Mysterious Girl Li Qianhuan
The girl who suddenly appeared seemed to have no idea what danger was. Seeing Doctor Doom gaining the upper hand in his battle against the Fantastic Four, she unexpectedly launched straight into taunting mode without a word of warning, unleashing a torrent of abuse at the formidable supervillain before her.
The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen. She had the handsome features unique to a mixed-race beauty, and judging by her looks alone, she even surpassed Daisy. She wore casual clothes on top and denim shorts below, radiating youthful energy from head to toe.
"Hmph!"
Doctor Doom’s heart had long since been consumed by hatred. Upon hearing the girl’s taunts, he merely snorted coldly before firing a bolt of electricity from the back of his hand without hesitation, blasting it toward the girl who had suddenly appeared.
He intended to kill without mercy everyone who dared oppose him, even if the other party was merely an innocent girl!
"Watch out!"
When Doctor Doom suddenly attacked, the Fantastic Four wanted to stop him, but how could they possibly make it in time? Only Invisible Woman Susan managed to issue a warning, though she knew it would be useless.
After all, electricity traveled far faster than sound!
Yet in the face of Doctor Doom’s sudden lethal attack, the girl remained perfectly calm. She extended a slender finger and lightly tapped the air before her.
"Buzz!"
With that tap of her jade-like finger, a Spatial Vortex instantly formed in front of her. Doctor Doom’s lightning reached the vortex and was immediately swallowed whole by it without the slightest resistance, vanishing without a trace.
Everyone froze in unison at the sight. This girl actually possessed the terrifying power to control space!
But in the next moment, the Spatial Vortex she had created with her finger suddenly shifted from illusion to reality, transforming into a pink bubble that looked breathtakingly beautiful.
However, after witnessing the bubble swallow the lightning, no one would mistake it for anything cute.
The girl then smiled faintly. The bubble before her instantly changed shape again, stretching and morphing as if it were being blown from glass, ultimately forming a crystalline pink throwing knife three inches and seven-tenths long.
"Off you go!"
The moment the blade finished taking shape, the girl lightly flicked her finger forward. The pink throwing knife transformed into a streak of light and shot into Doctor Doom’s chest with a sharp whoosh! His body, which had already turned to steel, offered not the slightest resistance against the casually thrown blade. Just like that, she sliced straight through his abdomen!
What incredible speed! What terrifying attack power!
Even Tony’s Iron Man suit probably could not withstand such an attack, right?
Yet the shock the girl brought them was far from over.
Doctor Doom’s body came to a complete stop where he stood. He was not dead. In fact, after his body had become metallic, he could easily suppress even fatal injuries, because a metal body did not bleed.
But even though he was still alive, he did not dare move in the slightest. The pink throwing knife created by the girl was still lodged inside him. That unbelievably sharp energy blade had not stopped inside his body because it encountered resistance. The only reason it had not pierced straight through him was that the girl wanted it to stop. That was all.
Looking at Doctor Doom’s stunned expression, the girl giggled and spoke again. "When dealing with bad people, you should eliminate evil completely. So I have no intention of negotiating with you. Just go die. Boom!"
The final "Boom!" was spoken by the girl herself, making it sound especially playful.
Yet following her joking sound effect, the throwing knife inside Doctor Doom suddenly exploded. It formed a twisted Spatial Vortex that, under the Fantastic Four’s watchful eyes, tore Doctor Doom’s metal body to pieces and then sucked every fragment into the vortex, making them vanish completely.
Instant kill!
The effect of this attack was practically comparable to the Dark Elves’ antimatter bomb from back then.
After easily blasting Doctor Doom into scraps, the girl turned her gaze toward the Fantastic Four, who were standing dazed nearby. She blinked her innocent, guileless eyes and reminded them, "I just helped you deal with a huge problem. Shouldn’t you at least thank me?"
"Oh, thank you so much."
The first to react and speak was Human Torch of the Fantastic Four. This man, whose appearance resembled Captain America’s, had immediately lit up with interest upon seeing the mixed-race girl. Now that she had defeated the enemy and even taken the initiative to speak to them, he transformed without hesitation into a streak of flame and rushed toward her. "Little sister, thank you so much this time. How about I take you out for a meal to show my gratitude?"
Facing Human Torch’s fiery enthusiasm, the girl merely waved her hand. Another ripple of spatial energy surged up, forming a barrier between her and Human Torch. Unable to stop in time, Human Torch crashed straight into it. The expected disaster never occurred. Instead, the spatial passage created by the girl teleported him behind Reed and the others, sending him far away from her.
Looking at Human Torch’s bewildered expression, the girl said, "I heard you’re a famous Playboy, so you’d better stay away from me. This is only a warning. Next time, I might not be able to hold back, and it wouldn’t be good if I hurt you."
Looking at the girl who manipulated spatial power as easily as turning her hand, Human Torch could not help saying to his older sister, Invisible Woman, "Her ability reminds me of someone."
In fact, he was not the only one. The other three people present had all thought of that man at the same time.
The Fantastic Four looked solemnly at the girl. As their leader, Mister Fantastic was the first to speak. "Thank you for your help. May I ask your name?"
"Certainly." After a slight pause, the girl answered word by word, "My name is Li Qianhuan."
The moment the girl finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt their vision blur. Then they saw a familiar figure appear between them and Li Qianhuan.
The newcomer first nodded slightly toward Reed before turning his gaze to the mixed-race girl named Li Qianhuan. "Your name is Li Qianhuan, right? ‘A thousand joys and myriad blessings, a lifetime of happiness.’ Not bad. It really is a wonderful name."
The newcomer was an Asian man, tall and striking, with an extraordinary bearing. Even dressed in nothing more than ordinary casual clothes, he naturally inspired a feeling of looking up at a lofty mountain. His appearance seemed to combine every virtue of the human race, perfectly blending refinement, masculinity, charm, and composure into one. A single glance was enough to make him unforgettable.
Throughout the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, the only person who could possess such unparalleled looks and carefree bearing was naturally Li Congxin.
Seeing Li Congxin appear, the girl first looked him up and down several times with curiosity, then said in a faintly provocative tone, "And then?"
Despite the girl’s rudeness, Li Congxin was not angry in the slightest. Instead, he felt that her fearlessness, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, rather resembled the way he had been in his youth.
He smiled faintly and calmly asked, "You actually possess the energy of the Cosmic Cube within your body. Just who are you?"
The girl raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Why should I tell you?"
Li Congxin chuckled lightly at her response. You think that if you refuse to tell me, I’ll have no way to deal with you?
With a thought, his immense mental power silently extended toward the girl. With just a little observation, it would not be difficult to discover the truth.
However, Li Congxin had not expected this.
The moment his mental power entered the area within three feet of the girl, it was rebuffed by a force that felt strangely familiar, yet was something he had definitely never encountered before.
His probing had failed, and Li Congxin could not help staring in slight surprise. He felt that the energy within the girl was strangely familiar. When he looked again at her threads of fate, they were perfectly clear. The thickest one, however, was actually tightly connected to Li Congxin himself!
After bouncing back Li Congxin’s mental probe, the girl’s brows rose sharply. She said without the slightest courtesy, "Don’t let your mental power come near me, you scumbag!"
Scumbag?
Li Congxin felt somewhat angry upon hearing that.
Was he a scumbag?
Perhaps…
But if those words had come from Hill or Ava, he would have accepted them. Taking it a step further, if Daisy or Nalan Bai had said it, Li Congxin would have merely laughed it off.
But how could some unknown little girl like her dare to say that? What gave her the right?
Even if he was a scumbag, he had not been a scumbag to her, had he!?
He wanted to teach this ignorant, arrogant little brat a lesson. But when he saw her aggrieved expression, he found himself unable to bring his hand down. Even when he tried to lecture her, he could not figure out what to say once the words reached his lips.
Seriously, where had this little girl come from?
Which heartless bastard had raised such an ill-mannered brat? If Li Congxin ever met her parents, he would surely have to teach them a lesson.
"Hmph!" Li Qianhuan clearly knew that she was no match for Li Congxin. After giving a cold snort, she suddenly spun around, leaving everyone with a graceful back view. Then she took one step and vanished right before Li Congxin and the Fantastic Four.
Seeing that the girl had already left, Li Congxin was puzzled, but he had no intention of following her to investigate.
After all, she had already called him a scumbag. He had no interest in pressing his warm face against someone else’s cold rear. Besides, given that girl’s abilities, she should not encounter any danger on Earth.
Why should I worry about that unlucky brat?
Li Congxin shook his head and stopped thinking about the ill-mannered brat named Li Qianhuan. He turned to Reed and said, "I came to find you today because I originally wanted to discuss protecting Earth with you. I did not expect you to run into trouble beforehand, so I arrived a little late. I hope you won’t take offense."
