This guy has absolutely no self-awareness.

Xiao Huang glanced back at him sideways, then gracefully turned and slipped into the sun-drenched balcony.

"At a time like this, how can we not celebrate with a refreshing drink?"

hope Nian had a sudden thought: the mistress of the house and the maid were not home, so he could sneak a drink.

Thinking of this, Xinian walked towards the freezer at home, but before he reached the freezer, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, like the sound of countless iron filings being sprinkled on the floor.

"Someone's come in!" At the same time, Guan Luo's mental warning suddenly sounded: "Wait, who is it...?"

Startled, hope Nian turned around and saw a hole in the center of his living room, with countless sparks spinning around the edge. From the familiar teleportation portal, a petite figure emerged from the other side, her long crimson hair and the hem of her red dress fluttering in the wind.

Xinian subconsciously opened his arms and embraced the lithe body that resembled Lorna. The magical portal behind her began to shrink and dissipate after passing through it.

"A local space-type spell on Earth? That's incredible; it's extremely rare even in the entire universe."

On the balcony, the jar-like creature, awakened from its revival in the glass jar, opened its eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

This family is getting more and more terrifying.

"Master, where have you been these past two days?!" Wanda rushed into the boy's arms, hugging him tightly and looking up at him with a worried expression. "You didn't even tell me!"

Despite knowing that this violated the rules for housekeepers, Wanda couldn't help but do it.

As for Xinian...

Imagine a lovely, soft, and adorable girl suddenly appearing in your arms, looking at you with a mixture of concern and a touch of coquetry—who could resist that?

"Okay, I'll definitely tell you next time I go out."

hope Nian smiled gently, his palm naturally landing on the girl's rosy hair, feeling its silky smoothness and wonderful texture.

Wanda blushed slightly, but then gently squinted her eyes, her tiny eyelashes trembling as she thoroughly enjoyed being patted on the head.

This is completely different from that of the leader.

hope Nian suddenly realized that if he touched that person's head, the other person would immediately get angry and might even turn around and rub his head while pressing him down.

When Wanda's head is being stroked, she feels incredibly relaxed, her body going limp as if she's surrendering herself to him.

"As for what I did these past two days, well... I'll tell you when the time is right."

As Xinian spoke, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Could he really tell Wanda about the things he had done in the past two days?

This is open to discussion.

"By the way, you learned some spells from the Ancient One?" hope Nian asked in surprise, looking at the spot where the portal had disappeared. He seemed a little slow to react.

Didn't the Ancient One say it would take at least three days to learn the magic portal?

It hasn't even been two days yet.

What Xinian didn't know was that it actually took less than a day, since Wanda had already learned it the night before.

of course.

The Ancient One didn't lie to him; she simply included the time Wanda needed to spend on housework and schoolwork.

“Yes, I’ve learned it for you, Master. Shall we take a look?” Wanda blinked and pulled Xinian’s little hand to the sofa in the living room.

"What do you mean by 'helped me learn'...?"

Xinian felt that these words were ambiguous, and who knows what the Ancient One said when she was teaching Wanda, with a hidden agenda!

Let Xinian sit down on the sofa in the first seat of the audience.

The young maid Wanda stood in front, taking a deep breath. Her petite and youthful body was dressed in a pink dress, and her fair and shapely legs were wrapped in semi-transparent white silk. As her delicate and slender fingers moved in front of her, a golden hand seal resembling a tiny round shield appeared in her palm. The hand seal contained peculiar patterns and rotated mysteriously on its own.

"This is the Ring of Raghadore, a magical shield primarily used for defense. I haven't learned any other spells for offense yet." Little Wanda lowered her head in shame.

"Really? Not bad. Keep it up." hope Nian's eye twitched. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. According to Gu Yi, he would need a hundred years to learn just the magic portal!

One hundred years, one hundred years!

"Oh, right, I also learned this spell."

Holding a golden wheel like a little witch, Wanda suddenly closed her eyes, and then her body went limp and collapsed into Xinian's arms.

"This is……"

Xinian opened his eyes wide and vaguely saw a hazy, ethereal figure similar to Wanda slowly rising from the unresponsive, crimson-clad girl's body!

Chapter 142, Getting Dirty, S.H.I.E.L.D.

inside the house.

Xinian embraced Wanda's body, which seemed to be in a deep sleep. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the girl, who had lost her soul, seemed to have become even lighter. Her lack of breath and weak heartbeat made her look just like a real doll. The afterglow of the setting sun on the balcony made her skin appear even more translucent and luminous.

After all, Scarlet Girl herself is very pretty and cute, with a soft and beautiful face that is fair and delicate. At this moment, she looks more like Sleeping Beauty.

She wore a gorgeous and elegant little dress, with her soft, cute legs wrapped in semi-transparent white silk draped over Xinian's legs, slightly raised, and her small feet, clad in black boots, dangling in mid-air. Her striking and stunning crimson hair, with an astonishingly thick volume, cascaded down from her lower back, blooming like vibrant flower petals on Xinian's body and the sofa where she was sitting.

hope Nian was both surprised and curious, and couldn't help but free one hand to gently pinch the girl's cheek.

Wanda wasn't chubby like a baby, but she still had soft flesh on her smooth face, and her doll-like face immediately deformed slightly when pinched by fingers.

"Ah! Young master, please don't do that to my body!"

The formless, ethereal girl floating in front of the sofa cried out in embarrassment and panic.

"Oh, sorry, my hand... I couldn't help it."

hope Nian awkwardly withdrew his hand; he was genuinely just curious.

However, pinching the body owner's face in front of the body owner's soul is indeed a very impolite act.

Thankfully, it was one of our own maids.

"You can pinch other places, but please don't pinch my face. It's a bit embarrassing to look at."

Wanda's spirit hesitated for a moment, then whispered a reminder: "And the feet... stockings and boots, I forgot to take them off when I came back, they're a bit dirty, don't touch them..."

Xinian's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew Wanda didn't mean it that way, it was hard not to think of other possibilities from what she said.

This is too much to bear.

"When I pinched your face like that just now, could your soul feel it?" hope Nian took a deep breath and returned to the original topic.

"I can't feel it."

Wanda's soul shook its little head and whispered, "The Ancient One explained it. When the soul leaves the body, it generally cannot feel physical blows to the body, unless it is a magical or energy-related blow, in which case the soul that has left the body may perceive it or even forcibly pull it back."

"Wouldn't this spell be very dangerous?"

hope Nian frowned slightly. If someone caught him while his soul was out of his body, even the most powerful mage could kill his physical body with a single strike.

However, since it is magic, it must have something unique about it.

For example, permanently separating from the original decaying body and existing eternally as a special kind of soul?

With a thought, hope Nian continued, "What can you do in this soul state?"

"It can pass through any physical form and ordinary barriers, and it can also come into contact with intangible things and special energy substances. Of course, the Ancient One said that this carries extremely high risks, and you should never try it alone." Wanda's soul eyes flickered with a faint light as she pondered, "Personally, I think the most important thing is that in the soul state detached from the body, one can perceive the dimensional space of the multiverse more concretely, thereby drawing more power and accelerating the understanding and study of profound magic..."

Clearly, Wanda is a natural genius when it comes to magic!

Xinian was a little confused and his attention gradually became less focused. Looking at Wanda's eloquent and intelligent spirit in front of him, for a moment he mistook her for a doll in his arms. His large hand, which was on her legs covered in semi-transparent white stockings, slid down her delicate and slender legs.

“Currently, my soul can only leave my body briefly, and I must return to it in about half an hour…” Wanda’s soul continued speaking, but her voice grew weaker and weaker. Finally, she covered her face and said, “Everyone says—don’t touch it, it’s dirty!”

"How could that be?"

With a gentle smile, Xi helped Wanda remove her black boots with one hand. As the boots fell to the floor one after the other, her two small and delicate feet, wrapped in white silk, gently touched the sofa, and her tiny, peanut-sized toes stretched out playfully and happily.

Because it was near the balcony, the setting sun cast a beam of light into the living room, making those delicate feet sparkle. The white silk and soles seemed so clear and bright that the tiny veins inside were visible.

It was not dirty at all.

Wanda's spirit, floating intermittently in front of him, covered her eyes tightly with her hands, looking like someone trying to cover their ears while stealing a bell.

Physical attacks cannot be perceived by the soul, right...?

A thought flashed through hope Nian's mind, but he quickly took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, "Alright, come back."

Hearing his words.

Wanda's soul floated forward and sank, disappearing into the body in his arms.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she opened her bright, jewel-like eyes, and two blushes quickly rose on her face.

Having your boots removed by your master is so shameful, it's an absolute disgrace to maids!

She quickly jumped down from Xinian's arms, picked up her boots from the floor, and ran away.

Watching the blushing figure flee from the sofa like a startled rabbit, hope Nian couldn't help but smile, suddenly recalling something Lorna had told him last night.

"I have tracked down the mysterious force that kidnapped Pete during the Battle of New York."

"What power?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lorna's emerald green eyes flashed coldly as she said, "I'm certain that it was someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. who kidnapped Pete. However, this force has the support of the highest levels of the government, and its power and influence are even greater than that of the military. My subordinates alone cannot investigate further."

"Leave it to me, I'll find a way to find clues."

"That's what hope Nian said in a deep voice."

……

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

hope, sitting on the sofa at home, muttered to herself.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard this organization's name. During the previous Battle of New York, the agents who sealed off and dealt with the post-battle area were calling themselves S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Although there is no information about S.H.I.E.L.D. on the internet or in newspapers, it is clear that it is not an ordinary organization and may have a strong connection with the Avengers headquarters in New York.

Regardless.

Now that it has been confirmed that Pete was kidnapped by S.H.I.E.L.D. forces, Xi Nian needs to find a way to investigate S.H.I.E.L.D.

"How should we proceed?" hope Nian pondered for a moment. He had basically come into contact with all the members of the Avengers, more than once or twice, but each time in different ways.

It can be said that Xinian knows most of the Avengers superheroes, but he is not familiar with any of them.
