Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 139 Daily Life

It's worth noting that Sherlock's modification of Asgard's technologically advanced healing equipment into the Shikai style of Retsu Unohana's Zanpakuto from Bleach was originally to satisfy some of his own perverse tastes.

Is there a more respectable way? Of course there is, but if Sherlock were to tell Pepper what a respectable way was, he could forget about seeing Tony's desperate expression as he was swallowed by the giant fish in front of him.

After only a second of thought, Sherlock put on a somewhat ashamed expression and said to Pepper.

"I'm sorry, Pepper, there's no decent way to do this, and if you say that, Shizuku will be sad too."

As Sherlock spoke, the giant manta ray's one eye miraculously appeared to be teary-eyed, completely unlike its earlier wicked grin when facing Tony.

If Tony weren't here right now, he probably would have jumped up and cursed the giant manta ray in front of him, saying it was definitely her mother's son. Goodness, Sherlock is a green tea bitch, but you, a big fish, are also a green tea bitch.

Seeing that there was still a hint of hesitation on Chili's face, Sherlock thought for a moment before continuing to fuel the fire for her.

"But Pepper, don't worry. Although it may not look very respectable, being swallowed by Ninjazuki is definitely a unique experience. Ninjazuki's teeth and tongue are actually excellent massage equipment, far surpassing any massage techniques you can experience."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Pepper Potts' face showed a hint of embarrassment. She didn't say anything, but simply reached out and ruffled Shizuku's head. Shizuku, like a domesticated puppy, showed an expression of enjoyment.

Only Sherlock could clearly see the resolute look deep in Pepper's eyes.

Of course, Little Chili would definitely have to find a time when no one was around to secretly have her eaten by the fish. Xia Luojing couldn't say much, and could only silently pray for Little Chili's forgiveness in his heart.

On the other hand, after being swallowed by the Flesh Droplet once, Tony stopped hiding in the basement and started actively preparing for Pepper's New Year's Eve party, even beginning to work out.

After all, only by being healthy can one avoid being swallowed by that damned giant manta ray again and again.

Tony was almost traumatized after just one time. Although it felt good, being turned into chewing gum was really disgusting.

After secretly trying it a few times, Little Chili became increasingly satisfied with the meat saliva, and even discovered that the seemingly sticky saliva was actually a super-sized skin care nutrient. It could be said that apart from the somewhat disgusting method, it had no drawbacks.

In this eerie atmosphere, Sherlock quickly brought Zhao Weike's family over, and everyone joyfully held a New Year's Eve party at Tony's mansion.

It's worth mentioning that since Pepper Potts and Tony were the hosts this time, most of the dishes on the table were made by Pepper Potts, while Sherlock's meal was just a side dish.

Although a strong woman like Little Chili has eaten a lot of delicious food, her cooking skills are just so-so, basically the same as most housewives in the US.

Moreover, since it was a family dinner, it wasn't appropriate to hire a chef or anything like that. Therefore, the dishes were closer to the standard cuisine served in American households, which is essentially American white food.

How to put it? This stuff is plentiful and filling, but the presentation makes you feel like you're eating pig swill.

However, the taste wasn't too bad. After all, in Sherlock's words, this was a complete hodgepodge of pre-made dishes, and if the taste wasn't good, pre-made dishes wouldn't survive.

However, in Sherlock and Zhao Weike's family, who were already used to Chinese food, this kind of white food really lacked soul.

Fortunately, there were a few side dishes cooked by Sherlock on the table, along with a large pot of white rice, so they could at least eat this so-called white food as a side dish.

Moreover, gatherings are more about the atmosphere than the food on the table.

Anna, Mindy, and Zhao Weike also visited Tony's studio, and each of them received a custom-made black gun from Tony, so they all got a lot out of it.

After the party, Helen's family returned to their home in New York through the Anywhere Door, while Sherlock stayed with Tony with Doro, although Doro was snatched away by Pepper Potts before Sherlock could hold him for long.

Before heading to Rabbit's place, everyone needed to prepare various documents and visas. Little Chili also needed to adapt to the CEO position in the group as soon as possible and make arrangements for the follow-up matters.

This wasn't a difficult task for Chili Pepper, since Tony, who was once the CEO, usually delegated most of his tasks to her. It just needed time.

Tony also took advantage of this time to set up a ring at home and begin training his close-combat skills.

On the one hand, it was to better fulfill the responsibilities of Iron Man, and on the other hand, it was to train his body. Tony's driver, who also served as his bodyguard, became Tony's sparring partner.

As for Sherlock, aside from lying on Flesh Droplet looking at his alchemy book, all Sherlock did during this time was watch Happy beat Tony in the ring whenever he had nothing to do.

As for why Sherlock doesn't train, well, Sherlock is a fighter trained by Zhao Weike. Even without using his abilities, he can take down Happy and Tony, two weaklings, in a one-on-two fight.

After the three sparred once, Tony never bothered Sherlock again in a fight.

As the departure date drew closer, Pepper finally resolved all the issues and brought her new assistant to meet Tony.

Natalie Rushman.

This is Black Widow's alias. Sherlock saw through her identity when she walked in, but he didn't point it out. He even looked at her with some surprise.

It has to be said that compared to the movie, the real-life Scarlett Johansson is undoubtedly much younger, at the peak of her beauty. Even Sherlock Holmes would have to give her a thumbs up for her stunning figure, let alone Tony Stark, the former sex fiend.

Sure enough, the moment Tony saw Black Widow, his penchant for showing off in front of beautiful women was on full display. Under Pepper's almost glaring eye-roll, Tony decided to pull off a big show.

Unlike in the movie, where Tony had Happy spar with Black Widow, Tony, having been tormented by Sherlock and Happy, was undoubtedly arrogant and actually prepared to spar with Black Widow himself.

As for the result, well, Tony, with screams and protests, was swallowed whole by Sherlock's fleshy slugs and turned into chewing gum.

As for Black Widow, she naturally noticed Sherlock immediately, and even the thing under Sherlock that looked like a mattress and resembled an enlarged version of a manta ray. However, Black Widow had always thought that this thing was just a super-sized doll, but she never expected that this thing was actually alive!

The reactions of everyone present puzzled Black Widow. Apart from Pepper Potts, who turned and left, only Happy, who looked pale, remained. After all, Happy had also been swallowed by this thing.

Sherlock had a wicked grin on his face, and even had the mind to pat the remaining big fish. He also made sarcastic remarks to Tony, who was being chewed in the fish's mouth. There were all sorts of expressions on the scene, but no one seemed worried about Tony being swallowed.
