"Can you understand these materials?"
Inside the jury's lounge, one juror asked with a frown.
"Stop looking. It's better if we can't understand them, otherwise the military might drag us off to sign some agreement!"
One of the older jurors reminded them.
"That's true! So how should we rule?"
"This isn't an official trial anyway. Just follow the verdict we had planned."
After putting on an act and sitting around for half an hour, the jury and judge got up and left the lounge.
"Bang! All rise! This court will now announce its verdict!"
The judge announced loudly, then picked up a document and began reading.
"This court finds Colonel Leina guilty of assaulting General Lin Xiao. She shall compensate Major General Lin for all losses and receive one disciplinary penalty!"
"Major General Lin's compensation demands are upheld. They shall take effect from the date of sentencing. This ruling is final! Court is adjourned!"
After the judge finished reading, a written disciplinary notice was delivered to Leina, along with another document listing the compensation requirements.
After reading the list, Leina lost her composure again. She stood up and shouted.
"Your Honor, I object! Why is there another condition here? What the hell is this about assisting Major General Lin with his experiments?"
"Oh? Colonel Leina, that is a newly added request from Major General Lin. This court finds it reasonable and justified!"
"Damn it, fine, forget that one. But Constant Heart Energy Drive Technology isn't something I can just hand over. Since you want me to follow Earth's rules, then you must also follow the rules of our Fierce Sun Civilization."
Leina felt aggrieved. She had only lost a little ball, yet she had to pay such a huge price. She absolutely could not casually give away that technology, or Pan Zhen would definitely confine her.
"What rules? Let's hear them. If they're reasonable and Major General Lin refuses to accept them, then it won't be your problem."
"Constant Heart Energy Drive Technology can never be passed on to outsiders. If he wants the technology, it's simple—marry me and marry into the Fierce Sun Civilization. I can give it to him immediately!"
Leina was going all out. The Super Soldier Company soldiers were watching behind her, so she proposed what she believed was an impossible condition. In the Fierce Sun Civilization, marrying into a wife's family was something that disgraced eighteen generations of one's ancestors.
"Holy shit, is the captain proposing to Major General Lin?"
"This is more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster!"
"Guys, send those gifts! What a plot twist—the goddess is proposing!"
"Quiet, quiet. Major General Lin, can you accept this condition?"
"Hahaha, how could he possibly agree to something so humiliating? He dared bully this goddess—did he really think this goddess was so easy to bully?"
Leina finally regained some confidence and launched into a frenzy of mockery.
However, Lian Feng and Qi Lin's faces darkened. This idiotic goddess was not only giving away the technology, but herself as well?
On Earth, marrying into a wife's family was never a big deal to begin with, especially for someone as unconventional as Lin Xiao.
Just as the two women expected, Lin Xiao, who had been lying facedown, sprang to his feet in an instant. The delight on his face could not have been greater.
"I accept! Leina, when are we getting married? Should we hold it on Earth, or in the Fierce Sun Civilization?"
"Lian Feng, hurry up and spread the good news. Send the recording of what Leina said to the Super God Academy, the angels, the Styx, and the demons. Publicize this happy event properly."
"Bastard! Are you serious?"
Lian Feng's face truly darkened. She had already marked Lin Xiao as hers, yet Leina had actually swooped in and stolen him.
"Lian Feng, Qi Lin, think carefully about Earth's current situation. Why aren't you going?"
The moment they heard Lin Xiao's words, the two women understood. Setting aside their personal feelings, if this succeeded, Earth would gain a powerful ally.
Instead of the current situation, where the Fierce Sun Civilization merely provided symbolic assistance and had only sent the unreliable Leina.
Lian Feng stopped talking and immediately turned around, running toward the Super God Academy office building.
Before Wanderer left, she needed him to spread the news. The current De Nor had no way to broadcast news across the entire universe.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao grinned as he sidled up to Leina and wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
"Leina, you're my fiancée from now on! When are you taking me to meet my father-in-law?"
"I... I... I fainted!"
Leina really did faint. She had finally reacted. In the past, Sun Quan had lost both his wife and his troops; now she, Leina, had lost both her technology and herself. The blow was a little too much!
"What a fragile heart. You fainted just like that? Carry her back! Ow, my poor back—this divine body is fucking heavy."
Lin Xiao was embarrassed. He had wanted to carry Leina back, only to discover that he could not lift her. The density of a divine body was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, he realized that if they ever tried some lotus-position nonsense in the future, would he not get crushed to death by her butt?
"Qi Lin, come help me lift her!"
"Hmph."
Qi Lin snorted coldly, but she still helped Lin Xiao carry Leina into the laboratory.
That dormitory was probably no longer livable. They would live in the laboratory from now on; they just needed to renovate the rest area.
At noon, Lian Feng returned with lunch. Lin Xiao rushed over at once and gave her a big hug.
"How did it go? Did you settle that blue-skinned old man?"
"After Wanderer confirmed the video, he agreed. The fact that it was this easy means he thinks highly of you. Stop calling him an old man. Show some respect."
Lian Feng was in a good mood. She placed the food on the table, then looked at the newly renovated laboratory and asked in surprise.
"Did you redecorate? Are you planning to live in the laboratory?"
"Of course. We can't live in that dorm anymore. It's not safe. If someone throws a few missiles in there next time, we'll all be done for. By the way, has Wanderer left?"
"Mm. He's already gone. The Super God Academy headquarters recalled him. They said they wouldn't participate in any civilization's war. Du Kao's influence doesn't work anymore."
"Hmph, he probably saw this place was a giant whirlpool and didn't dare get involved. Is there still material aid?"
Lin Xiao ate his meal without a care, expressing disdain for the Super God Academy's cowardly retreat.
"Wanderer said there was no problem with that. Your influence is more effective than Du Kao's now. Qi Lin, come eat too!"
Qi Lin, who had been watching over the equipment, walked over. Her expression was still not very good; after all, she was an Earth girl.
Unlike Lian Feng, who pursued the idea of love lasting forever, Earth's view of romance was to cherish the brilliance of the present. How could she accept Lin Xiao agreeing to marry into Lie Yang Star?
"Lin Xiao, are you really going to marry that goofy goddess? What am I supposed to do? Have you forgotten your promise?"
"Don't get worked up. How could I really marry over there? It's just a title. Once the news spreads, Lie Yang Star will be tied to our chariot. They won't be able to choose another camp."
That goofy goddess was quite pretty, and Lin Xiao did not mind having another body pillow. But actually marrying into Lie Yang Star was impossible.
"Hmph, then what are you planning to do with that goofy goddess? And don't you think it's humiliating?"
Qi Lin was still dissatisfied with Lin Xiao's answer and pressed him relentlessly.
"Mm... make her a body pillow!"
"You bastard! I'm not eating!"
"Ow!"
Qi Lin threw down her food, stomped hard on Lin Xiao's foot, and ran off. Lin Xiao hurried after her.
Lian Feng ate alone. She would not pursue titles or formal status, nor did she have Earth's concept of monogamy. A powerful man was never short of women around him.
She would not seek some title. After ten thousand years, how many people would even remember such things? Being together was enough.
"Qi Lin, slow down!"
Qi Lin had super genes and ran incredibly fast. Lin Xiao only caught up with her in a small grove.
"Why are you chasing me? Go back and keep Lian Feng and Leina company."
"How should I put it? I'm an Earthling, and my true love will only ever be given to an Earthling. Do you understand?"
Lin Xiao grabbed Qi Lin. Perhaps his emotional intelligence had improved recently, because he actually said something like that.
"Are you trying to use those words to fool me again? Do you really think I'm a little girl?"
Qi Lin was genuinely moved by those words. Lian Feng and Leina were aliens, while she had an absolute advantage. But on the surface, she still looked extremely angry.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Qi Lin waited for Lin Xiao to coax her some more, but he stood there with a conflicted expression and did nothing for a long while.
"To prove it, I've decided to give you my most precious thing."
"What?"
After saying that, Lin Xiao pounced like a tiger and knocked Qi Lin into the grass beside them.
"Lin Xiao, what are you doing?!"
"I'm proving it!"
The grass suddenly went quiet. But before long, it began to sway gently.
