Chapter 140: Willing to Fall for You 24

Yue Yixian felt that her mind was in a bit of a mess and the pressure was somewhat overwhelming.

According to her three colleagues, her memories had apparently been sealed twice—once during the trip to the amusement park, and the second time yesterday evening on her way home.

The former was sealed by Lucifer, while the latter was done by Gabriel.

Gabriel met her gaze and offered an awkward, sheepish smile. "Calm down. Who told you not to tell us that you are Michael? I honestly thought you were Angel Yue."

"Oh, so you were trying to kill me back at the amusement park?" Yue Yixian asked.

The smile on Gabriel's face remained unchanged. "We won't kill you anymore, we won't. This time, Lucifer fancies you, so why bother about that little angel?"

With those words, she reached out, placed her hand gently against Yue Yixian's forehead, and tapped it lightly.

A tiny bubble emerged, its translucent surface shimmering with numerous flowing golden runes. Yue Yixian gave it a gentle poke with her finger, and the bubble instantly shattered.

With that, she felt a flood of new memories rushing into her mind.

Everything that had happened last night with Lilith the witch and Gabriel came back to her.

Yue Yixian looked at Gabriel and said, "I actually intended to tell you the truth yesterday, but you struck too fast. I didn't even get the chance to say it."

"A misunderstanding, everything was just a misunderstanding. So, what do we do now? The Father's mission for us was to bring Angel Yue's soul back to Heaven, but since Lucifer has taken a liking to you, he won't be luring Angel Yue's soul away anymore."

The implication was clear: the matter was practically resolved, so when were they returning to Heaven?

"Lucifer won't be luring her, but Anmila is dating Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan must be the Demon King Baal, right?"

"Baal? That fickle Demon King? I bet he just took a passing fancy to Angel Yue. Just think about his countless lovers down in Hell."

"True, there's no need to dwell on it."

The few of them discussed the situation.

The final exams officially commenced, lasting for three consecutive days. Once they concluded, all the students cheered for the upcoming vacation.

It was during this time that Anmila sought out Yue Yixian.

"Yixian," Anmila said, dropping her head despondently, "I'm so miserable."

Yue Yixian brought her home and poured her a glass of water.

After composing herself a little, Anmila began, "Last night, I saw Lin Xuan kissing a very pretty foreign woman."

A foreign woman—the image of Lilith immediately surfaced in Yue Yixian's mind. She asked, "Could there be some sort of misunderstanding?"

"No. Lin Xuan even told that woman that I was just someone he was playing with and there was no need to take it seriously." As Anmila spoke, large teardrops rolled down her face. "I just can't understand why he would do this."

Yue Yixian sighed, patted her shoulder, and said, "Mila, if this turns out to be true, you might as well break up with him. Scumbags are not worth our love."

"But I hurt so much," Anmila cried. "I was being entirely serious. From the time I was little, no one has ever treated me this well."

"..." Yue Yixian wasn't particularly skilled at comforting people, but fortunately, Anmila only wanted someone to vent to.

Two hours later, Anmila looked at Yue Yixian with a pair of swollen, red-rimmed eyes and announced, "I've decided. I'm dumping that scumbag and I'm never paying attention to him again."

Yue Yixian nodded. "That's for the best. Just find someone even more handsome."

"Except there are no boys in the whole campus more handsome than him, boo-hoo!!" At this thought, Anmila buried her face in her hands and started crying all over again.

Yue Yixian suggested, "Of course there are. Guo Junshuai and An Zihui both fit the description."

"Forget it. I've decided that handsome guys are all fickle flirts. Next time, I'll just look for someone ordinary," Anmila said, rubbing her eyes.

The next day, Yue Yixian was awakened by the ringing of her phone.

She opened her eyes and saw Anmila answering a call with a rather poor complexion, while Lin Xuan's voice could be vaguely heard from the other end.

"I don't feel like going out. You can find someone else to go with," Anmila said coldly.

Whatever Lin Xuan said on the other end seemed to soften Anmila's cold expression quite a bit. Finally, with a hint of hesitation, she said, "Fine, see you later then."

After hanging up, Anmila met Yue Yixian's gaze and muttered defensively, "I'm going to go talk to him face-to-face and clear things up."

Yue Yixian: "..."

I feel like I can already see how this ends.

That very evening, Yue Yixian received a phone call. Anmila's voice on the other end was brimming with excitement. "Xiaoxian, we've made up! It turns out that woman was just his ex-girlfriend, and they've already broken up. But her family is extremely influential, and the only reason Lin Xuan said those things was to protect me from getting hurt."

Yue Yixian fell silent for a moment before asking, "And you believed that?"

"Mm-hmm, I trust that he wouldn't lie to me."

Yue Yixian: "..."

She truly didn't know what to say.

Still, upon reflection, this was just how web novels used to go: *I want to torment you to death, but right when you're about to leave, you get swayed by a single simple word from me, decide to stay, and then the torment starts all over again...*

A few days later, Yue Yixian received another phone call from Anmila.

This time, Anmila's voice carried a hint of terror. "Xiaoxian, that woman is not human! What do I do??"

Yue Yixian furrowed her brows. "What happened?"

"I saw a pair of wings sprout from her back, and then she actually flew away..." Anmila was in a panic.

Yue Yixian stood up. "Where are you? I'll come find you."

"I..." Before Anmila could finish her sentence, a loud crash and the screech of brakes echoed from the other end of the phone.

"Mila??" Yue Yixian called out several times, but there was no response from Anmila. Vaguely, she heard words like "hit someone," "call emergency services," and "ambulance."

Yue Yixian hung up the phone and got ready to head out when her phone rang again. The call was from Gabriel. "Michael, the mission is over. Get ready to return to Heaven."

"What?"

"I just received a call from the relevant Eastern administrative department. Anmila died in a car accident. Raphael and Haniyah have already gone to escort her soul." Gabriel briefly explained.

Dead??? Yue Yixian was somewhat dazed by this sudden twist of events. Just like that, she died?

When she arrived at the designated assembly point, Gabriel and the others were already there.

Yue Yixian asked, "Where is Anmila?"

"Right here!" Raphael held out his hand, resting upon his palm was a small orb emitting a warm glow. "We need to step into the teleportation array to return to the Holy Mountain. Her soul is very fragile right now, and staying inside here is the safest place for her."

Yue Yixian nodded. "You guys go ahead first. I have some matters to attend to."

"No," Gabriel retorted directly. "I know you want to go back and find Lucifer. Michael, you must remember, love is strictly forbidden in Heaven, especially for you as the Seraphim. The punishment you face will be even more severe."

Yue Yixian pressed her lips into a thin line and was just about to speak when an anomaly occurred.

The teleportation array operating right before their eyes was abruptly shattered from above by a long sword plunging straight down from the sky.
