Does Phoenix Seem Jealous?

"Beep beep..."

Hearing the disconnection tone from the phone, Cyclops didn't react; he just stared blankly at the screen.

He could almost imagine what Qin was going through.

But he dared not say it outright, for he was afraid of losing the zither.

"She'll come back eventually; it'll be fine once she does."

Cyclops thought to himself.

New York is too far from Los Angeles; there's no way Qin can stay.

So he was relieved.

Even his beloved zither might be being stood up by someone right now...

To his surprise, Qin had already become somewhat decadent.

As the saying goes: What If...? I had never seen the light, I could bear the darkness.

The same applies to Qin. If she hadn't witnessed Li Chen's prowess, she could have tolerated Cyclops' weakness.

So, lying in Li Chen's arms, she said, "Shall I end things with him?"

Li Chen was initially remarking that it was indeed necessary to learn foreign languages.

Phoenix is indeed no ordinary person; her eyes were shining with golden light just now, and she almost turned into a 'Dark Phoenix' on the spot.

Hearing this, he was startled. "Why do you think that?"

"We're not a good match."

Jean Grey thought to herself.

Cyclops are too boring, lacking any romance, and certainly not providing the excitement Qin craves.

But Li Chen can bring an unprecedented experience.

Li Chen touched her face and smiled, "Don't you think this is more interesting?"

"Admit it, you like this feeling too."

"Consider this a task I'm giving you; you must maintain this identity."

Hearing Li Chen's words, Phoenix rolled her eyes at him, but agreed with him.

Just as Li Chen said, her heart beat the fastest when Cyclops called.

After that, the two tacitly stopped talking about it.

Instead, they changed the subject.

They began to seriously discuss how to stop Magneto's plan.

The most important, of course, are Mystique and the protector of the Grand Commander.

"Mystique... she can't betray us at crucial moments."

Clearly, Mystique has a good reputation.

That is, she is very indecisive.

They always betray you at crucial moments.

"I'll be careful."

Li Chen nodded.

Just charge it more often.

Then, the second battle began.

Three days later, Li Chen finished arranging things at the company and prepared to go to New York with his team.

Because of the chartered flight, Jean Grey also made a special trip along.

She saw Li Chen's entourage, but the most eye-catching one was the bald man.

Saitama, dressed in casual home clothes, looks like a typical otaku; no one could possibly associate him with the hero who blasted Abomination with a single punch.

But Qin knew this person was terrifying.

Even the X-Men probably wouldn't be able to defeat Abomination so easily; there would definitely be a fierce battle.

But Saitama? He finished it off with just one punch.

Ram and Rem were still present, and Psylocke was also there.

Psylocke is also Mutants, and Jean Grey pays close attention to her.

Why did you bring a car?

Jean Grey asked curiously.

Li Chen explained, "I'm used to it; it's easier to drive my own car."

The main reason is that after experiencing the Bumblebee, I couldn't stand sitting in any other car anymore.

The Bumblebee offers a fantastic riding experience; it's comfortable to sit in, and the ride is fast and stable without causing any discomfort.

Therefore, ever since Li Chen rode in the Bumblebee, he couldn't fit into any other car.

He left Arcee behind to look after the house.

Arcee: Family, I really want to swear.

Is it appropriate to leave her alone as the Autobots in the empty manor?

Qin didn't say anything, but glanced at Bumblebee. Wasn't that the one from the movie?

Surprisingly, she quite likes this color scheme.

As a representative of muscle cars, the Bumblebee certainly looks imposing and Haki these days.

After all, people weren't that particular about car appearance back then.

Some people even have a fondness for classic cars.

Boarding the Hellfire Club's private jet, Li Chen and the others sat in their seats and enjoyed the service from the flight attendants.

For Jean Grey, Hellfire's private jet, while lacking the high-tech features of the X-Men, was far more luxurious.

Especially noteworthy is the presence of flight attendants of various skin colors serving them.

This is definitely more enjoyable.

For a man, this is like going to heaven.

Before long, the plane arrived in New York.

Li Chen stepped off the plane and immediately took a deep breath of fresh air.

I don't know why, but every time they cause trouble, it ends up in New York?

No wonder it's called the Metropolis; it's practically a place rife with accidents, just like the Shanghai Fortress.

"You all go back first, I'm going to the academy."

Li Chen spoke to Ram and the others.

With Bumblebees carrying them, they don't need to worry about getting lost.

That's the good thing about being wise.

Li Chen and Qin took a taxi to the Charles Manor.

Li Chen and Qin held hands, and Qin whispered, "When we get to the manor, don't let them recognize us."

"What? Are you scared?"

Li Chen asked with amusement.

"It's not good to be seen."

Qin blushed.

Li Chen didn't say anything, which made Qin very uneasy.

Amidst this trepidation, the taxi Luffy to the Charles Manor.

Li Chen added a little extra to the tip; after all, an experienced driver is always reliable.

Qin first pulled her hand away, then opened the car door and got out.

Li Chen didn't mind, and simply followed Qin behind.

She was still wearing that green dress, which was very form-fitting and accentuated her curves. Li Chen simply admired her from behind.

Unfortunately, Jean Grey's senses were very sharp, and she was able to detect Li Chen's gaze.

This made her feel uncomfortable walking.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, and she rang the doorbell; the door opened quickly.

The students who were resting greeted Jean Grey as soon as they saw her return.

Qin relaxed considerably and responded to them.

Many people looked at Li Chen curiously and recognized him.

After all, Li Chen took away the previous year's 'graduates'.

Moreover, both Kitty Pryde and Dazzler are currently enjoying considerable popularity.

This caused the female students to look at Li Chen with different emotions nowadays.

The bolder ones simply came over to say hello.

"Mr. Li, I am Anna Mary Lebo."

Li Chen didn't recognize her at first, but when he saw that tuft of white hair, he realized she was Rogue.

Hello, Anna.

Li Chen shook her hand, only to find that the woman tickled his palm like a kitten.

"Sir, am I suited to be a star?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen gave her a thorough once-over.

Li Chen's vision is now exceptional; he can visually assess a great deal of data.

She is about 1.73 meters tall, and her weight is probably similar to Qin's. She has a curvy figure.

Of course, the Rogue's defining feature is this tuft of white fur.

Li Chen then said earnestly, "You have great talent, Anna."

"Really?"

The Rogue's eyes lit up, and he covered his mouth in surprise, asking, "Can I come visit you after I graduate?"

"Of course, I'd be more than happy to."

Li Chen nodded.

Just then, Jean said with a hint of displeasure, "Anna, you should go to class."

"Okay, teacher."

The Rogue, being a woman, keenly sensed that Phoenix seemed... to be jealous?
