A Century Hastily Passes, We Meet Again

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, a century had passed.

Blue Star, outer space.

"That guy should be dead of old age by now, right?" Looking at the azure Blue Star before her, A Zhui couldn't help but think of the man who had forcibly kissed her a hundred years ago.

As she spoke, A Zhui unconsciously touched her lips.

They say the most unforgettable thing is first love. Though A Zhui and Ye Chen weren't lovers, he was the first man to steal her first kiss.

Over these hundred years, she sometimes found herself thinking of Ye Chen involuntarily. It wasn't that she had fallen for him, but rather that he was the man who had taken her first kiss—a memory so vivid it was hard to forget.

Of course, this was mainly because Ye Chen wasn't ugly; in fact, he was quite handsome.

After all, no matter the creature, before truly understanding someone, looks are justice, and values follow the face.

One of the reasons A Zhui hadn't killed Ye Chen with a single sword strike back then was that he was handsome and fit her aesthetic.

Otherwise, if some ugly freak had dared to kiss her, he'd have been burned to ashes in the next second, with no chance to speak.

Then, A Zhui activated the Dark Information Scanning System, and in an instant, a white film covered her eyes.

After a while, A Zhui's pupils returned to normal. Her expression was strange now—she hadn't expected that the man who stole her first kiss hadn't died of old age but was still alive and well.

Not only that, but in these hundred years, he had even established an empire.

Thinking of the information she had just scanned, A Zhui felt a flicker of curiosity about Ye Chen. She wanted to figure out what was going on with him.

With that thought, A Zhui flew toward the location of the Yanhuang Empire.

After arriving at Xuanhuang City, the capital of the Yanhuang Empire, A Zhui retracted her wings and walked along the bustling streets.

Stepping on the cement-paved ground, A Zhui observed the living conditions and environment of the surrounding citizens, nodding from time to time.

"It seems this little man does have some skill—being able to govern the empire in an orderly manner, with the people living and working in peace. That alone proves he's a qualified emperor."

A Zhui, clad in armor and a short skirt, walked down the street, looking out of place among the crowd. People on both sides of the road secretly sized her up.

At the same time, the Imperial Capital Defense Army, upon receiving news that an alien woman had appeared in Xuanhuang City, quickly rushed over.

"Clatter, clatter!"

With the sound of armor scraping, a squad of soldiers in black armor, adorned with mysterious ferocious beasts and holding long spears, rapidly approached from the distance.

Arriving before A Zhui, the leading Squad Captain said calmly, "Miss, please show your Travel Permit for inspection."

"Travel Permit?!"

Hearing this, A Zhui quickly checked the dark information and immediately understood that the Travel Permit was something akin to an identity document.

Seeing that the alien woman before him couldn't produce an identity document, the Squad Captain's expression turned cold. He then waved his hand, ordering his men to arrest A Zhui.

"Anyone without an identity document is considered an alien. Arrest her and throw her in jail. If she resists, kill without mercy."

Hearing this, A Zhui was speechless. She hadn't expected the Yanhuang Empire to be so strict with checks. Then, she spread her wings and instantly flew into the air.

"Flying?!"

Seeing A Zhui soar into the sky, the Squad Captain's face changed.

Meanwhile, many of the surrounding citizens, upon witnessing this, knelt on the ground, shouting various names. The general meaning was something like "gods" or the like.

After all, the Yanhuang Empire had developed from local tribes. Among the Imperial Citizens, there were countless different tribes, many with their own beliefs. Creatures that could fly were generally regarded as deities by most tribes.

Glancing at the scene below, A Zhui wasn't surprised at all. She had been stationed in the Milky Way Galaxy for thousands of years and had seen countless such feudal civilizations. The citizens here were no different from those she had encountered before.

Then, A Zhui flew toward the Imperial Palace in the city. She wanted to see that little man who had taken her first kiss.

"Not good! Summon the Imperial Guards to protect His Majesty!"

Seeing that the alien woman was heading straight for the Imperial Palace, the Squad Captain's face changed. He took out a device and fired it into the sky.

With a loud bang, a Blood-red Xuan Bird appeared.

At this sight, all military forces inside and outside Xuanhuang City mobilized, rushing toward the Imperial Palace.

This signal indicated an external invasion, and the enemy had already breached the palace.

Though everyone wondered why an enemy had reached the palace without any war breaking out, regardless of the reason, they had to immediately defend the palace.

Otherwise, afterward, any military unit that hadn't acted would be deemed rebellious.

Qiankun Hall.

Ye Chen, dressed in a black Star Robe as his casual attire, sat at his desk, earnestly writing something.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Heh, your thinking is quite avant-garde. You're writing about the Industrial Revolution Development System, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. He put down his pen and turned to look at A Zhui, who had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

"How dare you! Who are you to trespass in Qiankun Hall?"

"Where are the Black Dragon Guards!"

At that moment, Yuan Long, the personal bodyguard standing not far away, also noticed the uninvited guest in the hall. He immediately drew his longsword and pointed it at A Zhui.

At the same time, he let out a sharp shout to summon the Black Dragon Guards stationed outside the hall.

Outside the hall, the Black Dragon Guards guarding the palace heard the sound from within, their expressions shifting drastically as they burst inside.

When they saw the foreign woman standing behind the Emperor, the Black Dragon Guard commander, Long Yu, turned pale.

He never imagined that under the heavy guard of the Black Dragon Guards, an enemy had managed to infiltrate the Emperor's side.

Watching the Black Dragon Guards storm in and Yuan Long radiating killing intent, A Zhui couldn't help but smile faintly. "These subordinates of yours aren't bad, just a bit weak."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was speechless. These subordinates of his were all ordinary people—though they were the elite among elites in the military, they couldn't compare to an angel.

"All of you, withdraw. This is an old friend of Imperial We; she won't harm me. Yuan Long, you withdraw as well."

"Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, Yuan Long looked at A Zhui with some concern.

"Hmm!!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly, and instantly everyone felt a tightness in their chest.

Helpless, Yuan Long could only retreat outside the hall.

After everyone had left and the hall doors were closed, Ye Chen finally looked at A Zhui and smiled. "A hundred years have passed in a flash, and now we meet again."

As he spoke, Ye Chen's gaze burned hot, unashamedly fixed on A Zhui's face.

"Heh, you're being very dishonest. Looks like you want a beating again."

Seeing Ye Chen's unabashed stare, A Zhui's face flushed slightly as she threatened fiercely.

"If you dare hit Imperial We today, Imperial We will surely get it back from you in the future."

Ye Chen wasn't the least bit afraid of A Zhui's threat. After all, what was a beating? No big deal.

Besides, getting beaten by his future wife wasn't anything shameful. He could always pay her back in bed later.
