Chapter 1104: The Angel Knocks on the Door
The moment the sound was heard, everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts and turned to look.
When they saw the face clearly, they were first stunned for a moment, then an unprecedented joy appeared on their faces.
“Qi Ye!!”
“Qi Ye?! You’re awake?”
Yang Jin pushed Lin Qi Ye into the octagonal pavilion. The latter had a smile on his face as he said, “Thanks to the ‘miracle’ of the Seraph, I was saved.”
Lin Qi Ye briefly recounted what had happened to everyone.
“Fortunately… this means our team has survived intact.” Bai Li Pang Pang chuckled as he patted Cao Yuan’s shoulder. “Now, it all depends on Old Cao.”
“Hey, heh heh, heh heh heh…”
“This young friend still needs some time to regain consciousness. Just as well, Lin Xiaoyou’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Everyone, please stay in the Heavenly Court for a few days. I’ve already arranged your accommodations,” Taibai Jinxing said with a smile, lightly waving his feather duster.
Lin Qi Ye sat in the wheelchair and cupped his hands toward Taibai Jinxing. “Thank you, Star Lord.”
…
“Brother, I’ll leave you here. Make sure to rest well.”
Yang Jin stood in front of Lin Qi Ye’s residence and patted the dog-skin wheelchair. “I’ve left Xiao Hei Lai here. If anything happens, it will notify me immediately.”
“Don’t worry, I understand.” Lin Qi Ye smiled at him.
After Yang Jin repeatedly reminded him, he finally turned to leave.
Watching Yang Jin’s figure disappear, Lin Qi Ye patted the armrest of the dog-skin wheelchair and said with a smile:
“Let’s go, let’s go inside. I didn’t expect that in this lifetime, you, Xiao Hei Lai, could still carry me around…”
The dog-skin wheelchair turned automatically and slowly rolled into the house. Faintly, Lin Qi Ye could still hear Xiao Hei Lai’s whimpering from behind.
The accommodations in the Heavenly Court looked no different from those in the Yaochi. Lin Qi Ye took a quick look around and returned to the courtyard. He placed his hands on the wheelchair’s armrests, trying to stand up and do some simple rehabilitation exercises.
It seemed that the dog-skin wheelchair sensed Lin Qi Ye’s intention and transformed into two low horizontal bars commonly found in rehabilitation hospitals, helping Lin Qi Ye stabilize his body. Beneath the bars was even a body fat scale to monitor his physical changes.
Lin Qi Ye was taken aback and chuckled, “These modern things have really been figured out by you reincarnated gods…”
Just as Lin Qi Ye was sweating profusely from exercising, a knock sounded from the front of the courtyard.
Lin Qi Ye turned to look, a puzzled expression appearing in his eyes. He quickly sat in the dog-skin wheelchair and rolled toward the courtyard door.
Creak—!
Lin Qi Ye opened the courtyard door, but it was empty behind it.
No one?
What was that knocking just now?
Lin Qi Ye suspiciously glanced around, closed the courtyard door with a reverse motion, and was about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
His heart skipped a beat.
It was a seraph with six wings, towering over ten meters high.
It stood quietly in the courtyard, like a majestic and holy giant, lowering its head and silently gazing down at the mortal sitting in the wheelchair.
Michael?!
“Is it you?”
“It is I.” Michael glanced at the traces of Lin Qi Ye’s recent training in the courtyard, “It seems your body is recovering well.”
Lin Qi Ye made an effort to calm his startled heart and helplessly looked at him, saying:
“That’s good… So, since you can directly appear here, why did you knock?”
“I heard that it’s a custom in Daxia to knock before entering.”
Lin Qi Ye’s mouth twitched slightly, “…Thank you for your courtesy.”
In the silent courtyard, a towering and holy angel faced a mortal sitting in a dog-skin wheelchair, and the air fell into silence.
“Do we really have to stand here to talk? My neck hurts a bit from looking up at you.”
Lin Qi Ye rubbed his still-recovering neck and pointed toward the house, “If it’s convenient, shall we go inside and sit down to chat?”
“Alright.”
Michael simply agreed and turned to walk into the house. His towering figure quickly shrank to about 1.8 meters, and he stepped inside to sit down.
Lin Qi Ye wheeled himself back into the house, brewed a pot of tea with the materials on the table, and handed it to Michael.
Michael looked down at the floating tea leaves in the cup before him, motionless, as if pondering how to use this thing.
Lin Qi Ye sat opposite Michael, and after a long silence, he took the initiative to break the quiet, sincerely saying, “Thank you for saving me.”
“Mm.”
Michael nodded slightly.
“…” Lin Qi Ye’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, “Did you come down from the moon just for me?”
“You think too much.” Michael said calmly, “I came down to take care of other matters, including visiting the Heavenly Court to meet the Daxia Lingbao Tianzun… If it weren’t for Yuan Shi Tianzun telling me, I wouldn’t have known you were here and in such a dire state.
Saving you was just a matter of convenience.”
Lin Qi Ye: …
Lin Qi Ye thought that Michael’s appearance in the Heavenly Court was purely to save him… but now it seemed he had misjudged.
However, it made sense. During the Great Calamity of Cangnan, Michael had said that he entrusted the “Mortal Realm Divine Domain” to Lin Qi Ye merely as part of a transaction. After all, there was no real relationship between him and Lin Qi Ye. It was unlikely that he would travel such a long distance just to save him.
Lin Qi Ye picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip, “Regardless, you still saved my life. I owe you one.”
“You can repay me.”
“?”
Lin Qi Ye nearly spilled the tea in his cup, “What did you say?”
“In a few days, once your body has recovered, you may need to come with me,” Michael said slowly. “You said it yourself; this is what you owe me, and it’s also part of the transaction between me and your Daxia Tianzun.”
“What transaction did you make with Yuan Shi Tianzun?”
“I came down from the moon to investigate the true culprit behind the unsealing of the moon fifty years ago. This matter is difficult to accomplish alone; I need the help of the Daxia God.”
“Why specifically the Daxia God?” Lin Qi Ye asked in confusion. “Is it because of your good relationship with Daxia?”
“That’s only part of the reason.”
Michael imitated Lin Qi Ye’s action, took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and silently set down the cup.
“More importantly, among all the divine kingdoms in the world… only Daxia has absolutely not been tainted by the Cthulhu mythos, making it the safest and most trustworthy.”
