Together with the fragrant tongue, it stirred, thoroughly smearing on a faint jasmine scent, covering up the original shinan-flower smell.
Hen~Hen~
The white-haired beauty lightly sniffed the elegant fragrance at the tip of her nose; her little mouth also carefully savored the taste of petals blended with essence, her pretty face full of intoxication, and she mumbled, "Wu... this really does feel a lot better now ~"
Hearing that, Ye Li rubbed her head and pretended to be displeased. "What you mean... is that you think the original smell was really stinky?"
"Not reaaally.... it's just kind of weird.... cough!" Clea was talking when she suddenly choked on the tasty stuff.
She placed her slender hand on her neck to soothe it, cleared the blockage in her throat, and then continued dully, "...it just smells uncomfortable, way too pungent...."
"You'll get used to it. Wanda and the others eat it often too—though they couldn't stand it at first, now they're already fighting over it."
Ye Li also kept rubbing Clea's hair, reminding her, "Take your time enjoying it. I'll go handle something first.".
"Mm...!" Clea nodded up and down vigorously in reply.
"Not bad~"
Seeing how obedient and compliant she was, Ye Li felt very pleased. He closed his eyes to sense it, and his perception linked over to Solus's side————
…..
Knowhere.
Through shared vision Ye Li saw—
Drax was lying on the ground, pinned under Ronan's foot.
Obviously.
In his injured state.
Drax ultimately slipped, lost a move, and was defeated by Ronan....
…..
And Ronan had quite a few injuries on him as well, but, they were all light wounds, nothing serious, with a physique that could hold the Power Stone barehanded for a few seconds, he'd recover soon enough.
…..
Rocket Raccoon and the others were also surrounded by Ronan's forces; the situation looked grim.
Star-Lord looked at the unmoving Solus and couldn't help griping, "Hey! Brother! Did you fall asleep? You could at least shout 'go team'!"
"Another one...."
Hearing Star-Lord's words, Ronan finally noticed Solus, who seemed devoid of life..... looking even more like a piece of wood than Groot.
"Is the Infinity Stone on you?" Ronan formed this suspicion and dragged his warhammer as he walked toward the towering Solus.
In a sense he guessed right; although Solus certainly didn't have a stone on him, Ye Li had five in his hand....
….
"Ronan..."
From beneath Solus's cloak, a heavy voice suddenly sounded, "I only need to exert myself slightly... and that's already your limit..."
Ronan: ???
"Arrogant bastard!!"
Ronan was provoked into rage by those words, gripping the hammer in reverse as he charged and smashed it down at Solus's head!
Clang!!
Solus's thick arm thrust from beneath his robe and effortlessly seized the hammer's haft....
Come to think of it, he was also skilled with a long-handled warhammer...
Therefore.
Ye Li didn't control him to fight, but let him bring out his instincts.
Pang~!!
Solus yanked the hammer's handle and shoved backhanded, the butt end of the handle slamming hard into Ronan's shoulder.
"Ugh!" Ronan felt a burst of soreness and pain, his grip failing—he instantly had the hammer snatched away by Solus.
fire!"
Seeing the boss take a loss, the underlings all aimed their guns at Solus—
"Stop them!"
Star-Lord had waited forever for Solus to finally move, he naturally wouldn't let him be disturbed; he immediately, together with Rocket and the others, provided covering fire toward Solus's side.
'At least you're somewhat useful...'
Ye Li thought, watching the situation on that side while his hand pressed tighter, releasing even more essence into the warm, moist environment filled with floral fragrance.
"En!!... Wu!... Gulu..... Gulu...."
…..
No one interfered.
Solus flicked the warhammer and hooked Ronan, hauling his body up into the air.
Huen~————peng!!
After spinning him once, he smashed him down hard onto the ground, collapsing the earth!
"Urk!!" Ronan spat out a huge mouthful of blood, even his blackened teeth stained through.
Finding himself outmatched, he hurriedly shouted to his men, "Quick! Launch the warships! Scour the ground with fire!!"
Hearing the order, the subordinates immediately scrambled into the ships; the activated fleet blanketed the sky over the area.
"Crap! We can't handle warships!"
Rocket Raccoon looked at the cannon-gun in his paws and felt this thing probably couldn't bring down a ship.
Under the fleet's cover, Ronan stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and snarled, "Where is the Infinity Stone? I'll ask one last time! If you won't say, you'll turn to dust along with your secret!"
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!.....
The moment his words fell, violent explosions rang out repeatedly in the sky—the fleet of ships actually turned into balls of firework-like flames, lighting up everyone's pupils.
"What's going on?!"
Watching the wreckage of ship after ship fall, Ronan couldn't help feeling a little bewildered....
However, he soon had his answer.
Hu~
Two figures walked out from within the flames, one man and one woman, both graceful and striking.
Only, the purple-clad beauty seemed to have trouble moving—her body leaned lightly against the man, and her violet lips moved as she kept trying hard to swallow something......
