But then again, even if Zhou Ye didn't cheat, the four weak girls wouldn't be able to resist him... In the end, the four-person alliance was crushed by Zhou Ye's army and utterly defeated... If there hadn't been a time constraint, they probably would have been in an even worse state...
Through the playful interactions, the four girls felt as if this man had already walked into their hearts a long time ago... This strange sense of familiarity was slowly eroding their hearts...
In the end, Zhou Ye still let them go to wash up and dress... After all, it was almost time for dinner...
The four girls, like happy little birds, chirped and chattered as they rushed into the washroom, busily helping each other with their hair and makeup... They were no longer as apprehensive and cautious as they had been that morning...
Now, to them, Zhou Ye was their man, their support... They had no reason to be afraid of their own man, did they?
By the time they had finished washing up, dinner had already been served... A candlelight dinner; Zhou Ye had never been stingy with such small gestures... After all, the girls had already given themselves to him, it would be a bit much not to show some tenderness...
Smiling as he watched the four girls walk over, Zhou Ye rarely displayed his gentlemanly demeanor, pulling out chairs and setting out cutlery for each of them...
"To meeting you all, cheers..." Zhou Ye said, raising his glass with a smile.
"Cheers..." The girls also smiled and clinked glasses with their man.
"What are your plans for the future? Do you want to stay in Seoul, or come with me?" Zhou Ye asked as he gently cut into the steak in front of him.
"I... I want to continue staying in Seoul..."
Chapter 553
"I... I want to continue staying in Seoul..."
The four sisters looked at each other... Finally, Hyo-ri, the leader of the group, spoke up. After saying this, Hyo-ri cautiously watched her man's expression.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Hyo-ri had pretty much figured out what kind of man her man was; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a male chauvinist... She was very afraid that her words would anger him...
"Why?" Zhou Ye wasn't angry. He simply used his fork to pick up a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.
"I... I want to debut... I want to be on stage..." Hyo-ri hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke her mind.
"That's fine..." Zhou Ye smiled slightly. He wasn't a fossil, but... some things needed to be nipped in the bud... "I can help you debut... I can even help you become world-class superstars... But you're not allowed to take any roles with large-scale exposure... No kissing scenes, no romance scenes... Forget it, that's too much trouble. I might as well set up a management company for you..."
Feeling that giving instructions one by one was too troublesome, Zhou Ye directly dialed the internal number of the head of Umbrella's Seoul branch using the personal terminal on his wrist.
"Overlord!" After the connection was established, the first thing the branch head did when he saw Zhou Ye was to give an Umbrella military salute.
"No need to be so formal, put your hand down." Zhou Ye said nonchalantly, "Get your hands on the entertainment contracts of these four girls. Also, I want you to register an entertainment agency as quickly as possible. They are all my women and want to make a living in the entertainment industry. Do you know what to do? Right?"
"Yes, Overlord." The branch head hurriedly saluted the four girls and said, "Greetings, Mistresses. I am Austin Follin, the head of Umbrella's Seoul branch. If you have any difficulties, the Mistresses can contact me at any time..."
"..."
"... This..."
"Oh my god..."
The four girls, looking at this sci-fi scene, suddenly felt unreal. You have to know that it was 1997, and the latest technology outside was just computers... And even then, it was the type with only a few hundred megabytes of memory...
For them, the scene before them was no less astonishing than a medieval person seeing a computer. This technology, which had only ever appeared in science fiction novels, was now being displayed in front of them... How could they remain calm?
"Are you surprised?" Zhou Ye said with a smile, looking at the four stunned girls.
"Mmm..." The girls nodded in unison.
"You must know that the latest technology you know doesn't necessarily represent the latest technology in this world..." Zhou Ye said leisurely, eating his steak and giving the girls some science education. "For example, IBM has already developed the third generation of computer chips, and their computing speed is thousands of times faster than the current computer chips, but they haven't released them immediately..."
"Why?" Hyo-ri asked curiously.
"Aren't businessmen supposed to squeeze out the last remaining value of their products? It's also to build a technical reserve for future upgrades..." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"What about your Umbrella Corporation?" Hyo-ri asked further, "Is that what you do too? How advanced is Umbrella's technology?"
"You'll slowly find out in the future..." Zhou Ye smiled and didn't answer. After all, some things would be too scary to say. Did he have to tell her that Umbrella was already leading the world and had rushed into the galaxy first? That Umbrella already had dozens of resource stars... and even a dozen habitable planets?
Saying these things would scare these girls... After all, they were just ordinary girls... Their horizons had never even left this
small peninsular country...
"Tch, stingy..." Hyo-ri pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Overlord?" The head of the Seoul branch, who was still waiting for instructions, reminded his Overlord somewhat awkwardly that he was still there.
"Oh, oh... I almost forgot about you." Zhou Ye realized at this time that the communication was still connected. "How long will it take to register an economic company and sign their contracts?"
"At most, it will take no more than a day, Overlord..." Austin replied respectfully.
"Well, you know what I hate... So, if any news comes out that makes me unhappy, you should know what your fate will be..." Zhou Ye said slowly.
"Yes, Overlord, I understand." Austin naturally knew what his Overlord hated: scandals, kissing scenes, large-scale exposure, etc. Those were absolutely forbidden... If his Overlord found out, his best outcome would be to be recycled... As for deceiving his superiors? Austin had never even thought about such a thing... The loyalty code was not just for show.
"Okay, go get busy..." Zhou Ye nodded and instructed.
"Yes, goodbye, Overlord..." Austin said, bowing respectfully until the communication was closed, and he didn't dare to straighten up...
"Darling... What exactly does Umbrella do?" Seeing this scene, Hyo-ri was full of curiosity about Umbrella. Advanced technology... Strict hierarchical relationships... Moreover, Hyo-ri vaguely saw a hint of a soldier's fortitude from this person in charge.
"Oh, it's nothing, just our family business..." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Why does he call you Overlord instead of Director?" Hyo-ri transformed into "100,000 Whys", constantly asking questions.
"Because I am their Overlord, I dominate everything about them, including life and death..." When Zhou Ye casually said this, he didn't notice Hyo-ri's expression...
What kind of man is the most attractive? Others may not know, but at least for Eastern women, domineering men are more attractive. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many domineering CEOs, etc...
Women's genes are inherently inherited with the attachment to the strong, so domineering is an irresistible charm for them...
Obviously, Zhou Ye was indeed very domineering at this moment. That casual tone and domineering words made Hyo-ri intoxicated... And her three sisters also turned into little fans... Their eyes were sparkling with brilliance...
"Oppa... You were so handsome just now..."
"No, I'm going to be charmed to death by Oppa..."
"Slap... Slap... Slap... Slap—" Four crisp slaps in a row made the four girls' mouths pout again...
"Why did you hit us... Oppa."
"Speak properly..." Zhou Ye felt that the "Oppa" from those four girls was making his whole body numb... He couldn't stand it.
"Hehe..." Seeing Zhou Ye's unbearable expression, Hyo-ri stood up playfully and directly got into Zhou Ye's arms, picked up Zhou Ye's fork, "I'll feed you, Oppa..."
Zhou Ye glanced at her and knew that this girl was doing it on purpose... But, so be it, who's afraid of who... Anyway, the one who begs for mercy in the end will definitely not be him...
Moreover, the other three girls in the group also followed suit, standing up and surrounding Zhou Ye... One said, "Oppa, I'll feed you wine..."
Another said: "Oppa... I'll help you wipe your mouth..."
Zhou Ye smiled slightly. You're asking for your own death... Originally, he wanted to let them rest well tonight, considering that they had just done that today, but it seemed that they were going to challenge their man's endurance again...
With a wave of his hand… the girls realized that in the blink of an eye, they were completely naked… "Ah—!"
"Ye, we haven't finished eating yet…"
"It's okay, we can eat again later…"
In the end, the four women finally confirmed the saying that those who play with fire will get burned… At the same time, they also learned that their man was a big, bad ox capable of plowing their small private plots until they were ruined… It's just that they realized it too late…
Chapter 554
Seoul National University—Gwanak Campus.
This is the main campus of Seoul National University—and today, the already crowded main campus is even more packed, with students holding books and rushing around everywhere…
"Senior, what day is it today? Why are there so many people here!" A plain-looking international student looked at the dense crowd and curiously asked his senior, whom he had only known for a short time, "I feel like students from all three campuses have gathered here…"
"Today is the day the Umbrella Education Foundation is here for the school's evaluation…" His senior said, with a hint of mixed love and hate on his face when he mentioned the Umbrella selection…
"Oh, so that's how it is." The international student also knew of Umbrella's reputation, but looking at his senior's tangled expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, you…"
"You must remember…" The senior interrupted the international student and said directly, "If you want to rise to the top in one step, then participate in the Umbrella Education Foundation's selection, but… you must, must participate only when you are confident…"
"Why?" The international student was a little strange. Since it was a chance to rise to the top in one step, why should he only participate when he was confident? Shouldn't he just rush in?
"Because—the opportunity only comes once." The senior said meaningfully.
Although every student has a chance for the Umbrella Education Foundation's assistance program… the opportunity only comes once. If you don't cherish the opportunity Umbrella gives you, Umbrella won't give you a second chance. Isn't that fair?
In this senior's opinion, these freshmen and sophomores, who all looked eager to try, as if the door to the Umbrella University Alliance was opening to them, couldn't help but smile mockingly. He was no different from them back then… full of confidence, but he believed that reality would soon educate them.
Just then, a convoy of more than a dozen luxury cars slowly passed by the two—he knew that the people from Umbrella had arrived…
And at this moment—Zhou Ye was sitting in the middle of the extended luxury car, leisurely looking at the crowded scene outside the window—
Although it was drizzling today, it didn't affect Zhou Ye's good mood at all… Because—
"Darling, I put Zhao Hailun's resume in the first place, so it's convenient for you to finish your business early and go back to continue playing games with your four little girlfriends…" Ying Yi, dressed in a black OL suit, snuggled in her man's arms and said with a smile.
As a shadow guard who had followed Zhou Ye for decades, Ying Yi knew her man's personality too well. You want him to work seriously? That's simply a dream—besides, he came for Zhao Hailun in the first place. If you let him interview dozens of people before seeing his target, he would probably lose his temper…
"Baby, you know me too well." Zhou Ye happily hugged Ying Yi and kissed her. He really didn't have the patience to interview these students… Although he was here in the name of supervising the Education Foundation's selection work, in fact, he was only here to take back his little lamb that he had been raising.
The convoy quickly arrived at the selection site.
As soon as Zhou Ye got out of the car, Umbrella staff who had arrived early to prepare came to greet him and led him to the main seat in the interview hall.
It wasn't that the leaders of Seoul National University didn't want to come, but they wanted to get to know Zhou Ye, but Zhou Ye directly rejected them. Zhou Ye had no interest in chatting with a bunch of old codgers in their fifties…
Soon, everything was ready. Zhou Ye looked at Ying Yi, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Let's begin."
"Okay." Ying Yi replied and directly notified the staff outside, "We can start…"
"Student Zhao Hailun… Is Student Zhao Hailun here?" The staff outside shouted Zhao Hailun's name through the loudspeaker.
A girl with glasses and a pretty face was surprised to shift her attention from the book in her hand to the staff. She looked at the code in her hand with some disbelief. That's right, the number is 10776, how could they call her name first?
At this moment, a slightly chubby boy also had the same question, because his number was 00001. Hearing that the person the staff called was not him, he was immediately furious. To get this number, he had treated his roommates to several big meals to take turns queuing up, because—no matter what you do, the people in front always get a slight advantage.
After all, there were many applicants, but there were only a few dozen places. Generally speaking, a person's energy is limited, and only the first few hundred are really carefully screened. Most of the people behind just rush in, and you won't be given enough opportunities to show yourself… That's why he was so angry.
"My number is clearly 00001, why aren't I called first?" He squeezed to the front and questioned the Umbrella staff.
"I'm sorry, the number never represents our calling order…" The staff explained calmly.
"You have been following the numbers for the past few times, why aren't you following the numbers this time?" Obviously, his explanation didn't satisfy this angry student.
But when has Umbrella ever been polite? The staff member didn't even bother to acknowledge him, directly telling the security personnel behind him, "He's a little too agitated… take him aside to cool down…"
Two burly security guards came over and dragged the boy out of the crowd… Although the students were somewhat stirred, they were helpless in the face of Umbrella's tough attitude… After all, Umbrella's selection event determined their future prospects and could even be their chance to rise to the top… How could they risk getting their names on Umbrella's blacklist for the sake of a stranger?
The staff member continued with his work, not daring to delay his master's affairs… "Is Ms. Helen Zhao here? Ms. Helen Zhao, please enter the interview room for your interview…"
"I am Helen Zhao…" The beautiful girl finally appeared before the staff member. Although she had witnessed the scene just now, she didn't want to miss this interview… Moreover, she didn't think there was anything fishy about it. She believed herself to be innocent and had no connection with Umbrella…
"Please follow me…" Upon seeing Helen Zhao, the staff member immediately led her towards the interview room… He knew that his master had been waiting for her for a long time…
Chapter 555
After leading Helen Zhao to the entrance of the interview room, the staff member left…
Helen Zhao looked at the half-open door in front of her, took a deep breath, and pushed it open—
Although she had absolute confidence in passing the selection, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous… After all, no one dared to truly claim they could absolutely pass the selection.
"Hello, esteemed examiners, my name is Helen Zhao." As soon as she entered the hall, Helen Zhao saw the blonde-haired youth sitting in the chief examiner's seat. The handsome youth's gaze made her feel as if she were standing naked before him…
"…" Zhou Ye looked at the girl in front of him. To be honest, she was still a bit green. After all, the Helen Zhao in the movies was almost thirty years old, exuding a mature aura, while this Helen Zhao was not yet that old, but she had a hint of youthful charm. He was very satisfied…
"Helen Zhao, is it?" Zhou Ye held her resume in his hand and asked, "I've read your resume. It shows that you're practically a genius, and your family background is also good. Can you tell me why you want to apply for the Umbrella Scholarship Program? You must know that participating in this program means that you must work for an Umbrella-affiliated company in the future…"
This was what Zhou Ye was most curious about. Not many people liked being directly pre-determined. After all, in the minds of these young people, they were bound to achieve great things, so who would want to be bound in advance?
"Because I want to work for the Umbrella Corporation," Helen Zhao said calmly.
"Oh? Can you tell me why?" Zhou Ye was even more curious.
"Because Umbrella Corporation is the most advanced representative of biotechnology in the world. I believe that if I work in an Umbrella-affiliated biological laboratory, it will bring me greater gains," Helen Zhao said eloquently.
"Interesting… too interesting…" Zhou Ye smiled. He instantly appeared in front of Helen Zhao from behind the table, gently lifting her slightly pointed chin with his hand, and said, "As expected of the little lamb I've been raising, you've given me such a big surprise!"
"You… you…" Helen Zhao was stunned by the scene before her, which defied common sense. Although she had heard that there were many superheroes in the United States, such as Captain America… seeing a superhuman in person was a first for her.
"Just a little ability…" Zhou Ye smiled and stroked Helen Zhao's cheek with his fingertip.
"What do you want to do to me…" Helen Zhao crossed her arms, took a few steps back, and leaned against the door of the hall, watching Zhou Ye warily. "This is in broad daylight…"
"Broad daylight?" Zhou Ye chuckled.
"… … … … … …" Only then did Helen Zhao notice that the examiners who had been sitting with Zhou Ye had disappeared at some point… [Those examiners said, 'If the master is picking up girls, are we going to stay there and wait for the master to get angry?']
"… … … …" While quickly thinking of a solution in her mind, Helen Zhao secretly reached for the doorknob behind her… She wanted to rush out. In her opinion, no matter how unscrupulous this handsome youth was, he would definitely not dare to plot against her in front of tens of thousands of students…
Zhou Ye saw through her little scheme at a glance… Originally, he planned to use telekinesis to seal the door, but in an instant, he changed his mind… A novel way of playing appeared in his mind.
"Snap—!" A crisp sound rang out—Zhou Ye snapped his fingers.
Helen Zhao, watching the young man approaching her, suddenly stopped her steps. He actually snapped his fingers? What was that about? Was he going to start dancing awkwardly? But then, a series of crisp sounds of glass shattering rang out—
Although the sound of glass breaking was very harsh, Helen Zhao, who was being approached step by step by Zhou Ye, couldn't bother to see where the glass was breaking. She felt that she had grabbed the doorknob, twisted it open, opened the door, and rushed out…
The Hide-and-Seek Game — Now Begins!" Zhou Ye murmured, smiling slightly. Although he couldn't go back to watch the sensual dance he choreographed for the four girl group members, it wasn't bad to play a little game…
Thinking of this, Zhou Ye unhurriedly chased after her… Run? In the mirror world, where could Zhao Hailun run to? Therefore, Zhou Ye wasn't in a hurry at all… The game was more interesting when played slowly.
Zhao Hailun ran outwards as fast as she could. She didn't even notice that the people she passed seemed to not see her at all… She just wanted to get far away from Zhou Ye now…
It wasn't until she ran through the long corridor and arrived at the waiting area outside, crowded with students, that she finally breathed a sigh of relief…
"Seriously… Seriously, I was scared to death. How could Umbrella have such a pervert?" Zhao Hailun had completely regarded Zhou Ye as a model of mental instability…
"Calling your own man a pervert… That's not a good habit…" A voice suddenly appeared in Zhao Hailun's ear. She turned her head and saw a handsome face, almost touching her face as he spoke…
"Ah—Why are you still here?" Zhao Hailun was startled, but when she saw the crowd of students, she immediately felt a sense of security… "Don't mess around… There are so many people here. If I just shout 'molest,' you'll definitely be beaten into mincemeat."
"Then, we can experiment… To see if I'll really be beaten into mincemeat…" As Zhou Ye spoke, he wrapped his arms around Zhao Hailun's slender waist and, without waiting for her to speak, blocked her mouth. Of course, to show that he wasn't taking advantage of the woman, Zhou Ye used his own mouth…
"Mmm… Mmm… Mmm…"
This kiss lasted a full two minutes… Only then did Zhao Hailun regain ownership of her mouth… As soon as she broke free, she shouted loudly, "Help… Someone's molesting me…"
However, after shouting for a long time, Zhao Hailun embarrassedly discovered… that no one was paying attention to her, only the hateful man in front of her was looking at her with a look of interest.
"Had enough shouting?" Zhou Ye looked at Zhao Hailun's bewildered face and asked with a smile.
"No…" Zhao Hailun broke free from Zhou Ye's embrace and ran outwards… Although she didn't know why, it was clear that she couldn't stay here any longer. She needed to find a public phone to call the police as soon as possible… Now, she could only seek the protection of the police.
"Hey—If I catch you again, I'll kiss you again. Just don't get caught by me."
"You're dreaming—!" Hailun retorted to Zhou Ye as she ran.
However—Two minutes later—She paid the price for this sentence… The price, of course, was having her mouth blocked by Zhou Ye…
This game of you run, I chase lasted for almost an hour… As a top student, Zhao Hailun didn't feel very tired after running for so long… After all, Zhou Ye would occasionally hold her down and block her mouth, and although the situation was a little awkward… it had to be said that she also gained a lot of rest time.
Finally—Zhao Hailun found a public phone—She habitually reached for her phone card, but after searching for a long time, she discovered… that she didn't bring it… This almost made her cry, but fortunately, in her most desperate moment, she saw a line of small print on the public phone [112 · 119 and other emergency numbers are free to dial]
Zhao Hailun excitedly picked up the phone and pressed the 112 emergency number with trembling hands…
Chapter 556
When Zhao Hailun pressed the emergency number and nervously put the receiver to her ear, the sound coming from the receiver… almost made her despair.
[Beep—Beep—Beep—]
This short and rapid beeping sound made Zhao Hailun feel extremely hopeless, because this was the sound of the phone having no signal—Zhao Hailun hung up the phone unwillingly and dialed 112 again, but the result—was still the same… Apart from the beeping sound, there was no other sound.
"Hi, what a coincidence, we meet again…" The voice she loathed came from outside the phone booth.
"What's so coincidental about that…" Zhao Hailun couldn't help but complain, but she knew that she couldn't escape this time… Resist? It wasn't that she hadn't tried to struggle, but she sadly discovered… that her desperate struggles were no stronger than a baby waving its arms in front of this handsome young man…
If you can't resist… then enjoy it… Zhao Hailun thought of this famous saying as she calmly opened the door of the phone booth, walked up to Zhou Ye, raised her head, closed her eyes, and pouted, "Come on…"
"…" Zhou Ye looked at Hailun's resigned appearance and couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really too much fun. "Have you given up?"
"Give up? How is that possible…" Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Zhao Hailun opened her eyes and said unwillingly, "It's just that I'm unlucky, I ran into a broken public phone… Hurry up and kiss me, after you're done I still have to find another public phone…"
"…" Zhou Ye was speechless… This girl has a big heart…
"Are you going to kiss me or not? If you don't kiss me, I'm leaving…" Hailun wouldn't admit that Zhou Ye's kissing skills were superb, and she was even looking forward to Zhou Ye's kiss…
"Of course I'll kiss you…" As Zhou Ye spoke, he lowered his head and blocked her next words.
Just as Zhao Hailun was once again immersed in Zhou Ye's superb kissing skills, a sudden attack made her unable to help but widen her eyes—because she felt a hand reach into her clothes…
"Mmm… Mmm… Mmm…" She struggled desperately, but it was useless—
It wasn't until Zhou Ye contentedly withdrew his hand that he let go of this girl, who was already so weak that she could barely stand…
"You bad guy—pervert—pervert…" A string of words, a mixture of English, French, and a little Japanese, came out of Zhao Hailun's mouth…
Zhao Hailun fully demonstrated her skills as a top student in cursing—a sentence containing six languages—If Zhou Ye hadn't learned all the major languages on Earth for the convenience of traversing the movie world, he really wouldn't have understood what this girl was saying about him.
"If you curse me again, I'll let you know what a real pervert is…" Zhou Ye hugged this top student, who was still struggling desperately even though she could barely stand, and whispered in her ear.
"You understand?" Zhao Hailun's eyes widened in surprise—This was her unique skill… She didn't expect to meet her match today.
"What do you think…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you have five minutes to run away. As punishment for cursing me just now, I've decided that next time I catch you… I'll…"
As Zhou Ye spoke, he made a grabbing motion with his hands… scaring the top student to cover her chest with both hands. "Rogue—!"
"You have four minutes and fifty-five seconds left…" Zhou Ye said nonchalantly.
"You're cheating, time isn't passing that fast at all…" Zhao Hailun said as she dragged her slightly weak body and ran into the distance…
It was said that she ran for an hour, but in fact, she ran less than a kilometer away from the venue… After all, she stopped and went… The time she spent walking wasn't as long as the time she spent being kissed by Zhou Ye.
"Hurry… Faster…" Zhao Hailun dragged her somewhat tired steps and ran towards the place in her memory… Although this was a suburban area far from the city, thanks to the fact that this was the country's recognized highest institution of learning, there was a police station at the school gate, where police officers were on duty all year round… They were Zhao Hailun's last hope.
Seeing the police station in the distance—Zhao Hailun was overjoyed—
She used her last strength to rush towards the police booth… From a long distance away, she began to desperately call for help, "Police officer—Help—There's a pervert…"
However, to her disappointment, the two policemen in police uniforms seemed to not notice her shouting at all, and were still chatting leisurely… As if they didn't see this weak woman who had been running in a disheveled state…
"Let's go drinking together tonight…"
"Okay, I'll wait for you after work, but aren't you afraid of your sister-in-law scolding you?"
"Does she dare? I'll beat her to death…"
"Stop bragging, the last time your sister-in-law came to the police station to find you, look how scared you were…"
"I was letting her have her way, you know?"
"Hey—! ! ! ! !" Hailun stood in front of the two policemen, panting heavily, and shouted loudly, "Are you two idiots? I said I want to report a crime, can't you hear me?"
However, even though she was almost standing next to the policemen's ears and shouting loudly, the two policemen were still the same as before, as if there was no such person as her here…
Zhao Hailun finally couldn't help but slap the older policeman on the shoulder. "Are you two sick?"
"… … … … … …" But… the two policemen still didn't react in any way.
At this time, Zhao Hailun finally felt that something was wrong… In fact, when she was being chased by Zhou Ye all the way, although there weren't many people on the road, she also noticed that it seemed that everyone didn't feel any discomfort about a weak woman being forcibly kissed by a man in public. She originally thought it was due to the deceptiveness brought about by Zhou Ye's handsome appearance.
It must be known that although Zhou Ye had treated her like that, she still had to admit that this man was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life… Just like when a beautiful woman chases after a man on the street and kisses him passionately, passersby would definitely not think that the beautiful woman was harassing the man. Handsome men always have an advantage, at least it's easy for passersby to misunderstand that they are a couple showing off their love in a fancy way…
Therefore, Zhao Hailun didn't pay attention to the indifference of the pedestrians on the road…
However, something was wrong here… It was the duty of the police to respond to any alarm — but now, this kind of indifference had exceeded Zhao Hailun's imagination… In their eyes, she really didn't exist…
Because Zhao Hailun had already discovered a trace of the mirror world's secret in the pupils of the two policemen… She couldn't see her own reflection… In other words, at least in the eyes of the police, she didn't exist?
"This… What exactly is going on?" Zhao Hailun was almost driven crazy —
Chapter 557
"Actually… you're already dead…" A gloomy voice sounded in Zhao Hailun's ear, scaring her so much that she screamed.
"…You bastard… You scared me to death…" For some reason, perhaps it was because of the bizarre situation of this world, or perhaps it was because Zhou Ye had just deliberately pinched his throat and used a gloomy voice to scare her, or perhaps it was only Zhou Ye who could notice her…
After discovering that the owner of this voice was Zhou Ye standing behind her, Zhao Hailun suddenly felt a sense of security…
After all, if a person suddenly discovers that they have become an invisible person in the eyes of others, a non-existent person… this sense of strangeness and insecurity can completely drive a psychologically healthy adult crazy.
What's more, Zhou Ye also had an ambiguous physical intimacy with Zhao Hailun… Regardless of whether this contact was voluntary on her part, Zhou Ye was considered a familiar person to Zhao Hailun…
In a situation where the world suddenly became very strange — a woman would involuntarily put herself in the position of the weak, wanting to rely on someone, such as… this man who stole her first kiss…
"Stop fooling around… Haven't you noticed that this world has suddenly become very strange?" Zhao Hailun said while trying to break free from Zhou Ye's embrace.
"Really? Where is it strange?" As the instigator of everything, how could Zhou Ye not know the characteristics of the mirror world? Before Zhao Hailun could finish speaking, he blocked her mouth…
After a while —
"You bad guy… Haven't you noticed that in the eyes of others, we are non-existent people?" Zhao Hailun had completely given up resisting… She snuggled in Zhou Ye's arms and murmured.
"That's great… This means I can do whatever I want to you now…" Zhou Ye whispered in Zhao Hailun's ear, the breath he exhaled made Zhao Hailun feel ticklish on her earlobe… It was as if all the strength in her body had been blown away by this breath.
"Stop it…" Zhao Hailun's protest became weaker and weaker, she felt that she was completely unable to resist this man's invasion…
"How about we experience what it feels like to be at the highest point of this school?" Zhou Ye's words startled Zhao Hailun, but then she was confused by Zhou Ye's subsequent actions…
Zhou Ye put one arm around her and made a slight gesture of lifting her up out of thin air with the other. With Zhou Ye's action… Zhao Hailun felt a shock under her feet… The ground of the entire police kiosk rose upwards like the protrusions of a gear…
"This… This…" Zhao Hailun's eyes widened, her small mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg…
Everything that happened in front of her had exceeded the common sense she had learned from childhood to university… For example, the effect of force, for example, universal gravitation… for example… Oh damn it, facing a pile of buildings rotating like gears, she didn't know what kind of scientific theory to use to explain all this…
Zhao Hailun wasn't a stupid woman, or rather, she was a very smart woman, maybe her emotional intelligence wasn't as high as her IQ, but she was definitely not an idiot… Looking at the strange scene in front of her, and Zhou Ye's words and actions just now… and associating them with the timing of the strange event, the sound of glass breaking that rang out from somewhere and Zhou Ye's snap of his fingers…
"You did all this, didn't you?" Zhao Hailun grabbed Zhou Ye's clothes tightly with both hands and asked eagerly.
"Uh-huh, that's right." Zhou Ye admitted with a smile, then took out a chair and sat down…
"How did you do all this?" Zhao Hailun's eyes sparkled, and she jumped onto Zhou Ye's body all at once. "Tell me… How did you do it?"
"Just a little magic…" Zhou Ye was very happy that this girl was already willing to throw herself into his arms… He hugged the Zhao Hailun who came to his door without any politeness… Zhou Ye didn't mind telling her a little bit about the truth of this world, after all, she was destined to be his woman, and she couldn't run away.
"Magic? Turning a person into something else?" Zhou Ye's answer confused Zhao Hailun.
"No, what you're talking about is magic tricks, not magic…" Zhou Ye secretly began his actions while using words to attract Zhao Hailun's attention. "The magic I'm talking about is a secret art that has existed since ancient times… It's the embodiment of all the rules of this world, not the kind of thing you perform on stage… This world is a mirror world, born from the real world, but it doesn't affect the real world, just like a world in a mirror… Here, all the physical rules don't apply…"
"Then what rules apply here?"
Zhou Ye's little trick succeeded… Zhao Hailun was completely immersed in the unknown knowledge and didn't notice his little actions at all.
"Here… only my rules apply…" Zhou Ye said with a smile. In fact, in the mirror world, whoever has stronger mental power can interfere with the rules, but Zhou Ye is right to say so… Even the Lord of Darkness, as long as he leaves his dark domain and comes to the Earth's mirror world, he still wouldn't be Zhou Ye's opponent…
Of course, Zhou Ye wouldn't run to the dark domain to find Dormammu for no reason. That would be masochism… At least, before getting the Heart of the Universe, Zhou Ye would never go looking for abuse…
"Your rules…" Just as Zhao Hailun was pondering Zhou Ye's words, she suddenly felt a bit cold. She couldn't help but look down… "Ah—you bad guy, why did you take off my clothes…"
"To completely possess you…" Zhou Ye smiled and stopped wasting words—directly hugging Zhao Hailun and throwing her onto the large tatami mat he had just taken out of his bracelet… "Little little girl, accept your fate, you are destined to belong to me…"
"Bad guy… How can you do this… We just met today, I don't even know your name yet…"
"Remember it well, your man is called Zhou Ye."
"Don't… Ah—!"
In the mirror world—on a mid-air terrace like a floating platform, sounds that made people blush and their ears burn were constantly heard—the octagonal rotating walls that kept floating and spinning around completely obscured the scenery inside…
Chapter 558
"I was wondering why the car that hit me when I was twelve suddenly changed its course. So it was your people who were playing tricks…" At this time, Zhao Hailun, with a lazy look, leaned in Zhou Ye's arms, drawing circles on his body as she spoke.
Zhou Ye had already told her certain things, and Hailun had almost completely accepted her fate…
Facing a man who had strength, power, ability, and looks, what kind of resistance could she put up? Besides… Zhao Hailun didn't want to resist anymore… She couldn't resist this man's mischief towards her… After all, Zhou Ye's Spring Breeze Transformation was not practiced in vain…
"What do you mean by playing tricks… That was to protect you, okay?" Zhou Ye said while holding Zhao Hailun: "Otherwise, you would have been injured that time the Shadow Guard protected you…"
"Do you call this kind of behavior, where someone follows you twenty-four hours a day, protection?" Zhao Hailun playfully slapped Zhou Ye, then she suddenly realized something. "You said you sent Shadow Guards to protect me twenty-four hours a day a long time ago… Doesn't that mean you know everything about me?"
"Hehe… Number Sixteen…" Zhou Ye just smiled mysteriously and said a number.
"… Bad guy!" Just this set of numbers made Zhao Hailun uncontrollably shy, after all, this could be considered the most private thing for a girl… She didn't expect this bad guy to know… How could she not be shy.
The two laughed and joked for a while, and Zhao Hailun helplessly fell back into Zhou Ye's arms… After all, she was a weak woman, and she had just experienced some transformation… She didn't have much strength left.
"Grumble…" A sound came, which seemed particularly harsh on this slightly quiet mid-air platform.
"You must be hungry…" Zhou Ye didn't laugh at her. He knew that after running around all morning and doing such intense exercise, let alone a girl, even a strong man would be almost hungry at this time…
"Yeah…" Hailun nodded shyly. Facing her man, she also wanted to maintain her best demeanor… But her stomach was letting her down!
"Then let's go back to eat…" Zhou Ye said, stepping off the tatami mat, picking up the clothes scattered on the ground, and helping her put them on despite Hailun's objections…
Hailun, who had barely managed to tidy up her clothes, turned her head and saw a circular door emitting sparks… "This is?"
"This is the door to leave this world…" Zhou Ye smiled, wrapped his arm around Hailun's slender waist, and directly passed through the portal—
The top floor of the Umbrella Hotel—
The four Hyo-ri girls were sitting listlessly at the dining table, staring blankly at the food in front of them. They were waiting for their man to come back…
"Unnie, when will Oppa come back? I'm so hungry…" Sung Yuri lie on the dining table, looking at the food in front of her, drooling… There was no way, in the past, in order to maintain their figure, they were forbidden to eat many things—this was simply torture for Sung Yuri, a girl who loved food.
But fortunately, they met their man Zhou Ye…
With Umbrella's biotechnology, Zhou Ye was not afraid that his sisters would become chubby girls? So he directly told them to eat whatever they wanted… Don't worry about your figure, it will definitely not change…
This was simply like heavenly music to the food-loving Sung Yuri. While the Unnies were still hesitating, wondering whether to take it seriously, she had already begun to let go of her appetite…
Just wait a little longer, Oppa might come back later?" Hyori comforted her youngest sister.
"Okay…" Yoori helplessly slumped back onto the dining table, her eyes fixed on the food in front of her… "Oppa, I miss you so much… Why haven't you come back yet…"
"Oh, my little Yoori actually misses me? Could it be she misses the delicious food I bring her?" A teasing voice came from behind the four women… They turned their heads in surprise. "Oppa… you're finally back."
A constantly rotating golden portal appeared behind them. Who else could have walked out of the portal but their Oppa? Just as the four women were about to rush forward and hug their man, another slender figure stepped out of the portal—
This made the four women pause.
In the end, Hyori took on the role of the eldest sister, walking generously to Helen, who looked bewildered, "Hello, you must be Helen. I'm Lee Hyori… Nice to meet you."
"Ah… Ah! Hello…" Facing Hyori, who generously extended her hand, Helen quickly reached out and shook it…
To be honest, Helen was still a little confused. Firstly, it was her first time using a portal, and secondly, she saw four beautiful young women as soon as she stepped out… This couldn't help but make her feel a little sour…
"You came back just in time, we were just about to start eating…" Hyori said, half-pushing Helen, guiding her to the dining table and sitting her down…
In fact, Jooyeop hadn't hidden anything about what he was doing at Seoul University from them… They all knew that their man had come to Seoul this time for a woman… Although they were a little jealous, they didn't object to anything… After all, Jooyeop's strength was evident. They felt that even with Shadow, the five of them would have trouble dealing with their man…
Although they knew about this, it was, after all, the first time they had seen their man bring a woman back from outside… Of course, Little Shadow didn't count. As far as Little Shadow was concerned, they felt that they were the newcomers. What right did they have to be jealous of Little Shadow? But not being jealous of Little Shadow didn't mean they wouldn't be jealous of Helen. After all, Helen was a newcomer to them. That's why, apart from Hyori, the other three women were so cold…
"Who are they…?" Helen looked at the women, somewhat confused. Although she knew in her heart that these women probably had a close relationship with Jooyeop, but… seeing Hyori's enthusiastic behavior, she was still a little confused…
"We are all Oppa's women," Yoori said deliberately, even harboring a little thought of scaring Helen away.
"Oh? What a coincidence, I am also Yeop's woman." With Helen's high intelligence, how could she not see Yoori's little plan? She directly retorted.
Of course, Helen wasn't completely unangered. While speaking, she forcefully twisted the soft flesh around Jooyeop's waist under the table…
"Oppa knows all the secrets on my body…" The usually shy Lee Jung was desperate to retaliate. After saying this, her face turned completely red… She was almost crying.
Yoori and Joohyun gave their sister a gesture of encouragement… This was their little plan, to unite and give Helen a hard time…
"Hehe…" Helen pinched Jooyeop even harder. She retorted with a smile on her face: "Yeop not only knows the secrets on my body, he knows all my secrets from childhood to adulthood…"
Complete defeat——The three women felt that they had been completely defeated in this round of competition…
"I'll give you half an hour to eat… then an hour to rest… then, hehe…" Jooyeop said, eating his food with his head down, without even looking up.
Hearing their Oppa's words, the three girls, who were originally planning to regroup and fight again, couldn't care less and started eating…
This scene left Helen, who was waiting to fight, confused… She didn't know what Jooyeop's words meant…
Hyori, who had been helping Jooyeop pick up food, couldn't bear to see this newly joined sister suffer… She hurriedly said, "Eat quickly, there won't be time to eat later…"
Although she was unhappy that the three girls were targeting her as soon as she arrived, Helen couldn't bring herself to speak coldly to Hyori, who had been very friendly from the start… Although Hyori's words were unclear, Helen obediently picked up her chopsticks and started eating. After all, she was also hungry…
After eating—after resting for a while… Helen understood what Hyori's words meant… This bad guy actually came again… Was he an iron man, wouldn't he get tired?
Four hours later—Helen understood that Jooyeop was indeed an iron man, he really wouldn't get tired… But she was about to be killed by him…
Jooyeop said—Don't be afraid of disharmony in the harem, just make them unable to argue… How simple…
Chapter 559
While Jooyeop was teaching his women how to love each other in Korea…
An uninhabited island in the Arctic Circle—
Here, you can't see the sea's fickleness and impermanence… Because you can only see endless glaciers… Here, you can't find traces of industrial buildings that are ubiquitous in modern society, only a vast expanse of white snow…
This place is like an independent and secluded beautiful woman… quietly waiting for something…
However, this tranquility was soon broken by a buzzing sound… With the sound, a black dot quickly flew towards here from the horizon, as the buzzing sound turned into the unique roar of an aircraft engine… This heavy helicopter with the Z·H logo on its fuselage slowly descended on a seemingly empty open space.
When the helicopter was still five hundred meters from the ground, an unexpected scene unfolded. The ground, which had appeared relatively flat and covered with thick snow, began to slowly slide outwards, forming a large circular opening in a matter of moments. The hole was easily large enough to swallow two such heavy helicopters...
Evidently, the changes in the ground below were not unexpected by the helicopter pilot, who continued to slowly descend the aircraft... Soon, the heavy helicopter vanished into the massive black hole that had opened in the ground, disappearing without a trace. As the helicopter disappeared, the ground closed once more... The deserted island returned to its isolated splendor, as if no helicopter had ever arrived.
This was none other than HYDRA's secret Arctic base... And the person who had arrived on the helicopter was HYDRA's supreme leader, Ophelia.
As soon as Ophelia stepped off the helicopter, the base director, who had been waiting at the helipad for a long time, immediately stood at attention, raising both arms high. "Hail, Hydra."
"Hail, Hydra." Ophelia, dressed in a black military uniform today, possessed an unusual charm. She returned the salute to the base director but walked towards the passageway outside the helipad without turning her head. "What exactly is happening with the Tesseract?"
"Madam... you should... see for yourself..." The base director hesitated, saying, "Starting a day ago, the Tesseract began to exhibit frequent anomalies. It even released a burst of energy just now, injuring several guards..."
"Have you detected anything?" Ophelia asked as she walked.
"No, we can only occasionally detect faint traces of gamma radiation emanating from it..." The base director answered hurriedly.
Ophelia nodded. She believed that the director wouldn't dare to hide anything from her because... he was a HYDRA clone.
In fact, Ophelia had been busy with other matters these past few days. Since returning from the world of death, she had begun searching for the location of the Soul Stone...
Although Ophelia knew from the Ancient One's words that she would definitely have Zhou Ye's child in the future, for a pragmatist like her, doing nothing and simply waiting? That was not her style... As one of the women with the deepest feelings for Zhou Ye, her desire to bear a child for him was so urgent...
Since Hela had forged a bright path for her, how could she be content to simply wait? Of course, she was also unwilling to have her own man cut his soul for no reason...
Therefore, she set her sights on the Soul Stone among the Infinity Stones. Although, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe of the world she came from, it hadn't been explicitly stated where the Soul Stone was located...
However, the netizens' imaginations were boundless... From the snippets of information in the Marvel series of movies, some people had already speculated that the Soul Stone might be in the hidden kingdom of Wakanda in Africa... The Soul Stone was their ancestral soul land for generations.
Just as Ophelia was preparing to send HYDRA agents to infiltrate the Kingdom of Wakanda to gather information about the ancestral soul land...
The director of the Arctic base used the emergency communication line... reporting that the Tesseract, which their base was responsible for researching, had produced an unknown anomaly...
Therefore, Ophelia had rushed over without stopping. Although she could have had her daughter Angel take her directly there, she wasn't confident in Angel's safety. After all, in her opinion, her daughter's mutation might have been caused by the Tesseract. At this moment of the Tesseract's magical rampage, who knew what kind of negative impact it would have on her daughter... So she had taken a helicopter to the Arctic base alone.
Uh, getting off track... Back to the main topic.
Ophelia didn't stop walking. She had been to this base countless times and was very familiar with everything here. After walking out of the helipad, she boarded a descending elevator, dropping about a mile underground. The elevator doors opened...
Ophelia stepped into the laboratory, which was completely surrounded by walls made of three-meter-thick lead plates...
As soon as she entered the laboratory, all the personnel who were busy stopped their work, stood at attention, and raised their arms, "Hail Hydra."
The fanaticism in their eyes seemed almost tangible. Ophelia nodded in satisfaction. She believed that even if she ordered them to commit suicide for Hydra, these people would carry out the order without hesitation...
"Hail Hydra." Ophelia also returned a military salute and walked directly towards the center of the testing ground, which was the size of three football fields...
In the middle of the underground testing ground, a huge machine stood quietly. At the machine's end, the azure Tesseract rested quietly...
Ophelia looked at the dazzling light clusters constantly surging within the Tesseract, and her mind was rapidly calculating... Could it be that the Tesseract awakened ahead of schedule? That shouldn't be... The timeline of the plot is wrong...
Then what exactly is going on?
Just as she was lost in thought... the base director beside her said cautiously: "Madam... I think... could this anomaly be caused by the Sovereign? After all... the Sovereign now has two Infinity Stones on his person..."
Huh?" The base director's words reminded Ophelia… Her man possessed two Infinity Stones… Could he know something? Besides, she hadn't seen him in a while… Actually, it had only been three days, but those three days felt like years to her…
Thinking of this, Ophelia immediately ordered, "You can leave now. Evacuate everyone from the core laboratory and don't leave a single person here for the time being…"
"Yes, Madam." The base director was overjoyed. He knew this was the prelude to Lady Hydra contacting her master…
Although he didn't know why his lady always cleared the area before contacting the master, he obediently and quickly evacuated all the researchers from the entire core laboratory… including himself, of course.
In fact, Ophelia cleared the area before contacting Zhou Ye each time simply because she couldn't figure out what state her man was in. Who knew which woman's bed he was on right now… But no matter which woman's bed he was on, those scenes were not for these people to see. Otherwise, with her man's temper, he would definitely… kill all those who saw what they shouldn't have.
Although Ophelia didn't care about these guys' names, they were, after all, valuable assets of the Hydra organization. Saving a bit was saving a bit. Besides, why make her man angry…? That's why Ophelia had developed the habit of clearing the area before contacting Zhou Ye.
Looking at the vast core laboratory that had become empty, Ophelia pressed the number to contact her man on the personal terminal on her wrist…
Chapter 560
Zhou Ye was awakened by the vibration of the personal terminal on his wrist…
He laboriously pulled his right hand out of Helen's arms…
As a result, as soon as Zhou Ye pulled out his arm, Helen became dissatisfied. Without even opening her eyes, she hugged his body tightly with both arms and murmured, "Bad guy, where are you going…? If you dare abandon me, I'll bite you to death…"
Perhaps her sleep-talking triggered a chain reaction… The girls surrounding Zhou Ye involuntarily squeezed towards him… Some hugged his legs, some hugged his head… In short, Zhou Ye felt like he was surrounded by countless tentacle monsters… But these tentacle monsters were just cute girls…
Zhou Ye smiled wryly while barely raising his right hand and tapping the communication button with his nose… You ask what his left hand was doing? Zhou Ye said his left hand was entangled to death… Couldn't move it…
"Hi— Darling… Uh, it seems I'm disturbing your rest?" Ophelia's three-dimensional projection appeared directly in front of Zhou Ye, a hint of teasing on her face as she saw Zhou Ye's somewhat embarrassed situation.
"Honey, stop it…" To be honest, Zhou Ye felt that his current image was definitely not worthy of being called wise and mighty. After all, his cheeks were squeezed and deformed by the two girls hugging his neck…
"Tsk tsk… Daddy, I've discovered that your current image is really special…" Ophelia suppressed her laughter.
At this moment, Zhou Ye was like a three-headed conjoined freak… It looked extremely funny… Right, screenshot, screenshot. Upload these pictures to the sister forum in the Umbrella internal network so that the other sisters can have fun too… After all, it's rare to see her man so embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Ophelia quietly pressed the screenshot button on her personal terminal…
Looking at his daughter's little actions, Zhou Ye was speechless, but what could he do? Hit her? He couldn't bear to. Ophelia was such a well-behaved and considerate little padded jacket… How could Zhou Ye be willing to hit her? Scold her? Forget it… So, he could only change the subject. "Honey, you contacted me in the middle of the night, it's not just to see me embarrassed, is it…?"
"…Ah, right…" Ophelia embarrassedly stuck out her snake tongue. There was nothing she could do, she just liked to act spoiled when facing Zhou Ye… She liked to see him in trouble… Unconsciously, it seemed as if she had returned to her teenage years… But now was not the time to act spoiled. Ophelia's expression turned serious and she said, "Darling, I think you should come here and take a look…"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to face his considerate little padded jacket's teasing for the time being.
"The Tesseract is showing signs of unusual activity… I suspect that the Tesseract is awakening ahead of schedule…" Ophelia said with a serious expression.
"That shouldn't be… The timing is wrong…" Zhou Ye was also a little confused. The awakening of the Tesseract should have been during The Avengers 1… But at this point in time, Iron Man 1 of the real plot was still a long way off. The Tesseract shouldn't be awakening ahead of schedule.
"The researchers suspect that it's a chain reaction caused by you, darling, possessing two Infinity Stones…" Ophelia said, relaying her subordinates' speculation.
"Okay, I'll go now." Zhou Ye didn't dare to delay. After all, the six Infinity Stones were something he was determined to obtain. Originally, because the Space Stone Tesseract was in his daughter's hands, he had temporarily not considered the idea of that stone. But now that the Tesseract was showing signs of unusual activity, this was something Zhou Ye was unwilling to see…
What if Thanos was playing tricks in the background? If the duck that was already in his beak flew away… that would be a huge embarrassment…
While thinking, Zhou Ye struggled to climb out of the warm embrace of the women… After all, he was the core of the women, and as soon as he moved, the girls woke up…
"Oppa… Where are you going?" Xiao Li asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Ye, why are you getting up so early?" Helen, who had been awakened by Zhou Ye's movements, also opened her eyes and asked, yawning.
"I have some urgent business to take care of…" Zhou Ye said, standing up from the couch… It must be said that Ying Yi, who had followed Zhou Ye for decades, upon waking up, didn't ask her man what he was going to do. Instead, she obediently and quickly prepared his clothes.
The girls watched Ying Yi's actions, and a single thought involuntarily popped into their heads. "We've lost…"
However, losing the person doesn't mean losing the battle… Helen was the first to react, quickly scrambling up and searching for her clothes while saying, "Darling, I'll go with you…"
"I'll go with you too, Oppa."
"I want to go too…"
"Oppa, take me with you…"
"Oppa, I don't want to be separated from you…"
Good heavens, like a chain reaction, all four girls of the group began searching for the clothes they had carelessly discarded before going to sleep…
"Nonsense, it's so dangerous there, what would you go for…?" Zhou Ye's face darkened. This time, he was going to investigate the changes in the Tesseract, and he didn't know if there would be any unknown dangers. How could he possibly bring these weak women who couldn't even truss up a chicken? Ying Yi could barely manage to go… The other five girls were absolutely out of the question.
"Precisely because it's dangerous, that's why I want to go with you." Helen glared at Zhou Ye without backing down, not afraid of him being fierce with her. "If I had to choose between [waiting at home for news of your safety] and [sharing life and death with you], I would definitely not be the woman waiting at home, crying and tearfully praying to God to protect you and bring you back safely… I want to face it with you…"
"We feel the same way…" Xiao Li and the other three girls said, not wanting to be outdone.
Zhou Ye looked at the five women in front of him with determined expressions. It would be a lie to say he wasn't touched. After all, a woman who knows it's dangerous but is still willing to face it with you… No matter what, this woman is worth cherishing. However, moved as he was… he still couldn't bring them with him.
"Darlings, I know you're worried about me… but… your man here isn't someone anyone can harm. Ordinary little explosions or anything like that won't hurt me at all… Don't even mention little explosions, even if the Earth explodes, I'll be unscathed." Zhou Ye's tone couldn't help but soften a lot…
"I don't believe you, prove it to me…" Helen wasn't the kind of person who would believe you just because you said so. Although she knew Zhou Ye was a mage, but… what's that saying? Mages are those squishy classes that die with one touch… How could she believe that Zhou Ye was a thick-skinned, berserker battle mage?
Zhou Ye was rendered speechless by Helen. Prove it to her? How to prove it? Explode the Earth? Then stand at the epicenter of the explosion to prove it to her? Exploding the Earth was indeed a very simple thing for him… But… why would he explode the Earth just to prove he was resistant to beatings? Wasn't Earth-kun innocent? Earth-kun was about to cry, okay? …
"If you can't prove it, then take me with you…" Helen stared intently at the speechless Zhou Ye, not giving an inch. She didn't want to leave Zhou Ye's side at all. Their relationship was at a time of warming up… How could she bear to leave Zhou Ye's side?
"Hehe… Darling, just take them with you. I'll have the Shadow Guards take extra care of them, it shouldn't be a problem…" Ying Yi, who had finished dressing Zhou Ye, smiled and defused the situation for her man. After all, although these little girls were a bit weak, she admired their courage.
"Alright… Hurry up and wash up, I'll only give you five minutes…" Zhou Ye sighed, oh well, with the Shadow Guards protecting them, it shouldn't be a big problem…
"Hooray…" The girls, for the first time, united to argue on principle and won the battle against the Great Demon King Zhou Ye. For them, this was a milestone victory, and they couldn't help but hug each other happily, laughing and jumping.
"Only five minutes, if you're late, it's not enough…" Zhou Ye's voice startled the girls who were celebrating their victory. They couldn't care less about anything else… and ran barefoot towards the washroom…
It was fortunate that this Umbrella Hotel's special presidential suite was designed with the master's always multiple female companions in mind, so there were multiple washrooms…
Five minutes later, the women who had finished washing up followed their man and stepped into the portal leading directly to the Hydra Arctic Base.
Chapter 561
Ophelia smiled as she watched the slowly opening portal in front of her. She knew that her man was coming…
As the golden portal formed, a figure walked out, who else but Zhou Ye… And behind him, there were six girls…
"Hi, Xiao Ying, long time no see…" Seeing Ying Yi and Helen and the other girls, Ophelia smiled and greeted them. After all, she also knew Xiao Ying… In the big gatherings, everyone was a good comrade-in-arms who fought against the enemy together…
"Ophelia, long time no see." Xiao Ying also smiled and greeted Ophelia.
"These are the newly joined sisters, right? Welcome." After Ophelia hugged Xiao Ying, she smiled at the five girls who were standing behind Xiao Ying, somewhat restrained.
"Is this Umbrella's experimental base? So amazing…" To be honest, as soon as Helen came over, she was dazzled by the experimental equipment here… She recognized many, but even more that she couldn't even name…
"This is not Umbrella's experimental base…" Ophelia smiled, taking Helen's hand with one hand and Xiao Li's with the other (With her experience, she could tell at a glance who was in charge among the four girls in the group.) and said, "This is just my experimental base, it's far inferior to Umbrella's experimental base…"
"So amazing…" Helen was already dazzled by the surrounding high-tech devices at this time, and her occupational disease had relapsed…
Zhou Ye didn't say much, only gave Ophelia a look. Ophelia obediently nodded, knowing that her man wanted her to take the sisters to a safe area...
"Let's go, I'll take you to rest first." Ophelia said, and without explanation, led the women towards the isolation zone outside the core test area... After all, it wasn't safe for them here... She didn't want her man to be distracted taking care of her while dealing with changes...
"But..." Although Xiaoli was a little unwilling to leave Zhou Ye's side, looking at the blonde beauty who had shown so much enthusiasm at their first meeting, she couldn't bring herself to refuse...
After Ophelia led the girls away from the experimental area, Zhou Ye slowly walked up to the Tesseract...
As he approached, the Tesseract seemed to breathe, emitting a contracting and expanding light blue glow. The dazzling ball of light at its center also began to rotate slowly, like a nebula...
"Huh? Could it really be the anomaly I brought?" Zhou Ye also felt the Time Stone and Power Stone on his Soul Armament emitting rhythmic pulsations... echoing the changes in the Tesseract.
Zhou Ye involuntarily placed his hand on the Tesseract... He already felt that he should be the reason for the Tesseract's anomaly...
But, why had it taken so long since he returned to Earth, why was the anomaly only happening today?
Just then... a sudden change occurred—
The Tesseract, which had only been emitting a soft blue light, suddenly burst out with dazzling brilliance—then, a beam of light shot into the sky... as if piercing through the walls of the entire base... A starry sky directly appeared above Zhou Ye's head...
Zhou Ye instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand from the Tesseract, but found that the Tesseract was firmly stuck to his hand. Even though he was strong enough to pull the Tesseract from its mechanical fixture, he still couldn't get rid of it...
That thing was like it had grown on his hand, impossible to shake off...
In the monitoring room, the women who witnessed this scene couldn't help but shout, "Darling..."
"Darling, let go of that thing..."
"No..."
Anxious, Xiaoying even teleported directly to Zhou Ye's side, desperately trying to pull the Tesseract that was stuck to her man's palm... Tears welled up in her eyes. "Let go... let go..."
"It's too dangerous here, baby, leave quickly..." Zhou Ye looked at Xiaoying, who was desperately trying to pull the Tesseract, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. In fact, even now, he didn't feel any danger, but... he didn't want his woman to get hurt. While pushing Xiaoying away from him, he said, "Leave here, baby, I'm fine..."
"No, I don't want to..." Xiaoying shook her head desperately... She couldn't imagine what would happen if she lost this man...
"Be good, I'll be right back, I'll be back soon." Zhou Ye said... smiling slightly, he drew a circle with his free left hand, and a golden portal appeared directly under Xiaoying's feet... Before she could react, it closed...
As Xiaoying was teleported away by Zhou Ye... a pillar of light shot out from the Tesseract, and Zhou Ye's figure instantly disappeared from the women's sight...
"No..." Ophelia went crazy, directly smashing the five-inch-thick observation window with her small hand and rushing into the core test area... The other girls also went crazy, trying to imitate Ophelia and jump down from the observation room, which was more than ten meters high...
Fortunately, the Shadow Guards who had been protecting them knew their duty and caught them in mid-air... Otherwise, these five girls would have fallen to their deaths here today... After all, they were just ordinary people.
Just as Ophelia and the five girls were frantically searching for Zhou Ye's figure in the core experimental area, a figure slowly appeared there, it was Xiaoying, who had just been teleported away by Zhou Ye... As soon as she returned, she joined the women's frantic search...
But no matter how frantically they searched... they couldn't see Zhou Ye's figure here...
"I... I shouldn't have asked Dad to come here..." Ophelia knelt on the ground in the core test area, her face full of despair... Her heart was now filled with self-blame... She blamed herself for asking Zhou Ye to come and check the Tesseract's anomaly... She blamed herself for not staying by Zhou Ye's side... She blamed herself for too much...
And what was Zhou Ye doing at this time? He... was lost...
Looking at the familiar starry sky above his head, Zhou Ye could now basically confirm that he had been teleported by the Tesseract to some location on Earth... But... looking at the personal terminal on his wrist that had no signal... he was speechless... This Nima, was definitely not the Earth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... Could it be that he had been teleported to some parallel universe of the Marvel Universe with an unknown number?
Feeling the Space Stone that was peacefully staying in his Soul Armament... Zhou Ye was speechless. After this guy teleported him over, he obediently ran to his Soul Armament to accompany his brothers and sisters... What should he do now?
However, Zhou Ye didn't care. When in doubt, ask the system, he also had a system...
[Shanshan... can you figure out where I am now?]
[Master, you have been teleported by the Tesseract to another micro-plane. I am collecting information about this plane... Please wait.]
[Uh, that... can you temporarily stop time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I don't want to accidentally miss many things...]
[Of course...]With the voice of the system Shanshan... the time of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was stopped...
Zhou Ye looked at the surrounding environment. This environment wasn't bad... But... There was no one around... No one around... No one around... Important things must be said three times...
"Should I just go back...?" Just as Zhou Ye was about to have Shanshan take him back... Suddenly, the system, Shanshan's voice, appeared directly in his mind. [Master, this is a Bollywood movie plane...]
Chapter 562
[Bollywood movie? What movie? ] Zhou Ye wasn't in a hurry to go back anymore... Bollywood movies? The usual quality of Bollywood movies is garbage, but they have a characteristic that Zhou Ye is very satisfied with... That is, basically none of the heroines are ugly... And their figures are not bad.
[Indian Superman... series? Probably... ] When Shanshan said this, she herself was a little unsure... It wasn't that Shanshan was incompetent, but this plane seemed a bit too chaotic... [It's somewhat like the composite plane you've been to before, Master...]
"...Damn it..." Zhou Ye was speechless when he heard Shanshan's words... These kinds of composite planes were the most disgusting. You simply didn't know how many movies were mixed in. Unless you encountered the main character, you wouldn't know what movies were in there...
But forget it. Zhou Ye looked around. Although the watch basically lost its function after arriving in this plane and not syncing the time, Zhou Ye roughly figured out the approximate time and location by distinguishing the positions of the constellations in the starry sky...
It should be between spring and summer now, and the time... is probably around nine o'clock in the evening...
Just as Zhou Ye calculated the time and was about to prepare to fly up and find a place to settle down temporarily... a dazzling headlight beam came from the end of the road in the distance... In this deserted desert, this beam of light seemed particularly dazzling.
"Ha... I can hitch a ride..." With Zhou Ye's eyesight, he could clearly see that the driver was a female driver. This female driver also looked a bit familiar? Could he be so lucky? Encounter the female lead right away?

Nisha is an Indian-American. Her father works as a senior executive in an American company. She was taken to the United States by her parents when she was very young. The reason she was driving home from school overnight today was because her father called her today and said... he has chosen to retire and wants to return to India...
She was driving back so anxiously because she wanted to persuade her father to let her stay here... After all, no one likes to suddenly leave the environment they are familiar with...
As for danger? Nisha is very confident in her driving skills... Besides, who can hurt her in a speeding car?
However, this section of the interstate highway through the Gobi Desert still put a lot of pressure on her... It was dark all around, and she rarely encountered a few cars along the way. Apart from the music coming from the car stereo and the roar of the engine, she couldn't hear any other noise...
It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid... Although she was very familiar with this road, no matter what, she had taken it countless times when she went home for vacation... But that was during the day. The Gobi Desert during the day has a unique charm, but at night... it's a bit scary.
Just as Nisha was praying that her car wouldn't break down at this time, while madly stepping on the accelerator, trying to drive away from this Gobi area as soon as possible... she felt a golden light flash in front of her eyes, and it seemed that a figure appeared in front of her car...
"Ah!!!!" The sudden appearance of the figure made her scream involuntarily, and she slammed the brakes to the floor...
The strong inertia made her slam into the steering wheel... She should praise American law, getting a driver's license at sixteen... At eighteen, she can be said to be an old driver with two years of driving experience... When encountering this kind of sudden situation, she still remembered to hold the steering wheel tightly, which prevented the car from deviating from the interstate highway and crashing into the Gobi Desert on the side of the road...
"Damn it..." Two minutes later, Nisha finally calmed her pounding heart. She flung open the car door and walked down... For the kind-hearted her, no matter whose fault it was... If she really injured someone in the crash, she would never leave them to die.
But when she got out of her car, she didn't see anyone lying in a pool of blood... There was only the burnt smell produced by the rapid friction of the rubber tires and a long black brake line...
"Could it be that I saw it wrong...?" Nisha rubbed her temples innocently, and glanced into the distance again, unwilling to give up... After confirming that there was no one or anything lying in a pool of blood, she walked back to her car with peace of mind...
After all, it's best not to hit anyone... Nisha sat in the driver's seat and couldn't help but patted her chest, which was enough to make her proud, "I was really scared to— — — — death..."
Nisha's muttering voice suddenly went out of tune...
Because, she found that in her passenger seat, she didn't know when, a man had already sat down... It really scared her to death... Anyone who gets out of the car in the deserted Gobi Desert in the middle of the night and then gets back in the car, only to find that there is actually another person in their car, would be scared to death.
To be honest, Nisha felt that she was about to be scared... um, the reaction that people have when they are extremely frightened, but it can't be said, it will be censored.
"You... you... who are you?" Nisha was so frightened that she spoke her native language... She didn't even speak English, she should have spoken Hindi...
Uh…?" Zhou Ye frowned as he listened… Honestly, although Zhou Ye had learned many languages to prepare for transmigrating, that definitely didn't include the language of the Indians. He simply didn't like Indians… except for the beautiful women, of course… "Um… do you speak English?"
"Yes, yes, I do…" To be honest, Nisha had been scared to death, but… seeing Zhou Ye's face in the dim light, her fear instantly diminished a lot…
After all, this is a world that judges by appearances. If Sadako didn't cover her face with hair and deliberately create a terrifying appearance, who would find her scary just by looking at her face? Similarly… Nisha felt the same way when she saw Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye's handsome face brought Nisha a sense of inexplicable security… Someone so handsome wouldn't be a bad person, right?
If Zhou Ye could read Nisha's brainwaves at this moment, he would probably laugh himself to death… But that's not surprising, who made it so that in movies from any world, the good guys are always handsome and the bad guys are always uglier than the good guys? It's almost become a law that handsome guys = good guys… In short, good looks are justice.
"Where is this?" Zhou Ye asked while continuously applying mental suggestion to Nisha, after all, he wanted to figure out where he was first.
"This is Georgia…" Nisha felt like she couldn't take her eyes off Zhou Ye… This handsome blond boy, so perfect… Yes, perfect. Nisha felt that she couldn't find any other adjectives in her dictionary to describe Zhou Ye…
"Why is it in the US and not in India?" Zhou Ye was a little confused…
"Why would it be in India?" Nisha asked strangely. At this moment, she didn't even realize that the tone she was using to speak to Zhou Ye revealed a sense of familiarity, as if they were two people who had known each other for a long time… Moreover, Nisha… felt that her heart would involuntarily speed up whenever she looked at Zhou Ye, and her cheeks would feel a little hot…
So, although Nisha was asking Zhou Ye a question, her little head couldn't help but lower, she didn't dare to look at Zhou Ye. Every time she saw Zhou Ye, she felt her heart beating so fast it was about to jump out of her throat…
Chapter 563
Looking at Nisha with her head lowered, Zhou Ye couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. It had been a long time since he had used such methods on girls… In Zhou Ye's opinion, cheating like this was a bit disrespectful to the girl… Although many times, his actions couldn't be called respectful… Ahem, don't complain, you lose if you complain…
He looked at the shy Nisha and, unscrupulously, gently lifted her chin with his hand, making her look directly into his eyes. "Why would it be in India? Because I saw an Indian beauty here… How could I not suspect that this is India?"
"Where… where is there…" Nisha didn't feel the slightest revulsion to Zhou Ye's almost flirtatious actions, but instead, Zhou Ye's words 'Indian beauty' made her heart flutter like a deer…
"Tell me your name, beauty…" Zhou Ye's words were almost a command, but Nisha, whose mind had been thrown into chaos by Zhou Ye's mental suggestion, obediently replied: "I… I am Nisha…"
Zhou Ye didn't mind that Nisha only gave her first name, because in India, women are usually only referred to by their first name, because after marriage, they have to take their husband's last name, while it is the opposite for men, they are only referred to by their last name.
"Then, would you be willing to add my last name to the end of your name in the future?" If the previous words were just ordinary flirting, then this sentence was already outright roguery…
Nisha was simply willing with all her heart… But… the last bit of sanity that hadn't been submerged still remembered her family's traditions… "I… I have to go back and ask my dad and mom…"
"It's okay… I'll take care of your parents…" Zhou Ye didn't care so much, today he was inexplicably tricked by the Space Stone, and teleported to this godforsaken world, he had a bellyful of anger.
It wasn't that this world was bad, but Zhou Ye, who was used to having his subordinates do everything, suddenly found himself teleported here alone… It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry…
Of course, he could also go back and bring a group of people over, but… now… he wanted to eat this little rabbit who had delivered herself to his door first… and then consider what to do next…
Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Nisha nodded almost imperceptibly… She had already been controlled by Zhou Ye's psychological suggestion. What bound her was nothing more than the words that her mother had been constantly repeating for more than ten years, fearing that she would be corroded by Western culture and do something that violated family traditions… Now that Zhou Ye said he would take care of her parents, then he would really take care of her parents. She had reached the point of blindly listening to and obeying Zhou Ye.
"Then, let's add some beauty to this beautiful night…" As Zhou Ye whispered, Nisha felt a dizzy spell… Huh, how did she get laid down on the seat?
But, soon she didn't have time to think so much… Because, her mouth had already been blocked by Zhou Ye…
On the interstate highway, a strange scene appeared, a car was actually moving sideways, it swayed from the highway to a hill half a mile away from the highway…
With a scream—a lovely girl fell into Zhou Ye's clutches…
At this moment, in Nisha's home, her father was pacing back and forth anxiously… He had just called his daughter, just wanting to tell her about bringing her back to their motherland… As a result, he didn't expect his daughter to hang up the phone and run away…
When he called again, the person who answered the phone had become his daughter's roommate, who told him that his daughter had already driven home…
Mahata looked at his wife sitting on the sofa, wiping her tears from time to time, and became even more angry, "What are you crying about? Our daughter isn't dead yet, what are you crying about?"
"…" Mahata's words scared his wife so much that she didn't dare to say a word. After all, in India, a woman's position in the family is like livestock… Basically, they can be treated as less than human.
It wasn't until she saw that her husband didn't seem very angry anymore that she asked in a low voice: "Or… should we call the police?"
"Did you think I didn't call the police? Those bastards told me they don't accept cases until someone has been missing for twenty-four hours." Hearing his wife's words, Mahata's anger flared even more. If he hadn't received a superior education, he might have actually hit his wife.
Time passed second by second… Sitting in the living room, the hearts of the couple waiting for their daughter's return grew heavier and heavier. They were almost certain that something had happened to their daughter…
Three hours later—
Just as Mahata couldn't help but want to get up and call the police again… a familiar car sound came from outside… It was his daughter's car, he could recognize it immediately…
"My precious daughter, you're finally back…" Mahata was overjoyed. With an agility that didn't match his slightly obese figure, he darted to the door of his living room… Raising his arms, he planned to hug his returning daughter…
However, the scene before him stunned him…
He saw that his daughter had indeed returned, but… standing beside her was a tall and handsome young man. Even if Mahata disliked Zhou Ye, he had to admit the young man's unparalleled beauty.
"Baby, tell Daddy, who is he?" Mahata looked at Zhou Ye with some vigilance. But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that his daughter was actually being supported by this young man. He quickly went forward. "Baby, are you injured? Is it serious?"
Hearing her father's question, Nisha's small face instantly turned red… Like an ostrich avoiding its natural enemy, she buried her entire head in Zhou Ye's arms…
As someone who had been there, Mahata knew exactly what was going on when he saw his daughter's expression… He was instantly so angry that his hands and feet trembled, but in the end, he couldn't bear to hit his precious daughter… He just vented his anger on his wife. "Damn it, can't you come over and help our daughter?"
Mahata's wife had long noticed the strangeness in her daughter. She hurried forward to help her daughter up… wanting to help her into the room… Some things could only be asked from her daughter's mouth when the men weren't around…
Nisha looked at her man with some worry… She was afraid that her man would be made difficult by her father… "Ye…"
"It's okay, go inside with your mother. Don't worry, your father will agree to our matter…" Zhou Ye smiled and gently kissed Nisha's dimples… He had to say, Zhou Ye loved those dimples.
"Mm…" Out of trust for her man, Nisha nodded obediently and walked towards her bedroom with her mother's support…
Zhou Ye smiled and watched Nisha go upstairs, then leisurely and unceremoniously sat on the sofa. For girls, he could be gentle and considerate, but for men… Hehe… Of course, he wouldn't kill Mahata, after all, he was his woman's father. But that didn't mean he couldn't control him… Mahata better not provoke him… Otherwise, when Zhou Ye got stubborn… generally no one could persuade him, and those who could persuade him were not in this world.
Chapter 564
Mahata looked at the young man sitting unceremoniously on the sofa in his living room, and his anger almost soared to the sky…
You played with my daughter, and now you're acting so arrogant. What do you mean by this?
However, looking at the luxurious clothes Zhou Ye wore in a low-key way, and Zhou Ye's calm and composed attitude, he still tried his best to suppress his anger… No matter what, his daughter had already suffered. Now, the most important thing was to find out where this young man came from, whether he wanted toying with his daughter's feelings or whether he really wanted to marry her.
This was the most crucial point…
"How do you plan to treat my daughter?" Mahata asked directly, opening the door and seeing the mountain: "Could it be that you want to play with her feelings?"
"Of course not…" Zhou Ye replied leisurely: "I will naturally take responsibility for my woman."
"How much dowry do you want?" Mahata's expression instantly improved a lot when he heard Zhou Ye's words. At least, in his opinion, Zhou Ye definitely had an extraordinary background and was more than enough for his daughter… He had already decided that as long as Zhou Ye's asking price wasn't outrageous, he would scrape together his daughter's dowry even if he had to sell everything he had, after all, he only had this one daughter.
"Uh—!" Zhou Ye was stunned… For him, a good young man born in a big foodie nation where the mother-in-law economy was prevalent, it was the first time that someone didn't ask for a betrothal gift but offered a dowry first. This was simply a national good father-in-law… With this, he was too embarrassed to do anything, "Actually, I don't care how much dowry Nisha has…"
"No, it must be… You say a number." Mahata asked relentlessly. You must know that in A San Kingdom, there are not a few people who abuse brides every day because they dislike the small dowry given by the bride's family… He didn't want his precious daughter to be abused by Zhou Ye every day after she married.
"… … … …" I've heard of people forcing a bride price, I've heard of people forcing the man to have a house, but I haven't heard of people forcing a dowry… This really opened Zhou Ye's eyes… I have to say, the A San Kingdom's system is really advanced… Zhou Ye discovered another highlight of A San Kingdom besides beauties, of course, this was just his inner complaint…
Zhou Ye sighed, looked at Mahata who was staring at him waiting for him to give a number and said: "Don't talk about money, money is just a number to me…"
As Zhou Ye spoke, he gently waved his hand… Clang… Gold bars as thick as arms were neatly stacked in front of Mahata. "Do you think I owe Nisha that little dowry?"
Mahata was stunned by the scene in front of him. What he noticed was not the piles of gold bars in front of him, but the inhuman method of creating those piles of gold bars out of thin air…
