Zhang Zheng watched Zhixin return to her room to contact Holy Keisha, feeling a bit bored as he got up from the sofa. Without Zhixin's fragrant thighs, Zhang Zheng had lost interest in lounging around.
With a flash of red light, a can of beer appeared in Zhang Zheng's hand, and he leaned back on the sofa, drinking leisurely.
"Where's Ge Xiaolun?"
The first thing Angel Leng asked as she walked in was about Ge Xiaolun; she didn't seem to care about Zhang Zheng, who was drinking. After speaking, Angel Leng retracted her wings and gently flapped them twice in the air.
Unlike Zhixin, she had her wings spread for seven thousand years, and after retracting them, she occasionally felt a bit uncomfortable. Now that Ge Xiaolun wasn't around, Angel Leng took the opportunity to spread her wings again.
"Ge Xiaolun and the others have gone back, but Lengjie, don't you have the resolve of a guardian angel? How can you casually spread your wings?"
Zhang Zheng was a bit annoyed with the way Angel Leng spoke to him. How dare a defeated subordinate speak to me like that? Although Zhang Zheng sometimes thought that an angel with wings spread was the most beautiful, he couldn't help but retort against Angel Leng.
"Hmph."
Angel Leng, having received an answer, didn't want to pay any more attention to Zhang Zheng, and she turned her head away in disdain. Zhang Zheng, seeing her tsundere behavior, mentally lit three incense sticks for Ge Xiaolun. Given how clueless Ge Xiaolun was, it would take him a long time to truly handle Angel Leng.
At this point, it seemed that Qiangwei might actually be a better match. Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng shook his head vigorously, chiding himself for having no memory—hadn't he just told Zhixin he wouldn't meddle in Ge Xiaolun's business?
"Hey, where's Zhixin?"
Angel Lingxi, upon entering and not seeing Zhixin, was curious. Normally, if Zhang Zheng was home, he'd be stuck to Zhixin. Seeing Zhang Zheng alone on the sofa drinking while Zhixin was absent, Lingxi, out of respect for Zhang Zheng's home, refrained from using her Insight Eye to look for Zhixin herself and instead asked Zhang Zheng directly.
"Zhixin's in the room! She's probably talking to Queen Keisha right now," Zhang Zheng replied with a slight smirk. Zhang Zheng felt that Zhixin was doing pointless work. With an angel's pride, how could Keisha, the Queen of Angels, be scared to come to Earth out of fear of death? Even if she knew she would die, she wouldn't lose her dignity.
"Oh," Angel Lingxi responded briefly and fell silent. There wasn't much to talk about these days—either Zhang Zheng was bantering with Angel Leng, or he was preparing to banter with her. As for Lingxi, Zhang Zheng didn't bully her too much because of her gentle nature. Besides, since Lingxi was destined to end up with Liu Chuang, an old rogue, Zhang Zheng had no interest in teasing her.
Sometimes Zhang Zheng wished it were Azhui and Moy standing there instead. At least when they were around, they never missed a chance to give Zhang Zheng a treat. But these two were already taken, so there was no fun to be had anymore.
"Zhang Zheng, Queen Keisha said she understands, but she's still coming to Earth."
Zhixin walked out of the room, looking dejected. She sat directly next to Zhang Zheng on the sofa, resting her head on his shoulder, feeling helpless. "Zhixin, you're Queen Keisha's right-wing guardian. Do you think Queen Keisha is afraid of death?" Zhang Zheng sighed, placing his hands on Zhixin's head and gently ruffling her hair.
Angel Leng and Angel Lingxi once again found themselves witnessing some PDA, but since this involved Holy Keisha, they didn't interrupt.
"But…"
Zhixin seemed like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words, leading to an awkward silence.
"Alright, Zhixin. If you don't want anything to happen to Queen Keisha, she won't be in danger. You forget, I'm still here!" Zhang Zheng didn't understand why Zhixin was so worried. Zhixin was underestimating her man—if she asked, how could Zhang Zheng refuse?
Upon hearing Zhang Zheng's words, Zhixin's eyes lit up. Right, the enemy consisted of two main gods, but if Zhang Zheng joined, their side would also have two main gods, and they were the strongest in the universe. What was there to fear? As for her teacher He Xi, Zhixin conveniently overlooked her once again.
"Mm-hmm, then you must protect Queen Keisha," Zhixin said excitedly.
"Alright, I'll step in," Zhang Zheng agreed quickly to put Zhixin's mind at ease, not forgetting to plant a kiss on her cheek as a reward.
Angel Leng, hearing their conversation, began to feel uneasy.
"Zhixin, what do you mean by all this? Why would Queen Keisha need Zhang Zheng's help?" Angel Leng stepped forward, standing in front of Zhang Zheng and Zhixin, her expression unfriendly. Lingxi also showed concern on her face, though she stayed a bit more reserved and didn't come too close.
"Zhang Zheng said that Queen Keisha would be in danger this time on Earth, so I asked Zhang Zheng to help," Zhixin explained, not hiding anything from Angel Leng. She repeated what Zhang Zheng had told her.
Angel Leng, after hearing this, found it hard to believe.
"Hey, Zhang Zheng, can you really see the future?" Angel Leng asked, skeptical even though she knew Zhang Zheng had the power of time.
"Yes, I see it very clearly," Zhang Zheng replied.
"Then, what about my future?" Angel Leng, though not fully believing in seeing the future, was curious about what hers would look like. As for Queen Keisha, Angel Leng was now more at ease. If Zhang Zheng had promised to help, she believed Queen Keisha would be safe. After all, Keisha had repeatedly told them about Zhang Zheng's strength, and after observing him for over a month, Angel Leng, although reluctant to admit it, had to recognize that Zhang Zheng was on par with Queen Keisha in power.
So, Angel Leng couldn't imagine what Morgana and Karl could possibly do to threaten two beings of Keisha's level.
Zhang Zheng fell silent for a moment upon hearing Angel Leng's question. Thinking of her death in the original story, Zhang Zheng felt it was a pity.
"If I don't intervene, you'll be killed in a year by an angel named Ruoning, who uses a bow that can decompose super genes," Zhang Zheng said, without being too specific. With his presence, many things had already changed. Zhang Zheng didn't want to speak too definitively because he couldn't guarantee that Angel Yan would still become the Angel Queen.
If Yan didn't become the Angel Queen, Leng and the others wouldn't have to die defending North Star.
"Master…"
Angel Leng was shocked when she heard Ruoning's name, and she looked at Zhixin as if asking whether Zhixin had mentioned Ruoning to Zhang Zheng. But seeing Zhixin's confused expression, Leng remembered that Zhixin was only five hundred years old, and Ruoning had left Angel City three thousand years ago. Zhixin wouldn't know much about Ruoning, let alone tell Zhang Zheng.
"Why would Master want to kill me?" Angel Leng asked Zhang Zheng, but from her expression, Zhang Zheng could tell she didn't believe her master would kill her.
"For power, for the throne, and most of all, for her unrealistic ambitions."
