Below that lifelike outline, there was a line of handwriting that she knew all too well.
Her handwriting was vigorous and powerful, as if it could penetrate the paper and be imprinted into her soul.
"Don't miss me. I will meet you again in the near future, just as I did when I first met you."
A scalding tear fell onto the paper, spreading a small stain of ink.
He Xi smiled.
That wasn't a promise, that was an agreement.
A promise that transcends time and space.
He Xi put on her meticulous research uniform again, transforming once more into the calm and rational mind of the most powerful brain in the angelic civilization.
She did not mention Lin Ci's departure to anyone.
The existence of the "Lord of All Gods" is the pillar of faith for the entire resistance army and must not be shaken.
Lin Ci has only gone to the future temporarily; they will eventually meet again in the future.
However, her unusual behavior was still noticed by the two most perceptive people.
Keisha found He Xi analyzing the star map in front of the command console.
"He Xi, where is my god?"
Keisha's voice was calm, but deep within her golden eyes lay a barely perceptible tension.
He Xi didn't even look up, continuing to mark something on the star map, her tone indifferent.
"My God has important business to attend to, so I must leave now."
She paused for a moment, then added.
"However, he will come back."
Upon hearing this, Keisha's tense shoulders visibly relaxed.
She gave He Xi a deep look, asked no more questions, and turned to leave.
She was afraid, afraid that she would never see the man who had pulled her out of the abyss again.
As long as he comes back, that's enough.
Not long after Keisha left, another figure burst in.
"Hey, silver-haired girl."
Liang Bing grabbed He Xi's hand, which was moving across the star map, and asked directly.
"Where's Lin Ci?"
"Don't tell me he's still fooling around in your tent."
He Xi expressionlessly brushed Liang Bing's hand away and repeated the same words she had used when dealing with Keisha.
Ke Liangbing is not Keisha.
She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, looking He Xi up and down.
"Is something important?"
"What could be more important than overthrowing Hua Ye?"
She leaned closer to He Xi and gently sniffed her with her pert nose.
The next second, Liang Bing's expression changed.
She smelled something.
It was a scent she knew all too well, a scent etched into her very being.
That's the unique scent that lingers on a woman after a passionate encounter with Lin Ci.
She herself had experienced it.
And now, this smell...
It actually appeared on this serious-looking, seemingly uninterested silver-haired fox spirit.
Liang Bing stared intently at He Xi, her eyes instantly turning dangerous.
She suddenly leaned closer, her pert nose almost touching He Xi's cheek, and gently sniffed her.
The next second, Liang Bing's expression changed.
She smelled something.
Liang Bing stared intently at He Xi, her eyes instantly turning dangerous.
She leaned closer and smelled it more carefully.
That's the taste.
Liang Bing straightened up, crossed her arms, looked at He Xi with a half-smile, and asked, word by word.
"You slept with Lin Ci too?"
He Xi's body froze instantly, her mind going blank.
She instinctively wanted to deny it.
But the word "also" in Liang Bing's words was like a sharp thorn, piercing her mind.
He Xi suddenly raised her head, covered her mouth, and her usually calm and composed silver eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
Liang Bing looked at her like this, pursed her lips, and nodded.
The air solidified instantly.
The two women, the most outstanding women in the angelic civilization, stared at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
To He Xi's surprise, Liang Bing did not get angry.
She just sighed with some regret and muttered to herself.
"Tsk, you really got off easy."
Having spent so much time together, she had witnessed He Xi's abilities and character firsthand.
She is a woman as formidable as her sister Keisha.
She is worthy of Lin Ci.
Liang Bing was just a little annoyed.
Lin Ci's second woman was not her sister Keisha.
"I told Keisha a long time ago to make a move sooner, instead of dragging her feet."
"This is bad, I can only be third in line now."
Liang Bing's mutterings were not loud, but they clearly reached He Xi's ears.
He Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, unsure of what to say.
"So, where did Lin Ci go?"
Liang Bing brought the topic back to the present.
She knew very well that someone like Lin Ci would never leave without saying goodbye.
So, only He Xi, who was with him at the end, knew where he went.
He Xi opened her mouth, still wanting to use her previous excuse to brush it off.
But looking into Liang Bing's all-knowing eyes, she knew she couldn't fool her.
Moreover, since Liang Bing is also Lin Ci's woman, she has the right to know the truth.
Finally, He Xi took a deep breath.
In an extremely low voice, he uttered the secret that was enough to overturn the entire understanding of the angel civilization.
"He... comes from the future."
When Liang Bing heard this, her first reaction was disbelief.
But she quickly calmed down.
She carefully recalled everything that had happened after Lin Ci appeared.
That kind of unpredictable and mysterious method, that kind of power that transcends the times, that kind of all-knowing foresight.
If he came from the future...
It seems that everything can be explained now.
Liang Bing quickly accepted this fact.
"Where will he be waiting for us in the future?"
He Xi turned her gaze outside the tent, looking at the distant starry sky.
"He will be waiting for us a thousand years from now, to meet us again."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried a firm conviction.
"Just like when he first met us."
"millennium……"
Liang Bing nodded.
For angels with long lifespans, a thousand years is not a long time.
"Don't tell anyone about this."
Liang Bing suddenly thought of something and gave a serious instruction.
He Xi was certainly aware of the stakes involved.
“Especially Keisha.”
Liang Bing emphasized this point.
He Xi recalled the light hidden deep within Keisha's golden eyes whenever she mentioned Lin Ci.
