Good afternoon, Pamela, has Qinuo returned?"
Tony, with Pepper, pushed open the door and asked subconsciously. He had been asking this question every day for the past few days, and today, he hadn't held out much hope.
Qinuo's voice came, "Tony, long time no see, have you eaten?"
"Qinuo, you're back!"
Tony looked surprised in the direction of the voice and quickly walked to the dining table.
"Yes, I just got back. Come eat with me," Qinuo said with a smile.
"Excuse us, Mr. Qinuo." Pepper nodded politely and sat next to Pamela. The two had become good friends over the past few days.
"Alright, I rarely eat Chinese food."
Tony was not polite and casually found a seat. Pamela smiled slightly and controlled the plants to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Chinese food really should be eaten with white rice.
"It tastes good. It seems I should invent a robot that makes Chinese food."
Tony said while eating.
"When you develop it, give me one too. I really need a robot that can cook."
Qinuo thought of the chefs in Hell.
If it weren't for the high wages, they would have gone on strike. The demons in Hell were all gluttons.
"Small problem," Tony confidently replied, continuing to enjoy the delicious Chinese food. The restaurant was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Pepper looked at the mountain of chocolate piled in Venom's bowl and asked softly,
"Pamela, is it really okay for this lady to eat so much chocolate?"
"It's fine. Venom Sister is not an Earthling. Her main food is chocolate," Pamela explained with a smile.
"alien?!" Pepper was startled at first, then she remembered that Mr. Qinuo was also a demon king, and her expression gradually became calm.
Venom also handed over a piece of chocolate.
"Try it. The taste of this chocolate is the best."
"Thank you." Pepper did not refuse her kindness and took the chocolate into her mouth.
"Haven't you been resting well lately?" Venom noticed that Pepper looked a little haggard and asked with concern.
"Yes, Obadiah's Death, the explosion at the arsenal, and Tony becoming Iron Man—things have been exploding with problems," Pepper said with a headache. Although she came every day these past few days, she only stayed for half an hour or so, or just dropped off some gifts and left.
It seemed she wouldn't have time to deal with affairs today, and she would have to stay up all night tomorrow. Thinking of this, she glared resentfully at Tony.
Tony, on the side, smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said,
"I've been upgrading the Iron Armor during this time, and I've pushed all the company's matters to you. You've worked hard, Pepper."
"Then let me help you with your condition," Venom said.
"...Thank you for the trouble." Pepper looked at Tony, and after getting his affirmative glance, she agreed.
Venom grabbed Pepper's hand, and a black substance silently entered her body. After a while, Venom released her hand and said, "Done."
Pepper instantly felt her originally tired body regain vitality.
"Wow! Pepper, your face!" Tony suddenly exclaimed from the side, his eyes wide.
"What's wrong with my face?" Pepper touched her face in confusion, only feeling how smooth and tender it was.
Pamela controlled the plants to hand over a mirror.
"Oh my god!" Pepper looked at the person in the mirror with disbelief. Although she had always used expensive skincare and cosmetics for maintenance, her skin had become somewhat dull with age.
Now her skin had returned to its youthful state, without a single wrinkle, fair and smooth, radiating a charming glow.
"Thank you very much, Venom," Pepper said with great emotion, tears sparkling in her eyes.
"Small problem," Venom said casually, imitating Tony's tone from earlier.
"Pfft, hahahaha." Pepper was amused, and her laughter was clear and pleasant. The relationship between her and Venom also became familiar at this moment.
The three women finished their meal and took Damian to the sofa to chat.
"Miss Venom's ability is incredible no matter how many times I see it," Tony sighed, his eyes filled with admiration.
"That's right, my wife is the best," Qinuo said with a proud look.
"Pepper is the best," Tony retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
The two men argued endlessly about whose wife was better.
..."Thank you very much, my friend. I don't know how to thank you," Tony looked at Qinuo sincerely, his expression serious.
"Whether it's the life-saving grace from before, or facilitating the relationship between me and Pepper, I owe you so much."
"How about I give you another ten percent of the shares?" Tony gritted his teeth, "This is the limit I can give without affecting the group's situation."
"No, I'm planning to start my own company recently. If you really want to thank me, how about helping me with something?" Qinuo said with a smile.
"Don't make it something small, or I'll think you're insulting me." Tony picked up a glass of Water and took a sip.
"Transforming Hell, do you think that's big enough?"
"Pfft, cough, cough, cough! Transforming Hell? What do you want to transform it into? An Iron City?" Tony was choked by the Water and coughed violently, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"Natural beauty."
"How's the progress?"
"It hasn't started yet. No choice, I'm short on money and people right now. I'm currently dealing with the surrounding lava."
..."I need to see the Hell you're talking about first." Tony felt he had boasted a bit too much. Dealing with lava? What a harsh environment.
"No problem."
The two planned to go to Hell.
"Venom, Pamela, Damian, Tony and I are going to Hell to do something," Qinuo told his family.
"I want to go too," Pamela immediately said. Having just reunited with her beloved, she couldn't bear to be separated so soon.
"Pepper, do you want to come and see?" Venom invited Pepper.
"Alright." Pepper agreed without hesitation. She was also very curious about what the legendary Hell was like.
"Pepper, my dear, maybe there's a flaming throne specially prepared for you in Hell, haha," Tony said with a wink and an exaggerated smile on his face.
"Hmph, you always tease me. If there really is such a thing, I think it's prepared for you." Pepper playfully rolled her eyes at Tony.
"Maybe the demons in Hell will treat you as a distinguished guest and offer a pile of burning gems," Tony continued to use his imagination, describing it vividly.
"Then you'll be the demons' number one target for pranks. Let's see if you can still be so glib," Pepper said, feigning anger, with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Oh, don't be angry, my dear. Maybe there's a mysterious spring in Hell that can keep you forever young," Tony quickly coaxed.
Pepper said speechlessly, "How could there be such a thing?"
"There really is," Qinuo said seriously.
"What?!" Tony and Pepper said in shock, in unison.
"The potion I'm going to sell next is that. I'll send some to you then," Qinuo replied with a smile.
"Good brother, Qinuo. Oh, by the way, does that potion have that kind of effect?" Tony said with a lewd expression, winking.
"Don't worry, it will."
