Chapter 145

Cang Yu sat on the sofa

For some reason, he always had a feeling of emptiness in his heart.

But, this shouldn't be the case.

Missing home?

There is some, but it's not strong.

Because Cang Yu believed that he would be able to return one day.

A figure appeared behind her at some unknown time.

A pair of hands reached out from behind him, passed under his shoulders, and stopped at his chest.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy."

Qi Lin's gentle voice rang in his ear.

Cang Yu grasped the pair of delicate little hands on his chest.

Gently rub it

"Why wouldn't I be happy?"

Cang Yu smiled slightly.

"Everything's going well right now, isn't it? The Humagear is almost finished transforming..."

Qilin rested her head on his shoulder.

"You know that's not what I meant."

Qi Lin was not deterred by his words.

"I can tell you don't seem very happy."

Cang Yu remained silent for a while.

Qi Lin didn't urge him, but quietly leaned on his shoulder, her fingers gently interlocking with his hand, her palm against the back of his hand, the warmth seeping in little by little.

"My heartbeat has been off since this morning," Cang Yu finally spoke, his voice a few decibels lower than usual.

"It's not a physical problem, it's some kind of indescribable feeling."

He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and finally chose the simplest and most straightforward expression.

"My right eyelid has been twitching. You know, I don't believe in this stuff. But it's been twitching all day and I just can't stop it."

Qilin didn't say anything, but simply gripped his hand tighter.

She wasn't Zhixin; she wouldn't use data to analyze every word he said.

She wasn't Yan, and she wouldn't use teasing to ease his tension.

She was just an ordinary girl who experienced too many extraordinary things after graduating from police academy.

The only thing I can do is let him know in the most clumsy yet sincere way when he needs it.

She is there.

Cang Yu leaned back on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.

"It's alright. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side—through life and death."

Qi Lin's voice was full of determination; she was serious.

Cang Yu smiled, turned his head, and gently pinched her small face:

"What are you saying?"

Qi Lin chuckled as well:

"Hmm, Xiaoyu is so amazing, she definitely won't."

Just then, Cang Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He frowned.

At the same time, He Xi in the courtyard connected with Angel Cloud's secret communication.

Upon seeing that the contact person was Angel Cloud, He Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

While she didn't remember every single angel's name like that tomboy Keisha, she did recognize most of them.

For example, clouds

This is the one who took over from his disciple Zhixin and stayed in Frieze.

"Yun? What made you think of sending me a secret message?" He Xi teased in a relaxed tone.

"Is there some handover issue with Fraser that Zhixin didn't explain to you clearly?"

Angel Cloud's voice, however, was urgent: "No, no, King Tianji, something's happened!"

He Xi abandoned her intention to continue teasing him, and her expression suddenly became serious:

"What happened?"

Angel Cloud's voice was already trembling with sobs:

"Your Majesty, something has happened to the Queen. She asked me to tell the Heavenly King: 'I touched a weapon that looks like the little one's greatsword. Tell all of them to be careful.'"

She paused, her voice filled with barely concealed fear and worry.

"King Tianji...Will the Queen really be in trouble?"

He Xi jumped up from the stool, her pupils trembling slightly.

Angel Cloud's words struck her like a bolt from the blue, leaving her utterly stunned.

Her movements were quite loud, and Cang Yu and Qi Lin in the living room also heard the noise.

The two subconsciously looked towards the courtyard, exchanged a glance, and then got up and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard He Xi's voice.

He Xi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down:

"Did the Queen... say anything else?"

"The Queen instructed me to relay these words to the Celestial King, and also instructed me to immediately place the Angel Nebula on the highest alert level in her name."

He Xi fell silent.

She knows Keisha too well.

Knowing that Keisha truly had no other choice, she opted to do this.

She was momentarily lost in thought.

Although she often bickered with that tomboy, she had some guesses about her "retirement" plans.

So even if Keisha really "retires," she'll at most just sigh about it.

After all, it was only temporarily offline.

But things are different now.

This friend who has been by my side for 30,000 years might really be...

Queen? Are you referring to Keisha? Cang Yu frowned.

"He Xi, something happened to Keisha?"

Hearing Cang Yu's voice, He Xi snapped back to reality, and hope rekindled in her eyes in an instant.

The little one must have a way! She quickly explained:

"Keisha somehow discovered a peculiar weapon, fell for its spell, and has already come into contact with it. She speculates that the weapon is of the same type as the greatsword in your hand."

Cang Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

No wonder, no wonder I've felt strange all day, I can't quite put my finger on it.

original……

A weapon similar to Aatrox's?

"Do you have any pictures?" he asked He Xi.

He Xi hurriedly pressed Angel Cloud on the other end of the communication channel for answers:

"Is there an image of the weapon the Queen touched?"

Yes, there are!

Angel Cloud didn't dare delay and immediately sent over the image of the dagger and the entire process of how the Queen was attacked.

Upon receiving the message, He Xi waved her hand, and a huge panel unfolded in front of the three of them.

Cang Yu saw the shape of the dagger, and Aatrox, who had been silently listening inside him, also sensed that aura.

Almost at the same instant the image appeared, two voices simultaneously called out that name—

"Nayafili?"

"Nayafili!"

He Xi was stunned for a moment:

"Nayafili? Is that the name of this dagger?"

Cang Yu nodded, then shook his head:

"To be precise, it's the name of the Darkin residing within this weapon."

"Then, Tomboy, she..." He Xi wanted to ask if there was any hope for Tomboy.

She was afraid to hear that answer.

Cang Yu remained silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"have no idea."

"You don't know?" He Xi was dumbfounded.

She thought Cang Yu would say yes, or give the answer she was afraid of.

But why don't you know?

Seeing He Xi's somewhat dazed gaze, Cang Yu explained:

"The Darkin possession process mainly consists of three steps: touching, reconstructing, and the last and most crucial step, soul devouring, or rather, soul battle."

"The moment someone touches a Darkin weapon, blood magic begins to dismantle the host's original muscles, fascia, and bones, eliminating the shortcomings of a mortal's physique and infusing it with the power of a Darkin who has ascended to a higher level."

"The host's original life force will be extracted, and the physical body will become a container for the immortal soul of the Darkin."

"In other words, the moment Keisha touched Nayafili, she couldn't possibly be alright."

"The most important and crucial part next is the battle of souls. If Keisha wins, her soul will not be devoured."

"If she can suppress Nayafili's soul, Keisha could even take control of this body."

He paused.

"But... what if we lose..."
