"Do you know each other?"
As Chengxin 1007's words fell, coupled with the appearance of the woman before him, Chu Tian already knew their relationship was not ordinary.
"Uh... that..."
Upon hearing Chu Tian's question, Chengxin 1007 hesitated.
"I am Brother Seven's woman!" the woman at Chu Tian's feet quickly said.
"Really?"
Chu Tian directed this question to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Mm... yes!"
The voice on the other end gave Chu Tian a reply.
"So... ah! Do you know her?"
Hearing the reply, Chu Tian was troubled.
Although he knew this woman was not with those birdmen, he was still very curious about her identity.
Because, in his eyes, this woman was definitely not human.
Her life fluctuations did not belong to a human.
Another point was that this woman was skilled in the art of charm. Had Zero Zero Seven been mesmerized by her?
Hence the final question.
"I know her, sort of. She... is not human!"
Zero Zero Seven hesitated for a moment and then said this faintly.
Chu Tian's eyes flashed. The woman sat up straighter.
"Brother Seven, how did you know?"
Clearly, she thought she hadn't been exposed to Zero Zero Seven.
She couldn't imagine that this man, who was so obedient to her, actually knew she wasn't human.
Then he...
The angel of Buo Yu looked in disbelief.
"Hey, Great God, let's have a video call. I have something to say to her."
Zero Zero Seven said to Chu Tian from the other end.
Chu Tian remained silent and nodded.
He switched the call to video.
And directly activated the holographic projection.
The figure of the fair, chubby man appeared. He looked at the angel of Buo Yu, who was sitting on the ground with blood all over her mouth, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.
"Xiao Yu, listen to me. Answer whatever he asks, do whatever he tells you to do, and don't resist at all. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? Is his identity very noble? Why should I do whatever he says? If he asks me to go to bed, should I still listen to him? Tian Qi, you're not a man!"
Before Chengxin 1007 could finish speaking, the woman erupted in fury.
"He doesn't..."
Chengxin 1007 hurriedly tried to explain.
However, Chu Tian spoke at this moment.
"You don't need to use this kind of provocation. If you want to know my identity, just ask. Why play pretend?"
After saying this, he looked at Chengxin 1007, who was Tian Qi. Chu Tian found his name truly peculiar, having only just learned it.
"Tian Qi... Heh, I highly suspect you've been led by the nose by this woman all along!"
Chu Tian said meaningfully.
"Uh, Great God, please don't mock me. Xiao Yu has never used her abilities on me. I'm very clear about this. I... I... truly like her."
As Tian Qi said this, his eyes were filled with doting affection.
"Oh?"
Chu Tian appraised Tian Qi with interest. Although it was a projection from a mobile phone, Chu Tian could not feel his soul fluctuations.
However, his eyes did not seem faked.
"Ugh... Alright, for your sake, I can spare her life. However, I am very curious about her identity."
As Chu Tian spoke, everyone fell into silence.
Tian Qi looked at Xiao Yu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
The latter also looked at him, then got up from the ground and sat on the sofa, saying faintly.
"Judging by your expression, you seem to know quite a bit about me. Tell me, let's see how much you know about me!"
With her permission, Tian Qi looked at Chu Tian and scratched his head.
He slowly began to speak.
"Great God..."
"My name is Chu Tian!" As soon as he started, Chu Tian interrupted him.
"Oh... Brother Tian! Do you believe there are angels in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's brow furrowed.
He cast his gaze towards Xiao Yu.
"Don't look at me. I'm not one of those silly white moths!"
Xiao Yu quickly spoke, fearing that Chu Tian would mistake her for one of those silly white moths and kill her on the spot.
After speaking, she turned to look at Tian Qi.
"I didn't expect you to actually know some things about me! Since you know my identity, it's no longer a secret.
Let me tell you myself, lest you say the wrong thing and get slapped to death by this Brother Tian here!"
Xiao Yu rolled her eyes.
Then, she quickly continued.
"It's true that I am an angel, but..."
As she spoke, a strange aura surged from her.
*Tear...*
The back of her silk nightgown was directly torn open.
Two wings extended outwards.
Upon seeing this, Chu Tian's eyes widened.
"Black? What the hell... you're not going to tell me you're a fallen angel, are you?"
The pair of wings that extended from the woman's back were actually black.
Combined with her long, black hair, which floated slowly, she exuded a mysterious charm.
Tian Qi naturally saw this too, his eyes filled with adoration.
However, no one paid attention to him.
"That's right, I am a fallen angel!" Xiao Yu directly admitted her identity.
"So you have a grudge against those silly white geese, and we have a common enemy!"
Xiao Yu continued.
Chu Tian stared at her without speaking.
This fallen angel, Xiao Yu, was where Chu Tian finally found a difference in her soul compared to the white angels he had encountered before.
That is, her soul fluctuations were more active than those of the angels he had met previously.
If one were to use a metaphor.
The angels he had met before were like inanimate objects infused with souls, as if they had no thoughts of their own.
But this fallen angel before him, her soul fluctuations, although somewhat similar to those of the angels he had met before, seemed to possess her own thoughts and wisdom.
What was the reason for this?
As Chu Tian thought of this, he directly asked the question.
Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, Xiao Yu found his gaze rather peculiar.
But then she smiled, descended from the air, retracted her wings, and returned to the sofa.
She casually draped the blanket on the sofa over herself.
"It seems you've already discovered the difference between us and them!
Have you ever heard of marionettes? Those silly white geese... are such things, and we... once were too!
However, we developed our own intelligence, and therefore...
Xiao Yu recounted their origins.
Chu Tian was greatly astonished after listening.
He had never expected... those angels to truly be creatures without intelligence.
And the fallen angels Xiao Yu spoke of had their physical colors change because they had developed intelligence.
This was a so-called curse.
It was meant to distinguish between those angels who had developed self-awareness!
Once an angel's wings turned black, it proved they had their own intelligence.
They would be attacked and killed by the collective.
This was the origin of fallen angels.
"So, you birdmen... are you not just tools created by others?"
Chu Tian was dumbfounded by this realization.
Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Chu Tian's repeated use of "birdmen," but dared not speak.
This man before her was too terrifying. She was a two-winged angel, the lowest rank, yet she knew how powerful an angel's body was.
Coupled with her own intelligence and her cultivation of charm, primarily because this technique could strengthen her soul,
It made her much stronger than ordinary two-winged angels.
But facing this man, she had no ability to resist.
"You could say that. The so-called two-winged angels are indeed just combat machines, but there are also those with intelligence!"
"Oh?" Chu Tian asked, perplexed.
"Our transformation into fallen angels isn't entirely due to developing sentience, but rather because we developed the thought of self-doubt... Well, almost all angels who develop sentience experience this thought.
As for those angels who don't have this thought, their colors won't change, and they will be granted higher abilities...
That is promotion..."
As Xiao Yu spoke, Chu Tian's brow relaxed.
"Four-winged birdmen?"
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Yes!"
With that said, Chu Tian had no further questions.
He sat on his chair, lost in thought.
Tian Qi exchanged knowing glances with Xiao Yu, who shot him a stern look.
He, on the other hand, was grinning happily, gestured to her, and then hung up the communication.
After a moment, Chu Tian looked up at Xiao Yu again and asked.
"In that case, you are also from the Vatican. You should know something about it, right?"
Having learned her identity, Chu Tian reiterated the information he wanted to know.
"I... I left there too many years ago!" Xiao Yu hesitated.
"Too many years... how many?"
"Um... I'm over eight hundred years older than Tian Qi... And that's just the time since I gained my memories. As for how long I lived before that... I don't remember at all!"
"Holy cow, you're an old cow eating young grass!" Chu Tian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You..." Xiao Yu's eyes widened, but it was only a fleeting glance. She took a deep breath, then looked at Chu Tian.
"You've asked me so many questions, let me ask you one too!"
"Go ahead." Chu Tian leaned back and crossed his legs.
"How did you know my address? What's your name in the game, and what exactly is your identity?"
"That doesn't seem like one question, does it?" Chu Tian quipped.
However, Xiao Yu continued to stare intently at him.
Chu Tian helplessly shrugged.
"Alright, I'll satisfy your curiosity. Because the place next to me is apparently mine, I can see the employee information.
As for my game name... I'm not the Druid!"
Chu Tian stopped speaking at this point.
"I'm not the Divine Archer either... Huh? You are... you are... the Druid God?"
Xiao Yu leaped up from the sofa.
Chu Tian merely smiled faintly, recalling the past.
"That's great, that's great... it's like a pie falling from the sky, haha..."
However, Xiao Yu then went on like a madwoman.
Muttering nonsensically about who knows what,
She left Chu Tian bewildered, thinking the woman had gone mad.
The next moment, this woman suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Chu Tian's arm, and pressed it against her chest.
"Let's go, I need to take you somewhere!"
This startled Chu Tian even more.
He looked at her with strange eyes.
"Uh... my teeth aren't good!"
