Liang Bing was infuriated by Zhang Zheng's threat.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you, you bastard."
"Do you dare to use that state from last time?" Morgana snapped.
Initially, Morgana had been frightened by Zhang Zheng's Sentinel state. But after reflecting on it, she realized that even Zhang Zheng struggled to control that state. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had those berserk moments.
So, on Earth, Morgana felt she didn't need to fear Zhang Zheng. Since he prohibited the gods from taking action on Earth, he himself would be even less inclined to lose control here. After all, Zhang Zheng's destructive power in Sentinel mode was greater than that of the gods.
Zhi Xin, hearing Morgana mention Zhang Zheng's berserk state, recalled the data Yan Jie had shown her before. Ignoring Morgana, she tightly held Zhang Zheng's hand, as he was the most important to her.
Zhang Zheng, feeling deeply touched by Zhi Xin's gesture, gently patted her hand.
"Morgana, don't think that just because I'm not in Sentinel form, I can't deal with you."
Zhang Zheng said confidently. Although he couldn't fully control the Sentinel state or the Infinity Gauntlet, he still possessed the Stormbreaker and part of the Gauntlet's power. He could handle Morgana effectively.
"Hmph, who knows? But Zhang Zheng, this is Earth. Do you really want to fight here?"
Morgana said disdainfully. Part of the reason she had engaged with Xiaolun and the others was to test the power of the three god-making projects favored by Principal Kieran and, more importantly, to probe Zhang Zheng's limits.
However, due to Sun Wukong's presence, she had to end her probing early. Seeing that Zhang Zheng didn't act immediately upon seeing her, she realized he was unwilling to engage on Earth. Therefore, Morgana's purpose was to vent her anger from the previous encounter.
Zhang Zheng noticed Morgana's arrogance and, if possible, would have liked to strike her down. However, Morgana was now on guard, and he didn't want to use Sentinel mode. In his normal state, he wasn't fast enough to take Morgana off Earth before she could react. Thus, he was at a bit of a loss.
Morgana's arrogance grew as Zhang Zheng did not act. She didn't bother with formalities, ignoring Zhi Xin's murderous glare, and took Zhang Zheng's unfinished beer, drinking it straight from the bottle.
After finishing the beer, Morgana grabbed a skewer of grilled kidney from the table and took a bite.
Zhang Zheng observed Morgana, thinking, "This Demon Queen is quite bold. No wonder she could mix with those soldiers in the original story."
However, seeing Morgana, in Liang Bing's form, behaving so unceremoniously, Zhang Zheng felt his worldview was being challenged.
Zhi Xin was also stunned. This was her second time seeing Morgana. The first time, with Queen Kesha around, they were in opposing positions, so her understanding of Morgana was based on the older generation of angels' descriptions.
From what she had heard, Morgana was portrayed as incredibly evil and cunning, but no one had ever mentioned this wild side of her. Zhi Xin now thought that Queen Kesha's hatred for Morgana might stem from Morgana's disgraceful behavior as a former king.
As Morgana continued eating, she felt a bit uneasy under Zhi Xin's gaze. She looked up and said, "What are you staring at, little angel? If it weren't for Zhang Zheng being here, I'd have already dealt with you."
Morgana glared at Zhi Xin with a threatening look.
"Hmph."
Zhi Xin was unfazed by Morgana's threats. Even if Zhang Zheng weren't present, she wouldn't be afraid of Morgana. Zhang Zheng had provided her with enhanced versions of the Flame Sword and Angel Armor. If it came to a fight, Zhi Xin felt her safety would be assured, even if she couldn't defeat Morgana.
Thus, Zhi Xin's response to Morgana's threat was simply a dismissive "hmph."
Zhang Zheng, observing the interaction, felt a headache coming on. Ignoring Morgana, he took Zhi Xin's hand, and they left.
Even after leaving, they could still hear Morgana's boisterous laughter from a distance.
Morgana was in high spirits, having had her first taste of happiness on Earth. Previously, she was always defeated by Zhang Zheng, but this time, she managed to drive him away, along with a little angel.
In a great mood, Morgana grabbed another bottle of beer and drank it in one go.
However, her good mood vanished when she was about to leave.
"Excuse me, could you settle the bill? It's 198 yuan."
The stall owner approached Morgana as she was about to leave.
"Hmm, didn't those two settle the bill?" Morgana asked.
"No, they left without paying. So, you'll need to settle it," the owner said, eyeing Morgana. He figured she wouldn't be short on money given her designer clothes and bags.
"Damn it, those two little bastards."
Morgana was dismayed to hear that Zhang Zheng hadn't paid. Although she was the Demon Queen and not typically concerned with mortal matters, being in a situation where she couldn't pay for her meal would be humiliating.
"Um, boss, I haven't finished eating. Can you bring me another serving of what was on the table?"
Morgana said and sat back down.
As the owner went to get more skewers, Morgana hurriedly contacted her Demon Castle.
"A Tai, send me some money."
Morgana instructed.
"Your Majesty, we're demons. We don't have human currency here. Besides, what use is money to demons?"
A Tai was confused by the request. Demons typically had no concept of money.
"Stop wasting time. Get me some money quickly. I need it urgently."
Morgana was adamant about not letting the lack of money embarrass her.
"Alright, Your Majesty. There are many types of money on Earth. What kind do you need?"
A Tai asked, wary of provoking Morgana further.
"A Tai, are you an idiot? I'm in Huaxia. Of course, I need Huaxia's RMB."
Morgana realized why she often lost to Kesha—her subordinates didn't seem to be very sharp.
"Got it, Your Majesty. I'll deposit the RMB into your personal armory for easy access."
A Tai responded, having learned from past mistakes. He immediately deposited the stolen RMB into Morgana's personal armory.
"Good job. Hang up."
Morgana praised A Tai and ended the call.
"Boss, settle the bill!"
With the money in hand, Morgana's confidence was restored, and she called the owner to settle the payment.
The owner, looking at the stack of money in his hand—at least several thousand yuan—was at a loss. However, since Morgana had already left, he didn't want to return the money. He had encountered a wealthy customer.
Aside from the owner's thoughts, other customers at the stall looked at the pile of money with envy.
