American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 190 The Advantages of the System

"No, I won't." Penny thought of her past with Leonard again. Although Leonard had cheated on her, at least he hadn't gambled with her. Penny felt that if Xiao Xian touched her a few more times, she really wouldn't be able to stand it.

"Alright then. Let's eat then," Xiao Xian said with a smile, he still had that much patience.

The two ate in silence, but the atmosphere at the table remained slightly ambiguous. Suddenly, Penny's foot accidentally touched Xiao Xian's foot under the table. Although the contact was brief, it made Penny's heart race and her cheeks flush.

Penny quickly withdrew her foot, feeling a surge of excitement and shyness involuntarily. She felt as if a cat was scratching her heart.

Xiao Xian didn't seem to react in any particular way. He remained calm and continued eating elegantly, as if nothing had happened. Penny observed Xiao Xian's composure, and her inner tension eased slightly.

After a moment, Penny could no longer suppress her excitement. After glancing at the still calm Xiao Xian, Penny decided to try again. She gently touched Xiao Xian's foot with her own.

Xiao Xian sensed this movement, glanced up slightly at Penny, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Xiao Xian didn't object or say anything, Penny's courage grew again. She took off her left high heel, and her left foot, clad in black stockings, gradually moved upwards along Xiao Xian's calf.

When Casey returned from the restroom, she immediately noticed a slight change in the atmosphere. Penny's cheeks were slightly flushed. Although she and Xiao Xian were both sitting in their respective seats continuing their meal, Penny seemed somewhat absent-minded, her gaze occasionally wandering.

Casey was a little confused. She knew who Penny was and that she definitely couldn't resist. She also knew Xiao Xian's schedule. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that it would be over by now. Casey had deliberately come back at the right time to hitch a ride with Penny and play a game of Dou Dizhu with Xiao Xian.

Somewhat disappointed, Casey sat back down next to Xiao Xian and casually adjusted her seat. Just as she looked down to pick up her napkin, a small detail caught her eye—she saw Penny's foot quietly retracting from Xiao Xian's thigh.

Hmph~ Such a hypocrite. Cathy glanced at Penny and thought to herself. She knew Penny's nature was hard to change, especially when she met such a handsome man as Xiao Xian.

"I'm back. How was your chat?" Casey said casually, while observing their reactions.

Xiao Xian replied, "Not bad."

Penny hesitated slightly, her voice tinged with nervousness: "Yes, we had a great chat." She tried to hide her unease, but her voice and expression still betrayed a hint of discomfort.

Upon hearing this, Casey looked at Penny with a half-smile. Penny, feeling uneasy under Casey's gaze and unable to suppress her inner turmoil any longer, said...

"I need to go to the restroom," Penny said awkwardly. Before getting up, she gently kicked Xiao Xian's foot and gave him a meaningful look.

Casey noticed Penny getting up, but didn't see what Penny was doing. She simply nodded politely in understanding. However, shortly after, Xiao Xian also stood up, smiling, and said, "I'm going to the restroom too."

"Huh?" Only then did Casey realize something was wrong. She looked at Xiao Xian pleadingly, "Can I go too?"

"You just came back from the restroom, and Penny will feel bad if you go. Let's leave it at first, I'll call you later when she can't take it anymore," Xiao Xian said, standing up.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!" Casey said, a little disappointed but also expectant.

Penny hurried toward the restaurant's restroom, her steps somewhat rushed, her eyes darting left and right as if to make sure no one was watching her. She paused briefly at the restroom door, looking uneasy and hesitant. Just then, Xiao Xian walked in from the other side.

When Penny saw Xiao Xian appear, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly walked towards him and grabbed his hand. Penny's movements were swift and decisive; she pulled Xiao Xian directly into the bathroom.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, Penny quickly locked the door. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

"I'm sorry, I know this might be impulsive, but I couldn't help myself, I want you~" In the enclosed space of the bathroom, Penny looked deeply into Xiao Xian's eyes, her gaze flickering with complex emotions, a mixture of confusion and determination.

"But I don't plan to divorce Leonard, so I can't date you. I know I'm married and I should be faithful to my marriage, but being with you has given me a sense of different possibilities. Can you accept that our relationship will only be physical?"

"Yes, absolutely! You can rest assured about that." Xiao Xian nodded immediately without hesitation. It's okay to crave one's body, as long as one doesn't crave love.

half an hour later

"I can't take it anymore~" Penny loosened the triangular cloth strip that she had bitten so hard in her mouth, slumped on the toilet seat, and looked at Xiao Xian, saying, "Darling, you're amazing. No one I've ever met before combined has given me even a fraction of the feeling you've given me."

"I'll call Casey over," Xiao Xian said, taking out his phone.

"This is too small, there's not enough room for three people. How about we go to a hotel?" Penny suggested. "I should be rested by then, so let me go first."

"Um, that works too." Xiao Xian nodded. Going to a hotel would be better, as it would allow for more freedom of movement. Actually, Xiao Xian's Hell Space was even better, as the world's laws there supported a higher level of pleasure and more sensitive sensations. However, the cost of bringing in the protagonist was a bit high, and even if it was voluntary, it would be expensive. It wasn't worth it for this at all.

More importantly, the power of color and corruption collected in the Hell Space are stored there, making it inconvenient for this version of myself in this world to use. Using magic across worlds would consume too much energy. All things considered, it's more cost-effective to collect it in this world and use the limited spatial permissions granted by the system.

Thinking about it this way, the system is quite useful. It allows me to use some of the permissions of a dimensional demon god even in another world. Looking at Penny, Xiao Xian thought to himself that with the system's support, he has a much greater advantage in pioneering than other dimensional demon gods. It seems that even though he has become a dimensional demon god, he still can't throw away the system. This thing seems to be much more advanced than he thought.

"Then I'll book the hotel. Um, if I get a divorce, would you marry me?" Penny took out her phone, then glanced at Xiao Xian, swallowed hard. Penny was completely smitten; she felt she couldn't live without Xiao Xian anymore.

"You can have anything in your dreams," Xiao Xian said, rolling his eyes.
