Chapter 179: The fate of a system

After reaching the academy, Yang Chen used the transformation technique to change his appearance and made his way towards his office.There are only two days before the start of the sports events. He still has to distribute the sports uniforms for the third-year students and the preparations were under Yao Mei's supervision.

Now that he managed to get Han Zhenya's help, he can relax a bit and focus on the colony owner's duties, which he had been neglecting compared to the other job duties.

For that, he needs Chen Miya to quickly learn how to design.

As for the construction laborers, he has the bandit slaves back in the village. Yao Mei had already told him that she would take care of the materials needed for construction.

Tomorrow's the weekend, and it's a day off for him and a holiday for the students.

He planned to ask Nyx to help him search the surrounding cities and villages for Ken Tao's clone.

Naturally, he won't be stupid enough to expect Han Zhenya's subordinates or the law enforcement officers to find Ken Tao's clone.

However, Yang Chen had a feeling that things were going too well for him.

He was confident Ken Tao must have considered the possibility that the enemy would find out about his clone.

Additionally, he couldn't understand why Ken Tao, ranked fourth among the higher officials, was given this mission.

He had thought about it multiple times. If the abyssal fiends' goal was to simply kidnap the academy students, there was no need for Ken Tao to be in charge of this mission.

Even Li Mo, who was ranked twentieth, proved to be a fearsome opponent. Just one or two low-ranking high officials like Li Mo should have been enough for this mission.

'And there is also that trump card which allowed Li Mo to increase his realm to spectral master.'

'Just what are they aiming for?' Inside the principal's office, he sat in his seat, pondering over the abyssal fiends' goal.

As much as he resented them, he had to admit they weren't some ragtag bunch like the bandits he subdued in the hidden crust village.

'Whatever they are planning, I will make sure to ruin it.' A cruel light flashed in his eyes as he recalled the scenes of Li Mo trying to kill Chen Miya and Xinran.

'Master, do you want me to kill them all?' Sensing his murderous intent, Nyx asked and waited for his reply.

She had been thinking about Zhu Shenyi and suddenly sensed his murderous intent soaring through the charts.

It didn't take long for her to figure out where his killing intent was directed.

'Who would win if you were to fight against the Abyssal Fiends all by yourself?' Yang Chen asked her a question instead of answering. He had no intention of asking for her help.

He didn't want Nyx to expose herself to the world because of him and attract the attention of other kingdoms.

Plus, he couldn't predict how the queens would react if Nyx were to make a move to destroy the Abyssal Fiends.

Nyx is stronger than all the queens individually, but she couldn't possibly defeat all of them at once.

'Giggle! What kind of question is that, master?'

'Of course, I would win,' Nyx replied without a hint of hesitation.

'I know, I know, but I will have to deal with them myself.'

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile. He already expected her to answer this way, but hearing it from her made him smile.

'Master, you're no fun,'

Nyx pouted in disappointment after he rejected her help, but his next words made her heart skip a beat.

'Hahaha, I'm just worried about you, that's all.'

Yang Chen laughed internally. There was no way he would put her in danger because of his selfish revenge.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

'...He is worried about me?' Nyx muttered in her mind, her face turning red in no time along with her racing heartbeat.

This was the first time someone said that to her and she couldn't control her emotions at all.

She covered her face with her hands and flew around the bedroom, flapping her wings in a fluster. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After getting no response from her, Yang Chen couldn't help but become curious about what she was doing.

With a smile creeping up his face, he used the harem seal and teleported into her bedroom.

"Why are you flying around like a bird?"

Before Nyx could react, Yang Chen asked while struggling to control his laughter after seeing her cute actions.

"Ah! M-master, you shouldn't come into others' rooms without permission!" Nyx immediately hid in the corner of her room after hearing his voice.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"Pfft… What are you doing in the corner? Come here," Yang Chen finally couldn't control himself and said as he laughed out loud.

Her actions were just too cute at this moment.

Flying around the room with a blushing face, hiding in the corner with her wings covering her face, he felt like he had found a new side of her.

"I won't! Unless you stop laughing," Nyx said as her body trembled.

Seeing that she was stalling for time while trying to calm her mood, Yang Chen grinned and said,

"That's enough. I will count to three."

"If you don't come here, I will spank your ass until it's full of my slap marks—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Chen found her standing in front of him. She looked in another direction, trying not to meet his eyes, and fidgeted with her fingers.

Nyx still couldn't get his words out of her mind.

"Sigh, why do you have to overreact to such a simple thing?" Seeing her like this, Yang Chen pulled her arms and raised her chin to meet her eyes.

"Just because you are stronger than everyone I know, it doesn't mean I won't worry about you, you fool," he said, looking at her with concern.

After thinking for a moment, he understood the reason behind her actions. Although she hadn't fully told him about how she had lived all these years, he could tell her life was filled with loneliness and solitude.

He was right.

She wanted to marry a strong man who would protect her and care for her, but that wish was impossible for her as she was the supreme being.

She couldn't possibly find a man stronger than her.

Truth be told, Nyx would eventually become the queen of the underworld even without Yang Chen's help. This was a fact that both she and Yang Chen knew very well.

Using her talent to bind herself to a person is something only a foolish person would do if her goal was revenge against the queens.

After escaping from the underworld castle, she had to cultivate and improve her strength while avoiding the pursuit of those who wanted to find her.

She cultivated for thousands of years to reach Ethereal Archon, and the price she had to pay was absolute solitude.

Moreover, As a fallen angel, Nyx's emotions were always on the darker side. During all those years, she had kind of doubts.

She wondered if her revenge was really worth it when her father never showed her a hint of affection, even since childhood.

Her mother abandoned her when the queens came to the castle, leaving her all alone. She hid her resentment and loneliness behind her aloof and eccentric personality, wandering through the underworld aimlessly.

There was even a time when she gave up cultivating because she found it all pointless, but as fate would have it, she didn't have a choice for that either.

Her strength was increasing automatically without her having to do anything because of her status as a supreme being. It was more like a curse than a blessing for her.

It would take her another five hundred years if she wanted to take revenge, but she was already at the end of her rope.

That was when she decided to bind herself to a person so she wouldn't feel so lonely, and she also got the crazy idea of finding a man who would conquer the queens.

Somewhere along the way, she decided to marry the man instead of giving him to the queens. After searching for a long time, she finally found Yang Chen, who piqued her interest at first sight.

"What are you thinking about, that you have such a deep look on your face?" Yang Chen's voice pulled her out of her thoughts, and the next second, Nyx showed a lovely smile before pulling him into a kiss.
