Yan and Azhui

Next, it was up to Little Azhui.

Keisha: "..."

She suddenly felt that these Little Angels might have a bit of a problem with reading comprehension.

She had clearly been encouraging them, passing on her convictions, and...

Forget it.

They could interpret it however they wanted.

She was tired.

Really.

Seeing her "utterly exhausted" expression, Hexi laughed so hard she doubled over.

"Old geezer, looks like everyone understands your 'retirement plan' just fine~"

Keisha shot her a look.

"Old demon, keep laughing and see if I don't 'retire' right now and leave Heavenly City in your hands."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Hexi hurriedly waved her hands. "I can't handle that bunch of little girls. You'd better keep being 'tired'~"

Keisha snorted and ignored her.

But the corner of her mouth curled into the faintest smile.

The process had been a little... unexpected.

But the result seemed... not bad?

At least these Little Angels had started thinking about the "future."

Started thinking about a "future" without her.

That was enough.

[After Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin die, the Secondary Biological Engine in their bodies will activate—that is, the Void Engine. Hexi just gave it a different name.]

Hexi's eye twitched—

You're just going to expose my old—cough, expose your big sister like that?

The island villa.

Angel Yan blinked her golden eyes and reread the passage, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Beside her, Azhui stared at her in shock and curiosity.

"Sister Yan... do you really have a... Secondary Biological Engine inside you?"

Angel Yan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, then shook her head.

"I don't know."

After a pause, she continued.

"But I think... I probably do. After all, that 'transmigrator' of ours said so."

Their expressions were complicated.

After all, the Angels had never accepted the idea of the "Void."

You could even say they had... resisted it.

But now, there might be a "Void Engine" inside her body—

Though the Queen and the Heavenly King had named it the "Secondary Biological Engine," just as Su Bai had written in his diary...

It was simply a different name.

Fei Leize.

"Eh—?!"

Zhixin's eyes widened, and she jumped straight up from the rock.

Still unable to believe it, she checked the diary again, then instinctively lowered her head to look at the curves of her chest that practically invited "auto-aim."

"Th-this means I have a Secondary Biological Engine inside me?"

"Did my teacher put it in? She must have secretly installed it when I upgraded to a Third Generation Angel..."

Zhixin murmured to herself, deep in thought.

"The Secondary Biological Engine... is the Void Engine, just with a different name?"

"Too bad I don't have an Anti-Void Ability. Otherwise..."

As if she had thought of a possibility, her eyes suddenly lit up, as though sparks were dancing in them.

Just as everyone was eagerly awaiting what would happen next—

[Xiao Xue says it's time to go to sleep. We'll talk about the rest next time.]

[Good night, everyone.]

Even Rui Mengmeng, who was usually rather meek, felt like swearing.

Who did that?!

He'd gotten everyone interested—

Then he went to sleep?!

Angel Yan still wore a smile.

But no matter how you looked at it, there was something... dangerous about it.

"Very good, kid. You've got quite a knack for this~"

"Just make sure your big sister doesn't catch you!"

The words practically grated out through her teeth.

Maybe that system called Xiao Xue had really told Su Bai to stop writing and go to sleep, but being left hanging like this—

Yan wasn't about to just let it go.

Xiao Xue was bound to Su Bai, after all.

She, Angel Yan... would get even with them for this!

The diary stopped updating.

But the frustration of being left "hanging" lingered in the hearts of every woman who held a copy.

Merlo Heavenly Court.

Hexi looked at the diary's final line, "Good night, everyone," and couldn't help laughing.

"This little guy... sure knows how to have fun."

Keisha shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Looks like... he's got us all wrapped around his finger."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Hexi shrugged. "At least it means he's not a 'pawn' who'll do whatever he's told. He has his own ideas and his own pace... That's what makes him a 'protagonist.'"

Keisha didn't argue.

She knew Hexi was right.

"So..." Keisha said softly, "he may be more 'clearheaded' than we thought."

"Perhaps." Hexi nodded. "But either way, he's still 'growing.' Before he fully awakens, we have plenty of time to... observe him, guide him, and even... 'educate' him."

A sly glint flashed in her eyes.

"For example, teach him... some 'manners.'"

Keisha raised an eyebrow. "What are you planning?"

"Nothing." Hexi smiled innocently. "I just think... children shouldn't stay up late. It's bad for their development. We 'elders' ought to show him some proper 'care.'"

Keisha: "..."

In the next room, Qilin was feeling rather helpless too.

Xiao Bai really was...

Everyone who'd read the diary probably wouldn't sleep well tonight.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Qilin prepared breakfast for Su Bai early, then headed to work.

As for lunch...

This time, she didn't ask the restaurant downstairs for help.

She and Azhui had already made arrangements while chatting earlier:

While Qilin was at work, Azhui would look after Su Bai.

It sounded a bit like "babysitting"...

Though...

That was pretty much what it was.

There wasn't much difference between Su Bai now and a child.

Only when the sunlight filtered through the curtains and warmed Su Bai's bottom did he slowly wake.

He got up, washed, and then went to the dining table.

Su Bai picked up a fried egg and popped it into his mouth—

Mm, still warm.

After enjoying the breakfast Qilin had carefully prepared, Su Bai wondered what he should do next.

Just then, someone gently knocked on the door.

He looked up. His gaze seemed to pierce through the door, and he could already "see" what was outside.

Two stunning blond women stood quietly before it.

He recognized one of them: Azhui.

But who was the other? Azhui's friend? Another Angel?

Before he could dwell on it, Su Bai had already gotten up and opened the door.

His gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment. Azhui's eyes curved, and a sweet smile spread across her face.

Today, she hadn't combed her long hair into her usual slicked-back style. Instead, her smooth blond hair fell naturally over her shoulders.

The other woman, whom he didn't know, also had long, flowing golden hair. Her lips were slightly upturned as she calmly met Su Bai's gaze.

Her eyes, however, were filled with unmistakable amusement.

That's right, Azhui hadn't come alone.

Yan had come with her.

In fact, if she hadn't been concerned that it was inconvenient for her to show herself just now, Hexi had originally planned to come along with them.
