Lian Xi, the Little Maid

So many things suddenly appeared in his mind out of nowhere, and Hua Zhen couldn't figure out the reason after pondering for a long time. So he simply ignored it. Just like before, such unbelievable things as time-traveling had already happened, so what was so strange about having more things in his head? He could study it later.

After putting this matter aside, his heart was like a pot of boiling water, so excited that it was about to overflow. Because the explanation of that so-called First Generation Super Warrior in his mind was exactly the same as what the instructor in the light energy projection said about the Second-generation Angel, except for the different names. Didn't that mean that the later Fourth Generation Divine Body and Sacred Body might also be real?

You must know that the highest technology in Angel Palace City now is only the Second-generation Angel, and there is nothing beyond that. In this way, as long as he doesn't court death in the future, he can completely rely on these theories in his mind to research more advanced technologies. Not to mention becoming a king and hegemon in Tiangong, it would definitely be no problem to gain a firm foothold.

Hua Zhen felt his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the water glass next to him and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Only when he put down the glass did he finally calm down, and then gradually frowned.

Tsk, Gus once said that Angel Palace City spent nearly ten thousand years just researching how to upgrade genes to the Second-generation Angel...

That's how technology is. The more developed it is, the more time it takes to research more advanced technology. The Second-generation Angel is like this, so what about the Fourth Generation Divine Body after that, and the Sacred Body that makes people excited to scream madly? Researching them would be more than just difficult.

"Alas. The task is arduous and the road is long~" Staring at the instructor in the projection who was speaking eloquently, Hua Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Now for another perspective.

When Gus walked out of Hua Zhen's bedroom, there was no trace of a smile on his face. Walking through the corridor and looking at the maids who were busy in the hall downstairs, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone, go outside!"

As Hua Zhen's personal guard, his status here was very high. None of the maids dared to disobey. They all put down their work and stood respectfully in the small square outside the bedroom.

Gus's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally settled on a sweet-looking female angel in her twenties. He said expressionlessly, "Ai Lin, come out!"

The maid's body trembled suddenly. She looked up at him and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to disobey. She shuffled her feet and walked out of the line.

"Do you know why I called you?" Gus walked up to her, his voice so cold that it could freeze.

"...This...This servant knows..." Ai Lin bit her lip and said tremblingly. She wanted to lie, but when the corner of her eye caught Gus's gloomy face, she gave up the idea.

"Hmph, it's good that you know!" Gus sneered and waved to the two angel guards standing guard not far away, ordering, "Take her down and deal with her!"

"Wh...what?!!" Ai Lin raised her head abruptly upon hearing this, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't accept Gus's punishment.

But she quickly came back to her senses, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, crying, "Please...Please forgive this servant, Lord Gus. This...This servant will never dare again. Please...Wuwu..."

The two guards walked up to her as if they hadn't heard anything, lifted her up and covered her mouth, then dragged her away. Their skilled movements showed that this was not the first time they had done this.

From beginning to end, Gus didn't look at her. His eyes swept over the frightened maids, and he said with a grim face, "From the first day you were selected to come to the Palace City to serve His Highness, I have already told you not to have any wishful thinking just because His Highness is young, but some people always have a fluke mentality!"

He deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting Hua Zhen to hear, "Today, I reiterate again, recognize your status and do what you should do. If I find this kind of situation again next time, not only will you be executed, but your family living in the Main City District will be punished as well. Do you all understand?"

"Yes, Lord Gus!"

Calming down the anger in his heart, Gus looked at them and pondered for a moment, then said to a little girl in the middle who looked fourteen or fifteen years old, "Lian Xi, from today onwards, you should go back to His Highness's side and continue to take care of his daily life!"

"Yes...Yes, Lord Gus!"

After dealing with some trivial matters, Gus returned to Hua Zhen's bedroom. When he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned. His...His Highness is...asleep??

Time rewinds to half an hour ago.

Hua Zhen knew his own capabilities. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Tian Cheng with the nouns in his mind, he had to first learn some theoretical basics of this era, otherwise everything would be empty talk.

Acting on a whim, he completely threw the old Angel King's birthday to the back of his mind, sat next to the 'Third Prince' in the light energy projection, and listened attentively to the explanation of the instructor on the opposite side.

In Hua Zhen's mind, how difficult could the enlightenment education of a child in their teens be, even if it was highly theoretical? He should know that he scored more than 260 in the science section of the college entrance examination, an existence that his university dormitory roommates looked up to. Wouldn't learning these things be a piece of cake?

His idea was shattered after listening for a few minutes. For example, the Dark Conversion Constancy Theory. At first, he thought it should be similar to the law of conservation of mass, but when the 'tutor' said many obscure words, he became confused and didn't know what the person was talking about at all!

After listening for more than ten minutes, Hua became more and more confused. His upper and lower eyelids kept fighting. He drank a bellyful of lake water last night, and had a long talk with Gus all night. He finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell forward heavily, snoring loudly...

"He's still just a child after all~" Gus sighed, walked over and picked him up, placing him on the small bed, and gently covered him with the quilt.

"...Little bean...Brother will be back soon...&＃%yame...snore..." Hua Zhen mumbled vaguely, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Standing by the bed, Gus stared at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but smile. Although this little master had given him a lot of trouble these days, compared to the previous lifelessness, it was much better now.

"Your Highness, Lian Xi is young and has no ulterior motives. No one in the entire palace is more suitable to take care of you than her!" he said softly.

Being a personal guard beside the Palace City prince is not as easy as imagined. The selection is very strict. Not only must one have strong strength, but also be instilled with the idea that 'nothing is more important than the prince'.

Gus secretly disposed of the maid named Ai Lin behind Hua Zhen's back, which shows this point. In his opinion, his Highness is still young, and it is the time to learn things. If he knows something he shouldn't know at this age, or tastes some sweetness, then who knows what he will become in the future.

In short, Hua Zhen must never become the second Hua Ye!! Gus thought with a slight squint.

Not knowing how long had passed, Hua Zhen's eyelids moved, and then he lazily opened his eyes. Looking at the ceiling above his head, he quickly understood what was going on, and complained with a yawn: "Ah~~ I only listened for a while, and I was knocked out. This is really not something a human can learn!"

Supporting himself with his arms, Hua Zhen sat up and looked at the light energy projection in the bedroom that had been paused. He smiled: "I have to say, this guy Gus is really careful. He's a bit nagging, but he does things thoroughly. It seems that I can't always choke him in the future~"

"Your...Your Highness, it's...it's already dinner time, do...do you want to eat something?"

A timid and cowardly voice suddenly came from the corner of the room. Hua Zhen looked towards the sound, and his face turned red in an instant. "I'll go...you...why are you here?"

The speaker was none other than Lian Xi, whom Gus had arranged to take care of Hua Zhen. Although the little girl was dressed as a maid, she had an ethereal aura. Her shy and timid appearance, coupled with her red hair, was indescribably cute and moving.

Hearing Hua Zhen's question, Lian Xi tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Re...Returning to Your Highness, Gus-daren arranged for this servant to come back to take care of your diet and daily life, so...so..."

"..."

Damn it Gus, I just praised you a few words, and you came up with this, letting her take care of my diet and daily life...What grudges do I have with you!!
