Chapter 143: Amateur Mage, Gwen

After Seeing Seeing Natasha and the others left.

Stark dialed someone’s number—

[How is your hand doing? Stephen]

Stephen Strange: [...Oh... Tony... You actually have time to call me... My hand? It... it’s doing quite well now... Kamar-Taj... is indeed a magical place... If you’re not busy... come and take a look again...]

Tony Stark: [Why is your voice breaking up?]

Stephen Strange: [Oh... actually... “800”... yours sounds like that too... It might be because... the signal here is bad... Hiss... not only is the signal bad here... it’s also very cold...]

Tony Stark: [Ah... alright... Then can you perform surgery again? I need a top-tier surgeon to remove the shrapnel from my chest.]

Stephen Strange: [You’ve decided? ...You should know that even for me... performing that surgery of yours... carries a certain risk...]

Tony Stark: [What if we add magic to it? And I will invite other top medical doctors to discuss how to proceed with the surgery together.]

Stephen Strange: [That’s a very good idea... Then I will head over as soon as possible... very soon...]

In the Himalayan snow-capped mountains.

Strange shivered from the cold wind and tremblingly tucked his phone back into his cloth robes...

Subsequently.

This mage apprentice swiped his ring-wearing hand—

Sss... sss... sss...!

A perfect circular golden spark ring was half-formed.

This brought a look of joy to his unkempt face.

However.

Bang~~

In the next second, the unformed golden spark ring collapsed again...

“Oh...”

Strange couldn’t help but feel a bit discouraged.

After all, that Miss Maximoff from the same intake could already defeat Master Mordo and trade blows with the Ancient One...

In comparison, he, an apprentice still practicing portals, seemed like a total noob...

But fortunately, there was still that white-haired squash to bring up the rear...

“Looks like Tony will have to wait a while longer...”

England.

Greater London area.

Greenwich district.

Ye Li was standing on the roof of the observatory, habitually letting the wind blow, while the shadow behind him rippled, as if something dangerous was about to crawl out...

Whoosh!

A sound of airflow came by his right ear, and in the next second, it was by his left ear.

He knew it was a certain little spider-girl teasing him, so he didn’t expose her and cooperatively turned his head to the left—

—There was no one...

However.

When he turned his head back.

A lock of golden hair flashed before his eyes~ along with that familiar, beautiful face~

At the same time.

Soft, smooth pink lips were pressed against his~

“Mmm...”

When their intertwined lips parted...

“Sneak attack successful, Li~”

The young girl gave a playful smile, licked the corner of her mouth, and said triumphantly, “You’re such a careless mage, how can you let someone get so close to you so easily~”

“I’m just a mage out of interest...”

“Oh~”

Gwen intentionally drew out the long sound, teasingly laughing, “So that means an amateur mage, right~”

“Alright, daring to mock your man.”

Ye Li wrapped his arms around Gwen’s waist, lifted her up, and kissed her again—

“Mmm-um...”

Although Gwen’s figure was slender and graceful, in front of Ye Li, she appeared even more delicate and petite~

Therefore, she was held suspended in the air by one of his hands, her small legs swinging gently...

“Mmm-ha~ Wait a second!”

Finally escaping her boyfriend’s clutches, the young girl hurriedly handed him the Scepter of Mind and said, “Let’s talk about serious business first...”

“What serious business, hmm~”

Ye Li took the Scepter of Mind, thumped it lightly on the ground, and leaned his body casually against the staff.

His hand, meanwhile, used weaving magic to stroke her lower abdomen, gradually wandering upward...

“Dressing up specifically in this outfit I wove for you, your serious business is that you missed me, right~”

“Oh my...”

Gwen felt a certain bad guy pinch her, so she quickly pulled away, saying, “I said let’s talk about serious business first...”

Hehe~

Ye Li stopped while he was ahead and didn’t pursue further, looking at his little girlfriend with interest: “Alright, go ahead.”

He just loved this side of the young girl... even though they had already done everything, she still acted coy.

“It’s about this staff, you asked me to let Dr. Selvig try it... but I’m not a mage... I used it for a bit... and the result...”

The young girl stammered as she briefly described it to her boyfriend, her deep blue eyes seemingly revealing a bit of embarrassment...

“Hmm...”

Ye Li pondered, holding the cane... cough... the scepter, and listened for a while until he understood what Gwen meant.

To summarize it roughly—try it and you’ll die...

Ah... it wasn’t as exaggerated as losing his life...

However.

After Gwen used the scepter to cure Selvig’s habit of streaking.

This astronomy doctor had developed a “small” problem...

“...It’s fine, I’ll go take a look later.”

Ye Li decided to check on Dr. Selvig’s hysteria later; after all, it was he who had asked Gwen to use the scepter on Selvig...

“It’s good to have you here~”

Gwen thought that since her man was now considered a famous mage, he would surely be able to use the staff to cure that abnormal doctor, so she waved goodbye to Ye Li, “Then I’ll be going now~ I’m meeting Dr. Selvig as Ghost Spider, I can’t be exposed, I’ll leave the rest to you, Li, see you tonight~”

Saying this.

She took a few steps back toward the shadow on the outer wall of the stairwell, and her body slowly submerged into the shadow...

But—

A hand suddenly grabbed the young girl’s slender wrist, gently pulling her out of the shadow portal and into his arms~

“Li, what are you doing~”

“Why are you in such a rush to leave~”

“Aren’t you going to go cure Dr. Selvig...”

Ye Li stroked Gwen’s smooth waist, softly tempting the beauty, “No rush, we can do something we love to do first~”

“Hmm?”

Gwen put on an innocent expression again, opening her beautiful blue eyes, pointing her index finger at her slightly pouted pink lips on her pretty face, and tilting her head, “Hee, are you obsessed with me here, my lecherous boyfriend~”

Ye Li smiled, “I’m obsessed with more than just here...”

“Wu...”

The young girl thought for a moment, then her eyes darted, “Alright then~”

She wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s waist, kicked off the ground, and took him with her as they fell into the shadow behind them—

Pop~

Water-like ripples spread, and the two of them fell from the shadow of a ceiling.

With a soft thud~

Gwen protected her boyfriend as they landed on a soft, pure white bed, bouncing a couple of times~

“Whoa~”

Because of the direction of the fall, Ye Li ended up pressing onto his little girlfriend’s body, “You’re getting more and more proficient with this ability.”

The young girl said proudly, “Of course, I used this to save Dr. Selvig and the others...”

She paused, then reminded him.

“Li, it’s a deal, if we do it now... then tonight is off-limits... I can’t handle two rounds with you in one day...”

“Without you, Jessica and the others will have a much harder time~”

“I don’t care about them... and I’m not that good, you’re just talking nonsense again~”

“Dr. Selvig seems to have a problem.”

Ian looked at the news about Selvig streaking, his expression strange: “Is what he said about the Convergence of the Worlds true?”

“Be understanding.”

Jane helped explain for her old friend, “Selvig isn’t mentally ill, he doesn’t want to be like this, but a god once entered his mind...”

“A god?”

Ian put down his phone and asked with great interest, “Is it the Battle of New York that Louise mentioned?”

“Yeah, intern, you don’t know how dangerous that Battle of New York was...”

Louise also said with certainty, “You might not believe it, but back then, to save a child, my stomach was shot through by an alien, but it only hurt for a second, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state, and my skin even became much fairer and smoother, very bizarre, right...”

“Oh...”
