Pika Pika No Mi In Marvel - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Little Jean’s Idol

“Hmm?!” Yu Feng’s face remained expressionless, his expression incredibly cold. As the door opened, he could see several unconscious bodies scattered behind him. Jean and Nightcrawler followed beside him, looking curious and observing their surroundings.

Of course, Yu Feng had come here to meet the legendary Caliban. However, before he could fully comprehend the scene before him, a familiar and somewhat affectionate voice rang out:

“Little brother… is that you?!”

“Huh…” Yu Feng looked at the person with a slightly strange expression. He saw a blond woman with a surprised expression looking at him. Then he widened his eyes, his mouth twitching.

“Oh… What a coincidence, right?”

“Mhm,” Mystique said happily. It had been a year without any news from Yu Feng, and she had been somewhat disappointed. But now, seeing him, and in Caliban’s presence, could it be that this little guy suddenly remembered her and came to find her?

With that thought, Mystique became even happier, her face blooming with a smile.

Caliban looked utterly confused behind them. In all these years, he had never seen Mystique with such a happy expression, which startled him.

Jean and Nightcrawler wore puzzled expressions, especially Jean. Seeing the other woman exuding such sexiness, her little face couldn’t help but become unhappy. She immediately looked at Yu Feng and asked, “Yu, who is this woman? Do you know her?”

“Uh…” Yu Feng opened his mouth, feeling somewhat helpless. How should he answer? With the way Mystique treated him like a little brother, occasionally behaving affectionately, anything he said would probably be futile. Jean was the type to quickly get jealous.

“So, your name is ‘Yu’?” Mystique approached at that moment, smiling. “I haven’t heard from you all year, and suddenly you come to find me today? Did you spend a year considering and finally decide to follow me?”

Yu Feng slapped his forehead. It seemed that the entire situation was bound to collapse from the beginning…

As expected, upon hearing Mystique’s words, Jean’s little face instantly became completely unhappy. Her gaze swept over Mystique, carrying a hint of killing intent. Without hesitation, she tapped into Mystique’s memories, and then… her little face suddenly froze. “Huh?”

Yu Feng blinked in surprise and looked at Jean, who remained calm and quiet. What was this little girl up to? Why was she so calm? Was she harboring jealousy?

At that moment, Jean’s eyes suddenly lit up with an excitement akin to seeing an idol. She exclaimed, “You… You are her?! Mystique? The hero of us mutants during the Washington incident?!”

“Hmm?” Nightcrawler, hearing Jean’s words, blinked in surprise, and his eyes also lit up. Mystique furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Jean, surprised and somewhat helpless.

Yu Feng, on the other hand, wore a bewildered expression. What was going on? This scene seemed quite different from what he had imagined! Mystique, the hero of the Washington incident?

He finally understood. Mystique and Magneto became well-known figures among mutants due to the Washington incident in 1973. While Magneto was internationally wanted, Mystique became respected by mutants worldwide.

Jean felt that way.

Nightcrawler felt that way.

Even Storm, who was far away in Egypt, felt that way.

Realizing this, Yu Feng couldn’t help but feel relieved. It seemed that Jean had probed into Mystique’s memories and discovered her identity. She didn’t need to worry about this little girl getting jealous.

“Pretty little sister, I’m not exactly a hero,” Mystique said, looking at Jean and gently patting her head, her voice gentle. “You can call me Raven if you don’t mind. Sister Raven is fine.”

“Mhm, okay, Sister Raven,” Jean obediently nodded. “I’m Jean Grey.”

“Uh, um, can I also call you Sister Raven…?” Nightcrawler weakly asked from the side.

“Of course!” Mystique smiled.

At this moment, she appeared as a kind and gentle older sister, far from the dominant demeanor of Mystique.

Caliban, who was watching from behind, seemed astounded by the transformation.

“Cough! Ahem!” Although taken aback by Mystique’s gentle appearance, Caliban quickly regained his composure. He took the photo that Mystique had brought and coughed before saying, “Caliban has already prepared the identification cards, Mystique. By the way, Caliban wants to remind you… those three kids have gotten themselves into some trouble they shouldn’t have. You might want to…”

“Trouble they shouldn’t have?” Mystique looked at Caliban with confusion. After pausing for a moment, she took out another roll of money and tossed it in front of Caliban. “What kind of trouble?”

Caliban chuckled, “Caliban likes you, Mystique. That’s why Caliban will give you this information for free.”

“Some time ago, someone asked Caliban for information about powerful mutants. So Caliban told them about the Egyptian fighting arena,” Caliban said while taking the money. “Unfortunately, among those three kids, one of them is a mutant that Caliban considers quite powerful. They must have just come from the circus.”

As Caliban spoke, his expression suddenly changed. “It seems like many people are coming this way, including some powerful brainwashed mutant puppets. They’re probably here to do business with Caliban.”

“Mystique, if you still want to stay here with those three lovely children, Caliban might have to break some of your belongings. Fighting here is not something Caliban likes.”

Mystique immediately sensed the danger in Caliban’s words. She looked at Yu Feng and the others, especially Yu Feng, seeming somewhat hesitant. But soon, she said, “Let’s go quickly.”

It was Yu Feng’s calm voice that spoke at that moment. He looked at Mystique and said, “I came here today to do something. How can I just leave like this? If someone is coming, then let them come.”
