Kaisha: Plan Complete!

"Are you so sure he'll help us?"

Hexi released Kaisha, no longer pressing down, but still sitting on Kaisha's stomach.

Kaisha could push Hexi away with a slight nudge, but she didn't. She simply lay lazily on the grass, as if basking in the sun, or perhaps feeling her end was near and wanting to savor the elastic touch a little more while she still could.

"I believe in the charm of an Angel!"

Kaisha first gave a reason that Hexi also found convincing.

"From the news Yan sent back, that kid is quite compassionate! The moment he discovered the fire and the demon squad, his first thought wasn't to flee, but to prepare to save people!"

"Although, besides his own personality, there's another part to it! It's because they possess power themselves! They aren't afraid of danger, so they dare to offer help to the weak."

"But it's precisely because of this that I feel even more strongly that this kid will lend us a hand!"

"There are many compassionate people! Countless in the known universe! But how many dare to help in the face of danger?"

"There are many powerful people too, but how many restrain their desires and choose kindness?"

"Karl has power, Morgana has power, and Lieyang, who followed the Heavenly Dao back then, Deno, who was in an arms race... even the Heavenly Palace back then! How did they act?"

"They created death, tempted civilizations to fall, waged war against the weak, civil wars within civilizations, and royal families monopolized power to oppress their own people..."

At this point, Kaisha's voice trailed off. She suddenly felt like laughing.

"Heh!"

Her laughter was somewhat sarcastic. Hexi looked at her, unsure what Kaisha was thinking.

"Possessing power while restraining one's ambition and desires, and being willing to help the weak, brave, righteous, and compassionate..."

"This was the expectation we imbued into the Angel gene fragments that Kiran requested from us when we collaborated with the Super Seminary back then."

"We hoped that by having Angels combine with the Galaxy Power, who possessed such qualities, we could birth the male Angels we longed for in the future Merlot Heavenly Court, not those Heavenly Scum... Yet now, over ten thousand years have passed since the collaboration, our partnership with the Super Seminary has long since broken down, and we haven't even seen a Galaxy Power that meets this condition, let alone any new generation male Angels. Instead, someone from outside the known universe perfectly fits our expectations!!"

"Hexi, you ask me why I think he'll help us?"

Kaisha's expression was serious.

"I don't believe in him, I believe in who we were back then! I believe in the beautiful expectations we held back then! If that kid truly embodies all the good qualities we expected in a male back then, then he definitely won't refuse! The prerequisite is that we treat him sincerely!"

Kaisha paused here, her expression becoming even more serious.

"So, Hexi, if you agree to my proposal and get together with that kid... I hope you can truly love him! Love him as a person! Not for his genes! Love him sincerely, and he will treat you sincerely too!"

"So, Hexi, can you accept this?"

Kaisha looked at Hexi, her eyes unblinking, quietly waiting for Hexi's reaction. Although she had a guess, it hadn't been confirmed yet.

Hexi didn't look at Kaisha but pondered silently.

Gradually, a hint of interest appeared on Hexi's face, which she hadn't managed to control. Kaisha's lips curved into a subtle smile, but she quickly suppressed it. Not out of fear of Hexi seeing it, but because she saw Hexi shake her head silently and knew her plan might fall through.

"Kaisha, I still can't agree."

"Why?"

Kaisha had mentally prepared herself for this before coming, so she wasn't surprised by Hexi's reply.

"Kaisha, I'm not young anymore!"

"What does being older matter? For a lifespan that can be considered endless, thirty thousand years, you can even be considered a young maiden! Including your figure and your appearance, they are like those of the most exquisite young girls, aren't they?"

"But, Kaisha, my mind has matured! It has matured greatly, even excessively so! Thirty thousand years, while not changing my appearance, has changed my inner self! Hasn't it?"

"The me from thirty thousand years ago was green, ignorant, and pure! I would definitely have held expectations and fantasies about what you call true love."

"But now I'm over thirty thousand years old! The pure, ignorant Hexi of the past has experienced many things, her mind has matured, she has experienced war and betrayal! She no longer has those illusions about so-called true love. You should understand, shouldn't you?"

"After all, although our appearances remain the same, we are no longer the innocent and carefree selves we once were! When facing emotions, we naturally think more, don't we?"

Kaisha opened her mouth, preparing to persuade further.

"Hexi..."

Before she could finish, Hexi signaled her to stop.

"Don't try to persuade me, Kaisha. If you insist on using the same words you use for the young Angels on me..."

"Then first, remove that mature makeup you deliberately wear. Go out, walk around Merlot Heavenly Court, and show the Angels your youthful face beneath that mature makeup! If you can do that and prove to me that you still have a girlish heart, then I'll admit that I can too!"

Hexi's retort left Kaisha speechless. She truly didn't want to remove her makeup and felt she was no longer young.

Kaisha sighed. Seeing that she couldn't persuade Hexi, she could only compromise.

"Hexi, even if you say that, ultimately, the one who can accept Merlot Heavenly Court is still you! After all, you don't want the Angels of Amagi to be displaced in the future, or for the Angel Civilization to be destroyed by our hands, do you?"

"Don't threaten me with that weird tone. Even if you threaten me like that, my answer remains the same: I can't do it!"

"We are both no longer young, Kaisha. You can't apply standards that only apply to those young people who still hold illusions about love to me! You should find someone else! I can only guarantee that I will cooperate as much as possible with whomever you choose!"

Hexi waved her hand at Kaisha and got up from Kaisha's stomach, walking to the side.

On the grass, Kaisha watched Hexi walk away, sighing inwardly. Her original goal wasn't Hexi; she just saw that Hexi seemed a bit interested and thought she'd try her luck. While the outcome was regrettable, Kaisha wasn't too bothered.

"Hexi, since you're unwilling, then... I'll leave the responsibility of selecting a candidate to you!"

"Kaisha, are you playing the rogue with me?"

Hexi turned, glaring at Kaisha.

"No, Hexi, I was just... handing over some power in advance!"

Kaisha sat up from the grass, looking at Hexi and smiling.

"Handing over what power?"

"The power of the Angel King!"

"Didn't I just refuse your arrangement?"

Hexi frowned, looking at Kaisha.

"You only refused to approach that little guy, but you didn't refuse to inherit the throne! Didn't I say before? In the future where the little guy is involved, the most suitable heir to the throne is still you!"

"So... since you refused the mission to approach the little guy... then, as the next Angel King, deciding who to send to recruit the little guy, and who can sincerely help the Angel Civilization, naturally becomes your task!"

"You had this plan from the very beginning?!!!"

Hexi realized what was happening, looking at Kaisha with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"First, you teased me with words, made me angry, then you played the victim, bared your heart, and used the opportunity to get me to agree to inherit the throne, and even agree to marry that little guy..."

Hexi recalled the previous situation, gnashing her teeth lightly as she looked at Kaisha, feeling like she hadn't hit her hard enough just now!

"No, no, no, Hexi, you're mistaken. I didn't initially intend for you to marry that little guy. I was just trying to provoke your emotions, and then... I didn't expect you to actually seem a little moved, so... I gave it a try! If it had worked, it would have been even easier! What a shame... you were clearly already moved..."

As soon as Kaisha finished speaking, a fiery red light landed where Kaisha was. However, Kaisha reacted quickly, escaping before Hexi could strike with her sword!
