Pop~
Ye Li withdrew together with the water————.
"Mmm~...."
Susan couldn't help letting out a soft moan, then lifted her hazy brown eyes to glance at him with a hint of doubt and asked.
"What's wrong?.... Actually... I was just saying no with my mouth... you can keep going... you don't have to be gentle with me~"
"Your little brother's run into some trouble."
Ye Li brushed her hair and said, "Wait for me here a moment, I'll settle it right away."
"Something happened to Johnny?... Alright then..."
Hearing it was about her brother,
Susan didn't say anything more, just restlessly twisted her perfectly proportioned body and reminded him, "Hurry back, okay..."
"You little enchantress, you're really lethal."
Before leaving, Ye Li gave her soul-stealing slim waist a playful pinch.
Then his figure disappeared from sight.
…..
'With him there.... Johnny probably won't be in danger, right....'
As his sister, Susan naturally cared about her brother's safety; after Ye Li left, she fell into thought…
"Li, I'm here~"
Barbara's figure suddenly flashed into view by the edge of the hot spring pool at this moment.
When she saw Susan's posture, she exclaimed in surprise, "Yah~! Miss Susan?.... You're....."
"Mm-hmm~...." Susan lounged in the hot spring water with a lazy little hum and said, "It's exactly what you're thinking~"
"Alright then… congratulations. From now on we're sisters...."
Barbara didn't say much more either, glancing around as she asked, "What about Li? Did he leave?"
"Something came up on Earth; he went to handle it."
Susan gave her a sultry wink. "You can get ready first—later we'll do it together~"
"Oh..." Barbara looked at her in admiration. "You're not shy at all, totally opposite from Cindy—she blushes just from a little touch...."
"Is that so...." Susan smiled faintly and said, "Are all Asian girls that timid? I definitely have to see it for myself if I get the chance~"
…..
Suhu~
Only a few seconds after Peter pressed the emergency beacon, Ye Li appeared before him. "What's the situation?"
"Li! You're here!"
Peter hurriedly pointed at the device and said, "Quick! This thing is about to start up!"
Following his finger, Ye Li looked at the machine made up of several circular rings and said in realization, "So it's Gravitonium, I almost forgot about this."
"Looks like you can't handle it—let me."
Ye Li walked past Pietro; he seemed to be moving slowly, yet in the blink of an eye he was standing in front of the device.
The scrawny old man being held by Pietro stared in a daze and said in shock, "He... could he be...."
No matter how shocked this bespectacled old man was.
Ye Li spread his hand and let purple-gold divine power cover the Gravitonium, and began cleansing and refining it—————
Gravitonium is a very special substance; it can even absorb a person—or be absorbed by a person...
And those it absorbs leave residual wills within it.
Within it, Ye Li sensed many waves of painful wails.
However.
With a surge of divine power, he scrubbed away those impurities, leaving only pure, primordial Gravitonium.
Ka-ka-ka-
The spinning device was easily halted by him and slowly stopped turning.
Gurgle gurgle…..
The Gravitonium flowed toward Ye Li's palm like water, was drawn into his body, and merged as part of his divine physique.
"Let's test it."
Ye Li tried using the Gravitonium's power; he clenched his hand————
Clinking and clattering sounds rang out continuously.
All kinds of lab instruments and tables and chairs in the lab toppled toward one wall, as if that side were the floor.
The effect was about the same as the Rooster Talisman; looks like the Rooster Talisman can be handed to others to use.
"What did you do? You absorbed it?!"
The scrawny old man had never imagined Gravitonium could be used like this and felt his research had been for nothing....
Peter, Johnny, and the others were equally astonished… Could something this dangerous really be absorbed into a body?
Johnny and Pietro couldn't help having a worrisome association———
If their sisters got deeply 'involved' with Ye Li, would anything happen to them....
After wrapping it up, Ye Li exchanged a few brief words with Peter and the others, then immediately left again.
He'd been interrupted by this matter and was still holding back a lot of pent-up fire.....
…..
"You're back~ There wasn't any problem with Johnny's side, right?"
Seeing Ye Li reappear fully dressed, Susan knew nothing major had happened.
"Nothing serious—it's handled."
As Ye Li spoke, he glanced at Barbara. "You're here too."
Sitting by the spring with her toe tapping the water's surface, Barbara gave him a smile. "What did you need me for?"
"I've got some cooperative arrangements with the Nova Empire; I'm leaving them for you to handle.... For the specifics, just ask Veronica."
After explaining the situation to her, Ye Li tossed her the Rooster Talisman. "Take this as well."
Pak~
Barbara caught it precisely with an outstretched hand, glanced at the talisman in her palm, then gave Ye Li a soft smile and said, "Not keeping me to 'do some work'?"
Ye Li nodded gladly. "No problem, you're more than welcome."
Barbara's smile deepened; two clusters of light gathered behind her and formed a pair of ink-black Mockingbird wings.
"Then now, the battle begins~ charge"
