A Zhui's Love Vow, Sword Points to the World

"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you really can win A Zhui's heart, I won't stand in the way of this matter. But if you can't, that's on you. So, good luck!"

With that, Angel Yan teased with a playful smile.

As A Zhui's direct superior and one of her guardian angels, Angel Yan certainly had the authority to say such things.

Seeing Angel Yan like this, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. He could only think that Angel Yan was just as unreliable as she was in the storyline.

Then, Angel Yan gave Angel Mo Yi a look, followed by a meaningful pat on A Zhui's shoulder. "We'll wait for you outside Blue Star!"

With those words, Angel Yan and Angel Mo Yi left Qiankun Hall.

In the end, the entire hall was left with only Ye Chen, A Zhui, and the expressionless Secretary-General Yuan Lan, whose eyes were full of curiosity.

"Cough, cough!!"

Feeling the sudden awkward atmosphere in the hall, Ye Chen was a bit uncomfortable too.

As a super single dog who had lived for over two hundred years, he still wasn't used to this kind of situation.

Glancing at Yuan Lan beside him, Ye Chen immediately said, "Yuan Lan, you're not needed here. Go wait outside."

"As you command!"

Ye Chen's words brought a look of disappointment to Yuan Lan's eyes. After all, this concerned the Emperor's marriage—it was a pity not to witness it firsthand.

After Yuan Lan left, only the two of them remained in the hall.

Seeing no outsiders, A Zhui finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thousands of years of battle, this was her first time dealing with something like this, and she had no idea what to do.

Especially since Angel Yan had such a loose tongue, it left her mind in turmoil.

With thoughts swirling in her head, A Zhui forced a calm expression and casually sat down on a nearby chair.

"A hundred years have passed. You look more and more like an emperor now."

Seeing A Zhui like this, Ye Chen didn't expose her facade. Instead, he sat down nearby like an old friend and chatted.

As time passed, the two gradually grew more familiar.

It was funny to think—though they had known each other for two hundred years, even counting this meeting, they had only seen each other three times.

And each time was a hundred years apart. Meeting felt even harder than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl getting together.

An hour later.

Blue Star, outer space.

A Zhui flew out of Blue Star with a smile on her lips and came before Angel Yan and the others.

"It looks like our A Zhui had a great time chatting with that guy. Come on, tell us—what secret did you two discuss that you had to block the Dark Data so we couldn't see?"

Seeing A Zhui looking like a lovestruck young girl, Angel Yan immediately knew that A Zhui was truly falling for it. That little brat really had a way with women.

Seeing the two of them looking so gossipy, A Zhui's face flushed slightly. "Yan Yan, I still have to patrol the next planet. I'll be going now."

With that, A Zhui's wings fluttered lightly, and she turned into a streak of light shooting out of the solar system.

Behind her, Angel Yan and the others watched A Zhui flee in panic and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Mo Yi, I think I'll need the Queen to assign me a new guardian angel. A Zhui won't be staying much longer."

"Yan, it's good that A Zhui has found her male god. Over these thousands of years, every time I see our angel sisters fall in battle..."

Mo Yi's words made Angel Yan nod. The war between the Angel Civilization and the demons had cost too many sisters their lives.

Now that A Zhui had found her male god and could stay away from the core battlefield, she was genuinely happy for her.

What she didn't know was that a few hundred years later, Blue Star would become the core battlefield where the universe's major super civilizations converged.

This had been set in motion a thousand years ago when Karl set up the large wormhole on Blue Star and Pluto, ensuring that Blue Star couldn't stay out of it.

"Let's go. Let's catch up to A Zhui. I'm really curious about what they talked about that needed to block the Dark Data."

With that, Angel Yan fluttered her wings and turned into a streak of light, chasing after A Zhui.

Seeing this, Mo Yi smiled and shook her head, then followed.

Though she was steady by nature, usually quiet and reserved, that didn't mean she didn't have a gossipy side.

Qiankun Hall.

After seeing A Zhui off, Ye Chen put away his smile. He looked at the massive world map behind him and spread his hands wide, as if grasping the entire world.

From their conversation just now, especially with mutual feelings in the air, A Zhui—this simple-minded Battle Angel—was no match for Ye Chen.

Then Ye Chen turned around and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Lan, Long Ye, come in."

Long Ye was the successor of Long Yu, the former leader of the Black Dragon Guard. Yes, he took over Long Yu's position.

For Long Yu and Yuan Long, the two old men who had followed him for over a hundred years, Ye Chen held deep affection.

Even when they grew old, he had them each recommend a younger member of their own family to take over their positions.

Two hundred years as an emperor had made Ye Chen a mature ruler, but occasionally, he still didn't act like one.

Because sometimes, he was swayed by his own emotions.

After all, if it were any other Emperor, positions of such immense power and prestige as the personal chief of staff and the head of the personal guard would never be permanently controlled by a single family.

Of course, no other Emperor had lived as long as he had. And as Ye Chen was the founder of the empire, he was confident that as long as he still drew breath, no voice of dissent would dare rise within the realm.

One must remember that Ye Chen had once been known as the Tyrant Emperor.

Now that the old generation of the empire had all died off, no one remembered that when Ye Chen founded the nation, he had piled up heads like mountains and let rivers of blood flow.

Outside the great hall.

Yuan Lan and Long Ye heard the voice coming from within and immediately entered the hall.

"Your Majesty x2"

"Yuan Lan, summon the civil and military officials to the hall. Convene the Grand Court. No delays."

"As you command!"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Yuan Lan and Long Ye were both startled.

They knew that for Ye Chen to suddenly summon all the officials in the dead of night and convene the Grand Court, there must be some major move in the works.

After receiving Ye Chen's order, Yuan Lan immediately hurried away to notify the civil and military officials.

Then Ye Chen turned to Long Ye and said, "Long Ye, your father Long Yu is the one I trust most. When he retired, he recommended you to me. I wonder if I can trust you."

"I would die for Your Majesty!"

"Good, very good. For two hundred years, from the founding of the empire to this day, the Long family has been filled with loyal martyrs. I have seen it all. Now I intend to form the Kunpeng Force to guard Yanhuang Airspace and set my sights on the world. I wonder if you are capable of shouldering this great responsibility."
