Chapter 1635 - 1636: Something’s Off
Mogana looked around at the streets thrown into chaos because of her, feeling no discomfort. Instead, she smiled at every man watching her. Chaos was about to erupt on the street. Ye Lingyun quickly pulled Mogana away from the wrong place.
Just as Ye Lingyun pulled Mogana aside, he heard a contemptuous chuckle behind him. "I didn’t expect all the beauties to like such a young man. Impossible. I will continue to use this knife. Wait, beauties. You are mine."
Ye Lingyun turned around, seeing a person winking at him like an awl, knowing the awl might pierce through his robust body, he had no choice but to endure and leave.
When there was no one around, Ye Lingyun finally released Mogana’s hand and looked at her as she secretly smiled in front of him. Ye Lingyun angrily said, "Don’t you know there’ll be a crowd around us like beasts?"
"No, I just hear them all praising me. What a wonderful sound. I want them to possess eternity!" Mogana said drunkenly.
"Enough, enough. Didn’t you say you wanted to shop? What’s your plan now?" Despite being annoyed at Moganna’s ability to cause disturbances, Ye Lingyun couldn’t resist losing his temper looking at the beautiful and charming Moganna.
"Alright, I can do it. Don’t be angry, brother. Sister doesn’t like angry brothers!" Mogana dropped a few strands of hair, covering half her face. Though it remained eye-catching, it added some shadows, reducing visible attention problems.
"Alright, don’t cause such mess again in the future. I also want a break. Recently, I’ve been either fighting or running back and forth. Though I’m okay.
"What are you doing?" Mogana hurriedly wrapped her clothes, kicking Ye Lingyun whose eyes had already sunk into her chest.
"I just heard your voice, it felt strange!" Ye Lingyun said innocently as he flew back outside.
"Go ahead, you’re concerned for me, so I don’t mind you sneak peeking at sister. Here I have nothing, but I endowed her with some powers." Mogana finished speaking, looking at a masseuse serving her.
"Don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing. It’s just that her strength seemed a bit small, so I helped her transform. It’s a splendid thing during these times!"
Mogana looked again at Ye Lingyun who still distrusted her and explained once more.
Ye Lingyun glanced at Mogana, seeing nothing different here. He looked twice at the masseuse but found no other reaction, so he also believed Mogana’s words.
Because Ye Lingyun’s earlier flight attracted much attention. The massage couldn’t continue here. Ye Lingyun had no choice but to quickly pull Mogana out of the shop.
"My Empress sister, what do you want to do?" Ye Lingyun spoke to Mogana once they were alone.
"This will be my future Queen’s home. I won’t tell you for now what to do, but know I won’t oppose your little girlfriend’s interests."
"I hope you speak and do. Alright, it’s not too early now. Let’s return to camp." Ye Lingyun turned and started walking toward the camp.
"Little brother, what’s behind you?" Mogana watched Ye Lingyun’s back, pinching her chin in thought.
It was already night when Ye Lingyun returned to camp. He could quickly fly back to camp but chose to walk slowly.
The campfire in the barracks was lit, shining the brightest color, while stars in the sky illuminated. Under the immense impact of human civilization, city prosperity became a thing of the past. The most noticeable figures on the streets were squads. Power plants ceased operation, leaving the city utterly lifeless at night. Stars previously unseen now started to appear before people, yet they lacked energy to gaze at the night sky. The gray soil below became the most common color.
Ye Lingyun looked at the old warriors beside him. Their uniforms were stained with blood and ashes of comrades, with faces full of disguise marks. As ordinary soldiers, they always seemed small in the face of extraterrestrial attacks, but none backed down. As Chinese soldiers, they would guard this land for one more day.
Ye Lingyun pondered a great deal. He had initially been a failure with nothing. Had he been living in this era, he’d be living amidst chaos tomorrow. Like many refugees, he perished amidst riot and war. After Old Wan’s transformation, he became capable of destroying planets. Looking at his own fists, Ye Lingyun couldn’t help but feel emotional.
"When did you return?" Rose, already awake, supported herself on the wall and watched Ye Lingyun.
"Sister Rose, I just got back. Are you alright?" Ye Lingyun hurried forward to assist Rose.
"No trouble. I’m a warrior too, not so delicate. As for you, it seems like you’ve been pondering things. What’s wrong?" Rose gazed at the young man, brows furrowed, and felt something different.
"All good. Earlier this afternoon I went out with Bingliang." Ye Lingyun quickly explained, not wanting Rose to worry about him.
"Bingliang? Come on, you understand it. Alright, I’m heading back. No need to help me!" Rose stubbornly let go of Ye Lingyun’s hand and hopped back into her room.
Watching Rose’s distant back, exceptionally charming even at night, Ye Lingyun suddenly had a bold thought. Is Rose jealous?
He believed Mogana’s current role was as the flower of communication. Such occupations inspired more thoughts. More importantly, Ye Lingyun’s youth perhaps couldn’t withstand Moganna’s enchanting allure of Rose.
With this realization, Ye Lingyun wanted to dash over and hold Rose’s hand, tell her it wasn’t like that, but feared it would backfire, so he let Rose slowly walk away.
"Sell my love, ah, ah, you owe a debt of conscience..." Ye Lingyun’s melancholy thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a brainwashing music.
Ye Lingyun followed the singing. It turned out a civilian led a group of aunts performing square dance around the bonfire.
Square dance must be said to be a magical activity. Whenever and wherever, given space and a loudspeaker, these aunts could dance. Ye Lingyun watched these women, placing his hands on his head, slowly walking past them. He had already understood the meaning of his arrival on Earth.
Since he possessed ability to rival with God, he must use it to protect this beautiful planet. He needed to safeguard Su Xiaoli, Rose, and many others he wished to love.
At this moment, the Eastern Hemisphere of Earth was shrouded in darkness, as was Carl.
"Oh God, Carl, do you really plan to assist that pretentious Hua Ye?" After handling the squad, the Taoyuan Guards came to ask Carl.
"You’ve been fighting wars for thousands of years, what’s your take on our meaning?" Carl remained lazily lying on the soft sofa.
"Answering my God, we fight for ultimate fear." Tao Yao clenched her fists to her chest.
"By the way, you must understand that angels are the highest civilization in the universe. If angels are all enveloped by our supreme fear, you’ll say how interesting this is? Oh, what a pleasant thing it would be to die!"
Carl’s eyes at this time also gleamed like two bright lights.
"My God, Carl, I understand your meaning here. Let my God, Carl, come to Angel City." The lofty Gourmet guard shouted.
"Come on, let’s say something in passing. What about the site he’s in charge of?"
"I understand!" The Gourmet guard slowly withdrew then turned to leave.
"I haven’t felt scared for a long time! I hope you can satisfy me
The last candle in the hall was already extinguished, yet Carl remained holding that book, facing the door.
