American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 301 Massage

Xiao Xian and Selena left the palace in Atlantis and returned to the hotel. Selena nestled in Xiao Xian's arms, her emotions finally calming down. The two enjoyed a brief moment of peace, while Arthur returned to his room dejectedly, his heart filled with regret and helplessness.

Atlanna stayed behind, noticing a pleasant fragrance filling the room. She approached Mera and whispered, "Mera, are you using some new fragrance? I really love it; could you give me some?"

Mera paused, then looked at Atlanna in confusion: "Spice? I didn't use any new spices."

Atlana nodded, her tone certain: "Didn't you smell a particularly pleasant scent? That's right, it's spices. Very special, it makes you feel very happy."

Mera looked slightly embarrassed. She thought for a moment and said slowly, "Just before you arrived, Selena and Abin wanted me to give them some time alone, so I left for a while. During that time, Abin and Selena seemed to be doing something strange here."

Atlana's expression turned complicated, a hint of shock in her eyes: "Mera, you mean they did something fun in your room?"

Mera nodded, her expression slightly helpless: "That's right."

Atlana was even more surprised and immediately asked, "Aren't you angry?"

Mera sighed, her tone filled with helplessness and anger: "Of course I'm angry, but this is all your son's doing. If it were anyone else, I would have killed them both long ago."

Atlanna looked at Mera with remorse upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, Mera, I'm so sorry."

Mera shook her head, indicating her understanding: "This is not your fault."

Atlana snapped out of her reverie, suddenly realizing something. She paused for a moment, then said, "You mean, the scent of this spice might be something Selena and Abin left behind?"

Mera breathed a sigh of relief and shrugged. "Who knows? It could also be Selena's special perfume."

Atlana recalled the scent that Selena had previously carried and thought with certainty, "No, Selena doesn't smell like that. On the contrary, I faintly smelled a trace of that scent when I first met Abin."

Thinking of this, Atlana couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. According to the agreed-upon method of apology, she would have to spend the night with Xiao Xian. The thought stirred a restlessness within Atlana; she could feel that the scent truly excited her.

As night fell, Atlana, filled with a mix of anticipation, shyness, shame, and nervousness, approached Xiao Xian's door. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and gently knocked. The door opened, but instead of Xiao Xian, Selena stood before her.

Seeing the surprise on Atlana's face, Selena smiled and said, "Is it strange? Of course, I need to witness it with my own eyes to be sure you've kept your promise."

Upon hearing this, Atlana felt embarrassed but also realized that Selena's words made sense. She nodded, slowly walked into the room, and closed the door behind her. Her gaze shifted from Selena to Xiao Xian, who was sitting on the bed with a smile on his face.

When Xiao Xian saw Atlana enter, he smiled and said, "Atlana, welcome. Don't be nervous tonight. You can treat it as a dream, a dream you'll forget afterward."

Atlana breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but the tension remained. She walked to the center of the room, feeling the peculiar fragrance grow stronger, which made her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Selena walked to the side, sat down in a chair, her eyes filled with scrutiny and curiosity. "Alright, Atlanna, you can begin now."

Atlana nodded, sat down on the edge of the bed, her gaze darting away, avoiding Xiao Xian's eyes. Xiao Xian noticed her nervousness, gently took her hand, and softly comforted her, "Relax."

Atlana felt the warmth of Xiao Xian's hand, and her tension eased slightly. She whispered, "I'm sorry, I was just a little nervous."

Selena stood to the side, quietly watching Atlanna and Xiao Xian, and slowly said, "You two hug each other first."

Xiao Xian gently opened his arms, a hint of encouraging smile on his face. Atlana took a deep breath, her heart churning with a complex mix of emotions: anticipation, fear, nervousness, and shame. She slowly opened her arms and walked towards Xiao Xian.

As Atlana finally approached Xiao Xian and wrapped her arms around his warm body, a familiar and pleasant fragrance wafted from him. This fragrance was stronger than before, seemingly surrounding Atlana and permeating every pore of her being.

Atlana was surprised to find that the pleasant scent made her feel weak all over, and her nervousness instantly eased. She unconsciously hugged Xiao Xian tighter, feeling his firm muscles and warm body. The fragrance was like an invisible force, slowly melting away her wariness and shyness.

Driven by this wondrous feeling, Atlan involuntarily closed her eyes, her breathing becoming deep and slow. Atlan's hand began to slide down, gently touching Xiao Xian's back, her fingertips trembling with a hint of exploration. Each touch felt like an electric current, reaching straight to the depths of her heart.

At the same time, feeling Atlanna's hand gradually move downwards, Xiao Xian's hand also became increasingly restless. His palm gently slid over Atlanna's back, finally stopping on her round, soft buttocks. Xiao Xian's touch brought waves of electric-like pleasure, and Atlanna's breathing became rapid, her heart pounding.

At that moment, Atlana's consciousness was enveloped by this wonderful and exciting feeling, but she suddenly realized her actions. She pushed Xiao Xian away abruptly, her face filled with shame and anger, and said in a trembling voice, "No, you can't do this."

Seeing this, Selena frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She said coldly, "Atlana, what are you doing? Arthur was planning to drug me and do *that* to me, and you wouldn't even let Xiao Xian touch you, especially since you were the one who touched Xiao Xian first."

Atlana blushed and explained awkwardly, "I just... I don't even know why I touched Ah Bin on my own."

Seeing this, Xiao Xian smiled and comforted him, "It's alright, if you don't want to, then forget it. Let's move on to the next item."

Selena glanced at Xiao Xian, nodded, and then said to Atlana, "Since you've said so, then fine, you two can kiss each other from now on."

Atlana's blush deepened. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. The most fatal problem now wasn't that Atlana didn't want to or dislike being with Xiao Xianqin, but that she actually longed to be with him and even wanted to take things further.

Selena looked at Atlana, who was hesitating, and said sarcastically, "What, you don't want to? Don't worry, I'm not your son. I don't like to force people. The deal can be canceled at any time."

"No need, now that I'm here, I won't go back on my word."

Atlana slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed firmly on Xiao Xian. She knew she had to make a choice. She slowly moved closer to Xiao Xian, her lips trembling slightly, and finally gently kissed him.

After a long time, Atlana and Xiao Xian parted ways.

An ambiguous yet sweet atmosphere filled the air. Atlana's breathing quickened, her chest heaved, her face flushed, and her eyes shimmered with lingering emotions.

Atlana's legs were weak from the intimate contact just now, and she couldn't support her body at all. She tried to stand up, but she lost her balance and collapsed to the ground, her legs trembling slightly. She held onto the ground with her hands and looked up at Xiao Xian, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Xiao Xian leaned down to look at Atlana, reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you alright, Atlana?"

Atlana took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She nodded slightly, still a little out of breath, but she tried to stay composed. She whispered, "I...I'm fine, just a little...a little dizzy."

Meanwhile, in the palace, Neptune Arthur paced back and forth, unable to sleep. His heart was filled with anxiety and worry.

His mother, Atlanna, was with Xiao Xian. Although it was a compromise she made to protect herself, Arthur was still worried that Xiao Xian would take advantage of her. He couldn't help but imagine what the two of them were doing, and various unsettling images flashed through his mind.

What frightened Arthur even more was that the thought of Atlanna and Xiao Xian together stirred a strange excitement within him, alongside his anger. And as time passed, this excitement gradually overwhelmed his anger.

Finally, unable to sleep, Arthur decided to take action. He decided to sneak into the hotel to see what was going on. If Xiao Xian forced Atlana to do something she shouldn't, he could rush in and stop her immediately.

At least that's what Arthur thought in his heart, although deep down he had a terrible idea he didn't want to admit: he wanted to see Xiao Xian and Atlana together.

And just imagining that scene filled Arthur with excitement. He even had a thought: that Xiao Xianzhen and Atlanna would actually have something happen between them. If it could be with Mera, that would be even better.

Of course, Arthur would never admit to having such thoughts. He believed he was simply too tired lately, which was why he was having these wild imaginings. How could he possibly have such a strange hobby as Bruce Wayne?

Arthur quietly left the palace and headed alone toward the inn. This inn was specially prepared for foreign envoys and had been meticulously designed, with some hidden passages for use in emergencies.

As the king of Atlantis, Arthur naturally had the right to know the location of these secret passages. So he went through one of the passages and came directly to a secret room next to Xiao Xian's room.

There is a one-way mirror between the wall of this dark room and Xiao Xian's room. Looking from one side of the dark room, you can clearly see the situation inside the room.

Arthur stood in the darkened room, nervously watching the scene through a one-way mirror. He saw Atlanna slumped on the floor, her face flushed and her legs weak. Xiao Xian was gently helping her up, his expression filled with concern and tenderness.

Arthur's heart raced, his fists clenched, and he stared intently at their every move. To his surprise, he was actually moved by what he was seeing.

On the other side, after being helped up by Xiao Xian, Atlana tried to calm herself down, the blush on her face still lingering. She explained awkwardly, "I might have had some difficulty breathing, that's why I lost my balance, it definitely wasn't because I had a reaction."

Xiao Xian and Selena exchanged a knowing smile. Xiao Xian said gently, "Of course, I believe you wouldn't do that."

Then, Selena suggested, "Since kissing and hugging are both out of the question, how about you give Xiao Xian a massage? Consider it an apology for your son's crimes."

Atlana felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing this, but outwardly tried to remain calm: "Is a massage all you need?"

Selena looked at Atlana, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Do you want even more outrageous demands?"

Atlana quickly shook her head, eagerly explaining, "Of course not." But a hint of disappointment and conflict lingered in her heart. She longed for more contact with Xiao Xian, yet was unwilling to actively express this desire. She hoped to feign being forced to atone for her son's sins, thereby gaining more opportunities to get closer to Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian looked at Atlanna and teased with a smile, "If you want to get to know her better, I won't object, after all, you're so beautiful."

Atlana blushed even more at his words and lowered her head shyly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then said softly, "Then I'll start massaging you."

Xiao Xian nodded, obediently lay down on the bed, took off his coat, revealing his well-defined muscles and abs. Selena and Atlana, seeing this, simultaneously swallowed hard. Hearing the sound, they exchanged a glance; Atlana blushed even more, lowered her head, and her heart raced.

Atlana stepped forward, reached out, and began to massage Xiao Xian. Her palms were warm and soft, gently pressing on his muscles, feeling the firmness and warmth of his body. Her hands couldn't help but gently rub against Xiao Xian's abdominal muscles, her fingertips gliding over those distinct muscles, with a slight tremor.

In the dark room, Arthur watched Atlana caress Xiao Xian more like a massage than a massage, and while feeling pathetic, he was also inexplicably excited. Watching this scene, he even felt a surge of hope that Atlana and Xiao Xian could take things further.
