The sudden increase in the true qi in Ling Xiao's body made the little naughty ability a little unable to adapt for a while, and the power of absorption weakened a little, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Xiao suddenly got rid of the entanglement of the little naughty.

Subconsciously took two steps back, Ling Xiao looked at the little naughty with a stern face, and scolded: "Are you crazy?" ”

However, the little naughty didn't care about Ling Xiao's stern tone at all, and looked at him and asked in a daze, "How did you do it?" ”

I know my own ability, and few people can take the initiative to get out of her contact, even Wolverine can't do it, there has been that time before, if it weren't for Wolverine's super self-healing ability, I'm afraid he would have been sucked to death by her that time.

And Ling Xiao is different, this is the second time, the last time, because he was in the environment of being hunted down, the little naughty didn't care much about that contact with Ling Xiao, but after a fight with the iceman, the little naughty recalled that incident, but unexpectedly felt that Ling Xiao was special.

"Ling, what is your ability, can I be like you?" Xiao Naughty opened her hand, although she felt the energy surge in her body, but she couldn't use it as freely as Ling Xiao.

"Humph!" Ling Xiao sneered, he wouldn't reveal his ability, and after glancing at the little naughty, Ling Xiao left the room directly.

Since then, the little mischievous has often appeared around Ling Xiao and Jenny, and deliberately appears to be very close to Ling Xiao, especially in front of the Iceman and the Phantom Cat.

For the wayward approach of the little naughty, Ling Xiao and Jenny could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and after a little discussion, Ling Xiao left the Mutant Academy.

Back in New York, Ling Xiao rushed to Stark Building as soon as possible, Pepper called him back, although he didn't say anything, but Ling Xiao could feel the unhappiness in her tone.

"Ling, anyway, you have to have a snack about the super soldier serum, you made the suggestion, but you disappeared after you went twice, and I can't explain this to the board of directors." Pepper looked at Ling Xiao with an unhappy expression.

"What the hell is going on, Miss Potts?" Ling Xiao looked at Pepper in some surprise, Pepper should know about the super soldier serum. Stark didn't want Ling Xiao to get involved in it, he had better care more about the research direction and not meddle in specific affairs, which was what Stark wanted to see the most, and Pepper shouldn't have an opinion.

"Alas!" Pepper sighed, waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Ling, I didn't mean to be angry with you, it's Tony, he has to go to Monaco to participate in the car race, I have to work hard to persuade him to let someone else go to the race instead of him, and make him insist that he must go to the Monaco racing scene." I hope you can check his health for me before I go, so that I don't have any accidents on a trip to Europe. ”

"There shouldn't be any problems, after all, it's been a few days since the last treatment." Seeing that Pepper's face sank, Ling Xiao hurriedly changed his words and said, "But it's okay, let's see the growth rate of the palladium element in his body, whether he needs to do another emergency treatment." ”

"That's the best, Ling, you can go up yourself." Pepper waved his hand and motioned for Ling Xiao to leave.

In addition to Pepper's office, Ling Xiao took the elevator to Stark's private living area on the top floor, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hogan standing at the top of the stairs, and in the room, there was a burst of laughter from men and women.

The man is naturally Tony Stark himself, and the woman is not an outsider, it is really a black widow, Natasha Romanoff.

I don't know what joke Tony said, which made Natasha smile, and her wonderful body was unintentional in front of Tony, especially the third button that had not been untied above the neckline, which was even tighter, and it seemed that it was going to be broken in the next moment, revealing the wonderful scenery inside.

"Bang bang." Unfortunately, there was a knock on the door at this time, and Hogan poked his head in and said to Stark, "Hey, Tony, Ling is here!" ”

Seeing Ling Xiao standing at the elevator entrance, Tony coughed twice in embarrassment, restrained the smile on his face, and said to Natasha, "Natalie, you can go down first." ”

After saying that, Stark swiped a few words on the document and handed it to Natasha, before beckoning Ling Xiao to come in.

Natasha was very knowledgeable and did not force herself to stay, and after taking the papers, she turned around, twisted her waist and walked outside.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly at Natasha, walked to Stark's desk, and saw the elevator door close out of the corner of his eye, before he asked Stark, "Mr. Stark, how are you feeling in the last few days, how has the concentration of palladium in your body increased?" ”

"It's okay." Stark said a little hesitantly, seeing Ling Xiao raise his head and look at him with doubts, Stark smiled helplessly, took out the detector, took out a drop of blood on his body, measured it, and then handed the detector over, and at the same time said with some pleading: "Don't tell Pepper." ”

19%, seeing the numbers on the detector, Ling Xiao immediately frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Stark......"

"Call me Tony." Stark also knew that what he was doing was wrong, and explained slightly: "I have indeed used steel armor a bit too much in the past few days, and I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Seeing Stark say this, Ling Xiao could only swallow what he was going to say, but he still reminded in a deep voice: "Stark first...... Oh, Tony, I hope you can come to Los Angeles as soon as you come back from Europe, and I will continue to help you clean up the toxins from your body so that your safety is not endangered. ”

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Ling, after I return to Los Angeles, I will definitely go to your pharmacy in person." Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Stark knew that Ling Xiao would help him hide it, so he quickly nodded.

"You don't have to go to my pharmacy, I bought a villa near Matador Beach not long ago, not far from Malibu, you go back to Los Angeles and just call me." Ling Xiao didn't want Stark to appear in his pharmacy, and now he was planning something, and he didn't want Stark to suddenly appear and attract too many people's attention, which would make him feel constrained.

"Oh! Did you also buy a villa over there? How much is it, what is the location, and what about the decoration? Stark asked with sudden interest.

"The location is ok, just around the corner from Matador Beach and right next to Peberdine University. But the others can't be compared with you, your villa is probably calculated in tens of millions of dollars, and mine, I'm afraid it's less than a quarter. Ling Xiao shook his head, he was richer than Stark, he was looking for guilt, he was not interested.

Stark's trip to Monaco was just a stop on his European trip. Some time ago, in order to be busy with the Stark Expo, he and Pepper didn't have time to rest for a long time, and this time they just went to Europe to relax, and at the same time avoid some turmoil.

Knowing that Ling Xiao had returned to New York, Zhou Qian rushed over after work that night. After the two had a French meal outside, they returned to the rented apartment, took a mandarin duck bath, and after some extreme lingering, the two fell asleep deeply.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Ling Xiao got up alone, came to the living room, sat cross-legged in the moonlight, and began to practice slowly, his current cultivation has reached the realm of the eighth-layer Great Perfection of Qi Training, and there is only one layer of window paper away from breaking through the ninth layer of Qi training.

After returning to Los Angeles, Ling Xiao planned to retreat directly, without breaking through the ninth layer of Qi training, and never leaving the level.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the time of an hour seemed to be fleeting, Ling Xiao gently opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity, this night's cultivation was over. Just as he stood up and was about to return to the bedroom, his brows suddenly furrowed, he opened the door, walked to the balcony, and looked into the distance, a figure was a little staggering approaching quickly, with induction, Ling Xiao knew that the person was the shadow he buried next to Sato Runze, the ninja Keiko Takahashi.
