"Qi Lin, did you forget that you had something to tell me?"
In the small grove at the entrance of the Super Seminary, Long Qian pinned Qi Lin against a large tree and asked seriously.
After the three of them had breakfast that morning, they spent the entire morning shopping in Juxia City's CBD.
It had to be said that girls really loved shopping, whether it was Qing Qing, who was several hundred years old, or Qi Lin, who was twenty-six or twenty-seven.
Shopping and buying things seemed to be a girl's natural instinct.
And Long Qian, naturally, was the two girls' designated bag carrier.
After they finished shopping, Qing Qing left the rest of the time to Long Qian and Qi Lin.
She spent every day with Long Qian now, but Qi Lin was different. She only had one day a week.
She had no objections to Long Qian liking both her and Qi Lin.
Just as Angel Yan had said, angels had infinite lifespans. They had all the time in the world to wait. They had already waited thousands of years, so waiting another few hundred or thousand years was nothing.
Thus, in Qing Qing's eyes, as long as her Male God was happy, she would be happy.
And naturally, she would leave plenty of time for Qi Lin, her close girlfriend.
"A-Qian, what are you doing?"
Qi Lin blushed, lowered her head, and asked softly.
She had grown up with countless people pursuing her and confessing to her, but this was the first time someone had pinned her against a wall.
And now, her heart was beating even faster.
"Mm... Didn't you say you'd give me an answer in a week?"
Long Qian looked at Qi Lin, who was half a head shorter than him, and asked teasingly.
Since Qi Lin had said last week that she needed a week to think it over, it wasn't too much for him to ask for the result.
Besides, he hadn't brought it up first. But since Qi Lin had already said it, he had to take the initiative, right?
He couldn't possibly wait for Qi Lin to say, "Long Qian, can I be your girlfriend?" Wouldn't that be ridiculous?
Though he wasn't on the level of Li Zongheng, the King of Simps, he could still be considered a little prince of romance in theory.
Of course he knew when he should make a move and when he should confess while pursuing a girl.
But right now, he needed to seize the initiative and directly ask for her answer.
"Ah... What? I... I don't know. Did I say that? I don't remember..."
Qi Lin began playing dumb, immediately delivering a triple denial.
She wanted to tease Long Qian too. Who told him to frighten her so badly with that sudden move just now?
"Sigh, looks like I'll have to wait several more years. My life is truly miserable!!!"
Seeing Qi Lin act shamelessly, Long Qian sighed helplessly.
The revolution had yet to succeed; comrades still had to work hard.
It seemed that if he wanted Qi Lin to agree to be his girlfriend, he still had to keep trying.
"Then guess whether I've made up my mind!"
Qi Lin found teasing Long Qian so much fun. Even though he was in his twenties, he felt like a child.
"Hmm???"
Long Qian, who had been sighing just moments ago, froze when he heard that. Then his expression brightened as he said, "I guess you've thought it over. You agree!"
"Mm, A-Qian guessed right. I agree."
Qi Lin directly hugged Long Qian and spoke very gently.
"Wow... That's great..."
Hearing Qi Lin agree, Long Qian was as happy as a child, holding her as he spun around in circles.
"Alright, alright, put me down. It's almost time. We have to assemble this afternoon."
After Long Qian held her for quite a while, Qi Lin slowly spoke.
She loved Long Qian's embrace. More importantly, she had resolved one of the most important matters in her life, and now she needed to throw herself wholeheartedly into training.
Ever since enrolling, she had always been restless and distracted. But the moment she agreed to Long Qian, she felt relieved.
She could balance studies and romance—or rather, protecting the country and romance.
"A-Qian, be careful. Don't try to play the hero if you run into danger!"
"Mm, okay. I'm so afraid of dying, I'd never try to play the hero. Hehe..."
"Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true. Today is a good day, we open our doors and welcome the spring breeze..."
"No, shouldn't I be singing 'Good Luck' to match my mood?"
After seeing Qi Lin into the school, Long Qian was in an exceptionally great mood.
But as soon as he reached the bottom of the building, he sensed that something was wrong—a murderous aura.
His body had been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, and he sensed something unusual permeating the air.
He seemed to smell blood.
Could Qing Qing be upstairs, chasing a criminal?
He immediately began searching for the source of the bloody smell.
"Yan... Hehe... I may not... live long enough to see my Male God return!!!"
"I'm sorry, Qing Qing. I didn't investigate thoroughly enough. I never expected Sky Scum to still exist on Earth."
"Yan, you don't need to blame yourself. To die for justice is no great loss. It's just... my Male God... he..."
Inside the room, Qing Qing was slumped on the floor. Blood was still seeping from the wound in her abdomen. Though it was not much, the wound could not heal itself, and her Angel Gene was on the verge of completely collapsing.
On her way back just now, she had noticed someone following her, so she led the stalker to an open, deserted place.
But she had never expected that there would still be one of her kind on Earth: a male angel who looked thoroughly evil.
Having spent hundreds of years in the Angel Nebula, she had never heard from her companions or Angel Yan that male angels still existed.
That was why she had been caught off guard and fallen victim to that male angel's attack.
During their battle after she was wounded, she had also obtained some useful information from the male angel: the ancient God Slayer, Sumari.
Although she had fought with all her strength, she had no way of defeating that male angel.
The other party was too powerful and far too experienced in battle. He also held a Dark Silver Weapon. She was completely unable to beat him and was at an absolute disadvantage. Even the Flame Sword in her hand had been cut in half.
Sumari was a formidable enemy. She simply could not withstand him and was ultimately defeated.
However, he had not killed her on the spot. Instead, he wanted her Angel Gene to collapse on its own, making her witness her own death. He truly was a pervert.
Whether Sumari struck in the end or not, she seemed destined to die. It was only a matter of time.
And so, dragging her heavily wounded body, she forced herself to return to Qi Lin's home.
She wanted to wait for Long Qian to come back. She wanted to tell him in person that her love for him was true.
"He hasn't returned yet?"
In the Angel Nebula, the helpless Angel Yan asked quietly.
Angels were willing to die for justice. They were willing to fight for Sacred Keisha's justice, and willing to die for the justice of the universe.
But when she thought of how Qing Qing had gone to Earth at her request, she felt deeply guilty.
She could not violate Sacred Keisha's order of justice. Even if she wanted to, there was no way for her to help Qing Qing, since Earth and the Angel Nebula were separated by countless light-years.
Over the past few thousand years, she had taken part in several wars between angels and demons, and many of her sisters had died. Every time, she had been deeply saddened, but there was nothing she could do.
"My Male God... really likes Qi Lin, and Qi Lin really likes him too. He should be able to successfully confess today..."
Qing Qing was happy that Long Qian could successfully confess. As long as Long Qian was happy, she was happy. It was just that she now wanted so badly to lie in his arms and slowly die in his embrace.
"Yan... Can you lead me through the angel's Guardian Angel oath one more time?"
"Mm, alright. Let's say it together. I am willing to become Long Qian's Guardian Angel..."
At this moment, our protagonist was on his way back.
He was searching floor by floor for the source of that bloody aura and was about to reach his front door.
