Leng Advances to Godhood

Another month or so passed, and Ximen Lang gradually grew accustomed to life in Sky City.

During the day, he fought with Leng and the others; in the evening, he studied the urgently needed knowledge with Little Zhi Xin; at night, he dined with Leng.

He also learned what Leng had gone out to do that night.

She had flown out of the Angel Nebula to another civilization to prepare clothes for him...

It would have been a lie to say he was not touched. It was the first time in his life that a girl had treated him this way. Gradually, Ximen Lang's impression of Leng changed greatly.

He also learned how to get along with this tsundere Little Angel.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Eat, eat, eat—you only know how to eat! Eating can't increase your strength anyway. Wouldn't it be better to spend this time training a little longer?"

"No!"

"Hmph!" Although Leng was extremely dissatisfied, she still went back ahead of him to prepare dinner for Ximen Lang.

It was time to study with Little Zhi Xin again.

Today, Ximen Lang did not leave with Little Zhi Xin as he usually did.

Instead, he called out to Angel Leng, who was about to leave.

"What? Don't waste time. After I finish making your food, I still have to go train!"

"Don't rush, Little Angel."

"What did you call me?!"

Seeing that Leng was about to blow her top, Ximen Lang hurriedly dropped the subject. Under the curious gazes of the three angels, Ximen Lang took out a Devil Fruit.

That was right. It was the Ice Fruit.

Heaven knew how much suffering Ximen Lang had endured to obtain this hard-won Devil Fruit.

"Here. Since you've served your master so diligently, I'll give you this Devil Fruit."

At the end, he even boldly patted Leng on the cheek.

"Don't say I don't take care of you."

"You!" Leng was provoked by Ximen Lang.

Unfortunately, she had only just raised her hand when Ximen Lang had already hidden behind Little Zhi Xin and Yan.

"You don't know a good thing when you see it! That's a Devil Fruit! It's the only one in the world!"

"What use does this thing have?" Leng asked, weighing the Devil Fruit in her hand.

"I can't say exactly how much it will increase your strength, but it will definitely be very powerful."

"Tch! It's just a little fruit. How powerful can it be?"

Compared to Leng's disdain and Yan's confusion, Little Zhi Xin appeared somewhat excited.

She knew just how precious the little fruit in Leng's hand was. She was about to tell Leng to let her study it first, but Leng unexpectedly took a huge bite right away!

Having no choice, Zhi Xin could only open Angel's Eye and record everything. At the same time, she initiated a communication with Queen Keisha and Queen He Xi.

The reckless Leng had just bitten into the Devil Fruit when, in the next second, a strange taste rose in her mouth.

"Am I eating shit?!"

Just as she was about to spit it out, Ximen Lang had already reached Leng first and clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Don't spit it out! If you do, all your effort will be wasted!"

Gulp.

Leng swallowed it.

"You tricked me?!"

Leng swung a fist at Ximen Lang, but before it could even hit him—

The temperature around them rapidly plummeted at a terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, thick layers of ice had already formed on the ground within ten thousand meters of Leng.

The range continued spreading outward at a terrifying speed.

Fifty thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters...

Keisha and He Xi, inside the Angel Temple, were also dumbfounded. This Devil Fruit actually had such tremendous power!

Although it was nothing to the two of them,

one had to understand that this was merely a casual strike from Leng! And she had only just eaten it. There was still the Fruit Awakening to come!

Seeing Keisha still standing there in a daze, He Xi was furious.

"What are you still spacing out for?! At this rate, are we going to keep Sky City or not?"

"Oh, right!" Keisha finally came to her senses.

She hurriedly summoned Sky City's energy barrier and enclosed Leng within it.

Whether intentionally or otherwise, Queen Keisha did not exclude Ximen Lang from the area...

Several hours later, Ximen Lang finally regained consciousness.

Crack.

The ice covering his body shattered under Ximen Lang's power. Finally coming back to life, Ximen Lang immediately went to settle accounts with Leng.

"You crazy woman, were you trying to kill me?!"

The next second, he felt a warm embrace.

Leng threw herself into Ximen Lang's arms. Before Ximen Lang could react, Leng lightly pecked his lips.

It was cold and cool. So this was what kissing felt like.

The two were still enjoying their intimacy when a voice dripping with jealousy came from the side.

"Well, well, are you two planning to put on a blockbuster in Sky City? Let me remind you: aside from the angels who are out, basically everyone in Sky City is here."

Thud.

Leng, who had just come back to her senses, pushed Ximen Lang to the ground.

Outside, a group of Little Angels were chattering excitedly as they discussed the scene.

"Look, that's Sister Leng's dream man!"

"The two of them are kissing!"

"Wow, how romantic!"

Hearing the voices around her, the tips of Leng's ears turned completely red. She glared fiercely at the Little Angels and shouted,

"What are you looking at?! Don't you have to train?"

"Do we really have to train?" That irritating voice could only belong to Yan.

In the end, Queen Keisha had to give the order before the Little Angels who were watching the excitement finally withdrew.

Seeing Ximen Lang still lying on the ground, Leng walked over and helped him up. She carefully straightened his collar, her face flushed as she said,

"Let's go. We're going to see Queen Keisha."

Yan teased from the side,

"Tsk, tsk. You've become a virtuous wife and mother already? That's a pretty quick change."

Rarely, Leng did not argue with Yan. She pulled Ximen Lang toward the Angel Temple.

"You two are really something!" Yan could not stand watching any longer. Once was enough for her to endure this public display of affection; too much would make her sick.

"He can fly now, can't he? Why are you still pulling him along? If you want to be affectionate, wait until you get back and take your time. You're about to see Queen Keisha. Can't you two pay a little attention to your image?"

Hearing this, Leng and Ximen Lang were also stunned.

That was right. He could fly now. There was no need for her to pull him along anymore.

Leng tentatively released Ximen Lang's hand. Ximen Lang flapped his wings, and with a whoosh, he flew forward.

With Leng accompanying him, he frolicked to his heart's content for quite a while before Yan urged them toward the Angel Temple.

It was no wonder Ximen Lang was so excited. This was flying—the dream of humanity for thousands of years! To soar freely through the sky... How exhilarating was that?

After composing himself, he arrived at the Angel Temple. The moment he entered, He Xi pulled Leng away to perform various examinations.

Finally, under the curious gazes of everyone present, Queen He Xi announced the results of the examination.

From this day onward, Leng had completely advanced to the Third Generation God Body.
