Angel Lingxi is troubled by the plastic sisterhood issue. Zhixin is contemplating whether to plead with Angel Leng. Meanwhile, Zhang Zheng is observing the changing expressions of Zhixin and Lingxi.
"Male god..."
Angel Lingxi feels that if things continue like this, Leng Jie will go crazy, so she deliberately elongates her voice and calls out to Zhang Zheng. She also uses her big, watery eyes to gaze at Zhang Zheng's eyes, conveying a serious plea.
"Alright, alright! I'll give you, Lingxi, a favor."
Zhang Zheng feels overwhelmed by Lingxi's gaze. Is this a silent reproach? He thinks he should give in, so he readily agrees to Lingxi's request.
"Thank you, male god. I knew you weren't a petty person."
Angel Lingxi has a sweet mouth. Seeing that Zhang Zheng agreed, she immediately praises him. Her face also breaks into a brilliant smile, with her eyes turning into crescent moons.
Zhang Zheng doesn't know why, but he is always drawn to the charm of angels.
"Do I really need to practice abstinence?" Zhang Zheng silently imagines himself practicing abstinence and decisively rejects his unreliable thoughts. "I will never practice abstinence in this lifetime. I have a beautiful wife at home, and my health is fine. What's the point of abstinence!"
Others don't know Zhang Zheng's inner thoughts. Zhixin and Lingxi only see Zhang Zheng's constantly changing facial expressions and feel somewhat surprised.
"Male god, Leng Jie has been in there for five minutes. Shouldn't you let her out now?"
Lingxi reminds Zhang Zheng after he agrees to her request but hasn't yet acted to release Angel Leng.
"Oh, oh."
Hearing Lingxi's words, Zhang Zheng momentarily stops his mental activities, reaches out, and waves at the portal. A blue light appears on his hand, and one side of the portal disappears.
With Zhang Zheng's unconscious absorption, he has also acquired some of the Infinity Stones' power, and it's increasing. Now, even without the Infinity Gauntlet, Zhang Zheng can open portals with the power of the Space Stone within him.
This is the true danger of a Sentinel: no matter what energy it is, the Sentinel can unconsciously absorb it. So, even without a single universe backing it, a Sentinel itself is a huge power bank.
On the other side, with the portal closed, Angel Leng has returned.
Angel Leng was initially planning to trouble Zhang Zheng, but after recalling her recent experience, she decided to endure it. She gave Zhang Zheng a disdainful look, thinking that once Ge Xiaolun grows to full strength, she will have him help her get back at Zhang Zheng since she is his guardian angel.
Seeing Angel Leng's disdainful look, Zhang Zheng wears an exaggerated smile, almost grinning from ear to ear. Victory! This is Zhang Zheng's biggest victory since meeting angels. He's not afraid of angels confronting him directly, but since they use subtle tactics against him, he can't stay calm.
With the male god's angel Leng, there's no chance of seduction, so he can completely outshine Angel Leng.
"Hmph."
Seeing Zhang Zheng's smug look, Angel Leng snorts disdainfully and turns away, no longer looking at him.
Zhixin, seeing their interaction, hesitates, then struggles to stand up from Zhang Zheng's side. The reason for the struggle is that Zhang Zheng's hand is still around Zhixin's slim waist.
"Leng Jie, stop making trouble."
"Queen Kesha has instructed us to listen to Zhang Zheng on Earth."
Zhixin walks over to Angel Leng and says, holding her hand. However, Zhixin's words only make Angel Leng more frustrated.
"Zhixin, you shouldn't try to comfort people."
"Right now, you really don't have the talent for comforting others."
Angel Leng says with a gloomy face, clearly frustrated.
Angel Lingxi, seeing their interaction, elegantly walks past Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng watches the three little angels chatting away. Although their voices are pleasant, he finds it somewhat strange, as if surrounded by blooming lilies.
Feeling that he can't watch any longer, Zhang Zheng decides to leave without saying goodbye to Zhixin.
Leaving home, Zhang Zheng thinks about his only friend in this life.
"Liu Ge, how are you and your wife adjusting to North Star?"
Zhang Zheng asks Captain Liu on the phone.
"Not too bad, but the air quality on North Star is really poor. I'm still not used to it!"
Captain Liu replies. However, Zhang Zheng can tell that Captain Liu might be starting to like life on North Star, otherwise, he wouldn't be making such jokes. Poor air quality on North Star is a given.
"Do you have time today? I want to visit you for a drink."
Zhang Zheng suddenly wants to have a drink with Captain Liu. Since persuading him to move to North Star, Zhang Zheng hasn't met with them. Now that aliens are about to arrive, Zhang Zheng feels he should visit Captain Liu first, explain a few things, and bring along a gift.
"Ah, sure! Are you also on North Star now?"
"If so, I'll pick you up. I'm not too busy at the moment. We haven't seen each other in half a year, so it's a good chance to catch up."
Captain Liu, thinking Zhang Zheng is also on North Star, is very happy and quickly tells Zhang Zheng. Afterward, Zhang Zheng hears Captain Liu asking his wife to prepare some snacks.
"Alright, Liu Ge."
"Since you're at home, I'll come over now."
Zhang Zheng says, then opens a portal for himself and steps through it.
When Zhang Zheng reappears, he's already at the bottom of Captain Liu's apartment building.
Looking at the old rental apartment, Zhang Zheng feels a bit uncomfortable. Captain Liu is just a security team leader and has a child to support. With the high housing prices on North Star, renting this apartment is already quite good.
Using telepathy, Zhang Zheng arrives at Captain Liu's door and knocks gently.
"Coming, who's there?"
Captain Liu's voice comes from inside the door.
Hearing Captain Liu's voice, Zhang Zheng feels very happy because Captain Liu's voice is strong and calm, indicating that life on North Star isn't as tough as it might seem.
"Liu Ge, do you miss me?"
Zhang Zheng says to Captain Liu, who looks a bit stunned.
"Xiao Zhang, that was too fast! I just put down the phone."
Captain Liu says to Zhang Zheng, then warmly pulls him inside.
Following Captain Liu, Zhang Zheng enters the room. The room is just over 60 square meters, divided into two bedrooms and a small living room, with no decorations, only the warmth of home.
"Hey, Xiao Zhang is here."
Captain Liu's wife, a middle-aged woman of the same age as Captain Liu but looking much younger, though not very delicate in appearance, still gives a beautiful impression.
The saying "kind hearted, beautiful appearance" fits Captain Liu's wife.
"Hey, sis, how have you been recently?"
Zhang Zheng respects Captain Liu's wife, who has always seen him as a younger brother. In the past, like Captain Liu, she always advised him to find a proper job and not just drift through life.
"Yes, we're doing quite well."
"But Xiao Zhang, I heard from Liu Ge that aliens are coming. Is it true?"
Captain Liu's wife asks Zhang Zheng with a tone of disbelief.
"Yes, it's true, sis. I assure you everything will be fine, but how about Xiao Tao?"
Zhang Zheng reassures her and asks about his nephew, Liu Tao.
"He went to school. At this time, he should already be in class."
Captain Liu's wife says.
Thinking about how Zhang Zheng and Liu Tao interact, she smiles. Zhang Zheng, because of Captain Liu, has always called her son "nephew," even though her son is only seven years younger than Zhang Zheng and has always called Zhang Zheng "Brother Zhang."
They've had many debates over this.
