Return to the Present World

At noon, the sun hung high in the blue sky like a fiery ball.

Outside Themyscira, on a giant cruise ship returning from a five-day sea voyage.

Greeting the slightly damp and cool sea breeze, a stunning beauty in a white off-the-shoulder dress with a slit, and a youthful boy who had changed back into his modern uniform, returned to the side of the third deck without the tourists noticing.

"Aunt, I'm sorry, I messed up..." Xi Nian drooped his ears like Little Huang. He could see the Amazon Queen's displeased expression that morning.

After all, it was a devastating loss that Themyscira had never experienced in its thousand-year history!

"Just be careful next time," Diana said softly, without scolding.

"Next time for sure! But, will I have another chance next time?" Xi Nian's mouth twitched, and the image of Antiope's barely concealed anger, as well as the stunned looks on the faces of the warriors and civilians, reappeared in his mind.

Would he be mobbed if he went back to Themyscira?

"Of course not," Diana said with a slight smile, looking at a receding stretch of sea. "They've actually accepted you and welcome your next visit. When the time comes, I'll take you to the palace to meet Mother."

Xi Nian looked at the side profile of his Aunt Diana, and his heart began to race again.

Aunt was already beautiful, and when she smiled, she was clearly even more stunning.

The curve of her lips, which formed a tempting arc, made Xi Nian recall the unspeakable scene from last night.

A jolt of warmth spread from the corner of his mouth, spreading little by little and quickly permeating every inch of his body.

A gentle kiss, and he stepped into the extraordinary.

Xi Nian, now in demigod mode, opened his silver eyes and looked at the Wonder Woman nearby, whose face was calm and natural.

"Let this be a reward for not hugging you today," the Wonder Woman said, lifting her head slightly. Her slightly unsteady voice betrayed that she wasn't as calm as she appeared, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "But this is also so you can inherit my power. Yes, that's all."

Whether this was self-deception or not, it was ultimately a fitting reason.

A valid reason that allowed him to feel at peace at this moment, briefly crossing that boundary.

"So that's how it is..." Xi Nian muttered to himself, his divine silver eyes hiding his fervent inner emotions.

He suddenly said, "It's not enough."

"What?" The Wonder Woman blinked, looking at Xi Nian in confusion.

"The medium, there isn't enough of it," Xi Nian said with extreme calmness. He suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed the soft lips that had parted slightly in surprise.

"Is that so? Not enough medium, I suppose there's nothing to be done about it."

The Wonder Woman's eyes were also calm. She let out a sigh of hot air with some helplessness, then lowered her head without resistance, offering something even softer and sweeter.

The silvery moonlight fell into the great hall. On the stone altar, the Mother Box, which had been placed there for a thousand years, remained silent.

Returning to Washington.

After tidying up the house, Diana went out to work.

In fact, Diana's job changed every few years. Xi Nian didn't understand the reason before, but now he completely understood. With Aunt's eternally youthful physique, if she stayed in one place for several years, even with divine power to conceal it, she might expose her unusual nature.

Fortunately, with Diana's excellent qualities, she had no trouble finding work. Currently, she seemed to be a shareholder in a well-known local private law firm in Washington.

After showering at home, Xi Nian finally turned on his phone, which had been off for five days. The moment it turned on, his phone screen was bombarded with countless messages.

This startled Xi Nian, and he almost thought his phone had a virus.

Before he could check the messages, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Xi Nian curiously went to open the door and saw a robust white youth standing at his doorstep, holding a pet carrier. The young man looked a bit listless, possibly due to lack of sleep, with noticeable dark circles under his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Before he could ask.

The white youth gestured animatedly, his movements strange, and babbled incoherently: "Hello. Is this the Prince residence? Where Miss Diana Prince lives. My name is Barry Allen!"

"Barry Allen?" Xi Nian recalled that Aunt had mentioned entrusting Little Huang to a friend for a few days.

"This must be yours." Barry unzipped the pet carrier he was holding, and immediately, a small, orangish figure pounced out!

"Wait!" Barry was astonished and was about to use his abilities.

But he soon discovered that the orangish beast-like figure didn't pounce into the young man's arms with malice. Instead, it kept rubbing and burrowing into his armpit with its little head, letting out aggrieved "meow" sounds like a real cat.

"Hahaha, Little Huang, how have you been these past few days?" Xi Nian couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to vigorously rub its soft, furry head.

Barry stared blankly at the now harmless little cat.

If he hadn't been trying to outsmart this little guy for the past few days, and if his Super Speed wasn't immune to its energy absorption ability, even then, after expending a lot of effort, he would have almost thought it was just an ordinary little cat!

"Um, you know about its special characteristics, right?" Barry asked directly.

Xi Nian looked at Little Huang, who was acting cute and affectionate in his arms, and nodded without hiding anything.

"OK. Since it's safe with you, that's great." Barry breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave, not forgetting to wave his hand. "I'll be going now."

"Wait." Xi Nian called out to him, extending his hand with a smile. "My name is Xi Nian Prince. Thank you very much. It must have been tiring taking care of this little guy."

"How should I put it? It does have its charms."

After glancing at Little Huang, Barry clasped Xi Nian's hand and said quickly and sincerely, "Besides, Miss Diana once helped my father, so it's only right that I help look after her pet. Xi Nian, right? My place isn't far from here, it's number 26 on Central Street. If you ever have the chance, you're welcome to come over!"

"I'll remember that, friend. If there's ever a chance, I'll bring Little Huang to visit you," Xi Nian said, waving goodbye.

"Uh, Little Huang, maybe skip that. Of course, I'd still welcome you to come..." Barry's eye twitched.

After watching Barry enter the elevator and leave.

Xi Nian blinked, then looked down at Little Huang in his arms and said, "He's a good person, isn't he?"

"Meow!" Little Huang cried indignantly, as if protesting that it couldn't defeat him.

"It seems he's also a person with extraordinary power?" Xi Nian mused. After experiencing so much, encountering the extraordinary no longer surprised him.

After all, who in his household wasn't extraordinary now?
