After returning to the basement, Ai Yu closed the door tightly without hesitation. Then, she slowly walked to a long desk and sat down, her face exhausted, slumped over the desk.
The desk was covered in piles of densely packed documents and materials. The walls were also covered with detailed information about the various Moon Envoys, which seemed to bear witness to Ai Yu's efforts and hard work.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed.
Just then, a figure quietly appeared beside Ai Yu. It was a tall, red-haired beauty, dressed in a gorgeous Xia cheongsam that perfectly outlined her graceful figure. She reached out her hand, gently placed it on Ai Yu's head, and softly asked, "Little one, what are you thinking about?"
This sudden action surprised Ai Yu. Ai Yu turned his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him: "Raphael."
"Hmm?" Raphael's ending tone was seductive. She leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between her and Ai Yu. "Little guy, do you have a lot of questions for me?"
Ai Yu nodded.
Raphael laughed and looked at Ai Yu with a look of disdain: "But who am I to answer you?" Seeing that Ai Yu still had no expression, Raphael felt a little bored and restrained his expression: "Sometimes I really feel that traveling is so boring."
"Have you been traveling for a long time?" Ai Yu asked.
Raphael sat down at the long table, crossed his legs, and said while adjusting his cheongsam: "That's fine."
"That counts?" Ai Yu didn't understand. She knocked her head and said, "Why did you come out to see me? Are you still looking for Xila? I told you that Xila is not with me."
Raphael laughed a few times: "Xila can hide in your blood, so you don't have the final say."
"You're so powerful, why don't you find him?" Ai Yu pouted. "Don't you feel bored staying in my body? Instead of wasting time with me, why not cooperate with the Star Beasts? They're even more fanatical about Xila."
"If I could have found her, I would have done it long ago. Why do you think Lanling is so concerned about you? Isn't it also for Xila?" Raphael lifted a strand of Ai Yu's hair. "If I were by your side, I could have gotten there first and taken Xila away."
Ai Yu scratched his hair irritably: "Sometimes I get confused too. I'm only seventeen, what am I going through?"
Raphael took out a piece of information about the Law Beast from the air: "Little guy, you should be thankful that I have no hostility towards creatures like you. On the contrary, I quite like Blue Star. It's beautiful here." She shook the A4 paper in her hand, then put it down and pulled out a clean piece of paper from the table.
"Xi La's language is transformation, while mine is reorganization. In a sense, he and I are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
Ai Yu watched helplessly as the A4 paper folded, disintegrated, and then turned into a small piece of wood.
Raphael dropped the wood into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. "To use your human language, Xila is like an irresponsible scumbag. She just combines with creatures everywhere, transforms them, and then slips away. I just can't stand it, so I'm chasing her all over the universe, hoping she'll be more restrained."
Otherwise, the universe would be in chaos." Raphael smiled helplessly and shrugged, "Little guy, creatures of your level are her favorites."
"Do higher-dimensional beings really exist in the universe? Can they still be called beings?"
Raphael thought about it carefully. "In your terms, it might be close to God. However, your gods each have their own responsibilities. We are different. We do whatever we want. You may say that this is unfair, but little one, there is no such thing as absolute fairness in the universe, right?"
Ai Yu remained silent. Raphael leaned over again, patted Ai Yu, and said with a smile, "Actually, in a way, Xila isn't such a bad guy. At least, he gave you a possibility. Once the Law Beast wakes up, this planet will still be destroyed."
"You..." Ai Yu considered her words carefully, but ultimately said nothing. She and Raphael were not on the same level, and she wasn't sure how to benefit from him.
After a brief silence, Ai Yu asked, "How many planets in this universe will be destroyed by the Law Beasts?"
Raphael looked up at the ceiling: "Any life that reaches a certain level of civilization will quickly face its own extinction."

Liguo. Angel Headquarters.
Akashilia stared blankly at the death message of Li Yuzhen on the screen in front of her, her body motionless, as if she had turned into a sculpture.
The cigarette in her hand had long been burned out, but she was unaware of it. Only the smoke in the air seemed to tell of her inner sorrow and pain.
For the entire afternoon, Akashilia sat there silently, smoking non-stop, recalling every detail about Li Yuzhen in her mind.
She hadn't had time to confess yet.
At that moment, the sudden ring of a cell phone shattered the silence in the room. Akashilia frowned and glanced at the caller ID, realizing it was an unfamiliar number. After a moment's hesitation, she pressed the answer button. Unsure of the location, she could only say "Hello."
A slightly depressed voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Wei Xiaoran. Miss Akasiliya, may I join the Angels now? Is that okay?"
Hearing the name, Akasiliya's memory gradually became clearer. She remembered the young man from Xia Country and couldn't help but smile. "Of course, Mr. Wei. As long as you're willing to join the Angels, it's never too late."
Akasiliya was about to smoke, but found that her cigarette box was empty. She frowned slightly and sighed.
After hearing this, Wei Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Then, after joining, can I do whatever I want?"
As he spoke, he slowly lowered the longsword he was clutching, and slumped down on the cold ground. The surroundings were utterly dark, the only thing that brought a slight change to the dead silence was the orange light overhead.
It flickered, as if it might go out at any moment, barely illuminating a small area around it. In this weak light, you could see dust particles floating aimlessly in the air, as quiet and eerie as ghosts.
Akasilia was silent for a moment, then replied, "Mr. Wei, although angels have their own rules, we respect everyone's choices and decisions. Within limits, you are completely free to pursue your goals."
"good."
