He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 263 Skye, the Female Hacker (Second Update)

After a normal cultivator undergoes a complete transformation, their physical condition will return to its most youthful and optimal state.

Just like Li Yingqi, who is over two hundred years old, he still looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old.

Of course, this is not fixed.

Once a cultivator reaches the Core Formation stage, they can adjust their physical appearance to reflect their age according to their own will.

Most female cultivators maintain the appearance they had when they were young, while most male cultivators choose to look like they did when they were in their thirties or later.

There are also some people with special preferences, such as those who like to transform into the appearance of a child, a teenager, or a middle-aged person.

In order to appear more dignified, the leaders of most sects would choose to appear as elderly people, such as Li Qingfeng's master, Qingzhu Daoren, the White-browed True Man of Emei, and the Venerable Master Zunsheng of Wutai Mountain.

European and American women mature earlier than Asian women. Generally, when European women are fifteen or sixteen years old, they are already about the same age as Asian women who are eighteen or nineteen.

After the age of twenty, one begins to decline; after the age of thirty, aging occurs rapidly; and after the age of forty, the signs of aging become very obvious.

Wanda is 21 years old this year. Although she is still at the peak of her beauty, she still has some concerns about her age and appearance.

In particular, some wives often have the fear that if they are no longer pretty, their husbands will stop loving them or prefer someone younger and prettier.

After all, Li Chuan is so rich, handsome, outstanding, and powerful; what kind of girl can't he find?

That's why she was so happy when she saw herself transformed back into the youthful and beautiful sixteen-year-old she once was.

"Fortunately, this place hasn't turned back."

After a moment of excitement, she suddenly remembered something, looked down, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Wanda threw the mirror back onto the dressing table and leaped towards Li Chuan.

"I feel great now, let's continue!"

"No, this is just the beginning. It can't be too frequent, or it will harm your body."

Li Chuan reached out and caught Wanda, holding her pajamas, and put her aside.

Wanda was not a cultivator after all; her body was just that of an ordinary person. Even if she had the method of dual cultivation, she could not use it too frequently.

Currently, it can only be done once a day at most; otherwise, excessive supplementation may harm the body.

And so, life returned to normal once again.

Because Li Chuan's shadow clones can now last for a day as long as their chakra isn't depleted, his two thousand shadow clones now have clearly defined roles.

Some of them were crafting small flying swords in the wardrobe space, some were learning and practicing spells, magic, and ninjutsu, and some were scattered to complete all the simple side quests that refreshed to earn time in the small world.

His true form, aside from meditating and cultivating his true essence, consists of three meals a day.

This situation continued for about two months before being interrupted by an incident.

"Boss, we've spotted a suspicious person near the neighborhood. Should we arrest them and interrogate them?"

Li Chuan, who was watching a sitcom with Wanda in the living room, heard Li San's report over the communicator and asked casually:

"How is it suspicious?"

"We found a bread truck that had been parked near the neighborhood for two consecutive days, and every time my wife left the neighborhood, the bread truck would flash its lights, probably to take pictures."

Li San recounted what he had observed over the past few days.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chuan replied:

"Secretly arrest the people in the bread truck and find out their identities."

His and Wanda's identities are unknown to ordinary people, except for those working for S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and government agencies, and they are also unaware of the neighborhood where he lives.

Therefore, the person who secretly photographed Wanda was most likely not an ordinary reporter.

Could it be that some strange organization has its eyes on him again?

The Marvel universe is filled with countless organizations, large and small. Besides the most famous S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, there are also the Hand, the Defenders, the Rising Tide, and so on.

However, none of this matters to him now. He'll figure it out first, then issue a warning. If they don't listen, he'll just wipe them out.

"Yes, boss."

About ten minutes later, Li San called again to report to his superior:

"The owner of the van was a woman in her early twenties named Skye. She was a hacker who found out your address by hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system. She said she was a fan of yours and wanted to meet you."

Skye, that name sounds familiar. She's a hacker who can break into S.H.I.E.L.D. systems.

Li Chuan thought for a moment and immediately thought of someone.

If he remembers correctly, there was an Inhuman named Daisy Quake, who, before changing her name, was called Skye, and was also a hacker.

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone and saying hello to Wanda, Li Chuan was about to Apparate over when a new side quest suddenly appeared on the panel.

Side Quest: Prevent the Inhumans from waging war against humanity.

Reward: One year of Small World time.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw the side quest.

He had been using shadow clones to complete side quests for two months, and now his small world time reserves were only half a year. This quest suddenly gave him a year, which was a nice little surprise.

The Inhumans are a race created by the Kree 1,400 years ago when they came to Earth to capture humans for experiments.

The Kree Empire, one of the most powerful civilizations in the universe, sent scientists around to conduct biological research and experiments in order to gain an advantage in interstellar wars, hoping to create powerful biological warriors.

One of them came to Earth 1,400 years ago and experimented on a Mayan, thus giving birth to the first alien, the Hive, which is also the origin of the Hydra.

Later, because the Kree Empire stopped the experiments, and the Hive led the modified Inhumans in rebellion, the group of Kree scientists returned to the Kree Empire in a spaceship.

The Inhumans who remained on Earth, fearing the Hive's ability to control the minds of other Inhumans at will, used technology left behind by the Kree to exile it to an alien planet far away from Earth.

Humans who worshipped the hive adopted it as their totem and formed the original Hydra organization.

Therefore, Hydra's goal over the past thousand years has been singular: to rescue the Hive, the entity they believe in, and to unify the entire Earth under the Hive's leadership.

After the Hive was banished, the Inhumans who had been modified by the Kree all went into hiding, mated with ordinary humans, and gradually disappeared from the world's sight.

However, according to the plot, in the past hundred years, Skye's mother, Jia Ying, seems to have been using the Terrigen Crystal left behind by the Kree to continuously activate the superpowers of the Inhumans' descendants, attempting to exterminate humanity and leave only the Inhumans on Earth.
