After hearing Wang Zheng's words, Wang Shengrong also pulled his wife aside and tried to persuade her as well.
"I think Xiao Zheng did a good job. He has the ability to help the country. Putting aside the great contributions he has made, Principal Chu values Xiao Zheng so much. If Xiao Zheng is in trouble, does he really just ignore him?"
Besides, nothing bad has happened yet. The child is grown up and will definitely have his own ideas. He is more capable than you and me now. He has made such a great contribution in Yunnan. You should be happy.
"You don't expect to keep your son by your side forever, do you?"
Seeing his father stand up for himself for the first time, Wang Zheng secretly gave his dad a thumbs up.
When Li Liang saw that Wang Shengrong not only didn't stand with her but also spoke up for her son, her eyebrows immediately shot up.
After seeing that his father had already drawn all the fire away from him, Wang Zheng decided to add fuel to the fire.
After clearing his throat twice, he continued:
"Dad, Mom, I've thought a lot about this huge change in Yunnan, and I have a plan in mind."
When Wang Shengrong saw Wang Zheng speak, he thought his son's cover had come, and he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
'He's truly my own son; all the pampering I've given him hasn't been for nothing.'
Once both of them turned to look at him, Wang Zheng abruptly changed the subject.
"The turmoil that has occurred in Yunnan is unlikely to subside anytime soon, and there may be some special agreement among the many demon kings."
This incident is extraordinary; it will likely cause quite a stir, both for the country and for the Demon King.
I've made up my mind that I won't risk going to the battlefield again until I reach a higher level. I gained a lot this time, and it should be enough for me to digest it for a long time.
Moreover, the way Bart, my dad's comrade-in-arms from the 'Mountain Man', suffered the backlash from his genetic attack after his outburst was truly frightening.
After the outburst, he burned his life force with all his might, unable to replenish it from the outside. He died as soon as he burned it all, with no room for recovery.
Furthermore, even someone as powerful as the principal had his brain core shattered by a group of demon kings attacking him, so I want to make a promise with my dad.”
"Agreement?"
Li Liang and Wang Shengrong were both puzzled.
"Yes, it's a promise!"
As Wang Zheng spoke, he used Holy Light to replenish Wang Shengrong's life force.
The power of the level eight holy light was indeed greatly enhanced. Only a dozen or so beams were released, yet they filled Wang Shengrong's bottomless pit.
Seeing Wang Shengrong's satisfied expression, as if he had been given a new lease on life, Wang Zheng continued to explain:
"If you want me to use Holy Light to help Dad participate in the Heavenly Demon Plan, then Dad you must promise me that if everything goes smoothly and the hidden ailment is eliminated after awakening, you cannot go to the battlefield to mingle."
If you don't agree, I'll abandon this plan and have someone else come to Old Master Gu's side.
Anyway, the government has a complete list of gene warriors, and as an irreplaceable test subject, they certainly won't refuse my requests.
The thought of you dying on the battlefield is something I will never forgive myself for.
If you're not willing, then I'll just continue supporting you like this for the rest of your life.
Wang Shengrong: ? ? ?
He slammed his hand on the table, about to explode.
"You little brat, you think you're all grown up now? I just spoke up for you, and this is how you treat your old man?"
Hey, I really am...
Before Wang Shengrong could even unleash his anger, his grievances were immediately silenced by Li Liang's glare.
Li Liang took Wang Zheng's hand and patted it gently.
"Xiao Zheng, you've really grown up now. You know how to care about your parents. I fully support your proposal. It's decided then and there. I agree on behalf of your father."
But precisely because of this, you also need to think about it from the other side: if something happened to you on the battlefield, we would also…”
Upon hearing the topic shift back to him, Wang Zheng immediately made a pledge.
"Mom, don't worry, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will never step onto the battlefield again until I reach the Mortal Realm! Even if I do go in the future, I will be extremely careful, and I will retreat immediately if there is any problem!"
Seeing Li Liang beaming with satisfaction, Wang Shengrong grumbled discontentedly.
"What's the difference between not being able to go anywhere and being like this? We're just wasting our lives at home anyway, so what difference does it make whether we wake up or not..."
Li Liang's eyebrows immediately stood up.
"Judging from your tone, you really want to die out there?"
Will we, a widow and her child, be left alone at home then?
If you really think there's no difference, then you shouldn't participate in the experiment at all!
Seeing that his mother was about to get angry again, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up and he immediately came up with a wicked idea.
Thinking about the plan he had just finalized before going home, he smiled and said:
"It's not like we can't go anywhere."
If you feel like you have nothing to do, why not come and teach at Jingnan University?
I believe I still have some influence with the principal.
Moreover, with your strength, you certainly won't be too weak after awakening. You'd be more than qualified to be a practical instructor at our school..."
