Chapter 99: A Request for Help from Di Leina

After handling various issues, large and small, Ye Cang did not linger for too long at ten thousand meters underground, but instead turned around and returned to the surface.

Because he had received a notification from the Nantianmen Project—no, it should be said, from the Stellar-class Warship Project team—stating that they had some brand-new research results and a "tiny" problem.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Cang returned to the ground.

Just as he was preparing to board the Chixiao Transport Plane to head to the Underground Base, a figure snuck in through the office window.

After the figure landed, they performed a tactical roll and hid behind the office desk.

The next second, a small head poked out from behind the desk.

It met Ye Cang's gaze perfectly.

"Hehehe, what a coincidence, Ye Cang, I didn't expect you to be here too!" a naive, girlish voice rang out.

Hearing this voice made Ye Cang cover his forehead.

Di Leina... why is she here again!

And she came in through the window; couldn't she just walk through the front door like a normal person?

"Di Leina, what are you here for?" Knowing he wouldn't be able to leave for a while, Ye Cang simply sat down on the sofa.

He casually used Quantum Control to whip up a cup of green tea for himself.

After taking a sip of the green tea, Ye Cang said again: "Also, why didn't you use the front door?"

"Don't tell me you think climbing through windows is very interesting?"

"That's not it! It's clearly because the guards here are too strict, so I had no choice but to climb through the window." As she spoke, Di Leina walked out from behind the office desk.

She then brushed the dust off herself and sat down right next to Ye Cang without standing on ceremony.

However, as she sat down, Di Leina deliberately sat toward Ye Cang's legs.

Ye Cang had seen through Di Leina's intentions early on, so the moment she sat down, he agilely dodged away while holding his green tea.

This caused Di Leina to sit on nothing but air.

Looking at Ye Cang who had dodged her, Di Leina pouted.

She didn't understand; she was a goddess, and the main god of Lieyang at that, so why did Ye Cang have to dodge her? Seriously.

If it were Ge Xiaolun and the others, they would probably be so happy they'd be blowing bubbles from their noses.

Di Leina was just about to open her mouth to complain.

But Ye Cang anticipated her move.

"Cut the nonsense, get to the point."

"I have things to do on my end, don't hold me up."

"Ahhh, hateful Ye Cang!" Di Leina was driven to distraction by anger.

But she was helpless.

She could only obediently explain the reason for her visit.

"Ye Cang, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I've been having nightmares every day, and every time I dream of Cheng Yaowen... doing... *cough cough cough* to me."

"Anyway, I haven't been sleeping well lately, can you help me see what's wrong with me!"

After listening to Di Leina's words, a strange expression immediately appeared on Ye Cang's face.

Di Leina having nightmares?

That's impossible!

How could Di Leina possibly still have nightmares?

One must know that the root cause of Di Leina's nightmares was Morgana wanting to blow up Juxia.

So she had Heifeng manipulate the dreams of Di Leina and Cheng Yaowen to break their wills, and then take advantage of the opening to control Di Leina in one fell swoop.

But Heifeng had already been killed by him offhandedly!

And besides this, there was one more thing.

That is, why would Di Leina come to him for help?

Does he look like a pushover?

Di Leina looked at the silent Ye Cang, as if she knew what he was thinking.

She immediately explained: "I didn't want to trouble you at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that among the people I know, you are the most reliable."

"More reliable than anyone else, so I came to find you."

Hearing this, Ye Cang immediately understood.

This is the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm, and weighing pros and cons.

If he were in Di Leina's shoes, he would likely make the same choice.

It's just... he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

This had absolutely nothing to do with him, and he still had things to finish on his end.

Just as Ye Cang was preparing to brush Di Leina off, he suddenly remembered that he was plotting against Lieyang, and Di Leina was crucial to that.

After a moment of thought, Ye Cang offered a suggestion.

"I can't help you, Di Leina, but I can give you a suggestion: you can return to Lieyang."

"Lieyang can definitely help you."

After saying this, Ye Cang stood up, preparing to leave.

He had said all he could say; there was no need to continue talking to Di Leina.

After hearing Ye Cang's suggestion, Di Leina decisively refused and stood up, blocking Ye Cang's path.

"Hey, Ye Cang, don't brush me off!" Di Leina said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"If you don't have a way, just say you don't have a way; there's no need to make me go back to Lieyang!"

"If I go back, Pan Zhen will definitely..."

Before Di Leina could finish speaking, Ye Cang interrupted her directly.

"How Pan Zhen is doing is your business; I have already given you my advice, whether you listen or not is your business."

"Also, I remember telling you that those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles; you must utilize every force you can to help yourself."

"But now, it is just returning to Lieyang, yet you refuse in every possible way; tell me, when will you be able to grow into a qualified Main God?"

"When will you be able to stop being a puppet?"

After speaking, Ye Cang did not care about Di Leina's reaction, left the office, went outside, and immediately boarded the Chixiao Transport Plane to leave this place.

Leaving Di Leina alone standing in the office.

After a long while, Di Leina muttered to herself: "Ye Cang is right!"

"Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles; besides, I am the Main God of Lieyang to begin with, so what is wrong with me returning to Lieyang? Isn't this very normal!"

"Just right, I want to see what the current situation of Lieyang is, and whether this Lieyang belongs to me, the Main God, or to him, Pan Zhen!"

After making up her mind, Di Leina came to the window, leaped down directly, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang had arrived at the Underground Base.

He took the elevator down to the underground level.

As soon as he reached the underground, Ye Cang saw a researcher standing at the entrance waiting for him.

Seeing Ye Cang arrive, the researcher immediately stepped forward, grabbed Ye Cang, and walked toward the inside of the base.

While walking, the researcher said: "Chief Engineer Ye, you have finally come."

"Come with me quickly and look at our latest research results; this will definitely surprise you!"

But Ye Cang ignored this remark from the researcher.

"Hmm, there is no rush for that."

"Compared to the latest research results, I am more interested in knowing what this 'small problem' you mentioned is?"

"Why do I always feel that this small problem must be a big problem?"

As his voice fell, the researcher walking in front immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Chief Engineer Ye, you cannot wrong us!" the researcher said with an indignant expression.
