She knew she didn't know this man at all.
But at this moment, she had no one to rely on anymore.
This embrace was the last warmth she could feel.
Lin Ci felt the warmth of the body in his arms, especially the two soft mounds of flesh directly against his chest.
And those arms that were tightly hugging her.
Lin Ci didn't say anything.
He simply reached out his hand.
He gently stroked her pale golden hair, one stroke at a time.
Lin Ci realized that there was no movement in his arms.
He looked down.
It turned out that Keisha had cried for so long that she had exhausted all her strength.
She was fast asleep, her face streaked with tears.
Chapter 100 A Plea to the Lord of All Gods to Save Our Angel Nebula
The room was pristine white, and the light was so soft it seemed unreal.
Keisha slowly opened her heavy eyelids.
The tear stains on her face had dried, leaving only a faint feeling of tightness.
"Your Highness, you are awake."
A surprised voice rang out from beside the bed; it was Ruoning.
Keisha supported herself on the soft mattress and slowly sat up straight.
The fragments of memory began to be pieced together again.
Hua Ye's face was contorted and twisted.
The image of the father lying in a pool of blood.
And... that man who descended like a god.
Was it just a nightmare that felt too real?
Ruoning seemed to notice her confusion and was about to explain something.
The door to the room was pushed open.
A tall, elegant, and handsome figure walked in from outside the door.
The moment Keisha saw the man, her heart skipped a beat.
She knew it wasn't a dream.
Lin Ci walked slowly to the bedside with unhurried steps.
His voice was calm, yet it carried a strange, soothing power.
Ruoning immediately stood up and respectfully performed an impeccable angelic salute to Lin Ci.
"The Great Lord of All Gods".
Lin Ci simply nodded slightly.
He actually had no liking for Ruoning; in fact, one could say he disliked her.
In the original novel, this woman sided with the scoundrel Hua Ye.
Although he respected Keisha, he still committed many despicable acts after Keisha's death.
She was only of average appearance; in the angelic civilization where beauties abound, she would be nothing more than a passerby.
However, she hasn't betrayed us yet; as the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you.
Lin Ci casually waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ruoning bowed again and respectfully left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
For a moment, only Lin Ci and Keisha remained in the room.
The atmosphere was subtly quiet.
"Your father has already been buried."
Lin Ci was the first to break the silence.
"I heard from your servant Ruoning that he was buried on your Holman family's ancestral land."
Upon hearing this, Keisha's eyes instantly reddened again, and the tears she had just stopped welled up once more.
"Thank you……"
Her voice was choked with emotion.
Even now, she doesn't even know the man's name, let alone why he saved her.
But he did save himself, and even helped his father return to his roots.
This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Keisha took a deep breath, threw off the silk quilt, and tried to get out of bed to bow and thank Lin Ci.
But the moment the blanket was pulled back, she froze completely.
She discovered that her clothes had been changed at some point.
At this moment, she was only wearing a thin, light gauze nightgown.
Through the semi-transparent fabric, you could even vaguely see the outline of your underwear, and...
Keisha's cheeks flushed instantly, like a fiery sunset.
She hurriedly pulled the blanket back over her head, leaving only her bright red head exposed.
She recalled the last moment before she lost consciousness, when she leaned helplessly against Lin Ci's broad chest.
Could it be... that my clothes are his...?
Looking at her startled, deer-like expression, Lin Ci couldn't help but smile slightly.
He seemed to see right through Keisha's little scheme.
"Don't worry, it was all done by your servant Ruoning. I didn't do anything to you."
He explained with a light laugh.
Upon hearing this, Keisha's blush did not subside; instead, it intensified, spreading all the way to her snow-white neck.
He saved me, and I'm still making assumptions about him in my mind.
I'm not even human!
But then I thought, that person was my savior.
If I were to refrain from formally expressing my gratitude because of my girlish shyness, I would not do so.
That was a disgrace to the Holman family!
Keisha's eyes hardened instantly.
She suddenly threw off the covers.
Bare, smooth, white feet stepped onto the cold floor.
He walked quickly to Lin Ci and bowed deeply.
"Thank you so much, senior. I, Keisha, will never forget your life-saving grace."
Lin Ci looked at her almost ninety-degree bow and her body trembling slightly from the movement, and chuckled softly.
"Don't call me senior, my name is Lin Ci."
He paused and added.
"The Lord of All Gods, Lin Ci."
Lord of all gods…
Upon hearing this name, Keisha quickly searched her mind for all the civilizations she knew.
There is no such title.
She straightened up, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Revered Lord of All Gods, may I ask which star system your civilization comes from?"
As soon as she said it, she felt it was a bit presumptuous and quickly added.
"I meant no harm, I was just... just curious..."
Lin Ci sized up the future angel queen before him.
Her current naiveté contrasts sharply with her future majesty.
He thought about it and decided to give her a sophisticated answer.
"It doesn't belong to any civilization."
He looked directly into Keisha's eyes and spoke, word by word.
"I am the master of the entire universe."
Such arrogant words, spoken by him, carried with an air of self-assured calm.
Keisha didn't think Lin Ci was crazy.
On the contrary, this man possessed an unfathomable aura.
It made her unconsciously believe that he might actually have the right to say those words.
How powerful must the civilization be to represent someone who can utter such arrogant words?
A faint flame of hope ignited in Keisha's heart.
