Huh? What do you mean your mother is one of the seven deadly sins?!

Liu Ruyan did not hesitate at all; her movements were as fast as a ghost, without even making a sound.

She appeared instantly behind the angel, her fair hand seemingly lightly pressing down on the back of the angel's neck.

puff!

A muffled thud.

The angel didn't even utter a sound. Its body went limp and it collapsed forward. The faint holy light on its body was instantly extinguished, and the wings on its back drooped limply.

Lin Xia stared in disbelief, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Is that all?

Mom, you're so... so efficient!

It's like going to a market and grabbing a chicken!

What nearly made his eyes pop out was that Liu Ruyan bent down with remarkable ease, grabbed the angel's ankle, and, as if carrying a sack, effortlessly hoisted the angel, who was a head taller than her, onto her slender shoulders!

The movements were fluid and skillful, as if they had been practiced hundreds of times.

"Done, job done."

Liu Ruyan patted the leg of the cargo on her shoulder, turned around and raised an eyebrow at Lin Xia, who was still in a petrified state.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go home."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan waved her other hand again, and the familiar crimson spatial door instantly opened in front of the two of them.

Lin Xia watched as her mother carried an unconscious angel.

Completely stunned and dazed, he was pulled by his mother and stepped into the spatial portal.

The familiar scent of the succubus castle, carrying a faint fragrance and the smell of sulfur, wafted over. Lin Xia watched as her mother casually placed the spoils from her shoulder onto a luxurious soft couch. The unconscious angel's long golden hair was spread out, and her pale face appeared particularly fragile in the dim light of the castle.

"mom……"

Lin Xia finally found her voice, pointing at the angel on the soft couch, her voice hoarse.

"What...what is this for?"

Liu Ruyan clapped her hands, as if brushing away non-existent dust, her blood-red eyes turning to Lin Xia, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"What's it for?"

She spoke of it casually, as if it were just an ordinary, everyday matter.

"Of course it's a training manual for you, you silly son."

"Teaching...the textbook?!"

Lin Xia was completely bewildered.

Using...using angels to cultivate?!

Liu Ruyan walked to Lin Xia's side and gently tapped his brow with her fingertip. A cool sensation flowed in, instantly clearing his somewhat chaotic thoughts caused by shock.

Liu Ruyan's voice carried a persuasive quality.

"You've grasped the basics and tasted success last night, but that's just the most fundamental absorption!"

"The power of desire arises from the human heart, and also from conflict and confrontation."

Liu Ruyan glanced at the unconscious angel on the soft couch, her eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

"For you, angels are the perfect nourishment to temper your desires and hone your spirit and will."

"All you have to do is use the Seven Deadly Sins: Desire chapter, which you've mastered, to seduce an angel with unwavering faith and make her fall in love with you!"

"If you can succeed, then your cultivation of the Desire Chapter will be considered a minor achievement!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia's eyes practically lit up with question marks.

This cultivation method is way too bizarre!

Lin Xia scratched her head, but still couldn't help asking.

"Mom, are you sure... this angel hasn't been corrupted by any evil god?"

Lin Xia's mind instantly flashed through a bunch of indescribable creatures with eyes and wings from cult novels.

Liu Ruyan was amused by his imaginative idea, and her red lips curved into a smile.

"Don't worry, this is just a newborn angel, its wings haven't even fully grown yet. Angels are a race that is naturally resistant to evil forces, so they are not easily corrupted."

Liu Ruyan paused, a hint of smugness in her blood-red eyes!

"This is a newbie gift pack that your mom has been keeping an eye on for a long time, specially saved for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His eyes darted around, and another crucial question came to mind.

"Mom, has this world... ever swallowed up a modern civilized world like Earth before?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head decisively.

"no."

"real?!"

Lin Xia's eyes lit up immediately, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Have they never been exposed to modern civilization?

That means... countless scenes from idol dramas and dating guides instantly popped into his mind.

Trying to seduce a pure angel using the tricks from Earth?

Perhaps the information gap can have some surprising effects?

When Liu Ruyan saw the sudden gleam in her son's eyes and the uncontrollable upward curve of his lips, she immediately understood his little scheme.

She gave a light hum, with a hint of teasing from someone who's been there.

"No matter what method you use—whether it's deception, trickery, or sweet talk—as long as you make her fall for you, develop desire for you, even if it's just a little curiosity or affection, you've successfully entered the field!"

"clear!"

Lin Xia's confidence immediately soared, and she even felt a little eager to try.

How could a steadfast and holy angel be allowed to fall?

Oh no, it's the arising of worldly desires?

This challenge is so exciting!

Seeing her son's spirited appearance, Liu Ruyan's smile deepened, but she didn't say anything more.

She gracefully raised her hand and pointed towards the area shrouded in pure holy light in front of her.

hum!

An invisible, vast, abyss-like power descended instantly.

The holy light seemed to ripple violently on the surface of water as if a pebble had been thrown in. Then, as if it were bound by an invisible shackle, although the light remained, the immense and sacred pressure and vitality it contained receded and solidified as quickly as the tide.

The ethereal hymns that had been faintly emanating from the light field abruptly ceased, leaving only deathly silence.

"alright."

Liu Ruyan withdrew her hand, her tone as relaxed as if she had just turned off a noisy radio.

"Her power is temporarily sealed; she's just a woman with an angelic exterior. Go ahead, Xia, communicate with her however you like; it's perfectly safe."

Liu Ruyan patted Lin Xia on the shoulder, her bloodshot eyes filled with deep expectation.

"If you want to save Earth, if you want to protect the people you care about in the face of other future disasters in the secret realms, and even... find your missing father and sister, power is the only way."

"Only when you are strong enough will you be qualified to seek the truth and change your destiny."

Liu Ruyan's words were soft, yet they struck Lin Xia's heart like a heavy hammer.

The relaxed atmosphere dissipated, and a heavy sense of responsibility pressed down once again.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing those romantic thoughts, and her eyes regained their firmness.

"I understand, Mom."

Lin Xia nodded and went to the unconscious angel.

She looked much smaller than Lin Xia had imagined, with a slender figure, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old.

Her long, smooth, light golden hair, like flowing sunlight, cascaded down, almost covering most of her body.

Her skin was so white it was almost translucent, and it shimmered with a faint pearly luster under the holy light.

She was wearing a very simple, unadorned pure white gauze dress, and her bare feet were dazzlingly white.

What's striking is the folded wings on her back.

It wasn't the enormous, snow-white thing you might imagine, but rather two small pairs of wings covered in soft, fine down.

Its main wings are pure white, while the inner wings near its body are a tender yellow like new shoots, with the feathers at the edges being somewhat fluffy and curled.
