Zhixin brought Zhang Zheng here. Zhang Zheng was intently watching the sparring little angels.
Zhixin had come to understand her man's personality. He wasn't a combat fanatic, but he was persistent. He said he wanted to gain battle experience and wouldn't miss any chance to fight.
"Don't be reckless. They've just become angels not long ago. They're all rookies with no real combat power," Zhixin warned.
"If you really want to fight, I will fight with you," she added.
"Uh... I'd rather not fight with you. Whether you get hurt or I get hurt, it's painful for me. If I'm hurt, it's physical pain. If you're hurt, my heart will ache even more. It's a lose-lose situation for me. No way."
Although Zhang Zheng used to be a single dog, he wasn't outdone when it came to sweet talk. Influenced by the big online platforms, he could spout little sweet nothings effortlessly.
As a result, our little angel Zhixin was touched beyond measure. Her gaze towards Zhang Zheng was full of tenderness. If the training ground weren't so crowded, she might have thrown herself into his arms.
"Zhixin, when did you get back?"
A sudden voice interrupted their tender moment.
"Leng Jie, you're here too."
"Yes, today it's my turn to train these new recruits. As a high-ranking guardian angel, when I'm not on a mission, I take turns training the new angels. Today just happens to be my turn."
"Oh... Zhixin even found a male god. It's like I just saw Zhang Zheng. Teasing Zhixin," she said.
"Yes... Zhang Zheng, my male god." Zhixin introduced Zhang Zheng to Angel Leng. "This is Angel Leng. Leng Jie is a high-ranking guardian angel."
"Hello, Leng Jie." Zhang Zheng greeted Angel Leng.
Angel Leng was one of the few angels who left an impression on Zhang Zheng in the original story. Especially the line she said to her master, Angel Ruoning, before she died: "Power struggles, how lowly." It left Zhang Zheng with a deep impression and fondness.
"Well... little boy, how long have you known our Zhixin? How about trying out with me, the elder sister?" Angel Leng said with a wink.
"No, no." Zhang Zheng thought only Angel Yan would suddenly become flirtatious, but he didn't expect Angel Leng to be so bold. No wonder she was 200 years older than Angel Yan; her experience was much richer.
"Ha ha..." Angel Leng laughed at Zhang Zheng's flustered and repeated refusals.
"Oh, you're shy too. Don't worry, Zhixin won't mind." She said, wrapping her arm around Zhang Zheng's neck.
"Let's get to know each other."
Zhang Zheng, held by Angel Leng, looked to Zhixin for help, as if saying, "If you don't speak up, your man is going to be taken away."
Zhixin, seeing Zhang Zheng's plea, didn't say anything. She just gave Zhang Zheng a reassuring look.
She knew that if she spoke up now, Leng Jie would definitely tease her. She was simple but not foolish.
Angel Leng looked at Zhang Zheng and Zhixin exchanging glances, and said unhappily, "Why is it that in my embrace, you're still thinking of Zhixin?"
Then she leaned her face close to Zhang Zheng's, as if to let him see her clearly.
Seeing Angel Leng so close, Zhang Zheng knew she was teasing him, but he still had difficulty controlling himself. The alluring scent from her was intoxicating.
"No," Zhang Zheng thought, as Zhixin's face flashed through his mind, and he quickly closed his heart with the Soul Gem, forcing himself into saint mode.
The dazed look in his eyes disappeared. At that moment, Angel Leng was no longer a charming fairy in Zhang Zheng's eyes. She was just an inconsequential person.
Seeing Zhang Zheng's clear eyes, Angel Leng clicked her tongue in disappointment and pushed Zhang Zheng back to Zhixin's side.
"How boring. I thought I could tease Zhixin's male god a bit, but he's not playing along. It's not fun."
"Hey, you're Zhang Zheng, right? How about sparring with me? Let me assess how good you really are," Angel Leng said with a proud look.
"No," Zhang Zheng rejected immediately. He planned to spend these few days accompanying Zhixin.
In a few days, he would leave the City of Angels, and he wasn't sure if Zhixin would go with him to the Sunfire Star.
He still remembered the purpose of his trip this time.
"Tch... forget it. You two can go on your own."
After Angel Leng left, Zhixin finally spoke up.
"I thought you would agree to spar with Leng Jie. She's a warrior angel over seven thousand years old and very powerful."
Zhixin thought Zhang Zheng wouldn't miss out on a combat opportunity.
"No... I'll only be with you for these three days. I won't fight with anyone. I'll head to Sunfire Star after three days."
Zhixin wasn't bothered by Zhang Zheng's plan to spend only three days with her. Both were gods, and time was not an issue. They continued exploring many places, and Zhang Zheng didn't see any other familiar angels.
Time passed unnoticed until evening. After a day of sightseeing, Zhang Zheng and Zhixin returned to Zhixin's home in the City of Angels.
Looking at the beautiful room in front of him, Zhang Zheng felt a little excited. It seemed like he was going to spend his first night with Zhixin from two lifetimes.
Unlike Zhang Zheng's excitement, Zhixin appeared calm. From the moment she completed the oath and retracted her wings, she was ready. (Angels usually don't retract their wings. They only make their wings invisible when descending to lower civilizations to hide their identity. Only angels who have completed the oath will retract their wings normally, signifying they have found their male god.)
Zhang Zheng looked at the calm Zhixin. He walked over slowly, picked her up, and placed her on the big bed.
Two hours later, Zhang Zheng leaned against the headboard, one arm around Zhixin, and fell into thought.
So many things had happened in one day. Leaving Earth, meeting Zhixin, from initially liking her to falling in love with this pure little angel. Everything happened so fast that Zhang Zheng felt like he was dreaming. Happiness came so suddenly. Watching Zhixin's head resting quietly on his chest, he unconsciously held her tighter. Only by having something can one truly understand the value of cherishing it.
Morning sunlight shone through the window, waking the two who had been sleeping.
Today, Zhixin wasn't wearing the silver armor symbolizing the holy wings. Instead, she wore a white, form-fitting long dress.
The dress, with its golden patterns, highlighted Zhixin's nobility and gentleness.
Zhang Zheng was once again captivated by Zhixin. If yesterday's Zhixin in armor was a blend of heroism and innocence, then today's Zhixin was a mix of nobility and a touch of feminine allure.
Indeed, as the most beautiful angel in the universe, any clothing looked great on her.
Zhixin, dressed in her new outfit, slowly walked to Zhang Zheng's side. The click of her high heels on the floor seemed to echo in Zhang Zheng's heart.
"Zhixin, let's go out and play for the next three days. Let's find some beautiful planets in the universe to visit."
"Do you have any recommendations?"
"Mm, I'll follow your lead. But today, there's one more thing to do. I need to install a communicator on you. Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient to contact you later."
"Uh... alright." Zhang Zheng felt that the cute Zhixin seemed to be turning into a housekeeper.
"Am I going to end up like those poor guys, living under constant supervision by my wife?"
Turning to look at Zhixin and thinking about the days ahead, Zhang Zheng gritted his teeth and decided to go along with it. After all, his wife was beautiful.
