Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 552: Xiao Yao knocking on the Door while Ah Xue cooking in the Kitchen

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone instinctively glanced in the direction of the entrance.

The person emerging from the villa was not just anyone, but a charming young girl with deep blue long hair and golden ringed eyes, dressed in a clean and neat traditional maid's outfit.

"What the—?"

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Mo was completely stunned: "…Ah Xue?"

Yes, Fang Mo's surprise was genuinely not feigned.

Ever since he acquired the Pure White Time-Space, Fang Mo rarely used this particular villa anymore.

Including the Ender Dragon, the Loli Sex Devil, and Ah Xue, everyone had been brought by Fang Mo into the Pure White Time-Space, where they lived in a state of semi-freedom on a daily basis.

Originally, Ah Xue lived inside the Rahab Ice Magic Sword, but frankly speaking, the sword wasn't very powerful, and Fang Mo rarely used it, so he simply let Ah Xue stay in the Pure White Time-Space and would visit for a few days whenever he had free time.

However, Fang Mo had recently brought over his partner.

Because he feared a fire in the backyard, Fang Mo also hadn't visited the Pure White Time-Space for a long time.

So how exactly Ah Xue ended up in the villa... even Fang Mo himself was a bit unclear, was it during the recent time when he had the Supreme Intelligence help him expand the villa?

While Fang Mo was pondering these matters.

The Snow Queen slowly walked up to Fang Mo, smiling slightly and bowing gently: "Master, long time no see."

"Ah... oh."

Fang Mo responded subconsciously.

"Are these all guests?"

Different from what Fang Mo imagined, Ah Xue showed no abnormalities but was as always gently smiling: "Master, are you traveling again?"

"I guess so."

After a brief conversation, Fang Mo gradually relaxed: "Let me introduce you, this is Saitama, this robot is his disciple Genos, this one is the Doctor from the Tower of Babel, along with his subordinate, the Gorilla Captain and the Grave Digger Mouse..."

After introducing everyone.

Fang Mo then turned to introduce them to Ah Xue.

"This is my housemaid." Fang Mo pointed at Ah Xue and said, "She usually takes care of household chores and looks after my meals."

"Hello, my name is Ah Xue."

Hearing this, Ah Xue also greeted everyone openly.

"Oh, hello."

Saitama, too, politely greeted her back but soon seemed a bit envious, turning to Fang Mo and remarking, "You must be quite wealthy, not just with such a big house, but also specifically hiring a maid…"

"Correction, Ah Xue isn't someone I hired with money."

Fang Mo shrugged his shoulders at Saitama.

"That is...?"

"I made her myself." Fang Mo spread his hands: "You can think of her as some sort... hmm, magical creation, though that said, she indeed has her own thoughts and is no different from you, so I treat her as a person on a daily basis."

Hearing Fang Mo say this, Ah Xue, standing not far away, looked up at him quite moved, though she didn't speak.

"Eh? Really?"

Saitama touched his head in surprise: "Magic can do that too?"

"Sensei, this method is not unusual."

Just then, Genos reminded him, "Actually, with high technology, self-aware robots can also be created, Doctor Kuseno told me this."

"Indeed."

And nearby, Doctor Genus, seemingly lost in thought, murmured in agreement: "Biotechnology is similar, capable of creating independent-thinking specimens."

"Then it seems I was ignorant..."

Hearing this, Saitama nodded subconsciously, but then, looking up at the grand villa in front of him, his envy resurfaced: "Damn, if I hadn't failed to register at the Hero Association, I might have money for a house change by now, maybe even afford a maid..."

"Sensei, I can help with household chores."

Genos immediately responded, "If you don't mind, I can bring my luggage and visit tomorrow, making sure you won't lose to anyone."

"Ah, no."

Saitama quickly refused: "I was just complaining casually, my house is too small for two people."

"I'll pay rent."

"Then come over tonight, not tomorrow."

"Are you two uncomfortable if you don't show off your deep bond as master and disciple?" After hearing the conversation between Saitama and Genos, Fang Mo felt his blood pressure rising again, clenching his fists: "That's too much..."

Then, he turned to look at the Ancient One next to him.

"You, come over tonight!"

There was no room for negotiation as Fang Mo commanded fiercely.

"..."

Ancient One silently looked at Fang Mo, understanding to go along with him, then nodded: "Okay, but just so you know, I don't have money for rent."

"That's fine, I have plenty of money."

As Fang Mo spoke, he pulled out a basketball-sized gold nugget and handed it to the Ancient One: "You stay for a day, I'll pay you for a day's lodging, spend it freely, and if you spend it all, I lose."

"..."

Seeing this scene, Saitama was momentarily stunned.

Then quickly, he turned to Genos and started speaking: "Genos, why don't you just go and stay at Fang Mo's place, then we can split the rent he gives you in half..."

"No problem, Sensei."

Genos nodded immediately, then looked at Fang Mo: "Mr. Fang Mo..."

"Get lost."

Fang Mo rolled his eyes: "My house only accommodates women for lodging, men go sleep in the dog house... oh no, that house is for my daughter, you guys sleep on the ground."

"Did I just hear some strange statement..."

Saitama couldn't help but facepalm.

"Don't mind the details." Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively: "Enough standing around chatting here, let's go inside, I heard it's customary in Japan to greet your neighbors after moving in, so as your neighbor today, I invite you to a feast."

After saying this.

Fang Mo led the way into the villa.

"Let's go, guests."

Unlike Fang Mo, Ah Xue was always impeccable in her manners, having been trained in the Joestar household for over a decade. She politely smiled and then led the group towards the villa, her demeanor faultless.

Soon.

Everyone was ushered into the villa.

It's worth mentioning that this villa was no longer the one designed by Stark.

Back in the Marvel Universe, Fang Mo had handed the villa over to the Supreme Intelligence, asking it to use Stark's design as a blueprint and upgrade it.

So now the villa not only looked more beautiful but also had significantly enhanced internal space, decorations, and functionality. The main structure alone was now four stories tall, not counting the two basement levels, making it the ultimate otaku's paradise.

"How rich is this guy?"

At the moment, Saitama sat on the couch, sipping freshly brewed tea, and couldn't help but mutter: "This one toilet room is bigger than my entire house..."

"Oh, is that so?"

In the kitchen preparing ingredients, Fang Mo poked his head out and said: "I'm sorry, I have eight bathrooms like this at my house."

"Why on earth do you need so many toilets!?"

Saitama almost spat out his tea.

"Quoting another Steve's famous words, because I can keep it up all day."

Fang Mo tossed some freshly materialized tuna and beef onto the kitchen counter, chuckling: "You'll never understand the sheer joy of sh*tting on someone else's head."

"... I really can't understand."

Saitama pursed his lips: "I'm now considering whether I should have dinner at your house."

"Don't worry, I just go, I don't eat." Fang Mo laughed and continued: "Actually, it's not my fault, I wasn't a Sorcerer before and had to make a living as a Teletubby actor. My character's name was Laa-Laa..."

"Of course, I switched roles later."

Before Saitama could speak, Fang Mo quickly added: "Because I was the tallest, the director had me play Tintin..."

"..."

Saitama didn't speak, just rubbed his eyebrows.

Seeing this, the Ancient One gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"By the way, Saitama."

Just then, as if Fang Mo suddenly remembered something, he dropped the joking demeanor and spoke a bit more seriously: "How about we spar a bit after dinner, see who's stronger?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Saitama touched his head subconsciously: "I don't mind... but is there a place nearby where we can go all out?"

Originally, Saitama had refused the idea of sparring because he knew his own strength, but after witnessing Fang Mo's abilities at the House of Evolution, he had become somewhat interested. He had always hoped someone could stand up to him in a fight.

It's a pity his enemies were too weak, breaking like paper.

"Oh, that's easy."

Hearing Saitama's concern, Fang Mo smiled and then pointed at the Ancient One: "Let her open a portal for us, and we can fight on Mars."

"If you can manage that..."

Saitama shrugged, indicating his agreement.

"Alright, then it's happily decided." Seeing that Saitama agreed, Fang Mo nodded in satisfaction.

After that, Fang Mo nearly finished gathering the ingredients and, with his hands greasy, headed towards the bathroom to wash his hands with some soap, since he wasn't very skilled at cooking and would leave it to Ah Xue instead.

"Dinner will still take a bit, how about we watch some TV..."

While talking to Saitama and the others, Fang Mo reached for the bathroom door handle, but in the next second, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[System Notification: xiaoyao requests to teleport to your side. /tpaccept to accept the teleportation. /tpdeny to refuse the teleportation, you can choose within 120 seconds.]

"..."

Hearing the system notification, Fang Mo was momentarily stunned, then subconsciously looked at Ah Xue busy in the kitchen.

And she, sensing his gaze, turned her head and smiled gently at him.

Fang Mo didn't speak.

Instead, he expertly entered the /tpdeny command.

After entering the command, Fang Mo quickly typed a message in the public chat to show his innocence.

[mofang: I'm taking a dump.]

However, this time, the other party didn't even bother to reply back to Fang Mo and just went silent.

"Phew..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he washed his hands as if nothing had happened and came out to chat with Saitama and the others, watching TV and playing poker, even trying to introduce them to mahjong from his hometown.

Genos wasn't sitting still.

Before long, he took the initiative to help out in the kitchen.

And the Armored Gorilla quickly stood up too, saying he was quite skilled at cooking and could lend a hand.

With three people cooking, the kitchen soon filled with the aroma of food. Doctor Genus was the first to cave, constantly swallowing saliva and even trying to get the Ground Dragon to steal a piece of braised ribs for him.

However, this peaceful atmosphere didn't last long.

About twenty minutes later.

Suddenly, the electronic doorbell rang. Fang Mo, who was about to lose the card game, immediately threw down his cards and stood up, saying: "I'm done playing, the doorbell rang."

"Hey, you can't just quit like that!"

Saitama immediately shouted: "We agreed that the loser has to eat a rock!"

"What rock, what kind of normal person eats rocks?" However, Fang Mo completely ignored him and jogged to the door, muttering: "This place is in the middle of nowhere, who could be knocking at this time... could it be that seaweed monster?"

While saying this.

Fang Mo casually opened the door.

However, standing outside was not some seaweed monster, but a grim-looking partner.

"!"

Fang Mo's brain went blank.

"Nice one." The partner smiled mischievously and looked up at Fang Mo: "Such a luxurious toilet, hmm... this smell is quite fragrant, did you just finish and put it in the pot to stew?"

"This, uh..."

Fang Mo scratched his head and after struggling to find an answer, asked in bafflement: "No, but how did you get out?"
