Zhang Zheng's Home
"Zhixin, is it a bad time for me to come back?" Zhang Zheng asked with a hint of unease in his voice.
"Zhang Zheng, you're back!" Zhixin responded cheerfully. "How are they?"
Zhixin was referring to Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang.
"Chuangzi felt that Ge Xiaolun did something to offend Sister Leng, so he gave Xiaolun a punch," Zhang Zheng explained. "But Xiaolun is an invincible body; he'll be fine after lying down for a bit."
Zhang Zheng knew what Zhixin was concerned about and directly addressed the Angels Leng and Lingxi, speaking louder. "Ah, Liu Chuang is really brave; he dared to fight Ge Xiaolun, who will be the future God of the Galaxy."
Although this was meant as praise for Liu Chuang, Lingxi clearly looked worried.
"I say, Lingxi, that's enough," Leng said, clearly exasperated. "Ge Xiaolun will be a future God, but so will Liu Chuang! Why are you so worried? Besides, the current God of the Galaxy is Zhang Zheng."
Leng couldn't understand why Lingxi was so anxious. After all, Liu Chuang wasn't the Spear of the Galactic Empire, but a deputy commander of the Galactic Force. As for Leng, she was a God of the Noxian Star, so she didn't see the point of Lingxi's concern.
Despite this, Leng was still a bit grateful to Liu Chuang for standing up for her. She decided to speak well of him more in the future.
"By the way, what were you chatting about just now? You seemed so happy."
Zhang Zheng was curious, mainly about what could have made his Zhixin speak so boldly.
"Well... we were talking about the Noxian War God and Lingxi. Leng and I think the Noxian War God and Lingxi would be great together, but Lingxi has decided to observe him for 1,000 years," Zhixin said, revealing details without considering Lingxi's feelings.
"Zhixin!"
Lingxi's face, which had just regained its normal color, flushed red again at Zhixin's words. At this moment, the 500-year-old Zhixin seemed more mature than Lingxi in Zhang Zheng's eyes.
"By the way, Lingxi, isn't it a bit too long to test Liu Chuang for a thousand years? After all, he's just an Earthling, and it's not easy to change one's mindset quickly," Zhang Zheng said sympathetically, hoping to reduce the observation period for Liu Chuang.
"But he is the Noxian War God! Time is not an issue for him," Lingxi responded, not catching the point of Zhang Zheng's comment.
"I'm saying, what if during those 1,000 years, Chuangzi gets married? What will you do then?" Zhang Zheng decided to be clear, as Lingxi wasn't considering this possibility.
"It's fine. Angels don't mind, because our lives are eternal, and we can wait," Lingxi replied, reflecting the strange mindset of the Angels.
"Alright, I really can't understand how Angels think. Luckily, my Zhixin isn't like that," Zhang Zheng said, adding, "Otherwise, I think I'd go crazy after 1,000 years!"
Zhang Zheng apologized to Liu Chuang in his heart, realizing it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that the enemy was too determined.
"Leng, didn't you say you wanted to travel and see Earth's scenery?" Zhang Zheng reminded Leng of her promise.
"Why the hurry? Can't I go tomorrow? It's not like we're missing a day," Leng replied disdainfully.
Seeing Zhang Zheng's urgency, Leng rolled her eyes. "You're already a God. Why are you and Zhixin so anxious?"
Zhang Zheng could ignore Leng's sarcastic remarks, but he couldn't stand seeing Zhixin being wronged. So, for the first time, Leng experienced Zhang Zheng's sharp tongue.
Zhang Zheng's sharp words were aimed directly at Leng's sensitive spots.
Leng, who had never been called a "single dog" before, was initially confused but then recalled something from Earth's internet. Her fair forehead was now covered with countless black crosses, as if her Angelic faith was stamped on her face.
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you, you little brat!" Leng shouted, drawing her sword, ready to attack Zhang Zheng.
"Leng, calm down!" Lingxi quickly hugged Leng from behind, trying to calm her down, while Zhixin stepped in front of Leng.
"Leng, Zhang Zheng didn't mean it. Don't get angry."
"And besides, you can't beat him, so why bother?"
Lingxi's words made Leng calm down a bit, but Zhixin's comment was a fatal blow to Leng's fragile heart.
Sister, are you seriously saying that? Leng thought, feeling betrayed by Zhixin.
At that moment, Zhixin officially became a "plastic sister" in Leng's heart.
On the Great Canyon
Back on the Great Canyon, Dukao and Lianfeng gathered several generals for a meeting.
"Comrades, we have now encountered real Gods in the Legion. Therefore, Wukong's test must be conducted earlier," Dukao said with military precision, getting straight to the point, as everyone present understood the main purpose of the meeting.
"Is it that urgent?" asked Major General Chen Longzhong, the captain of the Great Canyon. "How is Wukong's preparation?"
"Wukong is ready to start anytime, but he was injured over a thousand years ago, and our Earth technology can't fully heal him yet. I'm concerned that Wukong might not be able to test them now," Dukao admitted. "After all, Liu Chuang wasn't supposed to become a God so early, and Ge Xiaolun wasn't supposed to awaken his anti-void powers yet."
Dukao expressed his concerns. Although it was good that Liu Chuang had become a God and Ge Xiaolun had learned to use his anti-void abilities, the suddenness of these events caught Dukao off guard.
"Old Du makes a point. It's good that the Legion is becoming stronger, but how did they suddenly become Gods?" Uncle Huang asked, echoing everyone's confusion.
"Lianfeng."
Hearing Dukao call his name, Lianfeng immediately displayed Zhang Zheng's data on the large screen.
"Zhang Zheng, male, 25 years old, from Tianhe City."
"Former security guard at the Angel International Building, now resigned."
