"No... don't pinch my face! And... where are your hands touching? Are you sick?"
"What's there to be afraid of? We're all girls, I just want to see if you really went from being a voluptuous goddess to a fragile young girl!"
As soon as Jiang Han and the others were allowed in, Ye Qingxue was the first to rush up and pinch the Angel Xingyao here and there.
She found it too magical.
The once perfectly figured goddess who envied everyone had turned into a delicate and beautiful girl similar in build to her after returning to being a mortal.
Although Angel Xingyao resisted, it didn't stop Ye Qingxue, also a girl, from being curious and frisking her.
It was normal for her to be curious about such things, as she hadn't lived to see the era of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms in her last life.
Taking advantage of Angel Xingyao being weaker than even a newly awakened Level 1 Awakened, Ye Qingxue treated Angel Xingyao like a rag doll and had her way with her.
Lin Tianming happened to overhear Ye Qingxue's thoughts; knowing she meant no harm, he didn't stop her.
But for Angel Xingyao, once the strongest combat power in the Genetic God Country, to be physically checked so unreservedly by Ye Qingxue, a fellow girl, in front of so many people...
She was truly mortified.
When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Helpless, now even if she was angry, she had no power to resist and could only let Ye Qingxue manipulate her.
She also blamed Lin Tianming for this grudge and swore to settle the score with him once she recovered!
Unfortunately, Lin Tianming couldn't overhear the thoughts of this Angel Xingyao.
Otherwise, he would definitely cry foul.
Why should Ye Qingxue's mischief be blamed on him!
After finishing her antics, Ye Qingxue let go of Angel Xingyao and excitedly ran to Lin Tianming, then threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Tianming, I want to undergo Genetic Ascension too!"
Lin Tianming was already used to Ye Qingxue always clinging to him like this.
He smiled and patted Ye Qingxue's little head: "Why do you suddenly want to undergo Genetic Ascension?"
Lin Tianming's question was also the question on everyone's mind, including Jiang Han.
Ye Qingxue and her love-struck brain, what was she thinking now?
"I want to have the same top-tier figure like Teacher Jiang Han, Teacher Tianshui, Senior Sister Yanran, and Senior Sister Yu Fei!
You saw it too, Brother Tianming, even when this Angel Xingyao was a mortal, she had a figure similar to mine, and after Genetic Ascension, she became so voluptuous. I want to grow bigger too!"
Upon hearing Ye Qingxue say this, Jiang Han and the others were somewhat embarrassed.
Only she could say such a thing!
Ye Qingxue's jumping thoughts also made Lin Tianming somewhat bemused.
"You're just not developed yet, wait a few years and you'll definitely have the top-tier goddess figure too, Qingxue."
"I can't wait that long, Brother Tianming!"
Ye Qingxue stuck out her tongue at Lin Tianming, just joking around.
If she really underwent Genetic Ascension, she still preferred to follow her current path as a Superpower Awakened.
Lin Tianming gently stroked her cheek: "Alright, Qingxue, stop fooling around, we have serious matters to attend to."
Ye Qingxue didn't continue clinging to Lin Tianming, and got up on her own.
After dealing with the glue-like Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming turned his attention back to Angel Xingyao.
"We really aren't enemies, calm down a bit now. If, after listening to me, you still think I'm a deceitful demon, then I have nothing to say, okay?"
"I'm already in your hands, just say whatever you want to say!"
Angel Xingyao thought about how she was just casually played with by Ye Qingxue and felt angry.
But considering her current state, she could only passively accept it.
Lin Tianming could tell that Angel Xingyao was unconvinced.
However, that was okay, he believed that if he sat down and talked with her slowly, she definitely wouldn't view him as an enemy anymore.
Lin Tianming still hoped to clear up misunderstandings and make friends out of enemies with the Angel Xingyao, who had saved his life several times and was closely related to Fairy Qing Lei.
If he could gain the support of Angel Xingyao, he would be one step closer to his goal of allying with the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms to confront the Deceit God World.
Lin Tianming first demonstrated to Angel Xingyao his ability to separate himself from the Deceit God Power without affecting his Level.
He then explained to Angel Xingyao how he had come into contact with the Deceitful God Aura and his numerous confrontations against various Deceit Gods.
This included the several times that Angel Xingyao had saved him.
He also clarified that he had purposely annoyed her to prompt her to decisively expel the Deceit God by asking for her help repeatedly.
After explaining all this, Lin Tianming added, "Think about it, if I really were a nefarious Deceit God, would I keep asking you to expel other Deceit Gods every time?"
Angel Xingyao thought over what Lin Tianming had said and found his points somewhat reasonable.
However, she still asked, "Even if these matters seem suspicious, how do you explain your involvement in causing Fairy Qing Lei's fall from grace?"
"It's a misunderstanding, Angel Sister! It really has nothing to do with me that Fairy Sister Qing Lei came into contact with the Deceitful God Aura!"
Lin Tianming strongly voiced his defense.
Fairy Qing Lei timely took over the conversation, sharing her experience of how she came into contact with the Deceitful God Aura.
Upon learning the true reason behind Fairy Qing Lei's contact with the Deceitful God Aura, Angel Xingyao fell into a brief silence.
Seizing the moment, Lin Tianming shared his experiences in the former Holy Lands of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms.
To prove his support not only from Fairy Qing Lei but also from the Mother of Destiny and Wanling Divine Lady, he displayed their four fragments of hope-filled faces.
Stunned, Angel Xingyao looked at the last vestiges of hope on the faces of the Mother of Destiny and Wanling Divine Lady and was somewhat persuaded.
"To still leave behind a quarter of a face with traces of faint hope after life ceased, without any contamination by the Deceitful God Aura..."
Fairy Qing Lei continued, "This dear youth possessing the Three Great Ascension Powers; I too saw hope in him and chose to believe and follow him, wishing to see if he can truly represent our Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms to achieve true Ascension and completely break free from the corruption of the Deceitful God Aura!"
Now, Angel Xingyao fully believed in Lin Tianming.
Because the last uncorrupted quarter of the faces of the Mother of Destiny and Wanling Divine Lady was the best proof.
Perhaps this youth, who possesses the Three Great Ascension Powers... really could take that final step and witness true Ascension!
But even if Lin Tianming represented hope, Angel Xingyao herself would not yield to the Deceit Gods.
She also wanted to take that final step on her own!
Now...
She wanted to see Fairy Qing Lei's elder sister.
Hesitating, Angel Xingyao asked, "Can you take me to see your sister?"
Fairy Qing Lei nodded and then brought the fallen mortal Angel Xingyao to her sister's remains.
Lin Tianming also followed.
Upon arriving, he saw Angel Xingyao weeping over the body of Fairy Qing Lei's sister.
The corruption on Fairy Qing Lei's sister's body was severe. To prevent the mortal state Angel Xingyao from being affected, he timely enhanced the protection of Primordial Chaos Power around Angel Xingyao.
The World Tree Sanctuary had turned into a ghostly sight...
An old friend and comrade-in-arms preferred death over falling into a Deceit God...
All of this made Angel Xingyao's emotions exceedingly fragile at the moment.
Weeping profusely for quite some time, Angel Xingyao gradually recovered.
Accompanied by Fairy Qing Lei, she turned around and walked back toward Lin Tianming.
Under Lin Tianming's somewhat astonished gaze, Angel Xingyao spoke up, "I believe Fairy Qing Lei, Mother of Destiny, and Wanling Divine Lady wouldn't misjudge a person.
I initially decided to die rather than comply, but since you can temporarily prevent Fairy Qing Lei from fully turning into a Deceit God and also stay undead, I will trust you this time. Can you help me suppress this power?"
Hearing these words from Angel Xingyao, Lin Tianming knew he had finally gained her trust.
He readily agreed to Angel Xingyao's request.
"Of course, I can!"
