Would You Believe Me If I Said I Was Passing By and Came In to Use the Bathroom?
One second Xia Yu was waiting for Natasha's embrace in Odin's Vault, the next second he suddenly appeared in a room with metal walls.
"Yes, Master!" Tmall replied to Xia Yu's call.
Xia Yu looked around blankly at the very industrial-style room. There were no windows, and most of the things in the room were made of metal: a single bed, a table, a chair, and a small iron wardrobe hanging on the metal wall.
There was also a small door next to it, which was probably a bathroom or something similar. It was clear that this was a room with an owner, because Xia Yu found some simple daily necessities on the table.
The room's owner must be a woman, because Xia Yu smelled a faint girl's fragrance on the bed.
Xia Yu looked around blankly until Tmall's voice came through, and then he realized what was happening.
"Having absorbed so much energy, do I now possess the teleportation ability of the Space Stone? Was it because I lost control just now?" Xia Yu roughly understood what had happened.
"Yes, Master, absorbing energy is secondary. The main thing is to absorb the rules represented by the Cosmic Origin. The Source of your life is vastly different from a portion of the Source of a universe. You may need some time to adapt," Tmall explained.
Xia Yu roughly understood what Tmall meant: using the Source of the universe to change himself, even if it was only one-sixth of it, still temporarily overloaded Xia Yu, which is why he lost control. The Space Stone's power is space, the most direct being teleportation, which is why it lost control and randomly teleported Xia Yu.
"How long is 'a period of time'? Are you randomly teleported each time?" Xia Yu suddenly became excited halfway through his sentence.
"Holy crap, random teleportation? What if they just throw me into space, or even a star? I'm doomed!"
"Don't worry, Master, the system won't watch you die. I can't help you adapt, but at least I can ensure that you're not randomly teleported to overly dangerous places."
"Oh!" Tmall's explanation put Xia Yu at ease a little. Although he hadn't completely figured it out yet, Xia Yu decided to first carefully observe where he was.
Xia Yu removed his hand and shifted his weight, preparing to move his body. However, it seemed as if his hand had touched a switch. On the metal wall beside the bed, a piece of black metal began to melt, revealing a glass-like transparent window.
Xia Yu looked outside and his jaw nearly dropped.
Outside was the vast universe, an endless darkness, with the twinkling of stars visible in the distance. Within the window's view, Xia Yu could not see any nearby celestial bodies.
A group of meteorite fragments, each about the size of a coffee table, grazed past the spaceship and landed directly in front of Xia Yu's window. Xia Yu could even see the pitted and uneven surface of the meteorites.
Although he had traveled to different worlds and visited Asgard several times, Xia Yu was quite knowledgeable and had experience with interstellar travel. However, the shock he felt when he looked at the vast universe from inside a spaceship for the first time, the awe he felt for the boundless universe, and the sense of insignificance of individual life were simply indescribable.
At first glance, the room's various styles felt familiar; it turned out to be very similar to the lounge inside the Helicarrier.
Xia Yu was completely stunned for a moment.
Xia Yu was so stunned that he didn't even react when the small door inside the room suddenly opened.
Normally, Xia Yu wouldn't be able to sense anyone within dozens of meters of him, but due to the excessive burden on his soul, Xia Yu senses and thinking were much weaker than usual. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, so Xia Yu didn't even realize that there was another person in the bathroom of the room.
The person who opened the door was a girl with orange skin all over her body, long dark green hair on her head, and exquisite facial features. Her body proportions were also amazing. Xia Yu could see very clearly because this beauty from some unknown planet was completely naked.
Orange skin and dark green hair create a striking color contrast that gives the wearer a unique and beautiful appearance.
Although the beautiful woman was completely naked, Xia Yu's eyes showed no lust. Her orange skin made it difficult for Xia Yu to feel any normal desire. It's like if a supermodel with an amazing figure were to be painted all over and stand naked in front of you, you would hardly feel like you were looking at a nude woman.
Therefore, Xia Yu felt no shame or embarrassment at the sight of the naked beauty, and naturally looked her over thoroughly from head to toe.
"Um... beautiful lady, would you believe me if I said I just happened to be passing by and came in to use the restroom?" Xia Yu said, pointing out the window.
Perhaps it was Xia Yu's calm and collected demeanor that intimidated the beautiful woman, because she only gasped and opened her mouth after Xia Yu finished speaking, about to let out a deafening scream.
Before she could even cry out, Xia Yu suddenly stood up and covered her mouth.
"Shh, don't make a sound, lovely lady. I'm not your enemy, nor did I intentionally barge into your room. Calm down and don't shout. Listen to me, and I'll let you go, okay?"
Xia Yu placed one hand on the other person's shoulder, pinning them against the wall, and covered their mouth with the other, trying his best to speak in a gentle tone.
The woman in orange stared intently at Xia Yu with her large eyes. Xia Yu noticed that her eyelashes were also orange, just like her skin.
The eyelashes were orange too, so what about the body hair on the rest of the body? Xia Yu tried to recall what he had just seen... um... he seemed to have forgotten. Should he take another look?
"What nonsense!" Xia Yu quickly shook his head, shaking off the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, and said again, "I really didn't mean to barge in. I'll emphasize again, I didn't mean to peek at you. If you believe me, just nod, and I'll let you go, provided you don't shout."
To be fair, Xia Yu was quite sincere just now, but when he was thinking about the hair color issue, his eyes darted around like a thief, so it's no wonder no one believed him.
However, the beautiful woman still nodded to Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn't dare to let go of her all at once, so he loosened his grip slightly and asked.
"I believe you!" The woman in orange nodded at Xia Yu, her face full of sincerity, and her body slowly relaxed from its tense state.
Xia Yu, who was standing very close to her, naturally sensed the change in her body. He slowly released his hand, and his other hand also slowly left her shoulder. He then took a very slow step back to show that he had no ill intentions.
Seeing that Xia Yu had released his grip and taken a step back, the woman in orange flashed a sharp light in her eyes, shifted all her weight to her right foot, and prepared to lift her left foot to take a step to the left.
There was an alarm on the left wall. If she tapped it lightly, the entire spaceship would know that an outsider had broken into her room. Then he wouldn't be able to escape. He could say that he was just passing by and came in to use the toilet, or that he accidentally came in to peep at her. Just now, his thieving eyes almost looked her up and down, the orange-clad beauty thought angrily.
The idea was quite good, and the acting was also good enough. He knew how to relax his body to numb others, but unfortunately, his left foot had just left the ground and he hadn't even had time to take a step. Xia Yu's body, which was originally retreating, miraculously slid forward and returned to the previous position.
Both hands were still covering her mouth and pressing against her shoulders, just like before.
The woman in orange was just about to shift her weight when Xia Yu suddenly pushed her, causing her back to slam heavily against the wall.
"Mmm~!"
The woman in orange winced in pain in her back, and let out a soft "hmm" as her mouth was covered.
Xia Yu ignored whether the other person was in pain or not, and whispered menacingly in their ear:
"I don't even believe what I'm saying myself, and you actually believe it? Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Completely unpredictable, the orange-clad beauty glared at Xia Yu with her large eyes, wishing she could tear Xia Yu to pieces with her gaze.
