Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life...

Sherlock's final line, "If you were on the battlefield, you'd be begging Flesh Droplet to swallow you," was enough to make Black Widow take this giant manta ray, capable of automatically finding and treating the wounded, extremely seriously.

Moreover, Scarlett Johansson may not be without her own thoughts as well.

It's important to know that the thing Scarlett Johansson least wants to talk about is her memories of the Red House, where she forever lost her right to be a mother.

Could this giant manta ray in front of her help her regain the right to be a mother?

Unbeknownst to Black Widow, something called hope had taken root and sprouted in her heart like a seed.

However, it is obvious that given Scarlett Johansson's current status, it is not appropriate for her to reveal anything. She can only temporarily suppress her thoughts about the giant manta ray and try her best to play the role of her current assistant, Natalie Rushman.

Of course, Black Widow still reported to Eggman. It would be a lie to say that Eggman wasn't envious of Sherlock's alchemical items, but he also knew Sherlock's aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D., so he could only let Black Widow continue her undercover work.

To Black Widow's surprise, Sherlock, who should have already known her identity, did not reveal it to Tony, although he still called her Natasha all the time.

In this eerie atmosphere, it was finally time to head to Rabbit's place for Tony's scheduled F1 match.

Sherlock and Doro were arguably the two most excited people on the plane. For Doro, this was a journey full of unknowns. Ever since returning from Asgard, Doro had never been averse to a great adventure.

Sherlock, on the other hand, was simply curious. You have to understand that the Marvel universe, to put it bluntly, is almost entirely dominated by American propaganda films, with very little mention of China. To say that Sherlock wasn't curious would be a lie.

Of course, aside from Sherlock and Dorothy, the most excited person on the entire plane was probably Black Widow.

Black Widow had naturally read about Doro, the little pink-haired bun created by Sherlock, from the information available, but this was her first time actually seeing him.

After joining Stark Industries as Pepper Potts' assistant, Black Widow developed an unusual fondness for Doro, as Doro's cuteness genuinely evoked her maternal instincts.

However, at that time, Doro was mostly being held in Pepper's arms.

Now, on the plane, because Pepper needed to discuss things with Tony and the others, Doro finally landed in her arms.

Scarlett Johansson vividly demonstrated what it means to cherish someone so much that you'd be afraid to drop them or melt them in your mouth. Her doting affection was so intense that even Sherlock felt a little uncomfortable watching her.

Even the nearly 24-hour flight couldn't make Black Widow put down Doro; the super agent had completely transformed into a super healer.

Sherlock strongly suspects that Doro is a specialized weapon against Black Widow, capable of instantly shattering her fighting spirit and making her addicted to Doro, just like Odin and Frigga were.

Sherlock found it strange; he hadn't given this little gadget any charm when he created it.

As the plane landed, Sherlock put aside his jumbled thoughts and followed Tony out of the cabin.

Tony's visit to China wasn't just to watch the F1 race; there were many collaborations to be made. Even without any collaborations, Tony's status alone was enough for China to take the group seriously.

Sherlock had expected someone to greet him, but the moment he stepped out of the cabin and saw the person greeting him, his brain shrunk for a second.

The person at the front of the welcoming party had a compassionate expression, wore a white suit, and held a coffee cup with a green straw in it.

If this is considered normal, then the large halo behind this person's head is clearly abnormal!

The two people standing on either side of this person are also hardly normal.

The one on the left is clearly a man, dressed in sharp trousers and leather shoes, paired with a white shirt, exuding a strong, unapproachable aura.

What Sherlock couldn't understand was why this person had such a huge dragon head on his head.

It's a real dragon head! The kind with deer antlers, horse eyes, rabbit ears, and a cow's head! And it's a white dragon!

The woman on the right has short, pure white hair and wears a sharp women's suit, exuding a strong business aura.

The premise is that you have to ignore the fox ears on the top of this lady's head and the nine pure white tails behind her.

No, is that right?

A huge question mark appeared in Sherlock's little head. Had he somehow wandered into the wrong movie set? Weren't these September, Ao Lie, and Da Shi?

However, to Sherlock's surprise, neither Tony, Pepper, nor even Black Widow noticed anything unusual about the three people in front of him. Only Sherlock and Doro, who was being held by Sherlock, stared at each other in disbelief at this surreal scene.

What the hell is this Iron Man and Non-Human Collaboration? Is this even reasonable?

No, that's not the point. The point is that there really is a Heavenly Court!

No, that's not the point. The point is, with these big shots around, what's the point of the Ancient One protecting Earth? Even if Thanos came with the Infinity Gauntlet and the six Infinity Stones, he'd still have to take a huge beating from these big shots, right?

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was puzzled, Sherlock was bewildered.

Looking at the great man before him, Sherlock even felt as if his head had been gouged out and whipped.

This damn Marvel universe is finally racing headlong in a direction I can't even understand.

We haven't even learned how the little man in the flask can replace truth and become omniscient and omnipotent on our side yet, and you're telling me that true gods are everywhere on the other side of the rabbit? What the hell is this? Just wash up and go to sleep.

The Great Master, who was walking in front, seemed to notice Sherlock, who was following behind everyone with a look of existential doubt. He walked up to Sherlock without making a sound, gently patted Sherlock's shoulder, and then quietly said to Sherlock.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; you are attached to appearances."

Hearing the Buddhist words spoken by the Bodhisattva, Sherlock was even more bewildered. He looked at the Bodhisattva standing in front of him with a compassionate expression, somewhat incredulous, and said with some uncertainty.

"Great Master?"

Hearing Sherlock reveal his identity directly, the Grand Master didn't say anything, but smiled even more and gently patted Sherlock's head before continuing to speak to him.

"Those who are lost should remember to do good deeds and not worry about the future; all their thoughts and desires will be answered."

Upon hearing the words of the Great Master, Sherlock's courage grew instantly. He even felt as if he had suddenly seen his maternal family. A sense of grievance welled up in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be strong and forced a smile.

"May I have your autograph, Master? And Master, I really want to taste the coffee in your cup."

Chapter 141 The Rabbit's Quite Complicated Situation (Part 1)

The Great Master paid no heed to Sherlock's somewhat presumptuous words, treating him merely as a mischievous monkey. Like a kind and amiable elder, he gently tapped Sherlock's head with his finger.

Then he turned and left Sherlock's side to continue his work.

Sherlock completely forgot about F1 and other things because of the appearance of Da Shi, Jiu Yue and Ao Lie. He followed Jiu Yue and the others around every day and became quite familiar with them.

They became so familiar with each other that even Tony, who had been busy negotiating with Pepper in the early stages, was somewhat surprised.

Even though Sherlock is a 'foreigner' just like himself, he can eat and drink with the rabbits and even act more like a local than the reception staff.

Over the past few days, Sherlock has roughly figured out what's going on with the rabbits.

Well, the situation on the rabbit's side is quite complicated.

First of all, it's certain that Thanos was lucky not to land on the rabbit's side. Otherwise, if he had actually landed on the rabbit's side, he would probably have faced several major battles.

Because the Heavenly Court truly exists, and those immortals and Buddhas live in seclusion on this land of the rabbit.

The reason why these overpowered beings don't appear in the Marvel universe can actually be attributed to one person: Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng.

That enchanting ancestor transformed his own national destiny and imperial aura into a dragon vein, protecting the rabbit side for generations.

It's like forcibly setting up a barrier similar to a 'small world' on the rabbit's side, ensuring that even if the entire Western population is wiped out, as long as the Earth isn't destroyed, the rabbit side will remain safe and sound.

The most incredible thing is that the range of this barrier can be adjusted in real time according to the rabbit's territory!

The reason why powerful figures like the Great Master never appeared in the West was actually due to the barrier.

On the rabbit side, those celestial beings are called 'immortals', such as Da Shi and Ao Lie. On the other hand, nine-tailed foxes like Jiu Yue are classified as 'spirits' on the rabbit side.

The barrier exerted a strong restraint on 'deities', and the higher the official rank, the greater the restraint.

Beings like the Great Master can't even leave the Rabbit's borders, while 'minor gods' like Ao Lie can go out and see the world. However, even if they go out, their abilities will be suppressed.

On the contrary, 'spirits' like September are completely unaffected by it, and can come and go freely, and even cause trouble overseas.

Of course, there are exceptions. If Earth really faces a crisis that could destroy it, then the barrier will open, allowing powerful figures to step in and save the planet.

In other words, this barrier is a double-edged sword. While it restricts the top combat power of the Rabbit side, it also protects the Rabbit side from external influences.

To put it bluntly, unless Thanos wished for the destruction of Earth when he snapped his fingers, that snap that could wipe out half of all life in the universe wouldn't actually affect the rabbits at all.

Bigwigs like Dashi have lived on this land of rabbits for nearly a thousand years and have become accustomed to their current life without feeling any discomfort. They have even become guides in some official areas.

That's why the Great Master appeared in the reception staff; after all, the Great Master truly has a prestigious status.

On the contrary, Ao Lie and Jiu Yue, well, although they didn't say it explicitly, Sherlock could still tell that their appearance was purely for the sake of him, who had mastered extraordinary powers.

As for Tony, sorry, Tony can only be considered a product of folk science, and according to regulations, he is not under the management of September and Ao Lie.

Of course, Sherlock wasn't against it either, and he really let loose with September and Ao Lie around the rabbit's side.

First, he pestered the Bodhisattva to get her autograph, and then he also managed to get a few drops of the nectar from the Bodhisattva's coffee cup (jade bottle). The price he paid was that Ao Lie transformed into a white dragon horse and could not turn back.

Even so, Sherlock still managed to get seafood out of Ao Lie's mouth! That's pretty outrageous.

Then Sherlock pestered September to take him to see Nezha, the Great Sage, and Yang Jian, the three traitors of the Heavenly Court.

Sherlock originally thought he would see the three characters from "Non-Human Beings," but when he actually saw his three childhood idols, he realized that the situation on the rabbit's side was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Because the Nezha Sherlock saw wasn't the Nezha from "Non-Human Beings," but the Nezha from "The Legend of Luo Xiaohei." The Erlang Shen he saw turned into the image of Jiao Enjun, while the Great Sage turned back into the trendy Great Sage from "Non-Human Beings."

Well, to put it simply, seeing Nezha, who's practically a professional esports player, drinking coffee at 'Erlang Coffee,' a café filled with girls obsessed with Yang Jian's handsome looks, and taking a photo with the Monkey King, who's already a national idol, is already surreal enough.

What made Sherlock feel even more surreal was that he actually found the so-called Love Apartment in Shanghai. Sherlock even checked and found that there was actually a professor named Hu Yifei at Erdan University.

If these were merely appetizers, then the fact that the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is named Zhang Zhiwei, and his closed-door disciple is named Zhang Lingyu, truly made Sherlock somewhat uneasy.

So these people are always dreaming of reaching the heavens, only to find out that the Heavenly Court is right beside them? I wonder what they'll think if they find out.

Sherlock even seriously suspected that the so-called Jia Shen Rebellion might have been caused by Wu Gensheng knowing that the gods in Heaven were living right next to him.

You know what, given that Quanxing was supposed to be all about having fun, it might actually be true!

Of course, if these things only made Sherlock somewhat sympathetic to the complexities of the rabbit's situation, then what Sherlock discovered later made him unable to hold back any longer.

Damn it, Doro actually has an absolutely huge following among the Chinese!

Even September and her friends are extremely fond of Doro, the IP that Xiao Rizi has been developing. However, what they did not expect was that Doro, whom they thought was a virtual idol, is actually a real 'idol'.

In the words of September's good friend, the rich girl Xiaoyu, it felt like the absurdity of seeing Luo Tianyi running up to her and acting cute.

Sherlock could only roll his eyes inwardly at this, since the sense of absurdity had been constant since he landed.

What made Sherlock even more nervous was that there were actually several absolute big shots and true gods in Doro's fan group, such as Nuwa and Mazu!

Seeing the genuine affection these two big shots showed when they saw Doro, Sherlock felt like crying. If these two wanted to take custody of Doro, Sherlock really wouldn't dare to refuse.

Of course, what gave Sherlock a bigger headache, or rather, the biggest problem facing September and the others, was how to get the goddess Nuwa to stop using clay to create Doro!

Chapter 142 The Rabbit's Quite Complicated Situation (Part 2)

For a whole week, Tony and Pepper were busy negotiating a collaboration with the Rabbit, while Sherlock completely let loose.

Not to mention Doro who was with Sherlock, even Sherlock Tony and Pepper hadn't seen each other at all during those seven days.

Sherlock spent his days following September around, busy with his so-called pilgrimage to holy sites. He even went so far as to visit apartments 3601 and 3602 of Love Apartment, bringing gifts that included the high-end seafood that Ao Lie was eating.

In the evenings, he would either drag Jiu Yue and Ao Lie out for barbecue or hot pot. Most importantly, Sherlock always liked to take seafood out of Ao Lie's mouth and eat it.

In September, a perfectly healthy nine-tailed fox almost developed gout because of Sherlock.

However, Ao Lie was overjoyed that Sherlock loved seafood and often invited him to a seafood feast. However, there were some things that even Sherlock could only politely decline, since the things in the deep sea were still somewhat exotic to him.

As for the nectar that he had obtained from the Great Master, Sherlock, under the incredulous gazes of September and Aolie, used a frying pan to spread it into a miniature image of light and hung it behind Doro's head.

The Bodhisattva didn't say anything about this, but instead gave Doro a set of robes. However, Sherlock didn't quite like the way Doro looked wearing the robes and with a large halo.

Well, looking at Doro like this, Sherlock always has the urge to kneel down and offer three sticks of incense.

Of course, Sherlock also gained a lot, especially one day when he and September accidentally stumbled into a Chinese medicine shop, wanting to prepare some plum juice to brew for themselves when they returned to the United States. However, they inadvertently saw a child in a wide Taoist robe preparing medicine and making elixirs in the back.

It wasn't until the three approached that Ao Lie recognized who was in front of him.

Lao Tzu!

They held this big shot Sherlock in extremely high esteem, after all, any one of the things he used was a top-notch treasure.

Who would have thought that Laozi's waistband was the Immortal Binding Rope, and that the nose ring used for herding cattle was the Vajra Bracelet?

To Sherlock's surprise, Lao Jun warmly welcomed him and his companions. Despite appearing as a child in "energy-saving mode," Lao Jun's skills showed no signs of diminishing and he even gave Sherlock a few pointers.

These few words were a revelation to Sherlock, making many of his alchemical problems instantly clear.

Especially when he left, Laozi gave Sherlock an unnamed ancient book. But this unnamed ancient book somehow managed to add a category called alchemy to Sherlock's cheat-like alchemy book.

This surprised and delighted Sherlock, who then solemnly bowed to Laozi. Laozi accepted the bow with a smile and even gave Sherlock a plum juice that he had personally prepared.

Although the ingredients are just those used in ordinary plum juice, this is made by Laozi himself, and even Jiuyue and Aolie are very envious.

In the end, the two gluttonous boys and the one gluttonous girl managed to brew a pot of sour plum soup in the dead of winter and drank it to their hearts' content. And you know what? It tasted absolutely delicious.

Of course, Sherlock didn't keep anything to himself. Unlike in the United States, there were so many powerful figures in China that Sherlock's alchemy skills didn't seem so precious, and he didn't care about them as much.

Therefore, Sherlock was exceptionally generous, gifting September a fully automatic tail dryer that could dry September's nine four-dimensional tails in a very short time.
