"Lin Fei—this goddess loves you to death!"
Leona hugged Lin Fei and kissed him.
Only after doing so did she realize what she'd just done, and she hurriedly jumped down from him.
Though she was loud, bold, and carefree by nature,
this kind of thing was still a first for her.
Inevitably, she felt a hint of embarrassment.
That said, she didn't find it unpleasant—nor did she regret it.
She genuinely had a good impression of Lin Fei.
Giving him a kiss didn't feel like a loss at all.
Lin Fei was also taken aback.
The Sun Goddess had actually ambushed him with a kiss.
This was his very first kiss since coming to the Super God universe.
He pressed a finger to his forehead and said narcissistically:
"Honestly, when a young girl in the midst of youthful awakening develops feelings for the opposite sex, that's perfectly normal."
"Especially when it's a handsome, agile, slightly humorous, and reliable guy."
"So, Leona, there's really no need to be embarrassed."
"I've long since passed my youthful phase."
Leona put one hand on her hip and slapped Lin Fei's shoulder.
"This is a special reward from this goddess—for being a good brother and handling things so reliably."
"And this was my first kiss."
"Oh? Then it looks like I really got lucky."
"Of course you did. You struck it big, Lin Fei."
"But since this goddess is generous, I'll just let my good brother have this advantage."
She waved her hand magnanimously.
Lin Fei laughed and said teasingly:
"Then Leona, how about we do it again?"
"That was too sudden just now—I didn't even get to savor it properly."
"As for that… it'll depend on when this goddess is in a good mood."
Leona crossed her arms, her expression proud.
Heavenly Dao Star, inside the Grand Hall.
Pan Zhen sat calmly in his seat, resting his chin on one hand.
Before him played the footage of Lin Fei helping Leona smooth things over.
His stern, square face carried a trace of interest as he watched Lin Fei closely.
"So even I can't see through him? Interesting."
He was extremely interested in Lin Fei's genes and energy.
Even though he couldn't immediately determine Lin Fei's genetic classification,
judging from Lin Fei's performance, his strength was undeniably impressive.
The Blazing Sun Civilization was nothing like Dukao's group of DeNo remnants.
DeNo No.3—that massive computer that had stagnated after DeNo's destruction—
was already obsolete.
As a god-tier civilization, the Blazing Sun possessed far more advanced computational systems.
Although they still couldn't analyze the exact nature of the energy inside Lin Fei's body,
they could roughly estimate that its output far exceeded nuclear energy—
By at least two entire orders of magnitude.
This alone made Pan Zhen deeply intrigued.
Especially after hearing Lin Fei claim that he came from Blue Star.
Pan Zhen was extremely familiar with Blue Star.
The Super God Academy's strength was just so-so—
mainly carried by that "monkey."
Other than that, Blue Star had virtually no combat power worth mentioning.
As for the so-called Galaxy Power or Star God of War—
they were still far too young.
Not even worth bringing up.
What he valued wasn't their current strength,
but their potential and future.
Whether it was Blue Star or the DeNo descendants in the Super God Academy,
there was simply no way they could produce a god like Lin Fei.
They lacked both the capability and the resources.
Even the materials used to upgrade super soldiers
or to forge Dark Alloy armor
had all been supplied by the Blazing Sun Civilization.
Precisely because of this,
Pan Zhen grew even more curious about Lin Fei's origins.
That said, this could be investigated later.
From Lin Fei's attitude toward Dukao and the others,
it was clear he hadn't joined the Super God Academy.
And their goddess Leona
seemed to get along extremely well with this mysterious god.
If that was the case—
Perhaps they could use Goddess Leona
to learn more about this enigmatic god.
Or, going a step further,
maybe they could even persuade him to ally with the Blazing Sun.
Pan Zhen picked up the wine glass on the table and drained it in one go.
"Hm?"
Just as he was about to set it down,
he suddenly saw—
After ending the communication,
Goddess Leona actually made such an intimate move toward Lin Fei.
His vision went black.
Crack!
Fine fractures instantly spread across the wine glass in Pan Zhen's hand.
"Goddess Leona actually—!"
He had watched Leona grow up.
All her etiquette and decorum had been taught—
mostly by female instructors, true—
but he had personally admonished her many times
to pay attention to her image in public.
This… this was outrageous!
Thankfully, Pan Zhen was a veteran who had weathered countless storms.
As the Regent King of the Blazing Sun
and the guardian of the Goddess,
his mental fortitude was exceptional.
Otherwise, that scene alone might've made him jump to his feet in rage.
Still—
Though he acknowledged Lin Fei's strength
and the aura of mystery surrounding him,
Pan Zhen's gaze toward Lin Fei grew noticeably sharper and more dangerous.
He had watched Leona grow up.
He was her guardian—
and, in many ways, treated her like his own daughter.
Even if Lin Fei was powerful and mysterious,
wanting to become the Blazing Sun's god-consort
was not something that could be settled by mystery alone.
"Mao Shen."
"Find an opportunity to test his true strength."
"Although Goddess Leona has a good impression of him,
the male god of the Blazing Sun
is not a role just anyone can take."
"Yes! This subordinate accepts the order!"
Pan Zhen stared at Lin Fei's image on the screen, fell silent for a moment, then added:
"Before you make a move, remember to clearly state that you bear no hostile intent."
Mao Shen's strength was more than sufficient.
Otherwise, Pan Zhen would never have allowed him
to secretly protect Goddess Leona.
Having Mao Shen probe this mysterious god
was enough in his eyes.
Even if Mao Shen lost,
they should still be able to uncover some of Lin Fei's底牌—his hidden depth.
Of course, even for a test—
there was no need to needlessly create an enemy
filled with unknowns and danger for the Blazing Sun.
"Yes. This subordinate understands."
Mao Shen, though puzzled by the general's extra instructions,
did not question the order.
An order from the general only required obedience.
Moreover, he had already wanted to make a move against Lin Fei earlier—
but that would've been an unauthorized action, requiring permission.
Now that the general had given the command,
he had nothing left to worry about.
He looked into the distance, toward where Lin Fei and Leona had departed.
That audacious red-haired bastard
who had dared to repeatedly offend their main god,
forcing him to swallow his anger again and again—
This time, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
