Including He Xi, whom he just subdued, he now only has two spots left.
Keisha, Liang Bing, Qi Lin.
Three women, two spots.
A nameless anger suddenly welled up in Lin Ci's heart.
It's all Karl's fault!
If it weren't for the desire to show off and recruit that useless, perverted freak, we'd have just enough spots available now!
Lin Ci grew angrier the more she thought about it.
He shouted lowly.
The next second, Karl appeared out of thin air beside the bed, still in the posture of studying data, looking completely bewildered.
"Boss... Boss? You wanted to see me?"
Without saying a word, Lin Ci stood up and delivered a resounding slap to his pale, handsome face.
The crisp sound echoed within the palace.
Carl was completely stunned by the blow and spun around twice on the spot.
She covered her face, which had instantly swelled up, her eyes filled with innocence and grievance.
"Boss...I..."
Before Lin Ci could finish speaking, Karl's figure vanished into thin air once again.
Far away in the Styx Galaxy, at the Deathsong Academy, Karl covered his face, his mind completely blank.
I... just now...
Was it that the boss called you over from billions of light-years away and slapped you in the butt?
Chapter 159 The Four Women Meet
In the palace, He Xi was also awakened by this sudden change.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Lin Ci with a confused expression.
"Was that Karl just now?"
"You're wrong."
Lin Ci lay back down without changing his expression, but the anger in his heart had dissipated considerably.
He Xi leaned against him and sensed his agitated mood.
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Lin Ci sighed and then laid out all his concerns.
This includes the limitation on the number of spirit-binding slots, and the existence of Qi Lin.
After listening, He Xi was not angry; instead, a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful blue eyes.
"That Earth girl named Qilin... is too weak."
Lin Ci was also troubled by this.
Once he leaves, the person left behind will definitely become the Space Principal's primary target.
"Can't you keep them with you all the time?"
He Xi offered her opinion.
Lin Ci shook his head.
“Souls that I have bound can come with me to the next world. But those that haven’t been bound… cannot.”
He said in a deep voice.
"Therefore, one of us is destined to be left behind."
He Xi also fell silent.
She knows what this means.
Being left behind is tantamount to being sentenced to death.
A brief silence fell over the palace.
A moment later, He Xi suddenly raised her head, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.
“We should call Keisha, Liang Bing, and Qi Lin over.”
"Let's discuss it together."
Lin Ci looked at her and nodded in agreement.
It's time to let his women meet.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his immense mental power instantly traversed the endless void, locking onto three completely different coordinates.
It's time to lay our cards on the table.
He Xi smiled mischievously.
"A showdown won't hurt for a little while longer."
"Then what do you mean?"
He Xi's fingers slid across Lin Ci's chest.
"What do you think?"
Lin Ci instantly understood, and with a wicked grin, he started moving again.
......
......
Inside the Heavenly Palace of Merlo, in the bedchamber of the Heavenly King.
Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
He Xi leaned lazily against Lin Ci's chest, her fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on his firm chest.
Her ice-blue silk nightgown was somewhat disheveled.
Her exposed skin was smooth as jade, with a faint, healthy blush.
Feel the immense power within your body, enough to shake the stars.
Only then did she truly experience the unparalleled sense of fulfillment that came with becoming Lin Ci's spirit.
Lin Ci looked down at the woman in his arms, who was as docile as a cat, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Time to get up, my Heavenly King."
His voice had the characteristic hoarseness of early morning.
He Xi snuggled against him and reluctantly opened her eyes.
Those beautiful, deep blue eyes shimmered with a captivating allure.
"Lie down a little longer."
"I have important business to attend to."
Lin Ci patted her pert buttocks.
He Xi then lazily got up and stretched in front of Lin Ci without any hesitation.
The perfect curves are on full display.
A moment later, the two, dressed in their finest attire, appeared in the solemn and majestic Great Council Hall of the Heavenly Court of Melo.
Lin Ci unceremoniously sat in the main seat that originally belonged to the King of Angels.
He Xi sat down next to him.
This change in position symbolizes a complete shift in the power structure of the Celestial Court of Merlo, and indeed the entire angelic civilization.
Lin Ci nodded at He Xi.
He Xi understood, and her expression became serious.
Without warning, the space in the center of the council hall distorted, and three figures appeared out of thin air, staggering to their feet.
It was Keisha and Liang Bing, who were fighting billions of light-years away, and Qi Lin, who was on Earth.
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
Liang Bing was the first to react. She steadied herself and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, completely bewildered.
Keisha and Qilin were equally surprised and uncertain, cautiously looking around.
When their gazes finally settled on the composed man in the main seat.
All doubts and wariness instantly turned into overwhelming joy.
Liang Bing let out a cheer.
Like a fledgling returning to its nest, she flew straight into Lin Ci's arms and hugged him tightly.
"I've missed you so much! You heartless bastard, you haven't come to see me in so long."
She buried her face in Lin Ci's chest, her voice full of grievance.
Keisha and Qilin, on the other hand, were much more composed.
Keisha stood there, her noble golden eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement and longing.
She simply gazed at him quietly, as if trying to etch his image into the depths of her soul.
Qi Lin's heart was racing and her cheeks were burning.
She looked at Lin Ci sitting on the throne, and then at the elegant, beautiful silver-haired woman beside him.
And the equally stunning woman who had just thrown herself into Lin Ci's arms stirred up a complex and indescribable emotion within him.
Is this the three angel kings he was talking about?
