Chapter 109

Tianhe City, Zhang Zheng's House

Zhang Zheng watched as Angel Leng and Du Qiangwei sized each other up, feeling increasingly frustrated. He noticed that Ge Xiaolun had already avoided the situation upon seeing Angel Leng.

"This coward," Zhang Zheng cursed Ge Xiaolun inwardly, then stepped forward to stand between the two women who were exchanging glances.

However, the moment Zhang Zheng stepped in, even his sentinel-serum-enhanced body felt a deep-seated hostility. It was as though he was surrounded by high-voltage electricity. Even Zhang Zheng, who frequently fought with Thunder Battle Ax and was used to dealing with lightning, felt a shiver from the invisible current between the two women.

"Qiangwei, can you help set the table? Qilin, could you fry up some side dishes? Mengmeng, could you help out as well?"

After giving these instructions, Zhang Zheng turned to Angel Leng and said, "Sister Leng, could you go out and get some beer and drinks? I heard Xiaolun's favorite is Snow Beer."

Zhang Zheng could only think of this solution. Since Ge Xiaolun was Angel Leng's idol, she might not refuse to help him.

"Hmph."

Angel Leng shot Zhang Zheng a cold glance and gave Du Qiangwei a challenging look before turning and sashaying out the door.

Seeing Angel Leng leave, Du Qiangwei's icy expression softened into a smug smile. To her, Angel Leng leaving meant conceding defeat. Didn't she see that Du Qiangwei had stayed seated the entire time without moving?

However, Du Qiangwei was also a bit annoyed. As soon as they entered, the angel named Leng had been staring at her. Initially, Du Qiangwei, with her aloof personality, hadn't cared much. But having a proud-looking beauty glare at her with clear hostility wasn't pleasant.

If it were anyone else, being targeted by an angel would usually make them flee in fear. But Du Qiangwei, being a super soldier who had just won a victory and was feeling proud, wasn't scared. If you glare at me, I'm not afraid!

Ge Xiaolun, seeing that the two women were about to clash, quickly gave in. He said nothing and moved to Zhixin's side, calling her "sister" and making Zhixin smile brightly, easily agreeing to Ge Xiaolun's request for training.

"Chuangzi, what's up with that angel girl? Why does she seem so hostile towards Qiangwei?" Zhao Xin asked Liu Chuang in a low voice, with a gossiping expression that made others want to kick him.

Liu Chuang didn't respond immediately. Instead, he glanced at Angel Lingxi and, seeing that Lingxi wasn't watching them, turned back to Zhao Xin.

"Well, remember the angel I mentioned before who liked Xiaolun?"

"That's her, Angel Leng, Sister Leng. Xiaolun turned her down, so..."

Liu Chuang didn't finish his sentence, knowing Zhao Xin would understand.

Zhao Xin did understand, but it was a severe blow to him. What did he see? Liu Chuang, the old rogue, had an angel interested in him, while he, a descendant of the famous general Zhao Yun, was still single. This realization was crushing for Zhao Xin, who now slouched on the sofa, devoid of energy, looking like a salted fish, drained of color and life.

Seeing Zhao Xin's state, Liu Chuang didn't know what to think but chose to ignore Zhao Xin and walked over to Angel Lingxi.

Zhao Xin's mood worsened as he saw Liu Chuang approach Lingxi.

On the other side, after Liu Chuang left, Empire Reina looked at Zhao Xin. She initially considered teasing him more but decided to let it go upon seeing his dejected state. She then walked over and sat next to Zhang Zheng.

"Hey, Zhang Zheng, thanks for everything."

Empire Reina put her arm around Zhang Zheng's shoulder without caring about Zhang Zheng's stiff reaction.

Feeling Reina's arm around him, Zhang Zheng was uncomfortable. This was his home, and Zhixin was still there!

What on earth is this girl doing? So casually hugging me!

"Not at all. Goddess, could you please let go?"

Zhang Zheng tried to shrug his shoulders but couldn't free himself from Reina's embrace. Not wanting to forcefully remove her, he whispered to her.

"Oh, I just see you as a buddy. And this is to thank you for helping restore Liyang Star. Don't misunderstand!"

Reina was momentarily taken aback by Zhang Zheng's words and then realized her embrace might have seemed ambiguous. She quickly let go and explained.

"I understand. I understand. How could a goddess be interested in a married man like me? I get it."

Seeing Reina's hand removed, Zhang Zheng quickly shifted away, trying to keep a distance from the energetic girl.

Watching Zhang Zheng's reaction, Reina gritted her teeth in frustration. Zhang Zheng, seeing Reina's displeased expression, stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll go make the dishes."

Without waiting for Reina's response, Zhang Zheng headed towards the kitchen.

Back at Angel Lingxi's side, Liu Chuang, now away from the rough and tough persona, spoke more politely.

"Lingxi, what's the deal with Sister Leng? Is she going to clash with Qiangwei?"

Liu Chuang asked with genuine concern, knowing well the strength of Angel Leng from their previous encounter. Though Liu Chuang had won last time, Zhang Zheng had mentioned that Angel Leng still had a trump card. If she used it, even he, with his godly body, might be in trouble.

"I see. Sister Leng has sworn to be the Guardian Angel of the Galactic Force. She mentioned she could wait for the Galactic Force, so she probably wants to see what the girls around the Galactic Force were like before her."

Angel Lingxi's face showed a hint of envy as she spoke about Leng.

Every angel hopes to find a compatible idol, but with so many angels and so few male idols in the universe, most angels end up fighting for justice alongside the queen until they complete their mission and retire. They either live in seclusion in Angel City or become leaders in subordinate civilizations.

So Lingxi envied Angel Leng for her firm belief in Ge Xiaolun as her future partner and her early decision to commit.

"Lingxi, what's this oath about? I don't get it."

Liu Chuang didn't understand the angelic vows, so he asked Lingxi, puzzled.

"If an angel likes someone, they swear to be their guardian angel."

"Zhixin has sworn to protect Zhang Zheng, and Sister Leng has sworn to Ge Xiaolun. In Earth terms, they are considered legal partners in the angelic order."

Lingxi explained while observing Liu Chuang, seemingly considering whether to choose him as her own idol.

Liu Chuang, though not well-read, understood Lingxi's words. He then looked at Lingxi and asked earnestly, "Lingxi, what do you think of me?"
