Qian Beichen didn't know how long he had waited for her. How he always check the spirit logs, how he awaits by the ghost gate, he remembers everything but the time goes fast that he didn't know whether it is time for the flowers to bloom. The axe forgets, but the tree remembers. He remembered clinging on to the hope that he will see the Princess' spirit or her reincarnation, the sole reason why agreed not to be erased from the wheel of life.

But he never saw her even once.

It is so empty. His mother once said that when a living being fell in love, part of their life will transfer to their other half. But Qian Beichen loved only once so he gave it all until nothing left for him. There's nothing else that he can place his love.

No one knows, not even the Jade Emperor, that he will give up everything after helping Li Bai out. Li Bai's words shook his decisions, he also didn't want to regret but what can he do when everything is too late? Can he find the relief he's looking for if he obliterate his soul and never to reincarnate again?

"Qian Beichen, leave their side and join us. You are more powerful than them and you know that." The Princess eagerly persuaded the dazed man.

It is true, if Agent 013 decided to join the fallen gods, the celestial gods would have a harder time fighting back. However, Qian Beichen didn't like chaos. He didn't understand why the Princess who taught him that violence is the answer become so blood thirsty. He doesn't recognize this familiar yet stranger feeling from his love.

"...Princess, why are doing this?" Qian Beichen slowly approached the beautiful woman.

The woman turned his head and laughed, "Do I even need a reason why we do this? Don't you think the so called gods in the celestial realm are disgusting? Acting like they are noble and superior when they hide the stench inside them?"

The Princess reached out and held Qian Beichen's chin, she continued, "Remember how they wanted to kill you without mercy, did they even think that you didn't chose to be born as a bug?"

Agent 013's eyes widened and his hands trembled. These are the thoughts he had hid deep in his heart. Being suddenly exposed by the woman he loved made his mind weak. It is true, everything is true. The one he love is on the side of the fallen gods, he doesn't have any reason to stay by the celestial realm.

The 'Princess' noticed that Qian Beichen is slowly lowering his defenses. A sinister smile appeared on her face. The once beautiful face turned wretched. Her hand that was connected to the space rift swiftly went down towards Agent 013's direction. Just as the hand was about to scoop out Agent 013's heart, a figure appeared behind her and sliced her arm off.

"Ugh! You pretentious gods!" The 'Princess' grabbed her bleeding shoulders that is missing an arm. Another fallen god grabbed the woman and distanced themselves from them.

Qian Beichen woke up from his daze and looked at the twitching arm in shock. A hand pulled him into an embrace. There is a soft lips that is intimately touching his own, the kiss turned more aggressive when he didn't responded. The other's grip on his waist turned tighter and a tongue was inserted on his mouth.

Agent 013 reacted after realizing that he was being kissed by someone. He didn't need to push the person away because it voluntarily let him go. In Qian Beichen's eyes, a handsome man is holding his waist but the other is currently glaring at him. The man's voice is deep and hoarse as it scolded him, "You fucking idiot! You are almost killed by that wrench! I really want to beat you up in the bed!"

Agent 013 heard the cursing of the man and felt something is off. How come this man sounded like the princess? Even the Princess' foul mouth is a hundred percent similar. He became extremely confused, who's the woman who looked like the princess and this man who feels the same like the princess?

The Jade Emperor's voice sounded alive them, "Good job, little brother! Now both of you get out of there!"

The two didn't answer but they obeyed the emperor and dispersed to their allies. The Jade Emperor and his wife ultimately closed the space rift and the surge of demon minions stopped. The fallen gods can't retreat and can only fight back. Qian Beichen put away everything that happened earlier to the back of his mind and concentrated with fighting.

Agent 016, who is missing for some time, appeared beside him as they battled. "Sorry, I'm late. There was a problem on the data system so I went above to fix it. Have you seen 036?"

"En. He just asked me to find you." Agent 013 notified Agent 0136 and the other went to their location fast.

"Baby, how can you abandon me? I'm so hurt." Agent 036 pouted while he decapitated a fallen god. Agent 016 rolled his eyes and grabbed Agent 013 to ignore his lover.

Suddenly being caught in the middle of his friends' lovers quarrel, Qian Beichen's bad mood turned worse as he let Agent 016 drag him around to kill enemies. Every time Agent 036 get's near, Agent 016 would drag him again in another location. This unfortunate circumstance made the trio's batting power doubled and the fallen gods were soon outnumbered by them.

A man beside the Jade Emperor, frowned as he watched Qian Beichen being touched by others. The Jade Emperor patted his wife and looked over at his foolish little brother, "Why aren't you going there to Qian Beichen's side now that you showed him your real form? Your glare can kill a fallen god,  Yu Huang Guang"

Yu Huang Guang, or more known as the Underworld Agency's Main System, punched his older brother's arm in retaliation. He looked at Qian Beichen's gallant figure and sulked, "I think he's angry because I kissed him. I told him that I will beat him up in the bed in anger but I'm more scared he'll beat me up instead."

The Jade Emperor, Yu Huang Shangdi, laughed at his brother. "Who told you to do that? How about your sister-in-law and I help you by wrapping you in ribbon and present you to Qian Beichen as a living sacrifice?"

Yu Huang Guang ignored his brother and charged to the fallen god's leader. He mumbled under his breath, "Should I do what big brother said?"
