Chapter 1342: Sage’s Decision

When Tom heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face. Especially when he saw Zhang Heng search their bodies and confirm that they only had this long-range weapon on them, he walked straight to the side of the road, picking up the gla.s.s bottle, Tom finally could not help but ask, “How do you plan to deal with us?”

“I don’t plan to deal with you, or else I would have killed you,”Zhang Heng said. “I told you I’m just an irrelevant pa.s.serby.”

Tom hesitated.

“The people here helped me just now, so I can’t let you take her away.”Zhang Heng shook the bottle in his hand. The Phoenix b.u.t.terfly inside had been lying at the bottom of the bottle, looking very scared, it wasn’t until it returned to Zhang Heng’s hand that it spread its wings and started to fly again. It looked quite excited.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng opened the cap of the bottle and let the b.u.t.terfly fly out. However, for some reason, the b.u.t.terfly didn’t immediately return to human form. Instead, it continued to lie on Zhang Heng’s shoulder in its b.u.t.terfly form.

Zhang Heng took a few steps forward, but he stopped after a few steps. Other than the person who had been knocked out by him in the beginning, the other three became nervous when they saw this.

Tom said nervously, “What’s wrong? Have you changed your mind again?”

“No, I just have a message for your leader. No matter what you want to do, there’s no need to drag someone like sage down with you.”

Zhang Heng did not turn back after he finished speaking and continued to walk toward the door.

When he was about 20 meters away, he heard Tom’s voice behind him again. “This is war. In order to win the final victory, we will do whatever is necessary.”

Zhang Heng was noncommittal, but he had already walked away, leaving Tom and the other two to look at each other in dismay.

Half an hour later, in the hotel’s executive suite.

Siji had already put on her clothes and expressed her grat.i.tude to Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus. However, her face was red and she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Zhang Heng guessed what she wanted to say, so he agreed in advance.

“We don’t have anything else to do for the time being. We can wait for your husband to come back.”

“Really? Thank you so much.”Saiji finally heaved a sigh of relief. She had always been timid, so she had been shocked by the oil painting and what had happened in the park, she was afraid that if Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus left, she would be captured by someone else.

The three of them played a few rounds of landlord fighting in the house. After that, Siji and Miss Succubus started chatting about the new clothes and foundation while Zhang Heng, who had nothing better to do, went to the bedroom next door.

For the past two days, he had been running around 24 hours a day, busy solving various problems. Now that he had some time to relax, he took a nap.

..

When Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

He realized that there was an extra person beside his bed.

Saiji was wearing a white dress. She sat on the edge of the bed to his left and held his palm. Moonlight shone through the window, enveloping her whole body. She looked like a beautiful oil painting, zhang Heng couldn’t help but take another look. It was only then that he noticed a pair of transparent wings behind Saiji’s back. The moonlight rippled on the wings.

However, Saiji’s brows were tightly furrowed. She seemed to have encountered a difficult problem, and she looked exhausted. When she realized that Zhang Heng had woken up, she was startled and subconsciously pulled her hand back.

However, her expression quickly turned serious. “You have an amulet on you. It was created by a very powerful person to protect your soul. It was placed in your body when you were very young.”

“That’s right. Is there a problem?”Zhang Heng realized that Saiji was trying to help him solve the problem with his soul.

“It failed,”Sage said.

“I know.”

“No, I mean it has completely failed. Just now, even the last trace of its power disappeared,”Sage said. “This means that your soul is now completely unprotected.”

“And then?”Zhang Heng’s expression didn’t change much after hearing the news.

“And then I could sense that some evil and powerful being had its eyes on you.”At this point, a hint of fear appeared in Sage’s eyes, “No, it should be said that a part of its soul has been sleeping in your body. Previously, because of the amulet, it couldn’t find any chance, but now that it has woken up, I only exchanged a glance with it, and it almost lost its mind. No one can resist that kind of madness.”

“Can you help me repair the amulet?”Zhang Heng asked calmly.

“Unfortunately, I can’t.”Sage shook her head and explained, “It’s not difficult to create a soul amulet, but the problem is that a person can only have one soul amulet in their entire life. Once it’s destroyed, there’s no way to replace it.”

“Then it looks like I’ll have to think of another way before I can control my body.”It was clearly a matter of life and death, but Zhang Heng’s tone was unusually calm. “How much time do I have?”

“About a week, but with your mental strength and willpower, you might be able to last two weeks.”Sage sighed, “Just now, I helped you block a soul attack and used up almost all of my divine power. The attacks that follow will only get fiercer, so there’s nothing I can do to help.”

Sage’s words also explained why she looked so tired.

“It’s okay. I’m already very grateful that you let me have one last good night’s sleep,”Zhang Heng said as he put on his clothes.

However, Saiji did not leave immediately. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, “You asked me about the blood exchange earlier.”

Zhang Heng’s hands stopped moving.

“If it’s possible, that might be your only hope,”Saiji continued. “Unfortunately, my strength is too weak. I can’t withstand the madness and destruction in your blood. Of course, neither can trista.”

“It doesn’t matter. There’s still time. I can find someone else.”

“It’s too late. In such a short period of time, it’s very difficult for you to find a G.o.d who is willing to exchange blood with you and is strong enough.”Sage seemed to have finally made up her mind, “My husband, Cupid, should be able to contain your blood. When he returns, I’ll help you beg him. Although this will severely weaken his strength, with his love for me, there’s a high chance that he’ll agree.”

“The war between the new G.o.ds and the Old G.o.ds has already begun. Won’t this put you in Danger?”

“After we help you change your blood, we can temporarily hide like those succubus,”said sage. “As long as we don’t directly partic.i.p.ate in the war, with our strength, it shouldn’t be too dangerous for us to protect ourselves.”
