American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

Chapter 31: Secrets of the Morlun Family! The Spider Totem Bearer!



Cindy's house.

After Ye Li was dragged over by Cindy.

He watched as she carefully closed the metal front door.

Then she locked it with a large turn-wheel lock...

"It's said that girls who feel insecure need affection, gentle caresses, being held…"

Ye Li started getting cheeky again.

"Alright, teacher, stop talking."

Cindy pulled him down to sit, "For important things, we should be extra careful."

Then, she began telling him about the Morlun family.

The Morlun family can appear across various multiverses, with animal totem bearers as their hunting targets. (Examples of animal totem bearers include Spider-Man, Black Panther, etc.)

Morlun can sever the connection between humans and animals, turning totem bearers into powerless beings, making them a great threat to Spider Totem Bearers.

After all, they'd become ordinary humans, how could they fight?

So Cindy's worries weren't without reason.

But Ye Li was not paying much attention, "Has Morlun appeared yet?"

"Huh?"

Cindy hesitated, "No… but they will appear in this universe sooner or later. We need to be cautious!"

"Then don't worry too much."

Ye Li comforted her, "Don't close yourself off before the enemy even appears."

Cindy grabbed her hair again, "What should I do then?"

Ye Li: "Eat well, drink well, sleep well. Oh, and one important thing."

Cindy: "What?"

Ye Li said, "I still need to eat lunch since you dragged me here."

"Ah… sorry, I forgot because we're talking."

Cindy also felt her stomach growling. She got up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll cook."

As she said that.

She saw that Ye Li was still holding her clothes in his arms and quickly ran over to him.

"Give me back my clothes~"

As a homebody living alone.

Cindy's cooking skills were quite good.

She made a meal that looked quite presentable.

After learning that Ye Li was of Chinese descent.

She even took out tomatoes and eggs from the fridge.

She made a simple bowl of tomato egg drop soup.

Ye Li felt he was quite lucky.

Not only were the girls he met all beautiful, but they were also quite thoughtful.

Gwen doesn't need much explanation.

She had a lively yet gentle and kind personality, loved him deeply, and had already secretly played all kinds of "games" before they even officially started dating;

Jessica, though mischievous at times, was always the one to cook at home, and she enjoyed it.

While he took care of her, she also took care of him.

Even Skye, whom he had known for a shorter time, had recently been serving as his thoughtful assistant.

And they all thought he was just an ordinary person with no extraordinary abilities.

Uh... his "money ability" doesn't really count, after all, compared to Tony Stark, Ye Li really isn't that rich.

So, who said that in the Marvel world, you need superpowers to get the girls~

"What are you thinking about?"

Cindy, having lunch with Ye Li, reminded him, "Don't get any bad ideas~ Otherwise, you can leave this afternoon. I won't let you stay the night."

"I was dragged here by you, it's not like I came on my own."

Ye Li shamelessly moved his chair closer to Cindy, "Cindy, do you have some misunderstanding of me? I'm a gentleman!"

"Don't get closer to me."

Cindy quickly moved away, afraid that the strange attraction would kick in again, "I won't be able to stop myself!"

"Alright."

Ye Li stopped teasing her and asked seriously, "How did you find out about Morlun?"

"It's Spider-Sense!

Spider-Sense told me!"

Cindy began explaining seriously.

It turns out that all Spider Totem Bearers' abilities come from the [World Weaver].

As the chosen central weaver of the [Web]—[Bride], Cindy's Spider-Sense is the most powerful among all Spider Totem Bearers.

Information about various Spider Totem Bearers across parallel universes occasionally gets transmitted through the [Web] to her, the center.

As a result, Cindy's Spider-Sense can even foresee certain fragments of the future.

"That's so awesome?"

Ye Li gave her a peanut, "So can you predict how many lovers I'll have in the future?"

"Cough—!"

Cindy nearly choked on her egg drop soup, speechless, "I can't predict on my own... and by the way, teacher, I need to remind you that America practices monogamy."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Ye Li took a sip of the fruit-flavored beer Cindy handed him, confidently saying, "I'll definitely break through the universe in the future."

"..."

Cindy also gave him a peanut.

Don't just drink, eat more vegetables.

"You don't have to always call me teacher, Cindy. I've only taught you once, just call me Li."

Ye Li took the opportunity to get closer.

When Skye calls him teacher, it's for fun, but if Cindy, who just met him, calls him teacher, it feels distant.

"Okay, Li~"

Cindy also took the opportunity to ask curiously, "So, Li, as a Spider Totem Bearer, do you have any special abilities?"

It seemed like it was time to reveal his abilities for the first time in front of someone.

What ability should I showcase...

Should I say I'm actually a drawing spider and my special ability is being really good at painting?

Cindy would definitely be mad. After all, she's already shared so many secrets with him.

After thinking for a moment.

Ye Li thought of his wall-climbing ability, which he hadn't used before. The principle of this ability was strong static electricity.

So he raised one hand.

Blue arcs of electricity began to form in his palm.

Electricity danced at his fingertips.

With the enhancement from his weather manipulation powers, Ye Li could discharge electricity from his hands, just like Miles' the little black spider.

And much stronger.
