At this time, Strange had yet to experience the car accident that would change his life. He was still the proud, arrogant genius surgeon.

After passing Lu Xi in his Lamborghini, Strange actually honked twice on purpose.

The gesture seemed both boastful and provocative.

A curve lifted at Lu Xi's lips, and a competitive urge immediately surged within him. On the spot, he decided to accept the race.

His gaze sharpened as he pressed harder on the accelerator. The Bugatti lunged forward like an enraged Black Panther.

And so, the two cars chased each other down the highway, launching into a fierce street race.

Their speed kept climbing, quickly reaching 300 km/h.

At this point, Lu Xi handled it with ease, relying on his exceptional control.

But the car itself was beginning to struggle under such extreme speed, and the body started to sway slightly.

Daisy felt as if she were about to be flung right out of the car.

She squeezed her eyes shut, gripped the handrail with both hands, and screamed at the top of her lungs:

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Lu Xi frowned. The race had not even been decided yet. How could he surrender so easily?

Suddenly, an idea struck him. The Divine Power within him quietly spread out, steadily enveloping the entire car.

Something miraculous happened. The Bugatti, which had been swaying slightly, stabilized at once.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Xi's lips. This move really worked.

In an instant, the speed shot up like a wild horse breaking free of its reins, briefly reaching 350 km/h.

The Bugatti became a bolt of black lightning, instantly pulling level with the Lamborghini.

Lu Xi looked at Strange in the other car and wagged a finger, making his meaning obvious: Kid, your driving skills aren't good enough.

The moment Strange saw that gesture, his face flushed red. He floored the accelerator again, yet he could not shake Lu Xi no matter what he did.

Lu Xi stomped the accelerator all the way down, as though it had been welded in place.

This time, he left Strange far behind, gradually vanishing from sight.

Only after he had completely shaken him off did Lu Xi slowly ease up on the accelerator and decelerate.

Daisy's chest heaved violently, and her face had turned bright red from excessive tension.

She panted heavily and said with lingering fear:

"You scared me to death! You're completely insane!"

Lu Xi smiled and comforted her:

"Relax, you won't die. If anything really happens, I'll just go to Hell and drag you back."

Daisy's eyes lit up as she asked with great interest:

"Really? You can do that?"

Lu Xi was not entirely certain.

"Uh... probably."

Just then, flashing red and blue lights suddenly appeared behind the car, followed by a piercing siren.

Lu Xi had been pulled over by the NYPD for severely speeding.

A stern-looking officer walked over and knocked hard on the window.

"Sir, please show me your driver's license and insurance!"

Lu Xi froze. "Uh..."

He immediately realized what he had forgotten. He did not have a driver's license at all.

Just as Lu Xi was feeling awkward, a black S.H.I.E.L.D. SUV drove over and slowly came to a stop.

The door opened, and two agents in suits stepped out.

They first politely showed their credentials to the officer. Then, one of them stepped forward to speak with him.

"Officer, don't get worked up. We're FBI. He's one of us!"

When S.H.I.E.L.D. went out, impersonating other agencies was standard procedure.

The other agent quickly walked over to Lu Xi's window, respectfully handed him a driver's license, and said:

"My lord, this is the driver's license we arranged for you."

Lu Xi accepted it and said in surprise:

"Your service is pretty thorough, and you're efficient too. I'll give you a five-star review later."

The agent's face darkened as he said helplessly:

"My lord, uh... the human world has traffic laws."

Seemingly afraid Lu Xi might be upset, he hurriedly added:

"Otherwise, it would be troublesome for you to keep getting pulled over by the NYPD, wouldn't it?"

Lu Xi waved a hand and said with mild helplessness:

"Alright, alright, I get it." Then he started the car and drove toward the villa.

After arriving at the villa, Daisy's legs had gone weak. She could barely move and could not get out of the car at all.

"Lord Lucifer, I don't have any strength left!"

Seeing this, Lu Xi smiled helplessly and reached out to gently carry her out.

Daisy naturally nestled against him, her eyes filled with haziness and intoxication as she said in a soft, syrupy voice:

"That was so thrilling..."

As she spoke, her gaze seemed to cling to him, carrying a different sort of meaning.

Lu Xi instantly understood what that look meant. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he carried her straight into the house.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell across the four-meter-wide bed.

Daisy slowly woke up and got ready to climb out of bed, only to find her legs aching and her walk especially awkward.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xi tilted his head and wondered whether he had been too rough last night.

He thought to himself that it would be great if he had some kind of healing ability right now.

The moment that thought occurred to him, Lu Xi immediately wanted to give it a try.

He raised a hand, and a gentle strand of Divine Power, glowing with a faint light, softly flew toward Daisy.

In an instant, Daisy felt a warm current spread through her entire body. Her soreness and discomfort vanished without a trace.

Her eyes widened. It was as if she had instantly been restored to full health, and she asked in surprise:

"Oh? You have an ability like that too?"

Lu Xi was also quite satisfied as he watched Daisy's change, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"I only just figured it out."

New ability--Healing Spell acquired √

Daisy excitedly bounced in place twice, feeling the ease and vitality in her body, then volunteered:

"I'll make breakfast!"

Her first time had been with a mythical being. Not only did she not regret it, but every time she thought about it, she became incredibly excited.

Before long, breakfast was ready.

The two sat at the dining table and ate at a leisurely pace.

Strictly speaking, Lu Xi seemed to no longer need food for his body's needs.

But occasionally enjoying the pleasure brought by delicious food and satisfying his appetite was still a kind of enjoyment.

Lu Xi turned on the television, wanting to relax for a while.

Instead, he saw a news report about Tony Stark's mysterious disappearance in the Middle East.

His brows rose slightly. Looks like the plot of Iron Man has already begun.

Lu Xi had not given much thought to how he should deal with the original plot of the Marvel Universe.

If he got too deeply involved, it would inevitably trigger a butterfly effect.

If that happened, his advantage of knowing the future would likely disappear entirely.

If it brought that purple sweet potato Thanos here too early, he was not sure whether his current strength would be enough to defeat him.

But if he stayed completely out of it, then coming to the Marvel Universe would feel like a waste.

After considering it carefully, Lu Xi felt that it was time to find the Ancient One and ask her for advice on this matter.

After all, when it came to handling things like butterfly effects, the Sorcerer Supreme was undoubtedly an expert among experts.

He turned to Daisy and said:

"I need to go out for a while. Stay home and entertain yourself. Don't run around."

Daisy obediently nodded. "Got it."

When Lu Xi drove to the entrance of 177A Bleecker Street,

before he could raise a hand to knock, the front door slowly opened by itself.

The Ancient One was already waiting inside, as if she had long known Lu Xi would come at this time.
