Pitiful Lianfeng

In the evening, at the Super Seminary's canteen area.

Unlike the lively and noisy common soldier's canteen, there was a relatively quiet small restaurant here, usually a place for high-ranking officials like Dukao and Lianfeng to dine.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit subtle.

Si Yao sat by the window, with several exquisite dishes placed before him, but he hadn't started eating. He merely held a cup of clear tea, his gaze calmly watching the gradually darkening night outside.

Beside him, Lena was chattering excitedly, introducing how delicious this dish was, then asking Si Yao for his opinion on the Super Seminary's food, acting like an overly enthusiastic host.

Qiangwei sat on Lena's other side, her expression somewhat helpless, but she didn't stop Lena.

Lianfeng sat opposite Si Yao, eating quietly, occasionally glancing at this peculiar combination, a wry smile forming in her heart.

In the afternoon, Lena had insisted on dragging Qiangwei to catch up with her and Si Yao.

This Lieyang Main God fully utilized her natural sociability and fearlessness of awkwardness. Coupled with Qiangwei occasionally chiming in, their "relentless pursuit" for the entire afternoon had actually eased the atmosphere between her and Si Yao considerably.

At least, Si Yao no longer showed obvious impatience, and would occasionally respond briefly to Lena's somewhat childish questions.

Thus, by dinnertime, Lena, under the guise of "hosting," had naturally pulled Si Yao into the small restaurant.

Lianfeng chose to tacitly agree to Lena's actions.

She knew Dukao's concerns. Lena's identity was too sensitive. Her contact with Si Yao could easily be interpreted as a signal by the Lieyang side, and might even arouse Pan Zhen's vigilance, fearing that Earth would ally with this mysterious old god, which would be detrimental to Lieyang.

Worse still, if Si Yao and Lieyang joined forces, or even teamed up against Sun Wukong, the Lieyang Tiandao from a thousand years ago might truly descend to Earth again.

However, in Lianfeng's view, Lena was essentially still a child.

She was full of pure curiosity about Earth and this world, with no ill intentions.

She might instinctively want to win over powerful beings like Si Yao due to her identity as the Lieyang Main God, but she would never actively harbor thoughts detrimental to Earth.

And after this period of contact, Lianfeng was basically certain that Si Yao could not be won over by any party.

His detached attitude, viewing all beings as ants, destined him not to be subservient to any civilization.

As for the risk of assisting Lieyang in attacking Earth, it did exist.

But the Lieyang side would notice Si Yao sooner or later. Rather than waiting for the cunning Guardian God Pan Zhen to come in person for contact filled with political schemes and risks, it was better to let the relatively simple-minded Lena establish a... relatively relaxed relationship with Si Yao first.

At least, Lena was the nominal Main God of Lieyang, and she had a good impression of Earth.

Even if unfavorable voices towards Earth reappeared within Lieyang in the future, having Lena's relationship might serve as a buffer, preventing the situation from immediately sliding into the worst-case scenario.

Dinner ended in a subtle and harmonious atmosphere.

Si Yao did not linger. Amidst Lena's reluctant farewell and Qiangwei's complex gaze, he was personally escorted out of the Super Seminary by Lianfeng.

The groundwork laid today was sufficient. Lianfeng had shown considerable sincerity, providing Si Yao with non-core data within her permission that could be shared, concerning the stability of Super Genes, basic energy usage, and even principles of Divine Body Structure.

In exchange, Si Yao also handed Lianfeng a gene code fragment, carefully disguised and simplified, representing the underlying logic of the "Pangu Civilization."

Every civilization that developed to a certain height would construct its own unique basic coding system, akin to the "gene code" of a civilization.

Deno, Lieyang, Angels, Demons, and even Karl of Death Song Academy, all had their core codes.

The Angels' "Sacred Code" was a prime example, complex, rigorous, and highly encrypted, almost impossible to crack without a specific "Golden Key."

This small fragment of code given by Si Yao was a product of reverse deduction and simplification based on his initially formed [Colorless Realm Divine Power].

It possessed a structural difference from the current Shenhe Technology system, sufficient to satisfy Lianfeng's curiosity as a technician.

More importantly, it solidified the existence of the fictional "Pangu Civilization" in a technological sense.

After all, for an ancient, high-level civilization to lack its own core code would be a huge joke.

Returning to the suburban villa, the night was already deep.

As Si Yao reached the villa entrance, before he could even push the door open, the cold mechanical female voice in his mind sounded again:

[Ding!]

[Your lie has made Morgana, Hexi, Angel Zhi Xin, Angel Yan, Angel Chase, Angel Mo Yi, and others believe it. The existence of "Pangu Civilization" has been deeply anchored in cognition, gaining 100,000 True Points!]

[Current True Points: 1105560]

Si Yao's steps paused slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"As expected..."

The so-called firewalls and confidentiality measures of the Super Seminary were practically non-existent in front of civilizations like Angels and Demons. They were like public restrooms, easy to enter and exit.

Before Lianfeng could even warm the code data she received from him, it was likely already thoroughly scrutinized by the Angels' Angel's Insight Eye and the Demons' Demon's Dark Information penetration technology.

Morgana, the demon leader who loved to spy, and Skybase King Hexi, who was about to arrive on Earth and was clearly paying attention to this matter, along with her student Zhi Xin, not to mention Angel Yan's team who were already near Earth...

His "stepping stone" of the "Pangu Civilization" had an unexpectedly good effect, gaining the "trust" of so many heavyweight "audience members" at once.

"Pitiful Lianfeng..."

She was probably still immersed in the excitement of obtaining "ancient civilization technology," completely unaware that her hard-earned "results" had become public information in the eyes of others.

Si Yao pushed open the villa door. The living room was dim, with only moonlight casting mottled shadows through the window.

He habitually walked towards his master bedroom, preparing to rest.

However, when he pushed open the master bedroom door, his steps halted.

In the dim moonlight, it was clear to see a small figure curled up on the spacious bed.

Su Xiao Li, wearing her slightly childish cartoon pajamas, was fast asleep, holding a pillow.

The silvery moonlight outlined her quiet side profile, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows beneath her eyelids, her breathing even and light.

She seemed to have completely made this place her territory, sleeping completely unprepared.

Si Yao: "..."

He rubbed his glabella, feeling speechless.

This little fox, she really... was treating him less and less like an outsider.

He had intended to turn back and rest in the guest room, but then he remembered that although this villa wasn't small, only he and Suo Dun had lived here before.

Suo Dun liked sleeping on the lawn in the backyard and never used a room.

Therefore, besides his own master bedroom, only the guest room Su Xiao Li was staying in had been cleaned and tidied.

If he didn't go to the master bedroom tonight, he would have to sleep in Su Xiao Li's room.

But the moment this idea surfaced, Si Yao immediately dismissed it.

With Su Xiao Li's quirky mind circuit, if she found him sleeping in her bed tomorrow morning, who knew what earth-shattering plot she would imagine?

Would it be "The boss is finally moved by me"? Or "The sugar relationship is finally entering the substantive stage"?

The thought of facing her big eyes full of "I understand" radiance, and the subsequent, even more enthusiastic "service" and more outrageous misunderstandings, gave Si Yao a headache.

Troublesome. Too troublesome.

Instead of falling into such an awkward and inexplicable situation, why not...

Si Yao decisively took a step back and gently closed the master bedroom door, not disturbing the sleeping Su Xiao Li.

He turned and walked through the living room, pushing open the glass door leading to the backyard.

The night wind was cool, carrying the scent of grass and soil.

Suo Dun, with his vast body size, lay sprawled in the middle of the lawn, his belly bulging roundly, snoring like thunder, clearly having been very satisfied with his takeout dinner.

Si Yao walked around Suo Dun and found a clean open space on the other side of the lawn, lying down on his back.

Far from the city lights, the suburban starry sky was exceptionally clear and brilliant.

The Milky Way was like a ribbon, countless stars flickering quietly, casting a chilling radiance.

The night wind blew, bringing faint insect chirps from afar, which only enhanced the surrounding tranquility.

The stars tonight were quite good...
