Chapter 1104: Angel Knocking
At the instant this voice reached their ears, everyone present felt their hearts tremble, and they all turned to look.
When they看清那张面孔之后，先是愣了片刻，随后脸上浮现出前所未有的狂喜。
"Seven Nights!!"
"Seven Nights?! You woke up?"
Yang Jian pushed Lin Qiye into the octagonal pavilion, the latter's face carrying a smile as he said, "Thanks to the Seraph's 'Miracle', I survived."
Lin Qiye briefly explained the sequence of events to everyone.
"Luckily... with this, our squad remains at full strength." Baili Pangpang patted Cao Yuan's shoulder with a grin. "Now, it's up to Old Cao."
"Hehe, hehehe, hehehehe..."
"This young friend will need some time before regaining consciousness. Coincidentally, young Lin's body hasn't recovered yet either. Everyone, please stay at the Heavenly Court for a few days. Your accommodations have already been arranged." The Star Lord of the White Promethian waved his horsetail whisk with a smile.
Lin Qiye sat in the wheelchair and cupped his hands toward the Star Lord. "Many thanks to the Star Lord."
...
"Bro, I'll leave you here. Get some rest."
Standing before Lin Qiye's residence, Yang Jian clapped the dog-leather wheelchair. "I'm leaving Goul, er, Little Black Mole here. If anything happens, it'll notify me right away."
"Don't worry, I understand." Lin Qiye smiled at him.
After repeated instructions, Yang Jian finally turned to leave.
Watching Yang Jian's retreating figure disappear, Lin Qiye patted the armrest of the dog-leather wheelchair and laughed, "Let's go inside. Never thought in my lifetime you'd be carrying me around, Little Black Mole..."
The dog-leather wheelchair automatically turned around and slowly rolled into the house. Faintly, Lin Qiye could hear Little Black Mole's whimpering sound coming from behind.
The accommodation at Heavenly Court looked no different from the Jade Pool. Lin Qiye took a brief tour and returned to the courtyard. He placed both hands on the wheelchair armrests, wanting to try standing up for some simple rehabilitation exercises.
As if sensing Lin Qiye's intention, the dog-leather wheelchair transformed into two low horizontal bars commonly seen in rehabilitation hospitals, convenient for Lin Qiye to steady himself. Beneath the bars was even a body fat scale to monitor his physical changes in real-time.
Lin Qiye was startled, then cursed with a laugh, "Modern society's gadgets really get mastered by you transfigured gods..."
Just as Lin Qiye was exercising vigorously, dripping with sweat, a knock came from the front of the courtyard.
Lin Qiye turned to look, confusion flickering in his eyes. He wheeled himself on Little Black Mole back toward the gate.
Creak—!
Lin Qiye opened the courtyard door, but behind it was empty.
No one?
Then what was knocking just now?
Lin Qiye looked around suspiciously. He closed the door and was about to turn around when he caught a figure in his peripheral vision.
His heart skipped a beat.
It was a ten-meter-tall Seraph with six wings on its back.
He stood there silently in the courtyard, like a tall, sacred giant,低下头，沉默的俯视着这个坐在轮椅上的凡人。
Michael?!
"Is that you?"
"It's me." Michael glanced indifferently at the training traces Lin Qiye had left in the courtyard. "It seems your recovery is going well."
Lin Qiye managed to calm his startled heart and looked at him helplessly. "It's alright... So, if you could just materialize in directly, why did you knock?"
"I heard that knocking before entering is proper etiquette in Great Xia."
A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye's mouth. "...Thank you for your etiquette."
In the silent courtyard, a tall, sacred angel faced a mortal in a dog-leather wheelchair. They stared at each other, and the air fell silent.
"Do we have to stand here talking? Looking up at you like this, my neck hurts."
Lin Qiye rubbed his not-yet-recovered neck and pointed toward the interior of the house. "If it's convenient, let's go inside and sit down to chat?"
"Alright."
Michael briefly agreed, turned, and walked toward the house. His ten-meter-tall form rapidly shrank until he was an ordinary figure around 1.8 meters, stepping into the house and sitting down.
Lin Qiye wheeled himself back into the house, brewed a pot of tea with supplies on the table, and placed it before Michael.
Michael looked down at the floating tea leaves in the cup before him, motionless, as if pondering how to use this thing.
Lin Qiye sat across from Michael. After a long silence, he finally broke the quiet and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life."
"Mm."
Michael nodded slightly.
"..." A barely perceptible twitch appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye's mouth. "Did you come all the way down from the Moon specifically for me?"
"Don't misunderstand." Michael said calmly, "I came down for other matters. Visiting Heavenly Court was to see Great Xia's Lingbao Tianzun... If Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were here, half-dead.
Saving you was just顺手."
Lin Qiye: ...
Lin Qiye had thought Michael appeared at Heavenly Court simply to save himself... Now it seemed, he had been mistaken.
Then again, during the Cangnan disaster, Michael had already said that entrusting the Mortal Divine Realm to Lin Qiye was merely due to a transaction. In the end, there was no real connection between Him and Lin Qiye. If He had traveled all this way just to save Lin Qiye, that would have been unlikely.
Lin Qiye lifted his teacup and took a small sip. "Regardless, you still saved my life. I owe you one."
"You can repay me."
"?"
The tea in Lin Qiye's cup rippled, nearly spilling. "What did you say?"
"In a few days, after your body recovers, you may need to come with me." Michael said slowly. "You said you owe me, and this is also part of the transaction between me and your Great Xia's Heavenly Lord."
"What transaction did you make with Yuanshi Tianzun?"
"I came down from the Moon to investigate the culprit who unsealed the Moon fifty years ago. This matter alone is difficult for me to accomplish. I need the help of Great Xia's gods."
"Why specifically Great Xia's gods?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled. "Because of your good relations with Great Xia?"
"That's only part of the reason."
Michael imitated Lin Qiye's action, took a sip of tea, furrowed his brows slightly, and quietly set the cup down.
"More importantly, among all divine kingdoms in this world... only Great Xia has absolutely no Cthulhu Mythos contamination and is the safest and most trustworthy."
