American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 281 Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine

In the kitchen, warm light shines on Selina and Xiao Xian. Selina stands in front of the operating table, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and seems to be concentrating on cutting vegetables.

However, in reality, Selina's attention was completely on Xiao Xian. From time to time, she would gently touch Xiao Xian's arm with her fingertips, or move so close that his body could almost feel her body temperature.

At the same time, outside the kitchen door, Bruce quietly pressed against the door, eavesdropping on the movements inside. His ears were pressed tightly against the door panel, trying to catch every subtle sound. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was full of anticipation and excitement.

"Xiao Xian, how should this vegetable be cut?" Selena approached Xiao Xian, deliberately lowered her voice, and asked softly.

"This is how you cut it. I'll teach you." Xiao Xian deliberately said loudly.

After saying that, Xiao Xian smiled slightly, put down the ingredients in his hand, leaned close to Selina's ear, and whispered, "Your husband, Bruce Wayne, is eavesdropping outside."

Selina's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and a trace of shock and worry flashed in her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly: "Bruce suspected us? If Bruce knew about us, he would definitely kill us, or even make us live a life worse than death, just like Rachel and Harvey Dent."

Xiao Xian smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I don't think so. Mr. Bruce is more generous than you think, and he knows how to share."

Selina was shocked and stunned. After a long time, she came to her senses and shook her head and said, "This is impossible."

Xiao Xian leaned closer and whispered, "To tell you the truth, it was me who played cards with you these past two nights, not Bruce. Bruce just spoke beside you to make you think it was him, and recorded it by the way."

Selina stared at Xiao Xian with eyes wide open in disbelief. Her breathing became rapid, and she obviously couldn't accept this shocking fact. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Are you serious?" Selina finally found her voice and asked in a low voice, "When did Bruce develop this hobby?"

Xiao Xian nodded, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Of course. Don't you feel that everything is different?"

Selina's hands trembled slightly, and she almost dropped the kitchen knife. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her heart was in turmoil. She had always thought that she was playing cards with Bruce, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this.

"I was wondering how Bruce could have improved so much all of a sudden, and how he cooperated so well with you when we played cards this afternoon. It turned out to be like this." Selina muttered to herself. No wonder she felt something was wrong these two days.

At the same time, Selina was extremely angry about Bruce's behavior.

"Mm.D., what does that bastard Bruce Wayne think of me! If he had told me the truth, and had known that you were so good at playing cards, it would have been fine for him to let me play a few rounds with you. But he took advantage of my sympathy to make peace with me, and then made me wear a blindfold to play cards with you!"

After Selina finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Xian worriedly and whispered:

"Abin, what should we do next? You have to be careful. Even though Bruce seems to be very magnanimous now, from what I understand of him, when he gets tired of playing with you or finds another toy, he will definitely kill you to vent his anger."

After saying that, Selina looked at the ingredients in front of her and a bold idea came to her mind.

"How about we take the initiative and poison Bruce to death?"

After listening to this, Xiao Xian had a faint smile on his face, and he went straight to Dalang to ask if it was okay for him to drink the medicine. As expected, Catwoman didn't have much affection and sense of responsibility towards Bruce. But it's also true that Bruce in this world is a cheating freak and a scumbag, so it's normal that Selina doesn't like him much.

"Don't worry, Selina. It doesn't matter if Bruce burns his bridges. I'll be fine."

Seeing Xiao Xian's nonchalant attitude, Selina widened her eyes and eagerly retorted:

"How can he be fine? Don't underestimate him. Although Bruce does have strange hobbies, he is Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham. There are few people in this world who can offend him and still be safe and sound. The only ones I know are Xiao Xian, Superman, Harry Osborn, Tony Stark and a few others. Abin, you are just an ordinary person, you are no match for him at all." Xiao Xian approached Selina and whispered, "What a coincidence, actually I am Xiao Xian."

Selina looked at Xiao Xian in shock, and was completely stunned. Her breathing became rapid, and her eyes were full of disbelief. She opened her mouth and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Are you Xiao Xian?"

Xiao Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I am Xiao Xian."

Selina looked at Xiao Xian in shock, her eyes full of disbelief and complicated emotions. Her voice trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Xiao Xian is the most handsome man in the world, how could you be him?"

Xiao Xian smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. In an instant, his temperament changed drastically. His ordinary face instantly became extremely handsome, with deep features and clear lines, like a male god walking out of a painting.

Selina covered her mouth and looked at the extremely handsome Xiao Xian in front of her. She couldn't help but jump up and exclaimed excitedly: "Oh my God! Oh my God!"

At the moment when Selina screamed, Xiao Xian quickly snapped his fingers again, using magic to change what Bruce heard outside the door. Bruce outside the door did not notice anything unusual, he still pressed against the door, concentrating on eavesdropping on the movements inside.

After a while, the excited Selina calmed down. She realized her own loss of composure and that Bruce was still eavesdropping outside. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Xiao Xian smiled and shook his head, and said gently: "It's okay, Selina. I have used magic to change what Bruce heard. He won't know about our conversation."

"Xiao Xian, you are so awesome." There were almost stars in Selina's eyes. She almost stuck to Xiao Xian, and her hands moved down dishonestly.

Xiao Xian felt Selina's hands begin to wander restlessly on his body, so he gently grabbed her hand, smiled and said, "It's nothing." After that, Xiao Xian snapped his fingers, and the whole person turned back into the ordinary handsome guy before.

Seeing this, Selina coquettishly pulled Xiao Xian's arm, with a pleading light in her eyes: "Xiao Xian, change back, I like the way you were just now."

Xiao Xian smiled slightly and shook his head: "This is a paid item, Selina."

Selina immediately took off the necklace on her chest and handed it to Xiao Xian: "Here is this, it is a family heirloom of the Wayne family, and it is priceless."

Xiao Xian curled his lips, gently pushed the necklace away, and said with a smile: "I don't want this kind of money. To be honest, in terms of this kind of earthly property, I am actually richer than Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark combined."

Selina's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she asked curiously, "What money do you want?"

Xiao Xian replied: "What I need is the power of corruption."

Selina couldn't help laughing after hearing this and jokingly said, "It sounds like something a succubus needs."

Xiao Xian smiled, nodded and said, "In fact, I do have quite a few succubi under my command."

Selina was slightly stunned, and asked seriously, "Then how can I pay for the power of corruption?"

Xiao Xian blinked and said, "It's very simple. Just cooperate with me to help deal with Bruce Wayne."

"I will satisfy any of your needs." Selina nodded immediately. "Anything~"
