Gao Xuan held Helen, who was as delicate as warm jade, with a gentle smile on his face, but he was a bit confused inside.

The target he wanted to win over just threw herself into his arms like this. What's the situation?

Even though Helen has the name of Sea Emperor, that's something that would happen at least seventy or eighty years later.

The young Helen was obviously still a novice. Although she acted particularly bold and indulgent, her body and mind were clearly still a bit tense, obviously not ready yet.

Now was clearly not the right time to ask these questions, and Gao Xuan didn't want to be a spiritual mentor either.

Helen is still very young, but she's already nineteen. Her basic worldview is formed, and she understands all sorts of principles.

She doesn't lack mentors; what she lacks is life experience.

Only by going through it herself can she judge right from wrong and know what to do.

"Alright, let me be your first teacher in life for physical and emotional matters. The practical kind, no theory..."

Gao Xuan muttered to himself and exerted his Sword Qi to shut the medical room door with a bang.

If the onlookers hadn't reacted quickly, their faces would have been smashed flat.

The closing of the door also represented Gao Xuan's attitude. You've seen enough, now beat it.

Everyone looked longingly at the medical room's alloy door, their eyes glowing, wishing they had x-ray vision to see what happened next.

What a joke, with Gao Xuan's powerful spiritual power and super perception, no one could spy on him.

This kind of adult content isn't available even for pay.

Gao Xuan actually didn't do much, just tasted the flavor of Helen's lipstick.

Helen felt a bit shy; she thought it was too fast and had a tiny bit of regret.

In fact, she didn't know anything about Gao Xuan.

Fortunately, Gao Xuan didn't do anything further, nor did he ask why she suddenly came over. He just held her like an old lover, intimate, gentle, and natural.

This made Helen feel much better. If Gao Xuan had nagged incessantly, she would have thought herself very foolish and seen Gao Xuan as mundane and boring.

Gao Xuan suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Helen said absentmindedly, "Whatever."

She was still very unsettled and didn't know what to do, really not in the mood for eating.

"Okay, wait a moment, she'll be done soon."

Gao Xuan sat down beside Helen, "Want to play a couple of rounds of War God Glory? You know how to play, right?"

"Sure."

Of course, Helen knew how to play; it's one of her few means of entertainment. Although she didn't have a virtual landing pod, her personal light computer could still manage to play it.

Although the two were quite unfamiliar and had nothing to say to each other, playing a game felt less awkward.

Helen added Gao Xuan as a friend, logged into Battle Net, and teamed up with him.

Helen naturally chose a mage position, while Gao Xuan didn't care much since they were just playing casually. He didn't dare bring out his leaderboard-first account to play online with Helen.

His Sword God single hero was first on the leaderboard for over a month now. No matter how busy, he would go up and play a couple of rounds to keep his points.

If he was really out of time, he'd have Nuwa play for him. This account was extremely, extremely important to him. It must not be linked to him in any way, not even a hint of a connection.

With Glory Company's capabilities, it would be too easy for them to investigate Battle Net's data.

Gao Xuan couldn't choose the assassin, nor did he get the shooter. He had to select a support role.

But his awareness was far superior to everyone's understanding of the game; his skills and reactions were even stronger. Although he didn't actively use the Six-winged Celestial Cicada plug-in, his judgment was just too good.

Under Gao Xuan's support and guidance, Helen entered a frenzy mode, quickly taking the economic lead, unstoppable. She crushed the opponents completely.

The second round, third round, fourth round...

Helen had too much fun; this was the happiest time she'd ever played Glory.

The mechanism of Glory is actually very balanced; people's reaction speed is limited. The game is mainly about understanding rather than who reacts faster.

Experts gain an advantage because their thinking and reactions are quicker and more composed. But if an ordinary player is particularly skilled, they can compete with the experts.

This is the fun of the game.

"Awesome!"

"This is comfortable."

"Gao Xuan, amazing..."

"Baby, save me, hahaha, nice!"

Helen yelled and laughed, extremely happy. Before she knew it, she had gotten much closer to Gao Xuan and also relaxed.

Yun Qingshang walked out from the medical pod and saw Helen with a radiant face, her eyes sparkling, sometimes even hugging Gao Xuan tightly for a kiss.

Yun Qingshang pursed her lips; she didn't know the process but understood that Gao Xuan had likely swayed another young girl.

However, Helen was truly beautiful, radiantly stunning. She seemed to be of mixed descent, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and elegant yet delicate facial features, with smooth skin.

Her figure was tall and slender, yet delicate and feminine, not the tall and sturdy frame typical of westerners.

Yun Qingshang had seen many beauties around Gao Xuan; in terms of looks, Helen was undoubtedly the top. The noble and elegant aura she had was incomparable to the likes of Xiao Ting and Xiao Wan.

As for Wei Zhenzhen, compared to Helen, she was just a country girl.

But this wasn't the most crucial point; the most crucial was that Gao Xuan seemed to treat Helen differently.

Others might not notice, but Yun Qingshang was too familiar with Gao Xuan. She could sense even the slightest change in his emotions.

Even Bai Yutang didn't hold such a place in Gao Xuan's heart.

Yun Qingshang was slightly worried; Helen might threaten her position.

"What are you thinking about, looking so profound?"

Gao Xuan rubbed Yun Qingshang's head, "It's all good now. Let's go home."

Yun Qingshang nodded, "No problem now."

Beo's sword had injured her severely, but to her, it wasn't a big deal.

Crimson Heart tormented her every day, and she had gotten used to the pain. The physical damage was hardly felt.

On the other hand, the daily pain stimulation from Crimson Heart kept pushing her body's potential.

The path of Dragon Transformation, in the early stages, is most crucial for developing physical potential.

Beo's heavy blow gave her some insight and she glimpsed the path to advancing to Silver.

If Helen hadn't appeared, she would have been in a slightly better mood.

Fortunately, Gao Xuan hasn't changed, which made her heart settle down.

Helen, who was happily playing games, didn't notice these details.

Gao Xuan was deep, Yun Qingshang was aloof, and the emotional changes between the two were exceptionally subtle. Helen was not good at observing others' emotions.

People always looked at her mood, so she didn't need to master this skill.

"We're not done yet..."

Helen didn't want to leave, but Gao Xuan forcibly pulled her up, "Let's go, let's go."

"Oh no, we'll get points deducted."

"It's okay, I'll cover for you..."

Gao Xuan coaxed and deceived Helen into following him, Yun Qingshang falling a step behind, silently trailing the two of them.

The three of them left the lounge, everyone else had long since left. Including the audience, who had also vacated early.

Helen looked at the starry sky on the dome and sighed, "All fake, this starry sky is really boring."

Gao Xuan said while pulling Helen, "You'll get used to it."

Helen fell silent; she was now a bit scared. She was used to Sea Emperor Star, and thinking about residing permanently on such a remote place as Taurus made her feel uncomfortable.

Gao Xuan understood Helen, and he comforted her, "You're only losing family, friends, classmates, money, honor, gourmet food, and fine clothes, but you've gained me."

"Haha..."

Helen initially felt a bit sour, but she involuntarily laughed.

Gao Xuan said seriously, "You landed a big bargain, I wouldn't trade myself for the whole cosmos!"

Helen hugged Gao Xuan's neck and coquettishly laughed, "I just love your shamelessness..."

Gao Xuan hugged Helen tighter, "It's too late to regret now, you're mine."

The two were joking when Minos suddenly jumped out from the side blocking their way, "Helen?"

Minos looked at the smiling Helen, wanting to persuade her, but didn't know what to say.

Yet he couldn't just let Helen truly leave with Gao Xuan.

He thought for a moment and said, "Helen, you can't do this."

Helen shot a displeased glance at Minos, "You're telling me what to do?"

"That's not what I mean. I mean this is a bit too hasty. Think it over. It's not too late to decide when you return to Sea Emperor Star."

Minos, embarrassed by Helen's reproach, reiterated, "You should also consult your family."

Minos understood Helen's family situation; with her parents' status, even top noble families on Sea Emperor Star looked down on them.

In their view, only a child of the Golden Bloodline was qualified to marry Helen.

Hearing Minos mention her parents, Helen completely lost interest in the conversation.

Helen pulled Gao Xuan along, saying, "Let's go."

Minos, ignored by Helen, watched her walk away with Gao Xuan, feeling a pain as if stabbed by a sword, indescribable.

Rhea, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not right, and could only step in to stop Helen.

But before she could speak, Helen directly said, "My mind is made up. Teacher, there's no need to persuade."

Rhea knew Helen's personality had a particularly stubborn side, and could only sigh, "How am I supposed to explain to your parents!"

"This is my business, teacher doesn't need to explain anything."

Helen bowed deeply to Rhea, she felt some guilt towards her, but only to that extent.

Rhea contemplated for a moment and said to Helen, "Can I have a private chat with Gao Xuan?"

Helen was a bit worried but out of respect for Rhea, she stepped aside a few paces, giving Rhea and Gao Xuan space to talk alone.

Rhea sternly said to Gao Xuan, "Do you know about Helen's family background?"

"I know, Golden Bloodline."

Of course, Gao Xuan knew of Helen's background; their family line claimed the Golden Bloodline lineage, descending from the legendary Zeus.

Three thousand years ago, Zeus and eleven mighty figures led humanity away from their home planet, embarking on their galactic journey.

The current Alliance was founded entirely on the groundwork laid by those twelve figures.

The heritage of those twelve figures was termed the highest level Golden Bloodline.

After three thousand years of inheritance, the Golden Bloodline had long branched out, spread throughout the Alliance.

However, side branches were not qualified to be called the Golden Bloodline.

Hercules types, for example, could count as direct lineage. Barely qualifying as Golden Bloodline, their identity and status indeed were above others.

Helen's strength came from her Golden Bloodline potential awakening.

Hercules, with many children, valued Helen precisely for this reason.

Gao Xuan was fully aware of this.

However, the so-called Golden Bloodline had largely devolved, having witnessed all kinds of their disgraces.

He had no respect for the Golden Bloodline. In this cosmos, there were fewer than five humans truly worthy of his respect.

Aside from that, the others were but ordinary fellows.

Rhea nodded, the Golden Bloodline renowned far and wide, and Helen exceptionally famous; it wasn't surprising that Gao Xuan knew her background.

She softly said, "Your future is vast. But for now, you're not qualified to be with Helen."

Gao Xuan smiled without speaking, disdaining to refute anything.

Rhea could understand Gao Xuan; the young genius, overflowing with talent, high-minded ambition, came naturally.

She said, "You're too young to know just how powerful Hercules is. Wait until you become a Golden Sword Saint, then pursue Helen."

"Thank you for the reminder, goodbye."

Gao Xuan had no interest in continuing the conversation, finding Rhea's concerns mundane and dull.

Rhea called out to Gao Xuan's back, "Gao Xuan, don't be reckless. Think of your family and friends. Even the Xiao Family cannot bear Hercules's wrath!"

Helen's face also showed concern; this was exactly her fear.

Gao Xuan draped an arm over Helen's shoulder, walking out while turning to Rhea, saying, "No one can take Helen away from my side. No one."

He emphasized again, "This is love!"
