Only… this real, comfortable sensation, and the sudden lustrous moisture clinging to the skin, couldn't possibly be faked…
It's not like some mushroom breaking through the forest soil that will naturally gather dew in the night...
…..
Boji~
A soft pop of the lips.
Susan panted lightly, her beautiful eyes rolling up a little, and shot Ye Li a sly glance.
Seeing his expression seemed somewhat dazed.
She smugly looked at Jane beside her and mouthed silently: [Your turn~]
[This…]
Hesitating, Jane slowly leaned toward those pale red lips... but only brushed them lightly before pulling her neck back again...
With a troubled look she glanced at Susan and mouthed: [I don't dare…]
Both beauties were high-IQ scientists; communicating like this was no problem.
Seeing her shrink back, Susan held her head over and encouraged her: [Don't be afraid, he can't see.]
Jane pulled a speechless face; wasn't this just covering one's ears while stealing a bell...
Jane: [If you want to kiss him, you kiss him... I'll watch at the side and learn for a bit...]
[Learn what, exactly, I picked it up all on my own too~] After mouthing this to Jane, Susan leaned in and kissed Ye Li again.
Jane clicked her tongue inwardly in awe…
How is that "self-taught"…
That's what you call natural talent…
…..
'Let me see if that girl Susan is the one pulling tricks...]'
Naturally Ye Li wouldn't just sit there; he directly opened his divine sense a notch.
At the same time.
Susan also gave him a little hint, making the necklace on her swan-like neck appear and disappear—
And there it was.
A dazzling sapphire necklace seemed to hang in midair all by itself, swaying back and forth…
If someone uninitiated saw this, they'd be scared and think it was a haunting…
But Ye Li, who knew the score, understood at a glance—Susan really was teasing him.
He was about to expose it, when he suddenly felt another soft touch…
'Hm? There are two people?'
Puzzled, Ye Li fully opened his divine sense—
And immediately saw Susan and Jane before him…
'Good one, Susan... we agreed on a one-on-one... and you secretly brought backup, trying to bully me with numbers...' someone grumbled inwardly.
Just then.
A purple figure shot over from the distant starry sky at high speed—
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh no, flying too fast—A!"
Bang!! ~ngh!
The girl crashed head-first into the glass porthole of Cabin No. 1; though she braked in time and checked her force, there was still a dull thud.
Fortunately, the crystal-like window was sturdy and didn't shatter.
However.
The three people in the room were all startled by her.
Especially Jane, whose light-blue eyes widened, because Ye Li couldn't control himself for a moment and just…
"Waa~ what are you doing?"
After shaking her head, Galacta curiously pressed both hands against the transparent porthole. "Are you eating? Such a unique dining habit… Which planet are you from?"
"And you are…?"
Having his mood ruined by Galacta's entrance, Ye Li wove spider-silk around himself and walked to the window to size her up.
He only needed a few glances.
And he recognized her—
Wasn't this the Devourer Girl?
That perky, perfect little nose, the charming violet eyes, plus the slim waist, long legs, and soft curves—every bonus point was exactly as expected…
No wonder she's one of Marvel's rare Moe Goddess-type girls... she really did look obedient and gorgeous...
While Ye Li was sizing up Galacta.
Galacta was sizing him up too.
Dang~
Dang~
"I'm Galacta; what's your name?"
The Devourer Girl tapped the glass and asked, "I can feel many powerful energies on you—can I take a look?"
Ye Li raised a brow. "I'm afraid if I take them out, you'll swallow them down in one gulp."
"Eh?"
A doubtful look entered the girl's eyes. "You know me?"
"Allow me to introduce myself—"
Ye Li folded his arms. "I'm Ye Li. On Earth you could say I'm a sort of God, and I more or less have a bit of precognitive ability."
"Earth?"
Galacta hadn't heard that name.
At this point she hadn't traveled to Earth yet.
But "God" she understood, and didn't think much of it.
"I've met plenty who call themselves Gods; quite a few evil ones I even ate."
Devourer Girl tilted her face, pressing one purple eye close to the window as she studied Ye Li curiously. "But none of them had a source of energy as special as the one on you... Let me have a look, I promise I won't sneak a bite."
"Alright, I'll let you take a look…"
Moved by her cute demeanor, Ye Li softened and took out two Infinity Stones to show her.
Galacta's character was trustworthy; she was, after all, a kind little loli who could endure cosmic-scale hunger.
Besides, with his strength, he wasn't afraid of her making a move.
"What a powerful energy!" Galacta stared at the Reality Stone and Mind Stone, her eyes going completely wide!
Only…
After a while.
She reluctantly tore her gaze away and fixed it back on Ye Li. "No, there's something even more special on you!"
"Even more special?"
Ye Li spread both hands, purple-gold divinity in one, chaos magic in the other, and showed her. "You mean these two?"
"Another insanely powerful force! ... Why do you have so many random things on you?" Devourer Girl was shocked yet again.
However.
She still shook her head to deny it. "But it's not these either… the special thing is still on you!"
"Still on me?" Ye Li was puzzled too.
He put his hands down and proceeded to show Galacta a whole series: the Twelve Talismans, the Eternal Flame, the Casket of Ancient Winters, and so on.
But she denied them all.
'What else could it be?… Right… there's that thing…'
Ye Li remembered a system reward from long ago and took it out—
[Constant-State Essence ×3]
[Constant-State Essence: After use, the body no longer needs to replenish energy or any required substances to maintain its normal state.]
He'd always forgotten about this thing. Thinking now, isn't Constant-State Essence perfect for someone like Galacta?
To her it was simply the God of All Divine Artifacts, enough to let her soar to the heavens in a single step; no wonder she craved it so much...
Sure enough.
Seeing the golden substance floating above Ye Li's palm, the Devourer Girl pressed her face right against the porthole, tears of frustration spilling from the corners of her mouth as she stared longingly. "Yes! That's it! Give it to me! Give it to me!"
But Ye Li closed his hand and put it away. "Sorry, it's mine."
He and Galacta weren't familiar at all right now—practically complete strangers—so how could he possibly give her something so valuable the moment they met?
"Don't be like that… You have so many—just give me one. It's really important to me." Galacta begged pitifully.
Ye Li shook his head. There were only three; if he was going to give one, it would be after triggering Galacta's [Insider Relationship Quest].
By then, he'd be able to load a Planet Devourer template.
"I want it… I want it…"
Crack… crack…
It was as if Galacta couldn't see Ye Li's refusal; her purple eyes were filled with longing as the fingers she had on the porthole unconsciously pressed harder, making faint cracks appear.
She did have principles, but only not to devour innocent life; when it came to a Constant-State Essence that could change her fate, it was impossible to say she didn't want to take it by force…
Seeing her itching to act and on the verge of losing control, Ye Li hurried to soothe her. "It's not that I won't give it to you—but not now."
"Not now?"
The moment Devourer Girl heard that he was willing to give it to her, she snapped back to herself and hurriedly asked, "Then when?"
