The Return of The Lord God
As the God-Emperor said, Song Qian was deliberately appointed to participate in the next battle. He was the decisive factor in killing the zombies and achieved remarkable battle achievements. The God-Emperor granted him the title of General, and he took over Zhou Anâs position, exercising what was once Zhou Anâs rights.
Not long after Song Qian became general, the God-Emperor summoned him and asked him to have offspring. The name Song Qian blurted out was âEveâ.
âEve is still waiting to give birth, all because of your work.â The God-Emperor snorted coldly and summoned Eve with a single move.
Song Qian looked at Eveâs big belly and his loverâs face. His eyes were in a trance, and his face was filled with happiness.
The God-Emperor nodded, satisfied with the result, âWait a few more days when Eve has finished giving birth. Then you can come back.â The God-Emperor was satisfied with Song Qianâs ability. Poison always kills invisibly, which is great for assassination.
Song Qian looked at Eve several times before he gritted his teeth and agreed to hold back for a few days.
Ten days later, the God-Emperor fulfilled his promise and summoned Song Qian, letting him take away Eve, whose belly was now flat. Before leaving, Eve nodded to the God-Emperor, whose meaning was self-evident, and then followed Song Qian away, wearing a dark cloak.
â¦â¦
In the room, spring was in the air, and after a tender and loving moment, Eveâs weak and boneless arms wrapped around Song Qianâs neck, and he said with a smile, âHoney, the God-Emperor is so good to us. Donât you think so?â
Song Qianâs face was flushed and his eyes were misty as he nodded, âYes.â
âThere were several other generals who asked for me by name the other day, but the God-Emperor didnât even agree.â
âThe God-Emperor has treated me well. I will not forget his kindness.â
âThe God-Emperor thinks of us in every way, but we canât share the worries of the God-Emperor. When I was waiting to give birth on the 300th floor, I often heard the God-Emperor sighing with worry. â
Song Qian frowned and looked into his âloverâsâ eyes, âWhat worries the God-Emperor?â
âSomeone is plotting a rebellion in this tower.â
Song Qianâs voice rose sharply, âHow could such a thing happen? The God-Emperor is unrivalled in strength since he knows someone is plotting a rebellion, why not just kill the person? â
âBecause that person is none other than the founding minister who built this kingdom â Professor Zhou. Floor 298 buildingsâ security systems and control systems were designed by Professor Zhou. No, not only there, this whole city was designed by Professor Zhou in the first place. Although Professor Zhou had told the God-Emperor the control centre system key, he did not tell anyone the source code to write the program. The God-Emperor canât kill him even if he wanted to. The source code needs to be re-entered every three days. Once it fails, this whole base will be paralyzed. The energy field will no longer shield us, the air will no longer be purified, and the gas outside will kill us. â
âThe God-Emperor canât use his spiritual power to make Professor Zhou spit out the source code?â
âProfessor Zhou is an S-grade brain power. He can resist for a while. Moreover, if the God-Emperor uses spiritual power, it will make Zhou Pingâs brain cells forget somethings. If he forgets that string of source code, the consequences are unimaginable. â
Song Qian frowned, âSo what can I do for the God-Emperor?â
âI remember you said that you have a toxin that can directly enter a personâs brain through foreign objects. Not only can it retain the brainâs activity, but it can also make that person unaware that they are already under your control. Isnât that right?â
âAre you referring to the puppet poison?â There is indeed such a toxin, but it can only be transmitted through blood and sexual intercourse. But once the puppet poison enters the body, then that body is mine. â
âDonât do it sexually, Iâd be jealous.â The angel squirmed a little and pouted, âHow about we do it through the blood?â
âReally? But heâs still General Zhou Anâs brother after all.â
âHeâs also Zhou Anâs murderer!â Eve sneered, âItâs his fault Zhou An is dead. Zhou Ping is so ambitious and is stirring up trouble in the dark. If he succeeds in his rebellion, our newly settled kingdom will have many people die. You will see a river of blood and flesh, which is something you and I wouldnât want to see. The God-Emperor dare not kill him, because it would traumatize the artificials greatly. My dear, let us share some of the God-Emperorâs worries.â
Song Qian pondered for a few more seconds before nodding, âOkay, baby, I promise you.â
â¦â¦
Zhou Ping was walking down the corridor when a cold light suddenly flashed by, and Zhou Ping was unable to dodge it. He got a cut on his arm and on the ground lay a sparkling knife.
A dark shadow suddenly dashed over the corridor. At the same time, Zhou Ping heard a loud shout not far away, âProfessor Zhou beware!â
In the distance, Song Qian, who had just been promoted to the rank of general, came galloping over. The dark shadow was moving to kill Zhou Ping when it saw Song Qian. Its movements paused before it turned around and ran away.
Song Qian hurried over and saw Zhou Pingâs bleeding arm. He rushed forward to hold his arm and carefully covered his wound. âProfessor Zhou, are you okay?â
Zhou Ping coldly drew back his arm and hid it behind him, âA small injury. Who was that?â
Song Qian hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but finally spoke with embarrassment, âAlthough I was promoted to general, the deterrent effect is not strong enough. General Zhou Anâs gallantry remains in the hearts of many people, so they do not obey me as the chief and also somewhat resent you.â
Zhou Pingâs indifferent expression revealed a faint sadness, and Song Qian hurriedly said, âProfessor Zhou, itâs not your fault.â
âI know, just handle it. Iâll go back to treat the wound first. â The blood on his arm was flowing and Zhou Ping nodded his head to Song Qian before leaving.
Song Qian saw Zhou Ping leave, and he rubbed his fingers. A drop of light golden liquid that was hard to see with the naked eye slowly shrank back into his poresâ¦â¦
Bai Lixin saw the injury on Zhou Pingâs arm at a glance, and his expression became worried. He hurriedly took the medicine box out and walked over, pressing Zhou Ping on the chair. âWhat happened?â
âNothing. I ran into an assassin in the corridor.â
âThere could be assassins in the high tower?â
âHeâs a power user from Zhou Anâs old division. Heh, I didnât know that my brother raised such a group of loyal men. Iâm not as good as him. â
Bai Lixin carefully treated Zhou Pingâs wound. His eyes were firmly fixed on the wound, but his mouth said, âProfessor Zhou, you still have me.â
Zhou Ping chuckled but did not say anything else. He just lowered his eyes to stare at Bai Lin treating his wounds, his indifferent eyes blazing.
âAlthough Song Qian has become the general, he is still young and cannot convince the public. Some people have already started to move, and I donât believe Song Qian can change the situation any time soon. â
âIf it werenât for Song Qianâs inability to convince the public, no one would have come to seek revenge on you. In the end, itâs still his problem. You must really admire him to stick up for him like this. â
âI often heard Zhou An mention him. He was the one person closest to Zhou An except me. Zhou An has never treated Song Qian as a subordinate, only as a brother. So, in my opinion, he is the best person to be general. I would rather let Zhou Anâs brother take his position than his enemy. â
âIs this Professor Zhouâs way of atoning for his sins?â
âSort of.â
âThe one Professor Zhou admires so much is the former Song Qian. Have you forgotten who is staying by his side now? As long as one is dabbling with that viper Eve, even the sanest person will lose his mind. â âYou are a good lesson.âBai Lixin silently spat at the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Ping gave a bitter smile and said, âI understand all you mean, but drinking hemlock can only quench your thirst.â
While talking, Bai Lixin had already treated Zhou Pingâs wound. Zhou Ping had hurt his arm, so it was inconvenient to bathe himself. Bai Lixin decided to wipe Zhou Pingâs face and body with a towel.
The warm towel brushed his cheek with a comfortable and moderate strength. Through the towel, Zhou Ping felt the shape of Bai Lixinâs palm.
Although still separated by a towel, Zhou Ping felt like it was Bai Lixinâs hand wherever the towel pressed, igniting a small fire.
In just a few moments, he was already hot and trembling.
Bai Lixin continued to wipe him down. Fearing that his abnormality would be discovered, Zhou Ping roared: âOkay! That is enough. I can do the rest by myself. â
Bai Lixin smiled and did not say anything. He just put the towel down and went out of the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Zhou Ping walked out of the bathroom with a red face.
He looked at Bai Lixin, who was sitting at the table packing things, and his throat was strained with some sour taste. No matter how much despair he was in, this person would appear just in time to find him, relieve his lonely soul and let him climb out of the abyss of hell little by little.
Countless images flashed through his mind and disappeared quickly. They were so fast that Zhou Ping couldnât even remember what those images were. He didnât know why, but once he saw Bai Lixinâs quiet figure sitting in a corner, his mind and body felt extraordinarily peaceful. As long as he sat here, he believed that he would always wait for him and would never give up on him. Zhou Ping could not explain that feeling of complete trust and peace of mind.
Zhou Pingâs heart was having mixed feelings, and he walked to Bai Lixin. He looked at the side of his face that was softened by the light and whispered: âIf we can leave here alive one day, I want to be with you, Lu Feng.â
Lu Feng stiffened, obviously not expecting Zhou Pingâs sudden words of love.
He looked at Zhou Ping in surprise. His surprise gradually turned into a blush under Zhou Pingâs serious gaze. Then Lu Feng whispered, âThere will be a day when we shall leave here, Professor Zhou.â
Zhou Ping was delighted to hear this, âYou mean you agree?â
Lu Fengâs cheeks became even more flushed.
Before this, Zhou Ping had never thought that a man who did not possess a feminine appearance could be so seductive when he smiled.
The light was dim, hitting Lu Fengâs face and hair, haloing him in a thin layer of light.
Zhou Ping could not help himself as he slowly approached Lu Feng with his eyes closed and kissed his lips.
