Chapter 309

The remaining Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Ham, and Peter B. Parker all had shattered bones throughout their bodies; even with their extraordinary Spider-Totem physiques, they needed to rest for a while longer.

As for why Ye Li didn't use the Horse Talisman to save them...

It was because he remembered that in the comics—

After Peter Parker was beaten to a near-death state by Morlun, he was reborn from a web cocoon and became even stronger.

He wanted to see what the potential of these few Spider-Men was and if they could achieve this step.

If any of them truly had this kind of potential, Ye Li wouldn't mind taking one or two as subordinates.

However, to his slight disappointment, after waiting for a day, he didn't see anyone undergo such a change.

On the contrary, Peter Parker from Universe 42 recovered the fastest and was already able to move.

And as soon as he could move, he immediately found Ye Li to express his gratitude.

Besides that, there was also the purpose of asking about Ye Li's identity.

"Mr. Ye, are you also from another universe, brought here by Kingpin's particle collider?"

"You could say that's half right." Ye Li chatted with him for a while longer, given how much he looked like the Peter of this universe.

"Then we must hurry. As soon as Spider-Ham and the others recover, we'll head to the collider immediately."

Peter Parker reminded him, "You Spider-Men brought here by the collider will have rejection reactions in my universe. If it goes on too long, your bodies might even collapse, so you must go back through the particle collider as soon as possible."

Seeing that Peter also mistook him for a Spider-Man, Ye Li didn't explain further and nodded.

"Since that's the case, I'll heal them, and we'll set off tomorrow morning."

That night.

Because Ye Li had already had his fill during the day, he stayed in a single room, preparing to rest alone.

However, just as he turned off the lights and prepared to sleep, he suddenly felt movement at the foot of the bed, as if someone had crawled under the covers...

If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly be startled.

But Ye Li felt the smooth skin touching him under the covers, and he quickly had a guess in his heart.

[Could it be that Gwen wasn't satisfied during the day and snuck over at night...?]

[With my combat power, that shouldn't be the case...]

[Or is it that Galacta, that little girl, is hungry again...]

Just as he was speculating.

A head poked out from under the sheets—short black hair, big sparkling eyes—who else could it be but Peni Parker.

"Peni? Why are you here..." Ye Li said in surprise.

"Li, I'm leaving soon."

Peni Parker reached out both hands, wrapped them around his neck, brought her little face close, pursed her lips and said, "Before I leave, I still can't think of how to thank you... I see you seem to like playing games with those two sisters... how about I..."

Ye Li suddenly realized, rubbing her hair, and chuckled, "What do you want to play first?"

"W-whatever you want, you know more about this..."

"Then I'll let myself go."

At dawn.

Gwen came to Ye Li's room door, knocked, and called out softly, "Li, time to get up. Peter... um... the Peter of this universe said we should go to the collider as early as possible, so he asked me to come and call you."

Bang~

The door opened at her knock; it was clearly left ajar.

"Huh, it's not locked?"

Gwen curiously pushed the door open and entered.

And then.

She saw Peni Parker putting on her shoes...

"Peni? You..."

"Ah~! Sister Gwen."

Peni hurriedly wiped her face, then pulled up the knee-high socks that were drooping on her feet, and explained, "Um... I was too bored this morning, so I came over to play with Li for a while."

"Oh————"

Gwen nodded knowingly, then walked over, picked up a small JK tie from the floor and handed it to her, teasingly smiling, "Don't forget your tie. When I was in school, I once left my tie in Li's room, and Jessica laughed at me for a long time~"

"O-okay... thank you, Gwen."

Peni's face was so red it seemed like it could bleed. She hurriedly tied her tie, not even caring who this Jessica Gwen mentioned was, stumbled to her feet, and ran hurriedly toward the door.

As she was about to leave.

She turned back reluctantly and said goodbye to Ye Li softly, "Li, goodbye... I will always miss you."

"It's too early to say goodbye now."

Ye Li smiled gently, "I've decided to go with you to visit your world."

"What did you say?"

Peni suspected she had misheard.

"I said, I'm going with you to your world." Ye Li repeated amusingly.

"Really? That's great!" Peni was instantly overjoyed beyond measure.

However, after thinking for a moment, her expression suddenly became worried, "But... you aren't from my universe. If you go, won't you also have a rejection reaction? That's very dangerous; I can't let you take this risk for me..."

"Don't worry."

Ye Li comforted her, "Look at me here, aren't I perfectly fine?"

"But, also... Peter said the collider can only send us back to our original universes."

"You can rest assured about that too."

Ye Li walked up to her, pulled her into his arms, and promised, "I have my own ways; I will definitely be able to arrive with you."

"I..." Peni was moved beyond words, quietly leaning against his chest, letting him hold her in his arms.

"Whoa~"

Gwen whistled at this moment, her eyes fixed on a certain spot, and teased, "Li, you've got good energy this morning~"

Peni subconsciously followed her gaze, and immediately blushed and backed away.

"Li... you should put your clothes on first."

[Parallel Universe Project] Research Base.

"This is it."

Peter 42 swung on a web, found the slot on the ceiling, and inserted the prepared mechanical USB drive—

Wuen——!!

The light of the particle collider immediately bloomed within the massive circular laboratory.

Peter 42 hurriedly shouted, "Guys, I've controlled the light waves! Come up quickly!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Following several white webs shot out, several Spider-Men landed on the ceiling.

Among them, Peni, because her robot was broken, was carried up by Ye Li.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye."

Peter B. Parker scanned everyone, finally letting his gaze fall on Ye Li, "Buddy, thank you. You saved my life. If we can meet again, I'll treat you to pizza."

Ye Li smiled and nodded politely, not saying anything.

"Buddy, I've heard a bit about your situation."

Peter 42 reached out and patted his middle-aged self on the shoulder, encouraging him, "I believe Mary Jane still loves you... er... loves us. Gather your courage and try one more time."

"Alright, even I've said as much."

Peter B. Parker shrugged, "Then I'll confess to my ex-wife one more time."
