The Return of The Lord God
Bai Lixin came back from the angel and found Zhou Pingâs eyes looking at him strangely.
Bai Lixin chose to ignore it, looking straight ahead.
Neither of them spoke. Zhou Ping was busy with his research, and Bai Lixin acted as the perfect bodyguard.
On the other hand, Eve once again communicated with the God-Emperor and reported Lu Fengâs strange behaviour.
[Is there anything else?] The God-Emperor asked.
[No. I am still imprisoned and the only things I know are what happened in this room.]
[I understand. Donât worry, youâll be out soon.]
Bai Lixin and Zhou Ping had eaten, and he was about to take dinner to Eve when Zhou Ping stopped him.
Zhou Ping looked at the monitor, the tone of his voice unsurprised, âThere is no need to go.â
Bai Lixin came up to Zhou Ping and saw a man on the screen nervously freeing Eve from his restraints and leaving the room with him. He was once one of Zhou Anâs men, and he resented Zhou Ping because of his death. But it was unexpected that he would enter Zhou Pingâs room at this time.
âHow did he get in?â
âIf he wanted to enter, he would naturally have his way.â
âI clearly locked the door.â Bai Lixin frowned, watching the man in the picture soothingly pat the angelâs back with a pitying expression and looking helpless.
An angel with such power is terrible. He enslaves and drives others by using their love as a drug, corrupting the person.
âJust take a look.â Zhou Ping pointed to the camera at the door and played back a scene. The strong man was walking down the hallway when Eve suddenly shouted and got the manâs attention, and he crashed through the door.
âAfter my brotherâs death, many of the power users he had suppressed began to move. This kingdom relies on its strength, and now that my brotherâs position is vacant, some people canât hold back. â
Bai Lixin glanced at Zhou Ping, wanting to say something.
He opened his mouth and closed it again, but finally did not say a word.
Early the next morning, Zhou Ping took Bai Lixin to find Song Qian, Zhou Anâs former right-hand man.
Song Qian opened the door with a sleepy look, his body bruised and battered. It could be seen that he had a good time last night. Song Qian looked very tall and powerful, but Zhou Ping was not afraid of him. He went straight through the door and pointed to the bedroom: âMilitary officer Song seems to have taken something from my room.â
Song Qian snorted, âThatâs not a thing, thatâs my treasure. Professor Zhou, since the God-Emperor gave you the angel and you donât cherish him, how about letting me help you take care of him for the rest of your life? â
Seeing that Song Qian already knew about the angelâs special ability, Zhou Ping also stopped explaining, âYou also know that the God-Emperor gave him to me. Keeping him is not right. Why not let me take him away? Your strength is extraordinary, and even Zhou An could barely match up. The God-Emperor will undoubtedly bestow a rank upon you and allow you to leave an heir the next time you go out and achieve an extraordinary victory. Isnât it better to beg for Eve when the time comes? â
âAnyway, he has been with me for ten days, but since you want to take care of him, I will let him stay with you for the remaining period. But I still advise you to not let others see him. He is an angel that can make anyone crazy. I think you have already learned that. â
Song Qian originally thought that Zhou Ping came to take the angel, so he did not expect this development and was stunned.
âStaying with me and eating my share of food was already difficult. The two of us were already in short supply, so how could I raise another mouth? Moreover, seeing him reminds me of my dead brother, and I have already learned a lesson from the past. You must not be swayed by him. â Zhou Ping said this and left with Bai Lixin.
Song Qian watched his back, and only after a long time did he react, murmuring, âTwo people? Which two people? â
A soft, waxy voice suddenly emerged from the room: âDear, I just heard Professor Zhouâs voice. Is he coming to take me away? Donât let him take me away, dear.â
Song Qian then came back to his senses and rushed back to the room, âMy baby, you can stay here without worrying. You have me.â
Zhou Ping buried himself in the laboratory and computer every day. Although the angel had gone, he still chose to live with Bai Lixin on the first floor, who was now associated with âgiving a sense of securityâ.
Bai Lixin had no choice but to let him be.
Bai Lixin had been attempting to sneak up to the main control centre, but he had only made it to the 260th floor before being stopped and was unable to go up another floor.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, and it was time for Zhou Ping to hand over the angel to the God-Emperor.
On this day, Zhou Ping came with Bai Lixin to see Song Qian again, whose expression was not as relaxed as the last time.
He knew the reason for Zhou Pingâs arrival. The angel presented the face of his lover, and parting with his lover was not so easy to do.
âCanât you give me two more days?â When Song Qian blocked the door, the big manâs voice carried a little bit of supplication.
Zhou Ping said: âAngels do not belong to anyone; they are shared by the strong. Even if you have him for a few more days, so what? Sooner or later, you will have to separate. â
In the bedroom, a softly glowing body draped in a silk nightgown slowly came out and hugged Song Qian from behind, âMy dear, I am pregnant with your child. But if you canât become strong, the God-Emperor will not approve of you and let me give birth to the baby. â
Song Qian gritted his teeth, his eyes tangled and his expression tense.
Finally, he gave the angel a deep hug and said, âWait for me. Give me a few days, and Iâm sure I can do it.â
Song Qian finally let Zhou Ping take the angel away. Zhou Ping came to the 300th floor with the angel. Only this time, he had an extra person with him â Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin also finally had a chance to see the 298th floor. Thick steel gave impermeable protection to the main control system. Leave alone a person, even an ant could not get in.
See Bai Lixinâs curiosity, Zhou Ping explained: âThe 298th floor is the main control centre of the entire kingdom. The countryâs energy field, power supply system, and water and purification systems are controlled from there. It is equivalent to the human brain. Once there is a problem here, the whole kingdom will be paralyzed. So, the main control system is a complete protection system, which is my most proud masterpiece. â
Bai Lixin nodded, âItâs excellent.â
The two came to the 300th floor, where the God-Emperor was already waiting. When he saw Zhou Ping walking in with the angel and Bai Lixin, the God-Emperor stood up from his magnificent chair. He smiled his kindest and purest smile and spread his arms.
The angel, who had been silent behind Zhou Ping, suddenly lifted the cloak over his head and ran towards the God-Emperor, putting his head close to the God Emperorâs neck and burrowing into his arms, âFather God, I am back. I missed you so much! â
From the black fog peeked out the strangely shaped snake that Bai Lixin had seen before. The snakeâs head arched affectionately against the God Emperorâs chest.
The God-Emperor stroked the snake-head for a while, then pushed him away and sat back down.
The angel also sat at the feet of the God-Emperor and leaned his head on them in a comfortable manner.
âProfessor Zhou, it seems that Eve is not to your liking either.â The God-Emperor calmed Eve, and then looked up at Zhou Ping, but out of the corner of his eye, he was staring at Bai Lixin. âIâm sorry about your brother. It was Eveâs fault. â
âIt was my brother and me who were too reckless. I actually liked Eve very much, but I really could not get over that hurdle because of my brother. I did a lot of things that hurt Eve later, so I failed to live up to the good intentions of the God-Emperor. Iâm very sorry.â
âThere is no need for modesty. Professor Zhou is the most outstanding talent in our kingdom. I heard Eve say that although he had a bad experience with you, another person gave him great enjoyment. I heard that person was Zhou Anâs subordinate, Song Qian?â
Zhou Ping half-kneeled on the ground with a bowed head and said, with a slight apology, âIt was my negligence that allowed the divine son, Eve, to be taken away. It was because I privately thought Eve would be happier with Song Qian than with me, so I let Song Qian keep him. â
The God-Emperor nodded, âI will send Song Qian to the front line of the next mission. Once he has won the battle, I will let him take over your brotherâs duties. Professor Zhou thinks Song Qian is suitable for the title of general?â
âSong Qian has always been the most capable of Zhou Anâs men, and his strength is not inferior to Zhou Anâs. He is a poison power user, but although he is not one of the five elements, his strength is strong. In addition, his leadership ability is very strong, and he can completely convince the public. â
The God-Emperor smiled and nodded, âGood, very good. I am very pleased that Professor Zhou is dedicated to the Kingdom. This is the first time I have seen the person behind you. Will Professor Zhou introduce him to me? â
âThis is my bodyguard, Lu Feng, a physical power user.â Zhou Pingâs voice was extremely light, and his tone did not have a hint of ups and downs.
The God-Emperor looked at Bai Lixin a few more times before nodding, âOkay, you go back. Since even Eve couldnât conquer you, I wonât force you in the future. â
Zhou Ping and Bai Lixin bowed and then left.
Seeing the two leave, the God-Emperor chuckled and stroked Eveâs protruding snake head. âWhat should come is still coming. Only, I didnât expect it to be so weakâ¦â
â In these two months, I managed to completely turn Song Qian into my puppet. He will do whatever I tell him to do.â
âWell done, little one.â The God-Emperor stroked the forehead of the little snake and smiled gently, âThen let Song Qian go to the front line and become the leader of the group.â
