It slid toward the middle.
After barely getting both hands to hold it, Iridia began gently and carefully washing, the butterfly wings on her back still fluttering lightly~
In fact.
Ye Li's body was spotless.
But what matters is not the result~, but the process~
"Let me help." Seeing Iridia a bit unsure, Rachael blinked her cat-like eyes and also reached over to help.
The two girls worked hard; to get it clean, their eyes were focused, and their heads lowered bit by bit....
Until they dipped below the waterline and two locks of hair rippled apart.
Ye Li felt as if he'd gone from a hot spring into an even more warm and moist environment...
As he enjoyed the warmth of the spring, he closed his eyes to rest and began to think about things—————
Xandar can serve as a testing field, and once the results come out, he could advance to the three great empires of the Kree, Skrulls, and Shi'ar, and then spread across the entire universe....
Thinking of this.
Ye Li patted Rachael's fair back and said, "In a bit, help me notify Barbara. I have something for her to handle."
He decided, to have Barbara handle the contact and cooperation with the Nova Empire, in the name of the Ghost Spider Club.
"Mm..... mm..."
Rachael nodded up and down, giving a muffled assent.
"That's nice, don't stop." Ye Li said, caressing her snowy back.
"Mm..." The cat-eyed girl obediently kept nodding.
Splash~
A burst of water splashed up in the center of the hot spring, sending out purple ripples.
"Phew!~"
Galacta popped her head out, a few droplets sliding down her pretty face like a purple lotus rising from the water—utterly charming.
She wasn't wearing that high-tech battle armor, but had changed into a purple dress.
"Where is it..... where is it... the tasty thing..."
After surfacing, the Devourer girl shook the droplets from her hair and looked around inquisitively.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Li asked in surprise.
"Susan told me there's something tasty here~!"
Galacta said sweetly, "So I'm checking if it's hidden under the water!"
As she spoke, she spotted Rachael and Iridia at work; her little nose crinkled. "Oh nice! Feeding someone else again and not feeding me!"
"I'll let you eat, I'll let you eat."
A divine-power lollipop formed in Ye Li's palm; he flicked it to her and said dismissively, "Off you go, don't get in the way here."
"Mmph..... using this thing to placate me again...." Although she said that, Galacta still happily popped it into her mouth.
And.
She flew over to the three of them, and while licking the lollipop, she watched their movements closely with those lovely eyes.
"Mmm... interesting, so that's how you eat it..."
Finding it amusing, the Devourer girl imitated them, rolling the divine lollipop back and forth in her mouth, her rosy little tongue sometimes curling, sometimes twining, fully wrapping the candy head, even impishly swallowing it deep into her small mouth and spitting it out again after a moment~
Apparently, eating candy this way was quite fun~
…..
"What are you looking at?
What's there to, see?"
Ye Li scooped a bit of water and sprinkled it lightly at Galacta. "If you've got nothing to do, go call Barbara over for me—hurry."
"Fine, I won't look—so stingy~"
With the lollipop held between her rosy lips, Galacta crossed her arms and said tsundere-style, "Who's Barbara? I don't know her. And I'm not a gofer!"
"I'll give you another one."
Ye Li tossed her another divine lollipop. "She's in Cabin 10; she probably hasn't gone to work yet."
"No problem!" Galacta's attitude flipped; delighted, she put both into her cherry lips at once~
"Then I shall go first... enjoy yourselves...."
The Devourer girl waved goodbye and teleported away in high spirits.
She could even do this without Ye Li's divine spider-silk suit.
…..
"Didn't expect this—Susan looks sexy and composed, but her personality's actually pretty scheming..."
Ye Li made a snarky comment about Susan tricking Galacta into coming over here.
"How am I scheming?" a soft, alluring female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
…..
At the same time, Ye Li sensed..... a soft, melting pressure against his back...
"You're here too."
"Mm-hm."
A pair of unseen arms slipped from behind Ye Li's shoulders and neck to wrap around his front, slowly going from invisible to translucent to visible.
Susan knelt on the spring's rim behind his back, waist bent, hips arched, resting her chin on his shoulder as she asked, "You're not happy to see me?"
"You're the Invisible Heroine—of course you go wherever you want." Ye Li raised a hand and stroked her smooth cheek.
"Hmph~"
Susan gave a light sniff with the tip of her nose and teased, "If my nose were as keen as Felicia's, I'd definitely catch all the different girls' scents on your hands~"
"Oh yeah...? Not that many...."
Ye Li brought his hand to his own nose and sniffed. "At most twenty-something."
"How many more do you want?" Susan shot him a sidelong glare. "Your blending of perfumes is about at this level, huh."
"Hearing you say that....." Ye Li pressed his other hand deeply into Iridia's hair and said, "I actually feel rather accomplished~"
"Hehe~" Susan smoothed the slender hand resting on his lower abdomen and said with a bright smile, "You men are all the same rotten type~!"
