Storm of Gods

Chapter 239 Christie's Special Preferences

Upon seeing Christy, Li Xin's face lit up with a bright smile. "I knew there weren't many polite people in the hotel. Did you come in person to urge me to finish my manuscript?"

“Whether it’s urging for the manuscript or checking on the case’s progress, it’s all good,” Christie said with a smile, closing the door behind her as she entered.

Christy wore a simple white low-cut robe. At night, her fair skin was highly alluring. She had a beauty that didn't need embellishment. Li Xin's mind went blank for a moment, but he wasn't really a hot-blooded youth. He still had some self-control and manners.

“I have the manuscript and the progress report. Which one should I do first?” Li Xin said. “What would you like to drink? I only have water here.”

“Water will do. Let me see what kind of priest he is, and I also want to see how you’re going to get Dantès out of trouble.” Christie was the first reader of The Utopia Chronicles and the first reader of all the manuscripts.

Li Xin very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Christy to sit down, "Editor-in-Chief, please take your time reading and give me some feedback."

He went to get some water; there was a cup he had specially prepared for Christie in the cabinet. As he passed the door, he locked it from the inside. The Lilong Inn was undoubtedly a warm place, but these guys were sometimes too inconsiderate. The soundproofing wasn't good, and it was one thing to listen, but why did they have to peek through the crack in the door? After all, not everyone has a quirk like David's.

Christy was engrossed in reading the manuscript. The plot of Utopia was very engaging, drawing her in instantly. Christy had many things to do, but once she got into the story, she became focused. The lights flickered, and Christy crossed her legs, her skirt slightly raised, revealing a section of her fair and slender calves. Her figure was like a work of art. A man's focused gaze is very attractive, but a woman, especially a woman like Christy, exudes charm when she is focused. At this moment, Li Xin could see the real Christy: her shoulders were thin, her back was straight, and her posture was elegant. How perfect must her jade-like figure be beneath her clothes?

Christie was engrossed in watching when she suddenly found herself being lifted up. She thought she was going to the bed, but found that Li Xin didn't move at all. Then her skirt was lifted up to her waist, and Li Xin hugged Christie from behind, lifting her up with one hand. Suspended in the air, Christie was a little overwhelmed. She was about to say that she was going to the bed, but what came out was a seductive moan.

I've invested.

Their perfect curves fit together, and the elasticity and sudden tremor truly shocked both of them.

hiss~~~
In an instant, Christie's will to resist crumbled. The manuscript fell from her hands, and her body tensed instinctively. Li Xin showed no sign of letting go of Christie, and even Christie's pale toes clenched. "To the bed..."

Li Xin didn't speak or move. Christy's body was light, soft, and fragrant, which allowed him to meld her into his body.

Christie felt Li Xin's roughness, and wrapped her arms around his neck. The lights flickered, and the two figures enjoyed the most beautiful night in Heldan.

After the passion subsided, the two remained intimately connected. Christy was listening intently to Li Xin describe his discoveries at the Metropolitan's place and some clues from Isaac's notes. Li Xin was exasperated; Christy seemed to particularly enjoy discussing such trivial matters at times like these.

"So, Isaac wasn't just a loser or a research fanatic, but someone who deliberately entered the Earth Mother Goddess Church and used its power to conduct artificial human experiments?" Christie said, each step closer to the truth exciting her.

“It’s been planned for a long time. Number Two must be plotting something very big against the Earth Mother Goddess Church, and it’s very likely that Isaac isn’t really dead,” Li Xin said. On the Dao Abyss Path, there are probably more than just life and death.

As a night watchman, this matter had no direct connection to him and Christie; it only aroused the shock of an observer. If Number Two succeeded in his plan, it would definitely cause the Earth Mother Goddess Church a lot of trouble. Perhaps due to the stimulation of the event, Christie's body trembled tightly. Her body was extremely sensitive, her snow-white skin flushed, yet her eyes were bright. "Your insight is truly remarkable, observing Isaac's emotions from his research. But he couldn't possibly be alive. No church would show mercy to heretics and traitors."

“I didn’t say he was alive, I just said he might not have completely disappeared. There are some secret techniques that can imprison the soul or something. From the time he was discovered until his execution, Number Two didn’t react at all. It was as if he just watched Isaac being executed. Don’t you think that’s a bit strange?”

Li Xin felt the moisture and applied the patch again; Herdan's moisture was indeed abundant.

"What do you mean?" Christie bit her lip, looking at Li Xin with a puzzled expression.

Li Xin rolled over, pinning Christy beneath him, and looked down at her. "Number Two went to such lengths. Whatever the plan against the Earth Mother Goddess Church is, Isaac's android must be a crucial element. If Isaac dies, wouldn't all that effort be wasted? Such a grand scheme, and then he's caught so easily and executed without any resistance. Of course, the Church will verify his identity before executing him, but is there any spell more powerful than soul-searching that can keep a soul alive? Although I don't understand that notebook, I doubt anyone other than Isaac himself could replicate this level of technology. Number Two has been active and experimenting all these years; surely there isn't another person at Isaac's level?"

Li Xin understands the barriers of science; a genius like Isaac is probably even rarer than a demigod.

“If your deduction is correct, then the target that Number Two is planning is very large, but judging from their continuous hunting, they should not have succeeded yet.” Christie’s long legs wrapped around Li Xin’s waist.

“Creation is the most difficult thing, and it’s possible that they’ve always lacked some conditions. That notebook is very important. I’ll continue reading it tomorrow. Maybe I can find some bigger clues. But at this point, is it still necessary for us to get involved in Number Two’s affairs? Perhaps Number One is the real target?” Li Xin asked.

After all, he's just a working man, and there are some things he can't control. Should the Night Watchers consider the risks of getting involved in the power struggle between Number Two and the Church of the Earth Mother?

“I remember that our Hextech researchers also valued notes. Some things can only be done with blueprints. They can’t do without them. I don’t know…” Christie said slowly, and then she and Li Xin were both stunned.

The experiment was accidental, which is why the data is so important. If Isaac is still alive, he would definitely want it back. But if the notebook is still with the Vatican, no one can break in, not even a demigod, unless the notebook leaves the Vatican...

In other words, it is highly likely that person number two infiltrated the Earth Mother Goddess Church to steal Isaac's notes!

The two were in the closest of relationships when a sudden change occurred; this moment was truly indescribable.

"Sister, I'm going back to check now!" She said this, but didn't move.

“Although the cathedral where the Metropolitan resides is not as grand as the Vatican, it is not a place that just anyone can barge into. The clergy guarding the sealed artifact are very powerful, and it is not appropriate for you to rush over here rashly. We cannot underestimate the Earthly Vatican; it could also be a trap they have set. If your deduction about Number Two is correct, then we need to reconsider our stance.” Christie gritted her teeth, her pent-up emotions teetering on the edge of spiraling out of control.

Li Xin also realized that the Earth Church had stood for a thousand years and didn't need an outsider like him. Those five clergymen looked like they were not to be trifled with. He gently brushed aside Christie's messy hair and said, "Sister, the work report is complete. We can rest now."

Christy gave Li Xin a charmingly disdainful look, as if to say, "So you're really taking a break."
