"Kid, let me introduce you. These are the angels sent by Queen Keisha to support us, my comrades in arms..."
"Hmph, Angel Leng!"
"Hello, I am Angel Zhui!"
As Angel Yan was about to introduce Ethan to Angel Leng and Angel Zhui, Angel Leng interrupted. Angel Zhui, seeing this, reluctantly followed suit, glancing helplessly at Angel Leng but said nothing.
"So, you're the one who has been turning Yan's world upside down these days, Ethan. You don't look that impressive to me. How about we spar?"
Ethan was puzzled. What did she mean by him turning Yan's world upside down? It was Yan who approached him first. He kept his thoughts to himself, looking at Angel Leng's eager expression, then turned to Angel Yan.
"Is she always like this? I don't think I offended her. Why is she so annoying?"
Initially, Angel Yan felt a moment of despair when Angel Leng mentioned she was infatuated with Ethan. But hearing Ethan's words, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, you're right. She is annoying. Why don't you help me teach her a lesson?"
Yan instinctively threw Ethan a flirtatious glance, leaving him somewhat bewildered.
"Hah, kid, I think you're the one who needs a lesson. And Angel Yan, if you want him to get beaten up by me, just say so. I'm happy to oblige. What do you say, kid? Up for a spar?"
Angel Leng couldn't resist Yan's provocation. Hearing Ethan and Yan's conversation, she started warming up, clearly ready to fight.
"Um, no thanks. I'm just an ordinary person. I'd rather not get beaten up!"
Ethan shook his head immediately. Spar with Angel Leng? He knew he couldn't take her on.
"Hello, Zhui."
"Uh, hi."
Angel Zhui was puzzled by Ethan's familiarity, wondering why he was so friendly when they barely knew each other. But she kept her thoughts to herself.
"Yan, by the way, where's Mo Yi?"
After declining Angel Leng's challenge and greeting Angel Zhui, Ethan turned to ask Angel Yan about Mo Yi.
"Hmph, none of your business!"
Angel Yan snapped at Ethan. She had clearly heard his friendly greeting to Angel Zhui and was annoyed. Why was he so familiar and natural with her? Her irritation flared, and she snapped at Ethan when he asked about Mo Yi.
Mo Yi had been secretly recording Angel Yan's embarrassing moments, and after being caught, Yan had been teaching her a lesson. Mo Yi was still resting, unable to get out of bed.
"Alright then, you guys chat. I have other things to do, so I'll leave you to it."
Ethan sensed Angel Yan's sudden mood swing. For the sake of his safety, he decided to make a quick exit.
With those words, he left without waiting for their reactions.
"Look at that, Yan. You scared your little man away, haha..."
Angel Leng couldn't help but mock Yan, enjoying her rare moment of triumph.
"Hmph, let's go, Zhui!"
Seeing Ethan leave suddenly, Yan panicked a bit. But hearing Leng's taunt, she felt embarrassed and called out to Zhui, emphasizing her name.
Innocent Zhui felt a chill, shivering in the suddenly icy atmosphere...
Behind them, Angel Leng's laughter echoed as she reveled in finally getting the better of Yan.
Somewhere in the known universe, aboard the Demon One.
In her private chamber, the Demon Queen Morgana, also known as Liang Bing, was sound asleep, dressed in a black silk nightgown. Her figure, visible from the side, confirmed her reputation as the most alluring and wicked being in the known universe.
"Queen, we have a problem. Andrew has gone offline!"
Liang Bing, drowsy from being woken up by the loud shouting, was instantly furious.
"Damn it, don't you know your queen is having her beauty sleep? Who is it?"
Half-awake, Liang Bing couldn't make out who was calling.
"Queen, it's me, Atto."
"Damn it, Atto, do you have a death wish? Don't you know I'm having my beauty sleep? If you don't have a good reason, I'll make you mine for digging."
Atto felt wronged. If it wasn't important, he wouldn't have disturbed her.
"Queen, I wouldn't disturb you if it wasn't urgent."
"Fine, fine, cut the crap and tell me what's going on!"
"Yes, Queen. It's like this: Andrew hasn't reported back in days. I found it strange and contacted him, but the system shows he's offline."
"What? Damn it, he must have been discovered and killed by Keisha's lot."
Though Morgana jumped to conclusions, blaming the Holy Keisha, she was spot on this time.
"What do we do, Queen? If Keisha's people have taken him out, they must know about the planet. Should we still go? Won't we be too late?"
Despite his worries, Atto asked.
"We're going. Not only will we go, but we'll get there faster. If we get there before Keisha's lot, victory will be ours!"
"If we convert everyone on that planet to demons before Keisha arrives, this victory is ours."
"Atto, make sure we travel at maximum speed. We must get to Nova Star before Keisha!"
"Yes, Queen!"
Though still worried, Atto suppressed his concerns and didn't say more.
After Atto disconnected, Morgana pondered for a moment, then went to her wardrobe. She donned her purple leather outfit and mechanical wings, applied her trademark non-mainstream makeup, and contacted someone.
The call was answered almost immediately, and a surprised voice greeted her.
"Liang Bing, this is the first time in a thousand years you've contacted me. I'm delighted."
"Damn you, Karl. How many times do I have to tell you? Call me Queen Morgana!"
Karl, known as the Grim Reaper, ruled the Dead Song Academy in the Styx Galaxy.
"Okay, Liang Bing."
