Lin Ci said in a deep voice.
"You protect them."
“There might be some fools who could harm them.”
A hint of violent killing intent flashed in the Holy Lord's scarlet dragon eyes.
"Don't worry, boss."
“With me here, no one can harm them in the slightest unless they step over my dead body.”
Lin Ci chatted with the Holy Lord for a few more minutes, and only after confirming that everything was normal on the other end did he hang up.
He opened his eyes, and his worries lessened slightly.
With the Holy Lord around, Keisha and Liang Bing's safety shouldn't be a problem.
Lin Ci suddenly remembered something.
As Angel Yan previously stated, He Xi did not accompany the army on the expedition in order to remain in charge of the Heavenly Court of Merlo.
That is to say...
Currently, the Heavenly Court of Merlo has no powerful subordinates who can protect her.
Lin Ci's pupils suddenly contracted.
......
Angel Nebula, Mero.
A faint, delicate fragrance permeated He Xi's bedroom.
She lay on her side on the large, soft cloud bed.
She was wearing only an ice-blue silk nightgown, the smooth fabric clinging to her flawless curves.
Her long, slender, snow-white legs were casually crossed, her ankles were delicate, and her ten toes were round and smooth like jade.
Since Keisha and Liang Bing went to war, all the affairs of the entire Merlo Heavenly Court have fallen on her shoulders.
But for He Xi, who possesses the brain of the Heavenly King, dealing with these matters is a piece of cake.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of boredom.
She stretched out her slender hand and gently swept it through the air, and a virtual screen appeared.
On the screen is a shared message sent back by Keisha.
It records the scene of the man named Holy Lord catching Keisha's full-force attack with two fingers.
There wasn't much surprise in He Xi's beautiful, azure eyes.
Because she had seen even more outrageous things.
She had seen that man, the god she longed for, who had transformed into a golden giant that spanned the universe.
That kind of power is truly incomprehensible and unfathomable.
"Lin Ci..."
He Xi parted her red lips slightly and unconsciously uttered the name.
"really miss you."
I really want to see you right now.
She knew that Lin Ci had returned to this time and space, right here on Earth.
But the Heavenly Court of Merlo needs her to guard it, and she cannot leave without permission.
This longing, like fine aged wine, becomes more fragrant and intoxicating with each passing year of waiting.
He Xi suddenly sensed something was amiss.
She slowly sat up, her silk pajamas slipping down her shoulders to reveal a large expanse of her fair skin.
She got off the bed barefoot, her smooth, jade-like feet making no sound as they touched the cold floor.
She opened the door to the bedroom.
Outside the door, the once star-studded sky had somehow turned into a deep, dark expanse.
In that extreme darkness, countless stars were moving in an eerie yet magnificent trajectory.
They converge into a grand star map that cannot be described in words.
Beautiful, yet unsettling.
He Xi narrowed her beautiful, azure eyes slightly.
"Space Principal?"
A cold, emotionless mechanical voice.
It seemed to resonate simultaneously from every corner of the universe, echoing in her mind.
He Xi crossed her arms over her chest, a posture that made her already stunning curves even more breathtaking.
"What brings you here?"
"Why aren't you doing research at your Super God Academy? What are you doing here at my Merlo Heavenly Court?"
The mechanical voice sounded again.
He Xi's lips curled into a faint smile as she casually waved her hand.
A magnificent silver chair appeared out of thin air behind her.
She sat down gracefully and gently crossed her legs.
What are you going to discuss with me?
"I don't like the theories of your Super God Academy. You should go find Liang Bing. Hasn't she always been the most outstanding scholar in your Super God Academy?"
"Beside Liang Bing, there is strength and fear."
He Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is the Space Principal afraid of the powerful figure beside Liang Bing?
The three queens were roughly equal in strength.
Even if Keisha wields the Silver Wings, it wouldn't be enough to frighten the mysterious and unpredictable Principal of Space.
A name flashed through He Xi's mind in an instant.
It was the man in Keisha's shared information who claimed to be Lin Ci's subordinate.
That terrifying entity that wiped an entire spacefaring civilization out of the universe in just three minutes.
A soft laugh escaped He Xi's lips.
"Are you scared too?"
Chapter 156 I’m late
"I thought you were omniscient and omnipotent. You must be... a consciousness now?"
"Is it an existence even more advanced than Karl's illusion?"
"If you don't show yourself, no one in this universe can find your trace."
"Even if you take the initiative to communicate with me now, I will not be able to detect the existence of your consciousness."
"What are you afraid of?"
The star chart shifted and then fell into a brief silence.
"Incomprehensible, existent, abnormal."
Is it an existence that even the principal of the Space Academy cannot comprehend?
"Even you are afraid. I thought your knowledge was the truth of the universe."
He Xi tucked a strand of silver hair that had fallen beside her ear, her movements languid, but her eyes held a hint of inquiry.
"Then what do you want to discuss with me?"
What is there for you and me to talk about?
The cold, mechanical voice came again.
This time, he only uttered two words.
He Xi's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
He wanted to know about Lin Ci.
"What do you want to know?"
The mechanical voice of the Space Principal was completely devoid of emotion.
"You and he are united and have a close relationship."
"I want to know, what is knowledge, what is power, and what is its source?"
The lazy smile on He Xi's face vanished without a trace in an instant.
Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold.
"You spy on me?"
He Xi was thoroughly enraged by his self-righteous attitude.
She suddenly stood up, her powerful queenly aura erupting instantly, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.
"What do you mean by 'irrelevant'?!"
"Do you really think you represent the highest god in this universe? That you can pry into other people's privacy at will?"
The cold star map continued to turn, and the mechanical voice was eerily calm.
He Xi let out a cold laugh.
"Since that's your attitude, then we have nothing more to talk about."
