"Damn it! What happened?"
Coulson jumped up from his chair in a fluster, flames swirling around his upper body, clothes, and hair.
Qin Xiao stood nervously beside Coulson, trying to help Coulson extinguish the flames on his body.
But the more they filmed, the bigger the fire became.
"Get out of the way!"
"Sizzle~~~~~!"
Tony yelled and grabbed a fire extinguisher, spraying it wildly at the flames, which saved Coulson's life.
The collar of his clothes was burned quite a bit, but as for his hair...
The Buddha's hairstyle was simply a bit sparser, and with a touch of singed pig bristles, that would have been perfect.
Fortunately, the person was not seriously injured. Apart from some redness on the neck and scalp, there were no further burns.
Qin Xiao had just returned from reinforcing Asgard when his phone was flooded with messages from Coulson, urging him to return to the base in New York immediately.
Qin Xiao had the Ancient One take him directly to the vicinity of the base.
He met up with Tony at the base, and after meeting Coulson, before he could even explain what he had encountered in Asgard, the scene above unfolded.
"Qin, you damned bastard who deserves to go to hell! If you wanted me to keep my bet, you could have just told me. Why did you set fire to me from behind? Damn it! I just bought this suit!"
Honest Coulson's eyes were blazing with anger, his face flushed red like a monkey's bottom, and his singed curly hair added to the comical effect.
"I didn't set the fire, I just walked up behind you, believe me!"
Qin Xiao innocently raised his right index and middle fingers and swore to the heavens.
"I can attest that he didn't set anything on fire. He didn't even have... Damn it, your hand is on fire, Qin!"
Tony looked at Qin Xiao in horror halfway through his sentence and exclaimed.
On Qin Xiao's raised index and middle fingers, a small flame was playfully flickering.
"Oh, damn it!"
Qin Xiao hadn't yet adjusted to his new identity as the God of Fire, and instinctively shook his finger to extinguish the flame.
"You still insist it wasn't you!!!"
Coulson jumped up and grabbed his pistol from the table.
"Calm down, Coulson, listen to me, this was an accident!"
Qin Xiao immediately realized what was happening.
"Go explain to God, you bastard..."
Coulson showed no intention of listening to Qin Xiao's explanation.
"Bang!"
Tony, still holding the fire extinguisher, aimed it at Coulson and struck him hard on the back of the head.
"What are you doing, Tony? I was just about to explain to him!"
Qin Xiao said helplessly.
"He really will shoot. I heard this guy spends most of his salary on hair care. He'll kill you, buddy! He needs to calm down!"
"But I'm not afraid of bullets, he couldn't possibly kill me..."
"I forgot about that, sorry. I meant Coulson. How about we go out for coffee and come back later?"
Tony glanced at Coulson had a large bump on the back of his head, on the ground with some concern.
Half an hour later...
Qin Xiao sat down on the fire-resistant ground, looking utterly dejected.
Having calmed down, Coulson sat on the sofa next to him, holding an ice pack to the back of his head, staring intently at Qin Xiao.
That mournful look reminded Qin Xiao of the scene in " Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons the Wen Zhang " where the woman whose husband had died questioned Tang Sanzang, played by Wen Zhang, at the beginning.
Tony stood next to Qin Xiao, twirling a cigar in his hand.
None of the three spoke, except for Tony and Coulson, who kept their eyes fixed on Qin Xiao.
The eerie atmosphere lasted for about a minute.
A small flame, about the size of a medicine bottle, suddenly appeared above Qin Xiao's head.
"Here it comes! I told you so, Coulson, look!"
Tony gestured to Coulson to check the flames on Qin Xiao's head, while simultaneously placing a cigar on Qin Xiao's head to warm it.
While Coulson was unconscious, Qin Xiao explained to Tony his experiences in Asgard, including how he had obtained the position of a god of fire.
During this process, small flames appeared on Qin Xiao's body twice.
After Coulson woke up, Qin Xiao explained it again.
However, Coulson absolutely refused to believe that flames would spontaneously erupt from Qin Xiao's body.
I've been waiting for ages, and it's still happening now...
You mean...?
Seeing that Qin Xiao could actually emit flames, Coulson stood up to take a closer look.
"Auntie, believe me, I don't have a husband... No, I mean, what do you want to ask? Didn't I just tell you?"
Qin Xiao was so engrossed in his imagination that he blurted out lines from the movie, and quickly switched back to reality.
"What I want to ask is, Odin sealed his daughter in Hel, one of the Nine Realms. If Hela were to emerge one day, the Nine Realms would be invaded by an evil god who seems to rule over everything, and we would be at war, right?"
"That's right, but Odin can still suppress it for now, so we don't need to worry about that for the time being."
Qin Xiao spread his hands and said.
The flames on his head went out, but a new flame rose from Qin Xiao's crotch.
Tony was just about to light his grilled cigar when he saw the fire and immediately shrank back, grinning as he pointed at Qin Xiao's crotch.
"I think I smell roast chicken. Congratulations, Qin! At least you won't need to turn on the air conditioner or light the fireplace in winter anymore!"
"Shut up, Tony, get on with your test! I can't even go out looking like this!"
Of course, testing is necessary.
The flames on Qin Xiao's body were clearly due to his initial mastery of fire and his inability to fully control it.
After being tested by JARVIS for several hours using equipment professionally designed by Tony, Qin Xiao...
A conclusion was reached.
The location and timing of the flames' appearance were completely random, possibly related to Qin Xiao's emotions.
The temperature ranges from approximately 280 to 1500 degrees Celsius, and is quite random.
This shows how little control Qin Xiao has over his own abilities at this moment.
However, according to JARVIS and Tony's analysis, as long as Qin Xiao continues to use flames in the coming days, this out-of-control behavior will gradually disappear in the next few days.
This aligns with the answer provided by the system.
For the next few days, Qin Xiao stayed in a special room that Tony had built using fire-resistant materials.
They continuously use and test their new abilities.
Therefore, in the Avengers ' secret base in New York, Qin Xiao could often be heard making some childish and chuunibyou-esque noises.
A small flame burned between the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Qin Xiao held his breath, his eyes fixed on the wall in front of him.
" Orochinagi!"
A tiny flame, too small to extinguish even a mosquito, flashed and disappeared on the wall.
Aragami! Oniyaki! Hasshōhai!
I just checked, and the combustion temperature of kerosene and air can reach 1700 degrees Celsius, so the initial 1500 was obviously not very accurate! But then I saw that the flame of a lighter only seemed to be a few hundred degrees. Based on the principle of letting Qin Xiao develop slowly while maintaining his strength advantage over his enemies, I decided not to change the temperature from the previous chapter, which is reasonable!
By the way, the Black Widow solo movie has already been released in North America. The story's timeline is between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War: Infinity War. I've decided to bring this part of the plot forward. After all, for Qin Xiao and Black Widow to get closer Mind Stone, we need to delve deeper into Black Widow's story and fully open her heart. Besides, having Qin Xiao save an organization full of female spies who have been brainwashed and controlled sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
