Zhixin Arrives

"Yan!"

As Angel Yan waited somewhat impatiently, Angel Zhixin, whom Kaisha had assigned to take over the observation mission, finally arrived.

"It's been a long time, Zhixin. How are things on Enixide's side?"

Angel Yan only knew that Kaisha had transferred Zhixin here. She did not know that Kaisha had already withdrawn the Angels stationed in the Fred Star System.

"Yan, didn't you know? The Queen has withdrawn all the Angels stationed in the Fred Star System to protect Enixide."

After thinking all the way here, with her mind filled entirely with matters concerning Su Luo, Zhixin finally reached her destination. The first thing she wanted to do upon arriving was see for herself the man whom, by her speculation, both Queen Keisha and her teacher wanted her to observe and approach—the man who would also become her future male god.

Yet before she could activate the Eye of Insight and look toward Su Luo's location on the planet below, Angel Yan's question disrupted her thoughts.

It seemed Yan still did not know about the Queen's arrangements in the Fred Star System...

"The Queen withdrew all the Angels protecting Enixide? How could that be?"

Angel Yan frowned, briefly confused.

Seeing Angel Yan's puzzled expression, the ever-innocent Zhixin had originally intended to tell Yan about the possibility she had considered earlier. But before she could speak, she remembered that possibility she had deduced... Angel Yan might be interested in her future male god, and for the future of the Angels, the Queen and her teacher had most likely made other arrangements for Yan's future!

Having thought of that, Angel Zhixin gave up on the idea of coming clean with Yan. Instead, she began asking Yan for relevant information.

After all, those had only been her guesses. If she wanted to verify them, she still needed to investigate.

Thus, the pure-hearted Angel Zhixin looked at Yan, who still seemed unaware of the truth, and sighed inwardly.

Keeping things from Yan made her feel somewhat guilty. Thinking that she might even have to compete with Yan for a male god made Zhixin feel even more guilty.

"Yan, I don't really understand why the Queen did this either. Did Queen Keisha say anything to you? After all, we've invested quite a bit of effort into Enixide and guided Enixide for so long, only to just..."

Listening to Zhixin's question, Angel Yan silently shook her head.

"I... don't know! The Queen never told me anything about it before..."

"Nothing at all?"

Zhixin blinked.

Angel Yan shook her head, then raised a slender pale finger and tapped Zhixin on the forehead.

"Nothing at all! All right, little Zhixin. The Queen's decision must have its own deeper meaning. We only need to carry it out! You weren't usually this fond of gossip. Did you spend too long in Fred and get led astray by the ordinary people of the Fred Star System?"

Zhixin shrank back and took a step away. Rubbing the spot on her forehead that Angel Yan had tapped, she shook her head at Yan.

"Of course not, Yan. I'm just curious. After all, the Queen said Enixide was the heir apparent of the Angel Civilization. Now she has suddenly withdrawn all the Angels assigned to protect Enixide, acting as though she no longer cares about Enixide at all. Of course I'm curious!"

Zhixin tried to defend herself.

"All right, stop thinking about it. Like I said, the Queen's decision must have its own deeper meaning! We don't need to think so much!"

After saying that, Angel Yan activated the Eye of Insight and turned to look at a spot on the planet below.

Her gaze landed on Su Luo, who was still asleep. Outside the small house, the sky was still dark, though no longer as black as it had been in the middle of the night. A faint glimmer of dawn had appeared on the horizon, and daylight would come soon.

Zhixin blinked silently. She had failed to pry out any information about Enixide. It seemed Yan truly did not know! Watching Angel Yan's movements, Zhixin also activated the Eye of Insight and followed Yan's gaze, her own eyes falling upon Su Luo as well.

"Yan, is this Su Luo, the one whose observation and contact mission I'll be taking over?"

Angel Yan had been immersed in the peaceful sleeping face of her future male god when Zhixin's voice interrupted her, instantly reminding her of her speculation about why her teacher had sent Zhixin here.

This girl came here to replace me.

Pursing her lips, Angel Yan once again felt pity for Zhixin.

Sighing inwardly, Angel Yan looked at Zhixin and replied.

"That's right, Zhixin. He's Su Luo, the one the Queen assigned you to observe and approach..."

Angel Yan did not stop speaking. Her words were filled with implications that Zhixin should not act rashly and should observe him carefully. She meant to urge Zhixin to wait patiently and not be troubled by the Queen's order—she would help Zhixin resolve it!

But what Zhixin heard was... the Queen had sent her here... which meant that, in her speculation, the Queen knew her teacher's decision to transfer her was the right one!

Having confirmed this, Zhixin grew more confident in her guess. Then, as she listened to Angel Yan's subsequent words, she became even more certain of another thing.

Angel Yan really was interested in Su Luo as a male god! Openly and subtly, her tone was stopping Zhixin from making a move on him...

Although she had understood Yan's meaning, Angel Zhixin still wore that adorably innocent expression.

"Yan, I understand what you mean! I'll carefully observe and approach Su Luo!"

Angel Yan nodded. Looking at Zhixin's cute face, she could not help feeling another wave of pity in her heart.

Poor Zhixin, I'll definitely give you the chance to seek out that bravest male god in the universe you've been hoping for!!!

Seeing Angel Yan's apparent determination to win Su Luo as her male god, Angel Zhixin could not help feeling a little apologetic as well.

This is the Queen's and my teacher's order! Besides, Su Luo truly fits my choice for a male god, so, Yan, I'm sorry!

Both of them felt apologetic toward the other.

"Yan, did the Queen tell you anything about Su Luo? When I came here, I only knew that I was to take over the mission of approaching and observing Su Luo with you..."

"Is there something special about Su Luo?"

Suppressing the guilt in her heart, Zhixin looked at Angel Yan and asked.

She had already confirmed some information from Angel Yan. If she could now confirm the most crucial point, she would be able to determine which of her two previous guesses was closer to the truth!

"Something special about Su Luo?"

Angel Yan blinked. Looking at the questioning Zhixin, she lamented inwardly once again.

Zhixin probably felt that Su Luo truly did not meet her expectations for a male god, but because this was the Queen's order, she wanted to forcibly find reasons to convince herself...

"Well... you've already read the files about him coming from another universe, right?"

"I have, Yan."

Zhixin nodded.

"Coming from another world is what makes him most special! The Queen once said... Su Luo might be the Angels' new future..."

"A new future?"

Zhixin nodded. Her face did not change much, but enormous waves rose in her heart.

Confirmed! It can already be confirmed!

Her first guess was most likely correct!

That meant... her future contact with Su Luo did not merely concern her and Su Luo's future. It also concerned her teacher and the future of the Angel Civilization.

Seeing Angel Yan's obvious interest in her male god, coupled with the guesses she had already verified, Zhixin's resolve became even firmer!

Yan, I'm sorry!
