Chapter 26 Talks between the Two Sides
Chapter 26 Talks between the Two Sides
The next day, Li Yao, Angel Yan, and Angel Zhui, who had just arrived on Blue Star that morning, came to the Super God Academy together.
They entered a conference room.
The conference room was quite large, with a long table placed in the center.
Angel Yan was the first to walk to the side and sit down, while Angel Zhui and Li Yao stood on the left and right sides behind her, respectively.
Because Mo Yi didn't come, Li Yao temporarily filled in as Angel Yan's right-wing guard today.
A moment later, the door was pushed open, and another person came in.
As soon as Lena entered, she saw Li Yao. Her eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Hey, Li Laodeng! You're here too?"
Li Yao's lips twitched slightly.
This fool doesn't even consider the occasion before shouting.
He's still young; the title "Old Deng" is more appropriate for Pan Zhen.
Lena walked casually to the opposite side of Angel Yan and plopped down on the floor.
Upon hearing this address, Angel Yan and Angel Zhui frowned slightly, but then seemed to realize something and smiled.
Although Angel Yan found it amusing, she still had to protect her own people.
She leaned back in her chair and teased, "Did I delay your schedule? You're not going to jump over and hit me, are you, little girl?"
Lena immediately retorted, "Not for now, you old hag!"
She mentally screamed: Didn't the database say that Angel Yan was second only to the leader of the Angel Civilization?
That's it?
Why does he talk like Li Yao, so irritating?
Li Yao, however, was watching with great interest from the sidelines.
Here it comes, the iconic scene!
Angel Yan chuckled lightly: "Hehe, if those little brats can't even handle a monkey, then you'd better run away as soon as possible."
"Alright, just tell me what you're here for." Lena was too lazy to argue anymore.
Seeing this, Angel Yan also put away her joking expression and said solemnly:
"Suddenly, Earth is laid bare before the eyes of all the major cosmic powers, and we angels feel we must first ensure its survival in the name of justice!"
"Justice?" Lena raised an eyebrow. "We don't have that word on our planet, Lieyang. Could you explain it to me?"
"Justice is..."
Just as Angel Chase was about to speak, Angel Yan stopped him with a look.
Regardless, Lena is the nominal chief god of the Sun Goddess, and in terms of status, she is on par with Queen Keisha.
Of those present, only Angel Yan was qualified to speak with her.
"Honestly, I envy you." Angel Yan looked at her, her tone unusually serious. "Innocent and carefree."
At this point, she glanced back at the two people behind her:
"Throughout my seven thousand years of warrior life, I have never stopped worrying about my own tomorrow, or theirs."
These words made the two people behind her fall into deep thought.
Li Yao recalled what Angel Yan had said last night, while Angel Zhui thought of the sisters who had sacrificed their lives.
Angel Yan continued:
"The word 'justice' comes from a set of very reasonable laws that Queen Keisha established when she ruled the City of Angels 17,000 years ago, in order to ensure the orderly operation of the known universe. We call it the Order of Justice."
"And a certain..."
"stop!"
Lena suddenly raised her hand to interrupt her: "I remember now. Li Yao mentioned the word 'justice' to me before."
Upon hearing this, Angel Yan turned around and glanced at Li Yao curiously, then asked, "Oh? What did he say?"
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Did you say that yourself?
He's said plenty of lies to children, but I honestly don't remember this one.
He quickly winked at Lena, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Lena didn't notice his little actions at all, and started imitating his tone of voice on her own:
"Justice is just like the peace and prosperity of your Lieyang Kingdom."
"I was only five years old then, he wouldn't lie to a child, would he?"
"Uh~"
Angel Yan was speechless. She knew that Li Yao had studied at Lieyang for a period of time.
I never imagined there would be such an interesting story.
The angel was chasing after them, his shoulders shaking from trying so hard to suppress his laughter.
Angel Yan was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled: "In some ways, our values are indeed similar."
"You should have said that earlier." Lena rolled her eyes.
This sunlight is indeed still a little girl.
Angel Yan realized this, and so she said politely:
"In that case, Your Majesty the Lord of the Blazing Sun, please inform us of your decision."
Hearing this address made Lena feel much better.
She said solemnly, "Before I came, Blue Star and the Super God Academy had a meeting. They reached a consensus: to reject the angel's protection."
Angel Yan nodded slightly: "Okay, we understand."
She was not surprised by the result.
The Sun and the Super God Academy have been planning this for so long, they certainly won't let the angels interfere easily.
The Blue Star side doesn't understand angels, nor have they witnessed the cruelty of interstellar war. In addition, with the Super Soldier Corps now in existence, their refusal is to be expected.
As an observer, she had a clear understanding of the situation; it was just a matter of following the proper procedures.
"However, if demons get involved, we angels will intervene forcefully. Please convey this to them," Angel Yan reminded them.
"Okay, I will." Lena readily agreed.
She never cared whether the angels interfered or not.
As for demons? She didn't take them seriously at all.
Do those down-on-their-luck folks dare to mess with her?
"Thanks." Angel Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
Lena quickly called out to her, "Wait!"
Angel Yan turned around, looking puzzled. "Hmm? Is there something else?"
Lena changed her expression and said with a grin, "Now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about personal matters."
Angel Yan immediately became interested. She sat back down and said, "Oh? I'm all ears."
Angel Chase also curiously pricked up his ears.
Only Li Yao immediately sensed something was wrong; this idiot was going to trick him!
Sure enough, Lena's eyes darted around, and she said to Angel Yan, "I want to poach someone from you!"
"Who?"
"That guy."
Lena pointed her finger directly at Li Yao.
Angel Yan was stunned for a moment, rubbed her forehead, and was both amused and exasperated.
Are they trying to poach people from Angels? And are they targeting Li Yao?
What is this little girl up to?
She asked curiously, "Why?"
Lena crossed her arms and said matter-of-factly, "He said it himself!"
"They said he had no standing among the angels and was suffering terribly! Now it seems that's really true."
As she spoke, she began to paint a rosy picture for Li Yao:
"Old Li, since you're just a nobody among the angels anyway, you might as well follow this goddess."
"Once I'm officially appointed, you'll be a loyal subject who helped me rise to power."
"Then I'll grant you a position second only to the emperor!"
"How is it?"
"Cough cough cough—"
Li Yao choked on his own saliva.
So you know you don't have real power, huh?
Just as he was about to speak, a virtual screen suddenly appeared in the center of the conference table, showing footage of their previous transaction with Thornton.
"In Mello, you're practically invisible. Everyone can boss you around, everyone thinks you're a child, and nothing you do is taken seriously..."
Upon seeing this, Li Yao's face instantly darkened.
This idiot! He actually recorded it!
After slowly watching the video, Angel Yan turned to Li Yao and gave him a dangerous smile:
"So our little genius was having such a miserable time in Tiancheng?"
Li Yao quickly said, "Sister Yan, let me explain..."
"Explain what?"
Angel Chase peeked over from the side, shook her head, and said, "I never expected that our sincerity would be rewarded with this result."
Then, feigning deep sorrow, she said, "Sigh, it's so disheartening, there's no love left."
Li Yao: "..."
He truly never imagined that he, who spent his days hunting geese, would one day be the one being pecked by them.
All he wanted to do now was throw Lena back to the Sun Star.
