"I'm not too rigid about gender..."

Wang Ji waved his hand helplessly behind him: "Don't mess things up for me, sister. We're just not meant to be."

Having said that, he passed through the insect portal and disappeared from the spot.

Lena remained alone on the green hill, her brows furrowed in silence. After a moment's thought, she sat down quietly.

The wind blows, bringing a whistling sound, the fragrance of grass, and also the sounds of cannons and a hint of gunpowder.

She rested one hand on her knees and the other on her chin, quietly watching the soldiers training several kilometers or even tens of kilometers away.

There was also a figure who had just found a spot and started practicing wormhole jumping.

He was dressed in standard black armor, had neat short hair, and a tall, slender figure; from a distance, he appeared quite imposing.

Her hair flowed freely, its smooth sheen a radiant brown, and her eyes sparkled, her irises reflecting the color of the sun.

...

What should she say?

She didn't particularly like this boy, nor was she deeply in love with him.

At first, it wasn't exactly love at first sight, but I did have a strong liking for him, starting from the first time I saw him at the meeting.

He is good-looking.

And he's quite interesting; handsome yet naive; he also has a dignified air, remaining composed even when under someone else's roof.

Moreover, there is a story behind it all. Despite his young age and pitiful background, he is self-reliant and persevering.

She could tell from the simple information Lianfeng had given her what kind of childhood this boy had gone through—she had similar feelings.

But it wasn't that difficult for her.

He was clear-headed and had a certain patriotism. Although he had some ambition and was quite naive, it was still understandable.

Ambition in boys is hardly a flaw.

When Lena arrived in this backward civilization, she didn't actually have any plans to find a boyfriend. She figured there wouldn't be anyone she could find attractive in this backward civilization.

At most, it's a romantic interstellar trip, and I'll also help the civilization here, make some friends who are also gods, and gain some experience.

As for the other undercurrents... she didn't want to think about them; she disagreed, but she couldn't make the decision herself.

But he is indeed quite good.

Although he's a local, he's good-looking... who isn't a sucker for good looks?

And it's not just about being good-looking.

Before the meeting that day, I took down a giant Taotie mech. After the meeting, I strolled around and took down a squad of Taotie, and also strangely managed to deal with a god at the peak of beast form...

He then strangely helped kill the god, all while appearing nonchalant.

If all of this isn't enough to make Lena feel differently about him, then that would be really strange.

She naturally tried to get to know him... and discovered that he was a book-loving boy who could spend an entire afternoon or morning reading.

Are there really perfect boys in the world? He's quite like one.

Although he's a bit petty now, suspicious and distrustful of people, and still loves to play and joke around, he can be quite arrogant and annoying when he talks.

She was naturally attracted and wanted to continue getting to know him to see what he was really like; time would tell.

Actually, for her, it didn't matter if his super genes weren't that great. With her status and position, why would she care about that... Of course, it would be even better if they were great.

Moreover, his abilities are not bad. Even if they cannot compare to the special nature of the three great god-making projects, they should be stronger than the Spear of Dexing. With her full support, advancing to the God of War would be quite easy.

Moreover, it seems that his abilities have hidden depths. On his second day at the Super God Academy, he learned how to calculate wormholes and transport human bodies... This is another formidable ability.

His gene engine wasn't particularly strong, naturally not as special as the three great gods and the Time-Space Rose, but it was definitely not weak.

For Lena, this was another surprise, and she was certain that, therefore, his importance in her heart increased.

The importance of genes in this world is undeniable, and there's nothing to be ashamed of saying it.

But suddenly, the very next day, she went straight for someone else, actively pursuing him and launching a fierce offensive that left her no time to react.

That's... like a joke.

Of course, even with reaction time, she couldn't possibly have any special reaction; she wasn't an impulsive god. However... she could artificially create reaction time.

Then carefully observe his character and temperament.

During this time, she discovered many more things.

He can be funny, silly, and very generous at times, even shameless.

He was fairly upright, but also cunning, yet very frank.

At other times, he is very composed, gentle, and peaceful.

He was very considerate of Qilin. After her "well-intentioned" reminder, he did not pursue her rashly, but instead proceeded step by step.

Also, he is very arrogant.

It was a pride etched into his very bones, one that he himself had carved into himself.

It's not arrogance, but self-importance.

After much deliberation, Lena gently buried her head between her knees and closed her eyes.

She hadn't originally planned to date, and although there weren't any major obstacles preventing her from doing so, but now...

She felt a little awkward and a little wronged.

By now, she knew she must have fallen for him, but her noble status prevented her from falling in love at first sight.

Anyone else would fall for him at first sight.

Her identity, however, needs to be observed.

Even now... it still can't be considered unforgettable.

But she knew that some things, once missed, are truly missed.
