Chapter 19: Gwen Gets Mad! Jessica: Brother, You Beast!
"Gwen...."
"Hmm~?"
"Jessica was right, the herbal soup does taste a bit strange...."
Gwen pouted, "Hmm Li, are you really complaining about me?"
"Maybe I added too many herbs; the smell is a bit strong."
"Should I go fix it then?"
"It's fine, we can just skip this step~."
"Li Mom is still downstairs," Gwen refused as Ye Li tried to take things further.
However, she wanted to make it up to the person she loved, so she had a mischievous idea. "Let's try a different way~."
…
The next morning.
Chief George asked his wife curiously, "Why does Gwen look so healthy? Did you buy some new supplements recently? If so, get me some; I need to bring a gift when I visit to talk about Jessica."
Jenny explained, "It's the herbal soup Li made for Gwen yesterday. It seems to be working well, but there's a small issue…."
George: "Small issue?"
Jenny: "Gwen's throat is a bit sore; she said it's because the soup caused a bit of internal heat. It's not a big deal."
George nodded and smiled in relief. "That's good. This young man Li is really thoughtful and caring."
...
In the room.
Ye Li woke up next to Jessica.
Last night was....
He remembered what happened last night—
After returning from Gwen's place yesterday.
Jessica took his words seriously and obediently slipped into the room...
Ye Li looked at the black stockings lying by the bed; sure enough, they were stained with large contrasting marks.
He felt an unusual sense of refreshment.
It made sense, considering he had shared intimate moments with two girls in a row.
Although it wasn't directly "that kind of thing," it was, in some ways, even more thrilling.
At that moment, Jessica also woke up groggily.
"You jerk of a brother!"
She recalled bits and pieces of last night and shook Ye Li's shoulders.
"I thought you were just joking about playing with my legs, but I didn't expect you to go this far!"
Ye Li replied casually, "Jessica, clearly it was you...."
"You beast! I'm your sister, even if not by blood… Wait, what did you say? It was me?"
Jessica stopped mid-scolding, rubbing her sleep-fogged head. "Huh, it does seem like I started it first...."
But she stubbornly added, "Eh… that's only because you were touching me all over, and I couldn't help it! Anyway, you're still a beast!"
"Don't say it like that. I didn't really do anything," Ye Li said, half-closing his eyes.
But after being so provoked by Gwen and with Jessica showing up at just the right moment, in the end...
Uh, in reality, he had only ended up dirtying Jessica's stockings.
"Don't be mad; I'll clean your stockings later, but you'll have to wash the bit stuck to your leg yourself."
"Get lost~"
Jessica put on her clothes and bared her teeth at him. "I don't want those anymore! I'll buy a new pair!"
"Buy new ones?"
Ye Li's eyes drifted to Jessica's smooth legs. "I can help you pick some~"
Jessica shivered under the gaze and said, "Ew You're so disgusting."
…
Although the siblings had opened the door to a new kind of dynamic, they still got up and went about their morning routine as usual, teasing each other along the way.
Later, George brought some small gifts over to visit and check on Jessica's situation.
He reminded Ye Li to keep an eye on his sister and not let Jessica run around trying to be a superhero again.
"Li, remember what I said. It's too dangerous for Jessica to get involved in those things. Don't let her act recklessly."
Chief George's meaning was simple—being a superhero was too complicated, and his little sister wouldn't be able to handle it.
"No problem, George."
Ye Li gently ruffled Jessica's hair. "Jessica is very obedient; she'll do what I say."
Jessica sat beside them in a well-behaved posture, looking like she was humbly taking the advice.
However, inwardly, she was pouting and not listening at all—after all, Gwen was the most famous superhero in New York these days. She wondered what Uncle George's reaction would be when he found out.
...
"George, take care. These are butter cookies Jessica baked."
As George was leaving, Ye Li handed him a bag of cookies and smiled.
"Why not take them to the station and share them with your colleagues?"
"Haha, sure!"
George happily accepted. "Jessica has always been sensible. I'm sure she understood what I said."
Ye Li maintained his smile ( ̄︶ ̄)—I'm pretty sure she didn't listen to a word you said.
…
After sending George off, Ye Li opened his system panel.
Yesterday's rewards hadn't been claimed yet, and a kill certainly counted as a defeat.
[You have defeated Gwen Stacy's fateful enemy. You may choose one of the following rewards:]
[1. Monetary reward: $1 million USD]
[2. Random reward: Weather Control]
[3. Follower reward: Convert Alexei Mikhailovich Sytsevich (Rhino)]
[You have defeated Gwen Stacy's fateful enemy. You may choose one of the following rewards:]
[1. Monetary reward: $1 million USD]
[2. Random reward: Invigorating Cola]
[3. Follower reward: Convert Norman Osborn (Green Goblin)]
This time, it wasn't a hard choice. He chose [2] and [3].
As Ye Li made his choice—
Norman Osborn's corpse, which was being prepared for storage, vanished instantly.
The person in charge was scared out of their wits!
"Young Master! Young Master! He's gone! Master Norman is gone!"
A while later.
Harry Osborn arrived at the coffin site, his face dark. "Damn it… bring up the surveillance footage immediately!"
