The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 111, 115, 116: Interdimensional Invasion? The Invisible Woman and Selena's Victory Celebration
Sa!
With a whistling sound as the blade cleaved through the air, Selena slew a werewolf with a single strike. Looking around, she could no longer see a single werewolf standing.

Looking at Iriana pulling the Soul Sword from the corpse of a werewolf, and then at Li Xingzhou standing before the flesh altar, holding a blood-red banner, Selena flicked the blood off her sword, walked to Li Xingzhou's side, and asked:

"it's over?"

"It should be over." Li Xingzhou nodded, saying with some regret, "The mastermind behind it all still hasn't come forward..."

"That's because they're afraid of me." Iliana walked over, sword in hand, and said nonchalantly, "The youngest and most talented Lord of Hell is right here. Which hellish fellow would dare to be so blind as to jump out and court death?"

Li Xingzhou didn't contradict him, but nodded with a smile:

"Maybe."

As he spoke, he stared thoughtfully at the altar of flesh and blood, and said:

"Although the mastermind hasn't come forward, I have a general idea of ​​its identity."

"Can you guess who that guy is?"

Iliana asked in surprise:
"Even I couldn't have guessed it... There are no statues or emblems on this altar, how did you figure it out?"

"Race, and weapons."

Li Xingzhou said slowly:
"Werewolves are such dark and savage creatures that even the lords of hell despise them and refuse to accept their souls. There aren't many evil gods willing to accept werewolves... plus the weapon Lucien uses..."

He snapped his fingers, and the bloated, mountain-like Butcher Mystic swung his arm, sending out a long hook chain that hooked onto the three-headed flail that Lucien had used. With a huff and puff, he dragged over the ridiculously large flail, the handle of which was as thick as a beer bottle and absolutely impossible for a normal person to use.

Li Xingzhou looked down at the three-headed flail and asked:
"Liana, have you noticed anything?"

"Almost no one knows how to use this kind of strange weapon. In fact, none of the hell lords I know know how to use it."

Iliana poked the basketball-sized flail with her Soul Sword and exclaimed in surprise:
"What kind of metal is this? How can it be so strong?"

Have you ever heard of 'refined gold'?

"Adamantite? In fantasy stories, that magical metal that's heavier than gold and naturally possesses extreme strength and armor-piercing capabilities?"

Li Xingzhou nodded slightly:
“Look at the silvery-blue metallic luster on the hammerhead. Doesn’t it look like the luster of adamantium described in fantasy stories? In addition, this three-headed flail is not enchanted with any magic, yet it can withstand the extreme heat on Johnny’s body that can melt bullets. After hitting Johnny, it did not show any signs of melting. Moreover, it can shatter Susan’s energy field in one blow. So I suspect that a lot of adamantium was incorporated into the hammerhead of this three-headed flail during its forging.”

This three-headed flail is undoubtedly another great find.

Li Xingzhou could melt down those three meteor hammer heads and reforge them into a real flying sword, or forge a suitable divine weapon.

Alternatively, refined gold can be extracted and fused with Adamantium alloy to see if an alloy with superior properties can be obtained.

In short, the unknown entity behind the werewolf has given him several great gifts—a pocket dimension, adamantite weapons, and those mutated werewolves.

Iliana asked in confusion:
"But isn't adamantite something that only exists in fantasy stories?"

Li Xingzhou said leisurely:

"Asgard, Odin, the king of the gods, Reltor, and even the hell and demons that you are very familiar with, were originally just existences in mythology, but we all know that these actually exist in reality."

This example was excellent, leaving Iriana speechless and unsure how to refute it.

Li Xingzhou continued:

"Of course, some of the life forms and substances in fantasy myths are indeed purely fictional and do not exist in this universe. But... not long ago, Liana, you told me that several hell dimensions experienced unusual earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, causing many hell demons to escape their imprisonment and sneak into the human world... You also seemed to have said that some hell lords deduced that this might be an unknown extradimensional dimension colliding with the hell dimension, causing spacetime tremors?"

Iliana nodded slowly:

"Yes, that's true. The Hell Lords even speculated that it might be a dimension similar in nature to Hell, which is why it was attracted to the Hell Dimension and collided with it first. However, all of this is still just speculation; the Hell Lords have not found any unknown extradimensional dimensions."

Li Xingzhou smiled:
Even so, it's still a possibility, isn't it?

With Iliana's intelligence, she naturally understood Li Xingzhou's meaning:
"So you're saying that the evil god worshipped and sacrificed by the werewolves is that evil god from an unknown other dimension? And that the werewolf leader Lucien's weapon was also given to him by that evil god?"

"Indeed. An evil power that is similar to the power of hell; an evil god who does not despise werewolves and is willing to grant them power; and a special weapon that Lucien has never existed before, which is suspected to be forged from 'adamantite'... All of the above can only be explained by the existence of an unknown extradimensional dimension."

Iliana frowned, one arm crossed over her chest, supporting her heavy bosom, the other hand supporting her chin, and she whispered:
"Logically, it seems to make sense, but since the extradimensional dimension has collided with the hell dimension, and the evil gods there have even collided with werewolves, why haven't the hell lords been able to find that dimension?"

"Who knows? Maybe that other dimension is currently lacking in power and needs time to secretly accumulate strength, so it was hidden by some powerful being using special methods to prevent it from being exposed too early?" Li Xingzhou said seriously, "In any case, Liana, you have to be careful. The Hell Dimension may face an unprecedented invasion."

Iliana found it strange:
"Judging from your tone, it seems you've guessed the origin of that other dimension? You've even guessed some of the identity of the evil god behind the werewolves?"

Li Xingzhou nodded:

"I do have some ideas, but I can't be sure yet... In any case, you must strengthen your defenses in Hell territory and be on guard."

"Alright. But where did you learn all this? The lords of hell know nothing about that unknown extradimensional dimension."

Li Xingzhou said, half-jokingly:

"I can communicate with the universe and receive messages from beyond the universe during meditation..."

"It's weird to believe you!"

Iliana rolled her eyes, didn't press for details, looked around, and asked:

What are your plans for this place?

"This pocket dimension is very useful to me."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:
“I want to turn it into a real ‘pocket.’ So, could you please help me sever the connection between this pocket dimension and the evil god?”

This mini pocket dimension most likely comes from the evil god behind the werewolf, and there must be some kind of connection between them. If this connection is not severed, then even if Li Xingzhou refines the entrance, it is equivalent to carrying a pocket that could pop out of the evil god at any time, which is similar to carrying a huge bomb that will explode at any time.

However, Li Xingzhou's current cultivation level is still somewhat insufficient to sever the connection between the evil god and this pocket dimension, so he can only rely on Iriana—her soul sword is extremely powerful, capable of destroying spells, portals, summoning circles, and even certain ethereal or conceptual entities, making it perfect for severing the connection.

"Turning a mini pocket dimension into a real 'pocket'? The kind of pocket you carry around with you to put things in?"

Iliana said with great interest:
"No problem, I can help you, but you have to teach me how to do it. I also want to make a portable pocket."

Li Xingzhou said with a smile:
"Of course, I can teach you."

In fact, Iriana's Hell's Border can be used as her storage space.

Anyway, she can open a portal anytime, anywhere, and jump back and forth between hell and the mortal world.

Of course, the Hell Border is essentially a "public area," and anyone other than Hell demons can also enter the Hell Border if they find the right way.

Therefore, even if personal belongings are placed in her hellish palace, there is still a risk of theft. A "space pocket" that belongs entirely to her is more private and secure.

Having received Li Xingzhou's promise, Iliana jumped onto the flesh altar with great enthusiasm, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, pointed the sword downwards, raised the Soul Sword high, and loudly chanted the obscure and difficult incantation.

As the incantation grew louder and gradually overlapped and echoed, Iriana's straight golden hair moved without wind, fluttering wildly. Brilliant blue light also shone from her eyes, and the Soul Sword shone brightly, transforming into a dazzling greatsword of light.

Li Xingzhou and Selena stepped back a distance, silently watching Iriana cast her spell.

At that moment, Susan also helped Johnny, who was grimacing and clutching his chest, over.

The siblings carefully avoided the strange, grotesque, and terrifying demons, and came to Li Xingzhou's side. Li Xingzhou glanced at Johnny and asked with a smile:

"well enough?"

Johnny replied:

"It's alright. You only broke a few ribs, but thanks to your healing potion, the bones seem to have healed."

Looking again at the surrounding demons, he said with some awe:
"Dude, where did you get these monsters from? From hell?"

"That's it."

The true forms of the Mystic Demons are all heinous criminals who deserve to go to hell, so it's not entirely unreasonable to call them hellish demons.

"They won't hurt us, will they?"

Li Xingzhou said in a very serious tone:

"Don't worry, don't be fooled by their fierce appearance. They are actually all partners of justice and are absolutely under my control. They will not harm the innocent."

"That's good." Johnny was finally relieved.

Susan stared curiously at Iriana on the altar of flesh and asked:

What is Liana doing?

Li Xingzhou explained with a smile:

"At my request, she is preparing to help me sever the connection between this pocket dimension and the evil god."

“Liana looks so cool right now,” Susan exclaimed, her eyes filled with amazement. “She looks like a queen.”

Li Xingzhou chuckled: "You're right, she really is the queen of the border of hell."

As they were talking, Iriana was nearing the end of her spell when she suddenly knelt down on one knee and plunged the raised Soul Sword into the flesh altar.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, shaking the entire cavern. The flesh altar was covered in cracks, each crack emitting a blinding blue light before collapsing and turning to ashes.

As the altar of flesh and blood completely collapsed and turned to ashes, an angry roar faintly emanated from the ashes, echoing in everyone's ears.

But this impotent rage didn't frighten anyone; it only earned me a disdainful sneer from Iriana:

"You didn't dare to stand up even when all your followers were wiped out, so what's the use of roaring now? You're nothing but a rat in the gutter."

After saying that, he swung his sword again, sweeping away all the embers of the altar and completely severing the connection between this mini pocket dimension and its original owner.

"Alright, this pocket dimension is now ownerless."

Iliana wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile:

"Now you can cast spells at will and turn it into a 'spatial pocket'."

Li Xingzhou sensed for a moment with his divine sense and then laughed:

"Not bad, it has indeed become 'clean'. Next, I need to refine its entrance into a portable spatial entrance. As for the internal environment, it will take some time to gradually modify it..."

With that, he turned and headed back towards the tunnel he had come from.

Susan asked:

"What should we do with these werewolf corpses? Aren't we going to clean them up?"

Li Xingzhou said in a light tone:
"No rush. We can clean it up slowly later..."

After refining the spatial entrance and turning this pocket dimension into a mustard seed space, he could easily clear away all the clutter inside with a thought.

Once the refining is successful, he can go directly to Rex Prison and throw the werewolf corpse into the magic array beneath the prison.

These hundreds of werewolf corpses, especially Lucien's skeleton and the remains of the red-haired werewolves, are all excellent materials for crafting the Bone Mighty Demon.

The five returned to the entrance tunnel. Li Xingzhou borrowed Iriana's Soul Sword and carved array patterns in the tunnel. After the array patterns were completed, he took out a large number of crystals containing hellish elements and placed them on various nodes of the array patterns.

After arranging everything, he led everyone out of the tunnel and back to the present world. Standing in front of the double wooden door, he formed a hand seal and began to cast a spell.

With the energy source of hellish elements driving the refining array, Li Xingzhou did not consume much spiritual power and quickly refined the pocket dimension entrance. The wooden door and entrance tunnel disappeared, and the original place returned to solid underground rock. In Li Xingzhou's hand, there was a simple ring with wood texture and a small black crystal inlaid in it.

Li Xingzhou slipped the ring onto his little finger, and with a thought, he had a god-like perspective over the entire cave. At the same time, he could take out any item from inside or put any item from the real world inside with a single thought.

He could also bring people in, and even banish enemies he touched to be trapped inside, as long as the enemy didn't have the ability to destroy dimensions, they wouldn't be able to escape—of course, this was somewhat unwise. Once the enemy was inside, they would definitely cause a lot of damage. If they polluted the environment or destroyed his future collection of items, it would be a huge loss.

"It's finished already?" Iriana fluttered her long eyelashes and asked curiously, "The spatial pocket is done?"

“It’s done.” Li Xingzhou handed the ring to Iliana: “Use your mental power to sense it carefully, and you can see the space inside.”

Iliana took the ring, and as instructed, felt its contents. She also saw what was inside from a godlike perspective, and exclaimed in amazement:
"This spatial pocket is really amazing! It's the space of three standard stadiums, with the highest point of the dome reaching over thirty meters... It can hold a massive amount of items!"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "Indeed. With this, traveling will be much more convenient in the future."

Iliana returned the ring to Li Xingzhou, looking at him intently: "Teach me!"

"I'll teach you when I get back from Japan."

"No, we'll start teaching tonight."

"I have something to do tonight..."

Iliana glanced at Selena and Susan, instantly understanding Li Xingzhou's unspoken meaning, and gave a soft snort with a smirk:
"Alright, we'll wait for you to come back from Japan..."

Li Xingzhou extended an invitation:
"Why don't you come along? Anyway, I'll need you to take me to Japan after dawn."

"Get lost!" Iliana rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I'm still a girl!"

Does that mean I can just become a woman in the future?

Li Xingzhou smiled and nodded:
"Okay. Can you take us home now?"

Iliana rolled her eyes at him again, then opened the portal. A few seconds later.

The rooftop of the Baxter Building.

Johnny the Human Torch stood alone on the rooftop, looking at the closing portal behind him, and shrugged speechlessly.

"I know, I'm just a henchman. The post-battle celebrations have nothing to do with me... Speaking of which, even if you don't introduce me to a cute girl, you should at least buy me a drink, right? That's so disloyal..."

Muttering to himself, he walked towards the rooftop door, eager to share tonight's battle with Ben.

As for Reed, that guy only likes doing research and has no interest in fighting and killing...

the other side.

Li Xingzhou's home, second-floor bedroom.

Iliana threw out a sentence:
"Keep it down, don't disturb my drinking."

After saying that, he rushed out of the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and ran off to find some alcohol, leaving Li Xingzhou, Selena, and Susan behind.

Susan, who had previously said she "wouldn't mind being with Selena and Iliana" when she was feeling emotional, became somewhat timid when the time came to actually see what would happen.

Her eyes darted around, feigning composure as she glanced left and right, but dared not meet Li Xingzhou's gaze, much less look at Selena. Her face flushed, she whispered:
"How about I go over and have a drink with Iliana? You guys go first..."

Li Xingzhou smiled and stepped forward to put his arm around Susan's slender waist. "Iliana is a Russian girl with an unlimited capacity for alcohol. You probably can't keep up with her drinking. Why don't you take a shower with us first..."

As he spoke, he unzipped her battle suit, revealing her large, white, and tender breasts.

Susan was startled, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Selena, only to see that she had already casually taken off her trench coat and started taking off her tight-fitting battle suit...

Selena has come to regard Li Xingzhou as the master of her life and soul. Not to mention serving him with Susan, even if he were to conquer hell or fight for heaven, she would follow him and dedicate everything to him.

Whether influenced by Selena's openness or unable to resist Li Xingzhou's gentle caresses, Susan nestled softly in Li Xingzhou's arms, silently letting him remove her battle armor. Afterward, she kissed him and went into the bathroom.

Upon entering the bathroom and seeing Selena adjusting the water temperature, Susan couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Selena, your skin is so fair, and the texture is as smooth as silk... What skincare products do you use?"

Selena smiled slightly:
"I'm a vampire, and I haven't been in the sun for hundreds of years, so my skin naturally turned out like this."

As he spoke, he approached Susan, wrapped one arm around her round, pert buttocks, and grasped one of her breasts with the other. He gently kissed her lips and chuckled, "Susan has a great figure too..."

Selena's gentle touch made Susan a little shy. Just as she was about to dodge, Li Xingzhou hugged her from behind.

He slipped his hands under her ribs, one gently stroking her flat, soft belly, the other grasping her other breast. He lightly kissed her ear and chuckled softly:
"Relax... Today is your first time participating in such a brutal and intense battle. You need to fully enjoy the celebration of victory, and also release some stress and mental pressure..."

Soon, under Li Xingzhou and Selena's manipulation, Susan became disoriented, unaware of her surroundings. Occasionally, a slightly clearer thought would flash through her mind: Selena's skin felt so smooth and cool, like she'd just had an ice pack...

...

The revelry lasted all night until dawn.

Li Xingzhou dressed with renewed vigor, glanced back at the bed, and saw Susan and Selena sleeping in each other's arms, their snowy buttocks and jade thighs intertwined, their pink arms and beautiful legs entwined, truly a beautiful sight to behold.

He had just given Susan a light kiss on the cheek, and was about to kiss Selena when Selena suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful, icy blue eyes gazing at her with deep affection:
"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'm going to Japan. I'll be back in a couple of days."

"Then I'll go back to the mountain manor?"

The wolf pack has been wiped out, and Selena has nothing to do for the time being.

"Wait for me at Rex Prison. While you're there, train the Death Walkers. You can teach them the swordsmanship and lightness skills I taught you. They were badly beaten by Yuriko last time."

“Okay.” Selena smiled and agreed, then reached out and hugged the back of Li Xingzhou’s head, tilting her long, slender neck back to give him a deep kiss. “After I take Susan home, I’ll go to Prison Island.”

"When you're free, you can also ask Susan to go shopping together. You two worked together very well last night, didn't you?"

Selena smiled sweetly, kissed him gently again, sat up to straighten his collar, and patted him lightly on the chest.
"Go."

Li Xingzhou waved to her, got up, and left the bedroom.

Upon reaching the small hall on the second floor, I saw Iriana reclining on the sofa, her two long, snow-white legs propped up on the coffee table, fast asleep. Even in her sleep, she was still clutching an empty wine bottle in her left hand, and several other empty bottles lay scattered on the floor.

"Drinking so much again..."

Li Xingzhou shook his head helplessly, made a hand seal, and sent out a cool stream of air to wash away the smell of alcohol from her body, making her and her clothes feel as fresh as if she had just taken a bath. Then he bent down, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered:

"Liana, it's already dawn, it's time to wake up."

After being called several times, Iliana finally opened her eyes groggily.

She blinked, and after clearly seeing Li Xingzhou in front of her, she suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his face close to hers, nose to nose, and glared at him, saying in a tone of embarrassment and annoyance:
"You bastard, I told you to keep it down, but you still made such a racket last night, I couldn't even have a peaceful time to drink..."

Li Xingzhou blinked and teased:

"So you did some crafts last night?"

"Screw you!"

Iliana blushed slightly, pushed him away, sat up and straightened her clothes. Suddenly, she realized that the zipper of her denim shorts was still open, and her cheeks flushed. Even her earlobes and neck turned slightly red.

But she still forced herself to act nonchalant and quickly zipped up her jacket...

Li Xingzhou noticed this detail and found it amusing, but he didn't continue teasing her.

Although he had pinched and eaten her, Iriana hadn't truly become a woman yet, and her skin was still a little thin. If he teased her any more, she would probably get embarrassed and run away, and he wouldn't send him to Japan.

Iliana straightened her clothes, raised her hand and grasped Li Xingzhou's hand, puffing out her pink cheeks and saying in an annoyed tone:

"Next time you come back, take the plane yourself. Don't ask me to pick you up again. As the Queen of Hell, I'm very busy!"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "No problem. I'll fly back myself, no need to trouble you."

Iliana gave a soft hum and opened the portal.

...

Tokyo, Yashida Estate.

Upon arriving in this land, Wolverine took a bath, shaved, and changed into a yukata with the help of the maids. Led by Yukio, the mutant female warrior who had brought him to Japan, he went to meet Ichiro Yashida, who was said to be on the verge of death.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw a tall, handsome foreign youth with black hair and black eyes walking out, accompanied by a slender, tall Japanese girl in a black kimono.

Yukio quickly stopped and bowed to the Japanese girl in greeting:
"Miss."

The Japanese girl smiled sweetly:
"Yukio, you're back!"

He then looked at Wolverine behind Yukio and nodded and smiled amicably.
"Hello, Mr. Wolverine, I am Mariko Yashida, the granddaughter of Ichiro Yashida."

The foreign youth smiled at Wolverine in a friendly manner and said:

"Hello, Logan, I am Leonard Victor."

"Hello." Wolverine nodded to Mariko, then looked at Li Xingzhou with a puzzled expression and asked, "Excuse me, do we know each other?"

"This should be our first meeting."

Li Xingzhou smiled as he looked at Wolverine, who, though not old, had eyes full of vicissitudes:
"But I've known you for a long time. I read a lot of your comics when I was a kid, so I can call myself your fan."

In this world, the X-Men comics are planned, created, and published by the X-Men team, and each issue sells quite well. Many children and even adults cherish the X-Men and have a good impression of them because of this.

Professor X's strategy was clearly designed to improve the image of mutants, and the revenue from comic book sales is also a major source of income for the X-Men team.

“Comics?” Wolverine shook his head. “Kid, you have to know that most of the stories in comics are fictional. I haven’t done as many heroic deeds as you see in comics. On the contrary, most of the time I’m just a bloodthirsty thug and a drunkard.”

Given Wolverine's actual age, even a centenarian would be addressed as "child" by him.

However, he obviously did not expect that the body of this young and handsome man housed the primordial spirit of an ancient demon.

Of course, Li Xingzhou wouldn't feel displeased by this form of address.

He sees himself as a youth and hopes that no matter how many tens of thousands or millions of years pass, he will always remain a youth full of vigorous curiosity about everything new and exciting.

Therefore, he maintained a friendly smile towards Wolverine and politely said:
"Although the comic book stories and heroic feats are mostly fictional, they brought me a lot of joy when I was a child. For this, I sincerely thank the X-Men and hope to become friends with you."

He paused, then gestured for Wolverine to proceed:

"Alright, let's end the chat here. I won't disturb you on your way to see Mr. Shilang. I just met with him, and the old man really doesn't have much time left. He must be eager to see you, his savior and old friend."

After saying that, he nodded to Wolverine and Yukio, and left with Mariko.

After leaving the courtyard where Yashida Ichiro lived, Mariko took Li Xingzhou's arm and said with a hint of envy:
"Wolverine is said to be almost two hundred years old, but he looks like he's only in his early thirties... This superpower of eternal youth is truly enviable."

Why should I envy him?

Li Xingzhou looked at the setting sun on the horizon and said leisurely:

"Have you forgotten what I said? As long as you're with me, you don't have to do anything to stay young forever. Even when your lifespan comes to an end, your body will still maintain a youthful appearance."

Mariko nestled against him and sweetly replied, "Yes."

Unlike her grandfather, who sought immortality, Mariko never desired to live forever.

Although she was not a true samurai and did not adhere to samurai traditions, she inevitably retained the unique national character of Japan.

Just as many Japanese samurai believed that life should be as brilliant as cherry blossoms, and that as long as it is brilliant enough, it is not a pity if it is short, Mariko also felt that dying in the arms of the man she loved in the prime of her life was a good ending.

It's better than being dumped by a man after he gets tired of you, right?

While Li Xingzhou could help Mariko maintain her youthful appearance, he had no intention of extending her lifespan.

Over nine lifetimes and ten thousand years, he has had countless lovers, most of whom were cultivators. Where are they now?
Having experienced countless separations and deaths, and having personally buried or even killed so many beautiful women, Li Xingzhou was no longer saddened by the passing of his beloved.

The road to immortality is long, and how many people will be able to accompany him on his journey?

To live life to the fullest and to remember loved ones when they pass away is enough.

This is not the ruthlessness of a demon.

This is simply an inevitable part of the path to immortality.

...

night.

Hot spring bath.

Li Xingzhou sat comfortably in the hot spring, his head resting on the chest of the Death Woman Yuriko, his legs on Mariko's thighs, and his right arm held in Guoguo's arms, enjoying the service of the three of them.

After some practice, Guoguo has become somewhat accustomed to it. When the pigeon and Li Xingzhou's arms rub against each other, although she still blushes a little, she can still resist the strange feeling in her body and focus on massaging him.

Just as he was comfortably enjoying himself, a maidservant hurried in with small, quick steps, knelt by the hot spring, and said in a mournful voice:

"Young Miss, the head of the family has... become a god!"

Mariko was stunned. She looked up at Li Xingzhou. Although she knew that her grandfather might pass away at any time and was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel sad and bewildered when she heard the news.

"Don't panic."

Li Xingzhou spoke casually, raising his hand to gently lift Mariko's chin, and said leisurely:
"With me here, there won't be any trouble. Prepare for the funeral and then take over as head of the family."

"Yes." Mariko pursed her lips, took a deep breath, suppressed the fear and sorrow in her heart, got up and left the hot spring. Just as she was being helped by a maid to clean her body, another maid came in carrying a complete set of formal mourning clothes that had been prepared in advance.

Li Xingzhou also got up and left the hot spring, getting dressed with the help of Baihezi and Guoguo.

He knew, of course, that Ichiro Yashida was faking his death to lull Wolverine into a false sense of security and to steal his immortality and healing abilities.

Wolverine, however, lost Mariko's help.

But it doesn't matter.

With Li Xingzhou around, Wolverine will not be disturbed in any way.

finish dressing.

Li Xingzhou gave the following instructions to the deceased woman and Guoguo:

“You will assist Mariko in preparing for her funeral. If any member of the Yashida family dares to disobey Mariko, you know what to do.”

"Yes." The two respectfully accepted the order, and Guoguo asked curiously, "Boss, what about you? Aren't you going to help Mariko with the funeral preparations?"

"I'm just a guest now."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
"Of course, even as a guest, I should do something to ensure the funeral proceeds smoothly, given the Yashida family's hospitality..."
