Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 233 A Mountain of Love Letters

Back home, Jing Chen looked at his wings and sighed softly. The secret that was originally known only to Zhi Shu and a few others was now known to the entire class.

"I'm so sorry, Master," Icarus said, sounding somewhat downcast.

"Isn't this great? We didn't get hurt, and it's quite fun." Nymph sat in her chair, turned around, and looked at Jing Chen.

Jing Chen glanced back at Nymph, "I'm not in the mood to be angry with you right now."

Jing Chen pondered whether he should use his own power to erase all their memories. Or, to use the universal card to wipe their memories clean with a single click. If he didn't erase their memories, it would also be a considerable problem for him.

"I will never go to school again," Icarus said.

Jing Chen paused for a moment, looked at Icarus, and smiled as he ruffled Icarus's hair, saying, "Didn't I tell you? All you need to do now is be happy. As long as you're happy, I'll take care of everything else, okay?"

Icarus paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Master."

Nymph didn't seem to take Jing Chen's words to heart at all, and continued eating on her own.

The next day, Jing Chen, Zhi Shu, and Chu Yuan walked ahead, with Icarus and Nymph following behind. The five of them went to school as usual. Suddenly, four girls waiting at the school gate saw Icarus and Nymph, shouted "Good morning," and ran towards them.

"Good morning, Icarus. Have you done your math homework?"

"Yes, that's right." Icarus stared blankly at the girls surrounding him.

"Nymph, you like watching the midday theater, don't you?"

"That's great, Jingchen, they'll both make friends soon," Chu Yuan said.

Jing Chen said, "Well, that's great. Being able to make friends will help them adapt to campus life better."

The five of them were walking through the school, down the corridor, when they suddenly heard a bird chirping. Nymph stopped and turned around, seeing a cage with a small bird inside.

Nymph walked toward the cage, and Jing Chen spotted her immediately. Looking up, he saw an iron cage in front of Nymph, with a small yellow bird inside.

Jing Chen had heard the birdsong long ago; the little bird had been there since he entered the school.

Nymph stood in front of the birdcage, watching the little bird inside flapping its wings and chirping. Nymph fell silent.

"Never seen a birdcage before?" Zhishu asked as Zhishu, Chuyuan, Icarus, and Jingchen walked over.

"Miss Nymph must really like birds, right?" Chu Yuan asked.

Nymph stared at the birdcage, remaining silent. Suddenly, as if she had understood something, she flung open the door, letting the little bird fly out.

Tomoki and Chu Yuan were both stunned for a moment. Nymph watched quietly as the bird flew into the sky and disappeared from sight.

"What are you doing?!" Tomoki shouted at Nymph.

Nymph didn't answer Tomoki's reply, turning her face away with a somewhat dejected expression. Jingchen patted Tomoki's shoulder and said, "Never mind, Nymph must have her own reasons for doing this. Let her be."

"It's nothing," Nymph said casually as she walked to the side.

Jing Chen told Zhi Shu and Chu Yuan to take Icarus back to the classroom first, while he himself went to Nymph.

Nymph was sitting under a tree when Jing Chen walked over and sat down under the same tree. Nymph asked impatiently, "What are you doing here? Are you going to lecture me?"

Jing Chen picked up a leaf from beside him, held it high, and looked through it to see the veins.

"When you saw that little bird, it reminded you of yourself, didn't it?" Jing Chen asked.

"What's it to you?" Nymph said.

"Yes, it really has nothing to do with me. However, living under the control of the Lord of the Sky every day is probably the most gratifying thing for you artificial angels. But judging from your behavior just now, you're not happy living under the Lord of the Sky's control. Am I right?" Jing Chen said.

Nymph remained silent. Jing Chen said, "Now that Icarus has escaped the control of the Lord of the Sky, he sent you down to capture Icarus. Have you considered what your fate will be if Icarus is captured?"

Nymph remained silent. Jing Chen said, "I know what your fate will be. In terms of combat strength, you're not as strong as Icarus. In terms of hacking skills, Icarus isn't much weaker than you. Apart from your high achievements in electronics, you're worthless to the Lord of the Sky in other aspects. After Icarus goes back, there's only one fate for you: being neglected. I also know that even if Icarus doesn't go back, your fate will still be terrible. Icarus isn't the only one under the Lord of the Sky with strong combat power; there's Astraea and Chaos. Let's talk about Astraea first; her combat power is second only to Icarus and Chaos. As for Chaos, having consumed so many artificial angels, his strength is definitely not much weaker than Icarus's."

Nymph remained silent, and Jing Chen continued, "Now you're practically my friend. You can tell me anything. Even if it's about destroying Synapse or killing the Lord of the Sky, I can do it!"

Hearing Jing Chen say this, Nymph looked at Jing Chen in surprise. Jing Chen had already gotten up and walked towards the classroom.

"...How dare a mere insect speak so arrogantly?" Nymph muttered.

Zhishu, Chuyuan, and Icarus were standing at the door waiting for Jingchen and Nymph. After they arrived, they went inside together to change their shoes.

Zhishu and Chuyuan opened the shoe cabinet, took out shoes, and changed. Jingchen looked at his shoe cabinet, feeling that something was off. Icarus and Nymph opened the shoe cabinet directly, and a large number of love letters immediately overflowed out.

The love letters to the two of them piled up into a small mountain at their feet. Zhishu and Chuyuan stared in astonishment at the love letters from Icarus and Nymph. Even Jingchen's lips twitched slightly.

"Really?" Tomoki said in disbelief.

"Wow...so many!" Chu Yuan said, somewhat incredulously.

"What is this, Master?" Icarus asked, looking down at the love letter below.

"Love letters, oh love letters," Jing Chen said.

"love letter?"

"What is this?" Nymph asked with some disgust. Then, Nymph picked up all the love letters and threw them all into the trash can.

"Stop!" Tomoki saw Nymph trying to throw away all the love letters and rushed over to stop her.

"Please consider the feelings of the person who worked so hard to write these things!"

"I'm not interested," Nymph said indifferently.

"Alright, read it a little bit," Tomoki said.

Icarus crouched down and slowly picked up each letter one by one, reading them through.

"Master..." Icarus looked up at Jing Chen and said.

"Do whatever you want," Jing Chen said.

"Yes, Master," Icarus replied.

Attracted by the affair between Icarus and Nymph, Jing Chen opened the shoe cabinet, and a huge pile of pink and white things immediately poured out. Jing Chen reacted quickly, dodging to the side. After stopping and looking closely, Jing Chen realized that there were actually more love letters in his shoe cabinet than Icarus and Nymph combined.

The love letters piled up in Jingchen's shoe cabinet were as tall as two layers of the shoe cabinet!

"Wow! So many!" Tomoki exclaimed as he turned around.

"More than Miss Icarus and Miss Nymph." Chu Yuan was also surprised.

Jing Chen felt ashamed; it was definitely because of the wings he had been forced to display yesterday that had attracted so much attention. But he couldn't just throw them away without reading them; after all, he had written love letters himself and knew how hard it was for those who wrote them. With a sigh, Jing Chen carried the pile of love letters aside, changed his shoes, found a large bag, packed all the love letters inside, and dragged it into the classroom.
