Angel Zhui even spat and said irritably, "How could the Celestial Keel King say something like that? Even if she did, she'd be calling you, Sister Yan."
Angel Mo Yi nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Exactly, exactly. And Sister Yan, your wings are the biggest. Only you can wrap him up."
Just as the three of them were chatting away, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Yun Ming walked out in sportswear, still dripping wet. His appearance stunned all three of them, and Angel Yan cried out in surprise, "He finished showering that fast? It hasn't even been three minutes!"
Yun Ming smiled awkwardly and explained, "I'm used to getting things done quickly."
With that, he hurried toward his room.
"You... why are you so eager to get dressed without even drying yourself off?" Angel Yan could not help complaining, her tone carrying a trace of disdain. "You're way too casual. It's practically unbearable to look at."
"I like doing things my own way!"
Yun Ming looked around, found no suitable seat, and shamelessly sat down beside Angel Yan as though he did not care in the slightest.
"You call that doing things your own way? I don't even want to put it too harshly." Angel Yan rolled her eyes at Yun Ming, but to him, that look seemed more like a flirtatious glance.
Yun Ming did not continue dwelling on the subject. Instead, he turned back to asking about the angels taking him away.
"If you can take a proper shower, then I might consider agreeing." Angel Yan remained relentless, a teasing note in her voice.
Yun Ming was instantly speechless. This woman really knows how to twist things around. Why is she so hard to deal with?
He nitpicked, "I've been here for days, and I haven't seen any of you take a bath either."
Angel Yan immediately raised a brow and pointed at herself as she said seriously, "We're angels. Do you know what angels are? We're gods, not mortals! To put it in one of your Blue Star sayings: I kill without blinking, and you're asking whether my eyes are dry?"
Yun Ming was startled by her answer and jumped to his feet in shock. "What? You kill without blinking? That's way too brutal!"
Angel Yan stared at his exaggerated reaction, initially stunned and unable to process it.
Angel Zhui and Angel Mo Yi, meanwhile, could not help covering their mouths as they laughed, finding Yun Ming's reaction truly amusing.
After a while, Angel Yan glared at Yun Ming, rolled up her sleeves, planted her hands on her hips, and said fiercely, "That's right, I'm brutal! Now I want to beat you up again!"
Seeing this, Yun Ming quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. "No more jokes, no more jokes."
It was not that he did not want to joke around, but that he did not know how anymore.
He had not flirted with girls in years and had long forgotten how to handle this sort of situation.
Yun Ming generally preferred being direct.
"Tch!" Angel Yan snorted disdainfully. She lifted her flawless chin with a proud air and said, "Who was joking with you?"
Yun Ming ignored Angel Yan. After hesitating briefly, he slowly said, "I want to try absorbing your energy."
Thinking back to Angel Mo Yi transmitting energy to him during his treatment earlier, he still could not forget the sensation of his Inner Force being amplified.
That gave him a new idea for increasing his strength.
As soon as he spoke, the three angels immediately recalled what had happened earlier.
Angel Yan stared intently at Yun Ming with an unreadable look, as though trying to see through his thoughts.
Angel Mo Yi asked with interest, "Did the energy I transmitted to you really help?"
Angel Zhui added meaningfully, "Our energy comes from stars. Can your martial art absorb that too?"
Yun Ming naturally knew that their energy came from stars. He nodded and answered, "I felt that it was very useful. Can you let me try again?"
Angel Mo Yi looked at Angel Yan. After seeing her nod in agreement, she extended her delicate hand.
Yun Ming did not stand on ceremony, but rather than directly grabbing Angel Mo Yi's hand, he kept some distance from her.
He used the miraculous Energy Absorption Technique from his memories.
Yet in the next instant, a vast and scorching energy surged violently into his body.
Yun Ming's expression changed drastically!
He felt as though he had not absorbed mere energy, but an incomparably violent ball of flame. His Inner Force immediately churned madly like boiling water that had been set alight.
"Mo Yi, let go of him!"
Yun Ming's body rapidly turned red at an astonishing speed, like a cooked crayfish, with steam continuously rising from all over him.
All three angels were shocked, and Angel Yan immediately shouted for her to stop.
Angel Mo Yi hurriedly withdrew her hand as well.
Angel Yan swiftly grabbed Yun Ming's arm and immediately sensed the boiling energy surging through his body. At once, she understood what had happened.
Angel energy came from stars and was so powerful that even lifeforms with Super Genes found it difficult to absorb directly.
Yun Ming was essentially just an ordinary mortal of flesh and blood. How could he possibly withstand such an impact of energy?
"You little fool, you were far too reckless." Angel Yan scolded him irritably. She found that Yun Ming's body was almost half-cooked. If not for the miraculous Inner Force supporting him from within, he would likely have died on the spot.
"We need to actively convert the energy into a specific form for you." Angel Zhui's bright, expressive eyes were filled with helplessness.
Her cool, gentle energy slowly flowed into Yun Ming's body, rapidly lowering his temperature as his burned body gradually began to heal.
"Huh?"
Angel Yan suddenly revealed a surprised expression and gave a soft cry before looking strangely at Yun Ming.
"Although you brought this suffering upon yourself, you've at least gained something from it."
She discovered that after being burned this time, the quality of the energy inside Yun Ming's body had improved considerably, as though it had undergone some sort of transformation. Moreover, his damaged cells had also been enhanced to a certain extent during the healing process.
Yun Ming paid no attention to Angel Yan's astonished expression. He was still immersed in the pain of what had just happened.
That single absorption had felt like swallowing boiling water directly. The agonizing sensation still left him unable to recover.
Only after quite some time did Yun Ming gradually come to his senses. He clasped his fists toward the three angels and said, "Thank you, three sisters, for saving my life. Yun Ming is deeply grateful."
"You really are interesting." Angel Yan laughed despite herself.
"You suddenly came out with that, and it's making us feel unaccustomed to it." Angel Zhui could not help laughing.
She remembered how he had spouted all sorts of crooked logic at them a few days ago. At the time, she had no favorable impression of Yun Ming at all.
Now, her impression of Yun Ming had changed greatly.
Angel Mo Yi also smiled. "This was my fault. What are you thanking me for?"
"I was too reckless, too impatient." Yun Ming shook his head.
Angel Yan looked at Yun Ming with a faint smile and slowly said, "Although you suffered a little this time, it wasn't entirely without gain. Try sensing your Inner Force."
