Chapter 3: Angel Yan

"Warning! Warning! A massive amount of energy has just been detected crossing the atmosphere and is rapidly approaching your location. Please be advised!"

The warning from Zhizi. Gai left Ye Cang somewhat stunned.

Huh?

A meteorite is coming?

This was Ye Cang's first thought.

But the next second, Zhizi. Gai transmitted the photo it had just captured to Ye Cang.

In the photo, there was clearly a stunningly beautiful woman with snow-white wings, wearing silver armor and a miniskirt, with a frivolous smile on her face.

When Ye Cang saw this woman, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; it was Angel Yan.

As for why she came to find him, there was no need to even think about it; it was definitely because of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

His Controlled Nuclear Fusion had allowed Earth—no, it should be Huaxia—to enter the nuclear age!

It would be strange if she didn't come to find him.

And judging from this event, Ge Xiaolun and the others' Super Gene must have been activated, and Leina of Lieyang had also arrived.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang couldn't help but sigh.

That Leina...

Before Ye Cang could finish his thought, a woman's voice sounded from across from him.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have moments where you sigh. I had assumed that a genius like you, who led Earth into the nuclear age, wouldn't have time to sigh."

Hearing this voice, Ye Cang thought to himself that Angel Yan's speed was truly fast; Zhizi. Gai had just captured her, and yet she was already across from him.

It had been at most 2 minutes.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang said slowly, "Why wouldn't a genius have time to sigh?"

"Geniuses are also human; they have seven emotions and six desires, and they also get troubled by the trivialities of life."

"Furthermore, I don't consider myself a genius; I am just an ordinary person with a bit of good luck."

"Also, let me correct you: it is leading Huaxia, not Earth."

After speaking, Ye Cang looked up at the person across from him.

Sure enough, the one speaking was indeed Angel Yan.

At this moment, Angel Yan was sitting with her legs crossed, resting her chin on one hand, looking at him with great interest.

"Have you seen enough?" Ye Cang interrupted Angel Yan's observation of him.

Angel Yan, being interrupted, was taken aback, then the corners of her mouth lifted.

"Kid, you aren't surprised at all by my appearance." As she spoke, Angel Yan stood up and slowly walked in front of Ye Cang.

"Can I assume that you knew of my existence long ago?"

"That is why you aren't surprised."

The tone of Angel Yan's words was no different from before, but her gaze had already turned cold.

If there was any problem with Ye Cang's answer, she would strike without hesitation.

But Ye Cang seemed not to notice, picking up his phone and dialing a number on his own.

Watching Ye Cang make the call, Angel Yan said with a smile, "Only just realized you're afraid? Kid?"

"Isn't it a bit late to call for help now?"

After hearing this, Ye Cang simply made a shushing gesture toward Angel Yan, and then the call connected.

"One pearl milk tea, um, full... no, make it half sugar, needs to be hot, deliver it within 1 minute. I have a guest here, thank you."

After speaking, Ye Cang hung up the phone.

This situation left Angel Yan somewhat confused.

Eh?

Not calling for help?

Ordering a drink?

This, is this not quite right?

Just as Angel Yan was briefly stunned, the door to the conference room was knocked on.

Ye Cang walked over quickly, opened the door to receive the milk tea, and then handed the milk tea to Angel Yan.

"Huaxia etiquette: guests are to be welcomed. Also, no need to be curious about why I wasn't surprised by your appearance; that is because you have no malice."

"This is pearl milk tea, please enjoy."

Angel Yan took the milk tea and said with a smile, "Kid, how did you know I have no malice toward you? I appeared here quite suddenly."

Ye Cang smiled.

"It's very simple: if you had malice, I would already be dead."

This answer from Ye Cang made Angel Yan think more highly of him.

A calm and composed personality; if he could be even more outstanding...

But what Angel Yan didn't know was that the reason Ye Cang was so calm and able to talk so freely was because he was familiar with the plot; of course he was calm.

Just then, Ye Cang spoke up: "Alright, let's talk business. Before we talk business, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Cang, and I am the Chief Engineer of the Huaxia Research Institute."

Hearing Ye Cang's self-introduction, Angel Yan also came back to her senses.

"Kid, you really are polite."

"Since that's the case, I will also introduce myself. My name is Yan, and I come from the highest civilization in the Known Universe, the Angel Nebula, which pioneered the Justice Order."

"The Left Wing Guard of the King of Gods, Holy Keisha!"

"I came to Earth this time specifically for you. Kid, don't you feel very surprised that the guard of the King of Gods came specifically to find you?"

"You should feel honored~"

When she reached the end of her words, Angel Yan deliberately leaned in close to Ye Cang.

But Ye Cang dodged away.

"Ms. Angel Yan, please conduct yourself with dignity."

Ye Cang meant this from the bottom of his heart; women only slow down the speed at which he draws his blade!

Besides, Angel Yan was just teasing him because she had nothing better to do; if he really had any ideas about her, he would likely be turned into sashimi in a second.

Watching Ye Cang avoid her, Angel Yan curled her lips.

"Boring little kid!"

"Fine, let's talk business now. Little kid, do you know what your Controlled Nuclear Fusion represents!"

While saying this, Angel Yan returned to her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

After hearing this question from Angel Yan, Ye Cang nodded inwardly; his guess had indeed been correct.

After a moment of thought, Ye Cang replied: "The emergence of Controlled Nuclear Fusion represents a brand-new era; what else could it be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Angel Yan gave a cold laugh.

"Heh, from your perspective, it is naturally a brand-new era, but in my eyes, Controlled Nuclear Fusion is more likely to represent corruption and evil!"

"So, little kid, you must ensure that Earth stands on the side of Justice, otherwise you will suffer the sanctions of the Angel!"

Angel Yan's words caused Ye Cang to fall into deep thought.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion represents corruption and evil?

This statement does not conform to logi...

Thinking to this point, Ye Cang suddenly woke up; he understood what Angel Yan meant.

So these words were meant for him.

In Angel Yan's eyes, he was a genius.

And a genius's thirst for knowledge far exceeds that of an ordinary person, and it is precisely this thirst for knowledge that could very likely lead one down a different path.

In a while, the Demon King Morgana would come to Earth, and given his own achievements, there was a high probability she would try to recruit him, so...

Angel Yan watched the deep-in-thought Ye Cang and did not explain, but instead said: "I know you are confused, but you will understand my meaning soon, little kid."

After speaking, Angel Yan prepared to leave.

But after walking only a few steps, Angel Yan seemed to remember something, turned her head, and said again: "Little kid, stop thinking about it."

"I'll tell you one thing: Earth is about to suffer an interstellar invasion; you might as well think about whether your Nantianmen Project can deal with the Taotie."

"By the way, if you can become even more outstanding, you might very well gain the favor of an Angel~ little kid!"
