Chapter 1377: Chapter 989: Limbs Seem to Have Just Grown Out_2

You never know when the other side will make a move.

In fact, when you think about it, the difficulty for heroes to break through the stage of faith is largely due to thousands of years of propaganda by the Holy Court.

They shaped the Divine Spirits into unreachable symbols, claiming that the Divine Spirits do not exist in the mortal realm, while a living hero, though a powerful professional, is at most a spokesperson for the Divine Spirits.

The use of smart speakers has already proven its feasibility, enabling followers to listen to ’divine messages’ at any time and receive instant responses to their prayers, an effect the Holy Court cannot achieve.

Thinking about it like this, I cannot clash too much with the Holy Court to avoid delaying the development of the Church.

"No way! There can’t be no conflict."

"When news from the Yeko Kingdom reaches the Holy Court, they will definitely not allow the rise of a new sect."

"Sooner or later, a fight will break out."

With this in mind, Wu Heng made a summary.

"Delay direct conflict with the Holy Court and accelerate the construction of the Church."

How could the Holy Court tolerate the rise of a new god? This war is bound to break out eventually, it’s just a matter of time.

I’m not afraid of heroes, but when facing the Divine Spirits, there’s still some anxiety in my heart.

It’s like when I was a professional, knowing that heroes couldn’t be killed always left some worries in my heart.

As for the matter of the atomic bomb, destroying the entire Holy City would certainly be thrilling, but the association would never stand by and do nothing.

If I really throw it out, I would become a world enemy.

If I focus my attention on Church Heroes and Divine Spirits, the deaths of ordinary clergy would be meaningless.

As for the Zombie World side.

The base’s operations are already on track, and the urgent matter is Li Yahong and their level improvement.

I don’t want to keep rising higher while the people around me age and die.

Only Xiao Xiao thinks becoming a Ghost is a great thing, thinking about letting her mother become a Ghost too.

I need to urge them to train.

Knock knock knock~!

His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door.

The door slowly opened a crack, and Mini’s furry rabbit ears poked in first. Seeing Wu Heng still awake, her eyes lit up.

"Master, you’re still awake?"

She gently pushed the door open, and behind her, Robey, Annette, and Philippa followed in single file.

Of course, Wu Heng knew what they were doing coming over so late, and he opened his arms. The four women laughed and snuggled up, resting in his arms or leaning against him.

"Did you have fun?" Wu Heng stroked Mini’s long hair.

"Viola adapted quickly. She went straight to her room after coming back," Mini whispered.

Philippa chimed in, "When she first played the dance machine, her limbs seemed newly grown, but she got much better afterward."

Wu Heng nodded, "Take her out for some walks."

"Sure!" Everyone nodded.

Wu Heng casually turned off the lamp, and the silver-white moonlight streamed in through the window, casting shadows on their entwined figures.

...

The next morning.

Wu Heng arrived at the association and went straight to the front desk.

"Good morning, Lord Island Master!" The female receptionist smiled and greeted him.

"Good morning!" Wu Heng handed her a letter, "Mail this to the headquarters."

"Yes, sir." The receptionist took it and placed it separately in the urgent mail section.

Wu Heng smiled and nodded, then walked inside.

He made his way to the Steward’s Office, lightly knocked on the door, and went in after hearing a response.

The room was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

The Elf Sisters looked up, and their eyes lit up when they saw Wu Heng enter.

"Wu Heng!" Shi Yali exclaimed and ran over, giving him a hug.

Wu Heng twirled her in the air and then set her down again.

Xi Ligui, more composed, asked, "You’re a hero now; why are you still doing patrols personally?"

Wu Heng sat down, and Shi Yali brought him tea and pastries.

"I call it a patrol, but I’m handling some Church matters," Wu Heng said, sipping the tea.

Xi Ligui raised an eyebrow, "Mini said you’re patrolling without telling us, keeping it a secret even from us?"

Wu Heng said calmly, "What can I do? You won’t let me reveal our relationship to them, so Mini only knows you’re the Steward of the association."

The maids at home knew about his relationship with the Elf Sisters, but the sisters thought they were maintaining a great level of secrecy.

"Forget it; next time you go out, I’ll just call you directly," Xi Ligui backed down at the mention of making their relationship public.

Wu Heng said irritably, "Why does it sound like revealing our relationship is an embarrassment to you?"

Xi Ligui walked around the desk, hugged his arm on the other side, and smiled, "Not at all! You’re the Island Master, and I’m a Steward at the association. If it gets out, what if the association relocates me?"

Wu Heng was just teasing her, holding the sisters on either side, asking, "Everything okay on the island?"

"No major issues!" Xi Ligui paused, then added, "The Flag-bearer ’Erinnoel’ was transferred, and the appointment of the new Flag-bearer hasn’t come through yet."

She mentioned the title to help him recall, as it was the previous elf Flag-bearer.

Though there was no substantial evidence, based on inference, he probably cooperated with the Holy Court’s Holy War plan.

Not taking action against him was also giving face to the two Elf Leaders at headquarters.

"Where was he transferred to?" Wu Heng continued asking.

"Back to headquarters, but I don’t know what position he’ll be assigned to later," Xi Ligui shook her head.

Shi Yali said, "I feel like he’ll definitely be punished after going back. A Flag-bearer is such an important position, and he messed it up from the start, so not punishing him would be strange."

"Yeah, you’re probably right," Wu Heng nodded and smiled.

Then, the three of them chatted for a while longer.

Confirming there were no major issues, he decided to spend a couple of days with the sisters before getting up to leave.

...

He left the association and headed straight to the Snake Badge Consortium across the street.

Pushing open the consortium doors, a cooling breeze mixed with a faint scent of incense wafted in.

After taking over the local consortium, Retili had also renovated this old building, with bright crystal chandeliers, cool air from air conditioning, and some mercenaries gathered inside reading mission announcements.

"Lord Island Master!"

The front desk attendant quickly greeted Wu Heng, who nodded slightly, "Is Retili here?"

"Please wait a moment; I’ll notify her right away." The attendant bowed and backed away quickly.

On Gold and Silver Island, Wu Heng’s status was far higher than Retili’s.

In the lounge, Wu Heng sat on the sofa and waited for a while before the door was gently pushed open.

In walked Retili in a lake-blue long dress, a slight smile on her lips, "Leader!"

She slightly bowed and then sat across from him, crossing her long legs, revealing a glimpse of pale calves under her skirt.

Wu Heng asked, "Have you gotten used to living on Gold and Silver Island?"

"Thanks to you! Much more comfortable than Lopaz City," Retili replied.

After some small talk, Wu Heng got to the point, "Any results from the commissions?"

Last time, Wu Heng had issued two commissions at the Snake Badge Consortium.

One was to acquire high-level life profession bodies, and the other was to purchase tools or Special Items capable of storing Ghosts in large quantities.

Retili looked serious, "Seven life professional bodies have been collected, five of which are above level ten, and two above level fifteen."

With a flick of her wrist, four wooden coffins and three bodies wrapped in mats appeared on the ground, "As for Special Items capable of storing Ghosts in large numbers, there are no reliable leads so far."

Wu Heng waved his hand to store the bodies in his Space Ring, about to speak when Retili suddenly leaned forward, revealing a glimpse of her neckline.

Retili’s physique was typical of the Elf Race.

Slender and elegant, unlike the youthful abundance of Xi Ligui.

"The consortium want to engage in commerce?"

He asked, "Are you planning to conduct sales individually, or...?"

"The higher-ups want all local consortia to be involved in sales, but only with your consent," Retili maintained her smile.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

On Gold and Silver Island, Wu Heng’s status certainly outclassed Retili’s.
