I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

"People should always live for themselves. I don't have the sentiment of living for others, and besides, it would be too tiring."

Hao Longtao shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

“You don’t owe the professor anything, because you once saved him from Apocalypse. You don’t owe Cyclops anything, because this wasn’t something you did on your own initiative, it wasn’t from your own heart.”

The mention of these two characters brought a pall over Jean Grey.

"really?"

Phoenix Jean Grey was thrown into a panic.

"real."

Hao Longtao stood up.

He reached out his hand to Jean Grey, the Phoenix, once again.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, looked bewildered, but a glimmer of hope stirred within her despairing heart once more.

It was as if she were imprisoned in an endless void, with only the phoenix keeping her company.

But what the phoenix wanted most was to devour her.

Replace her.

She didn't know what to do.

They can only curl up to one side.

She didn't even know who she was or what she was supposed to do.

I simply felt despair.

This period of time is very long.

It was so long that even Jean Grey, the Phoenix, forgot everything.

But when a young man walked up to her and reached out his hand, he brought a ray of light to her despair and darkness.

She knew she had wronged Professor X, Charles.

But deep down, she actually felt disgusted by everything Professor X had done.

Her usual demeanor is not her true nature.

Her true nature is more like that of a phoenix, unrestrained and soaring through the void of the universe.

When Hao Longtao reached out his hand to her again, Phoenix Girl Jean Grey instinctively grabbed the man's hand.

"Come on, let's take a walk together."

Hao Longtao smiled.

Phoenix Girl Jean Grey was unaware of Hao Longtao's intentions.

However, possessing extremely strong telepathy, she did not sense any ill intent from the Ice Demon.

She had heard of the Ice Demon's deeds.

She even talked to other X-Men back then.

If the professor hadn't suppressed the X-Men, their boiling hearts would have already led them to attack the Ice Demon.

But it's clear that Jean Grey, the Phoenix, actually harbors a certain degree of admiration for Hao Longtao's actions deep down.

She actually envied the Ice Demon's wickedness.

No, it's not malignant.

Rather, it is the Ice Demon's courage to defy the world.

This courage is precisely what Jean Grey, the Phoenix, lacks.

"..."

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Hao Longtao carried Phoenix Girl Qin Grey as they strolled through the air.

Their powerful mental abilities allow them to fly.

But as soon as they arrived at the seaside, an ice ship emerged from the sea, and to her astonishment, they boarded the ship.

"Is this what your abilities have created? I can feel that this ice is harder than steel. But how do you control the power of ice and the power of fire at the same time?"

This is practically a fusion of ice and fire.

Both are Level 4 mutants, and Iceman was even once considered a Level 5 mutant because of his ability to create ice out of thin air.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, also believes this.

"When power is completely integrated into your body, into your soul, into your will, the so-called incompatibility of ice and fire is just a summary of experience. But when you truly master or even dominate all the power within you, it will be as easy as drinking water for you."

With a wave of his hand, Hao Longtao created a giant wave that began to propel the ice boat forward.

three hours.

They ended up in a country in Africa.

Hao Longtao didn't even give Phoenix Girl Jean Grey a chance to speak, and led her further into the African continent.

Poverty, killing, hunger, and other harsh realities confronted Jean Grey, the Phoenix, with a world that deeply troubled her.

At that moment, he understood Hao Longtao's intention.

Compared to that, what does her so-called tragic fate amount to?

At least she never went hungry.

At least, she once had a group of friends and enjoyed a warm and loving life.

She was once happy.

But when she saw the poorest and most chaotic side of the world.

Her so-called tragic fate meant nothing in the face of this group of people.

Her fate was determined by power.

This was also due to some of her own reasons.

"In fact, with such great power, you are completely in control of your own life. You don't need to acknowledge anyone's dependence, and you don't need to become anyone's 'her.' Because you are unique, you can even use your power to help many people in this world who need help. You can become their god, or you can become a demon in the eyes of many."

Hao Longtao had a smile on his face.

They stand tall in the most dangerous country in Africa.

The warlords are massacring backward tribes.

But next second.

The scorching earth was frozen solid by frost.

The tribe was rescued.

The brutal warlords, even until their deaths, never knew who they had offended.

Countless people lay prostrate on the ground.

He knelt down and bowed to Hao Longtao.

In their fervent and excited eyes, they completely regarded Hao Longtao as a god.

"Why care about what others think? If you care about what others think, and you don't like being called a devil, then why can't you be a god to another group of people?"

Hao Longtao looked at Phoenix Girl Qin Grey.

He tried to persuade Jean Grey, the Phoenix, using his own methods.

He sensed that Jean Grey, the Phoenix, was beginning to waver.

Even some of the things she held dear in her heart were beginning to waver.

“I am the devil in the eyes of God’s believers, but from now on, I will become the totem of this tribe, their god.”

Hao Longtao pointed at the group of tribesmen and said.

“Your heart is bound by certain people, but you must understand, Qin, we are different from them. We possess the power to become gods. When you are with them, the things they do are not actually considered from your perspective.”

"What is God in my view?"

"Only those who truly control their own lives can be called gods."

"Gods are supposed to be the masters of their own destiny."

"So, Qin, you should open your eyes and look at the world with your heart, and not let your emotions hold you back."

"Only by objectively viewing the nature of this world can you better control your power, understand the mission of wielding this power, and even make this power your pride."

“Start afresh, leave the past behind, embrace your new life, and you will find that your life should be so vibrant and colorful.”

Hao Longtao's face was radiant with holy light.

At that moment, he felt happy.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ········

The power that reaches his level.

In fact, many things in life have already lost their appeal to him.

Or rather, he stood too high.

The problems I see are different from those of many people in the world.

Therefore, in the name of the devil, bewitching the harp brought him an indescribable feeling.

As Xun Ge'er once said: Men have two great hobbies: dragging virtuous women into prostitution and persuading prostitutes to reform themselves.

But what Hao Longtao is doing is the same thing.

He persuaded Jean Grey, the Phoenix, to abandon the past and embrace a new life.

Isn't this just dragging respectable women into this mess?

"Perhaps I should listen to you."

"Phoenix Lady Jean Grey said softly."

“You shouldn’t listen to me, but follow your heart. Your biggest problem is that you’re resisting yourself, resisting your own inner self.”

Hao Longtao said calmly.

What will Jean Grey, the Phoenix, be like in the future?

Hao Longtao could never have predicted this.

"Ice Demon, you are so eloquent that I once thought you really were a demon. Demons are good at bewitching people, and you have bewitched mine, but I know you are right."

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, finally showed a slight smile.

"So, how many women have you used this same line on?"

Clear away the gloom in your heart.

It's as if the power of the soul has been reborn.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, has become even more powerful.

Her inner strength told her that the person in front of her was right, but Hao Longtao must have a purpose.

"By the way, Raven is now the vice president of my company group, and she's very happy with her job."

Hao Longtao smiled slightly.

“Raven?! Didn’t she always believe that Eric was the savior of mutants? Why is she following you?”

..... ..... 0

"Eric is too extreme, too selfish. I, on the other hand, gave her unlimited trust, so she believed in me. Of course, she didn't follow me; we just shared the same goals and were cooperating to see if we could create a world that belonged to us!"

Hao Longtao did not regard Ruiwen as a subordinate, or even as his appendage.

He truly cared for Raven.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, sensed certain emotions.

"You have many stories to tell, not just Raven's."
