Emile's gaze swept over the shocked expressions on the angels' faces. She flicked her robe and walked towards the church, "Alright, back to class, everyone!"
Upon hearing this, the other angels shot Millicent a venomous look before heading into the church.
Millicent lowered her head, her eyes filled with unconcealed shock, "Little baby, how do you know those magic formations?"
Hearing the term "little baby," Ming Li was already numb. "I learned them."
"Wow! Little baby is so amazing!"
Ming Li, "..." Heh.
(￣_,￣)
Upon entering the classroom, Millicent brought Ming Li to the last row.
Not long after, a few more angels gradually walked in.
On the podium, Teacher Emile, seeing that everyone had arrived, had the angels count off and then began the lesson...
Millicent placed Ming Li aside and took out her small notebook to take diligent notes.
After class, Millicent took Ming Li to find the High Priest.
"High Priest, please bestow a name upon my angel egg."
The High Priest, clad in a white and gold angel robe with three pairs of wings, looked at Millicent with benevolent eyes. She then placed her hand on the egg in Millicent's small basket. After a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked down at the angel egg beneath her hand, asking with confusion, "Hmm? Your angel egg..."
Hearing the High Priest's words, Millicent looked at her nervously and asked, "High Priest, what's wrong with my angel egg?"
The High Priest's expression stiffened, and she said, "I cannot see through its past or future." Strange.
Millicent breathed a sigh of relief, thinking something had gone wrong.
After a while, the High Priest withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Su Li, this is the name bestowed upon this little one."
Hearing this.
Millicent happily exclaimed, "Thank you, High Priest, for the name!"
The High Priest nodded, "You may return."
Watching the little angel depart, a white-gold light flashed in the High Priest's eyes. The next second, she shook her head, and a faint sigh drifted into the air...
Upon returning, Millicent placed Ming Li in her soft little nest and said happily, "Little baby, your name is Su Li from now on!"
Ming Li nodded expressionlessly and remained silent.
The next day, Millicent did not take Ming Li out. When she returned in the afternoon, Ming Li saw her lying on the bed, covered in injuries.
"What happened to you?"
Suddenly hearing Ming Li's voice, Millicent was startled. After regaining her senses, she quickly said, "I'm fine. Today was combat practice class, and I wasn't good at the magic formations. My opponent was too strong, so... It's okay! I'll work hard!"
As she spoke, Millicent took out her notebook and began practicing the magic formations.
-------------------------------------
Time flew by, and two months passed in a blink.
"Crack—"
It was nighttime.
In Millicent's room, a thin crack appeared on Ming Li's white eggshell.
Not long after, the crack grew larger.
A white light emerged from the eggshell.
Finally, the eggshell split directly into two halves...
The sound of the eggshell falling to the ground woke Millicent on the bed.
She looked over and saw that in the moonlight, in the little nest where the angel egg had been, stood a little girl with an ice-cold demeanor.
"Are... are you Little Baby?"
Hearing this, Ming Li nodded numbly.
