The Chosen One

"Hexi, do you really want to take over as Angel King as soon as possible?"

Kaisha stood to the side, looking at the large pit where she had just been sitting, and the partially burned vegetation from the scattered sparks, teasing Hexi.

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you!"

Hexi simply felt that Kaisha's words had hit the mark, making her a little shy, so she lashed out.

Now, her shyness and anger had been vented with that sword strike, so Hexi naturally put her sword away.

Even if they were to fight, they should do it outside. Fighting here and damaging things would make her feel heartbroken later. This was her meticulously arranged private garden!

Kaisha smiled and walked closer to Hexi.

"Alright, my dear Hexi, my successor, the new Angel King who will lead the Angel Civilization through the chaotic era. Use your brilliant mind and think, which Angel will you choose to contact Su Luo?"

"Hmph, think what? I know exactly what you're thinking!"

Hexi glared at Kaisha and walked towards a nearby pavilion.

The two returned to the pavilion. Hexi poured herself a cup of tea, completely ignoring Kaisha. Kaisha didn't mind and cheerfully poured herself a cup of tea.

After they both drank the tea, Hexi spoke again.

"You're telling me to consider who to choose, but aren't you subtly trying to get me to choose Zhixin?!"

Kaisha just smiled and said nothing.

"First, you arranged for me to take your place, then you talked about true love for that little guy! Loving him for who he is, not his genes..."

"First, you told me to approach that little guy, and I refused. Then, using my agreement to succeed you as an excuse, you made me decide..."

"Heh... Once I inherit the throne, the only Angel who is closest to me, shares my ideals without any disagreement, and still holds hope and fantasy for true love, will be Zhixin!"

Hexi looked at the smiling, silent Kaisha, rolled her eyes, and pouted at her.

"Why are you pretending? Don't you just think I cherish Zhixin and are afraid I'll stop your arrangements for her marriage?"

Kaisha nodded, not denying it.

"After all, you are Zhixin's teacher! You treat Zhixin like your own daughter."

"Next time, don't beat around the bush with me. Just say what you mean! For the future of the Angels, as long as you have a valid point, would I deliberately stop you?"

Hexi sighed.

"I just... want Zhixin to have more power to choose!"

Kaisha remained silent, just looking at Hexi, waiting for her decision.

"However, considering that this little guy is indeed a good candidate... it wouldn't be wrong for Zhixin to marry him! Contacting him is acceptable!"

"Remember, I said contact! Not like your old ways, where you'd just betroth them without a second thought!"

"You yourself said it, we can't just choose that little guy for his genes, but for truly loving him!"

Hexi shrugged.

"Since it's true love, then it shouldn't just be us choosing that little guy. He should also have the right to choose us, shouldn't he?"

Kaisha nodded in agreement.

"I'll have Zhixin go!"

After saying that, Hexi waved at Kaisha, signaling her to leave.

Kaisha didn't move, just watched Hexi silently.

"Is there anything else?"

Hexi glanced at Kaisha, who hadn't moved at all, and asked impatiently.

"Have Zhixin go as soon as possible! It's best if she leaves right now!"

Hexi rolled her eyes at Kaisha.

"Didn't you assign Zhixin to protect Enixide on Fred a while ago? Don't you remember? Now you want Zhixin to leave immediately... Does she not need to hand over her duties?"

Kaisha nodded silently.

"Indeed, Enixide is a problem!"

"Have Zhixin return directly! Since we've made our choice, Enixide is no longer the best successor candidate!"

"Yes, and have Zhixin bring back all the other Angels stationed on Fred. We don't need to put so much effort into the Fred system anymore! As for Enixide... consider this a test. If, after the Angels leave, she still holds onto her faith in the Angels, it wouldn't be impossible for her to become an Angel and join Amagi!"

Kaisha set the tone for this matter.

As for the Angels failing after contacting Su Luo... as the saying goes, who could resist the charm of an Angel?

Hexi looked at Kaisha and shook her head, saying nothing, not raising any objections to Kaisha's decision.

"I'll send the message first, telling Zhixin to lead the Angels to withdraw, then you send Zhixin a message to meet up with Yan. Then, have her go and make contact with the little guy!"

"You know, if I were the one to give Zhixin the message to contact a certain god... she might misunderstand it as me assigning her a future god! Our plan is for true love, so it's better to let Zhixin observe and fall in love with him herself..."

Hexi nodded. Not long after Kaisha issued the order for Zhixin to withdraw, Hexi also sent a message to Zhixin.

After Zhixin replied, Hexi nodded to Kaisha.

"Zhixin is already leading the warriors in evacuation. As for the little one, she'll get there as soon as possible!"

Kaisha nodded. Finally, with these arrangements made, she could finally relax!

Seeing Kaisha's relaxed demeanor, Hexi narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Kaisha, there's a question I need to ask you!"

"Go ahead, Hexi."

Kaisha poured herself a cup of tea. After talking so much, she was indeed a bit thirsty.

"How do you plan to arrange things for Yan? Originally, your plan for Yan's future was for her to combine with Galaxy Power, but now you've chosen that new little one and are preparing to have Zhixin marry him."

"What about Yan? How do you plan to arrange things for her?"

"Or are you planning to bet on both sides?"

Hexi narrowed her eyes, looking at Kaisha's fair face, waiting for her answer.

"No, it's not about betting on both sides. I did consider letting Yan inherit the throne and have her interact with that little one at first, but... Yan's personality..."

Kaisha said, shaking her head.

"Like I said, after inheriting the throne, Yan would most likely still adhere strictly to the Justice Order... It's my fault too, I might have over-trained Yan back then. She went from questioning the Justice Order a bit to being someone who insists on upholding it no matter what..."

"So? How are you going to arrange things for Yan?"

Hexi watched Kaisha shake her head, offering no comment, and continued to inquire.

"Yan has also reached the age where she should retire!"

Kaisha sighed and made her decision.

"Before I leave, I will arrange for Yan to retire from the Angel Legion! Firstly, it's to remove the shackles on Yan, allowing her to enjoy the life she wants. Secondly, after I leave, you will succeed me. At that time, the situation in the universe will inevitably change. Although Yan respects you, she is my disciple after all, and a firm defender of my ideals. Having her remain in the Legion will always affect your rule! For the same reason, let Leng retire too! Those two are currently the oldest in the entire Angel Legion! As for Kaila, that depends on her personal wishes. I believe in her! She will also be a capable assistant to you!"

Hexi shook her head at Kaisha, who was deep in thought.

"That's not important. I mean... Yan's future."

Kaisha blinked, understood Hexi's meaning, and nodded at her.

"The heavy responsibility of the Angel Civilization will no longer be on her shoulders. At that time, let her pursue her own true love! Speaking of which, when Yan first came to Amagi, she was also clamoring about finding someone she liked..."

Kaisha smiled, as if recalling the Yan of the past. Hexi also seemed to be reminded of memories and smiled along.

The two reminisced about the past for a while before returning to their previous topic.

"What if Yan falls for that little one?"

Hexi looked at Kaisha and asked abruptly.

Kaisha froze for a moment, looking at Hexi, who was watching her with amusement.

After a long while, she shrugged helplessly.

"Then it depends on whether Zhixin can accept it, and whether you, the 'mother-in-law,' are willing!"

(Hexi: He was supposed to be my god, but he became my son-in-law? Zhixin: He was supposed to be my grand-teacher, but he became my god?)
