Chapter 66 New Tenant
Chapter 66 New Tenant
Spider-Man noticed the loophole: "[Pure Beauty] guy? Do you know who he is?"
In response, Jason gave his own explanation: "They are believers of the pure and beautiful star god Idrila, known as the Pure and Beautiful Knights. Their purpose is to spread the belief in pure beauty in every corner of the universe."
"How do you know so much?"
"I was in the hospital because of the explosion, and I went to Luofu to recover from my injuries. It's inevitable that you will learn some new and strange things in the universe after staying in Luofu for a long time."
Peter realized belatedly: "So you are the second son of Mr. Wayne, the richest man in Gotham?"
A few days ago, Gotham's sensational news dominated the news list for a week, hyping up the resurrection of Bruce Wayne's second son. It sounded eye-catching and sensational, but it was actually not the case at all.
Reports say that after the terrorist attack, Wayne deliberately concealed his information in order to protect his children, and only allowed him to return to the public eye after he had fully recovered.
Is Luofu's hospital so effective? Jason doesn't look like he's been bombed at all, it's like he's been refreshed.
"That's right. Are you happy? One rich friend left and another one came."
"It's hard to say, but what does Luofu look like? I've only seen some in Captain America's live broadcast room. Those wooden boats flying in the sky are so cool. I heard that Luofu people are immortal. Is that true?"
"I didn't see that much when I was lying in the hospital. The Luofu people are not immortal. They are also troubled by death and disease. In comparison, they just live a little longer."
Jason said, and took Peter's neck, using his body to lead him away from the previous place, blocking his sight as he walked, and diverted Peter's attention with other topics:
"What gift are you going to get Harry?"
This put Spider-Man in a difficult position. As everyone knows, Harry Osborn is a wealthy second-generation rich man, while Peter Parker is a poor boy whose parents had both passed away and was adopted by Aunt May.
Looking at Peter lost in thought, Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He made an excuse, saying that his home was not on that side, and said goodbye to him at the corner of the street.
"Okay, please take care of one. Now let me see what this guy is here for." Jason watched Peter's back as he walked away and returned to the street he had just been to.
Yinzhi had finally finished praising the Christmas tree abandoned in the corner and had just walked out of the alley, intending to observe this strange city with an appreciative eye, when he saw a man wearing a mask and light armor blocking his way.
"Hello sir, I am Yinzhi, is there anything I can help you with? Or have you heard my praise and want to learn more about our goddess, Lady Idrila?"
Yinzhi's eyes lit up, and she wanted to spread her beliefs. It would be such a wonderful thing if someone could truly recognize the beauty of [Pure Beauty] and sincerely believe in Lady Idrila!
"Stop, stop, stop. I just want to ask you, why did the Pure Beauty Knight appear on this planet? Is there an invasion by some ancient beast?"
Jason interrupted him quickly. He didn't want to hear this guy's praise again. Damn, why was his vocabulary so rich?
Yinzhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was originally touring the universe, looking for the traces of the pure goddess, but I heard that the abundant army was coming to besiege the Xianzhou Alliance, so I drove my [Rare in the World] to help Xianzhou."
Unfortunately, he arrived too late and didn't know that the abundance was fished out by the fairy boat. Not only did he make a wasted trip, but the spaceship was also damaged while sailing.
"So I can only stay here temporarily and wait for the spacecraft to be repaired."
"And your spaceship?"
"It was parked in the suburbs and no one noticed it."
Jason believed him, because the Pure Knight would really do that: "Then come with me, I will help you solve your identity problem."
As the ambassador of Luofu, he sometimes has to take care of these alien guests part-time.
Peter Parker stuffed his spider suit into his schoolbag and walked towards home hesitantly.
Thank God, there was no one there when he returned to the alley, otherwise he was not sure how long he would have to wait. The worst case scenario was that his battle suit would be discovered and he would lose his heroic vest less than a year after his debut.
As he walked, he began to think about Jason's question: What gift should he give Harry?
His pocket money has been used to make spider props recently, and he is very tight on money. But Aunt Mei has a hard time supporting the family, so maybe he should find a part-time job. I heard that the pizza shop is still short of a delivery man.
"Aunt Mei, I'm going to reply... is it you?"
Peter's eyes widened, as if he had seen an elephant appear in the living room with a teacup.
He looked in surprise at the guy who had been talking endlessly to the Christmas tree in the alley just now. He was even wearing that silver-white armor with gorgeous patterns, and every time he looked back, there was a damn rose petal special effect.
At this time, the red-haired man was sitting on the sofa in their house, holding a cup of hot cocoa specially made by Aunt Mei.
Looking at this man sitting on the shabby sofa but still shining, Peter even felt that he was not on the same level as him.
"Hello, I am Silver Branch, a member of the Pure Knights. I greet you with the heavy weight of a rose."
The incredibly handsome man stood up and saluted Peter like a character in a knight novel. He had distinctive features, like a figure walking out of an ancient scroll.
Spider-Man felt that even if a real knight appeared here, his temperament could not be more noble than Silver Branch.
With his bright red hair and emerald green eyes, the word rose naturally appears in everyone's mind.
"Um, I'm Peter Parker, the nephew of this family," he replied stiffly, imitating a nondescript return of greeting, "Do you know Aunt May?"
"Aunt Mei, the elegant and wise lady you mentioned? She is so kind and benevolent. After hearing that I had nowhere to stay, she generously decided to rent me a room. I will always remember her noble character."
It's unbelievable. This guy is sprinkling rose petals while talking, and his whole body is sparkling. And what's with the lighting?
"Yinzhi! Come up and see your room!"
A voice came over and Peter sounded a little familiar.
Jason poked his head out from the stairs and turned to see Peter Parker:
"Hey Peter, what are you doing here?"
Peter: "Is there a possibility that this is my home?"
Jason suddenly realized: "So you are Mei's nephew?"
"So what is going on?" Peter complained helplessly.
Yinzhi came out with his rose: "Please allow me to explain to you, Mr. Parker, when I was in trouble, this righteous and kind Mr. Jason, because of his noble character, decided to lend me a helping hand.
He is so kind that I can't help but feel ashamed, because if it were me, I would also ask them to praise the unparalleled beauty of Goddess Idrila when I rescued them, but this Mr. Jason selflessly extended a helping hand to me..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Jason interrupted Yinzhi's long speech. You know, he had been praising the Christmas tree for two hours before they found him.
"I found out that he had nowhere to go, so I decided to pay to find him a place to stay. I happened to see your house for rent advertisement in a real estate agency, so I brought him here to try his luck."
Jason said briefly that this guy's identity was rather complicated and there were many formalities to go through, and he couldn't just leave him sitting on the bench all night, so he could only settle him down first.
"Thank you for your generosity, but I will definitely pay you back. I believe you don't care about these material things, but they are part of my practice."
Yinzhi spoke politely, the light above his head had not disappeared yet, as if it was maintaining his brilliance all the time.
"Dear, the room is ready, why don't you come over?"
Aunt Mei's voice came from the room. She sounded very happy. Who could blame the new tenant for being such a handsome young man?
Considering Yinzhi's face, even if this tenant has a little bit of Don Quixote complex, it's just a small amusement. Everyone has some quirks, right?
"I'll be right there, pretty lady."
Yinzhi happily went to see his room. It was not his virtue to keep the lady waiting for a long time. Peter took the opportunity to pull Jason over:
"Why would you help him? What is the [Pure Knights]?"
Considering that Luofu is going to connect all countries with the stars, there are some things that the people will know sooner or later. Jason thought about it for a moment and answered seriously:
"He is an alien who believes in the goddess of pure beauty, Idrila. His spaceship is damaged, and he has nowhere to go until it is repaired."
"Are you kidding me?"
Peter looked at Jason expectantly, a hopeful gleam in his eyes, clear and stupid.
Jason looked back at him with a weird smile on his face.
"…You're kidding, right?"
Peter Parker accepts that Silverbranch is an alien.
Jason patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Nowadays, people are all about interstellarization and connecting with the universe. Wouldn't it make your house look more upscale if you have an alien tenant? Besides, it's not like I won't pay you."
As the second son newly found by the richest man, he has at least three black cards, one given by Bruce, one given by Tim, and one as a friendly sponsorship from S.H.I.E.L.D.
You ask Dick? As a small policeman in Blüdhaven, he was so poor that he could only give a bag of cereal.
Jason accepted it with disgust.
Spider-Man buried his face in his hands. After he gained super powers and became Spider-Man, an alien tenant came to their house. It was very cruel. He knew that reality was not a novel and reality was illogical, but he didn't expect it to be so magical.
If Jason told him one day that he was a living dead, he wouldn't think there was anything strange about it, as long as Harry didn't become a super villain when he returned from Rover.
Jason paid half a year's rent in one go. He looked so handsome holding the black card that Peter, who was strapped for money, felt like he saw the light of hope.
Maybe Jason would agree to lend him some cash in recognition of his hosting of an alien tenant.
