Earth, Tianhe City, near the barbecue stand.
Zhang Zheng and Zhixin watched as Morgana left, and both couldn't help but smile.
Of course, Zhang Zheng wouldn't really leave Morgana alone there. He just felt that since he and Zhixin had left in such a carefree manner, if they went back to settle the bill, Morgana might find it amusing.
So, Zhang Zheng and Zhixin had been secretly observing Morgana. If Morgana showed any signs of violence, Zhang Zheng would immediately step in to help.
However, neither Zhang Zheng nor Zhixin expected Morgana not to act against the barbecue vendor even in such an awkward situation.
Zhang Zheng thought he could slightly change his attitude toward Morgana.
Zhixin also felt the same; it was her first time seeing Morgana like this, and it seemed that the Demon Queen wasn't as bad as the predecessors had described!
However, if Queen Kasha ordered it, she would still act without hesitation.
"Let's go home, Zhixin."
Seeing that the matter was settled and not wanting to continue wandering, especially since it was getting dark, Zhang Zheng suggested they head home.
"Alright."
Zhixin would never disagree with Zhang Zheng. Since they were heading home, the two made their way back.
The Giant Gorge
Morgana's invasion had dealt a heavy blow to the Xiong Bing Lian team.
Although Zhao Xin had injured the careless Morgana, her recovery speed had indeed frightened them. In the blink of an eye, all her wounds healed, which was something they couldn't manage, not even the strongest Imperina or Liu Chuang.
Despite the setback, training still had to continue.
Because they were on an aircraft carrier, running training was replaced with swimming.
"Xiaolun, why are we swimming in black armor? Shouldn't we be in bikinis for swimming?"
Zhao Xin was quite resentful about swimming in black armor. He originally thought that with the training switched to swimming, the goddesses would wear sexy bikinis!
Unexpectedly, after looking forward to it all morning and almost forgetting about Morgana's arrival due to this anticipation, when the training actually began, everyone was still wearing black armor. Zhao Xin was quite displeased about this.
"Ahem, Xin Ye, what are you talking about?"
"We're training, not vacationing."
Ge Xiaolun was taken aback by Zhao Xin's silly comment and accidentally swallowed a large mouthful of seawater.
How could this guy's mind work like that? Even now, with the enemy visiting their home base, he could still be thinking about bikinis. What a big heart!
Although Zhao Xin and Ge Xiaolun's conversation wasn't very loud, Rose, who was following behind them, heard it and couldn't help but feel frustrated.
She would have to fight aliens with such a weirdo in the future; wouldn't he be easily swayed by a beautiful girl or a flirtatious glance?
"By the way, Xiaolun, what do you think of the angel girls?"
"I heard that besides Zheng Shao, there are two angel girls in your training. Could you introduce one to me? I have no hope with the goddesses, and I'm not even daring to think about it."
Zhao Xin was not at all embarrassed by Ge Xiaolun's words. As a good buddy, he felt that Ge Xiaolun should help him solve his single status problem, just like they helped Ge Xiaolun pursue Rose. If Ge Xiaolun knew any angel girls, he should introduce them to him.
Ge Xiaolun fell silent when he heard Zhao Xin's words. Recently, the word "angel" was the last thing he wanted to hear.
The bold confession from Angel Leng was still fresh in his mind. He wanted to forget it, but his body's instinct kept reminding him of that passionate kiss.
And the words from Angel Leng that day kept echoing in his mind.
"Do you like me, or do you like Rose?"
Ge Xiaolun didn't regret his choice at that time; he just felt a sense of guilt whenever he thought about Angel Leng's departing figure.
"Zhuangzi was right; I really am a jerk."
Ge Xiaolun muttered to himself.
Due to the sound of the waves and Ge Xiaolun's voice being too quiet, Zhao Xin couldn't hear what he said clearly. However, he did catch the word "jerk," which made him feel somewhat wronged.
"I just wanted you to introduce an angel girl to me. How did that make me a jerk?"
Zhao Xin complained to Ge Xiaolun.
Ge Xiaolun was lost in thoughts about Angel Leng and didn't hear Zhao Xin's complaint. He continued swimming mechanically with a very professional dog paddle style.
Seeing that Ge Xiaolun was ignoring him and not speaking, Zhao Xin didn't want to comment on Ge Xiaolun's professional dog paddle.
For a moment, the two fell into silence again.
Although Zhao Xin was quite annoying and not very reliable at the moment, he was the most attentive one among the boys in the Xiong Bing Lian, except for Cheng Yaowen.
At first, Zhao Xin thought Ge Xiaolun was just being silly when he ignored him.
But as time went on, he realized the reason for Ge Xiaolun's change: "Angel."
Knowing the reason, Zhao Xin didn't ask the silent Ge Xiaolun but instead accelerated to catch up with Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang was training with Ge Xiaolun, and Zhao Xin thought that if anyone knew the reason for Ge Xiaolun's change, it would be Liu Chuang.
"Hey, Zhuangzi, slow down, wait for me."
Zhao Xin called out loudly to Liu Chuang in front of him.
Although he tried his best to catch up with Liu Chuang, swimming was different from running. Zhao Xin was the fastest on land in the Xiong Bing Lian, but in the water, Liu Chuang, with the strongest power in the Xiong Bing Lian, was much faster than him.
Liu Chuang's every stroke generated much more kinetic energy than Zhao Xin's.
So Zhao Xin gave up and yelled for Liu Chuang to wait for him.
"What's up, Xin Ye?"
Liu Chuang heard Zhao Xin's call and stopped, turning around to ask loudly.
Seeing Liu Chuang stop, Zhao Xin hurriedly swam up to him.
"Zhuangzi, what happened with Xiaolun during training? As soon as I mentioned angels, Xiaolun seemed to lose his mind."
Zhao Xin asked Liu Chuang quietly.
This wasn't because Zhao Xin was being nosy, but because, in the Xiong Bing Lian, Zhao Xin and Ge Xiaolun had the closest relationship, so seeing Ge Xiaolun like this made Zhao Xin a bit worried.
"What else could it be? He did something jerkish and feels guilty."
Liu Chuang felt irritated when he thought about the situation between Angel Leng and Ge Xiaolun.
Although he knew it wasn't really Ge Xiaolun's fault, just thinking about Lingxi made him want to beat Ge Xiaolun again for delaying his chance to pursue a girl.
It's not only women who hold grudges; sometimes, men can be even more petty when they hold a grudge.
"What?"
"Just what kind of jerkish thing could Xiaolun do?"
Zhao Xin didn't quite understand Liu Chuang's words.
Having been good buddies with Ge Xiaolun for six months, Zhao Xin felt he knew Ge Xiaolun pretty well. Given his personality, he didn't think Ge Xiaolun could do anything major, let alone become like this.
"Could Xiaolun have fallen for the angel girl?"
Zhao Xin tentatively asked.
"Not really, he just hurt an angel girl's feelings."
Liu Chuang said.
"Oh, as long as it's not falling for someone else."
"Wait a minute, Zhuangzi, you're saying Xiaolun could hurt an angel's feelings? Don't joke around."
Zhao Xin couldn't believe Ge Xiaolun could do such a thing. He often heard Imperina say that angels were old monsters, and with Ge Xiaolun's level, he couldn't possibly make an angel sad.
"Hey, Xin Ye, don't doubt it. Xiaolun's first kiss was taken by a female angel."
"It's just that when the angel girl confessed, Xiaolun rejected her."
Liu Chuang revealed the details to Zhao Xin when he saw he didn't believe him.
Upon hearing Liu Chuang's words, Zhao Xin felt like he had missed an opportunity. If this guy could be pursued by an angel girl, if he had been there, wouldn't he have already found someone?
Zhao Xin now deeply regretted it.
"If I had known, I would have shamelessly followed you guys."
Zhao Xin muttered to himself.
