Ow—"
The bird-shaped demon cried out in pain, turning its head viciously, wanting to see which ignorant fellow dared to make a move in front of His Majesty.
However, upon seeing that it was Hulk, its angry gaze instantly cleared, and it silently turned back. He was too strong; it couldn't win.
"Hulk, gift."
Hulk grinned, handing over a handful of feathers he held.
"…Thank you, Hulk Uncle."
Damian also silently accepted them, his small hand tightly gripping the feathers, a complex expression on his face.
Qinuo also felt a bit helpless.
"This isn't an uncle. Hulk's age should be similar to yours. You should call him older brother."
Bronski also nodded in agreement.
"Hulk… older brother?"
Damian's mouth dropped open as he looked at Hulk's massive body in disbelief, wondering, 'What does he eat to grow so big?'
Hulk, hearing Damian's address, happily patted his chest, making a "thump, thump" sound.
Just then, Xi also walked over, holding a fist-sized gem in her hand.
"This is Aunt Xi's gift."
Xi said with a smile, handing the gem to Damian.
Damian looked at the aunt who was only a hand-span taller than him.
"Thank you, Aunt Xi."
Damian said sweetly, taking the gem with both hands and carefully holding it in his palm.
Xi nodded contentedly, reaching out and gently stroking Damian's head.
After Qinuo gave Xi and the others some important instructions, he flashed and returned to the Marvel Universe.
Qinuo appeared in a manor. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was met with a rich green color. The walls were covered with various forms of vines, and colorful plants and delicate flowers intertwined. Qinuo could even see a fruit tree laden with ripe fruit growing on the ceiling.
If he hadn't seen the familiar dining table from before, he would have truly thought he had come to the wrong place.
"Godfather, are we going to live in a forest from now on?" Damian asked curiously, holding a pile of gifts.
Her small body was so covered by the gifts that only her eyes were visible, and her voice came muffled from behind the gifts.
"No."
"Pamela, I'm back."
Qinuo called out; this was clearly Pamela's handiwork.
As if hearing Qinuo's words, the surrounding plants seemed to sense something and began to slowly disappear.
The vines receded like a tide, and the flowers instantly withered and faded. In a blink of an eye, the scene that had resembled a forest gradually returned to the manor's original appearance.
Damian poked his head out from the pile of gifts, looking at this magical change in surprise, his small face full of disbelief.
Pamela appeared at the doorway in a green dress, like a spring fairy. Her face was radiant with joy and excitement, and she rushed over impatiently.
"My dear, I missed you so much."
Pamela hugged Qinuo tightly, as if wanting to merge herself into his body.
"Me too, Pamela. Speaking of which, why did you turn the manor into that?"
"The plants told me danger was approaching, so I summoned some plants to protect the manor."
"Danger? This time I was negligent, I apologize."
A cold light flashed in Qinuo's eyes. He had already shown his strength, yet some people were still dishonest.
"It's okay, my dear, this little one."
Pamela noticed the small person next to him, her eyes lit up, and she pushed Qinuo away, rushing impatiently to Damian.
"Is this Venom Sister's promised child? Born so quickly, her eyes are like mine, her hair is like my dear's…"
Pamela said excitedly, a brilliant smile blossoming on her face like a flower.
Damian was held by Pamela, feeling the warmth of her embrace, and seeing the undisguised affection in her eyes, he did not push her away.
If Aunt Venom looked at her as if she were a toy, the aunt in front of her was full of doting affection, as if she were the most precious treasure in the World.
Qinuo looked at Pamela's appearance, feeling a little pained in his heart. He hadn't known Pamela's desire for a child was so strong.
Venom directly ran out and said, "Pamela, this is Batman's child. We haven't started making our child yet."
Pamela looked at Qinuo in confusion, her eyes showing bewilderment: "My dear, why did you bring Batman's child here?"
"Batman's World is not safe. She was entrusted to me. I am her Godfather now," Qinuo quickly explained.
Pamela's gaze dimmed slightly, that momentary disappointment clearly visible, but then she still looked at Damian gently.
"Child, what is your name?" Pamela's voice carried endless kindness.
"Damian Wayne," Damian replied obediently, influenced by Pamela's gentleness, his expression also relaxed a lot.
Pamela said, "My name is Pamela. You can also call me Mom Pamela." Her voice was as soft as the wind, and her eyes were full of anticipation, that gaze seemingly able to melt all ice.
Damian looked at the expectation in Pamela's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mom Pamela."
"Such a good child." Pamela's face blossomed into a radiant smile like a spring flower. She leaned down and pressed her red lips to Damian's face, leaving a light kiss.
Venom also came closer at this time, eagerly saying, "Damian, call me Mom Venom."
"Mom Venom," Damian called out obediently.
Qinuo, seeing their warm and harmonious way of getting along, couldn't help but smile knowingly and walked out of the room.
Just then, Frank and Banner also slowly appeared.
Frank walked with steady, powerful steps, his face still maintaining that serious and stern expression, but a faint, almost imperceptible softness flickered in his eyes.
"Welcome back, Young Master."
"Young Master, you're finally back! I'm exhausted. This Frank guy is inhuman; he only sleeps three hours a day and drags me along."
Banner's face was bitter, with visible dark circles under his eyes. Ever since Frank dragged him away, he had been dealing with all sorts of things, not even getting enough sleep.
He wanted to ask Frank for a break, but seeing how much more dedicated Frank was than him, he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth.
Every day he teetered on the brink of sudden death. Without Hulk, he was just an ordinary person, not a super-soldier like Frank who could stay awake for five days and five nights. (Comic setting)
Qinuo looked at Banner's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Banner, you've worked hard. Get some good rest first. I've found a helper this time."
Banner and Frank both breathed a sigh of relief.
One was Banner, whose energy was that of an ordinary person without Hulk.
The other had no problem with killing, arson, or training soldiers, but making him run a company, conduct interviews, and deal with complex data reports was truly difficult for him, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged Dr. Banner along.
"Young Master, who is it?"
Banner was already impatient to see the other person.
Qinuo raised his hand and gently waved it in the air, and a portal instantly appeared before them.
"Lei Xiaogu, come out."
Light flickered within the portal, and a figure gradually became clear.
Lei Xiaogu stepped out from the dazzling light with steady strides. His expression was serious and respectful, and his gaze was fixed on Qinuo with determination.
"Young Master."
