Xing Lan blushed slightly, not expecting Ye Yiqing to confess so directly.
Ye Yiqing continued speaking,
" Hela, do you like me? If you like me too, will you run with me?"
Let's stop doing such dangerous things. I'll take you to a place where there's no danger, no risk to your Life, lots of delicious food, and a comfortable living environment!
Come with me, okay?
Before Hela could say anything, Xing Lan suddenly felt something was off.
"Hey, wait a minute! This isn't right. We're Night Star, we can't let romantic feelings make us forget our responsibilities!"
Ye Yiqing ignored her, staring straight at Hela with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Ye Ciqing also looked at the two with anticipation.
Hela stared into Ye Yiqing's eyes, then turned to look at Xing Lan.
Thinking about what Xing Lan had just said, Hela for a moment and then slowly shook her head.
"I don't know what 'like' means, but Xing Lan is right, we can't leave Night Star because of feelings."
Xing Lan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to praise Hela, Ye Ciqing's angry roar suddenly rang in her ears.
Are you fucking stupid! You beast, stop pretending to be all sympathetic!
Just say you like it and come with us! That way, nothing will happen, isn't that better?
Ye Ciqing shouted angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.
Xing Lan and Hela were both taken aback, not understanding why Ye Ciqing had suddenly become so angry.
Moreover, at this moment, Ye Ciqing suddenly made Xing Lan feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
" Ye Ciqing, are you so emotional because Feng Xuan is dead?"
Don't worry, the Night Star's higher-ups will definitely revive him in the future.
Xing Lan reached out her hand and asked him with pity in her eyes.
Ye Ciqing took a deep breath and calmed down, then turned to look at Xing Lan.
" Xing Lan, have you ever considered joining the Light God Society?"
"Huh?" Xing Lan was a little surprised, wondering if she had misheard.
Ye Ciqing continued, "Your talent is excellent, the quality of the Variant you possess is also quite good, and most importantly, your personality is so likable. If you want to join, the Light God Society definitely welcome you!"
"What are you saying? How could I possibly join the Light God Society?"
Xing Lan shook her head, looking at Ye Yiqing with some confusion.
" Ye Yiqing, Ye Ciqing seems a bit unstable right now. Why don't you try to talk to him..."
Ye Yiqing remained unmoved, but turned to look at Ye Ciqing and sighed softly.
Why make things difficult for yourself...?
Bang!
The moment the words fell, Ye Yiqing suddenly unleashed a burning sword aura, striking the computer that was 99% complete and nearing completion.
The computer was slashed open, and after the screen flickered for a moment, it stopped working completely.
"Ah, what are you doing!"
Xing Lan rushed to the computer, but seeing it spewing sparks and completely destroyed, her heart sank to the bottom.
She looked at Ye Yiqing with shock and confusion in her eyes.
Ye Yiqing slowly put down the burning knife and smiled faintly at Xing Lan.
Ye Ciqing walked to Ye Yiqing's side and sighed helplessly.
"I've been working on this for so long, over a year! And now I have to resort to such a crude method."
"What are you talking about...?"
Xing Lan's mind is in a mess right now; she can't figure out the current situation, and neither can Hela.
However, Hela sensed hostility from Ye Ciqing and Ye Yiqing.
"Fine, I'll tell you out of consideration for our months of teamwork."
As he spoke, Ye Ciqing removed the blindfold from his left eye, and Ye Yiqing also grabbed the blindfold from his right eye.
"We two are undercover agents, our true identities are..."
The two brothers removed their blindfolds, each revealing a scarlet eye that looked like a demon's.
"Members of the Light God Society..." Ye Yiqing slowly continued, while the aura unique to [ Variant Human ] emanated from the two of them.
"You, you all... how could you possibly be traitors!"
Xing Lan stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing.
"You're definitely pretending for our own good, aren't you! You still care about us! We are..."
Sizzle--!
Ye Yiqing's right eye glowed red, and a scorching laser beam shot out from it, sweeping towards the two of them.
Hela reacted quickly, grabbing Xing Lan who hadn't yet reacted, and leaped away from the laser.
The incredibly powerful laser instantly sliced all the computers and other items in the room in half.
Hela remembered; this laser was exactly the same as the one that had been used to rescue [ Night Kill ].
The laser slowly dissipated, Ye Yiqing once again swung [ Fire Imbuement ], sending several sword energies carrying flames slashing towards the two.
Two bone whips instantly burst forth from Hela's back, quickly stained with crimson blood, and stood in front of her.
Clang!
When the sword energy collided with the bone whip, the sword energy carrying flames dissipated instantly, while the bone whip also developed several cuts several centimeters deep.
"You two... what exactly is the reason for this...?"
Xing Lan stepped out of Hela's arms, still refusing to believe that Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing were traitors.
"Snort!"
Ye Ciqing a cold laugh and waved his hand upwards.
Several bone spikes rose from the ground around the two women, aiming at them.
Xing Lan reacted at that moment, spread her wings made of stars, and grabbed Hela, flying into the air.
The bone spikes missed their target, colliding with each other and producing a loud scraping sound and cracks.
Xing Lan understood that this move was clearly aimed at killing them.
Two lines of tears slid down Xing Lan's cheeks as she looked at Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing on the ground and shouted hoarsely:
"Aren't we partners?! We Mingming so happy and joyful together! How could you do this to us!"
"That's just what you think."
Ye Yiqing held up the knife and answered calmly.
But this seemingly ordinary sentence pierced Xing Lan's heart like a blade.
"This isn't an anime or a novel; there's no bond between companions here."
Ye Yiqing's eyes glowed red again, and a laser beam shot straight towards the two of them.
Xing Lan narrowly dodged in mid-air and landed on the ground, creating distance between herself and the two.
Recalling the first time I met the two of them, and the warm days we spent together after they became Special Investigation Squad.
Xing Lan bit her lip, her gaze hardening as she looked at the two of them, as if she had made a decision.
" Hela! Let's go... kill them!"
Xing Lan desperately forced out the last four words from her throat, drew her straight sword, and charged at the two at high speed.
Hela also charged at them, brandishing her bone whip, but for some reason, Hela really didn't want to fight them.
I really don't want to...
