At first, Li Xinyue was just giving up, but as time went on, she really did rot away, like a lump of mud, lying softly on the bed, not wanting to move a single finger.
"I've wasted over twenty years of my life!"
She lay lazily in bed until the next morning, her mind filled with memories of the previous night. Only now did she realize that although she said she was repaying a favor, she hadn't actually suffered any loss.
Apart from the initial pain, she felt no discomfort at all; on the contrary, she experienced unprecedented joy.
Li Xinyue is a person with a bit of a moral fastidiousness and doesn't like owing people things. In this matter, she felt that she hadn't suffered a loss, so she naturally couldn't repay the favor. Therefore, she still feels that she owes Zhang Lin a lot...
Zhang Lin was naturally unaware of her mindset; otherwise, given his personality, he would have certainly taken advantage of her and made wildly demanding requests of her.
But Zhang Lin didn't know that he felt Li Xinyue had just become his woman, and it wasn't appropriate to bring up some of the more intimate things she did...
If he knew, he would probably be very regretful, realizing he had unknowingly missed out on so much...
Three poles in the sun.
Li Xinyue remained lying in bed, unwilling to move. Her physical attributes were high enough that she wouldn't be unable to recover. She simply didn't know how to face Zhang Lin's other women, so she hid in her room like an ostrich.
To Li Xinyue's surprise, An Qingge, heavily pregnant, came to find her at noon, bringing her food.
This surprised Li Xinyue, who had thought Zhang Lin's household would be like the one in "Empresses in the Palace".
An Qingge is very kind.
This put Li Xinyue at ease, and she then started chatting with An Qingge.
In fact, An Qingge was also out of options.
Among Zhang Lin's many women, there were some who didn't submit to her, such as Xia Xiaonuan and Jin Sina.
Suddenly, another Li Xinyue appeared, and her strength might not be inferior to Xia Xiaonuan and Jin Sina...
Of course she had to come and see.
After talking with her, it turned out that Li Xinyue was very naive; she was just trying to repay a debt of gratitude and wouldn't threaten her position in the slightest.
An Qingge was relieved, and then became even more amiable towards Li Xinyue.
Why……
It can only be said that, at a certain stage, women are naturally adept at domestic power struggles.
However, An Qingge understands Zhang Lin very well and never does anything that Zhang Lin dislikes. Zhang Lin is also very oblivious and doesn't notice An Qingge's various little tricks towards women.
In Zhang Lin's view, his private quarters had always been a place of joy and harmony.
Men are indeed a bit slower to understand this aspect.
Moreover, Zhang Lin never worries about these things; what he worries about most now is the matter of the gods.
“While you were gone, the gods frequently spied on this passage; I could sense it!” The city lord said to Zhang Lin in the spacious underground hall, “But because of your presence, they dared not open the passage.”
That being said, the city lord was also very worried. "What if one day, a god suddenly appears who is not afraid of death and uses the last spot you have? Then there really won't be any way to deal with it."
More importantly, Zhang Lin had previously learned from the two gods, Flash Thirty-Seven and Scorching Twenty-Five, that the gods in this generation did not intend to directly annihilate humanity.
They tried many methods, but the world would restart if humanity were to die out. To avoid the world restarting, they decided to exterminate most of humanity, leaving only a small, harmless group of people who had surrendered to the gods.
For the city lord, this was even more unbearable than the direct extermination of humanity.
Humanity may go extinct, but a restart is possible. Given enough time, there will eventually be an opportunity to completely resolve the issues of gods and the apocalypse.
But the gods have now changed their strategy.
According to their methods, although some humans may survive, they will forever become slaves of the gods, forever living only by the gods' charity. If their numbers increase, they will also face persecution from the gods, and only a small portion of them will be able to barely survive.
In particular, according to the gods' plan, only a portion of the weak and prone to surrendering humans would be left behind. Therefore, people like Zhang Lin and the city lord, who are strong and have a strong backbone, would definitely be killed by the gods.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of humanity as a whole or from the perspective of individual lives, resolving the threat posed by the gods is the most urgent matter for Zhang Lin and the city lord.
Once inside the underground hall, Zhang Lin, with his high level of perception, could sense that someone was watching him.
There was no doubt that the gods at the other end of the passage were watching him.
"Screw you, get out of here right now, or I'll open a passage to your side and fight you to the death!"
The feeling of being stared at made Zhang Lin very unhappy, and he frowned and started cursing.
Since the gods have been watching him, they must have been able to hear him.
But the feeling of being watched did not disappear.
Zhang Lin immediately took out the God-Slaying Token and then asked the city lord to open the passage.
The city lord was a calm person, unlike Zhang Lin who had such a fiery temper. She wanted to advise Zhang Lin to be less impulsive, in case someone on the Celestial God's side got carried away and wanted to fight them to the death. But Zhang Lin just glared at her, and she didn't dare to say anything more, obediently going to open the passage.
The city lord made a move to open the passage, and only then did Zhang Lin feel the feeling of being watched disappear.
"hehe……"
Zhang Lin sneered.
He wasn't really irritable; he was just testing the gods.
The result was obvious: they were indeed watching over the human world, and they were still very afraid of death. Even though Zhang Lin only had one spot to kill a god, they were still very afraid of him.
The city lord also noticed that the feeling of being watched had disappeared, which surprised her. After all, she didn't like being watched all the time. At the same time, she sighed. She didn't have the determination to perish together with the gods, so she couldn't do anything to them, but Zhang Lin was able to intimidate them.
Turning back to Zhang Lin, the city lord said, "During this time, I have also been sending drones to search for other passages, but I haven't found any. Moreover, no other gods have descended during this period. This means that apart from this passage, the gods have no other means to freely enter and leave the human world. This means that we have more time now."
“Your analysis is good. Now I have more time to think of a solution,” Zhang Lin nodded and said.
"Do you have any other ideas?" the city lord asked in surprise.
She was out of options.
Zhang Lin nodded again. His solution was naturally to get more points and then find a way to improve things through the system.
Speaking of getting points, Zhang Lin immediately looked up at the city lord in front of him, "The gods don't dare to spy on the human world for the time being. Now I have some good news to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"
