"Ahem... Skye... do you remember what I talked to you about in our communication?"
Ye Li chose to change the topic and got straight to the point. "That's why I came this time."
"You mean… taking me to see the spaceship?"
Skye had a bit of ice cream on the corner of her mouth, looking adorable as she spoke.
"If it weren't for you saying so, I wouldn't have believed it... Moving the club headquarters to outer space~ Just thinking about it sounds amazing!"
"A spaceship? Going into outer space?"
Barbara widened her eyes and asked curiously, "How's that possible? Li, did you seize a spaceship from some alien enemies?"
"Hmm... something like that..."
Ye Li thought for a moment. After all, the Ghost Spider was a reward from the system after defeating Malekith, an alien.
Skye: "Li, then how do we travel between Earth and the headquarters?"
Ye Li nodded: "Good question."
To make interstellar travel simple and convenient, spatial methods like teleportation and portals were the best choices.
The options included—
The space-time gate from the Web of Fate.
The Snake Talisman's teleportation.
Space Stone's Portal.
Gwen's Shadow Leap Ability.
Knight Spider Suit's Anchor Tracking Function.
Among these, the most suitable was undoubtedly the space-time gate from the Web of Fate. It had a wide coverage and allowed continuous passage.
Moreover, since Ye Li is skilled in weaving magic, he only needs to allocate some Fate Spider Silk to allow others to open the Time-Space Gate as well.
Of course, this requires his permission as the controller.
"Come, Skye, I'll weave some outfits for you too."
"With these Fate Spider Silk outfits, you can open the spatial gate and enter the new headquarters."
After making up his mind, Ye Li used weaving magic on Skye and Barbara—
Skye: "Huh?"
Barbara: "What?"
Boom~~
Boom~~
Before the two beauties could react, their clothes disintegrated into threads and scattered on the ground...
"Wahh~!"
Skye hurriedly covered herself and asked urgently, "What's going on? Li, did you do this? Magic?"
"Is this... a stripping spell?"
Barbara's expression was also strange. "Li, you really haven't learned any proper magic!"
"Don't jump to conclusions. Just watch, you'll have new clothes in a moment."
Ye Li looked serious and didn't let his eyes wander.
After all, he had already seen everything before.
Now, he was just handling business.
He began channeling the Fate Spider Silk, preparing to weave for the two girls.
However... after trying for a while, he realized... there was no response?
[What's going on?]
Seeing Skye and Barbara's increasingly strange expressions, Ye Li started to panic.
If they misunderstood and thought he was just some perverted mage who only knew a stripping spell...
His reputation would be ruined.
After carefully sensing the issue, Ye Li finally realized the problem.
It turned out that the Fate Web had run out of extra spider silk. Forcing more would damage it.
He had to wait until more silk was produced before using it again...
Ye Li froze in embarrassment.
Barbara seized the chance to tease him, "So this is... the Emperor's New Clothes?"
Skye's face flushed slightly. This was the first time Ye Li had seen her entire body.
"Li... if you really want to see, I can just take it off for you... no need for all this..."
"..."
Ye Li, as thick-skinned as always, simply sighed.
"Hah~"
He exhaled and casually waved his hand as if nothing had happened—
The threads scattered around the two girls' feet reassembled on their bodies, forming stylish new outfits.
Thanks to Ye Li's artistic talents, he could improvise stylish clothing using weaving magic.
But... Barbara wasn't buying it.
Barbara: "Huh? ...Where's the portal? There's no space gate?"
Skye was also puzzled: "Li, are you messing with us?"
"Uh... something went wrong, let's talk about it later."
Ye Li took out the Serpent Talisman and casually tossed it to Skye.
He now has the Space Stone, which allows him to teleport instantly, and his battle suit can achieve absolute stealth.
The Snake Talisman's ability is completely redundant for him, so it's better to give it to Skye, who has no means of self-defense.
Snap.
Skye caught it, examined the talisman, and thought to herself: "[...How do I use this?]"
"Huh? What about mine?"
Barbara leaned her delicate face close to Ye Li, her blue eyes full of hope. "Don't I get one?"
Ye Li blinked but kept his expression unchanged.
"Barbara, I'll be spending time with Skye these next few days. You don't need to help protect her, so you can take a break for a few days."
"What—"
The blonde beauty stretched out the sound, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him, pouting. "Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it? You heartless man!"
"..."
Ye Li pinched her soft, bouncy cheeks. "Where'd you even learn those words?... I prepared a room for you in Sunnyvale. Stay there for a few days and hang out with Gwen and the others at night~"
"Ah... so that's what it is... You're inviting me as a guest..."
Barbara's eyes lit up, and her expression shifted as she pretended to be shy. "...Then I guess I can't refuse~"
She bounced lightly on her white sneakers and, in the blink of an eye, reached the door. "I'll go pack my bags now!"
Before leaving, she could still be heard quietly celebrating, "Heng~ I won, Natasha~"
Seeing her amusing reaction, Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle.
No matter how talented she was as a female agent, at the end of the day, she was still just a young woman in her early twenties, very different from Natasha.
As for why he didn't enhance Barbara...
It wasn't because Ye Li was treating her differently.
It was just that Barbara had never openly admitted her identity as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, indicating that she still had some internal restraints...
He had no intention of forcing the issue and preferred to wait patiently.
