Noon the next day.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, where two figures lay on the bed—Li Dao and He Xi.
However, at this moment, He Xi was curled up in Li Dao's chest, her silver hair was loose and translucent, radiating a shimmering glow, and her exposed skin was as tender as a baby's, her long eyelashes trembled.
Li Dao opened his eyes, feeling the soft, jade-like sensation on his chest. He lowered his gaze and looked at He Xi in his arms. Her fair, rosy face and skin as tender as a newborn baby's revealed what had happened the night before.
He won against that little vixen last night, but... he miscalculated a bit.
Unexpectedly, He Xi, that little vixen, summoned seven, until in the end he became the victim.
In short, nothing good ever gets missed.
Li Dao rubbed his aching back, which felt like it had been working tirelessly day and night, and sat up. He was in an exceptionally good mood, after all, his wish had finally come true, and anyone would be happy in that situation.
"Still sleeping?" Li Dao looked at He Xi, who was radiating spring-like beauty, especially her two little white rabbits, who seemed to have encountered some great terror, hiding fearfully in their fluffy white nest, only showing half of their heads, making one want to playfully rub them a couple of times.
He Xi opened her eyes and glared at Li Dao with annoyance: "I'm going to sleep a little longer. I was too tired from fighting with you last night. If it weren't for the seven clones helping me share the damage, I'm afraid you would have beaten me to pieces."
"You make it sound like the eight of you aren't strong. Don't you know that forces work in pairs? I almost got torn apart by you guys. But I was one against eight, and I'm definitely strong on my own, but you're a group of eight," Li Dao laughed.
He Xi rolled her eyes: "I'm too lazy to argue with you. You should think about how to explain our fight to Yan, otherwise she'll inevitably feel uncomfortable."
"?" Li asked, puzzled.
Explain? Shouldn't you be the one explaining? I'm just a passerby, why should I explain? It's better not to explain, otherwise I'll be in big trouble.
"What? You don't want to take responsibility?" He Xi looked at Li Dao with a smile on her lips. Her face was radiant with spring, and even though she was 30,000 years old, her skin was so fair and tender that no young girl could compare to it. She was like a lotus emerging from the water, beautiful, noble, and holy.
“How could that be? I would never do such a beastly thing. After all, you hold a very important place in my heart.” Li Dao shook his head.
"Alright, I know it's difficult for you. I'll talk to Yan later. You can go out now. I want to sleep a little longer." With that, He Xi started to shoo him away.
"Then you can continue sleeping for a while. I'll go do my experiments now." With that, Li Dao stood up, dressed, and left the room.
Unfortunately, as soon as the door opened, Li Dao saw Angel Ying standing outside. He looked at her strangely and said, "You didn't spend the whole night eavesdropping outside, did you?"
During the fight last night, he didn't lose focus on the commotion outside, since being distracted during a fight is a major taboo.
"Is what civilized people do called eavesdropping? I was worried that your fight would be disturbed, so I stood guard outside the door all night." Angel Ying secretly glanced at the sleeping person in the room. With her excellent eyesight as a third-generation god, she could tell that her Heavenly King was very rosy-cheeked.
"Looks like this fight was pretty fierce; even our Celestial King got red in the face," Angel Ying remarked.
Li Dao was speechless. He noticed that since she had been on Earth for a while, Angel Ying seemed to have become less serious. Either it was her nature, or she just naturally preferred abstract things.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, but you'd better be careful, or you might capsize. I'm off now." Angel Ying smiled and patted Li Dao on the shoulder, then walked away with a "clack clack clack" of her high heels.
Li Dao pondered for a moment, glanced at He Xi who was fast asleep in the room, left the room and gently closed the door behind him.
He understood what Angel Ying meant; he definitely had to be honest, but he wasn't sure if it would turn into a chaotic mess.
After all, angels love pure love, so does that mean I am pure love?
The answer is yes.
Pure love = pure love.
He had simply divided his heart in two and given it to two women; wasn't that pure love?
In Li Dao's eyes, this is pure love!
Therefore, his love for both women is undoubtedly pure and innocent, and the meaning behind Angel Ying's words could not possibly apply to him.
Yes, that's right.
Li Dao smiled casually: "Using formulas is fast. Let's solve the celestial problem first. As for whether it will turn into a bloodbath later, that's a matter for later."
After saying that, he went up the stairs to the third-floor laboratory and continued his tedious experiment. Although he had made some progress, he had not yet obtained any results and did not know if his conjecture was correct.
Not long after Li Dao left, He Xi opened her eyes. Her azure eyes sparkled, and upon closer inspection, one could see a white ring attached to the depths of her eyes, similar to colored contact lenses. Although it was not obvious, it added a touch of nobility to her appearance.
"The sacred atoms within his body are entangled with his Qi, it's quite amazing." He Xi felt the restlessness within his body, and a wisp of Qi began to travel from five inches below his lower abdomen.
As for why she knew that this wisp of energy was Qi, it was naturally because when she fought with Li Dao, she used the Yin-Yang Dragon-Phoenix Union Technique she had obtained last time, which led to a deeper entanglement with him.
"It's a pity that there's too little Qi. It has little effect on the sacred atoms in my body. To achieve a complete transformation, I need to be like Yan... Fortunately, with Keisha in charge of Melo, and I have nothing else to do, this kind of life will definitely last a long time."
After saying that, He Xi got up from the bed. Her slender and beautiful body was like a rare and precious gem, as exquisite as porcelain.
He Xi frowned, feeling the discomfort in her body. Although it wasn't as painful as last night, it was just a bit like being pricked with needles. But it would probably take a while before she could walk normally again.
After all, that guy fought too fiercely last night and didn't know how to be gentle with women at all. But then again... it seems like she asked for it herself.
Instantly, He Xi's face flushed slightly. Although she had lived for over 30,000 years, she had almost zero experience in fighting.
She is strong in other areas, but when it comes to fighting, no one can compare to Li Daoqiang, who watched all kinds of martial arts movies in his previous life.
He Xi became the second person to try it, and as for the first one... those who know, know.
Just as Li Dao was conducting his experiment and He Xi was having her body checked, the members of the Super Soldier Squad, after many days of travel, finally arrived at North Star on the second day of the new year.
Outside the North Star, Lianfeng and other high-ranking officials were already waiting.
Lianfeng changed into a military uniform and cap, which made her look dashing and gave her a subtle air of authority befitting someone in a high position.
Behind them was a banner that read, "Welcome back, heroes of the War of Resistance!"
"Aunt Lianfeng." As the Super Soldier Squad drew closer, until they saw the figure at the head, Rose's eyes flickered, she made a soft sound, and quickly walked over.
The members of the Super Soldier Company also quickened their pace.
Soon, the two sides met.
"Aunt Lianfeng." Qiangwei went up and hugged Lianfeng. Although there was no sadness on her face, a deep sorrow was revealed in her eyes.
If there's anyone she can confide in, it's only this aunt who watched her grow up.
"Welcome back." Lianfeng hugged Qiangwei and gently patted her back, her voice soft, as if coaxing a five or six-year-old girl.
She watched Qiangwei grow up and knew her personality; although she appeared strong, she was very sentimental inside.
Commonly known as having a cold exterior but a hot interior.
When Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, Liu Chuang, and the others saw this scene, they all lowered their heads, recalling the scene of the attack on the Juxia.
Only Ge Xiaolun's eyes flashed with panic and helplessness.
He wasn't on Earth at the time; he went to Frazier with the angels and couldn't protect Rose, so he felt a deep sense of guilt.
"Alright, now that everyone has arrived at North Star, let me arrange your accommodations first. After all, you've traveled a long way and probably haven't had a proper rest yet. Rest today and get to know North Star. I'll have someone contact you again tomorrow."
Lianfeng patted the rose, looked at the members of the Super Soldier Squad, and seeing that they all looked haggard and dazed, she said.
"Thank you, Commander Lianfeng," the members of the Super Soldier Company said.
Then, led by a soldier, the members of the Super Soldier Squad followed him to a hotel. The hotel was very large, with a revolving door at the entrance and red carpets on the floor, clearly indicating that it was a high-end hotel.
"This is the place Commander Lianfeng arranged for you. If you need anything, you can tell the comrades outside, and we will try our best to meet your needs," the soldier said earnestly.
"Can I ask how North Star is doing right now?" Cheng Yaowen suddenly asked.
The soldier smiled and said, "The situation on North Star is normal now. Thanks to that Taoist Master Xuanqing, the Taotie fleet suddenly retreated when it invaded North Star. Otherwise, we would probably have lost many brothers."
"It can be said that he single-handedly saved the world from collapse. Such power is truly incredible, especially considering the space war about half a month ago, which laid the foundation for the complete safety of the Earth. It's hard to imagine that there really are extraordinary powers in this world!"
Hearing the soldier's reflections, the members of the Super Soldier Company fell silent.
They had already witnessed Li Dao's power; such strength was beyond the capabilities of a super soldier, more like that of a martial artist or cultivator from a novel.
"But you don't need to be discouraged. Recently, the higher-ups have been preparing a series of plans in response to the invasion of alien civilizations."
"I heard that the Academy of Sciences has cracked the core technology of warships, and in a little while, they will be able to start developing our own space carrier."
"Perhaps you will be assigned to it, and when the interstellar war against the so-called Taotie civilization takes place, you will definitely shine."
The soldier seemed to see through the thoughts of the Super Soldier Squad, patted Ge Xiaolun, who was in the lead, on the shoulder, and comforted him with a smile.
"Thank you, then we'll go in first." Ge Xiaolun smiled awkwardly but politely as he said goodbye to the soldier.
"You're welcome. My name is Li Long. If you need anything, remember to tell the comrades on duty outside." After saying this, Li Long turned and left.
Ge Xiaolun watched Li Long leave, then glanced at the sky. The Northern Star was perpetually shrouded in smog, and with the season being late winter, there was practically no sun in the sky. Coupled with the pervasive atmosphere of war, it felt rather oppressive.
"Go in, Xiao Lun." At this moment, Zhao Xin walked over and patted Ge Xiao Lun on the shoulder.
Ge Xiaolun turned to look at him, then at the expressions of the rest of the Super Soldier Squad, and nodded: "Okay!"
Although he felt good about being protected by the Taoist priest, he didn't know why he didn't really like it. He actually wanted to be a prominent hero, not the loser he used to be.
Of course, he is still a loser, just a loser with super strength; his essence has not changed.
The members of the Super Soldier Squad entered the hotel, explained their purpose to the receptionist, and each received a key card before going upstairs to their rooms.
Ge Xiaolun inserted the card into the door slot, and the room lights instantly turned on. The room was large, with a big bed in the middle, a table next to it, a small kitchen next door, a bathroom, and other amenities.
"Prepared well." Ge Xiaolun glanced at his room, then looked away, waved his hand to put the black armor back into the wormhole space, put on a set of ordinary casual gray plaid clothes, walked to the bed and sat down, looking somewhat comfortable and relaxed.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he used micro-wormhole transport technology to retrieve a photo from the wormhole space. The photo showed Rose, and looking at the youthful Rose in the photo, he thought about everything from joining the Super God Academy to now.
"Sigh!" Ge Xiaolun sighed, feeling inexplicably choked up. He was clearly only a thin membrane away from Rose, but because of the time he was away from Earth, that membrane turned into a wall, a hard and indestructible cement wall.
Boom boom boom!
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, followed by the faint sound of Zhao Xin's voice.
Ge Xiaolun was puzzled as to why Zhao Xin was not resting at this time and was suddenly knocking on the door. However, he did not think much of it, put the photo away, and then went over to open the door. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Xin standing outside the door.
Ge Xiaolun asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with Master Xin?"
"Xiao Lun, you've finally come to the capital, aren't you going to do some sightseeing?" Zhao Xin put his arm around Ge Xiaolun's shoulder and asked with a grin.
"Uh, Mr. Xin, I was just about to rest. After all, I haven't had a proper rest since I came all the way to North Star. How about we do it another day?" Ge Xiaolun scratched the back of his head and refused.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin released his friend with a look of disappointment, shook his head, and left: "Sigh! What a pity. I was originally going to make connections for you. Since you're not going, I'll go with Prince, Rose, and Qi Lin."
"What a pity, what a pity." His voice was full of disappointment.
"Wait, Master Xin, you mean Rose is going too?" Ge Xiaolun quickly grabbed Master Xin and asked.
"What else? But since you're not going, then the prince and I can each have one." Zhao Xin grinned mischievously.
"Hey, don't believe me, take me with you, take me with you."

As the capital of China, Beixing was undoubtedly prosperous, but that was during a time of peace and prosperity.
