Chapter 287

"Those robots are Ultron; Jarvis has provided a response."

After scanning, Tony said, "As for those blue-skinned people, I can't find any data on them here. Black Widow, do you have any records at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

[I don't know what they are either.]

Seeing Seeing Natasha, piloting the fighter jet, replied over the comms: [Maybe you could ask the people at the club.]

"Alright."

Tony turned his head again and asked the two, Pietro and the other, "Do you know what those blue Smurfs are?"

"This..."

Johnny spread his hands, "I'm only responsible for fighting and picking up girls; the ones who browse the club's intelligence database are always Peter, Ned, and the others..."

Pietro nodded in agreement, "Why don't we just go grab one and ask?"

"...If I intended to alert the enemy, would I even need to ask you?"

Tony was speechless and simply dialed a call to Ye Li—

The Ghost Spider.

Before going to rescue Star-Lord, Ye Li intended to rest a bit, for instance, by getting Nebula, who was still bare, dressed.

However.

When he teleported back to the room, he was caught by the two little maids who had been waiting for a long time—

"Mr. Ye..."

Aierdidia looked at Nebula, her eyes widening in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Are you always this... this wild when you bring girls back now?"

"Uh..."

Ye Li looked at Nebula... the little bee was actually still diligently gathering nectar...

It was no wonder the maids had such strange expressions... teleporting back in this posture was indeed quite flashy...

He patted Nebula and said, somewhat unable to laugh or cry, "Alright, stop racking up the performance; I'll get you a set of clothes like your sister's."

"Hmm? ...Hmm..."

Nebula lifted her eyes slightly to look at him and gave a soft hum in agreement... but in action, she didn't do as he said, just nodded obediently...

"You..."

Seeing Nebula's slightly mischievous look, Ye Li chuckled indulgently and simply pressed his hand onto her smooth shoulder—

Strands of divine threads began to spread, wrapping around Nebula's beautiful body.

Soon, the Spider-Silk Divine Garment formed a tight-fitting, blue-purple outfit on her.

"Mm..." Nebula stopped her nodding head and looked down to examine the clothes on her body...

Then she looked up at Ye Li again, her eyes filled with joy, and she mumbled, "So good..."

Ye Li teasingly placed his index finger on her collarbone, slid it gently up her swan-like neck, hooked her rounded chin, and smiled warmly, "As long as you like it; I saw you liked wearing this color before."

"Mm-hmm..." Teased by his fingertip, Nebula felt a tingling, electric sensation at her neck and couldn't help but swallow.

"Alright, stop teasing her."

Gamora flipped the dark green hooded cloak on her body, shielding Nebula's shy appearance, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the Ravagers? Now that Nebula is dressed, let's go."

"Mm."

Ye Li responded softly, but didn't move immediately; instead, he looked at Rachel and asked, "Mantis..."

"She has already arrived."

Rachel blinked her cat-like eyes and answered preemptively, "We've already helped her to the side room to rest... Mr. Ye is really cunning; you promised the three of us would challenge you together, but you solved Mantis first~"

"It's fine, when the time comes, you and Aierdidia will be the main force, just let her learn a bit more."

Ye Li joked with the cat-eyed maid and prepared to leave.

[Beep—]

Tony Stark's call happened to come through at this moment—

[Hey, Li, does your club's database have information on these blue-skinned guys? It's these—]

Following Tony's voice, a video clip filming the Talokan soldiers was transmitted over.

"This is..."

After watching for a few moments, Ye Li understood—

Namor had actually gotten into it with Ultron...

Quite interesting...

[You don't know either?] Tony asked on the other end.

[Oh no, I do.]

Ye Li explained casually: [They are soldiers from an undersea kingdom...]

[Undersea kingdom?]

Tony said in surprise: [Could the rumored undersea kingdom of Atlantis be real?]

Ye Li: [This undersea kingdom is called Talokan; they are descendants of the Maya who migrated underwater to escape war. They gained the ability to survive underwater through a certain herb, and when they are in the water, their physical fitness becomes much stronger than that of ordinary humans.]

Tony was slightly surprised: [There's such a magical herb?]

Ye Li: [If you are interested in this herb, I can send you one to study.]

Tony: [How do you have one?]

Ye Li: [That's a long story...]

Tony: [Uh... alright, then don't tell it for now... I still have things to deal with here; just send me a copy of the Talokan data.]

[You have Pietro and the others contact Peter; I have things to be busy with here too.]

[Beep—]

After hanging up the call.

Ye Li pulled Nebula's fair, tender arm, dragging her up while she was still eating, "Stop eating, it's time for us to go."

*Bo~* Nebula's soft lips made a light sound as she was forced to separate from the food she was still holding in her mouth.

"Mm..." She had no choice but to swallow what was left in her mouth with lingering reluctance...

...This was a hard-won trophy; she had wanted to savor it properly.

"Let's go~" Gamora reached out to wrap her arm around her sister's, laughing, "There will be plenty for you to eat later~"

"Mm..."

Nebula nodded gently, her expression dazed, not knowing what she was thinking about...

Suddenly, she wiped her tongue across her lips and teeth, savored the aftertaste, remembered something, and asked Ye Li.

"Eh? This taste... why is it so similar to what you fed me before? Both have a little bit of a bitter taste..."

"Uh..." Ye Li felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

He thickened his skin and patted her shoulder, "Nebula, I'll teach you a principle from our Earth... some things are better understood tacitly; there's no need to spell them out."

"Is that so?" Nebula raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, "You Earthlings are a bit strange..."

"Don't misunderstand!"

Rachel raised her hand at this moment and interjected with conviction: "Most of us Earthlings are still quite normal!"

"..."

Ye Li's face turned a bit dark.

This meant she was saying he wasn't normal...

"Don't listen to her nonsense, Nebula."

Ye Li pinched Nebula's shoulder lightly and said affectionately, "Look at me back then, wasn't it also for your own good? Don't you agree~"

"Mm." Nebula nodded with a serious expression and said with conviction, "I know, Master does everything for me."

"Whew~" Rachel hissed and muttered secretly to herself on the side, "Another one who's been fooled..."

Upon hearing this, a few black lines appeared on Ye Li's forehead again#...

However, he didn't bicker with the little girl and waved his hand at Rachel, "We're leaving; I'll deal with you when I get back."

"Hmph hmph~"

A sweet smile hung on Rachel's face; she tapped her pink lips with her index finger and blew him a flying kiss, "Then I'll wait for you to teach me a lesson properly~ Master~"

[Hiss—what a little wild cat...]

Ye Li felt itchy in his heart from the provocation and quickly left with the Gamora sisters.

Otherwise, he was truly afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would make Star-Lord wait a few more hours...

Contraxia.

On this planet, there was also a place similar to a red-light district.

However, the services provided in this red-light district were no longer real people, but purely yellow-skinned bionic women.

They possessed intelligence close to that of real people and could be turned on or off at any time, with their memories cleared, which was very convenient for customers.

In one of the rooms, a blue-skinned man tightened his belt, clearly having just finished his business.

His face was full of uninhibited roguishness, and he had a unique red device on his head.

—Yondu Udonta, the leader of a Ravager faction, and the man who raised Star-Lord.

Unfortunately, Star-Lord didn't want to call him father...

After getting dressed.

Yondu walked out of the room and saw a man talking eloquently at the entrance of the brothel, which made him pause for a moment.

This man was Stakar, who had once been on the same team as Yondu.

However, because Yondu had taken Peter Quill away, he had violated the Ravagers' principles and was expelled by his former team.

Seeing an old acquaintance now.

Yondu couldn't help but salute and greet Stakar, "Stakar, long time no see."

Stakar didn't give him a good look, and the smile he had been wearing disappeared.

"It seems this place has fallen in the wrong way."

He pointed at Yondu with a cold face and turned to leave directly.

The madam of the place rushed up to try and keep this big spender, "Don't go, I beg you, sir..."

Stakar didn't look back, "There are a hundred factions of Ravagers; you lost the other ninety-nine just to entertain one."

Yondu had been slighted, and his expression turned ugly as well...

"Ugh!"

Bang!!

He suddenly smashed a wine bottle at his side, rushed behind Stakar in a fit of shame and anger, and shouted with a hoarse voice.

"Go to hell! I don't care what you think of me!"

"Then why are you following me!" Stakar shouted back, not to be outdone.

Yondu: "Because you have to listen to me!"

Stakar: "I don't have to listen to anything; you betrayed the principles! Ravagers don't trade children!"
