The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 100, When the Invisible Woman Falls into the Claws of Evil

"Johnny, that guy, actually abandoned my sister and ran away. He's so unreliable."

After Johnny left, Susan complained, but her slightly flushed cheeks and flickering eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Li Xingzhou was also very satisfied with Johnny's tact and understanding, and raised his glass to Susan:
“Johnny is very energetic, and I like him a lot. I am an only child and have no brothers or sisters. I envy you for having such a brother.”

Susan chuckled, raised her glass and lightly clinked it against hers, teasingly saying:
"As long as you can stand him, I don't mind if you treat him like a younger brother..."

After saying that, she felt her words sounded a bit ambiguous, as if she were subtly confessing her feelings to him. Her cheeks immediately flushed slightly. She quickly took a sip of her drink, put down her glass, and while cutting the lamb chops, said:
"Um, Johnny and I will ask Reed to help with the custom-made clothes... What style of suit do you want to order? And what size?"

Seeing her adorable attempt to change the subject and hide her embarrassment, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but smile slightly and said:

"I don't need any special outfits. A long trench coat, a pair of trousers, underwear, and leather shoes will suffice. As for the size, how about you take my measurements yourself later?"

Measuring the size yourself?

Wouldn't that mean extremely close contact?
Susan paused slightly while cutting the lamb chops, but quickly resumed cutting as if nothing had happened, giving a barely perceptible soft "hmm" and nodding.

After dinner, it was already past 8 p.m.

As the two walked out of the restaurant, it started raining again. A damp and cool evening breeze blew by, and Susan, who was only wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, couldn't help but hunch her shoulders slightly.

Seeing this, Li Xingzhou took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Susan thanked him, her hands clasped together, clutching his coat. She felt the lingering warmth and refreshing scent on the suit jacket, and for a moment, she had a subtle feeling as if she were being held in his arms.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the car."

Li Xingzhou said something to Susan, ran across the road in the rain, went to the open-air parking space on the other side of the street, drove the Lincoln Navigator to the restaurant entrance, got out of the car, opened a large black umbrella, returned to Susan, and covered most of the umbrella over her head.

"Let's go."

This thoughtful gesture warmed Susan's heart. She gave him a sweet smile and, emboldened by the alcohol, took his arm.

The two shared an umbrella and arrived at the car. Li Xingzhou considerately helped her into the passenger seat, then went around to the driver's side, folded up the umbrella, and sat down in the driver's seat.

Susan glanced at Li Xingzhou and saw that his hair and shirt were mostly soaked by the rain. She quickly took out a pack of tissues from her handbag and handed it to him, saying, "You're all wet... wipe your face first."

Li Xingzhou pulled out a tissue to wipe his face and smiled:
"Actually, getting wet isn't a big deal. I'm a superhuman with a super physique, so I won't get sick even if I run around naked in the snow."

Susan smiled, pursing her lips:
"But it's always uncomfortable to wear wet clothes. Where do you live? How about I come to your place to change first?"

Li Xingzhou shrugged:

“My home is quite far from here, in Forest Hills, Queens.”

“That is indeed a bit far.” Susan nodded and smiled, “But anyway, it’s still early, and it’s not convenient to go shopping in the rain... let’s just enjoy the New York rainy night view.”

Li Xingzhou asked:
"But is it alright to take you home so late? Johnny specifically asked me to take you home."

Susan wrinkled her nose and gave a soft snort:
“I’m an adult now. I can decide when to go back. He can’t control me.”

"Then... shall we go to my place first?"

Susan had just been in the cool breeze for a short while, and now, sitting in the warm car, the effects of the alcohol were gradually taking hold. Her face flushed, she lightly swung her little fist:

"Let's go to your place! Let's go!"

Li Xingzhou chuckled, started the car, and drove towards Queens.

When they arrived at the forest hill, even though Li Xingzhou didn't deliberately use his internal energy to evaporate the moisture on his body, his hair and clothes had already been automatically dried by his body temperature—they were almost dry halfway there.

But Susan didn't seem to notice this, or rather, she deliberately ignored it. She was busy chatting with Li Xingzhou the whole way, talking about her own life and hobbies, or curiously asking Li Xingzhou about the troubles and interesting things he encountered while being a superhero.

Do vampires and werewolves really exist?

"Yes. You have personally encountered demons from hell. Even more legendary demons exist, not to mention mutated human subspecies like vampires and werewolves. In fact, I have reformed vampires serving as prison guards. With them in charge, those hardened criminals with sentences of hundreds of years don't dare to cause trouble. They all behave like obedient children."

"But don't vampires drink human blood? How do you satisfy their appetite?"

"Buy those expired blood bags that are about to be destroyed from the blood bank, and feed them animal blood."

"Would they really eat such blood?"

"Hehe, that's not up to them to decide."

"What about werewolves? Do you have werewolves under your command?"

"There are no werewolves. The werewolves I encountered were very strange, seemingly tainted by the power of hell, which is extremely dangerous. You know, the demons of hell are causing trouble in New York. If we add those werewolves tainted by the power of hell, who knows what kind of chaos they'll cause. So I'm currently sending people to track down the werewolves and search their lair, intending to wipe out those man-eating monsters in one fell swoop."

"Leon, you're amazing! If you find the werewolves' lair, give me a call, and I'll get Johnny, Ben, and Reed to help."

"I'll call you. But you're not professional warriors, especially Dr. Reed, who's a great scientist and might never have fought before. So just call Johnny; his abilities are a great counter to werewolves."

"Okay... By the way, what should we do about that 'evil queen' who caused the big car accident today?"

"There's no solution for now. Even Tony Stark couldn't find her real IP address online, nor could he find the Trojan horse that hijacked the power system. So the New York City government will probably have to accept her blackmail to avoid a citywide car crash and blackout caused by her..."

They chatted all the way, and when Li Xingzhou parked the car in the courtyard of the English-style villa, Susan, whose drunkenness had worn off, belatedly realized... that she had actually followed him to his house.

This wasn't broad daylight, but a beautiful rainy night with a captivating sound of rain. On such a night, going to a young man's house...

Looking at the dark villa, Susan felt both nervous and shy. During their conversation on the way, Li Ang had told her that he had no siblings and that his parents had passed away. He was living alone now. So, was she about to be alone with him?

However, when Li Xingzhou opened the car door, got out, and came to the passenger seat with an umbrella, holding it to shield her from the door as he helped her out, the nervous and apprehensive Susan still gave him a sweet and bright smile, took his hand, and stepped out of the car.

Once inside, Li Xingzhou found Susan a pair of slippers, led her to the small living room on the second floor, and made her a cup of coffee.

Susan held the coffee cup in both hands and said softly:

"Your clothes seem a little wet again. Why don't you go take a shower?"

"Okay." Li Xingzhou nodded: "You are welcome to visit freely."

Susan asked him:

"Can I visit anywhere?"

Li Xingzhou smiled:

"Of course. All the doors are unlocked, and you can go into any room to visit."

Susan winked playfully:

"Since you said so, I won't be polite."

"Please go ahead. I'll take my leave now."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, turned around, and went to take a shower. Watching him leave the small hall, Susan, holding her coffee cup, first walked around the hall, then visited each room in turn.

"Hey, I found the study. Anatomy, neural networks, the secrets of genes... Isn't Leonardo a business student? How come he has so many books on medicine, biology, and even genetics?"

Susan muttered to herself, but didn't think much of it. Instead, she was a little happy about the discovery, because she was also quite interested in biology and genetics and had a considerable understanding of them.

In Li Xingzhou's study, besides academic books and scientific journals, there are various poems, essays, literary stories, and even science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as a whole row of Chinese novels...

Susan pulled out a thick Chinese novel and read the title aloud in awkward Chinese:
"Shan, Guo, Yan, Yi... I feel like I've heard this story before? Johnny used to always mention someone named 'Guan Yu' when he was playing games... Can Leonardo DiCaprio read Chinese novels?"

Besides the Chinese version of the novel, there was also the Italian version of "The Aeneid," the French version of the complete works of Victor Hugo, and so on. Judging from the creases and other marks left in these books, they were not just for show, but had been read and handled over a long period of time.

"Chinese, Italian, French... all kinds of interdisciplinary academic books... Li Ang's knowledge is also very extensive."

Susan smiled and left the study to visit the other rooms.

This time she found a music room.

Inside was a piano, a drum set, a guitar, a bass, and other instruments, as well as some exotic instruments that she didn't recognize.

"Li Ang actually knows music?"

Susan was a little excited, feeling like she had stumbled upon an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Okay, this music room was decorated by Gwen for Li Xingzhou. Before, his piano was still in his study.

Gwen spent most of the day setting up the music room for him, and even added some personal items for herself—the drum set was something Gwen had prepared for herself.

Susan wandered around the music room for a while, gently touching a few instruments. Just as she was about to go to other rooms, Li Xingzhou, who had changed into casual clothes, walked in with a smile.

"Finished your tour?"

Susan shook her head:
"I've only visited the study and this area so far."

She walked to the piano, gently pressed the keys, and looked at Li Xingzhou with expectant eyes:
"Could you play a tune for me?"

"My pleasure."

Li Xingzhou sat down at the piano, flexed his fingers, and turned to look at Susan:

"What do you want to hear?"

"Just play any piano piece."

"it is good."

Li Xingzhou placed his hands on the piano keys, paused briefly, and then with a gentle movement of his slender fingers, simple and pure music flowed out.

Susan knew from the very first note that it was Schumann's "Träumerei".

Although it was just a short piece, the music played by Li Xingzhou seemed to possess a certain magic.

Accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window, the dreamlike melody that seemed to cleanse the soul almost instantly opened Susan's heart, immersing her in a sweet and clear dream, making her deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.

As the music ended, Susan stood alone, holding her coffee cup, a glistening tear in the corner of her eye, leaning against the piano, savoring the dreamlike music that still lingered in her ears.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xingzhou's gentle, magnetic voice rang in her ear:

"Susan, is there anything else you'd like to hear?"

Susan didn't say anything.

She put down her coffee cup, threw herself into Li Xingzhou's arms, and hugged his shoulders tightly, burying her face in his chest. After a while, she looked up at him with her blushing face, her bright eyes gazing at him, her long eyelashes trembling as she murmured:

"kiss Me……"

Li Xingzhou did not hesitate. He smiled slightly, gently lifted her chin with one hand, and wrapped his other arm around her slender neck, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Before she knew it, Susan's off-the-shoulder dress had slipped down, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually grew louder...

……

midnight.

Li Xingzhou's bedroom.

Susan curled up weakly in Li Xingzhou's arms like a tired kitten, her soft, boneless body trembling slightly from time to time, as if she was still immersed in the lingering afterglow.

Li Xingzhou held her full, round buttocks with one hand and gently stroked her smooth, silky back with the other, his fingertips slowly releasing a gentle spiritual energy to soothe her body and mind.

His power was too great. Even though Susan's abilities were related to the mind to some extent, she still couldn't withstand his power. He had to protect her carefully so that she wouldn't suffer a mental breakdown and fall into the celestial demon's paradise.

After a long while, Susan's trembling body finally calmed down, and her breathing returned to normal.

Her long eyelashes, glistening with fine teardrops, trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Li Xingzhou who was standing right in front of her, and suddenly burst into tears.

Li Xingzhou gently kissed her ear and asked softly:

"what happened?"

Susan raised her small fist and weakly punched his chest twice, saying in a sobbing voice:
"You bad guy... After everything that happened tonight, how can I ever leave you?"

His handsome elegance, his reliability and strength, his gentleness and thoughtfulness, his profound knowledge, his versatility, and the unprecedented, heavenly experience he had given her before, all intoxicated her and made her deeply infatuated.

But this also made her anxious and uneasy—it's great to enjoy a wonderful relationship, but if she becomes completely infatuated and can't extricate herself, how will she cope when he gets tired of her?
The thought that this bad guy was a playboy made Susan burst into tears.

"But...why did you leave me?"

Li Xingzhou's hand roamed over her slender waist and shapely buttocks, and he chuckled softly:
"Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed with me all the time?"

“Easier said than done…” Susan mustered her strength and punched him twice: “But a playboy like you will never stop flirting with other women. If you ever get tired of me, you’ll definitely kick me to the curb!”

"You think too much."

Li Xingzhou gently stroked her cheek, wiping away her tears, and said leisurely:

"Susan, you are so outstanding, how could I possibly dislike you? Don't worry, I'm a very domineering villain. Once I capture a girl, I will never let her go, not even death can take her from my grasp..."

Such a domineering and even evil declaration, however, sounded like the most touching love confession to Susan.

At that moment, she cast aside all her fear and unease, holding him tightly and whispering tenderly:
"Kiss me, darling, kiss me now..."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss her sweet lips.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall, and Susan had forgotten to go home...
