Xie Qing sighed heavily when he saw the situation he found himself in. He slept in bed, and in the morning he found a beautiful girl beside him.
That girl, of course, was Aria. And now she was looking at him with hateful eyes.
"Hear me, in honor of my protection - I have done nothing." Xie Qing raised his hand in surrender, but accidentally touched Aria's chest.
"Damn..." Seeing the look on her face, Xie Qing silently cursed. A few seconds later, there was a loud explosion.
You could tell it was an explosive morning for Xie Qing.
***
There were three people flying on a golden cloud. They were Xie Qing, Aria, and Alfred, respectively.
Xie Qing felt a gust of wind on his face and looked around admiringly. He looked like a schoolboy on his first field trip.
Aria looked at Xie Qing coldly, but he ignored her. Angel sighed.
"And how did I manage to become the wife of this weirdo...?"
Aria felt annoyed every time she remembered Seraphim's order. She, a proud fighting girl, was sent to become the wife of some weakling!
Naturally, the angel's pride was hurt. However, even the arrogant Aria had to admit that Xie Qing was unusual.
In addition to his looks, Xie Qing was talented and could already resist Aria's light magic. In addition, he could control his abilities immediately after the change of race.
When Aria remembered her morning awakening, she blushed again. Despite her perky personality, she was still an angel.
So the gorilla angel is not used to intimacy, but not to say she doesn't like it.
Compared to her mother's embrace, she felt a strange excitement and sense of security.
Remembering Xie Qing's strong muscles, she blushed
"No, Aria! You are a noble angel, you must not think of such things! But it felt so good... NO WAY, GHAAH!" Aria shook her head, driving the thoughts away.
Xie Qing felt his hair hit his back, and along with those blows, particles of light crashed into him.
It was so painful, as she did not hold back, that he could barely hold back the tears.
And Alfred? The old man was just drinking his tea. And if he met Xie Qing's gaze, he turned away and whistled.
"That lousy old man..." snorted Xie Qing irritably. Compared to his first impression, this old man now annoyed him rather than delighted him.
A few hours later they reached Heaven.
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow when he felt a strong tingling sensation across his body. But it soon disappeared.
Turning his head, he saw that Aria had applied protection magic on him. This kept the particles of light from hurting him.
"Are you worried about your husband, my dear wife?" Xie Qing smiled brightly as he looked at her.
And, of course, he received a kick in the back in response. But he was able to make out an embarrassed Aria.
Rubbing his back, Xie Qing surveyed the sights of Heaven. There were many beautiful angels.
When he met his eyes with the angels, they worshipped. He responded in kind.
In short, the angels are very polite and kind. Xie Qing shifted his gaze to Aria and looked at her with a strange look.
"...What?" She looked at him with a questioning look.
"Nothing..." Xie Qing sighed sadly, then walked forward.
For some reason, Aria felt an invisible arrow pierce her. At the same time, Alfred walked ahead as if nothing had happened.
***
The great hall of light was crowded. Many influential angels walked around the hall.
Somewhere even a Throne (angel) was seen.
Xie Qing sat at a round table, with Aria next to him on the left and Alfred on the right. Opposite sat three Seraphim and one cherub with glasses.
"Your like our city?" The cherub asked with a smile. He looked like a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Beautiful and bright, I like it." Xie Qing replied with a smile.
"I'm glad of your like it." The cherub smiled, then turned serious. "Mr. Xie Qing, you know the terms, don't you?"
"Naturally. They are quite acceptable, but I would ask that you reserve the right to refuse if anything exceeds my capabilities." Xie Qing nodded with a smile.
"It is not difficult. Let us discuss other matters." Cherub smiled back and nodded.
Xie Qing also responded with a nod. From this point on, they began diplomatic matters.
The main issues were handled by Cherub and Xie Qing, with occasional questions from the Seraphim.
Five hours passed this way.
"And so, the basic questions have been resolved. Now the last detail..." Cherub smiled, and then pulled out a golden papyrus for color and opened it.
Aria snorted unhappily, apparently recognizing it. Xie Qing, however, was puzzled. Seeing his confusion, the cherub smiled good-naturedly.
"Mr. Xie Qing may not know it, but with his help we angels usually make marriages."
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow and nodded. Still, he and Aria had already discussed the matter and both sides were fine with it.
"I see. Please, Mr. William, enlighten me as to what I should do?" Xie Qing smiled and secretly took Aria's hand.
"That bastard!" Aria blushed and looked fiercely at Xie Qing, but he paid no attention. But for some reason she didn't take her hand away...
Naturally, the cherub and Seraphims saw this action, but only smiled and said nothing.
"Sure. In fact, it's easy. All you have to do is channel your magical power here." The cherub smiled good-naturedly and handed over the golden papyrus.
Xie Qing nodded and then injected his magical power into the papyrus. Soon half of the magical circle depicted on the papyrus glowed with golden light.
He handed the papyrus to Aria, who embarrassingly infused her magical power. Soon the magic circle glowed fully and the
light shot into the sky.
A rainbow appeared above Heaven and all the angels who saw it smiled gently. Cherub William and the Seraphim couldn't help but smile, too.
Alfred looked indifferent, but the corners of his mouth were raised. Xie Qing looked at the rainbow in surprise.
Cherub William, seeing his confusion, replied: "When an angel makes a marriage contract through a golden papyrus, a rainbow appears in the sky. It means their marriage will be happy."
Xie Qing nodded and looked at Aria, who was so embarrassed that she sat with her head down.
"You take care of me, wifey." Xie Qing smiled as he felt the soul connection with Aria.
"Mm..." Aria simply nodded and looked away.
Xie Qing felt that even if he died right on the spot, he wouldn't regret a thing.
Tears even came to his eyes when he remembered Aria's former attitude. And now she looked very cute.
Xie Qing squeezed Aria's hand tighter, and she, though belatedly, squeezed his hand as well.
"By the way, Aria, how old are you?"
Boom!
"HEY, HEY, I WAS JUST KIDDING!"
"AAH!"
Something doesn't change, though. The angels walked around in good spirits for a long time that day.
But, of course, not everywhere was so positive.
***
Hell, the Ninth Circle.
The terrible cold made even souls freeze, but the blizzard only hurt, and not kill them.
But that was enough. For there were cries of souls everywhere, and all around the Ninth Circle there was a nasty black energy, a negative energy to be exact.
In the Ninth Circle was a castle made of ice, and inside the castle was a huge giant who sat on a throne made of ice. He looked coldly at the demon, who knelt down.
"You claim that the Abyss has been reborn?"
The giant frowned, and that movement alone was enough to cause space to warp.
The demon, in awe, replied: "Master, it is determined to be so! The Guardian of the Eighth Circle has personally confirmed it!"
"Herion must not lie, so it is most likely true." The giant frowned, then stood up from his throne. The action caused space to tear apart, leaving distortion in the air.
"I am going to the Palace of the Nine Guardians! See to it that no one enters here, or I will bury you under the lake of Cocytus! Do you understand me?!" The giant's voice caused ripples in space, and the ice castle slowly began to crack. The demon below fell to his knees and loudly promised.
And when the demon raised its head, gigant was no more. Space was slowly returning to its former state, and the castle was recovering.
