"Ha? Really?"
Tony asked suspiciously: "You're not like that Black Spider, an alien too, are you?"
Ye Li's eyes turned strange, "Who told you Black Spider was an alien?"
"I guessed it myself."
Tony crooked his finger at him, "So, what's the thing you're giving me?"
Ye Li flicked his thumb and shot over a divine seed.
Tony sidestepped, letting the seed land on the worktable.
Ye Li: "You don't want it?"
"Uh… sorry, habit. I don't like taking things directly from others..."
Tony pinched the seed between his fingers, "So—what is this?"
"Didn't you quit halfway from Kamar-Taj, cutting off your magic studies? This is a spell seed, a shortcut, it'll let you..."
Ye Li explained.
After Tony listened, he showed delight and said, "That really is a good thing.... Those spider-silks you gave me, I've had no clue—with this, maybe I can make some progress!"
"Do your best." Ye Li didn't care much about this.
With his magical attainments now, he could spin destiny threads however he liked, so Tony's tinkering didn't matter much.
"Well, I'm off."
Ye Li flicked out a card with an address, like a dart, embedding it into the worktable.
"If anything happens, find Stephen. He usually stays at the New York Sanctum. Fly over in your armor, it won't take long."
"Li, wait."
Tony stopped him as he was about to leave. "I want to borrow one more thing, can I?"
Ye Li paused, turned back, "What?"
Tony's eyes flickered, "That scepter from Loki, the one with the Mind Stone. I want to study it."
"The Mind Scepter, huh?"
Ye Li reached into the void, pulling out a bar of blue light—
When it faded, the Mind Scepter appeared in his hand.
He lifted his wrist. The Mind Stone on his bracelet shot rays of energy into the scepter's tip, making its psychic power surge.
Then he casually tossed it to Tony.
"I don't need this anyway. If you want it, play with it. I even strengthened it a bit, don't waste it. Use its power to practice magic."
Ye Li didn't probe Tony's thoughts, assuming he just wanted it for spells.
But this time, Tony caught it firmly with both hands. Clearly, it meant a lot to him.
…..
Huen~
His consciousness returned to the Divine Realm.
Ye Li glanced at the soda bottle in his hand, twisted it open, and took a swig while staring out the cabin's porthole.
The cover slid back, revealing crystal-clear glass.
Outside—
A white-haired woman in a purple battle-dress of magic sprinted across the starry web-bridges like a playful child.
Behind her, spider-thread tendrils chased relentlessly.
Ye Li grinned, took a deep gulp, and smacked his lips, "Tsk~"
…..
"Ah! Damn it! Did I lose them?"
Clea ran desperately, but glanced back at the sticky tendrils—
Only, with just one glance at the spider-silk tendrils whose tips were damp with moisture, she recalled the unbearable scene from before,
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.... and the tendrils seized the chance to coil around her shapely long legs again....
"Bastard! I know it's you controlling them!" Clea screamed furiously, clearly enraged at Ye Li's teasing.
…..
"You talk tough, but your body's honest. You're enjoying it~"
Ye Li finished the soda, dispersed the glass into nothing, and spread his divine sense again—
—Once he finished giving instructions at the club, he could set out.
…..
Outside the window—
The curses didn't last long before turning into soft moans....
…..
Ghost Spider Club.
When he arrived, Ye Li didn't do much—
He just left behind the spell for borrowing the power of the World Weaver.
Any member with a high enough rank could freely access it.
Casting a wide net for those interested and letting the willing bite the hook, he wouldn't have to talk each one into it.
…..
With that done, Ye Li was about to leave.
But then.
Two people arrived at the club doors, making him stop.
'The Storm siblings are already here....' Ye Li was a little surprised.
He thought for a moment, then flashed directly before Susan and Johnny.
"President Ye!"
Johnny greeted happily. "After thinking it over, we realized joining the club is a great idea, so here we are."
Susan also smiled and nodded, "It's an honor to meet you personally."
Ye Li's serious reception left her in a good mood.
"Since you're here, of course I'll greet you myself. Come in."
As he spoke—
Light shifted, and the siblings suddenly found themselves in a quiet chamber.
"This superpower is sick!" Johnny praised.
Susan sat gracefully, beaming at Ye Li. "President Ye, you handle your power so well. Could you teach us? We're still not steady with ours."
"Actually, before you came, I already planned something for you two."
Ye Li handed Johnny a dossier from the Investigation Division. "This is what I mentioned before. If you join the club, this is a good place for you."
Johnny skimmed it. "Doesn't seem too flashy..."
"Flashy or not is your choice. The group won't stop you from being public."
Ye Li added, "As long as you don't leak secrets."
"Good enough." Johnny nodded, satisfied.
"What about me?"
Susan asked curiously, "Do I join this group too?"
Ye Li: "Not really suitable for you, it's full of rough guys."
Susan grew even more curious: "Then I..."
Ye Li didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he shot Johnny a glance.
The Human Torch, a born playboy, instantly got the hint.
With a knowing grin, he said, "I get it. You two take your time talking, I'll go for a walk~"
