Chapter 48 Daughter of Heaven's Dao, Lingxi Law
After several days of intensive repairs, Tiancheng has finally returned to its former state.
The cracked ground was repaired, the gaps in the floating island were rebuilt, and even the potholes in the square were filled in smoothly.
After finishing his work, Li Yao stretched and was about to go home to rest when his communication device suddenly rang.
The next second, he heard a gentle laugh in his ear: "Xiao Yao, are you done with your work? Come over here for a bit."
Li Yao asked curiously, "Sister Lingxi, what's wrong?"
"Want some delicious food?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao nodded quickly.
The thought of Lingxi's cooking made him feel hungry.
"Then come quickly."
"immediately."
After hanging up the communication, Li Yao immediately flew towards Lingxi's residence.
Lingxi's residence is on a small floating island east of Tiancheng. It is not very big, but it is very cozy.
Most of the active angels in Amagi come from various civilizations in the universe, so they all have their own aesthetic preferences.
This can be seen from the houses they designed themselves.
Like Lingxi, she came from a pre-nuclear civilization similar to the Blue Star civilization.
Therefore, the style of her house decoration is more like the pastoral style of Lanxing Oriental.
In her yard, there were several unidentified flowering trees with pale pink blossoms, as well as a bunch of food plants.
Before long, Li Yao arrived at the entrance of his residence.
As soon as he landed, he smelled a rich aroma – the smell of stewed meat.
"You're here? Come in quickly!"
Lingxi stood at the door, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, and smiled at him.
Li Yao walked in with a smile on his face.
Although the angels' technology is highly advanced, and their kitchens are equipped with all kinds of advanced cooking appliances, Lingxi still retains the old habits she had when she was a mortal.
So when Li Yao went in, he saw a familiar scene.
In the kitchen, the clay pot on the stove was bubbling and steaming, and the steamer next to it was half open, with a dozen plump white dumplings lying lazily inside.
Inside the restaurant, several dishes were already laid out on the table: braised, stir-fried, and a large plate of fruit whose names I didn't know.
Li Yao's eyes widened in astonishment: "Sister Lingxi, this is too lavish!"
"You've been working so hard these past few days, let me make you something nourishing."
Lingxi took off her apron, sat down opposite her, ladled out a bowl of soup, and handed it to her: "Try it, this is something I just learned to make."
Li Yao took the bowl and took a sip.
"Delicious!"
He gave a thumbs up.
Lingxi smiled, her eyes full of doting: "If you like it, drink more. You've loved my cooking since you were little."
Li Yao chuckled, buried his head in his soup, and felt a warm sensation not only in his stomach but also in his heart.
This involuntarily reminded him of his childhood.
Although he had the mentality of an adult when he was young, he was too small physically, so he was somewhat affected and had some of the impetuousness and mischief of a child.
In addition, there was a certain troublesome guy who caused trouble every few days in Tiancheng, and he received a lot of physical education from Keisha. Anyway, he was thick-skinned and couldn't be broken.
Whenever he was scolded and looked humiliated, a group of angel sisters would always plead for him, and Lingxi was one of them.
Not only did Lingxi plead for him, but she also secretly gave him delicious food and clumsily comforted him when he was unhappy...
"What are you thinking about?"
Lingxi put a piece of meat in his bowl and said with a smile, "Don't just drink the soup, eat more vegetables."
"No, it's just that I think... Sister Lingxi, you're so kind."
Li Yao raised his head and looked at her intently.
Lingxi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and flicked his forehead, saying, "Eat quickly! The food is getting cold."
Li Yao grinned, obediently buried his head, and devoured his food.
The courtyard was filled with the swaying shadows of flowers, and the house was filled with fragrance.
The starlight from outside the window streamed in and fell on the dining table like a thin veil.
The two chatted back and forth, with Li Yao first recounting his experiences on Blue Star. Lingxi listened with great interest, occasionally interjecting with questions and laughing heartily.
As they chatted, the topic naturally turned to Lingxi.
"Me?"
Lingxi rested her chin on her hand, her gaze somewhat distant.
"The civilization I was born into was once invaded by space pirates."
Li Yao put down his chopsticks and listened attentively.
Lingxi said that when she had just come of age, her planet was targeted by a group of interstellar pirates.
That place was remote and not under the rule of angels; no one could stop the pirates when they came.
Many patriots joined the army to resist the invasion, and she was one of them.
However, the technological gap was too great, and so the entire civilization soon fell, with countless people falling on the battlefield, including her.
"As I collapsed, I wondered, is there really no hope for us?"
Lingxi smiled, her tone light and casual, but a hint of sadness still lingered in her voice.
"The moment I closed my eyes, Sister Leng appeared. She single-handedly wiped out the entire pirate fleet, then revived me and brought me back to Tiancheng."
Li Yao silently took a sip of soup.
Lingxi then recounted her first mission, during which she was surrounded by a group of reckless pirates who wanted to take her down with them. However, the main engine of their warship suddenly exploded inexplicably.
On another occasion, she inadvertently fell into a trap set by several demonic soldiers. Just when she thought she was doomed, a once-in-a-millennium stellar magnetic storm suddenly erupted.
The violent magnetic field ripples, carrying a torrent of interstellar plasma, forcibly swept her away from the danger, while the demons around the trap were unable to escape in time and were instantly crushed into ashes by the violent energy flow.
"Thinking back now," Lingxi said with a sigh, "it seems like I've always been pretty lucky."
Li Yao remained silent for a long while before finally managing to say, "Hmm... it's pretty good."
But inside, she was screaming: This isn't just good luck! Sis, this is clearly a weapon of causality!
He remembered that this was called the Spirit Stream Law, a unique feature of the Super God Universe.
Because in the original story, none of the people who touched Lingxi had a good ending.
The first time, in the great battle where Keisha fell, a high-level demon injured Lingxi, but was cut to ashes by Keisha in less than two episodes.
The second time, the male angel Kunpeng nailed Lingxi to the rock, and the next second Qilin blew his head off, and then Liu Chuang cleaved him into eight pieces.
The third time, on Tianren No. 7, Taotie King Shihao had just given Lingxi a genetic attack, but Ge Xiaolun dismantled it as scrap metal.
And then there are triangular prisms and the like.
This law even seems to be somewhat indiscriminate in distinguishing between friend and foe.
In the original novel's Battle of the North Star, Angel Leng only slightly angered Lingxi, but was then killed by Ruoning.
Similarly, Lingxi was the only angel to survive the Battle of the North Star.
In conclusion, Lingxi is a place where anyone who touches it dies.
Thinking about this, Li Yao suddenly felt that Lingxi and his quantum engine were a perfect match.
One is known for attracting outrageous things, and the other is known for making those who cross her suffer.
If she were really equipped with a quantum engine, wouldn't she be able to roam freely throughout the entire universe?
No wonder she's the darling of the Super God Universe.
Huh? Wait a minute!
Li Yao suddenly had a dangerous thought: would the Lingxi Law work on him?
