Xia Yu's Embarrassment
It's impossible for me to believe; I'll never believe it in this lifetime.
But whether they believe it or not is another matter.
Sif, now fully aware of what was happening, looked at her childhood friends.
Thor looked at Xia Yu lying on the ground with an incredulous expression.
I reflected on everything I had just done.
She let out another earth-shattering scream, frantically pushed everyone aside, and stumbled out of the wine cellar.
That scream was filled with a mix of emotions: fear, surprise, regret, and shame.
But Xia Yu is in trouble.
Sister, you were the one who forcibly kissed me, okay? Is it really okay for you to act like you were the one who was harassed?
Aren't you going to stay and explain things to everyone?
People will easily misunderstand you like that, hey!
Sure enough... the way the men looked at Xia Yu immediately changed.
Volstagg, the most hot-tempered of them all, had already drawn his axe.
Although Thor didn't understand women's thoughts very well, he understood Xia Yu very well.
Furthermore, since his mother's death, Thor has matured and become more composed, so he immediately went after Sif, hoping to clarify things as soon as possible.
Thor is gone, but Xia Yu is in an awkward position.
After staring at each other for a while, Fandral couldn't hold onto either of them.
Volstagg jumped up and brought his axe down on Xia Yu's head.
"You despicable Earthling, how dare you do such a thing to Sif."
Xia Yu sidestepped Volstagg's attack.
"This is a misunderstanding. You should at least wait until Thor returns before deciding whether to take action."
Xia Yu was quite patient in explaining it to him.
Volstagg had no time to listen to Xia Yu's explanation. His anger flared even more after his first attack missed, and he grabbed his axe and swung it at Xia Yu again.
"Hey, aren't you going to stop your friends? This is really a misunderstanding."
If Sif were still alive at the beginning, Fandral and Hogun might have tried to stop it, because it involved a royal scandal.
Sif was, after all, Thor's fiancée and a good friend to everyone.
But now that the two of them are gone, they're quite interested to see what Xia Yu is capable of.
Although they met when Thor was exiled to Earth, Thor was in a hurry to return to Asgard and did not actually fight Xia Yu that time.
At the time, Xia Yu's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms had impressive sound and light effects.
However, after Xia Yu arrived in Asgard, Odin bestowed upon him various privileges, including free access to the treasure vault and the Tesseract.
He even made Thor recognize Xia Yu as his sworn brother, and Thor went to Earth to follow Xia Yu long-term.
This displeased the proud Asgardian Warriors, but they refrained from acting out due to Thor's relationship with Odin.
Now that they've found a pretext, they want to see what makes Xia Yu so deserving of such preferential treatment from Odin, and why he can become Thor's elder brother.
So even though the two knew there must be some misunderstanding about what they had just witnessed, they still chose to stand by and watch the spectacle as Volstagg raised his axe and swung it.
"Earthling, is all you can do is jump around like a monkey?" Volstagg stomped his feet in frustration after missing several shots in a row.
Xia Yu watched as Volstagg glared angrily at him from the side, while Fandral and Hogun made no attempt to stop him.
Xia Yu was getting a little angry.
What kind of nonsense is this? I just came to get some drinks, and I got forcibly kissed by your goddess, which is one thing, but I'm a man after all.
But you guys are never going to stop, are you?
Xia Yu dodged backward, leaping out of Volstagg's attack range, and then casually opened a portal to the outside of the Golden Palace.
"Since you won't listen to my explanation, let's find a more open place and have a proper match."
Xia Yu finished speaking calmly and walked inside without looking back.
Volstagg immediately followed, and Fandral and Hogun exchanged a glance before also going out.
As for Xia Yu's ability to open teleportation portals, they automatically assumed it was because Xia Yu possessed the Tesseract.
Xia Yu's portal led him directly to a large grassland with a small grove of trees nearby. It was a quiet place with few people around, making it a good spot for a fight.
"You monkey from Earth, now you're not going to keep jumping around like that, are you? Do you dare to face me head-on?" Volstagg flexed his muscles and said to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu didn't say anything, but just beckoned to Volstagg with a finger, giving him a disdainful look.
Volstagg was furious. To be looked down upon by an Earthling was something no proud Asgardian Warriors could tolerate, especially one as berserk as Volstagg.
Enraged, Volstagg charged forward like a wild boar.
Xia Yu stared coldly at Volstagg, making no attempt to dodge. To be honest, if Vostagg hadn't been Thor's friend in the wine cellar, Xia Yu would have killed him with a single blow.
The Asgardian Warriors of Hela's era were indeed formidable, but now? Apart from a very few, the rest don't even have the ability to make Xia Yu dodge.
Fandral and Hogun were still whispering to each other, wondering if Xia Yu had been frightened by Volstagg's imposing presence. Volstagg was a famous strongman in Asgard, and Xia Yu was, after all, Odin's honored guest and Thor's older brother. They were worried that Xia Yu might actually be killed.
The two of them were still hesitating, wondering whether they should go and rescue Xia Yu.
The next scene left the Warriors Three utterly astonished.
Including Volstagg.
Faced with his full-force axe blow, Xia Yu simply extended his right hand and caught the axe blade with his bare hand.
The three of them could see clearly that the gleaming axe blade was at least two centimeters away from Xia Yu's hand.
In other words, Xia Yu blocked Volstagg's full-force downward axe blow using only the strength of Five Fingers.
Fandral and Hogun exchanged an incredulous look.
"Volstagg, did you not use any force this time?"
Although they witnessed Volstagg's powerful downward strike, they couldn't help but double-check.
Because I simply couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Ah!~!~!~!
Volstagg didn't speak, but roared angrily, his face flushed red.
He couldn't answer; he was using every ounce of strength he had to pull the axe out.
But Xia Yu's Five Fingers didn't twitch at all.
I could feel Volstagg pulling back with all his might.
Xia Yu said casually, "Want to go back? Here you go!"
Xia Yu suddenly let go, Volstagg, who was pulling back with all his might, couldn't stop and stumbled back several steps before falling to the ground with a thud.
The axe fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
Volstagg stared at his hands in disbelief, muttering to himself.
