Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Zhao Weike was also somewhat resentful, after all, they had drunk together, and in Zhao Weike's eyes, Hawkeye was also a friend.

But now their friend has secretly conceived a child behind their backs and has been breastfeeding the child for who knows how long?

This made Zhao Weike and Tony feel the same way, as if they had been betrayed by their good brother.

Sherlock, however, seemed unaffected. Looking at Zhao Weike and Tony, who were united in their hatred of the enemy, Sherlock's lips twitched slightly before he spoke to the two of them.

"Is it possible that Brother Yan simply doesn't have time?"

At this point, Sherlock paused, shrugged at his two friends who had turned to look at him, and then continued.

"Judging from Yan'er's appearance, it is obvious that Yan'er has not rested well for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, Yan'er's child should be quite noisy and will cry from time to time in the middle of the night."

Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the string of curses that Brother Yan shouted after the baby cried was most likely because the baby had soiled himself, and the water stains on his face were probably his baby's urine.

Upon hearing Sherlock's statement, both Tony and Zhao Weike were stunned for a moment. They exchanged glances and could see a mixture of disbelief, schadenfreude, and existential doubt in each other's eyes.

Well, because of Helen, Zhao Weike had never experienced anything like this before, and Tony had just started a family and hadn't even proposed to Pepper yet, so he couldn't possibly know about these things.

Sherlock was the only one with some experience raising Doro and was relatively knowledgeable about these things, but that was all he was knowledgeable about, since Doro was created directly by Sherlock.

Although it was like a blank sheet of paper when it was first born, at least its instincts were relatively mature, and it certainly wouldn't end up as pathetic as Hawkeye.

"No, are all babies this torturous?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Tony was somewhat incredulous, his voice even trembling slightly. After all, in his mind, babies and children were angels, and Tony had even started planning for his own children while building the house.

However, after seeing Hawkeye's miserable life, Tony actually became a little scared.

Seeing Tony's state, Zhao Weike merely patted Tony on the shoulder with a smug grin, casually uttered a single sentence, and turned to leave.

"I don't know either, after all, my children were all born by chance."

Hearing Zhao Weike's words, Tony could only fix his gaze on Sherlock. After Zhao Weike left, Sherlock patted Tony on the shoulder and said to him earnestly.

Do you know why parents always hope their children will get married and have their own lives and families as soon as possible?

"why?"

Tony had some doubts, but he followed Sherlock's lead and asked.

"Because only when you have children will your life be complete, and children will help you fill in all your memories before you can remember them."

After saying this, Sherlock smiled and patted Tony on the shoulder before turning and walking back into the house, leaving Tony standing alone. Tony's eyes gradually changed from fear to reminiscence, and then, as if he had let go of something, he looked up at the sky.

"Ha! Old man, I will never be as flustered as you were with me back then! I swear!"

After saying that, Tony turned and went into the house. He had something to announce inside!

Chapter 477 Anxious Tony

That's right, after Tony went back, he announced that he was going to remove the reactor from his chest!

Tony was actually planning to propose to Pepper when he was planning to move, and this house was Tony's home for Pepper.

Because he wanted to propose, Tony hoped that he could truly have a 'warm heart' as Pepper said, instead of the cold, glowing arc reactor on his chest.

Although we don't know what Tony was thinking in the yard, Pepper Potts was undoubtedly the happiest when he returned and announced that he would be undergoing surgery to remove the reactor from his chest.

At this moment, Sherlock also figured out what Tony was up to, and with a smile on his face, he wanted to give Tony a push.

"I can easily remove all the shrapnel for you using alchemy, and even the recovery can be left to Sister Hua; she's the most professional..."

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, before he could even finish speaking, Tony rejected his suggestion with a stern face.

"I refuse! I'd rather have a Muggle surgery! I'd even be willing to go to Sister Flower's for treatment afterward! But you, Sherlock, you little bastard, you'll never touch me in your entire life!"

"Hey~ I have such a short temper!"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Sherlock rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Tony without saying a word, even though Sherlock knew that this was probably just Tony trying to prove his bravery to Pepper.

The group was already used to the two of them rolling around in a ball, but Little Chili was the only one who was quite excited.

However, Pepper Potts wasn't excited about Tony and Sherlock's fight, but rather that Tony was finally going to become a 'normal person'. Heaven knows how long she had been trying to persuade Tony to have the surgery.

Ignoring Sherlock and Tony who were fighting, Pepper ran to the side and excitedly contacted the doctor to make preparations for the surgery.

Zhao Weike, holding Helen, stood still and quietly watched everything unfold before him.

"Is Tony planning to propose to Pepper?"

Helen, with a doting smile on her face, quietly leaned close to Zhao Weike's ear and asked him a question.

When Zhao Weike heard Helen's question, he paused for a moment, glanced at Tony and Pepper, whose eyes were red with excitement, and then put on the same maternal smile before quietly asking Helen.

"I don't know, how did you figure that out?"

"Tony's current reckless folly and insatiable desire for attention are exactly the same as yours back then!"

Helen covered her mouth with her hand, chuckling as she spoke to Zhao Weike. Hearing Helen's words, Zhao Weike's smile widened, and he glanced at Little Chili on the other side, whispering to Helen as well.

"I think so. Pepper's flustered yet unconscious excitement is exactly the same as yours back then."

After exchanging a glance, the couple both saw in each other's eyes the memories of the past and a knowing smile.

Zhao Weike and Helen did not reveal the unspoken feelings between the two. After leaving their gifts, they prepared to leave with Sherlock, wanting to leave the place to Tony and Pepper.

However, Sherlock, who had just fought with Tony, felt that he couldn't swallow his anger if he just left like this.

So, after delivering the promised gift of using alchemy to stabilize Tony's house in its current state, Sherlock forcefully left two more enormous stone lions at Tony's front gate before departing, satisfied.

Such childish behavior made Zhao Weike and Helen shake their heads in exasperation. There's always a reason why single people are single.

Fortunately, although the two stone lions didn't match the style of Xiaolajiao's house, Xiaolajiao liked them very much and kept them.

Logically, by this point, all the major events leading up to Christmas should be over, and we can start looking forward to Christmas and the Christmas celebrations that the PAB community will be hosting.

Tony's surgery was scheduled for after Christmas by Pepper Potts, so there was no rush. Moreover, with Flora and Sherlock around, it would be incredibly difficult for the surgery to fail.

But to Sherlock's utter surprise, for Tony, the real big event was only just beginning. In fact, due to his nervousness, Tony decisively chose to torment Sherlock.

That's right, Tony wants to propose to Pepper Potts!

As Iron Man, Tony Stark can remain calm in the face of all kinds of bad guys. In the Battle of New York, he dared to rush into the wormhole with a nuclear bomb, but he was extremely anxious about how to propose to Pepper Potts.

I'm even more anxious than during the time when I always felt insecure!

Tony had never felt so tense and anxious in his life. It was as if he was not proposing to the woman he loved most, but was about to engage in a life-or-death struggle!

This really tormented Sherlock.

Tony would come to Sherlock every day, looking anxious and nervous, but he wouldn't say anything when asked.

Sherlock wanted to take Tony fishing, but Tony refused; he wouldn't drink; he wouldn't take a bath; and finally, Sherlock even suggested taking Tony to get a foot massage—the kind with meat in it, anyone! He, Sherlock, would treat him, just to stop torturing himself!

Then Sherlock got a severe beating from Tony, and the next day he came to see Sherlock again, still anxious and nervous.

Sherlock was truly at his wit's end. If things continued like this, Sherlock didn't know what was going on with Tony, but he, Sherlock, might very well surpass Tony!

Therefore, left with no other choice, Sherlock decisively opted to call for reinforcements.

Based on the principle of proximity, the first person Sherlock swung to was Zhao Weike.

Zhao Weike arrived at Sherlock's house with a head full of questions. After seeing Tony, who seemed to be having an anxiety attack, and Sherlock, who was almost driven crazy by Tony, he immediately saw through the whole farce with his first words, just like an old Chinese medicine doctor.

"Tony, you're planning to propose to Pepper, but you don't know how, right?"

Tony: !!!

Sherlock: ? ? ? ?

"No way, you're proposing, fine, but you're torturing me... wait, Tony, you're going to propose to Pepper?!?!"

Sherlock only realized what Zhao Weike had said halfway through his rant, and looked at Tony in disbelief. Because Sherlock was so shocked, his voice was a little loud, and Tony practically scrambled over to cover Sherlock's mouth.

When Sherlock saw Tony's flustered state, which resembled the panicked look of Xiao Chu Nan when he first saw Teacher Hard Drive lying on his bed, he was certain that Zhao Weike's guess was entirely correct.

Sherlock struggled to pry Tony's hand off his mouth and looked at Zhao Weike across from him with a questioning expression.

"No, Lao Zhao, how the hell did you figure that out?"

"Of course! I was exactly like him back then... What's it to you?"

Sherlock & Tony: "Ohh ...

Chapter 478 When one person is in trouble, everyone else adds to the chaos.

I regret it so much!

If there's anything Tony regrets in his life, it's that tormenting Sherlock because of his proposal anxiety is definitely one of the most regrettable decisions he's ever made.

The reason is simple: if Sherlock, that scoundrel, finds out what he's up to, it's practically the same as broadcasting his plans to the world through a megaphone.

For example, right now, although the two of them were teasing Zhao Weike, Tony had already noticed that Sherlock had taken out his phone while teasing Zhao Weike with him.

Knowing Sherlock as Tony did, he could figure out what the bastard was up to even with a hemorrhoid. So, he immediately ignored Zhao Weike and lunged at Sherlock with his claws outstretched.

Sherlock had anticipated Tony's move. Before Tony pounced, four tentacles appeared on Sherlock's lower back, mimicking Frigga's approach to Thor.

They managed to tie Tony up like a maggot, leaving only two nostrils for breathing.

Zhao Weike looked at Tony, who was being held above his head by Sherlock's tentacles and struggling frantically like a maggot. Then, he glanced at the area where Sherlock's tentacles were extending towards his lower back. After a slight twitch of his lips, he gave Sherlock a very subtle warning.

"Hey Sherlock, I know you're young and always have needs, but I still suggest you don't go too wild. It's fine when you're young, but when you get old, it's really easy to run into trouble."

Sherlock: ?

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock, who was operating his phone, suddenly looked up with a huge question mark appearing above his head. Following Zhao Weike's gaze, Sherlock then noticed that Zhao Weike had been staring at the location where the tentacles were extending from his lower back.

Sherlock immediately realized what was going on and rolled his eyes at Zhao Weike in an annoyed manner.

"Take care of yourself! This is a new ability of mine, and even if I did awaken some unusual XP, it's not worth stuffing that secondhand Chengdu Heart into it just for power!"

Honestly, if Sherlock hadn't been so preoccupied with his phone, he would have definitely started fighting with Zhao Weike after hearing what he just said.

You're the one who can't hold a peep! Your whole family can't hold a peep!

While she was ranting and raving about Zhao Weike, Sherlock didn't stop. He quickly found a chat app on his phone, opened a group chat called 'Doubi Gathering Place', and sent a message.

As soon as Sherlock sent out his message, Zhao Weike's phone rang in his pocket. At the same time, Tony's phone, which was bound into maggots by Sherlock's tentacles, also rang.

Unlike Zhao Weike, Tony fell silent the moment he heard the notification sound from his phone in his pocket.

Although Tony was completely bound by Sherlock's tentacles in blue silver except for his nostrils, Zhao Weike, standing at the door, couldn't help but feel a faint aura of death emanating from him.
