Earth, Zhang Zheng's Home.
As Angel Zui admitted that she was joking, the atmosphere returned to its previous state. However, behind this new smile, no one could tell how much of it was genuine.
...
"By the way, ladies, when will you be returning to Angel City?" Zhang Zheng suddenly asked.
Zhang Zheng was quite frustrated. Having these angelic sisters in his home was really inconvenient. Furthermore, they kept giving him benefits, and Zhang Zheng felt that if this continued, he would eventually be overwhelmed. So, since the angels hadn't found Morgana today, Zhang Zheng brought it up casually.
"Ying ying ying, are you rejecting me, big brother?"
"In that case, we can leave right now. What a heartless man," Angel Yan said, covering her eyes and crying.
She looked very sad, as if she had been abandoned by a heartless lover, which was truly heart-wrenching and tear-jerking.
But this trick was wasted on the wrong person.
With only a few people in Zhang Zheng's home, and the angels knowing the full truth, Zhang Zheng had been somewhat influenced by them. Thus, Yan's performance was nothing more than a show for the blind.
Seeing Angel Yan still pretending to be heartbroken, Zhang Zheng sighed.
"Yan, stop playing around."
"You all should return to Angel City as soon as possible."
"If we really need an angel stationed on Earth, then let's transfer Zhi Xin here. What do you think?" Zhang Zheng tentatively suggested.
At first, the angels were a bit speechless at Zhang Zheng's request to drive them away. When did angels become so unwelcome?
But upon hearing the latter part, several of the angels couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yo~ Big brother, your true nature is exposed."
"If you miss Zhi Xin, just say so. I'm not unreasonable," Angel Yan teased with a smile.
It wasn't about inconvenience; it was just because it was her. If it were Zhi Xin, Zhang Zheng might have been much more excited.
"Uh (⊙o⊙)... Yeah, I do miss Zhi Xin a bit."
"So, Yan, can you help transfer Zhi Xin here this time?"
"After all, you're the Holy Left Wing and she's the Holy Right Wing. Swapping the two of you shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Zhang Zheng said directly, now that Angel Yan had figured out his intentions.
Since he missed his wife, it wasn't something to be ashamed of, so Zhang Zheng openly admitted it.
For Zhang Zheng's bluntness, Angel Yan felt like another knife had been stabbed into her.
Even though she was a great beauty, was she so unappreciated?
Though Yan was somewhat upset, she said, "We'll be returning to Angel City soon, but first, we need to reach an agreement with Super God Academy. This is your responsibility, and Queen Kesha has also given her approval."
Uh (⊙o⊙)... Zhang Zheng didn't know how to counter this, as it was indeed his responsibility to facilitate the agreement.
Realizing this, Zhang Zheng could only sit there with a bitter expression.
Wait, why do I have to wait for the plot? I could contact Super God Academy right now.
Thinking this, Zhang Zheng felt like a shining lightbulb lit up beside his head.
Acting on impulse had always been Zhang Zheng's principle.
Without even notifying the angels, Zhang Zheng sprang from the sofa and went back to his room.
The angels were startled by Zhang Zheng's sudden action.
The three of them looked at each other, somewhat confused. Even though the angels had highly developed brains, they couldn't understand Zhang Zheng's behavior.
...
Back in his room, Zhang Zheng didn't waste time. He immediately took out his phone and called Duke Ao.
"General Duke Ao, how is the preparation for the angels' negotiation with Super God Academy coming along?"
Duke Ao was shocked by Zhang Zheng's bluntness when he first answered the call.
Having lived on Earth for thousands of years, Duke Ao had some understanding of humans, especially the Chinese. Meetings usually started with some pleasantries before diving into serious matters.
Zhang Zheng's direct approach left Duke Ao somewhat stunned.
"General Duke Ao," Zhang Zheng called again as he didn't hear a response.
Returning to his senses, Duke Ao felt a mix of amusement and frustration. Usually so laid-back, Zhang Zheng became impatient the moment something was at stake. Duke Ao realized he needed to get used to this.
"Super God Academy will send Reina as the representative. How have you arranged things?" Duke Ao asked.
Duke Ao felt helpless against the angels. He couldn't defeat them, so he could only negotiate.
"I have no problem. The negotiation can be held at my home."
"Since you're already prepared, let's hold the negotiation tomorrow," Zhang Zheng said, not wanting to waste any more time.
Zhang Zheng only wanted to send the angelic sisters away quickly. Angel Zui's comment today had reminded him that having the angels in his home was truly inconvenient.
Zhang Zheng had never doubted the charm of angels. When Angel Zui offered to be his guardian angel, Zhang Zheng even considered accepting it for a moment.
But thinking of Zhi Xin, Zhang Zheng suppressed that fleeting desire.
One shouldn't be too greedy, a lesson Zhang Zheng's father used to tell him in his previous life. At the time, Zhang Zheng thought it was a bit pessimistic, as if his father had learned it through experience.
But now, Zhang Zheng thought that the advice made a lot of sense.
"Will tomorrow be too rushed?" Duke Ao questioned Zhang Zheng's schedule.
The plan had only been finalized a couple of days ago, and the negotiation was set for tomorrow. He and Reina were not yet prepared. If the talks failed, he would be in trouble.
Unlike Zhang Zheng, who was optimistic about the angels, Duke Ao did not think they were easy to deal with.
Zhang Zheng, with his powerful abilities, was recognized by the angels. As Zhi Xin's husband, they were naturally more accommodating toward him.
However, Zhang Zheng always saw himself as an ordinary person.
Duke Ao was different. Without the Denor civilization as his backing, he was merely a long-lived ordinary human. The angels naturally looked down on him.
"Tomorrow is fine. The meeting will be at my home in the morning. I'll handle the rest," Zhang Zheng said, not aware of Duke Ao's concerns. He just wanted to get rid of the angelic sisters quickly.
Alright, Zhang Zheng admitted he couldn't handle it any longer.
In reality, aside from his strength, Zhang Zheng was just an ordinary person, and he was also attracted to beauty.
But as a young man with ambition, Zhang Zheng knew how to restrain himself.
On the other hand, Duke Ao, hearing Zhang Zheng's arrangement, had nothing more to say.
It was already beyond Duke Ao's responsibility to handle the negotiation with the angels. Given that Zhang Zheng wasn't holding it against him, Duke Ao felt fortunate.
Unlike ordinary humans on Earth, the Denor civilization had its own deities. Duke Ao had his own understanding of divine power.
If it were another civilization, such as the angelic or the sun civilization, no one would sympathize with him, even if Zhang Zheng killed him.
