Running Into Old Master Li Again
"Grandpa, what are you saying? How could I possibly curse you?" Xia Yu shifted his position slightly to the side.
Who knew that Old Master Li would turn around and chase after them, saying fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the stuff!"
Xia Yu was completely dumbfounded. What did he have to hand over? The Infinity Stones?
"I don't have any Infinity Stones on me, old man. What do you want me to give you?" Xia Yu shifted his buttocks a little further to the side.
Xia Yu was almost at the edge of the stool, with only his buttocks still on it.
Old Master Li relentlessly pursued Xia Yu, keeping close behind him until they caught up.
He glared and said, "Nonsense! Who wants the Infinity Stones? I know they're not on you. Hand over the nude photos you took in Sovereign!"
Xia Yu was dumbfounded. What kind of hobby is this? Although he didn't know who this person was, he was at least a creator god or some kind of cosmic deity behind the scenes, right? And on this holiday, he brought me to this space and asked me for this?
Even so, Xia Yu quickly took out his phone, selected a photo from his album, opened it, and handed the phone over.
Before his hand could even reach halfway, Old Master Li snatched the phone away menacingly.
Xia Yu's photo features thousands of Sovereign girls in the background. At least a hundred girls are in the picture, including the High Priestess Ayesha.
The old man's eyes lit up as he scrolled through the pictures on his phone, looking at each person one by one, making clicking sounds as he went.
Muttering about how this one has big breasts, that one has long legs, and so on.
He looked like a lecherous, ravenous man, quite obscene, practically rubbing his hands together and shouting "Yoshi!"
The old man examined the phone for several minutes, bit by bit, before reluctantly handing it to Xia Yu. Then, with trembling hands, he raised his right hand and gave Xia Yu a sharp rap on the head.
"You idiot! What a rare opportunity! Why didn't you take more photos or videos? Idiot, idiot!" While scolding Xia Yu, her trembling hands didn't stop, and she tapped Xia Yu's head several more times.
Xia Yu panicked when the old man reached out his hand and instinctively tried to dodge. But despite the old man's trembling appearance, the moment his right hand struck down, Xia Yu felt as if the entire universe was pressing down on him. His whole body turned ice-cold, and he couldn't move an inch.
After being hit on the head several times, Old Master Li casually tossed his phone into Xia Yu, looking at Xia Yu with exasperation, and said, "Next time you have such a good opportunity, take more pictures for me."
Xia Yu dared not say anything else, nodding reluctantly in agreement, while muttering to himself, "Who knew you liked this kind of thing? You're so old. Besides, can't you see what you like to watch? I bet there's no corner of this universe that can escape your gaze."
As if he knew what Xia Yu was thinking, Old Master Li raised his hand and smacked Xia Yu on the head again. "Don't underestimate me just because I'm old, kid. I'm stronger than you. This kind of thing is only interesting when you happen to take the picture and then share it. It's not as fun if you look at it all the time. Do you think I'm an old pervert?"
Xia Yu almost nodded in agreement subconsciously, but quickly shook his head instead, respectfully saying to the old man, "No, you didn't bring me here just for this photo, did you? Or is there something else you want to talk to me about? Please let me know what you need."
"It's all your fault. You pulled out that photo and caught my attention, almost making me forget about the important matter. You already have the scent of two Infinity Stones on you, which is great. It didn't ruin anything that was supposed to happen. You're smart. Keep it up."
The old man reached out and made a gesture in the air, and a miniature river appeared in the sky.
Xia Yu looked along the river, but he couldn't see where it stretched to on either side, nor could he see its source or its final destination.
The old man conjured another boat on the river, which slowly began to move along with the current.
Pointing to the boat, he said to Xia Yu, "Following the established route can change some things, but before making any changes, don't let the boat drift off to another place. Just go with the current, understand?"
Xia Yu scratched his head. "I roughly understand what it means. I won't do anything reckless."
Xia Yu pointed to the river and said, "The key is that this is the only road I know. Before that, I won't change the boat's course randomly, otherwise I won't be able to see the road ahead."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, reached out and removed the river and boats from the void, and said to Xia Yu again, "You are very smart. The gems are very important. Once you have collected all six, I mean, like you have two on you now..."
"That might still be a chance to change everything. Remember, never let the river change course, or you'll be targeted sooner. Don't ask me who I am or how to do it; that's all I can tell you. Get lost."
The old man casually waved his hand, and the two reappeared at the entrance of the fast food restaurant. People came and went, completely unaware of their unusual behavior.
Xia Yu glanced around. Xia Yu powerful senses told him that everything around him was exactly the same as before, meaning that time had been frozen here while the old man and he had been talking for so long.
The old man, still holding a glass of Coca-Cola, smiled at Xia Yu and said, "Get lost, don't get in my way while I'm admiring the pretty girls. And don't forget to film me next time you have a good opportunity like that."
After saying that, he patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and walked away unsteadily, his eyes constantly scanning the beautiful women passing by.
Xia Yu patted his forehead, thinking about the old man's wicked hobbies. How come he felt so much like an older Tony Stark? But Tony would probably be more serious when he got older, since the later Tony in the movies was much more serious.
Shaking his head, Xia Yu stopped thinking about useless things and focused on what the old man had just told him. He then pushed open the door and went to buy something for Happy.
