Chapter 10 - Ch: 317-325

But... wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Mei asked hesitantly.

"Not at all... I have plenty of rooms at my place!" Zhou Ye said with a smile.

Soon—Mei Riley knew what Zhou Ye meant by having 'plenty of rooms.' She looked at the incredibly luxurious mansion before her, her mouth agape. "This... this is your house?"

"Of course, let's go in." Zhou Ye said, pulling Mei into his mansion without explanation.

"Master, dinner is about to be served, the mistresses are all waiting for you!" A maid came over, taking off Zhou Ye's coat as she spoke.

"Wait a moment, I'll take this young lady upstairs to freshen up first!" Zhou Ye said, putting his arm around Mei and heading towards the second floor...

"Ye, is this okay? Is it really alright to keep the mistresses waiting?" Mei Riley looked constrained. Although she was fascinated by this man who she had a good impression of, and she didn't know what the so-called 'mistresses' meant, she didn't want him to be put in an awkward position because of her.

"It's fine, they're all family."

As he spoke, Zhou Ye had already brought her to a bedroom, opening the bathroom door for her, and saying, "You can use the toiletries here, they're all new. The towels and everything have just been changed, so don't worry about them being someone else's..."

"What about you?" Mei asked, holding onto the door frame and looking at Zhou Ye before he pushed her into the bathroom.

To be honest, although she knew it was impossible, Mei still wanted Zhou Ye to wait for her outside. Truly... in a strange place, this man who she felt deeply for seemed to have become her only support...

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you outside." Zhou Ye said with a smile, putting Mei at ease. Immediately, she felt much more relaxed.

"Okay!"

Mei Riley unconsciously revealed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. She herself didn't notice why she had become so attached to this man she had only just met less than an hour ago.

"This really isn't easy..." Zhou Ye sat on the sofa in the bedroom, smiling as he looked at the closed bathroom door.

To make this little cutie completely trust him, Zhou Ye even used his hypnosis ability, which he hadn't used in a long time...

What? You say that's very despicable? Nonono, there's nothing despicable about picking up girls. Zhou Ye always believed that as long as a trick works, it's a good trick. Despicable or not... do you need to care so much? At least he hasn't resorted to forcing himself on her, which is already very principled...

Just as Zhou Ye was feeling pleased with himself for regaining some of his principles, Mei in the bathroom had already started washing up...

Removing the exaggerated makeup, washing away the explosive hairstyle, a fresh and pure girl appeared in the mirror.

Tonight, Mei Riley had experienced too many dramatic changes. A friend tried to rape her, and then was killed in front of her by a beautiful maid... All of this had left her mentally exhausted, and the just-right water temperature unconsciously relaxed her...

Without knowing when—Mei Riley lay in the massage bathtub, falling into a deep sleep...

"Mei? Are you okay...?"

"Say something... Mei?"

"I'm coming in...?"

"I'm really coming in...?"

After calling out a few times, Zhou Ye directly opened the bathroom door and walked in. In fact, calling out those few times was just for show, he clearly knew what had happened inside...

"Mei, without makeup, is indeed very beautiful..." Zhou Ye looked at the little beauty sleeping in the bathtub, smiling as he spoke. At this moment, Mei, covered in water droplets, was as moving as a mermaid.

"Although it's a constant temperature... but soaking for too long isn't good for your skin..." Zhou Ye said, bending down and directly picking up Mei Riley, walking out of the bathroom...

Gently placing Mei on the sofa, Zhou Ye took out a bath towel and helped her wipe away the water droplets on her body. Perhaps because Zhou Ye's movements were too comfortable, Mei couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

"Damn little enchantress... don't you know how hard I'm trying to hold back?" Zhou Ye couldn't hold back any longer, throwing the bath towel in his hand to the ground, and then said a sentence to the personal terminal on his hand. "Qiu, have the mistresses eat first, I estimate I won't make it..."

"What's wrong? Ye..." Mei's words only earned her Zhou Ye pouncing on her.

"Ugh— — — —"

Chapter 425

Two hours later— — — —

"Heavens—am I destined to lose my virginity tonight?" Mei Riley hugged Zhou Ye tightly, complaining, but she had a hint of a smile on her face.

"Yes, that's right, you are destined to lose your virginity on my bed tonight!" Zhou Ye's words made Mei Riley couldn't help but roll her eyes. She could be considered to know the true face of this man, gentleness and refinement was his disguise, he was a beast.

Just at this moment, a gurgling sound rang out, Zhou Ye's action of stroking Mei paused, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah!" Mei nodded lightly, tonight was both a desperate escape, and filled with anxiety, and finally there was also a fierce bed exercise, how could she not be hungry.

"Let's go downstairs to eat..." Zhou Ye said, picking up Mei and standing up. To be honest, this girl's figure is really not ordinary, big where it should be big, and curvy where it should be curvy... Zhou Ye expressed his satisfaction.

"I'll do it myself..." Mei said, struggling to get down from Zhou Ye's arms, and stumbled as soon as her feet hit the ground, the sharp pain in a certain place made her grit her teeth.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Ye hurriedly supported her.

"I'm fine..." Mei endured the pain, took two steps, and could barely bear it, so she let go of Zhou Ye's arm and wanted to get her clothes.

"No... darling, your clothes are here." Zhou Ye said, taking out a few boxes from the side, which were filled with clothes for Mei to wear.

To be honest, most of these clothes were taken from his women, those women love to sweep the streets when they have nothing to do... In addition, Zhou Ye doesn't care about that little money, their wardrobes can't fit anymore, many clothes were bought and never worn.

It just so happened that they knew that their man had brought a new woman back, and based on their understanding of Zhou Ye, the women who could be brought into this house basically couldn't escape, so after hearing the maid say Mei's approximate measurements, they simply took out the clothes they had never worn and gave them to the newcomer, which was also a show of goodwill. They are all the latest popular styles this year, and there is no problem with being outdated.

Because they know how to make their man satisfied, and they know what their man is most taboo about...

"Are these really for me to wear?" Mei looked at the familiar brand logos on the clothes bag. As a girl, maybe she may not know who Captain America is, but she will definitely know what the latest fashion is. Obviously, Mei also knows these logos. For her, these are clothes that she once could only dream of...

Perhaps the price of this one piece of clothing would make it impossible for her to afford it even if she worked odd jobs for a year...

"You know... I... what I want is not these..." Mei said a little at a loss. Does she like these brands? Of course she likes them, no girl wouldn't like them, but she doesn't want Zhou Ye to misunderstand that she is a vain girl, uh, now she should be a woman.

"Of course I know..." Zhou Ye saw Mei's thoughts, walked over, and gently hugged her. "In fact, these were not given to you by me, and I also know that you are not a vain girl, these are just the greeting gifts from the ladies below..."

"Then... then I have to thank those ladies properly..." Mei thought that the ladies in Zhou Ye's mouth might be Zhou Ye's relatives or something...

"I also think you should thank them properly..." Zhou Ye smiled, he wouldn't reveal it now, it wouldn't be fun to reveal it now.

After Mei changed her clothes, Zhou Ye had a stunning feeling. The original fluffy explosive head had now been tied into a side ponytail, slightly fluffy and draped diagonally on her shoulders, and the well-fitting black trousers set off her upturned buttocks, adding a bit of temptation...

The white base shirt and the red knitted coat gave Mei a bit of the cuteness of a stay-at-home woman... The whole image made Zhou Ye couldn't help but hug her. "Baby, I don't want to let you go down now..."

"...Darling, can we talk about it after we finish eating?" Mei's body softened by Zhou Ye's movements, and she couldn't help but beg: "I really can't do it now..."

"...Alright!" Zhou Ye reluctantly let her go temporarily, he knew that Mei was indeed already exhausted...

When Zhou Ye took Mei downstairs and came to the restaurant, Mei looked at the fourteen beautiful women with different styles sitting around the rectangular dining table, they were looking at her with curious eyes.

"Hi..." Mei said with some embarrassment.

"Hi—I'm Joan Agnes. You can call me Joan." Joan stood up with a smile, and said friendly: "This is Millie, Heidi..."

She also enthusiastically introduced Mei to her sisters one by one.

"Hi, everyone…" Mei seemed to be infected by Joan's enthusiasm and boldly introduced herself. "My name is Mei Riley… You can call me Mei, or you can call me Riley."

"Hi, Mei… What do you think of this dress?" A girl pointed to the dress Mei was wearing and asked.

"I think it's great!"

"I knew it—this dress definitely matches Mei's temperament…" the girl said happily.

"…" Mei looked at the happy girl, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Don't mind her…" Joan said with a smile, "When she bought this dress, we ridiculed her for a long time because her skin tone didn't match the dress… Now she has finally found someone to prove her vision, although the person wearing it isn't her…"

"This is really…" Mei didn't know what to say.

"Okay, let's eat…" Joan said, winking at Mei, "We've been waiting to see your new dress, and we haven't eaten yet!"

"Thank you so much…" Mei was embarrassed by Joan's words. They had been waiting for her for so long to eat. In comparison, she and Ye were fooling around upstairs, which seemed a bit too much…

"Don't listen to her nonsense…" Zhou Ye rolled his eyes, "They're just curious about you!"

"Curious about me? Why are they curious about me?" Mei was confused by Zhou Ye's words.

"Curious about what kind of beauty the new member of this family is." A girl's words made Mei feel as sweet as honey. It seemed that Ye's family had begun to accept her… She was very happy.

Three women make a drama, so what do fourteen women make? Zhou Ye would tell you, it's a large-scale suspenseful detective action palace drama…

At the dinner table, Mei was surprised that these girls were so beautiful and young, so why did the maids call them Madam? Whose Madam were they?

Finally, after dinner, while having dessert, Mei couldn't help but ask…

"Why are you so young, but the maids call you Madam?"

Her words silenced the entire restaurant, and all the girls turned their attention to Zhou Ye, the head of this family.

"Honey, haven't you told her yet?" Joan asked.

"I haven't had time to say it…" Zhou Ye shrugged, looking innocent.

"What? Tell me what?" Mei looked at the strange expressions of the women, and a hint of speculation arose in her heart…

Although the women called Zhou Ye "Honey," "Honey" was not an exclusive term between lovers. Many times, family members would also use "Honey" as a pronoun, but at this moment, Mei seemed to understand something…

"Then let me tell you…" Joan looked at her man's indifferent appearance, knowing that her man would definitely not let go of this new sister…

"…What? Tell me what…" Mei said with a forced smile, "Don't tell me you are actually a vampire family…"

"No, dear, there's no use in avoiding it. This is something you'll have to face sooner or later…" Joan said, looking at Mei's evasive eyes, "You should have seen it. Actually, we are all Ye's women. That's why the maids call us Madam. In this family, only Ye's women are called Madam…"

"Don't joke with me like that… Haha… This isn't funny at all…" Mei looked at everyone in disbelief, "It's almost the twenty-first century, and you're telling me that there's still a man who can marry so many wives…?"

"This isn't a joke…"

"No, I don't believe it…" Mei looked at Zhou Ye with pleading eyes, "Honey, tell me, this is just a joke…"

"…" Zhou Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "It's true. Joan wasn't joking…"

"Why…" Mei stood up and questioned loudly, "Why… Why did you have to provoke me when you have so many women…?"

"Because of this…" Zhou Ye was too lazy to say anything more, so he directly picked up Mei, ignoring her struggles, and walked towards the second floor…

The other girls looked at each other and consciously followed… They knew that it was time for the new recruit's inherent program. It had been a long time since the mansion had a new recruit welcome ceremony. Natasha and Peggy were stationed in Washington, and Zhou Ye had been traveling around the world recently, so it had been a long time since there had been such an interesting ceremony… The girls were also a little impatient.

Upstairs in the room—five hours later.

"You are a beast… Mr. Beast!" Mei bit Zhou Ye's shoulder fiercely. She couldn't do anything about it. This time, she really knew what kind of existence her man was…

Looking at the carnage on the big bed, she was too lazy to think about how many women Zhou Ye had now. What she was interested in now was, how many women would this guy need to pacify him?

Chapter 426

Three years later—

"Honey, you really don't have to come and see me off…" Susan said, but the smile on her face couldn't be concealed.

Today was the day she was admitted to MIT, and her man, the guy who stopped going to school after he hooked up with her, actually drove her to Cambridge, Massachusetts. This was a pleasant surprise… But, she definitely couldn't give him a smile, who told him to abandon her at school for three years.

"Baby… You know, I really hate going to school…" Zhou Ye looked at the girl who was still pretending to be angry, and explained helplessly.

"But I don't think you hate the school's gym… and the locker room…" Every time Susan said a place name, Zhou Ye felt his eyelids twitch.

This girl was acting spoiled with him… These places were all former battlefields that had left traces of their battles… If you haven't fought in those places, how dare you say you've been to school? You're so naive.

Zhou Ye also had his own tricks to deal with Susan like this. He smiled slightly, held the steering wheel with one hand, and gently stroked Susan's cheek with the other, saying, "Listening to you, I also feel that school seems pretty good… Speaking of which, I really haven't had the experience of going to college. I really yearn for places like the university library… and the computer lab—I'm now considering whether to get in and keep you company? Baby."

"…" Hearing Zhou Ye's words, a certain girl who was pretending to be angry couldn't pretend anymore. Her eyes were watery, and she glared at Zhou Ye, then deliberately leaned under the steering wheel…

"Oh… baby, yes, do it like that…"

On the interstate highway, an Umbrella-produced supercar suddenly drew a zigzag shape and began to accelerate wildly…

The real-life version of Speed ​​and Passion is being hotly screened…

The speed once reached more than 600 kilometers per hour… Helicopters and police cars followed behind in a line, but it was useless… After Zhou Ye's passionate road trip across the United States reached Cambridge Town, someone would naturally get in his car to take the blame for him, and there would also be a team of lawyers to help him fight the lawsuit… So he didn't care at all.

The journey that normally takes forty-two hours, Zhou Ye completed in less than twenty hours… Because his car used a nuclear fusion battery, he didn't need to refuel at all… But those poor police cars couldn't…

In the end, even the person Umbrella arranged to take the blame for him didn't show up, because…

"Honey, what are you doing again? Do you know that your speeding has actually made those people start asking SHIELD for help…" Peggy's image appeared in front of Zhou Ye.

"Wow, I thought they would send fighter jets to chase me…" Zhou Ye laughed. "I'm just sending Susan to MIT."

"…Is Susan there too?" Peggy asked.

"Hi, Peggy—" Susan put her face in front of Zhou Ye's watch and greeted Peggy.

"Hi, Susan, congratulations on being admitted to MIT…"

"Thank you…" Susan laughed, "Peggy, it's really ugly for you to pretend to be old like this. Aren't you planning to retire yet?"

"…I'll retire after I arrange things inside SHIELD…" Peggy laughed, "However… I don't have a suitable successor yet…"

"Isn't Nick Fury okay?" Zhou Ye asked.

"I don't like his style, so I don't plan to consider him…" Peggy directly passed over the original director of SHIELD.

Okay, let's travel around the world together after you retire…" Zhou Ye said with a smile, "My new yacht, the Emperor, is almost finished…"

"Okay, I'll consider it…" Peggy said, "I'll send an official letter to the police now, proving that you are on an emergency mission. Okay, Susan, have fun…"

"Okay, thank you, Peggy." Susan waved goodbye to Peggy with a smile.

"Bye-bye…"

After hanging up the communication, Zhou Ye opened the car window and called over a man in a black suit who was waiting beside the car, looking like an ordinary office worker. "Okay, Peggy has taken care of things. You don't need to take the blame. Go back to work…"

"Yes, Master." The man said, turning and leaving Zhou Ye's car.

"Damn rich people, they can even find someone to take the blame for their crimes…" Susan muttered softly.

"Don't forget, you are now a rich man's woman. You have to try to stand in this class and see the world…" Zhou Ye smiled and gently kissed Susan's lips. "Okay, now I can drive you directly to school…"

"I can't wait to see what the new school looks like…" Susan said happily.

Zhou Ye drove his car directly into MIT. Although outside vehicles are not allowed to enter, Zhou Ye's car is an exception. Why? Because of the huge amount of sponsorship fees that Umbrella gives to MIT every year, because of the countless research projects and research funding received from Umbrella every year… and because of the Umbrella logo on the front of Zhou Ye's car.

Whether you want to admit it or not, there is always a privileged class in this society.

Susan looked at the parents outside the car who were pointing and whispering about her car while dropping off their children, and asked somewhat uneasily, "Honey, aren't we being too high-profile like this…"

"Don't mind the wails of those losers in life…" Zhou Ye glanced at the parents, who were obviously angry that their cars couldn't enter the school. "They understand better than anyone what kind of society America is, but they are just desperately pretending to be unafraid of powerful people here in order to give their children a hope."

"…" Susan was speechless. Her man seemed to look down on American society very much… Actually, it wasn't that Zhou Ye looked down on it. In fact, Zhou Ye thought this kind of society was great, at least for rich people.

"Where are we going? My dormitory isn't here…" Susan looked at Zhou Ye turning his car into a quiet villa area and asked hesitantly.

"Of course, we are going to your dormitory, but not the dormitory the school assigned to you, but the dormitory I found for you…" Zhou Ye said, parking his car in front of a detached villa, skillfully using the controller in the car to open the garage door of the villa and driving the car in…

"…Don't tell me you are also keeping a college girl here…" Susan thought about her man's character, and then thought about the girl's clothes she had just seen drying on the second floor of the villa, and instantly felt like she had found the truth.

"…You're thinking too much, baby. This is where my goddaughter lives… I just want you to have a companion!" Zhou Ye said helplessly. After all, Nina hasn't been won over yet, so she can't be considered his woman, so he's not lying.

"…Okay, I almost forgot the fact that I fell in love with an old monster." Susan complained about Zhou Ye's age.

"…That old monster wants to kiss you…" Zhou Ye said, hooking Susan's chin and smiling.

"… " Susan also obediently closed her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly saw a girl in a white nightgown standing in front of the car with tears in her eyes, and was immediately shocked. "Honey, what is that…"

"… " Zhou Ye looked in the direction Susan was pointing, and it was his adopted daughter, Nina Stark… "Nina, what's wrong? Why are you here? What happened?"

Zhou Ye looked at Nina, who was full of tears, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly pushed open the car door, got out, stood in front of Nina, and asked anxiously.

"…Godfather…my dad…my dad he…" Nina was so sad that she couldn't even finish her words… Hearing her godfather's words, she suddenly remembered the address the butler had told her.

"What's wrong with Howard?" Zhou Ye asked.

"My dad had a car accident…" Nina finally said, hugging Zhou Ye and crying loudly…

…It shouldn't be. The Winter Soldier has been turned into a girl and hasn't fallen into the hands of the Old Maozi, and Hydra is in the hands of his own woman. She won't harm Howard again… How could this guy have a car accident?

Chapter 427

"Listen, Nina, baby, you can't cry now… Tell me, where is your dad now?" Zhou Ye asked quickly.

"Jarvis told me it's at George Washington Hospital…" Nina Stark was already so anxious that she was out of her mind… Hearing her godfather's words, she suddenly remembered the address the butler had told her.

"Okay, let's go…" Zhou Ye said, turning around and saying to Susan with a slightly apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, my dear Susan… I'm afraid I can't attend your freshman speech…"

"You go ahead, I'm fine." Susan had already heard everything clearly behind Zhou Ye. She wasn't some unreasonable princess, so she naturally wouldn't blame Zhou Ye for leaving her to see a friend who had a car accident.

"Baby, you're so great." Zhou Ye said, kissing Susan lightly on the cheek, and said directly to his goddaughter, "I've been to that place once, I'll open the door…"

With that, Zhou Ye directly opened an Anywhere Door.

He pulled Nina up and rushed in… As the two figures disappeared into the Anywhere Door, Susan sighed helplessly. Although she knew that Zhou Ye had something urgent to do, she was still a little regretful that he was absent from the most important moment of her life.

At this moment, Zhou Ye and Nina, who had arrived at Washington Hospital, rushed towards the emergency room… After asking the nurse along the way, the two came to the door of the operating room…

Coincidentally, the two saw the light in the operating room go out, and a doctor in a sterile suit came out.

"Doctor, how is Mr. Howard?" Zhou Ye hurriedly ran over and asked.

"I'm sorry—Mr. Stark and his wife had completely lost their vital signs when they were sent over. We were also powerless… We have done our best." The doctor said with a heavy face.

"… " Nina Stark fainted upon hearing the doctor's words. Losing both of her parents on the same day was too much for her to bear.

"… " Zhou Ye put his arm around Nina and broke into the operating room, looking at the couple on the operating table… Zhou Ye directly used Astral Projection—sure enough, the couple was watching their own corpses with great interest, and Howard was still sighing there.

"I didn't expect that I would die so ugly…" Howard's soul put his arm around his wife and smiled, "I hope it won't affect my image in the next life."

"It's a bit ugly, but it looks more honest than when you were alive." Maria teased her husband.

"I'm sorry, Maria…" Howard was silent for a moment, and then said, "If it wasn't because I insisted on driving fast—"

"No, dear, I feel very happy to have spent this life with you." Maria leaned in Howard's arms, with a gentle smile on her lips. "Thank God for letting me meet you. If there is a next life, I would still be willing to marry you…"

The two were about to kiss—

"I said, it's okay if you two die, but what about Nina?" Zhou Ye's voice suddenly made the two, no, now two ghosts, Zhou Ye's voice woke up the two ghosts who were about to lose control.

"Zhou—?" Seeing Zhou Ye, Howard's eyes suddenly widened, "Are you dead too?"

"Bah—that's bad luck, I'm not dead, I can't die even if everyone on Earth is dead…" Zhou Ye said twice. "I'm here with my goddaughter to see a certain car accident couple."

"Nina—" Zhou Ye's words made Maria, who loved her daughter so much, couldn't help crying. "My poor little darling… I will never see her again."

"… " Zhou Ye hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Howard, you know, I have some special abilities. With Umbrella's latest technology, I can let you two continue to live… Are you willing?"

"…"

"… … … … … … … … … … "

"… … … … … … … … … … … … … … "

"… … Let's forget it." Howard hesitated for a long time, but finally shook his head and rejected Zhou Ye's suggestion. "I've lived for almost seventy years, and I've actually lived enough. Besides—I don't want to taste the taste of death again, it really hurts like hell."

"But, if possible, can you help me resurrect Maria? She is still young, and Nina can't lose both her father and mother at the same time…" Howard pleaded, "For the sake of our many years of friendship, help me one last time, Zhou."

"… No, Howard, I want to be with you, I'm not going anywhere…" Maria became excited when she heard her husband's words. She shouted, "Do you want me to live a life worse than death in longing for you? Howard, you coward!!!!!"

"No…, listen to me, Maria…"

"I won't listen—I will never separate from you, never!!!!"

"… " Zhou Ye looked at the two who were arguing, and coughed twice, "You two, put all this aside for now, don't you want to see your daughter again?"

Perhaps it was the love for their daughter that temporarily stopped the arguing couple. They looked at Zhou Ye and said in unison, "Nina is here too?"

"No, she just heard the news of her parents' death and fainted... I'll bring her over now." Zhou Ye said, not waiting for the couple to speak, and directly returned to his body.

At this moment, Jarvis, who had just driven over, also arrived in the operating room. Looking at Zhou Ye holding his young lady, he anxiously asked, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with Miss Natasha?"

"She's fine, she just fainted temporarily due to excessive grief..." Zhou Ye said, looking at Jarvis with his silver hair, and said, "Now, help me keep all the nurses and doctors at the door of the operating room, can you do that?"

"Leave it to me, Mr. Zhou." Jarvis looked at Zhou Ye's serious expression, and he said confidently, "I will definitely keep those guys out."

"Go do it now, Jarvis."

"Okay, sir." Jarvis didn't say anything else. Based on the years of friendship between the two families, he believed that Zhou Ye must have something important to do, maybe it was about his master and madam, so he directly walked out of the operating room and blocked those doctors and nurses outside.

Looking at the operating room with no outsiders, Zhou Ye gently took out a golden pill and fed it into Nina's mouth. As soon as the golden pill entered her stomach, Nina woke up slowly. As soon as she woke up, she saw her parents lying on the operating table. Immediately, sorrow came from her heart, and she opened her mouth to cry, but Zhou Ye stopped her. "Nina, baby, if you cry again, I won't take you to see your parents..."

Hearing her godfather's words, Nina immediately remembered her all-powerful godfather, and hurriedly hugged Zhou Ye, begging, "Godfather, please, please save Daddy and Mommy..."

"...Baby, it's not that I don't want to save them, but someone doesn't want to come back to life."

"..." Nina was confused by Zhou Ye's words. Is there really such a fool?

"Forget it, baby, let them talk to you themselves..." Zhou Ye said, gently tapping Nina's forehead with his thumb... Instantly, Nina felt as if she saw her own back, no, it wasn't as if she saw her own back, but she really saw her own back...

"I...what's wrong with me? Godfather." Nina looked at Zhou Ye... No, that's not right, now there are two Zhou Yes. One looks like a puppet, motionless, and the other is standing beside her.

"It's nothing, I just helped your soul temporarily leave your body..." Zhou Ye said, gently patting Nina on the shoulder, and pointed behind her, saying, "Look, who is that?"

Although Nina was still digesting the meaning of Zhou Ye's words, she couldn't help but look in the direction Zhou Ye was pointing, "Daddy--Mommy--"

"Nina, baby..."

"My little darling..."

The family of three immediately hugged each other...

"Don't chat for too long... Nina is still a living person after all, it's not good for her soul to leave her body for too long... After you finish talking, go to the rooftop and find me..." Zhou Ye finished explaining all this, and without waiting for the family to reply, he directly passed through the ceiling and came to the rooftop.

Zhou Ye gave the time to this family, he didn't like to see things that separated and reunited...

Chapter 428

I don't know how long it has been--maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, or maybe two hours--there is no concept of time in the soul space... At this moment, Zhou Ye also forgot the time.

Zhou Ye, who had been sitting on the edge of the roof, felt someone approaching him. He didn't need to look back. Based on the familiar soul fluctuations, he knew who it was...

"Have you finished chatting?" Zhou Ye asked.

"Yeah--!" After saying goodbye to her parents, Nina felt that her sad emotions had improved a lot. Seeing that her parents were so optimistic, she also felt that maybe their choice not to resurrect was right. What they said was right, she should learn to leave her parents and live on her own... This was bound to happen sooner or later.

However, Nina looked at the back of her godfather, who was sitting alone by the building, and suddenly felt that his back looked a little desolate.

"What's wrong? Godfather?" Nina couldn't help but walk behind him, like when she was a child, and hugged Zhou Ye's neck tightly with her arms.

"It's nothing..." Zhou Ye said, looking at the clouds in the sky.

"No... Tell me, Godfather--" Today's Nina seemed particularly stubborn. She hugged Zhou Ye's neck tightly and insisted, "I only have you as a relative now... I want to know... Godfather, please tell me?"

"...Okay." Zhou Ye sighed and said, "Do you know? Nina, baby, I'm very jealous of you..."

"Jealous of me?"

"That's right, I'm jealous of you..." Zhou Ye said quietly, "Do you know? My parents also left this world because of a car accident, but at that time, no one could help me see them one more time, say one more word to them, or even, the day before they passed away, I was still arguing with them over some trivial matters... I couldn't even tell them the last 'I love you'..."

"...Godfather." At this moment, Nina suddenly felt that the godfather in her arms was so lonely... She remembered a Chinese sentence that Zhou Ye had taught her, and at that time, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but at this moment, she finally understood, 'The tree desires to be still, but the wind does not stop. The son desires to nurture, but the parents do not wait.'

"Alright... Why would I suddenly say these things to you?" Zhou Ye shook his head, stood up, and asked, "Is Old Howard still unwilling to resurrect?"

"Yeah." Nina nodded and said, "Daddy thinks this is the cycle of life, and we should respect the cycle... Mommy wants to be with him..."

"This old guy, he used to be so afraid of death, but now he actually regards death as home?" Zhou Ye joked, "Then what is your wish, baby? Do you want them to come back to life?"

"I respect their choice..." Nina bit her lower lip and said, "And, I think they are very happy, because they can be together with the ones they love until death."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Ye sighed and said, "...Alright, let's go back."

"Yeah." Nina obediently put her hand into Zhou Ye's palm. Only after losing something did she understand how to cherish everything. She was now extremely attached to Zhou Ye.

When Zhou Ye returned to the operating room again, he couldn't see the souls of Howard and his wife anymore. Obviously, they chose to avoid Zhou Ye...

"...Really, why bother? I wouldn't force you to resurrect anyway..." Zhou Ye shook his head and sighed.

Nina was almost laughed out loud by her godfather's words. To be honest, after chatting with her parents for a while, her sadness had gradually disappeared... Now, her feeling about her parents' passing was like her parents taking a long vacation, wanting to rest well...

Zhou Ye gently tapped Nina's spiritual body, and she returned to her body. Nina, who opened her eyes again, looked at the remains of her parents still lying on the operating table, and said softly, "Goodbye--Daddy, Goodbye--Mommy."

"Let's go back..." Zhou Ye looked at Nina, who was reluctant to leave, and comforted her in a low voice, "They just experienced something that everyone must experience..."

"Yeah--" Nina finally gritted her teeth, left the operating table, and followed Zhou Ye out of the operating room.

"Miss Natasha, are you alright..." Jarvis, who was standing guard outside, hurriedly asked when he saw his young lady walking out.

"I'm fine, Jarvis, thank you..." Nina said, "I'm a little tired, I want to go home... I'll leave it to you here."

"Okay, Miss, I will take care of the aftermath of the Master and Madam." Jarvis said, looking at Zhou Ye, and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhou..."

"It's nothing..." Just as Zhou Ye was speaking, a large group of guys in black suits rushed over from outside, led by an old lady who looked very energetic... "Ye, why are you here? How is Howard..."

"Peggy..." Zhou Ye was speechless when he saw Peggy with her old-age makeup on. To be honest, Zhou Ye was really a little unaccustomed to seeing Peggy with such makeup. "Howard and his wife are gone..."

"...This is really unfortunate news." Peggy was also a little depressed, after all, Howard was also her old friend...

"Alright, give me your car keys, I want to send Nina back first..." Zhou Ye said.

"Here..." Peggy directly handed over her car keys. She didn't know why her man didn't save Howard, but she knew that there must be a reason for it. This was not the place to ask, so she didn't ask Zhou Ye any further questions.

Zhou Ye directly drove Peggy's car and sent Nina back to his manor in Washington. He didn't send Nina home directly because Zhou Ye was worried that she would be reminded of her sadness, so he temporarily settled her in his home.

Night--

Peggy, who returned home, said with some emotion after listening to Zhou Ye's explanation of Howard's choice: "I didn't expect this playboy to actually become a philosopher on his deathbed..."

"...Who knows." Zhou Ye hugged Peggy, who had removed her old-age makeup, and said in a low voice, "Maybe he was really tired of living..."

That night, the two of them didn't do what they loved to do because they were in a bad mood...

Half asleep and half awake, Zhou Ye felt like there was another body in his arms. He barely opened his eyes and saw his goddaughter Nina. "Nina, baby, why are you here?"

"Godfather... I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I seem to see Daddy and Mommy lying on the operating table..." Nina said here, begging, "Godfather... Help me... Help me forget those things, okay?"

Zhou Ye was a little speechless. "Baby, the only thing I can help you with is washing away those memories… But, everyone's memories are the most precious thing to them. Are you really willing to wash away those memories?"

"… … No, I don't want to…" Nina shook her head firmly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Godfather… there is another way to temporarily help me forget those things…"

"What…" Before Zhou Ye could finish speaking, his lips were blocked by his goddaughter.

Some people like to escape when they encounter major changes in their lives, while others use other methods to vent their negative emotions. Obviously, Nina chose the latter… and the object she chose was her godfather, for whom she had long harbored affection.

If Nina had encountered a paragon of morality, he would probably have earnestly tried to dissuade her at this moment. However, it is clear that Zhou Ye is completely unrelated to moral paragons. Although, it is a bit unethical to sleep with Howard's daughter right after he passed away… But it's better to benefit oneself than to benefit others, right? At least Zhou Ye is somewhat of a responsible man…

That night, Nina really temporarily forgot the grief of her parents' departure, because Zhou Ye simply didn't give her time to think about other things…

Five days later — — — —

At Howard's funeral, Nina was already able to face the death of her parents calmly. For her, at least she saw her parents for the last time and told them that she loved them… She had no regrets, and besides, Zhou Ye would always be by her side… She was not alone in this world.

Chapter 429

Two years later — — — —

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in a detached villa in the advanced dormitory area — —

In the super-large bedroom on the second floor — —

A man and two women were snuggling together, sleeping with their necks intertwined — —

At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded in the bedroom: "Miss Natasha, you are about to miss your graduation ceremony… If you don't get up soon."

"Holy crap — — — —!"

The first to react was not Nina, but Zhou Ye. After all, anyone who suddenly hears a man's voice that shouldn't be there in their home would probably react the same way. "Jarvis? Where are you?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou… I am Jarvis and not Jarvis…" the male voice replied.

"Hahahaha…" Nina, who was next to Zhou Ye, saw the ghostly look on her man's face as soon as she opened her eyes, and suddenly laughed, her delicate body trembling… "Honey, that's my newly developed electronic butler, Jarvis. What do you think? How does it compare to your Red Queen…"

"Not good…" Zhou Ye sighed helplessly and said: "Nina, baby, can't you use a female voice? Listening to Jarvis's voice lingering in my ears, I'm really not used to it…"

"Then you have to be responsible for finding me a female voice sample… Nina didn't care at all that the beauty in front of her chest was exposed to this man. This man had played with this body countless times, and the degree of familiarity probably far exceeded her own…

"No problem, you can have the voice of any singer you want, even the voice of a Japanese AV actress is fine, but don't use Jarvis's voice… Zhou Ye was really scared.

At this time, Susan, who was sleeping on the other side of Zhou Ye, opened her sleepy eyes and muttered: "Nina, do you want to kill me? Last night you started the fire but didn't put it out… and used the despicable excuse of having relatives at home… causing me to be tormented by my dear for half the night… and now you won't let me rest…"

"Sorry… Susan." Nina stuck out her little tongue, looking embarrassed.

In fact, Nina could have graduated from MIT two years ago, but she was unwilling to return to her home full of memories, so she simply continued her studies at MIT. In fact, no one cared about her, she was just doing some small research…

Now, she has emerged from the shadow of her parents' departure, so she simply applied for graduation, and today happens to be her graduation ceremony — —

Zhou Ye picked up Nina and tiptoed to wash up… After all, Susan had already expressed her dissatisfaction, and besides, she was indeed very tired. Last night, in order to cope with Zhou Ye's demands, she had to contribute her… um, you know.

"Honey, you said you were going to leave for a while… where are you going?" Nina asked curiously while helping Zhou Ye squeeze toothpaste.

"I plan to take a trip to the universe…" Zhou Ye hugged Nina's slender waist from behind, watching Nina's movements and smiling: "The Umbrella space station has discovered some very interesting visitors, so I plan to go see them and take a short trip."

"Aliens? That's so cool, can you take me with you? Honey…" Nina is very interested in everything related to technology… Hearing Zhou Ye's words, she couldn't help but turn around and started acting coquettishly towards Zhou Ye. "Godfather… please take me with you."

"… … I'm afraid not, baby." Zhou Ye said apologetically: "There may be battles this time, and you…"

Although Zhou Ye didn't say the following words, Nina knew what he meant. She knew that she was at most a scientific researcher, far from being a combatant… But this was not a reason for her to give up.

"You will protect me… right?" In order to take a trip to the universe with Zhou Ye, Nina was also going all out, regardless of the fact that her period hadn't ended, she kept rubbing her smooth thighs against Zhou Ye's legs.

"Although I really want to say to you… yes."

Zhou Ye resisted the urge and explained: "But, baby, I will never let you get involved in battles… Because, I don't want to lose you, you know."

"… … Okay…" Facing Zhou Ye, who could resist such temptation, Nina had no choice, or rather, she knew that what Zhou Ye said was true, so she temporarily gave up this plan.

"I promise, after I've explored there, how about I take you all on a trip to the universe? Baby…" Zhou Ye said, looking at the somewhat disappointed Nina, with a comforting tone.

"Okay, you promise to keep your word…"

"I promise."

The two returned to their usual daily routine of chatting and laughing… It seemed like that was right, but in fact, Nina was already secretly making other plans. [Who says that scientific researchers can't have combat power? When you come back, I will let you know what it means that science is the most powerful combat power.]

But obviously, Zhou Ye didn't know what his goddaughter was planning…

After the two finished washing up, Susan reluctantly left her warm bed. In fact, she also wanted to continue sleeping, but there was no way, she didn't want to miss her friend's graduation ceremony. After all, the two had been living together for two years, and… they had also developed a pure and chaste fighting friendship on the bed.

In the Kresge Auditorium of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the hall was filled with voices… Today is graduation season, and many students' parents have come to watch the ceremony…

"I announce that Miss Natasha Stark has honorably graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Robin Pritzer, the vice president on the podium, said loudly.

Warm applause rang out from the student crowd below. After all, Nina can be said to be a well-known genius here, and she is also the legal heir of Stark Industries, a standard highly educated rich and beautiful woman.

"Thank you…" Nina walked onto the podium, took the graduation certificate from Robin Pritzer's hand, and then stood in front of the microphone. "Actually, I don't have much to say. Everyone knows that during my years studying at MIT, many, many things happened… including the accidental death of my parents."

Hearing this, there was a sigh from the audience. They all knew about Howard's matter. After all, Howard was also a scientific pioneer who led a generation of trends. The news of his death was reported continuously for a week, and even the president attended his funeral.

"Here — I want to especially thank one person." Nina said, pointing in the direction where Zhou Ye was standing: "Honey, please come up for a moment, okay?"

"… …" Zhou Ye was speechless. This was different from what was agreed upon. But since Nina said so, if he didn't go up, he would be embarrassing his woman, so he could only go up.

When Nina waited for Zhou Ye to walk to her side, she hugged Zhou Ye tightly and said loudly: "When I was at my saddest, he accompanied me to face it. When I needed comfort the most, he was by my side. I want to say to him… Zhou Ye, I love you, I will always love you."

"Wow — — — — ! ! !"

"Go — — — — Nina, we support you!"

A burst of noise suddenly rang out from the audience. Of course, those who chose to support Nina were all girls, while those boys were regretting why they missed such a good opportunity?

With Zhou Ye's hearing, how could he not hear the words of the boys in the audience, and couldn't help but whisper in Nina's ear: "Baby, do you know what the boys below are saying about me?"

"What?" Nina asked with a smile.

"They said… if they had known the news at the time, the person standing here would definitely not be me…" Zhou Ye said.

"Those self-righteous guys…" Nina said disdainfully: "If they want to defeat you… then they first need to take me away from my parents' side when I was still young… After all, you are the godfather who raised me since I was a child…"

"So… I like raising-type games the most." Zhou Ye smiled happily.

Chapter 430

USA — Missouri — A hospital in Kansas City.

A young boy with headphones on sat blankly outside a hospital room. The music seemed to isolate him from the real world, shielding him from the crushing news that his ailing mother was on the verge of passing away.

"Hi there," a blond-haired teenager said, walking over from the other end of the corridor. He greeted the boy with a smile and asked, "Little guy, are you all alone?

The boy glanced at him. Although he didn't know why he could hear this man's voice even with his headphones on, he didn't want to talk to him at all right now. His eyelids drooped, as if he hadn't heard the boy speak.

"You're really not cute at all." The blond boy was Zhou Ye. He wouldn't indulge this brat's bad habits and gently took off his headphones.

"Give it back to me… That's mine." The little boy finally spoke.

"Of course, I know it's yours." Zhou Ye said with a smile, "How about we play a game? You tell me your name, and I'll help you fulfill a wish, how about that?"

"…Can you cure my mother's illness?" The boy blurted out this sentence, revealing that he actually knew everything. He knew that his mother had a terminal illness, and he even knew that his mother would probably leave him forever soon…

"How would we know if we don't try?" Zhou Ye said with a smile, "Maybe I really can cure your mother's illness, who knows?"

"My name is Peter Quill…" The boy said his name without hesitation, then looked at Zhou Ye with burning eyes, "Sir, you should fulfill your promise…"

"No problem. Quill." Zhou Ye smiled and took out a small pill, placing it in Peter Quill's hand. "This pill might be able to cure your mother's cancer. Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you."

"… …" Peter looked at the green pill in his hand, about the size of an aspirin, and looked at Zhou Ye with suspicion. "Can this really cure my mom's illness?"

"Belief is up to you, Quill." Zhou Ye said, turning around and walking out of the hospital. "Alright, I'm leaving, Quill. It was really nice meeting you… Goodbye."

"…Goodbye." Peter stared blankly at Zhou Ye's departing back. Was he being deceived?

"Peter? Your mother wants to talk to you." Peter's grandfather came out of the ward, only to see his grandson staring blankly at the other end of the corridor. "What are you looking at, Peter?"

"Ah? It's nothing…" Hearing his grandfather's words, Peter finally woke up.

"Okay, Peter, come in, your mother wants to talk to you." He said, taking Peter's hand and walking into the ward.

In fact, Peter hated going into the ward because he was afraid of seeing his mother, who had been tortured by the disease… His mother's beautiful hair had already fallen out due to chemotherapy, and she had even lost so much weight that she was out of shape, like a mummy. Peter's young heart was afraid of seeing such a mother, because it meant that his mother might leave him at any time.

"Peter—" His mother lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by relatives and friends… Peter suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Why are you fighting with others again? Honey." Although Peter's mother was having difficulty speaking at this time, she still saw the wound on her son's face at a glance.

"They killed an innocent frog…" Peter defended in a low voice.

"Your personality is just like your dad… Even your appearance is the same. He is like an angel, radiating a pure light…"

"May, don't you have a gift for Peter?" Peter's grandfather couldn't bear to watch any longer. He hated the bastard who abandoned his daughter. In his opinion, that guy was at least half responsible for his daughter getting cancer.

"That's right…" May moved her fingers with difficulty. She wanted to give the packaged gift box to her son. Perhaps this was the last gift she would give to her son… She wanted to give it to him personally.

"… …" Peter Quill looked at his mother's movements… His heart was twisted like a knife. At this time, he clenched his fist again. In his hand was the pill that Zhou Ye had given him. At this moment, his mind went blank… There was only one thought in his mind, and that was not to let his mother leave him…

Peter Quill suddenly pounced on his mother and, with a wave of his hand, fed the pill in his hand into his mother's mouth.

"Peter—what are you doing…" His grandfather saw that his grandson seemed to have fed something into his daughter's mouth, but he didn't know what it was…

"That was the medicine that person just gave me. He said it could cure my mother's illness…" Peter defended.

"Damn—who is playing a prank…" When his grandfather heard his grandson's words, his first thought was that someone was playing a prank on his grandson… This was cancer. With the current level of medical technology, this was a terminal illness. How could there be a drug that could cure cancer? If there was such a drug, wouldn't he have made a fortune long ago? "Quick, call a doctor over…"

"Doctor… Doctor…" Peter's grandmother had already run out of the ward while calling for a doctor.

"Peter, how can you randomly feed your mother things of unknown origin…" Peter's grandfather reprimanded his grandson.

"Dad… don't blame Peter, he loves me, I know, he is worried about my illness." May, who was lying on the hospital bed, tried hard to defend her son.

"How are you, May? Can you spit out that pill?" Peter's grandfather looked at his daughter worriedly.

"That pill is very strange…" May felt as if her body was warm, "It was slippery and melted as soon as it entered my mouth…"

"Then do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"

"No…" May seemed to have a bit of blush on her face, which was much better than her pale face just now. "That pill seems to be really working… Honey, thank you, I feel much better now."

"… … I knew it, I knew Mom would be fine." Peter finally hugged his mother and cried at this time. He had suppressed it for as long as his mother had been ill… Children are very sensitive, and they can sense all the thoughts of adults…

At this moment, May's mother also called the doctor over… After he examined May, he found that May did not have any adverse reactions, or rather, the current May was starting to show signs of improvement… This simply subverted the doctor's understanding. In the doctor's opinion, cancer was already an incurable disease… There was no possibility of curing it at all.

But now, in front of him, a cancer patient who had been sentenced to death by the hospital was actually showing signs of improvement… He had to urgently contact the hospital's senior management. They gave May another comprehensive examination and found that the spread of cancer cells had stopped, and even cancer cells were slowly being eliminated by an unknown substance in May's body…

When they learned that Quill's pill was given to him by a young man, they wanted to know what the young man looked like. This was a major breakthrough in medical history…

However, Peter Quill couldn't remember what the young man who gave him the pill looked like. The only thing he remembered was that the young man had blond hair…

However, after the people in the hospital questioned the security guard on duty that night, they learned that no young man with blond hair had entered the hospital that night… So, this became an unsolved mystery.

And where did Zhou Ye go at this time?

Chapter 431

Let's rewind time to after Zhou Ye did a good deed—

"Honey, it's rare for you to be so kind."

As soon as Zhou Ye walked out of the hospital, a voice rang out. It was Pandora.

"I have a soft heart and can't bear to see the separation of loved ones…" Zhou Ye said, putting his arm around Pandora's slender waist and flying into the sky. "Now we should pay a visit to our guests and let them know that although Earth doesn't have a planet leader, it's not a place where anyone can come and go as they please."

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, honey…" Pandora said with a murderous smile, "A bunch of space pirates, pointing fingers at me in the air with optical stealth on… Do they really think they are God?"

"Then how about we give them a little surprise?" Zhou Ye smiled and stood on the flying saucer in mid-air. This spaceship was not very big, about ten meters in diameter…

At this time, the two space pirates in the spaceship also saw this strange scene.

"Damn it, where is this…" A blue-skinned pirate exclaimed. "How can these guys fly… Damn it, damn it, damn it… They don't have any mechanical devices on them, how is it possible to fly?"

"Ignore them, let's complete the mission first, otherwise the boss will make us suffer." A pirate next to him who looked no different from ordinary humans, just a little dirty, said.

"No… I want them to die…" The blue-skinned pirate was obviously not satisfied with someone standing on his head. "Let me take them back to the mothership… Once we get to outer space, they will die quickly without equipment. When the time comes, we will sell their bodies to the Collector, and maybe we can make some extra money."

"Okay, I hope you are right."

The blue-skinned pirate pulled the control stick of the spaceship, and the flying saucer flew towards outer space…

"… …" Zhou Ye heard everything these two people said from the outside… This is really funny. However, this spaceship is obviously not their mothership. Their mothership should still be in outer space. Why not just hitch a ride…

Thinking of this, Zhou Ye stopped Pandora from destroying the spaceship. What a joke, this thing is about to become his own, why destroy his own spaceship?

Outer space—

The blue-skinned pirate looked at Zhou Ye, still standing on his spaceship and waving hello with a friendly smile, and was almost scared witless... There was a consensus in the universe that anyone who could survive in outer space without any equipment was definitely an ultimate powerhouse.

Ultimate powerhouse? What is an ultimate powerhouse... Well, Thanos barely qualifies as one...

"Oh my god... What have we run into...?" The blue-skin's companion obviously didn't know the legends of the ultimate powerhouse, so although he felt surprised, he didn't feel fear to the extreme like the blue-skinned pirate.

What are you doing??" The blue-skinned pirate watched his companion's actions and hysterically asked, "Why are you opening the emergency hatch?"

"To welcome the supreme powerhouse—" the blue-skinned pirate said, ignoring his companion, walking directly to the hatch, and offering the highest courtesy to Zhou Ye and Pandora as they walked in.

That's right, pirates are unscrupulous, pirates are unruly... but in fact, to put it bluntly, it also depends on who they're facing...

Facing those Imperial armies, they can escape if they can't win. The universe is vast, they can hide anywhere, and they can live happily anywhere...

But if they offend the strong in the universe, hehe, they should quickly find a place to commit suicide. That's the wisest choice...

"You have good eyes, I like you like this..." Zhou Ye's voice directly rang in the blue-skinned pirate's mind.

The blue-skinned pirate's pupils shrank, and then, he became even more respectful... "Welcome... powerhouse, may I ask what you need?"

"It's nothing... my dear wants to take a stroll on your mothership." This time, Pandora directly used the interstellar common language. She had already scanned the language area in the blue-skinned pirate's mind... Speaking the common language is as smooth as speaking English.

"Your will shall be carried out." The blue-skinned pirate said, without hesitation walking back to the driver's seat, and starting to fly towards his own mothership... His companion beside him loudly tried to stop him, saying, "Are you crazy? Yondu will use his whistle arrow to kill you... Our mission is to pick up a little boy on Earth, not to send these two people with unknown identities to the mothership..."

"Oh—I remember you." As soon as he spoke, Pandora laughed. "You were just above my head, discussing with your companion how eating me would be the most delicious? Right?"

"..." That person was stunned. He was sure that when he said this, there were only him and the blue-skinned pirate in the spaceship... "...You...you...how did you know...?"

The unknown fear made him quickly press the communication button on the spaceship, and loudly shout, "Yondu, we need support... We have two guys with unknown identities here..."

The static coming from the communicator made him stop shouting. He turned his head to look, and it was his blue-skinned companion who had cut off communication with the mothership...

"What boring guys..." Pandora sighed softly, raised her hand and waved it. Immediately, that person was as if he was in seawater, covering his mouth and nose with both hands, desperately struggling. Before long... there was no more movement.

The blue-skinned pirate looked at his companion's tragic state. To be honest, he was now very glad that he had made the right choice. Obviously, he had chosen the right side... This kind of strange ability was much more terrifying than Yondu's whistle arrow...

"Don't let the corpse pollute this place..." Zhou Ye looked around the spaceship cabin. As expected of pirates, the cabin had everything... It was truly like a garbage dump. "Well, if there's any environment to speak of here..."

"Your will shall be thoroughly carried out—" The blue-skinned pirate heard Zhou Ye's words and hurriedly replied with the royal etiquette he usually heard his companions bragging about.

His words made Zhou Ye want to roll his eyes. He was just asking you to clean up, no need to be so formal...

The blue-skinned pirate didn't know Zhou Ye's inner thoughts. He was busy setting the spaceship to automatically return, and then picked up tools to start cleaning his spaceship... As for his companion's corpse? Naturally, it was the first piece of garbage to be thrown out...

To be honest, the blue-skinned pirate felt that this might be the most diligent he had ever been in his life, but seeing the garbage he cleaned out, he couldn't help but blush a little... This was really dirty.

Before he finished cleaning his spaceship, Yondu's mothership had already arrived... The automatic return program brought them into the mothership's hangar. Zhou Ye opened the hatch and walked out of the spaceship...

"This place needs to be redecorated in the future, it looks dirty..." Looking at the cabin walls, Zhou Ye complained.

"...That...we don't have money..." The blue-skinned pirate said with an embarrassed expression.

"..." Zhou Ye was speechless. Pirates actually complaining about being poor... Okay, maybe their money was all spent on eating, drinking, and having fun. He gave up the idea of talking to this guy. "Take me to see Yondu."

"Yes!" The blue-skinned pirate nodded respectfully, leading the way. "Please follow me..."

Chapter 432

Yondu looked at the man and woman brought before him by his subordinates, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

As a pirate who has roamed the galaxy for so many years, Yondu was clearly not a brainless waste. Although he didn't know Zhou Ye and Pandora's abilities, he saw the respectful attitude of the subordinate who brought them here, which made him a little cautious.

"Who I am is not important..." Zhou Ye said, casually walking to Yondu's seat and sitting down. "You just need to know that in the future, I will be your master..."

"...Looks like I need to teach you some manners as a guest." Even Yondu with a good temper couldn't stand this. Coming before him and saying he would be his master in the future? Who do you think you are?

Saying that, Yondu raised his hand, pulled open his leather coat, revealing the quiver inserted in his waist. A small arrow was clearly placed in the quiver. He whistled—

Seeing this, Pandora was about to step forward to subdue Yondu, but was stopped by her man.

Pandora looked at Zhou Ye in confusion, and asked in his mind: "Why not let me subdue him, dear?"

"Being unharmed in front of the enemy's strongest skill, don't you think it's better that way?" Zhou Ye's answer left Pandora speechless. She knew her man was planning a big show.

But thinking about it, whatever, Yondu's whistle arrow was ineffective against her, and couldn't even scratch her man's skin, so let him put on a show... Thinking of this, Pandora smiled and retreated behind Zhou Ye.

Yondu had been staring at the two's movements. When Pandora stepped forward, his heart jumped, and he was planning to have his subordinates with guns fire, but he saw the woman take a step back and stand behind the man who spoke wildly.

Although he didn't know why, he had some hesitation in his heart...

"Please begin your performance, I can't wait." Zhou Ye urged Yondu with an interested look.

This was truly unbearable. Yondu couldn't bear it anymore, he had never seen someone look down on people so much... His whistle became rapid, and then a flash of light flew out from his waist, shooting towards Zhou Ye...

"It's done—" Yondu watched the man actually face his whistle arrow head-on without dodging, and couldn't help cheering in his heart. How many big shots in the galaxy had died because of their arrogance... Yondu's heart was extremely excited at this moment.

However, the scene before him made his jaw drop.

He saw his whistle arrow stuck on Zhou Ye's forehead, but could no longer move forward. No matter how rapid his whistle was, he couldn't pierce it... Yondu's whistle changed, the whistle arrow looped around, and then stabbed directly at Zhou Ye's throat... But, it was useless, the result was still the same, it still couldn't pierce Zhou Ye's skin...

Unwilling to fail, Yondu quickly urged his whistle arrow, stabbing Zhou Ye all over his body—

Until—the whistle arrow was grabbed by Zhou Ye.

"...Although I let you start your performance, I don't like being penetrated by a man, no, to be precise, neither men nor women are allowed..." Zhou Ye said, tightening his fingers, and Yondu's whistle arrow was crushed by him.

...This...is impossible..." Yondu looked at the wreckage of the whistle arrow at Zhou Ye's feet...and shouted in a loss of voice. His whistle arrow could penetrate spaceship armor, how could it be crushed by someone's hand?

And the subordinates behind him were also stunned. They followed Yondu's orders, not without fear of Yondu's whistle arrow, but now...their boss's biggest weapon was crushed like a toy.

"..." Zhou Ye looked at the stunned space pirates and smiled: "Now—I'll give you one last chance, those who are willing to be loyal to me, stand on my right hand side, those who are unwilling to join me, stand on my left hand side... Now, gentlemen, you can start choosing."

Following Zhou Ye's words, the little blue-skinned pirate who brought Zhou Ye to Yondu made the first choice. He stood on Zhou Ye's right hand side without hesitation... Just kidding, stand on the left? You will die miserably.

After someone made the first choice, the pirates behind seemed to have made their own choices... They stood in twos and threes on Zhou Ye's right hand side... After all, they were just small soldiers no matter which side they were on, wouldn't it be better to choose a stronger boss?

In the end, only Yondu stood on Zhou Ye's left hand side.

"You're really making it difficult for me, Yondu—" Zhou Ye looked at Yondu—and said helplessly. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Yondu. To describe Yondu in one sentence, the most appropriate is: a kind bastard.

Although he had done a lot of bastard things, his heart was still very kind, otherwise he wouldn't have violated the Ravagers' iron law, and been despised by all space pirates, and wouldn't explain that he didn't send Star-Lord back to his father who wanted to kill him for Star-Lord's sake.

Such a person... kill? Not worth it...

"Give him a ship and let him go..." Zhou Ye ordered, and immediately a space pirate who had just surrendered to him nodded and bowed and said: "Boss, if you just let Yondu go like this..."

"...Are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Zhou Ye glanced at him, and instantly this space pirate suffered a heavy blow. He was sent flying, crashing into the ship's hull, coughing up blood, and it looked like he wouldn't survive. 

The remaining space pirates, seeing this guy's fate, were all so frightened that they kept silent... not daring to even lift their heads.

"...Hahaha..." Yondu looked at the subordinate who had been killed by Zhou Ye and laughed loudly. He hadn't expected that after being a space pirate for half his life, he hadn't realized that his subordinates were all traitors... and even wanted to take his life to curry favor with the new boss. "Looks like I really was an idiot before."

"...Good that you know. Being a space pirate doesn't suit you. You should find a place to retire..." Zhou Ye said with a smile.

"Yes... I should really take a good rest." Yondu seemed to have aged decades, "Thank you for your mercy... Also, let me remind you... those guys can betray me, they can betray you... be careful."

Rest assured, they won't have a chance to betray us." Zhou Ye laughed, he didn't even think highly of these guys. He was only coveting the technological data on Yondu's ship… These guys, he would replace them all later… Of course, after squeezing out everything in their minds.

"Well then, I'm leaving… I should also go back to my hometown to take a look…" Yondu actually didn't hate Zhou Ye at all. From the first day he became a space pirate, he had defaulted to obeying a law of the jungle, the strong eat the weak—losing to Zhou Ye, he didn't feel ashamed. He knew that Zhou Ye's strength was something he had never heard of. He was very relieved to hand over his life's work to such a strong person. "Don't lose the face of us Ravagers."

Yondu said, tearing off the Ravagers' emblem from his chest, walking up to Zhou Ye, pinning it on Zhou Ye's clothes, and finally nostalgically patted his command chair. "The fleet is handed over to you… I'm leaving."

Zhou Ye watched Yondu leave the bridge—before long, a spaceship flew away from the mothership, flying towards the direction of Centaurus…

"Old guy, don't worry, I will make the entire galaxy feel deep fear when they mention the Ravagers." Zhou Ye watched Yondu's departing spaceship's tail flames fly farther and farther away, and said to himself.

"Boss, where are we going now?" Little Bluey asked cautiously.

"We… are going to Mars now—" Zhou Ye laughed. Umbrella's Mars base had already been built, and many studies that were not suitable to be placed on Earth were completed there.

The entire Ravager fleet turned their bows together and flew towards Mars…

Chapter 433

In the outer space of Mars, a formation composed of a mothership and more than thirty medium-sized spaceships was slowly entering here, it was precisely the Ravager fleet that Zhou Ye had taken over—

On the mothership, Zhou Ye was sitting in Yondu's former position, holding Pandora, quietly looking at the dark red planet in front of him.

Just as the space pirates were planning to land according to Zhou Ye's orders, suddenly an unfamiliar communication signal came in.

[Unknown fleet, please state your identity and intentions, please reply within five seconds, otherwise you will be shot down by our side.]

Along with this communication, the space pirates discovered that the seemingly empty and desolate surface of Mars flickered like ripples, and then the scene in front of them changed drastically.

Countless towering turrets stood there, among them, three giant gun barrels, estimated to be three kilometers long, were flashing dazzling electric light, obviously, these turrets had completed charging and were ready to fire at any time.

"Boss… what do we do?" Little Bluey, who had been promoted to Zhou Ye's adjutant, looked nervously at his new boss.

"Don't panic, they are all our own people." Zhou Ye said, picking up the communicator at hand, and said directly: "It's me, connect me to the highest person in charge of the Mars base."

As Zhou Ye's voice fell, there seemed to be a burst of panic on the other side, and then, an excited voice said: "Welcome Overlord to visit, please land at the First Airport, we will send a pilot ship to guide you."

"Don't be excited, this time I have brought you a lot of gifts." Zhou Ye said with a smile.

"Thank you… Thank you Overlord…" The other side was so excited that he couldn't speak, his tone was choked with sobs, to be honest, the person in charge of the base was really too excited… He originally thought that being assigned to the Mars base was a disguised form of exile. As a result, he didn't expect that today, the Overlord would personally visit this base… The Overlord didn't forget them, they were not being exiled.

The space pirates in the command room looked at each other, and they were also filled with emotion at this time… They originally thought that the new boss was just one person, but now it seems that their new boss seems to have unimaginable power.

Among the space pirates, being able to have a fixed base is simply a legendary figure. What does a fixed base represent? It represents complete logistical support, sufficient logistical support… It means that after they plunder good things, they no longer have to be exploited by those black market merchants, and they can at least get a small half of the money…

Perhaps this group of space pirates, under the leadership of the new boss, can really become famous throughout the galaxy and become an existence that all empires in the galaxy pay attention to. At this moment, the space pirates cheered loudly in unison.

"Long live the boss… We are home!"

"…Hehe!" Zhou Ye looked at this group of cheering space pirates, and sneered in his heart. These guys probably don't know that after the fleet lands, their doomsday will come.

Zhou Ye didn't trust these space pirates at all. Yondu was right, they could betray Yondu, and they could betray themselves. Don't look at them acting loyal now, but if they encounter a little setback, they might turn their guns on themselves… Zhou Ye didn't want to keep any of these subordinates.

Zhou Ye didn't lack loyal subordinates to use, so why use this group of unruly guys? Keeping them is only for the knowledge in their heads.

After all, those who can be space pirates have two unique skills, maybe it's repairing spaceships, maybe it's an extremely secret stargate in the star sea, Zhou Ye doesn't want to miss these things…

And those guys who don't know that their death is imminent are still excitedly greeting the pilots on the pilot ship, looking like everyone is their own people…

The fleet quickly landed in a T-shaped airport. The hatch of the mothership opened, and Zhou Ye took the lead and walked down the mothership with Pandora.

"Hello Overlord—!" The person in charge of the Mars base, who had been waiting for a long time at the airport, stood respectfully at the door with the high-level members of the base. The moment they saw Zhou Ye,

they couldn't help but salute Zhou Ye with Umbrella's military salute.

"Hello everyone…" Zhou Ye smiled and nodded in return.

Just as the person in charge of the base was about to step forward, Pandora's voice sounded in his mind, [These guys behind us are all space pirates, although they have been subdued by Darling, Darling doesn't trust them, there are many treasures in their heads, this is a gift from Darling to you, it's time for our Umbrella battleships to appear in the galaxy.]

The person in charge of the base nodded knowingly, and then saluted Zhou Ye, walked behind Zhou Ye, and greeted the space pirates. "Hi, brothers, hello, welcome home."

"…Hi, brother, do you have any chicks here? I want blue-skinned ones…" Little Bluey asked with a smile, using the interstellar translator.

"Of course, come with me, I'll take you to have fun…" The person in charge looked like brothers, and the two hooked their shoulders and led a group of space pirates towards the base.

What awaited them there was naturally not any blue-skinned chicks, but only various experimental equipment and Umbrella battle soldiers.

Three days later—

In the hall of the base, Zhou Ye was sitting there listening to the report from the person in charge of his base.

"Overlord, we have completely analyzed the engines and propulsion devices of these warships, and because our achievements in materials science far exceed theirs, the power of the first Star Speed ​​Type i warship ion engine we copied will exceed theirs by more than 30%." The person in charge of the base, Fan Cotton, said excitedly: "After learning from the weapon devices on their warships, our first-generation Star Destroyer plan will be able to continue, we have crossed three generations and directly entered the mid-to-high-tech generation of the galaxy."

"Oh? Why is the analysis work so fast?" Zhou Ye asked curiously, knowing that reverse deduction would definitely not be so fast, this is a systematic project, if it is calculated in units of ten years, he would not find it strange.

"This is all thanks to your brilliance, Overlord…" Cotton's face was full of wrinkles, "Among the space pirates you brought, one is a senior engineer from the Ada Xim Shipyard of the Nova Empire. This guy embezzled public funds and secretly sold the blueprints of the Nova engine to their arch-enemy, the Kree. He was wanted by the Nova Empire for treason… He originally thought that the Kree would protect him, but after the Kree got the engine blueprints of the Nova Empire, they abandoned him. This unlucky guy could only seek refuge among the space pirates, and didn't even dare to tell his true origin… Because he was afraid that these space pirates would take him to the Nova Empire to receive a reward…"

"What an unlucky guy." Zhou Ye couldn't help but sigh at this guy's bad luck, and also rejoiced that he didn't kill him at the beginning, otherwise Umbrella's warship plan would not have been so close to fruition. "Then tell me, when can I see Umbrella's Star Destroyers rampage throughout the galaxy?"

"…That, Overlord, the fastest experimental model will take six months to build… and, the experimental model is not equipped with weapons…" Cotton's forehead was sweating when he heard Zhou Ye's words. He knew that his Overlord wanted to drive his own warship to tour the galaxy… But obviously, knowledge needs time to be converted into production capacity. Although the engineer has complete industrial chain structure data in his head, new factories need to be built, new engines need to be tested… These all take time.

"..." Zhou Ye was speechless… "Forget it, give me a renovation of these space pirate warships, without affecting the overall structure, especially… give me a renovation of the inside, it looks like a slum, it's too embarrassing… How long will this take?"

"It only takes a month, Overlord." Cotton said confidently.

"Then I'll wait another month… Anyway, the battle soldiers sent from Earth also need some time to familiarize themselves with these warships…" Zhou Ye said helplessly.

"Please rest assured, Overlord, we can use virtual operation devices to help those soldiers adapt to these warships, and we can even add the battle scenes extracted from the minds of those space pirates to allow the soldiers to adapt to flight combat."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news..." Zhou Ye waved his hand. "You may leave."

"Yes, Master." Colton gave a salute and left Zhou Ye's room.

Chapter 434

One Month Later — — — —

Zhou Ye stood in front of his newly renovated mothership, his face beaming with joy...

Although he said he wouldn't alter the main framework, in reality, the guys under him couldn't wait to equip their master with all the latest technology... So, now Zhou Ye's mothership was a whole size bigger.

"Master, your mothership has been equipped with modified X-metal, so even if you land in the center of the sun, there won't be any problems." The chief designer in charge of retrofitting Zhou Ye's starship spoke eloquently beside Zhou Ye, "In addition, we urgently installed six engines for you. Because we used Umbrella's space cargo box technology, the space inside the warship has not shrunk, but has become even more spacious."

"In particular, we have prepared for your flagship the latest achievement of our Umbrella Corporation, the Forerunner Annihilation Cannon. Of course, although it is extremely powerful, capable of destroying a planet the size of the sun with one shot, due to technical limitations, we are temporarily unable to make it have continuous firing capability. Each launch requires a fifteen-second charge time."

"Not bad, not bad, I'm very satisfied..." Zhou Ye certainly knew the power of the Annihilation Cannon, but to be honest, this thing was more of a deterrent than practical, after all, it was too slow... But, this thing is a good tool to use for extorting planets.

"In addition, we have installed six hundred rapid-firing electromagnetic cannons on your flagship and equipped your flagship with a large nuclear fusion reactor, so you don't have to worry about energy problems at all."

"Well, more is beautiful, bigger is better, a million turrets, a million lights, I like the doctrine of the Multi-Turret Religion." Zhou Ye looked at the flagship in front of him. To be honest, if the designer hadn't told him that this was his retrofitted flagship, he wouldn't have recognized it as the mothership he brought. It was simply a complete transformation...

The previous mothership looked like a big whale... Although it was big, it didn't look threatening at all. But now, this mothership looks like a giant whale covered in thorns, beautiful and deadly. The countless turrets protruding from its body make people know at a glance that this thing... is terrifying.

In other empires of the galaxy, it wasn't that no one had considered such a design, but they were limited by energy and space constraints, unable to fill a mothership with weapons. After all, weapon launches require energy, and not just a small amount. However, if they were filled with energy reactors, the entire mothership would have no space to park its most deadly weapon: small carrier-based spacecraft... …

But space was not an issue at all for Umbrella. To be honest, Umbrella's technological development is now extremely distorted. Thanks to the space technology Zhou Ye obtained from other worlds, Umbrella's space technology has steadily improved. Coupled with Umbrella's own outstanding biological modification technology and DNA analysis technology, its biological technology has surpassed its space technology.

Then there's materials science. Since Umbrella plundered various resources and the synthesis technology of Adamantium alloy in the X world, and with the help of the ever-changing abilities of the X gene, Umbrella began to attach importance to materials science. They used various biological abilities and X abilities to successfully synthesize Bio-Metal X Metal. This living metal with super hardness has made their various technologies even more powerful. After all, materials science is the most basic discipline, the cornerstone of various technologies.

Let me give you a simple analogy. In the past, Umbrella's fusion batteries used magnetic confinement to restrain the high temperature of 15 million degrees Celsius generated by nuclear fusion, because no material could withstand such a temperature, not even Adamantium.

However, since the successful development of X Metal, its ability to absorb high temperatures and strengthen itself has made it the best material for manufacturing fusion batteries... … And the service life of Umbrella's fusion batteries has increased from twenty years to five hundred years, which is a qualitative leap. In addition, it is also the best material for manufacturing armor and engines.

"My mothership is now a bit fatter... …" Zhou Ye muttered to himself: "But I think adding six engines should improve the speed, right?"

"Uh — — — —" The designer was a little speechless in the face of Zhou Ye's words… After stammering for a long time, he said: "… … Lord, because X Metal is a bit too heavy, and… … moreover, it can't be placed in the space hold as armor for the battleship, so… … so… …"

"So?" Zhou Ye looked at the designer in confusion and asked, "Don't tell me it's slower than before... …"

"That's not true... …" The designer said: "But… … it's now just about the same speed as before… … no slowing down, no speeding up... …"

The designer would never tell his master that the multi-turret fanatics in the Umbrella Aerospace Design Bureau didn't design six hundred rapid-fire electromagnetic cannons on their master's flagship at the beginning, but a full thousand... …

But when they simulated the test later, they found that the entire battleship had become a tortoise from a rabbit due to the X armor and the additional thousand electromagnetic cannons... … And it was still a lame tortoise... … It was super slow.

Therefore, the designers had to reluctantly cut off a small half of the electromagnetic cannons and replaced them with six super-powerful engines... … This barely brought Zhou Ye's mothership back to its original speed... … This is really a sad story. For those designers, cutting off an electromagnetic cannon is like killing one of his children... …

To be honest, the chief designer really had the urge to cry. In order to reduce those electromagnetic cannons, he fought wits and courage with those designers... … Both civil and military skills were used, and the entire design institute was like fighting a war to destroy the country... … Of course, the final plan was that the chief designer won.

"Um — — — —" Zhou Ye looked at the chief designer's miserable smile and knew what was going on. After all, he was partly responsible for it. Who told him to instill the doctrine of the multi-turret religion into those designers when he had nothing to do... … It made those guys a little lawless and disrespectful, because they believed that this was the will of the Supreme Master and must be implemented.

"Cough cough — —" Zhou Ye looked at the chief designer who was looking at him with a look of grief and resentment, coughed twice awkwardly, and said: "That's good, I'm very satisfied. Let's go inside and take a look… …"

"Okay, Lord… … Please come with me." With that, the chief designer led Zhou Ye onto the mothership.

The inside of the mothership has been greatly changed. Walking inside, you can't see the original mess at all. Now there are bright and clean cabins and various facilities controlled by comfortable and considerate fully intelligent brains.

"According to your preferences, Lord, we have built a residence for you in the center of the battleship. Please come with me... …" The designer said, stepping onto the automatic conveyor belt in the battleship corridor, and gently tapped on the virtual screen. The conveyor belt began to take him and Zhou Ye towards the very center of the mothership.

After about ten minutes, the two arrived at Zhou Ye's residence... …

"Holy crap, did you use holographic technology here?" Zhou Ye was a little sluggish looking at the residence in front of him.

He could no longer see that he was in a battleship, but a picture of a tropical island. In the middle of the blue sea, a small island with coconut trees lined up, a luxurious villa was standing there... …

"No, Lord, this is not a simple holographic projection technology... …" The designer said, bending down gently and scooping up a handful of pool water from the swimming pool in front of the villa... … "This water is real... … This house is also real... … Even this sun is artificially created by our nuclear fusion, and this island is also real... …"

"What about the sea?"

"Uh, that's of course fake... …" The chief designer said here, pausing: "Here, you can command the fleet's battle... …"

With that, the chief designer said. "Banshee — — switch to combat mode."

"Voiceprint confirmed, authority passed, now entering combat mode." With a female voice, the entire scene suddenly changed, the entire sea disappeared, and a monitoring group composed of eight transparent screens rose in front of the chief designer, and the surrounding environment also changed into the scene outside the battleship.

"Lord, these eight auxiliary monitoring systems are for you to prioritize the most threatening targets." The chief designer said, tapping lightly on the screen, and eight different people appeared on the eight screens... … And they are marked with threat levels from red to black.

Zhou Ye took a look... … and was speechless. These eight people were all carefully selected by him as future squadron commanders. In terms of individual martial power... … They are indeed the most threatening... … These eight guys are standing outside his mothership, pointing and pointing, looking like they are ready to come up and show off their skills.

"Okay... …" Zhou Ye looked at the top of his head, under his feet, and behind him again. This holographic system has indeed achieved a zero-dead-angle effect... … The entire mothership is as if it has become transparent, and he can see everything outside... … "I am very satisfied, Chief Designer."

"Making you satisfied is the meaning of my existence." Zhou Ye's words made the chief designer stand at attention excitedly and bowed his head deeply to Zhou Ye. He felt that the sleepless work of the past month was nothing after receiving the affirmation of his master.

"Now, let's prepare to set sail... … Let us plant the battle flag of Umbrella all over the galaxy... …" With Zhou Ye's order, more than a thousand soldiers began to board the ship in an orderly manner. Of course, Umbrella's power is still nothing compared to those old interstellar empires. They are still very weak, but... … Zhou Ye believes that it won't be long before even those old galactic empires will have to lower their noble heads in front of him.

Chapter 435

Nova Empire — — One light-year away from the capital star Xandar, an asteroid meteorite belt... …

"Honey, what are we doing in the Nova Empire?" Pandora sat in Zhou Ye's arms, playing with Zhou Ye's temples, and asked curiously.

"If Umbrella wants to rise in the galaxy, what should we do?" Zhou Ye didn't answer Pandora's words, but asked rhetorically: "Although we have advantages in biological science and materials science, but... … Whether it is the number of battleships or the number of resource stars, we are far from being the opponents of those old empires. Especially their biological technology may not be as good as ours, but their other technologies are much stronger than ours... … So what should we do?"

"We can exchange our biotechnology with them." Pandora said.

"No, baby... … What we get from others through transactions will never be their latest technological achievements. They will only sell us the next generation... … or even the generation before that." Zhou Ye smiled. Don't overestimate the integrity of those old empires. Empires with integrity have long disappeared in the long river of history. The rest... … Hehe.

"Then let's go rob — —" Pandora understood Zhou Ye's meaning, "Let's go rob their latest scientific research results... …"

"Bingo... …" Zhou Ye smiled and kissed Pandora and said: "If they don't give us things, we can just grab them... …"

"But... … What if they retaliate against us... …" Pandora was a little worried about her family's foundation.

"Retaliate against whom? Who knows who we are?" Zhou Ye said, pulling on the Marauder's logo costume on his body, an earth-yellow leather coat, and the flame-shaped Marauder's logo on his chest. "Retaliate against the entire Marauders? No empire in this universe has such ability."

"Are we considered masked robbers?" Pandora smiled and hugged her man's neck tightly and asked: "But why is it Xandar?"

"Because the Nova Empire is at war with the Kree, their large warships are all fighting on the front lines…" Zhou Ye continued, "And they probably didn't expect that we could bypass their defenses through a secret stargate and come directly to their capital star. The most important thing is… Xandar has no air defense, which is why I chose Xandar…"

When watching Guardians of the Galaxy, Zhou Ye kept complaining that as the capital star of the Nova Empire, it didn't have any air defense. It relied entirely on Nova pilots to stop the Dark Aster. This was truly ridiculous. Whether it was the director being foolish or the screenwriter being brain-dead, in short, Xandar had no defense other than those Nova pilots—

"Then what are we waiting for? Darling…" Pandora was also a little impatient. After all, Xandar was also a foreign planet. Robbing the capital of an alien empire was also quite exciting. Although Pandora herself could turn this planet upside down, destruction and robbery are different… Robbery always gives Pandora a sense of secretly doing something bad.

"No… baby, we still have to do one thing." Zhou Ye said, putting Pandora on the ground, and then said, "As a professional robber, we must first figure out the location of the target… After all, a planet is very big. If we get there and find that we can't find the location of what we want to rob, it will be embarrassing. I don't want to be laughed at as an idiot."

"I understand, darling, casing the joint…" Pandora laughed.

"Ahem—don't say it so directly, we call this reconnaissance." Zhou Ye was embarrassed by Pandora's slang… "Okay, baby, are you interested in a week-long round-the-world trip on Xandar?"

"Of course, no problem…" Pandora smiled and hugged Zhou Ye's waist, "Just treat it as making up for our honeymoon…"

"Let's go on our honeymoon." Zhou Ye said, gently tapping in front of him, and a door appeared in front of them. On the other side of the door was the scenery of Xandar.

The two held hands and walked directly through the door, appearing at the top of a building.

"…This looks a lot like Earth." Pandora looked at the scene of Xandar in front of her and exclaimed, "Uh, except for those colored people walking on the street…"

Zhou Ye looked at the street. There were also white people here, but there were no black or yellow people. Instead, there were red-skinned and blue-skinned people, and of course, relatives of the Hulk, green-skinned people… Although some red-skinned girls looked very beautiful, Zhou Ye felt uncomfortable looking at them for some reason.

"Hahahaha…" Pandora couldn't help laughing when she saw her man's disgusted look. "Darling, it seems you won't have any romantic encounters on Xandar this time…"

"How could there be any romantic encounters, baby? I'm here to spend our honeymoon with you…" Zhou Ye said with a smile.

"I almost believed it…" Pandora teased her man, "Actually, I don't mind having another alien sister, darling, are you really unwilling to contribute your strength to the integration of the cosmic race?"

"Let's forget it… I'm nostalgic and don't really like these rainbow girls." Zhou Ye said, putting his arm around Pandora's slender waist and found an exit to go downstairs. "Let's start our trip… baby."

Pandora smiled and stopped teasing her man. To be honest, she couldn't stand these colorful girls either. It's not that they weren't pretty, it's just… she really couldn't appreciate them.

The two walked on the street and immediately attracted the attention of many men and women.

After all, Zhou Ye's handsomeness and Pandora's sweetness were both weapons to attract the attention of the opposite sex, but regardless of men or women, when they saw the outstanding same sex next to their favorite opposite sex, they were too inferior to step forward and talk.
