throw her in prison. If she resists, kill her without mercy."
Hearing this, A-Zhui was speechless. She hadn't expected the checks in Xuanhuang City to be so strict. She then spread her wings and instantly flew into the air.
"She can fly?!"
Seeing A-Zhui flying into the sky, the squad captain's expression changed.
When the surrounding civilians saw this, many of them knelt on the ground and shouted all sorts of names. The general meaning was that she was a god or something similar.
After all, the Yanhuang Empire had developed from local tribes. There were countless different tribes among its people, and many tribes had their own beliefs. Creatures capable of flight were basically regarded as divine beings by all the different tribes.
Looking at the scene below, A-Zhui wasn't surprised in the slightest. She had been stationed in the Milky Way for thousands of years and had seen countless such feudal civilizations. When those people saw her, they were no different from these people.
A-Zhui then flew toward the imperial palace in the city. She wanted to meet the little man who had stolen her first kiss.
"This is bad! Summon the Imperial Guard and protect His Majesty!"
Seeing that the alien woman was actually flying toward the imperial palace, the squad captain's expression changed. He immediately took out an object and fired it into the sky.
With a loud explosion, a blood-red blackbird appeared.
Seeing this, all the armies inside and outside Xuanhuang City sprang into action and rushed toward the imperial palace.
The signal meant that an external enemy had invaded—and had already made it into the imperial palace.
Although no one understood why an enemy had attacked the imperial palace when there was clearly no war, whatever the reason, they had to hurry there and defend the palace.
Otherwise, afterward, all armies that had taken no action would be uniformly deemed traitors.
Qiankun Hall.
Ye Chen wore a black Star Robe as his court attire and sat before a desk, seriously writing something.
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Heh, your ideas are pretty progressive. Are you writing out the development framework for the Industrial Revolution?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression didn't change. After setting down his brush, he turned to look at A-Zhui, who had appeared behind him at some unknown point.
"Impudent! Who are you to dare trespass into Qiankun Hall?"
"Where is the Black Dragon Guard?"
At that moment, Yuan Long, the personal guard standing not far away, also noticed the uninvited guest who had appeared in the hall. He immediately drew his sword and pointed it at A-Zhui.
At the same time, he shouted sharply to summon the Black Dragon Guard stationed outside the hall.
Outside, the Black Dragon Guard protecting the hall heard the commotion inside. Their expressions changed drastically, and they rushed in.
When he saw the alien woman standing behind the emperor in the hall, the Black Dragon Guard commander, Long Yu, turned pale.
He hadn't expected the enemy to infiltrate all the way to His Majesty's side despite the Black Dragon Guard's layers of protection.
Looking at the Black Dragon Guard who had stormed in and Yuan Long, who was radiating killing intent, A-Zhui smiled faintly. "Your subordinates aren't bad. They're just a little weak."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was speechless. His subordinates were all ordinary humans. Although they were peerless elites among the military, they couldn't possibly compare with an angel.
"All of you, withdraw. She's an old friend of mine. She won't hurt me. Yuan Long, you withdraw as well."
"Your Majesty..."
Hearing this, Yuan Long looked at A-Zhui worriedly.
"Enough!"
Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned, and everyone immediately felt a tightness in their chests.
Helpless, Yuan Long could only withdraw from the hall.
After everyone had left and the hall doors had closed, Ye Chen looked at A-Zhui with a smile. "A hundred years have rushed by in the blink of an eye. Now we meet again."
As he spoke, Ye Chen gazed at A-Zhui's face with unconcealed fervor.
"Hehe, you're not being honest at all. Looks like you want to get beaten again."
Seeing Ye Chen's undisguised gaze, A-Zhui's face reddened slightly as she threatened him viciously.
"If you dare beat me today, I'll make it up to myself by taking it from you in the future."
Ye Chen wasn't afraid of A-Zhui's threat at all. So what if he got beaten? It was no big deal.
Besides, there was nothing shameful about being beaten by his future wife. At worst, he would get his revenge in bed later.
