"It's all done."
Li Yao didn't say much; for the time being, only he himself knew about the Black Wind incident.
Angel Leng didn't ask any more questions. She simply put away her sword, stood up, and stretched her stiff shoulders. "I'll go check on Zhixin."
Li Yao nodded and leaned against the headboard, watching her leave.
Only after the door closed did he turn his gaze away and begin to ponder his own affairs.
He found that his quantum engine was becoming increasingly outrageous.
It used to be just a somewhat unreliable cheat, but now it's almost become the kind of cheat that I can make work if I think it's possible.
Take that incident just now, for example.
That old bastard Black Wind is an expert in mental matters. Normally, to secretly plant a mental imprint on someone, one would have to use methods at the Void level.
As it turned out, once the quantum engine started running, the matter was resolved in a rather muddled way. Although the cost was that he was a little listless now, it wasn't a big deal, and he would be fine after a rest.
Thinking of this, he stroked his chin.
Could it be that my quantum engine has some connection to the void?
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then stopped worrying about it; as long as he had the cheat code, that was enough.
He stood up, stretched, walked out of the room, and went to the laboratory on the second floor.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Zhixin standing in front of the control panel, her finger hovering above the screen, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.
Beside him, Angel Leng leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, also watching him.
Li Yao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
When Li Yao reached her, Zhi Xin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Junior Brother, are you worried that we will be defeated?"
She pointed to the instruments around her and continued, "You've practically turned this floating island into a miniature Skyblade warship. And that set of instruments, it seems to be..."
"Senior sister."
Li Yao quickly interrupted, clearing his throat, and said, "This is just in case, as a backup plan. The Queen and the teacher both know about this."
Zhi Xin blinked and asked again, "Then why do we have to be so secretive? Can't we just release the floating islands directly from the base?"
Before Li Yao could answer, Angel Leng strolled over from the wall and said casually, "Is there even a need to ask? Since it's a backup plan, it has to be kept secret. What if too many people find out and the demon discovers it?"
She paused, glancing at Li Yao: "Li Yao called the two of us over, which means we are the people he trusts most. Oh, and Yan too, but Yan was called away by the Queen."
When Zhixin heard the words "most trusted," a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
The doubt on her face was instantly replaced by a smile, and she nodded vigorously: "I understand, I'll keep it a secret."
Li Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected Leng Jie to win him over so quickly, which saved him the trouble of finding an excuse.
He smiled slightly and waved to the two of them, "Alright, everything's taken care of, let's go back."
Both Angel Leng and Zhi Xin nodded.
The three then arrived above the floating island.
"Senior sister, please accept this and also put away the floating island."
Li Yao directly transferred the core control of the floating island to Zhi Xin.
Zhi Xin was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "Leave it to me?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that if we encounter any unexpected situations later, we won't have time to retrieve the floating island," Li Yao nodded gently and explained.
Zhi Xin opened her mouth, intending to ask something, but in the end she said nothing. She pursed her lips, carefully accepted the authority, and raised her hand to put the entire floating island into the dark dimension.
Seeing this, the angel Leng immediately waved her hand and spoke words of comfort.
"Don't be too tense. Although you are still new recruits and have not experienced the war between the Heavenly Demons, with Queen Keisha in charge, Morgana can't cause much trouble at all."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, raised her hand, and patted Li Yao's shoulder, her eyes and brows smiling.
"Besides, I'm here with your sister Leng. I'll definitely protect you. If any demon dares to lay a finger on you, he'll have to step over my dead body first."
Although she said it casually and easily, Li Yao knew in his heart that it was a promise she made from the bottom of her heart.
Li Yao felt a warmth in his heart. Overwhelmed with emotion, he reached out and pulled Angel Leng into his arms, then lowered his head and gently kissed her.
Angel's cheeks flushed instantly, and she became extremely shy.
Li Yao released her, his tone gentle: "Sister Leng, thank you."
The angel turned her face away in embarrassment, giving a stubborn snort.
"Tch, stop talking nonsense. Let's go back."
The three spread their wings and flew back to the angels' abode.
As soon as Li Yao passed through the clouds and landed on an inverted peak, he saw Angel Yan greet him with a smile: "Li Yao, the Queen wants to see you."
Li Yao nodded, winked at Zhi Xin and Angel Leng, and then turned and flew towards the floating island where Keisha was.
The floating island was quiet at the moment; there were no other angels, only Keisha.
She stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps, Keisha turned around and waved to Li Yao.
"Your Majesty." Li Yao walked up to her and stood properly.
Keisha nodded slightly, but her gaze did not fall on his face. Instead, she reached out and compared their heights.
She was about 1.8 meters tall, but even though she was wearing high-heeled boots, Li Yao was still a head taller than her.
After the competition, a faint smile appeared on Keisha's lips, and she said softly, "Unbeknownst to me, Yao'er, you've grown so tall now."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao was completely stunned.
Yao'er.
This name was like a crowbar, prying open a long-sealed box deep in his memory.
Keisha had always called him that until he was twelve years old.
At that time, he was still living in the palace. Keisha would personally check on his studies every day, tell him bedtime stories, and listen to Li Yao share his wild and imaginative ideas.
At the same time, she would scold him with a stern face after he caused trouble, and even occasionally pull out the Angel brand Seven Wolves to educate him.
After educating him, they would tacitly allow He Xi and the little angels to secretly bring him delicious food and comfort him.
He had seen Keisha's stern side as well as her loving side; in short, his childhood was happy and fulfilling.
Later, he entered the recruit camp and moved out of the palace, and the two gradually drifted apart.
Keisha no longer called him Yao'er, but called him Li Yao, just like she would any other angel.
He hadn't heard that title for many years.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Li Yao opened his mouth, but his throat tightened inexplicably. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and just stared blankly at Keisha.
At this moment, the moonlight shone on Keisha's hair, softening her imposing presence and adding an indescribable gentleness.
Keisha didn't respond or offer any further explanation; she simply extended a hand towards him slowly.
That hand was fair and slender, usually wielding supreme power, but now it seemed exceptionally gentle, without the slightest sense of oppression.
Without thinking much, Li Yao instinctively reached out and grasped it.
Keisha's hands are very soft and warm.
It was exactly the same as he remembered from his childhood.
