The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"Mr. Baiye, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Even Bai Ye couldn't refuse, so he shook Vanessa's hand.

but……

He raised an eyebrow, and Vanessa actually scratched her palm.

At the banquet.

Kingpin raised his glass:

“Mr. Baiye, this incident was my fault, but I promise there will never be a next time.”

"I will punish myself with three cups as an apology to Mr. Bai Ye."

“Mr. Fisk, you’re too kind. It’s just a small matter. It’s easy to explain. It’s not worth your seriousness at all.”

Bai Ye chuckled softly.

Kingpin, of course, couldn't take Bai Ye's polite words seriously and insisted on apologizing.

Indeed, if Kingpin really went along with it...

After making an apology.

The banquet was in full swing.

"Mr. White Night isn't a native of New York, is he?" Kingpin asked.

“Yes.” Bai Ye nodded: “I’m from Hong Kong Island, and I only came to New York to make a living in the last two years.”

“I’m a native New Yorker…”

Kingpin rambled on and on about nonsense.

They chatted casually for a while.

The atmosphere is right.

Kingpin tentatively asked, "Mr. White Night, the life potion you provide is indeed remarkably effective. I wonder if I could purchase more from you?"

"Of course, no problem. I run a business, and I'll sell to anyone who comes."

Bai Ye tasted a piece of steak and said.

"That's great, I'll take twenty this time."

It was the money that King received from Norman Osborne.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

However, the eldest sister-in-law kept making small, unsettling moves.

Bai Ye felt that Kingpin's head was probably covered in a green meadow.

Before leaving, standing at the entrance of Kingpin's villa, Bai Ye, with a look of sympathy in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head, and sighed:

"Women are like eggs, hard on the outside, but pure inside when you peel them, but yellow inside; men are like mangoes, yellow on the outside, even yellower inside when you peel them; but you are different, you are like a pineapple, yellow inside, but green on top."

Kingpin: "..."

###Chapter 18 Rejecting Toxic Chicken Soup, Promoting Positive Energy###

Back to the Treasure House.

Bai Ye and Uncle Jiu sat side by side on soft chairs.

"I might really never be able to go back," Uncle Nine sighed. "It's been several days, but there's still no sign of that frog."

"That's normal. I often don't get any information from the frog cub for ten days or half a month. He's very willful."

Bai Ye said.

"So, I'm really stuck living here from now on?" Uncle Nine looked at the tall buildings outside and said, "But what can I do here?"

In this modern society, everything that Uncle Nine knew has been overturned.

And although there are occasional rumors of vengeful spirits here, there are really not many ghosts. So how does Uncle Nine support himself?

“Uncle Jiu, how about this? My treasure shop specializes in selling all sorts of strange and unusual things, so you can make some peace charms, protective charms, and exorcism charms and sell them in my shop.”

Bai Ye thought for a moment and then said.

Will this work?

Uncle Nine was somewhat tempted:

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

"Hey, it's just a small matter, why are you being so polite with me?" Bai Ye said. "As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, but when you're out in the world you rely on your friends! If I need your help with something, how could you refuse?"

Uncle Nine looked Bai Ye up and down and said, "You don't happen to need my help right now, do you?"

"As expected of Uncle Nine!" Bai Ye gave Uncle Nine a thumbs up and said, "You have excellent eyesight. It's no exaggeration to say that you can see the big picture from small details."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Uncle Nine rolled his eyes and said.

Considering Bai Ye's previous act of standing up to the armed forces for him, as long as he doesn't help harm people, there shouldn't be any problems.

“Um…” Bai Ye scratched his head and said, “I heard that the Maoshan Sect has a spell called Palm Thunder, and coincidentally, I’ve been studying thunder magic recently, so…”

The Book of Seals in Kumogakure contains a large number of Lightning Release ninjutsu for him to study, but it lacks one Lightning Release ninjutsu that he greatly covets—Chidori.

Other Lightning Release ninjutsu may be just as powerful as Chidori, or even stronger, but...

Chidori is so cool!

After all, being strong is temporary, but being handsome is for a lifetime.

The Palm Thunder technique in Taoist arts is actually very similar to Chidori. Therefore, Bai Ye wondered if he could use the Palm Thunder Taoist arts to research and create a Taoist version of Chidori.

Uncle Nine's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"If it were anything else, it would be easy to discuss, but this... I really can't agree to it!"

"When we first entered Maoshan, we brothers all knelt before the statue of our patriarch and swore an oath: if we revealed the Maoshan tradition, we would die without a burial place, our souls would be banished to the Nine Wanderers, and we would never be reincarnated."

"That's amazing?" Bai Ye was dumbfounded and somewhat discouraged: "Then forget it, I'll figure it out myself."

"but……"

Is there still a chance for things to turn around?

“I once had a nemesis named Master Tulong. He was from the Laoshan Sect, but he did some heinous things and I killed him,” Uncle Nine said. “On his body, I found a Taoist manual from the Laoshan Sect… The Laoshan Sect’s Taoist arts also include the Palm Thunder technique, which is different from our Maoshan Sect’s, but they are similar. So if you want it, I can give you the Laoshan Sect’s Palm Thunder technique.”

Uncle Nine is a member of the Maoshan Sect and cannot reveal the Maoshan Sect's secret manuals, but whether or not the Laoshan Sect's secret manuals are revealed is none of his business.

Who told Daoist Tulong to be such a fool, doing bad things and carrying the Laoshan Sect's secret manual on his person? If anyone's soul is going to the Netherworld, it will definitely be Daoist Tulong.

In fact, the Laoshan Sect and the Maoshan Sect are sworn enemies!

The disciples of Laoshan are known for their inability to distinguish between good and evil, and for their audacious and reckless actions. They claim to only respect the will of Heaven and disregard human feelings. Many of the disciples have collaborated with the four major sects to plunder ancient tombs for profit.

The Maoshan sect is skilled in finding burial sites, feng shui rituals, wedding ceremonies, traps and formations, face reading and character analysis, fortune telling, and even defying fate.

The Taoist priests of Laoshan were accustomed to destroying tombs for profit, while the disciples of Maoshan had to rack their brains to figure out how to prevent others from digging up their graves and ruining their fortunes. Over time, countless people from both sides died at the hands of the other. Over thousands of years, the hatred between them became so deep that even rivers and seas could not wash it away.

"But... this is considered a violation of the rules. You can watch it yourself, but you absolutely cannot let a third person know. Do you understand what I mean?"

Uncle Nine gave Bai Ye a look.

Bai Ye understood instantly.

He gave a knowing smile.

Now, getting the Rumble-Rumble Fruit version of Chidori that he wanted shouldn't be a problem.

……

After meeting with Kingpin and Vanessa.

At that time, Bai Ye exchanged contact information with his older brother Kingpin and sister-in-law Vanessa.

After all, Bai Ye is a very honest person: Generally speaking, any man with a beautiful wife is my brother. Of course... I have face blindness, so sometimes I can't tell who my brothers are...

Vanessa, Bai Ye's sister-in-law, kept harassing him with messages for reasons unknown.

Vanessa: "Bai Ye, do all men think that having children is about carrying on the male lineage and continuing the bloodline, and that they don't care if you're afraid of pain, afraid of getting old, or afraid of becoming ugly?"

Bai Ye: "What, is Kingpin urging you to have a baby?"

Vanessa: "Hmm, but I'm not really ready to have children right now... I wonder if it's because I was too unreserved when we were dating, so he doesn't appreciate me as much now. Bai Ye, is it true that unconditionally being good to a man only makes him take it for granted; and that forgiving him without limits will only make him take advantage of you?"

Bai Ye: "Really? Maybe there's some misunderstanding? You should have a good talk with Kingpin!"

Vanessa: "Kingpin does love me, that's true, but he's too much of a chauvinist, and I can't quite stand it..."

She thought about living with Kingpin for the rest of her life and felt that she couldn't do it!

At this moment, Bai Ye felt somewhat conflicted, with men on either side.

If I side with my elder brother, I'll be letting down my sister-in-law; if I side with my sister-in-law, I'll be letting down my elder brother.

Bai Ye thought about it and decided that his sister-in-law was more important.

So he gave Vanessa an answer:

"Reject toxic motivational quotes and promote positive energy!"

"A woman's life is very difficult, and she must never wrong herself. In my hometown village in China, there is a 48-year-old single woman who got married this year to a young and handsome billionaire in his twenties. He gave her a dowry of 100 million yuan and more than 20 courtyard houses in Beijing."

"The sports cars and villas are all registered in the woman's name, and more than ten villas have been given to his younger brother. Sisters, you must believe in your own worth. Fate will come eventually. As long as you persevere, you will find happiness."

"A confident woman never settles!"

###Chapter 19 Singing a Song: Where Does the Dew Fall?###

"Chief, you wanted to see me?"

Coulson walked into Nick Fury's office, his hair disheveled, looking dejected and listless.

His face was yellowish-white, his eyes were sunken, and he was so thin that he was skin and bones, like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

The incident involving Bai Ye a few days ago was a huge blow to him.

Most of the team members he brought were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
