"Sir... Our Lord wants us to bring you back..."
These words were like a thunderclap, silently detonating everyone's hearts and minds. The Custodian Guards and the Living Saint knelt before Li Feng, speaking those words with such reverence. Everyone knew who the Custodian Guards' "Our Lord" referred to!
"The Holy Emperor of Mankind! The Great Lord Emperor!"
At this moment, everyone fell silent, because Li Feng was a "friend of the emperor." The last person to hold such a title was the legendary chancellor in the myths, the one who bore the Imperial Seal!
"The Sigillite, Malcador the Hero!"
The happiest was Huron! He profited! He profited immensely! He was overjoyed! Hahahaha! I actually connected with the Lord Emperor! He finally understood what "one person's ascension elevates all their associates" meant. He was now eager to see the sycophantic bureaucrats of the Department of the Interior, so he could kick their asses with his boots.
Meanwhile, Azrael and Asmodai of the Dark Angels sensed a "secret" from this scene and the Custodian Guards' subtle words. That Li Feng definitely had a secret! And it was a big one!
Titus, on the other hand, felt nothing. He was still thinking about the Chaos Terminator at the factory gate; he should have just executed it. If he had executed the one behind it first, he could have torn apart two Chaos Terminators at once.
Leandros was already contemplating where he would be buried. He had actually accused a friend of the emperor of being a Heretic. Chapter Master Forros of the Carcharodons and Chapter Master Coysan of the Mantis Warriors both looked at Huron. How did this kid manage to stumble upon all the good things? Their two Space Marine Chapters were among the worst-off in the entire Imperium. Although Huron hadn't treated them badly, they also wanted good fortune to fall into their laps!
And those Astra Militarum, those ordinary Soldiers and generals, could only stand motionless, unable to process this series of shocks. They had never expected to witness such a scene: the Lord Emperor's Custodian Guards personally appearing and kneeling before Li Feng. They had heard before that Li Feng had an impressive background, but they never imagined it was this impressive! It turned out that background was the Lord Emperor himself!
The Adeptus Mechanicus also knelt at this time. Theoretically, they didn't need to kneel to the Custodian Guards or the Living Saint; they were kneeling to Li Feng. Looking at the clueless flesh-and-blood bodies around them, they just felt that these people were truly out of the loop. They had long known that Li Feng was the "omnissiah." Was it surprising that the God-Emperor and the messiah were friends?
Most of the Nuns were in a state of infatuation. They gazed at the black-haired, beautiful, white-winged Living Saint Celestine. So beautiful... I want to touch her... (There's an image in the section comments)
Fides tightly clutched Li Feng's clothes. She now knew what Li Feng's secret was. Her heart had already accepted that Li Feng knew the Lord Emperor.
This was both good news and bad news for her. The good news was that she could wholeheartedly fall in love with Li Feng; he knew the Lord Emperor, he was a man who had passed the Lord Emperor's "review," and she could also get closer to the holy Lord Emperor, allowing her to serve loyally. (Empress: I asked you to help me, not to help me with this too!)
The bad news was that Li Feng knew the Lord Emperor. That meant Li Feng's girlfriend was at least a young lady from a High Lord's family, and she was just an ordinary high-ranking Sister of Battle. Could she really win against her? Although polygamy was common in the Imperium, Fides still wanted to be the main wife. Of course, being a concubine wasn't out of the question, but only if she lost convinced.
And the only honest man... Inquisitor Grendyl... he had fainted.
And Commissar Cain, in the crowd, was trembling. A huge conjecture formed in his mind. If this conjecture was true, then the Imperium itself would probably shake three times!
What Cain feared was not "Our Lord wants us to bring you back..." but the word "Sir"! Under what circumstances would the Custodian Guards use "Sir"? If Li Feng was merely a friend of the Lord Emperor, the Custodian Guards' address would likely be "Lord" rather than "Sir." "Sir" and "Madam" are used in similar situations.
What situation? Of course, it's to address the master's partner or lover! Cain was sure Li Feng wasn't a homosexual. So, for the Custodian Guards to call Li Feng "Sir," there was only one possibility!
The Lord Emperor was a woman! And Li Feng's "little girlfriend on Terra" was the Lord Emperor!
Cain was sweating! At this moment, he noticed Grand Sister Margaret kneeling beside him... she also seemed to be trembling. "G-Grand Nun... You haven't thought of the same thing as me, have you...?" Cain whispered.
"Don't bother me, I'm thinking!"
Grand Sister Margaret had guessed, but not completely! She hadn't guessed that the Lord Emperor was a woman and Li Feng was the Lord Emperor's boyfriend. As women, they were naturally sensitive to other women's gazes, micro-expressions, and micro-movements.
She had noticed Living Saint Celestine's gaze at Li Feng just now, and that sense of intimacy! And Li Feng showed no surprise or reaction upon seeing the Living Saint. This meant they knew each other! (In reality, Li Feng, as a transmigrator, already knew about Celestine's deeds).
And Celestine's gaze at Li Feng wasn't like looking at a friend of the Lord Emperor at all! It was clearly the gaze of someone looking at a stud! And that tongue lick! It was exactly the same as how Margaret imagined herself with a young man like Li Feng, her mind full of "big car crushing a child" scenarios!
She now suspected! Li Feng's girlfriend! Was the Imperium's Living Saint! The idol of the Battle Sisters! Saint Celestine!
Li Feng felt he hadn't seen the Custodian Guard in front of him in any lore, but it wasn't good to let them keep kneeling. So he quickly stepped forward, wanting to help them up, but he was still too weak!
However, feeling that Li Feng seemed to want him to get up, Little Kitten also stood up. Seeing Little Kitten rise, Li Feng also said to everyone around him:
"Don't kneel anymore, it's not New Year's yet, everyone get up!"
Just as everyone was about to stand up, Huron, who was always quick to act, immediately shouted: "Thank the friend of the emperor, the Ecclesiarchy's blesser, the Adeptus Mechanicus's mentor, the Astra Militarum's legendary colonel, the 'God of War of Frax'... and the prime minister of the badab sector! Li Feng!"
As a result of Huron's shout, everyone had to repeat the same words when they stood up: "Thank the friend of the emperor, the Ecclesiarchy's blesser, the Adeptus Mechanicus's mentor, the Astra Militarum's legendary colonel, the 'God of War of Frax,' and the prime minister of the badab sector! Li Feng!"
Huron was triumphant at this moment. See! My big backer in Badab! This is the kind of big brother I acknowledge! Now look at all of you! The Ultramarines, with their Ultramar's 500 Worlds, are nothing but "beggars" in Huron's eyes now.
Dark Angels? Hmph! Just people selling their heads!
At this moment, Azrael seemed to sense the thoughts in Huron's mind. He turned to look and saw Huron with a smug expression, as if saying:
"When you're out in the world, you need influence and connections! What path are you on? The Path of the Knight? ...Turns out you're just a small-time punk."
