This Was Just the Mood Taking Over, Wasn't It?

In the end, Ximen Lang still did not get what he wanted.

Inside the room, Leng and Yan were still staring at each other awkwardly.

"Um, why don't I go back today? I don't want to get in the way..." Yan said, her face flushed.

She was too embarrassed to say exactly what she would be getting in the way of, but Leng understood—and she didn't want to say it!

"Get in the way of what?"

"You know."

"What 'you know'? Go to sleep!"

Leng grabbed the quilt and pulled it over herself in one motion.

Yan followed suit and pulled the quilt over herself as well.

And so, the two of them spent the night under their quilts. At daybreak the next morning, they got up almost simultaneously.

"Morning."

"Morning."

After exchanging dazed greetings, Yan went to wash up while Leng went to wake Ximen Lang.

There was no helping it. If no one woke this guy, he could sleep until the afternoon! She came to his bedside and gently nudged him.

"Time to get up."

No response.

"Time to get up." Leng raised her voice slightly.

Still no response.

"I said, get up!"

This time, Ximen Lang woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Leng beside him.

He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and inhaled the fragrance of her hair.

"Wifey, let me sleep a little longer. Just a little."

"You're impossible. I'm going to make breakfast. Get up and eat in a bit."

Leng pulled away his wandering hand and was about to get up when Ximen Lang finally came fully to his senses.

Thinking of what they had failed to do the previous day, he grew excited.

His hands began to wander, and he grew increasingly clumsy... You know what I mean.

Leng was stirred up by him as well, her eyes growing hazy.

But then she thought of Yan...

Wait, had she forgotten to close the door just now? She turned her head, and sure enough—"Ah!!!"

Leng kicked Ximen Lang off the bed and hurriedly climbed up.

"Um, I didn't see anything. Carry on."

Bang.

Yan ran off.

Leng glared fiercely at Ximen Lang.

"It's all your fault!"

But she did not dare provoke him any further, so she could only say angrily,

"Get up already!"

Then she ran off too.

"Ah."

Ximen Lang sighed. What a wonderful opportunity! What a pity.

By the time he went downstairs, Yan had already run off.

The two of them ate breakfast in an affectionate mood before receiving a summons from Queen Keisha.

Angel Temple.

Queen Keisha glanced at the hint of allure between Leng's brows and the womanly charm radiating from her every movement. Then she gave Ximen Lang a meaningful look.

Pi Pi Xi was not nearly so reserved.

She looked Leng up and down in circles, making Leng feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Only then did she walk over to Ximen Lang, pat him on the shoulder, and give him a thumbs-up.

Little Zhi Xin still had no idea what had happened. She stared blankly at Yan.

Yan's face flushed, and she ignored her, leaving Little Zhi Xin completely baffled.

"Ahem. The reason we summoned you here is to inform you that the gluttons have entered the galaxy."

Upon hearing this news, Ximen Lang's expression darkened as well.

The gluttons!

Those bastards!

Seeing Ximen Lang's unpleasant expression, Leng came over and took his hand.

"Well, well, isn't this the chuunibyou—er, the Frost War God? What's this? You've learned to care about someone?"

Pi Pi Xi had absolutely no awareness of herself as an elder and was the first to tease Leng.

Ximen Lang held Leng's small hand and ignored Pi Pi Xi as he replied to Queen Keisha,

"Queen, I want to go to Earth."

Queen Keisha was not surprised. She had known this would be the result long ago.

"Fine. Yan will be going to Earth in a few days. You can go with her then."

"Queen, I want to go too!"

"Oh? So now you're following your husband wherever he goes?" Naturally, that was Pi Pi Xi.

Queen Keisha was still the one who managed to silence her.

"You're her Guardian Angel. Of course you can go with her."

Over the next few days, Ximen Lang devoted himself to fighting Yan.

Of course, calling it a fight was inaccurate. It was more like Yan taking a one-sided beating.

The Glint Fruit was simply that overpowered! The speed and power of light, combined with Ximen Lang's Anti-Void, would turn this into a massacre.

Yan was beaten into shrieks.

In the past, there had been a gap between him and Yan. Although his Anti-Void ability could briefly control her for an instant,

the Power of the Galaxy was too cumbersome, and Ximen Lang was too slow to capitalize on that advantage.

But now that he had the Glint Fruit, everything had changed.

And that was without even mentioning the Glint Fruit's abnormal Energization.

His speed, defense, and strength were completely suppressed, and he had control abilities on top of that. How could he lose? Even when Yan traded wounds and landed a blow on Ximen Lang, the Glint Fruit allowed him to evade it completely.

As for the more powerful Heavenly Blade Judgment...

Do you think Ximen Lang would refrain from using Anti-Void?

Just the need to request authorization alone would let Ximen Lang kick her countless times.

Over the past few days, Yan had been utterly desperate.

But once today was over, everything would come to an end.

Angel Temple.

Ximen Lang painfully took out a Devil Fruit.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit. This was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! His heart ached!

On the other side, Yan was staring at it eagerly as well.

The leaping arcs of lightning on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit were perfect! Absolutely perfect! A flawless match for her!

It was as if it had been tailor-made for her.

Yan reached out and grabbed the fruit, but it did not budge.

"Let go!"

Ximen Lang ignored her and simply repeated himself over and over.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit! This is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

Seeing Ximen Lang act like this, Queen Keisha felt like laughing as well. But she had no intention of stopping them. The younger generation's affairs were not hers to meddle in.

Leng was the one who stepped forward.

"Be good and give it to her. Once you do, she won't pester you anymore."

Leng had also been hounded into submission by Yan. Every day, Yan threatened to steal her male god. Who could stand that?

Hearing this, Ximen Lang's heart ached even more.

But in the end, he chose to let go.

Putting aside the fact that this fruit had been specially provided by the system for the Debt Repayment Mission,

even if it had not been, he still could not eat it.

A person could only eat one Devil Fruit! That was an ironclad rule!

He was not Blackbeard, and he did not have three hearts.

If he ate it, he would explode.

Crack.

Yan took the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and bit into it viciously.

Unlike Leng and Zhi Xin—one wielded ice and the other fire—

she wielded lightning! The instant Yan swallowed the fruit, thunder immediately rumbled across the sky above Merlot Heavenly Court. Dark clouds covered the entire Merlot Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Yan transformed into the ruler of thunder and lightning.

At this moment, she was a god!

Unfortunately, she could not stay cool for more than three seconds.

"Crazy girl! Take it back right now! If you dare blow up the city, just wait and see how I deal with you later!"

He Xi's threat took effect immediately.

Looking at Yan, who had seemed like a divine being just moments ago, Ximen Lang's heart ached even more.

At that moment, the Guardian Oath sounded beside Ximen Lang.

"I am willing to become Ximen Lang's Guardian Angel, to love what he loves,

to think what she thinks,

to bear his pain and endure his hardships, whether in poverty or wealth,

whether humble or noble,

whether in a chaotic age or abandoned by the gods, to fold away my wings for him until eternity!"

Ximen Lang was moved alongside Leng when another new oath suddenly rang out.

"I am willing..."

She had barely begun when He Xi covered her mouth and interrupted her.

"What are you doing?!"

Yan finally came to her senses and said with an embarrassed laugh,

"Wasn't this just the mood taking over? I was just livening up the atmosphere."

P.S. I got a private message from the site. I'm so happy.
