The two, each with their own thoughts, fell silent at the same time.
But while Rose could remain silent indefinitely, Ashe couldn't. She was still thinking about her side quest to tame a wild horse.
If Ashe didn't take the initiative, how would she know how exciting the story could be!
She walked directly past Rose. Before Rose could react.
Ashe unhesitatingly took Rose's soft hand. Mmm, it was very soft.
Even after years of military training, under the influence of the Super Gene, Rose's hands were still fair, tender, white, and slender.
Unlike others who frequently held guns, she didn't have calluses.
"I was just about to go exercise, and you're going out too, Rose. Where are you headed?"
The moment Ashe took her hand, Rose snapped back to attention.
Being gently pulled forward by Ashe, Rose didn't feel like breaking free for some reason.
Hearing Ashe ask where she was going, she was about to immediately answer that she was going to pick up Ge Xiaolun and take him to the dorm.
But as the words reached her lips, Rose stopped. Her slightly parted red lips hesitated before closing again.
Rose subconsciously felt that not telling Ashe she was going to pick up Ge Xiaolun was like letting Ashe down.
Damn it, what am I thinking!
She banished the chaotic thoughts from her mind.
Opening her red lips slightly, Rose feigned indifference and said, "Ajie wants me to pick up Ge Xiaolun, that university student we picked up from the police station that day. He's also one of the students at Super Seminary."
"I didn't want to go originally, but I have no choice. He's very important to the academy. When Ajie was recruiting him..."
"He used me... and you, to trick him into coming. I have to pick him up to completely trick... recruit him."
She thought she would just casually answer, but Rose didn't know why she ended up explaining in such detail.
Her pair of cold, alluring phoenix eyes looked at the road ahead, but she unconsciously stole glances at Ashe's reaction.
She bit down lightly on her jelly-like red lips, tasting a faint rose scent.
Rose couldn't help but think she'd have to reapply her lipstick later.
Walking side-by-side with Rose, Ashe naturally knew Rose was going to pick up Ge Xiaolun.
After all, Rose's outfit was very distinctive; she only wore it once in the entire story, to pick up Ge Xiaolun.
However, Ashe was a bit surprised that Rose would complain to her. She shouldn't overlook these small details.
You know, in the original story, Rose never complained like others. Even to her own father, Rose only showed her confusion.
"Oh? You sold me out too?"
"What? Ajie isn't going to tell Ge Xiaolun that when he enrolls, we'll be by his side, giving him one-on-one tutoring?"
"How did you know?" Ashe watched as Rose beside her widened her eyes unconsciously.
Ashe explained casually, "Just a normal guess."
"After all, even though it sounds narcissistic, I know how beautiful I am."
"That day when we went to pick up Ge Xiaolun, he stared at you and at us. How could Ajie not notice that?"
"It's normal to use that."
After starting to interact with Morgana yesterday, Ashe realized she could no longer judge her situation based on the original story.
Who kissed Morgana in the original story?
Now, Ashe was the butterfly in the butterfly effect.
As she grew stronger, the scope of her influence would only expand. Ajie's recruitment speech for Ge Xiaolun had changed.
This was not surprising.
"What, you don't mind?" Rose hadn't expected Ashe to be so indifferent.
Ashe asked curiously. When Ajie used her to trick someone, she couldn't help but kick Ajie and mock Ge Xiaolun. Could Ashe tolerate this?
"How could I not mind?" Ashe wasn't someone who would let others manipulate her.
"Here, look!" She took out her phone and showed it to Rose beside her.
"Ajie is coming to pick me up for an examination later. Isn't he going to provide one-on-one service to Ge Xiaolun?"
"I'll help him!" she said with a kind smile.
For some reason, even though Ashe was smiling and her tone was calm, Rose had a feeling that Ajie was in trouble.
But she felt no sympathy for Ajie; Rose didn't care if Ajie suffered.
On the contrary, her voice became a little excited. Rose looked at Ashe beside her.
Meeting Ashe's gaze, Rose said seriously, "Do you need my help?"
"Of course!"
Ashe agreed without hesitation, and she and Rose discussed her next plan.
Meanwhile, as the two were discussing.
On the Ju Xia Hao, Lena and Dukao were watching the video of Ashe's battle from yesterday.
After the video finished playing.
Dukao looked at Lian Feng beside him.
"Lian Feng? How is it? Has Denuo Three still not found any trace of that beastly warrior?"
"No." Shaking her head.
Lian Feng handed the scanning report from Denuo Three to Dukao beside her.
"Since yesterday, Denuo Three has been scanning Earth for any other Dark Energy reactions and sightings."
"But, unfortunately, the other party seems to have completely disappeared from Earth. We haven't found any information."
"Continue monitoring. At least until the Xiong Bing Lian has a certain combat capability, we must be cautious."
"Yes!"
After solemnly instructing Lian Feng, Dukao turned his gaze to Lena beside him.
Seeing her still staring intently at the screen, Dukao asked.
"Lena, what are your thoughts?"
"So cool, ah, no. Cough, cough." She almost revealed her true thoughts.
Lena looked at Dukao, who was watching her seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Lena quickly utilized a skill she had honed while zoning out during lectures from the Grand Tutor at Lieyang. It sounded like an answer, but upon closer examination, it contained no real substance, a typical evasive response that most students who daydream in class would give.
"Very strong, has great potential, recommend focusing on her development."
"Mhm, indeed, Ashe is a Super Soldier who is an unexpected joy for us." Dukao nodded, listening to Lena's answer.
He continued.
"Although she isn't on our system's roster, Ashe's displayed strength far exceeds our imagination."
"If Earth had the time and resources, we would definitely cultivate her properly. It's like we've struck gold."
"But, unfortunately, we can only meet the basic requirements now."
"Lena, this child also requested training and preferential treatment regarding resources. I'll have to trouble you with this on your end."
"During training, create different plans for her."
"The teachers at Earth's Super Seminary, no, we've been detached from the universe's forefront for too long."
With a self-deprecating smile, a hint of melancholy flashed across Dukao's expression before quickly turning resolute.
Dukao said solemnly.
"Alright! Alright! Leave it to me, your goddess!" Lena responded confidently, patting her chest.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you," Dukao nodded, thinking for a moment before continuing.
"Ajie will bring her here later for another physical examination. You can interact with her beforehand then."
"Examination?" Lena glanced at Ashe on the screen.
"No need for such trouble. Once your goddess gives her a power-up, she'll be back to full health in no time."
"That works too." Dukao didn't refuse Lena. He naturally knew that Ashe had essentially defeated six Taotie without taking any damage.
He had originally intended for Ashe to come over for a precautionary check-up.
Now that Lena promised to give her a power-up, the examination was essentially unnecessary.
After all, Super Soldiers inherently possess regenerative abilities; it's just a matter of whether they have enough energy for it to be fast or slow.
"Oh right, Ajie was originally going to pick Ashe up."
"Now, there's no need for that. Since Ajie is free, let him escort you there instead."
"Okay, okay, then I'll be going now. Bye-bye."
"Mhm. Go ahead, Lena. Those kids are in your hands now!"
Waving in response, Lena quickly walked out of the conference room.
Thinking about meeting Ashe soon, Lena couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As for why?
The reason was simple.
For a well-behaved girl raised with strict discipline, what kind of person would be most attractive?
Naturally, it would be a rebellious and cool, free-spirited girl.
Ever since she learned about Ashe's performance up until now.
Lena felt a surge of excitement in her heart.
It wasn't that she had developed feelings for Ashe, but rather she yearned for Ashe's way of life.
Free and unrestrained, doing whatever she pleased!
For Lena, who had always received elite education and strict discipline since childhood, the allure of such a life was undoubtedly immense.
Otherwise, Lena wouldn't have longed for Earth so much.
Aside from the fact that as a main god, she had very little authority and couldn't accomplish much, another reason was that the long-term high-pressure environment and strict upbringing had left this not-so-old main god feeling very suppressed.
With anticipation, Lena found Ajie and they headed to Super Seminary together.
Meanwhile, outside Huang Village.
Seizing the opportunity, the lone Yu Baosheng was transformed into Ato.
Ato, with a serious expression, looked at the large crocodile constantly eating beside the Queen.
He asked in a deep voice, "Queen, is this our new companion?"
"That's right!" Morgana nodded affirmatively, touching her lips meaningfully!
