Sky City

She did not want to bear the feeling of "being taken advantage of" alone. As good sisters, they should share the burden together.

Angel Zhui and Angel Mo Yi mercilessly refused.

Angel Zhui said, "Sister Yan, just make a little sacrifice. Why drag us into this too? Wouldn't that mean we'd be losing out as well?"

Angel Mo Yi, meanwhile, teased, "Sister Yan, he's going to be your dream guy someday. What's wrong with letting him take a little advantage?"

Hearing that, Yun Ming felt extremely awkward. They were making him sound like some filthy hooligan.

In truth, he was quite a proper person.

He was not the sort to get aroused at the sight of a bare arm.

Since Angel Yan was finding it hard to take, Yun Ming did not press the matter. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about you take me to the nearest Life Planet? It doesn't matter whether there's a civilization there. As long as I can survive, that's enough."

He still wanted to go to a primitive Life Planet.

Yun Ming had a faint premonition that these angels might take him to Sky City.

"I'd like to do that too, but unfortunately, an important figure is very interested in you," Angel Yan said quietly.

Yun Ming's heart stirred.

An important figure.

Among the angels, there were only two people worthy of being called important figures.

One was Keisha. If it were her, Angel Yan definitely would not be speaking in such a resentful tone.

Then it could only be He Xi.

He Xi.

Yun Ming was instantly startled.

That woman was a research officer.

If a research officer was interested in him, then it could only be for research.

Yun Ming's pupils contracted, and a chill ran through his heart.

"Kid, your heart is beating so fast. Are you nervous?"

Angel Yan keenly sensed the subtle changes in Yun Ming's body. Yet she detected none of the improper thoughts in his heart and immediately realized that he seemed to have guessed something.

After all, he had the ability to tell fortunes.

"Looks like you've noticed something already. Why not tell me—what exactly did you foresee?" Angel Yan asked with a smile, curiosity glinting in her eyes.

Yun Ming hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is it He Xi?"

At his words, a surge of surprise rose in Angel Yan's heart.

She had expected it somewhat, but she had not expected Yun Ming to even know the Celestial Keel King's name.

"You even know her name?" Angel Yan asked, disbelief all over her face.

As far as she knew, Blue Star's fortune-telling arts were not that miraculous. They should not have been able to predict a specific name.

There was no way Yun Ming could answer that. He could only bluff his way through it, then swiftly changed the subject and said gravely, "I have this feeling that I'm surrounded by danger. Yan, you won't just abandon me, will you?"

He felt that being taken to Sky City was certainly unavoidable.

He could only hope Yan would help him.

"Huh?"

Angel Yan's alluring face was filled with astonishment.

Angel Zhui, who was flying ahead, could not help looking back.

"Why would you feel a sense of danger?" Angel Zhui cast Yun Ming a puzzled glance, then said meaningfully, "Sky City is the sacred ground of justice. No evil can hide there."

"Are you hiding something from us?" Angel Yan's delicate brows drew together slightly as she turned her head and fixed Yun Ming behind her with a sharp gaze.

Hearing that, Yun Ming immediately realized they might have misunderstood. He hurriedly explained, "I foresaw that this He Xi really likes research. The thought of that kind of research makes me very uneasy."

Angel Yan raised her brows slightly and said thoughtfully, "Are you afraid she'll dissect you for research and treat you like a lab rat?"

She could not help thinking of Yun Ming's bizarre Dark Data.

The corners of Angel Yan's lips lifted as she said teasingly, "Looks like you're aware that you have rather unusual traits too."

Her tone and attitude inexplicably stirred anger in Yun Ming's heart.

Originally, he had been trying not to make things too difficult for Angel Yan. But now, he pressed himself directly against her back, leaned slightly closer to her ear, and breathed hotly as he said, "Because I don't know how to explain it either. It's hard for me too."

"You—"

The sudden whisper at her ear, the hot breath brushing against it, made Angel Yan's scalp tingle.

A flush instantly spread across Angel Yan's snow-white face. She nearly threw the person behind her straight out.

"Are you asking to get beaten up?" Angel Yan pushed Yun Ming's forehead away in embarrassment and annoyance. "If you keep this up, I really won't help you anymore."

"My fault, my fault!" Yun Ming said without changing expression. Admiring Angel Yan's golden hair, smooth as satin, he said softly, "Yan, I'm counting on you."

"Pfft."

The two angels could not stop themselves from snickering.

It seemed that their Angel Yan, known as the most flirtatious angel in the universe, was only a master of words in reality. She could not handle this kind of teasing at all.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Angel Yan put on a stern face, trying her best to act like the big sister.

In the vast and boundless universe, time itself lost all reference.

Yun Ming had no idea how long Angel Yan had flown with him.

It was not until they arrived before a towering gate built upon stone cliffs that Angel Yan gently set him down.

Following Angel Yan's graceful steps, Yun Ming entered this mysterious territory.

The view suddenly opened up before him. A broad plaza paved with great jade-white stones came into sight. Ahead of it stood majestic clusters of ancient Roman-style palaces, soaring into the clouds with an awe-inspiring presence. Pure white light spilled across the land, as though draping this holy ground in sacred, radiant robes.

The angels, as the most powerful civilization in the known universe, were the steadfast founders of the Order of Justice.

Standing on this land, Yun Ming could not help feeling its solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Along the jade-stone road leading toward the palaces, Female Angels in helmets and armor stood guard on either side, holding spears and standing tall.

Though he could not see their faces clearly, Yun Ming could imagine that beneath those helmets were incomparably beautiful faces, judging by their graceful figures and long, slender legs.

He could also clearly feel the eyes hidden beneath those helmets settling on him one after another, curiously examining this outsider.

Although Yun Ming knew he ought to remain solemn, he could not help looking around.

"Are they pretty?" Angel Yan teased from ahead, as though she had seen through his thoughts.

"You're prettier," Yun Ming answered without hesitation, his gaze full of sincerity.

"Tch!" Angel Yan snorted softly, clearly not believing him.

Yun Ming really wanted to tell her he was serious.

Because Angel Yan's walk was damn seductive, every bit as impressive as the Mystical Step.

Walking behind her and watching Angel Yan sway her hips—anyone who saw it would understand.
