Although Zhou Sisi was attractive, there were many immortal girls who were much more attractive than her . None of those girls won so much attention of the Divine Lord as Zhou Sisi enjoyed . In the six years, the Divine Lord had spent most of his time either by himself or by the side of Zhou Sisi . On the other hand, Zhou Sisi was very snappy toward Divine Lord, but he didn't seem to mind .
The Divine Lord was perfect and immaculate; Justine would give up her life for him . Every encounter with the Divine Lord was a miracle worth commemoration . So far, she had seen Divine Lord's face twelve times, and they had spoken eighty-six words . Justine knew that she was lucky among the immortal girls for she had the opportunity to look at Divine Lord's face .
The Divine Lord was destined to lord over not only the human world, but the entire universe .
After Zhou Sisi had changed into a nightgown, she was escorted by a group of Immortal guards, including Justine . Justine was not only a beautiful woman, but also a deadly level twenty-one warrior .
Patroclus had spared no expenses in ensuring Zhou Sisi's safety against assassins sent by radical human groups . Knowing that it was impossible to kill Patroclus, Zhou Sisi had become the human radical groups' top target . Her very existence was a disgrace to the human world .
But, despite the misunderstanding, Zhou Sisi never seemed to be upset by the assassination attempts .
A Maglev limo had been waiting for Zhou Sisi and her bodyguards . The guards scanned the surrounding nervously and didn't let their guard down for even a fraction of a second . The consequences of Zhou Sisi's death under their watch would be grave . The previous guard captain, after failing to prevent Zhou Sisi from getting injured by an attacker, was executed by Patroclus himself and died in excruciating pain .
Not all immortals were happy with Patroclus' mild approach toward Zhou Sisi . If he really wanted her so bad, why wouldn't he force-convert her into an Immortal? Despite the resentment, no one dared to speak their minds on the sensitive issue in front of the Divine Lord .
They traveled during rush hour, but upon seeing the Divine Lord's banner, all vehicles veered to the side and made way for the divine convoy .
"Are you ready?"
"Don't worry! We will blow up this b*tch!"
"Very well! Remember, she is not innocent . It is us freedom fighters' duty to do away with the traitor . We can't let her continue to dishonor the human race!"
"The convoy will arrive at Victory Avenue, so be ready . "
"Do everything as you're told . This is a critical moment in our revolution, comrades . Death of this traitor will be a decisive blow to our enemy . "
"Don't waste your time with the guards . Go straight for the woman!"
Zhou Sisi looked out of the car window at the blur of neon signs and passing pedestrians as she fell into the reverie of her past .
Would Wang Tong still remember her after so many years?
What if he had already forgotten her? If that were the case, maybe Patroclus was right: she meant nothing to Wang Tong .
She felt less resolute in her course of actions as she got closer to reuniting with Wang Tong .
"My lady, what are you thinking about?" Justine asked . She had been living with Zhou Sisi for many years and had established a certain measure of trust with her .
"It's nothing . I'm sentimental, you know . "
"Are you thinking about Wang Tong?" Justine asked .
Zhou Sisi didn't deny it; she heaved a sigh and closed her eyes . Wang Tong's face was still clear in her memory, but she wondered how much that image had changed .
She had learned that Wang Tong had already made his way back to earth and reunited with Ma Xiaoru . She felt genuinely happy for Ma Xiaoru; the latter had been through a lot over the years, but in the end, her efforts had led her to where she wanted to be .
"My Lady, just between you and me, I think you deserve better than Wang Tong . I have heard that he had surrounded himself with lots of beautiful faces while he was on Mars . A man like that cannot be trusted . The Divine Lord, on the other hand, had always been faithful to you even when you tried to distance yourself from him . He might be a demon in most humans' eyes, but he has always been caring for you . "
"Justine, if everything was what it seemed on the surface, there would be no war in this world . "
"I don't overthink things like you, and I'm simply speaking out whatever is on my mind . If you decided to become an immortal and accept Divine Lord's affection, I would be the first one to support you . You might even be able to end the war by doing that . Bonded by marriage, the humans and the Immortals might be able to learn to coexist in the future . "
Zhou Sisi gave Justine a wry smile . She didn't want to live as a pawn of politics . So, she would never subject herself to a marriage she never wanted in exchange for a perfunctory promise of peace .
"Call me silly, but I am just an average human woman . I don't want to be the queen of your Divine Lord . Justine, thank you for looking after me all these years . " Zhou Sisi said wistfully . Justine had saved her numerous times, and without her protection, she would have been killed many years ago . To her, Justine was not an Immortal, but a human . But after all, what was the difference between Immortals and human?
Zhou Sisi mulled the question, but the more she thought of it, the more blurred the line became .
KOM!
An explosion erupted at that moment, and the panicked crowd could be heard running past the limo . Justine charged up her soul energy and reached out a restraining hand toward Zhou Sisi . "Wait here, my lady! I will be back!"
Justine cracked open the car door, and Zhou Sisi saw that her escort convoy had already formed a protective barricade using their cars around her .
A group of freedom fighters bombarded the convey with their laser blasters .
The Immortal guards cracked up their GN force to form a shield over Zhou Sisi's limo; they had to protect her at all costs . The laser bounced off of the GN shield, but the attackers kept at it nonetheless .
Suddenly, a missile whistled across the sky toward Zhou Sisi from the rear of the defensive line where there was no GN shield coverage . The ballistic missile would do little to no harm to the immortals, but it could be deadly to Zhou Sisi . The captain of the guards, Jin Qianzheng, was a level twenty-four warrior, and he had sworn an oath to protect Zhou Sisi with his life . Sensing that she was in danger, Captain Jin turned and took off toward the incoming missile . He detonated a missile in the air, causing a huge blast; anyway, Jin Qianzheng was unharmed, and so was Zhou Sisi .
"Kill every single one of them!" Jin Qianzheng shouted at his soldiers . News of this attack was bound to spoil Divine Lord's mood, and only the death of these insidious humans could quell his wrath . Justine didn't partake in the defense as she stayed close to Zhou Sisi . She was the last line of defense if everyone else failed .
Zhou Sisi looked up through the panorama window above at the blue sky as she was gripped by a sudden epiphany . What was so terrible about death if she had no desire?
Kaboom!
Jin Qianzheng's face paled as he noticed a heavy METAL in the distance . It fired rows of rockets and laser blasts toward the GN shield protecting Ma Xiaoru . As the guards focused on strengthening the GN shield, a dozen or so METAL warriors appeared out of nowhere and charged toward the convoy .
Sensing the danger, Justine hopped into the limo and took off with Zhou Sisi; however, it was already too late . A few dark shadows followed the Limo, at least two of whom were level twenty-one assassins .
Zhou Sisi closed her eyes; despite the urgency of the situation, she felt calm and had no resentments .
Justine's face hardened as she registered the assassins' determination . All these men would be killed without a doubt, but they might be able to hurt or kill Zhou Sisi in the process .
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky, and the world became quiet . All METAL soldiers, human, and Immortals, felt unable to use their GN force as if the golden light had locked them away . Machines stopped, and the lights in the streets went out . In a blink, the city had fallen pin-drop silent .
A man walked freely in the street under everyone's watch . A few immortals tried to stop him but found that they were unable to move a muscle .
Zhou Sisi looked at the man and felt she was dreaming: his face hasn't changed at all!
Wang Tong closed in onto Zhou Sisi and touched her cheeks gently . "Follow me . " He whispered, and so she did .
As the two of them disappeared at the end of the Victory Avenue, the city also came back alive . That man was Wang Tong, the heir of the Blade Warrior!
"Pull back!" The captain of the freedom fighters announced . Meanwhile, Zhou Sisi was huddled inside of Wang Tong's arm and felt content for the first time in many years .
