Late at night,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao slept in their respective tents, while Ling Xi and Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying had no sleep.
"Sister Leng, Ling Xi, do I really have to stay?"
Qiao Ying looked at the tents in the distance, her expression a little conflicted.
"Qiao Ying, after the battle at Base Brad, your mental power and blood have been severely damaged and need good recuperation!"
"And..."
At this point, Leng Yue paused, "And there is a very important reason for you to stay... that is to guard well... the other King of the Angels..."
As she spoke, Leng Yue's Angel Blade instantly appeared in her hand, and a large amount of angel power surged towards Qiao Ying.
"This... this is complete angel power... No, Sister Leng... If this is the case, you won't be able to face enemies like the Blood Ancestor or those who master the formations of the Sin Domain..."
Feeling the familiar yet somewhat strange angel power within her, Qiao Ying's expression changed, and she hastily explained. However, she saw Leng Yue shake her head solemnly at her.
Seeing this, Qiao Ying couldn't help but fall silent, silently accepting Leng Yue's angel power.
"Sister Leng, Ling Xi, don't worry, even if I have to give my life, I will protect the other King!"
After absorbing all the angelic power within her, Qiao Ying looked at Leng Yue and Ling Xi with a serious expression.
"Qiao Ying, although I don't want to discourage you... but... it won't be long before it's the little guy... who will protect you!"
Ling Xi glanced at the tent where Ye Feng was, her expression filled with emotion.
"Huh? The little guy?"
Qiao Ying followed Ling Xi's gaze and immediately reacted, "Ling Xi, you think the other King of Angels is Ye Feng? But there has never been a male king in the history of our angel race!"
"And... and back then, the Angel City suffered heavy casualties... Her Majesty the Queen was critically injured... the entire angel race almost wiped out... a large part of it was because of that insidious and cunning man..."
By the end, Qiao Ying's face showed obvious anger.
Then, Qiao Ying looked at Leng Yue with a questioning gaze.
"Although it's a bit unbelievable... but according to our observations... Ye Feng is probably the King that Her Majesty the Queen mentioned!"
Leng Yue let out a soft sigh and said slowly.
"This..."
Qiao Ying fell silent.
"Qiao Ying, the power I just gave you is not for you to fight, but for you to take Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao away to... 'that place' when all else fails!"
After a pause, Leng Yue spoke again.
"That... that place?"
Qiao Ying was slightly stunned and reacted, her face filled with shock, "Sister Leng, you mean... that... 'that place'... that is our last..."
"Hoo~"
"The decision is yours. If you don't think Ye Feng is that person, you don't have to take him!"
Leng Yue let out a soft sigh and looked at the nervous Qiao Ying with a relaxed expression.
"The decision?"
"This... Wait... In that complete angel power just now, there was... the power of Her Majesty the Queen..."
Qiao Ying suddenly noticed a very special fluctuation of angel power within her, and her eyes widened.
"Qiao Ying, no need to be so startled. You are on the same level as us, so it's normal to entrust it to you!"
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said.
"I... I..."
"But I... I have the least combat experience... and my outdoor experience is not rich. I... I can't bear such a heavy responsibility..."
Qiao Ying was very flustered.
Because she didn't expect that Leng Yue had not only given her complete angel power just now... but Leng Yue's actions made her have a very bad premonition...
"Qiao Ying, relax and believe in yourself!"
Leng Yue stepped forward two steps, extended her hands, gently held Qiao Ying's shoulders, and gave her a comforting look.
After a while, Qiao Ying gradually calmed down.
"It's getting late, everyone should rest!"
Seeing this, Ling Xi yawned and said.
"Then... that... I suddenly remembered something!"
Ling Xi was about to turn away when Qiao Ying suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
Ling Xi looked at Qiao Ying with some confusion.
"I... I suddenly remembered something... I thought it was my illusion at the time!"
"When Ye Feng helped me remove the blood curse from my body... I... I seemed to sense the power of Her Majesty the Queen..."
Speaking of this, Qiao Ying couldn't help but recall the scene when Ye Feng helped her remove the blood curse. Her face turned very red. "I... I thought I misperceived it at the time, but just now, Sister Leng, the power of the King in the angel power you gave me was very clear..."
"This..."
Ling Xi frowned slightly, her expression filled with surprise and confusion.
"It's very late, don't dwell on it so much, go to sleep!"
Leng Yue clearly had no intention of discussing this topic. She smiled slightly at Qiao Ying and changed the subject.
"Oh, alright~"
Qiao Ying glanced at Ling Xi and realized that Leng Yue might want to speak to Ling Xi alone, so she nodded to both of them and turned to walk towards her tent.
"Ling Xi, you are truly willing to let that little guy go..."
After Qiao Ying returned to her tent, Leng Yue looked in Ye Feng's direction. "If we go on this trip, we might never come back..."
"I believe him!"
Ling Xi replied briefly and also walked towards the tent.
...
The next day,
At noon,
The heavy clouds made the sky look gray, as if symbolizing the mood of the few people about to part.
By a crossroad,
A dilapidated pavilion, whose appearance was barely recognizable,
"This is about as far as we go!"
Leng Yue stopped and said to Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying.
"Sister Ling Xi, Sister Leng Yue, we will meet again, right?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes were a little red, and she looked at Ling Xi with reluctance.
"Yes!"
Ling Xi nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Feng with a serious expression, "Little guy, although Jade Dew is a divine medicine for healing, it's best not to develop a dependence on it, nor should you think of improving your strength by taking Jade Dew, otherwise, your path of cultivation may become narrow because of it!"
"Huh? You know Jade Dew?"
Ye Feng was very surprised.
Because he had never mentioned this name to Ling Xi, and the two small bottles of Jade Dew he gave her and Leng Yue that morning were just described as treasures for healing and recovery.
"Angel City also had this thing before!"
Ling Xi smiled slightly, without elaborating.
"Then, little guy, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, goodbye!"
Ling Xi waved at the three of them, then spread her white wings and slowly flew towards the sky.
Leng Yue nodded at the three of them and followed Qiao Ying.
"Goodbye, Sister Ling Xi!"
"Goodbye, Sister Leng Yue!"
Under the gaze of Xiao Xiao, Ye Feng, and Qiao Ying, Ling Xi and Leng Yue's figures slowly disappeared into the horizon.
