American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 22 Helpful

"No! Please don't call the police!" Aunt Mei refused without hesitation; she didn't want Peter to go to jail.

"What about emergency services?" Xiao Xian wasn't surprised at all; it would be strange if Aunt Mei were willing to let Peter go to jail. "Shall I call an ambulance for you?"

"No, that's too expensive. Could you please take me to the hospital?" Aunt Mei also shook her head and refused. An ambulance was something she couldn't afford.

"Um, this is a bit of a hassle, but okay, let me see. The nearest hospital is about a 15-minute drive away? But it's rush hour now, I don't know if there will be traffic." Xiao Xian took out his phone and searched, then asked Aunt Mei, "Can you hold on? Don't pull down my pants on the way, it would be embarrassing if we caused a chain-reaction car accident."

"Hmm, I don't know. I feel like I can't take it anymore. I feel so uncomfortable. I can't stand it." Aunt Mei splashed water on her face again, exhaled a breath of hot air, and looked at Xiao Xian with dazed eyes.

"Take your hand away first! No wonder you can't hold on." With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Xian removed Aunt Mei's hand. Is this never going to end?

"Xiao Xian? Can you help me? I feel so bad~ please~" Aunt Mei leaned on Xiao Xian and breathed hot air onto his face.

He splashed a bucket of cold water on Aunt Mei's face, which brought her back to her senses a little. Xiao Xian took out his phone and started recording. He was willing to help, but he was careful not to get himself arrested.

Are you sure? Say it again.

"Phew~" Aunt Mei, who had regained her senses a little, glanced at the camera and felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed. But she really couldn't hold back anymore, especially when she smelled Xiao Xian's masculine scent and hormones. She felt like she was being burned alive.

"Can you help me? I need your help. I can't take it anymore. Don't worry, I won't sue you." After saying this to the camera, Aunt Mei hugged Xiao Xian.

"Alright, I've always been happy to help others." Helping others is a wonderful virtue of superheroes, and Xiao Xian, who couldn't bear to see Aunt Mei suffer, decided to lend her a hand.

On the other side, Peter watched the surveillance video of Xiao Xian and Aunt Mei, his fingers clenching and unclenching. No matter what, as long as he could get Tomie, it would all be worth it.

Tomie pressed herself against the wall with a smile and a satisfied expression, trying to hear the sounds from next door. Although she couldn't hear them very clearly, she could still faintly hear Aunt Mei's voice from time to time.

Just as Tomie was complaining that she couldn't hear clearly, a Twitter user sent her a link. When Tomie clicked on it, she saw that it was the surveillance video from the next room.

Around 1 a.m., Xiao Xian picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, glanced at Aunt Mei who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, shrugged, got dressed, and left Peter's house.

That bastard Peter not only drugged Aunt Mei, but he also drugged her with something extraordinary. From 5 p.m. until 1 a.m., Aunt Mei kept demanding it. If Xiao Xian hadn't had such strong regenerative abilities, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

After stretching his muscles a bit, Xiao Xian was not tired at all; on the contrary, he was full of energy. To be honest, Tomie's super regenerative ability was quite enjoyable.

"You're back!" When Xiao Xian opened the door, Tomie was standing there, very considerately handing him goji berry tea and a dry towel. "I've already prepared hot water, would you like to take a shower?"

"I've also prepared a sumptuous dinner. You can eat it after you take a shower." Tomie looked at Xiao Xian with a happy smile, as if she were looking at a priceless treasure.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first." Actually, Xiao Xian didn't sweat much. His regenerative abilities allowed him to easily handle this level of physical exertion. But Aunt Mei had sweated quite a bit, and besides, it wasn't just sweat. It was definitely better for her to take a shower.

"Want me to help you scrub your back?" Tomie asked eagerly.

"No need." Shaking his head, Xiao Xian refused without hesitation. His current cooldown of his Sage Time was so short that it was almost non-existent, but he couldn't withstand Tomie coming over to cause trouble.

Of course, if you see Tomie's true form, you can easily withstand it, but then your sanity won't be very good.

"Is this guy really that strong?" In the hotel, Peter stared at the computer screen, muttering to himself in disbelief. He wasn't dealing with ordinary medicine; he had stolen a special drug from the home of a pharmaceutical company executive.

This drug is usually used by this executive when playing large-scale multiplayer games. Theoretically, one person could not withstand it. Peter's goal was to make Aunt Mei completely drain Xiao Xian so that he would have no energy left to defile Miss Tomie.

Who would have thought that Xiao Xian was not drained dry, but instead, Aunt Mei, who was on drugs, collapsed. Could this be the reason why Tomie recognized Xiao Xian?

Looking down at himself, Peter felt that he was still far from being as strong as Xiao Xian. He had indeed become much stronger after becoming Spider-Man, but not as ridiculously so as Xiao Xian.

However, that's not all. Peter saved the video on his hard drive, which is evidence of Xiao Xian's infidelity! Although Peter has sent a link to Tomie, it's unknown whether Tomie has seen it. Judging from the fact that Tomie didn't go to Peter's house to catch them in the act, she probably hasn't seen it.

"Hmph~ Wait till I show this video to Miss Tomie tomorrow, and you'll pay the price for today's pleasure!" Peter clenched his fist. "Aunt May, I won't let your sacrifice go to waste. I will definitely win over Miss Tomie!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xiao Xian, who was hanging himself from the ceiling of his room using his suction ability to read posts about the self-cultivation of superheroes, received a message from Aunt Mei.

"Are you awake? I want to talk to you about what happened yesterday."

"I'm awake, go ahead and say it," Xiao Xian replied while reading the post.

"I hope you can forget about yesterday, just pretend it never happened." On the other side of the wall, Aunt Mei leaned against the bed and typed, "Just treat it as a dream. Of course, don't worry, I won't ask you to take responsibility or anything, and I certainly won't ruin your relationship with your girlfriend."

"You didn't say that when you asked me to speed things up and do it again yesterday. Now that you don't need my help, you just say it was all a dream~ Ha, women, they start something and then abandon it." Xiao Xian's lips curled up when he heard this. Thinking of Aunt Mei's appearance during the day, he sent a message as if it were a joke.

"Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will find out? Your girlfriend is so beautiful, and you did this. Don't you feel guilty?" Aunt Mei said in shock.

"Don't feel guilty. I was just trying to help you. Besides, who told you I have a girlfriend?"

"???" Aunt Mei sent a long string of question marks, and a while later she sent another message, "Aren't you living together?"

"We're just roommates. She's pursuing me, but I haven't agreed to it," Xiao Xian said truthfully, although he didn't intend to talk to Aunt Mei about it either.

"??? ...

This time, Aunt Mei sent a long string of question marks. Tomie, such a stunning beauty, is pursuing Xiao Xian? And Xiao Xian hasn't agreed yet? Putting everything else aside, just based on Xiao Xian's unwavering and enthusiastic help to her today, Aunt Mei finds it hard to believe that Xiao Xian would live with such a beautiful woman like Tomie, who secretly loves him, and do nothing.
