Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 507 How can a warrior merely wish to live a million years? True love will last forever!

As the light faded, He Xi's figure appeared in the center of the courtyard. Her silver-white armor shimmered faintly in the sunlight, and her expression was calm.

"master!"

Zhi Xin was the first to react, and her face instantly blossomed into an incredibly bright smile as she quickly went to greet him like a cheerful little bird.

Seeing her apprentice's excited and enthusiastic appearance, He Xi felt a warmth in her heart, her face softened, and she nodded to herself.
As expected of my personally taught disciple, after being separated for so long, he really misses his master. What a sentiment!
She was just about to give a gentle smile and say a few words of concern, such as, "Zhixin, it's been a long time. You must be having a hard time in the real world."

But then Zhixin suddenly stopped two steps away from her, clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling, and asked in an impatient tone:
"Master! You've finally arrived! Did you bring everything that Sister Yan asked you to bring on her list? Especially the resources related to angel genes and divine bodies!"

"I want to test whether the Angel Gene will work on my idol Ye Xuan."

The gentle smile that He Xi had just begun to cultivate, filled with an atmosphere of teacher-student kindness and filial piety, froze instantly and then disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Well, all that emotion for nothing.

She glared at Zhixin with annoyance, a sense of helplessness welling up inside her, feeling that "my disciple's betrayal has broken my heart," and sighed inwardly.

I used to think Zhixin was quite smart, but now she seems to be getting "dumber" and "stupider".
It must be that "tomboy" Keisha raised her to be stupid.

I should never have agreed to let her become a Holy Right Wing member.

He Xi silently added another entry to the list of Keisha, who was far away in the known universe.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Zhixin, but looking at her apprentice's innocent appearance, she swallowed back the scolding that was on the tip of her tongue.

After all, they are the children I raised myself, and I can't bear to be harsh on them.

She shook her head helplessly, then turned her gaze to Angel Yan, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Well, Zhixin is reluctant to say it, but isn't there another "resilient" one?
He Xi crossed his arms and leisurely looked Angel Yan up and down, his eyes full of mockery, and teased her in a drawn-out tone:
"Hey, isn't this our future King of Angels? Looks like he's living quite a comfortable life in the real world."

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and your spiritual power has become so abundant. If converted to real-world standards, you're almost at the threshold of the sixth rank, right? Your progress is incredibly rapid."

"My strength has improved, and I have a 'male god' with unlimited potential by my side day and night, making progress together; tsk tsk tsk, isn't this life much more comfortable than worrying about justice and order and dealing with the demon Taotie all day long in the known universe?"

"Don't you feel a bit... well, like you're so happy you don't want to leave?"

Angel Yan, who was trying not to laugh, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard He Xi's teasing, especially the last word.

What the hell is this "forgetting home in pleasure"?! What does the Heavenly King think of her?
She retorted in a serious tone:
"King Tianji, don't talk nonsense."

"The enhancement of strength is a requirement of duty, just like upholding justice and order and dealing with the demon Taotie, all of which are in service of the angelic civilization."

"Oh?"

He Xi raised an eyebrow and asked with a grin:
So you don't deny being accompanied by a "male god"?

"I"

Angel Yan was speechless for a moment, and her face turned red instantly.

It wasn't that he was embarrassed, but rather that he was furious, with the Flaming Sword already in his hands.

"Definitely!"

Upon seeing this, He Xi immediately raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, but her smile widened even more.

"It was just a joke, why are you getting so worked up? You're always drawing your sword, you really need to change that temper, otherwise how will you ever be a king?"

"Oh, right, Keisha didn't die, so you can't be her anymore."

"After seeing the plot of 'Super Soldier', she probably wouldn't dare let you be the one."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, this time I really won't say anything."

He Xi knew when to stop and ceased teasing Angel Yan, who was clearly on the verge of exploding.

If she keeps teasing her, she might actually stab her twice without thinking, and that would be hilarious.

Her gaze swept lightly over Angel Yan, finally landing on Ye Xuan, who remained quietly seated in the rattan chair in the center of the courtyard, a hint of undisguised interest flashing in her eyes.

Despite her apparent teasing of Angel Yan, her attention never left Ye Xuan.

Whether it was from the moment she arrived here, her interaction with Angel Yan and Zhi Xin, or even her teasing of Angel Yan just now, Ye Xuan's expression remained one of almost lazy nonchalance.

There was no surprise, wariness, or displeasure at being ignored.

It was as if her arrival was just a gentle breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples, but unable to shake the deep depths of the lake's heart.

What surprised He Xi even more was that, with her abilities, she was completely unable to detect any obvious energy fluctuations from Ye Xuan.

If Yan's spiritual power is like a light in the darkness, which can be recognized with just one glance, then Ye Xuan is like a black hole, where all his aura is contained to the extreme.

If it were not visible to the naked eye, it would almost blend into its surroundings.

However, compared to the last point, this is nothing.

What shocked and even slightly alarmed He Xi the most was the indescribable throbbing that her own body was experiencing, stemming from a primal instinct. Her fingertips unconsciously pressed against the armor on her left breastplate.

Through the cold metal, her heart, tempered over tens of thousands of years and as stable as a star, was now beating uncontrollably, clearly and powerfully.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe.

Her body, and her angelic genes that had undergone countless optimizations, seemed to instinctively and silently yearn for Ye Xuan's existence.

An irresistible sense of closeness, like a gentle yet persistent tide, surged in, urging her to get closer and closer, to the source that seemed to represent a higher form of life.

This feeling acts directly on the instincts of life, on the most primal desires in the evolutionary process; it is pure, intense, and almost impossible to completely suppress with reason!
That is, the one standing here now is the Heavenly King who has experienced countless years, not "He Xi" from 30,000 years ago.

Otherwise, she had no doubt that she would have fallen hopelessly in love with Ye Xuan the moment she saw him.

This has nothing to do with reason, but rather acts directly on the genes, stemming from the desire for life.

No wonder Angel Yan couldn't resist; even if Keisha had stayed by his side for a long time, she might not have been able to resist the urge to act.

So, what exactly is this attraction?

If it is merely a difference in the level of life, why does it not evoke awe and fear, but rather this almost instinctive longing and affinity?
This is not reasonable.

When lower life forms encounter higher beings they cannot comprehend, their instinctive reaction should be one of vigilance and fear, just as mortals facing gods should first feel insignificance and trepidation, rather than a moth-to-a-flame kind of yearning.

Moreover, since the life forms are already different, how can we talk about "attraction" at the genetic level?
The so-called "attraction" at the genetic level is a selective response based on the instinct for reproduction that only occurs within the same race when faced with a more perfect individual.

So what caused her genes to "yearn" for Ye Xuan?

Does Ye Xuan possess something within him that intensely yearns for angels?
He Xi was momentarily lost in thought, but to outsiders, it appeared as if she was staring intently at Ye Xuan, even unconsciously pressing her hand to her chest, as if suppressing some intense emotion.

This scene, seen by Angel Yan, instantly reminded her of the primal, life-force-driven reactions she and Zhi Xin felt when they saw Ye Xuan after he evolved into a "Life Form of Light".

A slight smile crept onto her lips; she had finally found a reason.

So he didn't hesitate to tease her:

"What's wrong? Why is our Heavenly King clutching his chest? Is he falling for someone?"

"If you're interested, just say it. I think Ye Xuan wouldn't refuse your 'offering', Heavenly King."

"Although you are over 30,000 years old."

Her words were tinged with amusement.

This also pulled He Xi back to reality from her thoughts, making her realize her lapse in composure just now, but she would not admit defeat in the face of Yan's teasing.

He Xi shifted her gaze from Ye Xuan to Angel Yan, her eyes showing no embarrassment but rather a sly glint.

He responded calmly, with a tone that carried a slight chuckle yet seemed to be stating a fact:
"A million years from now, he'll only be a tiny bit younger than me, won't he?"

Upon hearing this, Angel Yan almost instinctively blurted out a rebuttal:

"How can a soldier live to be a million years old!"

This is exactly what He Xi was waiting for!

Her smile deepened instantly, and she immediately said:
True love will last forever.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent.

Angel Yan was instantly stunned. Wasn't this the conversation between her and Queen Keisha in her original future?

But now, these words came from He Xi's mouth, used to retaliate against her?
“Good food and fun”

He Xi snorted as she watched Angel Yan's discomfiture, then turned her gaze back to Ye Xuan.

Without the slightest hesitation, she walked to the empty chair opposite Ye Xuan and sat down, relaxed, and looked at the young man in front of her with great interest, who was too young but already stood at the pinnacle of power.

"To be honest, I'm very curious."

"In just one year, he has completed a path that countless strong people could not reach in their entire lives, and has gained such power today."

"At this age, when you're full of youthful vigor and most eager to prove yourself and take control of the world, how do you manage to be so calm?"

He Xi was very curious about this.

After all, nineteen years old is the age when one's strength far surpasses that of everyone else, and it should be the time when one is most young and arrogant.

If it were anyone else, even with only one ten-thousandth of Ye Xuan's strength, they would probably have already begun to unleash their human desires under the influence of that power.

But Ye Xuan never had such thoughts. He neither wanted to become a hero who protects the world, nor a ruthless demon king, nor a god who leads all living beings forward.

They were simply improving their own abilities.
