You Can Always Believe in Me

Giant Gorge City, Qi Lin's residence. Lian Feng pressed the doorbell.

Ding-dong~ "Who is it?"

Qi Lin opened the door and, at a glance, saw Lian Feng, the beautiful woman with Golden Hair.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Lian Feng, and I belong to the Security Department. This is my identification."

Getting straight to the point, Lian Feng showed her identification.

After checking it and confirming that it was genuine, Qi Lin welcomed Lian Feng inside.

"Why are you looking for me?" Qi Lin already had a guess.

"You're special. You have the first-generation Super Gene of the God River Civilization in your body. It just hasn't awakened yet."

"A sniper?"

Lian Feng nodded.

"Yes."

"So?"

"Earth is currently facing an alien invasion and is in grave danger. Huaxia needs you to contribute your strength. Of course, it's entirely voluntary. My main purpose in coming here is to ask whether you're willing to serve a higher-level Security Department."

There was no need to choose. The righteous young lady immediately declared,

"I'm willing."

After saying this, Qi Lin frowned slightly. Lian Feng, with her sharp eyes, caught it at once.

"Is something wrong?"

"Is the alien invasion you mentioned referring to that group of mechs that appeared at Fei Liu Airport a few days ago?"

"Yes. Their name is the Taotie, and the god they worship is Death God Karl."

"How many of them are there?"

Hearing Qi Lin's question, Lian Feng sighed and asked in return,

"They're the overlords of an entire galaxy. How many do you think there are?"

That was the truth. As an underling civilization serving Karl, the Taotie truly had no rivals in the Styx Galaxy.

They even had the Giant Wolf Civilization under their command, which was also a Spacefaring Civilization.

The Taotie were only one step away from creating a god.

"Then... what about Ximen Lang? Is he an alien too?"

Lian Feng's eyes visibly brightened.

"Although it's unbelievable, we can't find any trace of him appearing on Earth. But just as he said, he really might be an Earthling. No, a god."

"A god? How does he compare to Death God Karl?"

Lian Feng carefully considered her wording.

"Death God Karl is a great god who has been famous throughout the universe for tens of thousands of years. However, Ximen Lang must not be underestimated either. He also has the Angel Civilization backing him! That's a super-civilization that suppressed the universe for tens of thousands of years during the Merlot Heavenly Court and dominated the universe for over a hundred thousand years during the Heavenly Palace Era."

Qi Lin curled her lips.

"I know. His wife is an angel. I've met her. How do they compare with the Taotie?"

"Well... let me put it this way. A squad of well-equipped angel warriors could flatten the entire Taotie Civilization. As for Ximen Lang, as long as you give him time to grow, he could destroy the Taotie with one hand!"

"Just say it. What exactly do you want me to do?"

Qi Lin wasn't stupid. There was no way she could fail to see Lian Feng's ambiguous attitude.

"The Super God Academy, Xiong Bing Lian, and the higher-ups..." Lian Feng pointed upward and continued,

"All believe that Ximen Lang is sympathetic to Earth, especially since he just blocked Demon Queen Morgana on Huaxia's behalf."

As she spoke, Lian Feng explained the demonic forces to Qi Lin and described the negotiations between Ximen Lang and Demon Queen Morgana.

"But you also know that the Super God Academy only just had a misunderstanding with him, so..."

"You want me to mediate between you?"

"Yes. Of course, as I said, it's entirely voluntary. How you handle it is up to you." At this point, even Lian Feng's face reddened slightly.

The young lady gave the blushing Lian Feng a speechless look, her thoughts in turmoil.

Mediate between them? I'm afraid it's more than that...

Ding-dong~ The doorbell rang again. The young lady shook her head, cast her chaotic thoughts aside, and got up to open the door.

As soon as she opened it, she saw a huge bouquet of bright roses.

"Ta-da!"

Well, it was Harem King Ximen Lang.

After dealing with Morgana's affairs, Ximen Lang was exhausted in body and mind. He also wanted to find someone to confide in.

Leng would have been the most suitable person, but she was an angel.

The angels at home were completely at odds with Morgana, so he could only give up on that idea.

After thinking it over, Ximen Lang thought of the young lady, Qi Lin.

He happened to pass a flower shop on the way and casually bought a huge bouquet of roses.

The young lady's expression remained blank.

"Why the gloomy face? Come on, tell me about it and make me happy."

As he spoke, he walked into the room on his own, as if he were returning to his own home, completely without reserve.

Lian Feng also stood up.

"Mr. Ximen, hello."

Ximen Lang restrained his smile and nodded, which counted as a greeting.

"Looks like I came at a bad time."

"No, my conversation with Miss Qi Lin is already over. I was just about to take my leave."

Lian Feng nodded at Qi Lin, pushed open the door, and left without hesitation.

"What? That was a great beauty, and you just let her leave like that? Aren't you supposed to become the Harem King?"

The mockery came from Miss Qi Lin.

"Please, I do want to become the Harem King, but I'm not a horse."

"Tsk!"

"Ah~"

With a long sigh, Ximen Lang practically folded himself into the sofa.

He was exhausted. As a shut-in, he really didn't like this kind of scheming.

Especially after running into Lian Feng here and remembering the trace of gloom between Qi Lin's brows when she had opened the door, he felt even more tired.

Seeing him like this, the young lady sat down on the other side of the sofa.

"Go on, tell me."

"Tell you what? I don't feel like talking."

"Tell me about Demon Queen Morgana. What did she come to Earth for?"

"Morgana? How do you know about Morgana?"

However, when he thought of Lian Feng, who had just left, Ximen Lang understood everything.

"Don't worry. I sent Morgana to the Nation of Freedom. She's given up on Huaxia."

It couldn't really be called giving up. She hadn't had any particular target to begin with. Anywhere was fine. She didn't care.

"Thank you..."

Ximen Lang gave the young lady an exasperated look and curled his lips.

"How boring. I'm leaving. Don't worry, as long as the Super God Academy doesn't target me, I'm still very easy to get along with."

It really was boring, so Ximen Lang spread his wings and flew away.

When he returned to the villa, he didn't greet anyone. He went straight to his room and collapsed onto the bed.

After a long while, Leng entered the room.

She lay down beside Ximen Lang and reached out with her small hand to smooth away his furrowed brows.

"Why didn't you tell me? If you don't tell me, how would you know that I wouldn't understand you?"

"Wife, you..."

"You said it yourself. I'm your wife, and I'm your Guardian Angel. You can refuse to believe anyone, but you can't refuse to believe me."

She wrapped her arms around Ximen Lang's neck and pulled his head into her embrace.

"You have to believe that no matter what decision you make, I'll always stand firmly behind you."

"Then, about being the Harem King..."

That bastard! "Don't even think about it! Impossible! Forget it!"
