He Xi, accompanied by Feng Yin, instantly arrived at a vast expanse of grassland via a wormhole jump.
As soon as they landed and steadied themselves, He Xi raised her Royal Sword and swung it towards Feng Yin.
Feng Yin reacted swiftly, drawing his fingers across the space behind him, creating a purple rift. He then fell backward into the fissure, putting distance between them.
He Xi smiled at the rift in front of her, "Spatial tearing, this is much more strenuous than wormhole traversal!"
Feng Yin shook his arm and took out his silver sword, preparing for battle.
"The books about wormholes in the library only contain simple techniques on retrieving objects! There's not even a hint of more advanced knowledge about wormholes!"
He Xi pondered for a moment before replying, "Books about wormholes are often intertwined with accounts of the Tianqi King. Information about the Tianqi King is prohibited by Keisha!
After we're done, I'll share some knowledge about wormholes with you.
If you master my wormhole techniques, you should be able to navigate most of the known universe with ease!
But for now, I need to test your combat abilities without the aid of wormholes!"
He Xi took a step, instantly appearing in front of Feng Yin. Feng Yin quickly turned his sword to block.
He then grabbed He Xi's arm, attempting to fling her away. However, as soon as he lifted her a bit, He Xi landed back down.
"You little rascal, thinking of using brute force against your teacher because she appears frail? Forgot to tell you, your teacher is quite strong too!"
Silver light flashed in He Xi's eyes as she instantly flipped Feng Yin over and threw him away.
Feng Yin used the momentum to tear space mid-air, darting inside and reappearing behind He Xi. He thrust his sword towards her.
He Xi didn't make any major movements. She simply reversed her sword and held it upright behind her, precisely blocking Feng Yin's attack.
"Using force against force, a great change of tactics, but not fast enough!" He Xi instructed Feng Yin while sparring with him.
Feng Yin remained calm and continued to change his tactics, attacking He Xi from various angles.
He continuously used his void abilities to tear space and dodge, moving through the rifts.
After failing to attack He Xi from multiple directions, Feng Yin gathered his energy once again and attacked from her front.
He Xi shook her head with a smile, "Feng Yin, don't let multiple failures lead to frustration and make foolish, impulsive decisions!"
He Xi raised her sword and prepared to strike Feng Yin down, ending this unsatisfactory test.
As He Xi confidently swung her Royal Sword horizontally, aiming for Feng Yin's head, she missed completely, even though her vision and energy information confirmed his position.
He Xi's pupils dilated in shock.
The next second, Feng Yin's sword struck He Xi's wrist, void energy vibrating, knocking the Royal Sword out of her hand.
He Xi instinctively shifted sideways and took a step, but stepped on empty space, even though it appeared solid. She stumbled backward, twisting her ankle.
Feng Yin quickly sheathed his sword, stepped forward, and wrapped his arms around He Xi's slender waist.
The two stared into each other's eyes, with He Xi's emotions clearly more complex.
Feng Yin began to explain slowly, "Teacher He Xi, I'm not the kind of person who gets frustrated by failure.
I attacked from different angles around you, and while I couldn't hit you, it looked like you kept using void energy to tear space and reposition yourself.
But you may have forgotten, the void has a twisting nature. My current void abilities allow me to maintain a void rift for over half an hour.
So, when I attacked from your front again, what you saw wasn't my actual position.
And your footing has already been quite uneven!"
After finishing his explanation, Feng Yin squeezed He Xi's behind.
Knowing that this wasn't He Xi's real body, he couldn't miss the opportunity, given the incredibly realistic texture.
"You could have just explained! Don't take advantage of my clone!"
He Xi slowly walked down from the hillside, a satisfied smile on her face. She snapped her fingers, dismissing the clone.
Feng Yin grabbed at nothing, savoring the feeling, then straightened up and approached He Xi, "Teacher He Xi, you can perceive the sensations of your clone, so during battle, wouldn't you feel pain?"
"This is a special clone of mine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to teach you while fighting.
And it's not sharing sensations, it's perception. I can only feel the contact it experiences.
You little rascal, your hands aren't clean!"
With that, He Xi gently patted Feng Yin's back.
"Hahaha, I knew it was your clone, so I wasn't as cautious!"
He Xi glared at Feng Yin, then her lips curved into a smile, "I haven't seen enough of you! If it were my real body, you'd probably be even more brazen!"
"How could I, Teacher He Xi!"
"Alright, I'm very satisfied with your progress. Zhixin hasn't started teaching you Angel combat yet, and you've already learned so many ways. Not bad!"
He Xi kindly brushed off the grass from Feng Yin's armor, "The test is passed, now let's go celebrate your birthday! I'll accompany you!"
After clearing away the debris from Feng Yin's body, He Xi caressed his chest and took him through a wormhole to a bustling street.
Feng Yin looked at the endless lively streets, filled with food, entertainment, clothing, and the warmth of everyday life. It was completely different from the mysterious and imposing atmosphere of Angel Star.
"This... Is this still Angel Star?" Feng Yin looked at the vibrant scene and exclaimed.
"Angels, having evolved to their current state, actually don't need these superfluous things.
But they do provide Angels with emotional pleasure.
Research shows that after carrying out very dangerous missions, these things can help them quickly calm down and recover.
So Keisha allowed these streets to exist.
These streets were previously called Justice Street, but later everyone thought it was too serious, so it was renamed Light and Joy Street, meaning light and joy.
There are millions of Light and Joy Streets, scattered throughout various locations on Angel Star.
They contain food, clothing, entertainment, and other things from various civilizations in the known universe!"
"Wow! Such a great place, Teacher He Xi, why didn't you bring me here before?
I've been growing up with standard nutritional input, it's been so boring!" Feng Yin closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance, feeling refreshed.
"I forgot, I haven't been here in hundreds of years. If it wasn't for your birthday, I would have forgotten about this place.
And isn't standard nutritional input good? Otherwise, how could you have such a strong physique?"
He Xi looked at Feng Yin's physique with increasing fondness.
"That's true, but having these delicacies occasionally is still a good choice!" Feng Yin took a step forward, then retreated, "Hey, Teacher He Xi, let me hide in your domain first.
This street is so crowded, as the only man on Angel Star, wouldn't I be exposed if I walked out?"
He Xi smiled and nodded, "Don't you think this street only has merchants and no customers?"
Feng Yin looked up and realized that the lively sounds were indeed coming from the shops, but there wasn't a single customer in sight.
"These merchants are all intelligent replicas, their memories don't synchronize to the main system!
And today, on this Light and Joy Street, I've adjusted the commands, so no other Angels can enter, only the two of us!"
"Oh?" Feng Yin turned his head and looked at He Xi, "Teacher He Xi, you seem like a domineering CEO today! You've reserved the entire street for my birthday!"
He Xi's lips curved into a smile as she responded, "I'm the Skybase King. Don't be so audacious. It's just that on this Angel Star, if I'm not domineering, who will be?"
"Yes, yes, my domineering teacher!"
"Alright, stop being silly, go ahead and see what you want to eat!"
"Aren't you coming? Teacher He Xi, didn't you say you'd accompany me? Are you leaving again?"
"I said I'd accompany you, and I will. I'm just going to prepare some things, so are you! You're so big now, and you're still clinging to your teacher?" He Xi raised her hand and tapped Feng Yin's forehead.
It was supposed to be a scene of a teacher scolding a student, but due to the height difference, He Xi's gesture had a somewhat wife-like feel.
"Alright, I'll go see what's good to eat. If I find something, I'll order it and wait for you!" Feng Yin replied, then happily walked into Light and Joy Street, strolling leisurely.
Seeing Feng Yin walk away, He Xi crossed through a wormhole and arrived at a clothing store.
She took another step, and the Royal Armor on her body disappeared completely, revealing her perfectly sculpted, white jade body.
He Xi's jade feet tapped the ground as she walked around the store. Her slender fingers caressed white stockings, white lace underwear, and a thin gauze dress.
Then, she sat down on a stool with a graceful sway of her hips. Her jade feet were raised as she started to put on the white stockings, preparing the outfit Feng Yin had long desired...
