The Salted Fish's Struggle / He Xi's Scandalous Gossip (Part 3)

The implied meaning in the words is self-evident.

Either stand still obediently, or find Sumari to keep you company.

Although it was meant as a joke, Kevin could actually detect a hint of unease in it.

When his soft, rosy lips lightly touched his forehead, the man suddenly remembered something.

Because it is not only the tomb they built together for the fallen angels, but also the burial place of Sumari.

Immediately, Hexi raised Kevin's arm to receive the space-based battle group's sword-drawing salute.

At that moment, Kevin vaguely noticed that the way these female angels looked at him, besides a few who were unwilling and angry, also carried a sense of acceptance and submission.

Tsk, this Guardian Oath is probably not simple...

Therefore, this also means that trouble is inevitable...

Kevin sighed inwardly, his expression somewhat resentful.

The arduous memorial service has finally come to an end. The human side was the first to put aside their differences and drink heartily on the grass.

At this moment, thousands of female angels descended from the sky and the slope, receiving the highest level of hospitality.

Their beauty and unwavering commitment to their ideals make these creatures radiate a dazzling light in every move they make.

The collective radiance of the angels even overshadowed Queen Anixid and Sejuani.

After all, the attraction of female angels to males is undoubtedly fatal.

Every human knight and barbarian warrior secretly competed and desperately pushed their way to the front.

They all hoped to exchange a few words with these beautiful goddesses, or pray, like in a legendary tale, to gain the favor of the angels and spend the rest of their lives with them.

However, those humans who entertain such thoughts are destined to be disappointed.

After all, they were facing a group of elite angels from the Merlot Heavenly Court who had been retired for tens of thousands of years. These angels were detached from worldly affairs and each had their own opinions.

Unlike the younger generation under Keisha's command, who are prone to developing romantic feelings and having one or two of them easily lured away, these girls are quite different.

The limited experience and perspective of the Freyja humans were not enough to sway the calm hearts of these elderly women.

In contrast, Kevin, who was being observed by the angels like a giant panda, felt somewhat like he had thorns in his side.

With great difficulty, under Hexi's imposing presence, the two managed to escape the female angels' encirclement and reach a secluded thicket away from the noise, where they could finally catch their breath and exchange a few words.

"What's gotten into you today? Why did you suddenly pull this stunt?"

Caught off guard, Kevin leaned against the tree trunk, rolled his eyes at Hexi, and asked with a soft hum.

He prefers to plan the overall strategy and summarize information logically.

However, women's thought processes are often the least illogical.

"A gift? Didn't I mention it yesterday?"

Hexi patted her chest, still shaken, and cautiously parted the leaves like a thief, peeking out to see if she was being followed by anyone else, her previous composure completely gone.

Who knew this was what you were rambling about yesterday! I even thought the gift was just a casual joke!

Kevin rubbed his forehead in Affliction, speechless. After a moment's hesitation, he carefully nudged Hexi's shoulder and forced a dry laugh.

"I said, let's make a deal, about this thing..."

"... Can I return it?"

Hexi's body trembled, then she slowly turned her head and looked at Kevin with a smile.

"After we angels made our vows, it seems there were only widows, no one refusing..."

Why don't you give it a try?

Chapter 1063, Section 1008: The Struggle of a Salted Fish

After a few lighthearted banter, Kevin sighed, looked seriously at Hexi, who was smiling contentedly, and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Stop fooling around! We're talking serious stuff. I've taken on everything I was supposed to, so asking for a reason isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Previously, in front of the Three Northern Tribes and thousands of angels, Kevin needed to consider Hexi's dignity, so he naturally wouldn't embarrass his friend in front of everyone.

But since they were already so familiar with each other, Hexi was definitely not the impulsive type who would act recklessly on a whim. He wanted to hear the reasons why his friend had planned all of this.

Hexi closed his eyes lightly, and tapped rhythmically on his thigh with the five fingers of his right hand, the deep sound carrying a profound meaning.

"Anixid is just one option, not the only option..."

Kevin hesitated slightly, but nodded nonetheless.

It seems that this Heavenly Foundation King is somewhat wary and displeased with the omnipresent influence of the Super God Academy and their way of doing things.

With the disappearance of Queen Holy Kaisa, Hexi was not interested in supporting Anixid to the throne.

In contrast, she preferred to choose a new heir to the throne of the Merlot Heavenly Court, someone she could trust and who was most likely to turn the tide.

"I will make you... the King of All Angels!"

However, Kevin flicked Hexi's forehead away, touched his chin, and looked him up and down with suspicion.

"Something's not right! Something's not right! When did you, a lazy bum who's been living a leisurely life in the Merlot Heavenly Court, become so career-minded?"

Before Hexi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, could react, Kevin immediately raised his hands, looking like he was politely declining.

"I said, that's enough. We're all just slacking off on Earth, and you expect me to take over the Merlot Heavenly Court?"

Hexi looked surprised, her lips twitching slightly. She had forgotten that this bastard was only reliable when forced into a crisis.

Normally, when faced with a problem, this person will avoid it if possible, or skip it if possible; they are a seasoned procrastinator.

"Smack!"

Hexi slapped Kevin on the shoulder, forcefully dragging the man who was trying to sneak away back into the bushes. Her teeth were grinding, veins were bulging on her forehead, and her expression was one of utter rage and embarrassment.

"Stop talking nonsense! I've already sent them out! You're going to do it today whether you like it or not!"

These offhand, suggestive words made Kevin's mind wander, and his eyes twitched, but he dared not confront him directly.

He could tell that Hexi was driven to desperation by a series of uncontrollable changes. If he provoked her further, her words might come true today.

For Hexi, the angel's Guardian Oath was almost equivalent to unconditional trust and wholehearted dedication.

Therefore, this is also the fastest way to help Kevin, this abrupt Male Angel, eliminate past gender grudges and integrate into the Merlot Heavenly Court.

Moreover, even if female angels don't have the habit of forming cliques and establishing their own factions, they still inevitably have their own followers.

After all, as early as the time of the Three Kings, many female angels were divided into three major factions due to their Different Standpoints.

Although the Three Kings later merged, everyone lived in peace for a while.

However, during Liang Bing's defection from the Merlot Heavenly Court, this woman also took a large number of her loyal subordinates with her.

Even after the replacement of angel soldiers and the rebuilding of the ranks, not all angels respected Queen Holy Kaisa.

There are still quite a few angels lurking in the team who have feelings of goodwill and sympathy for Liang Bing, and some even reminisce about the old angels who were once a scourge.

The repeated failures in the Angel-Demon War, and the counterattack by the Old Angel King Hua Ye, have already explained everything.

For example, some of the retired angels she leads are indeed of advanced age, while others are simply emotionally weary.

However, there are also some marginalized individuals involved in cases such as Apocalypse King Liang Bing, Ruo Ning, the defector.

The Angel Leng, who stayed behind in the Merlot Heavenly Court, was always excluded from the core area because of the mark of Ruo Ning's disciple. Therefore, she took on the job of guarding the Angel Nebula.

Even if Keisha is very generous, she wouldn't feel at ease using these people.

Therefore, the entire Angel Legion is currently moving towards the new generation, with a large number of veterans being replaced in rotation.

Hexi's Guardian Oath is tantamount to handing over the control of veteran female angels who, like herself, maintain neutrality to Kevin.

In other words, he has already gained the support of the Hexi's faction on his path to becoming the King of All Angels.

If he can gain the trust of both Liang Bing and Keisha in his next actions, then this guy could become the most popular King of All Angels in history.

In that case, let alone mediating the dispute between Queen Holy Kaisa and Morgana, it probably wouldn't be difficult to even hold them down and spank them.

After realizing his old friend's plan to sell him off, Kevin, with a bitter face, raised his hands in surrender.

"We're already so close, can you please not try to trick me?"

"We just want some peace and quiet for a few days, but your place is a living hell!"

"Besides, why me? You could do it yourself."

Hexi rolled her eyes, pointed to her nose, and responded irritably.

"If I had a way, I would have hung those sisters up and beaten them tens of thousands of years ago!"

Immediately, the Heavenly Foundation King, with a solemn expression, gripped Kevin's hand tightly.

"In the past, I didn't understand what the two sisters were thinking; they always seemed hesitant and indecisive when making choices."

"And it is precisely because of my lack of ambition that the Merlot Heavenly Court has split to this point today."

"Now that Keisha has compromised with the Super God Academy and nominated Anixid as a candidate, why should I let them cause trouble?"

"After all, even the worst choice is better than no choice at all!"

Hexi paused, his eyes flashing back to the scene of that figure picking up a hairpin in the Howling Abyss and delivering it all the way to the merchant's daughter. His expression became more serious than ever before.

"I don't believe in the Super God Academy, I only believe in you!"

If such a person could become the King of All Angels, it would actually be a good thing.

Kevin has always been the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Since things have been said to this extent, what else could he do but not disappoint his friend's expectations and reluctantly agree to the terms?

Of course, Kevin's choice was basically made half-heartedly.

Titan Star is now dead, and the Asgardian Realm has been reduced to ashes.

Of the remaining forces, the Lieyang Galaxy is a fairly solid ally, while the Styx Galaxy and the future Triangle Body will essentially be relegated to the opposing camp.

If Earth wants a peaceful and stable environment, it must maintain good external relations.

Winning over the Merlot Heavenly Court and establishing a defensive alliance between the Chiwu Star System, the Lieyang Galaxy, and the Angel Nebula aligns perfectly with his interests.

After that, no matter what mischief those restless rats get up to, Kevin can at least guarantee that his side has an absolute advantage.

Moreover, compared to the intrigues and power struggles within the Known Universe, these extraterrestrial civilizations from the void pose a far more terrifying threat.

Even the Queen Holy Kaisa compromised with the Super God Academy for this, so he must do everything he can to control more of the power of civilization.

To put it bluntly, it's better for others to be cannon fodder than for yourself to be one.

"Alright, I agree, so can you stop pretending now?"

Kevin responded irritably, lifting his wrist which Hexi was gripping tightly, and gave a light hum as a reminder.

"Pack?"

"I've already given in to the angelic vow of protection, so I'll just keep up the act."

However, at this moment, Hexi's gaze was strange, which gave Kevin a bad feeling for some reason.

The man felt the hands that were almost squeezing him into a pig's trotter before he realized what was happening, his voice hoarse.

"Are you serious?"

What do you think?

"Then I saw you wink at me in front of everyone just now..."

"Can't my eyes get sore?"

At this moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere froze.

P. S.: Two chapters for now, three more to be released tonight.

Chapter 1064, Section 1009: Hexi's Gossip (Third Update)

Two hours later, when Kevin, looking utterly dejected, was pulled out of the bushes by Hexi, a series of strange gazes were fixed on the two of them.

For some reason, the terrifying heat in those eyes almost cooked Kevin alive.
