Chapter 46: Tony and the Queen, Addicted to Lan Xingyu's Beauty
Panicked, very panicked, extremely panicked. Right now, Lan Xingyu was panicking like crazy. For the first time, he complained about why his perception was so strong.
He kept feeling like a gaze was fixed on him, the kind that made his whole body break out in goosebumps. But when he looked up, he only saw Tony burying his head in his food, and Pepper Potts, who seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, smiling at Tony the whole time.
Hmm? Could Pepper Potts be pregnant this early? Why does she keep smiling at Tony? But that's not right either. It's one thing to smile at Tony, but why does she keep looking at me every now and then? Could it be that she knows she's having a girl and wants to raise me as a child husband? No, no, I have to find a chance to nip that idea of Sister Potts in the bud; I'm already taken.
But who is that gaze that keeps watching me? Strange, there's no unfamiliar presence for miles around, right? Tony? But when I look up, he's always got his head down eating, right? And he seems to be in such a rush, too. Besides, he has no reason to keep staring at me, right? What's going on today?
Fortunately, Lan Xingyu didn't sense any malice, otherwise he might have sent Tony and the others off to Kamar-Taj.
Today's breakfast was the most unsettling meal Lan Xingyu had eaten since coming to Tony's place.
After eating, Lan Xingyu took Amber and the Creature out. He needed to investigate exactly what was going on.
Tony watched from the table as Xingyu, kicking his two short little legs, ran out while holding Amber and leading the Panda, his eyes practically bursting with adoration and affection.
Seeing Lan Xingyu run out, the entire background around Tony seemed to change.
"Ah~ My little Xingyu is so cute. My God, how could there be such a cute child? And so talented, too." At this moment, Tony seemed to have turned into a noodle, wiggling around. The background was filled with pink bubble effects. This is Transmigration across dimensions, right?
Pepper Potts looked at Tony speechlessly. She was also charmed by Lan Xingyu, but she was already used to it. Every time she saw Xingyu, she was practically overwhelmed by his cuteness. But this guy, Tony... Pepper Potts felt he was about to... uh no... he was already suffering from Qi Deviation.
If Lan Xingyu's cuteness was a measure, Pepper Potts felt that Tony was now terminally ill.
"Did you see how he was eating just now? Ah~ He's simply an angel." Tony's tone was five parts doting, three parts proud, and two parts... Pepper Potts always felt something strange was mixed in there.
"Tony, I think you need to sober up. With that... that... that obsessed look on your face, I think Lan Xingyu is definitely going to get suspicious." Pepper Potts thought for a long time before finally coming up with a word that fit Tony's current state.
"Ah! Really?" Tony was a bit panicked, his usual composure thrown to the winds.
"Then what should I do?" Tony's mind went blank for a moment.
"What do you think? Father. Didn't you already plan this out?" Pepper Potts said, feeling somewhat speechless. Such a child-obsessed parent.
"Company, yes, company. Then I'll go find Xingyu." Saying this, Tony prepared to go find Xingyu to play with him.
"Wait, wait. You need to manage your emotions and expressions first. What's with that obsessed look on your face? Aren't you afraid of scaring Xingyu into hitting you..." Pepper Potts immediately grabbed Tony to make him calm down.
After coming out, Lan Xingyu felt the gaze that had been giving him goosebumps start to fade, so he relaxed; it seemed that thing had left.
Lan Xingyu let the Panda go to play. He asked Amber in his arms, "Amber, did you feel anything?"
"No? What's wrong, Master?" Amber was a bit curious; it had thought it strange to see its Master like that just now. However, it hadn't felt anything, as Tony's gaze was entirely on Lan Xingyu, and with no malice, it naturally couldn't sense it.
"It's nothing, maybe I just went to sleep too late yesterday. I just keep feeling like something is watching me," Lan Xingyu said, puzzled.
Lan Xingyu and Amber played outside for a while, and then Tony and Pepper came out.
"Xingyu, where's the Panda?" Tony asked.
After a period of recovery and psychological counseling from Pepper Potts, Tony finally looked a bit like his former self.
"Oh, over there. It seems to have been hit by something, and suddenly it wants to strive for improvement. It wants to dig a hole in that titanium alloy wall." Lan Xingyu pointed at the Panda, which was already using magic to dig a hole.
Tony and Pepper Potts were speechless; even after being with the Panda for so long, they still couldn't figure out the Panda's thought process.
"Xingyu, why aren't you playing games today? Didn't you usually play that game called something like 'Monster Abuse' after eating?" Pepper Potts changed the subject, because the Panda was truly something no human could understand.
"Uh... I actually have no reason to say you got the name wrong. Plus, I also need to come out and get some sun; it's good for growing taller." Lan Xingyu certainly couldn't say that he had felt something watching him earlier. Lan Xingyu didn't think it would be useful to tell Tony and the others about someone he hadn't even discovered himself. But Lan Xingyu didn't know what a huge misunderstanding he had created.
Just as Lan Xingyu and the others were talking, an anomaly appeared in the sky; a vortex appeared, and a beam of light descended from it.
This sight scared Tony and Pepper Potts. Tony immediately moved to get in front of Lan Xingyu, but was stopped by Lan Xingyu's hand.
"It's okay! They're on our side. Also, what are you thinking? If anyone is going to block, it should be me. If this thing could hurt me, what use would it be for you to stand in front?" Lan Xingyu said, puzzled. Tony is so strange today! Could it be because of his birthday?
"Uh..." Tony didn't know what to say either. He looked incredibly embarrassed.
"However, thank you, Tony. Don't do such silly things in the future." Although Lan Xingyu was scolding Tony, he was still very touched inside.
Hearing Lan Xingyu's thanks, Tony's previously embarrassed mood instantly improved, and he stood to the side, full of energy again. Lan Xingyu didn't notice, but this scene was seen by Pepper Potts, making her smile again.
Subsequently, the anomaly dissipated, and a circular, scorched magic circle appeared on the ground, with a lady in armor standing in the center. Yes, the person who arrived was none other than the goddess Sif.
Upon seeing Xingyu, Sif placed one hand on her chest and said, "The Goddess of Earth and Harvest, Sif, greets Prince Lan."
Prince? Tony and Pepper Potts were even more surprised. What was going on? Xingyu was also a Prince? And apparently a Prince of the gods?
"Sister Sif, why are you here? Don't be so formal. Let me introduce you: this is Tony, my friend, and this is my sister, Pepper Potts." Lan Xingyu pulled Sif along to introduce Tony to her.
He then turned to Tony and the others and said, "This is the goddess from Asgard, and also a powerful female warrior, Sif."
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Since they were friends of Lan Xingyu, Sif had to express the proper etiquette.
"Hello, we are also very happy to meet you. In fact, you are the first goddess we have ever met." Tony and Pepper Potts also greeted Sif.
"By the way, Sister Sif, why did you come to find me? And so solemnly?" Lan Xingyu pretended not to know.
"I am here under the orders of God King Odin to invite you to attend Thor's God King coronation ceremony," Sif said to Xingyu.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but pinch Xingyu's cheeks, which made Tony incredibly envious. Because no matter how he had tried to entice Lan Xingyu before, he wouldn't let him rub them. Let alone now; it was as if an entire factory of vinegar had been overturned.
However, one piece of news barely managed to distract him. A God King's coronation? He kind of wanted to go! But then he thought about it and decided against it. He didn't want to make things difficult for Xingyu, as he didn't know that Xingyu could bring people along.
Xingyu didn't intend to bring Tony and the others either, because this time he intended to fulfill the duties of a Prince. That's right, he was going to cause some trouble.
"Then let's set off, Sister Sif. Tony, Sister Potts, I'm going to Asgard, you don't need to wait for me today!" Lan Xingyu said to Tony and the others.
"Hmm, no problem, have fun," said Pepper Potts.
As for Tony, his sorrow had already flowed into a river, and he was grieving behind Pepper Potts...
"Then I'm off! Bye-bye!" After Lan Xingyu said goodbye, another flash of colorful light passed, and Lan Xingyu and Sif disappeared.
"Stop looking, it's not like he's not coming back. What kind of expression is that on your face!" Pepper Potts helplessly patted Tony's shoulder...
Lan Xingyu and Sif rode the Bifrost Bridge to Asgard.
"Sister Sif, next time, would you like to consider my Teleportation Gate? My Teleportation Gate should be faster," he said to Sif right after arriving at Asgard.
This was a fact; after all, with a Teleportation Gate, you walk through and you're there. Look at the Bifrost Bridge; Thor and Loki were beaten out by their sister, and they still hadn't arrived yet.
"Sure! Next time, I'll try your Teleportation Gate, Xingyu." Sif was more relaxed now. Before, she had been respectful because of Odin's orders, but usually, they were friends, so of course, she wouldn't be so reserved.
"By the way, Queen Frigga is waiting for you to come over; she will teach you some etiquette. You can't make any mistakes then, after all, you are our Prince," Sif teased.
"Ah! Do I have to learn etiquette? How troublesome," Lan Xingyu said, feeling somewhat helpless.
"It's fine, it's all very simple stuff. You don't have to do anything this time," Sif reassured Lan Xingyu.
"Alright! Then I'll go find Aunt Frigga." After saying that, Lan Xingyu turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
"Lan Xingyu's speed seems to have gotten even faster!" Sif exclaimed.
"I've heard the God King say that if he were to actually fight Xingyu, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from him right now," said the gatekeeper of the palace, Heimdall, beside Sif.
"What!" Sif was truly surprised now.
Lan Xingyu, having arrived at the Queen's palace, revealed his figure; after all, flashing around in someone else's home was not the right thing to do; it would be too impolite.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince," two soldiers saluted Lan Xingyu.
Lan Xingyu waved to acknowledge them and went in. When he reached Frigga's door, he had the guard go in to announce him. Before long, he saw Frigga come out.
"Hi, little Xingyu, long time no see! Did you miss your aunt?" As soon as she came out, Frigga began to ravage Lan Xingyu's cheeks. If Sif had been somewhat wary of Lan Xingyu's status as a Prince and didn't dare to play with his cheeks like that, then Queen Frigga was simply unscrupulous. It was as if she wanted to make up for all the months she hadn't played with him.
Lan Xingyu now knew that all the talk about teaching him etiquette was just an excuse; you are clearly addicted to my beauty. Humph! I am full of Life Qi, the super fierce kind.
Frigga brought Lan Xingyu into the palace, played with his face for a while longer, and only then let Lan Xingyu go. Then she briefly said that he just needed to stand by her side later, and that was it.
Alright, it's confirmed that you are addicted to my beauty.
