Legal Husband and Wife
After Xiao He returned from the M Country, an endless war of words ensued.
M Country expressed deep dissatisfaction with Yinglong's visit, claiming that "everything is under control" and that the M Country army and the Mutant are "fully capable of handling the situation," while Yinglong's actions constitute an act of aggression.
Both sides engaged in round after round of speeches on this issue, but ultimately this action would not yield any practical results.
Because in reality, the M Country doesn't really want to get to the bottom of this; they just want to divert attention from the problem.
After Claude Moriarty's antics, the whole world (except for Dragon Country) is forced to confront a very serious question: Is our "hero" really strong enough...?
While everyone knows that thinking this way is somewhat impolite and disrespectful to heroes, what Claude Moriarty said is undoubtedly true: what is the point of a hero who cannot defeat the enemy?
Previously, the Mutant only had to deal with problems involving ordinary people and other Mutant. Even LV1 Mutant could make a difference. But now, the emergence of "Mutator" has instantly changed the ecology of the world.
Although Mutator do not possess Superpower, their physical constitution is at least LV4, and powerful Mutator can even reach LV6. This forces us to reconsider the strength of Mutant.
However, these are all issues that foreign countries need to address.
Because Xiao He had trespassed into the M Country without permission, Cui Man asked him to keep a low profile for the time being and not to act rashly.
On the one hand, we need to wait for the storm to pass, and on the other hand, we need to wait for the current situation to stabilize.
Anyway, with the "Steel Yinglong" here in the Dragon Country, there's absolutely no need to worry about security.
A week after the incident, Xiao He accompanied Ye Wanqing to class.
"Old Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Ye Wanqing pinched Xiao He's ear and asked.
"I was thinking, my Xiaoqing will turn twenty this Saturday, we can go get our marriage certificate..." Xiao He said seriously, resting his chin on his hand, "But which day should we go?"
"Which day do you want to go...?" Ye Wanqing asked shyly, counting on her small hands.
"Of course I want to go on your birthday," Xiao He said, gently rubbing her cheek.
"You two..." At this moment, Yin Jia suddenly leaned in, "So affectionate in public?"
"It's all his fault!" Ye Wanqing slapped Xiao He and pushed him away slightly. "How annoying! He's always getting handsy in the classroom!"
"It's just touching your little face, what's so shameful about it..." Xiao He said with a wry smile, then greeted Yin Jia and Zhou Huimei, "Long time no see, what have you two been up to lately?"
"What? Isn't that because you and Wanqing always skip class?" Zhou Huimei said, pouting.
"So, what were you two talking about just now?" Yin Jia pressed.
"I... I'm saying..." Ye Wanqing stammered, her face flushed red to the roots of her ears.
Xiao He couldn't bear to see her like this, so he answered on her behalf, "We're talking about getting our marriage certificate."
Xiao He could almost see a plume of steam rising from Ye Wanqing's head; the little girl was so shy her mind was completely blank. Yin Jia couldn't help but exclaim, "Really? You're going to get your marriage certificate?! Congratulations!"
"When did you propose?! You didn't even tell us!" Zhou Huimei quickly asked.
"It's just... a while ago..." Ye Wanqing mumbled, cupping her face in her hands.
"Where's the ring? Let us see it!" the three little girls clamored from the side.
"Purple gemstones are so rare." "Yes, I've seen amethyst before, but not like this." Yin Jia and Zhou Huimei whispered to each other as they examined Ye Wanqing's ring, then came to the crucial question, "How much does this ring cost?"
"It doesn't matter how much it costs, because it was a gift from Old Xiao." Ye Wanqing held the ring in her hand and smiled happily. "Even if it's a ring made of candy, it's still the most precious thing to me."
"Let's get married..." Xiao He blurted out subconsciously. Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, pinched his cheek, and replied, "I already agreed. Are you stupid?"
Xiao He simply smiled at her, and Ye Wanqing also couldn't help but chuckle, looking at him with a smile.
At this moment, they only had eyes for each other, nothing else mattered...
They were awakened by the school bell.
After class, Xiao He and Ye Wanqing returned home. They had just started changing their shoes when Xiao He suddenly hugged Ye Wanqing around the waist.
"Xiaoqing..." Xiao He gently kissed Ye Wanqing's cheek, "Let's get our marriage certificate on your birthday?"
Ye Wanqing didn't seem surprised. She gently stroked Xiao He's face and teased, "What, can't wait? I'm in a rush to get my marriage certificate on my twentieth birthday..."
"It's a birthday present for you, a marriage certificate." Xiao He buried his face in Ye Wanqing's neck, gently inhaling the faint scent of plants and mint.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him sideways. "Is this all you got for your birthday?"
"How could that be?" Xiao He said seriously, "There's also a bunny girl cosplay outfit."
"Is that your gift or mine?!" Ye Wanqing angrily punched his shoulder.
"I'll give you a follow-up gift if you wear it," Xiao He teased, gently flicking Ye Wanqing's nose.
Ye Wanqing puffed out her cheeks. "I don't want a gift like that! Humph..."
Xiao He smiled, reached out and gently poked her cheeks with both hands, and Ye Wanqing let out a "pfft!" sound of dejection.
"... What are you doing!? How annoying!" Ye Wanqing, with her eyes closed, swung her fists and punched him.
But Xiao He's expression suddenly turned serious. He lowered his head to avoid Ye Wanqing's fist, then with a swing, he opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"Sweetheart, sweetheart." Xiao He gently stroked the back of her head to soothe her. Ye Wanqing shrank into his arms like a frightened little rabbit, and punched him resentfully. "You actually used those fighting techniques on your own wife, you scumbag..."
"You know I would never hurt you," Xiao He said with a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
"I know..." Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded.
Meanwhile, inside a church in London, United Kingdom.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference..." Raphael prayed silently before the cross, while behind him, another figure slowly approached. Raphael replied calmly, "How is the new body?"
"It's alright..." Andre muttered softly, "What about Sylvia? Aren't we going to rescue her? The Mother Faction will be unhappy..."
"Then who caused this consequence?" Raphael asked coldly.
"Um..." Andre stammered, unable to speak.
"He's unlikely to amount to much," Raphael scoffed.
"Don't blame him too much. As the saying goes, jealousy blinds people..." At this moment, a third voice suddenly came from the scene. Andre and Raphael were startled and stood up, turning their heads to look.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness behind him. Claude lowered his hat and smiled, "Good evening, gentlemen."
"How did you find this place?" Raphael asked with a grim face.
"That's a strange question," Claude said with a slight smile. "We're Mutant; we could just grab any follower and ask them, right?"
After a pause, Claude replied to someone who wasn't there, "I know, it's because of your abilities, Anika."
"You filthy thing... you don't deserve to stand here!?" Andre said through gritted teeth, then lunged at Claude.
But Claude's figure flashed and he appeared in the front row of the church, in the seat next to Raphael.
"God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Before you I confess all my sins and will not hide my evil..." Claude raised his hands in devout prayer.
"You..." Andre's forehead veins bulged with anger. He raised his right hand at Claude, and a huge fireball condensed in his hand.
But then Claude's demeanor changed. Gone was his elegant composure; he suddenly became agitated, his expression turning grimacing. He opened his mouth and took a bite, a loud "crunch" echoing from his teeth. "I'm so hungry, I'll eat you..."
The next moment, the fireball in Andre's hand vanished along with the left half of Andre body, as if bitten by an invisible mouth. Upon closer inspection, one could see a huge shadow slowly twisting behind Claude in the darkness of the church. The shadow resembled a giant pair of scissors or the mouth of a crocodile, coldly grinning.
"Thud!" Claude took another bite, and this time Andre's entire body was gone, leaving only his two feet on the ground.
"And who are you?" Raphael asked coldly.
"Wade Moriarty," the man stood up and laughed, his expression fierce, "I don't have Claude's temper. Hunger makes me very irritable."
Raphael's face darkened, and he stared at Wade, asking, "What is your purpose in coming here?"
"I'm here to help you with something," Wade said with a slight smile, walking up to Raphael and circling him. "Didn't you want to kill those Mutant? I know a place that holds almost all the Mutant criminals."
"You mean the prisoners Yinglong transferred?" Raphael scoffed. "Nobody knows where they are. Even my spies at the United Nations couldn't get any information about that prison."
"But I have a way to get some..." Wade licked his lips and grinned, looking at Raphael with a greedy expression. "You look delicious... I like lean meat."
After a pause, Wade angrily roared at the air beside him, "I know, I'm not going to eat him! Don't you dare boss me around!"
"Why did you do this?" Raphael stared at him coldly and asked, "You know you're my enemy too."
"Because," Wade whispered with a smile in Raphael's ear, "Only I can help you get rid of 'Yinglong'."
After saying that, Wade leaned close to Raphael's ear and whispered a few words.
But Raphael's expression darkened, and then the archangel's silhouette appeared behind him, a dazzling beam of light flying towards Wade.
Wade opened his mouth and took a bite, and the dark figure behind him instantly pounced out and swallowed the beam of light.
"To ask me to cooperate with those vile Mutator... Impossible!" Raphael said, raising his right hand to the sky, "Seraphim's Judgment!"
A lightsaber appeared in his hand, but Wade suddenly transformed back into Claude. He adjusted his hat, puzzled, and said, "Why? Mutator are like a cataclysmic flood, just another natural disaster. I don't need your help, just don't interfere."
"Die! You filthy demon!" Raphael roared as he swung his lightsaber down.
But Claude vanished from the scene in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared in Paris, at the top of the Eiffel Tower, one hand on his hat and the other on the tower.
"It's alright, he just doesn't understand us," Claude said with a smile. "He doesn't understand why we're doing this. Let us show him, and he'll understand."
At this point, Claude lowered his head and smiled, "Let's offer the whole world a 'Soul Interrogation'..."
June 25th, 10 PM.
"Hehe, baby, I'm here." Xiao He rubbed his hands together and moved closer to Ye Wanqing on the bed.
"You're being so lewd," Ye Wanqing said coquettishly, raising her little foot to kick his face, stopping him from getting any closer.
"How dare you! You're so disrespectful to your husband!" Xiao He laughed, holding Ye Wanqing's ankle, then kissed her calf. "These calves and ankles are just too beautiful."
Ye Wanqing pouted, and Xiao He immediately leaned in and kissed her, after which the two became entangled together.
After a while of tender entanglement, Xiao He patted the area in front of him, and Ye Wanqing tacitly sat in his lap, turning her head to kiss him lightly. Xiao He, meanwhile, savored her soft lips while feeling the power of justice in his hands.
Ye Wanqing cooperated with him in his arms, becoming more and more proactive, and then simply pounced on him...
Afterwards, the two rested for a while. Xiao He checked the time; it was exactly twelve o'clock. He then handed Ye Wanqing a box. "Happy birthday, Little Pufferfish..."
"Thank you, honey..." Ye Wanqing said sweetly, taking the box and opening it. Inside was a property deed.
"What's this?" Ye Wanqing asked in surprise. Xiao He pressed his face against her cheek and smiled, "This is the property certificate for this house. I had Sister Man transfer the ownership of this house to us. Don't you like it here?"
Ye Wanqing turned to Xiao He with delight. "Really?! Sister Man agreed? But, where will she stay?"
"Of course she has other houses, and besides, our house is her house." Xiao He gently scratched her chin and smiled. "However, I feel that this place has extraordinary significance for both of us, so... I want to keep it."
"Yes!" Ye Wanqing nodded with a smile, "After all, this is where we met and started dating..."
"So, we're going to get our marriage certificate today?" Xiao He said with a smile, resting Ye Wanqing's chin on his hand.
"Yes!" Ye Wanqing nodded happily, then nestled against his chest and giggled mischievously, "One more time?"
"Come!" Xiao He replied after taking a deep breath.
The next morning, Xiao He and Ye Wanqing arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Of course, the Special Response Department could actually do them a favor and help them get their marriage certificate quickly.
However, at least on this day, Xiao He wanted to experience it with Ye Wanqing, even if it meant queuing at the Civil Affairs Bureau all morning.
At this moment, both of them felt exceptionally excited, even though they hadn't gone to sleep until after 3 a. m. the night before.
However, they didn't actually have to wait all morning; two hours later, they received their marriage certificates.
"Hehe..." Looking at the two red books in her hand, Ye Wanqing smiled broadly.
"They made me look so fat in the photos..." Xiao He muttered indignantly. "I'm only 75kg now, and my body fat percentage is only 10%... No, I have to ask Sister Man to find someone to Photoshop me."
At this moment, Ye Wanqing turned to look at him and smiled slightly, "Husband..."
Xiao He immediately felt a tingling sensation travel from his back to the top of his head. He turned to Ye Wanqing and smiled, "Say it again."
"Husband!" Ye Wanqing said sweetly, holding the two red marriage certificates. "Husband, husband, husband!"
"Hey! My husband's here!" Xiao He felt like he could fly without using his Superpower. He scooped Ye Wanqing up in a princess carry and sped forward. "Let's go home and have a baby!"
"Oh dear! Don't say things like that in the street!" Ye Wanqing said coquettishly, blushing.
But as soon as they got home and opened the door, a burst of firecrackers erupted from inside, showering the two of them with confetti and champagne. The Special Response Department staff erupted in applause: "Happy Birthday!" "Happy Wedding!"
"You scared me!" Ye Wanqing said, clutching her chest. "When did you...?"
"Your husband!" Cui Man poked Xiao He's face and said irritably, "He's been reminding us of today's plans a month in advance, just like you!"
It wasn't just Xia Yu and Xie Haining who came today; Xie Haining's family, Han Tianyu, and An Xiuru also came.
"Starting next week, the Mutant from the Special Response Department will be dispatched to various parts of the country," Cui Man explained. "So this meal is also a farewell for everyone. Although I know saying this at this time might be a bit of a downer, but... all good things must come to an end. We Mutant from the Special Response Department, together we are a blazing fire, scattered we are stars across the sky, and I am proud of each and every one of you."
Everyone clinked glasses, then Cui Man turned to Ye Wanqing and Xiao He: "Congratulations on your marriage! Although you haven't had a wedding ceremony yet, from today onwards, you are legally married. You can do whatever you want without any problems, okay?"
"Sister Man, what are you saying?" Xiao He frowned. "There were no problems before."
"It means we've done everything we could," An Xiuru nodded and said. "No wonder he's the only one who can get Yinglong to get an erection."
Ye Wanqing blushed instantly, but surprisingly, she didn't back down. Instead, she took Xiao He's arm and said, "That's natural, after all, I'm his wife too..."
"Hey!? Wanqing!" "Not bad, little girl!" "The child has grown up." Everyone teased her, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
