Chapter 244

The black shadows magnified bit by bit, and one could see that they were silver-black interstellar warships, nearly twenty in total.

Since the Vibranium Mothership was called a mothership, it certainly had sub-ships; these were the Vibranium sub-ships of the Ghost Spider.

Although they were sub-ships, their hull sizes were much larger than the Nova Corps' ships. Just these twenty ships were enough to suppress the momentum of the dense Nova Corps fleet.

Click-click-click-

The cannons of the Vibranium sub-ships opened, and the barrels, containing the energy of the Space Stone, aimed in unison at the Nova Corps and their fleet—

Looking at the large caliber, the Legion Commander couldn't help but swallow his saliva... With a bore that large, one round of bombardment would probably wipe Xandar off the map...

"How about it? Do you still think I'm Ronan's subordinate?"

Ye Li spread his hands, with the imposing Vibranium fleet and the deep Divine Kingdom dimension as his background—"Look at him, is he worthy?"

Cold sweat broke out on the Legion Commander's forehead, and his tone softened involuntarily, "I think... could there be some misunderstanding?"

As he spoke, he pulled the reporting Centurion over to inquire about the situation...

Upon learning that the cause of the incident was actually just an issue of undocumented status, the Legion Commander cursed the Centurion in his heart.

Although the procedure was correct... the result was not right at all...

"Since you know it's a misunderstanding, take me to see your leader."

Ye Li said magnanimously, "I have a deal I'd like to discuss with her."

"This..."

The Legion Commander hesitated. Letting such a dangerous person go to see the leader...

[Let him come... Xandar cannot stop him...]

A voice suddenly sounded in his earpiece...

Xandar, capital, council chamber.

"Not bad, though it doesn't feel much different from the setup on Earth."

Under the hospitality of the Nova Empire leader, Ye Li sat at the conference table.

The Nova leader was a woman, though not a young beauty, but a steady middle-aged woman.

Hearing what Ye Li said, a look of realization appeared on her face, "So you are from Earth. No wonder..."

The Nova Empire naturally knew of Earth, but because Earth had not yet integrated into the universe, they had not recorded the information of Earthlings.

"People coming here from Earth are too rare. It's no wonder the people below misunderstood..."

The leader performed a Nova Empire etiquette to apologize to Ye Li, "Please forgive us."

"There's no need to mention this matter again. I came to talk to you about something else."

Ye Li got straight to the point, "I want to enter into a partnership with you."

"What kind of partnership?" The leader was also curious about the partnership he mentioned.

Ye Li explained it to her in detail. The general content was—

The Nova Empire would promote his divine name and spread his believers, and he could provide some help to the Nova Empire in return.

Moreover, he also intended to use a space gate to allow the Three-Leaf Era Research Institute to conduct some technical exchanges with the Nova Empire.

After listening to Ye Li's explanation.

The leader considered it for a long time...

The conditions Ye Li proposed were quite fair; they were not overbearing terms, but a friendly and mutually beneficial partnership...

Therefore, after thinking it over, she finally nodded and agreed, "These partnership projects are indeed beneficial to both of us. I can have someone contact your side."

"I didn't expect Earth to produce a person like you..."

After finishing the business, the Imperial leader looked at Ye Li with some admiration, "Would you like to have a meal when you have time?"

Ye Li shook his head, stood up, and said, "I'll be going now. I will send someone to handle the contact matters."

They weren't cute girls, so he wasn't willing to stay for a meal.

Besides, although alien food was novel, it would certainly not be to his taste.

"Buddy, did you really go to see the Nova leader?"

Rocket Raccoon and the others were waiting not far outside the capital.

Seeing Ye Li come out, they all gathered around, showing varying degrees of admiration.

Uh... except for Groot.

This wooden head had run to a fountain again and was opening his mouth to drink water...

"It's just meeting a leader, nothing to be surprised about."

Ye Li showed off a little, said goodbye to Rocket and the others, "I just did you a small favor, no need to be too grateful. We'll meet again if there's a chance."

Because of his influence, Rocket and the others could now move freely on Xandar as long as they didn't continue to break the law.

"Leaving already?"

Star-Lord wanted to cling to a big shot's leg, "We're fellow countrymen after all, and we haven't gotten to know each other well yet. No need to be in such a hurry."

[Get to know what with you? Get to know how to dance awkwardly?]

Ye Li muttered to himself, bid them a final farewell, and then vanished in a flash.

"Hey!"

Gamora wanted to say something else, but didn't expect Ye Li to just leave like that.

Seeing her expression, Star-Lord suspected, "Hey~ you didn't fall for him, did you? But I don't think he has any interest in you... That's normal, we Earthlings might not be used to your skin color..."

Gamora frowned, raised her leg, and kicked him—Bang~!

"Ouch!" Star-Lord’s face twisted.

Gamora certainly wasn't thinking about those things, but rather thinking that since Ye Li was so powerful... could she ask him for help to deal with her adoptive father, Thanos...

Whoosh~

Ye Li returned to Cabin No. 1 of the Ghost Spider.

"Mr. Ye, you're back. Come and take a bath~"

Rachel and Ariadia had been waiting here, their fair bodies wrapped only in a bath towel.

After bowing slightly, they took Ye Li’s arms, one on each side, and stepped into an artificial hot spring pool with him—

Pop~

Rachel dipped her toes into the water, splashing a little, tested the temperature, and then led Ye Li in~

[No wonder the Japanese like hot springs; it really is comfortable...]

Ye Li adjusted his senses and soaked comfortably in the clear, steaming hot spring water.

Actually... with his current body structure, soaking in magma would have a similar effect...

But that would look too strange, and Rachel and the others wouldn't be able to soak with him, losing a lot of the fun~

"Is this pressure okay? Is it too heavy?"

"Not bad~ This is very good~"

The cat-eyed girl and the butterfly-winged girl began to help Ye Li wipe his body, not using a towel, but scooping up water with their smooth palms and stroking him~

And Ye Li’s two palms rested on their waists wrapped in bath towels...

Don't say... having touched so much bare skin, touching them wrapped in a thin bath towel now felt quite special...

"Mr. Ye, could you lift your hand?"

Rachel whispered softly, "Let me help you wipe here~"

"No problem."

Ye Li cooperated by lifting his hand and placing it behind her snow-white neck, teasingly stroking it—

"Ah~" Rachel let out a very light gasp, her wiping motion not even pausing.

Even just touching her neck, Ye Li’s top-tier technique made her body tingle as if struck by electricity...

Seeing this, Ariadia followed suit and moved her hand down, saying.

"The whole body must be washed clean, not missing a spot. Let me wipe here too~"

[If you're soaking in a hot spring, just soak properly... doing these extra things... is really unnecessary...]

Ye Li expressed his disdain righteously in his heart, while his body very honestly spread his legs, allowing the palms resting on his thighs to...
