As Yi Shuihan walked towards Louise, Louise was frowning as she looked at the notebook in her hand, as if something was troubling her.

"Is there a problem?"

"Louise, Louise Lane?"

"Yes, it's me."

Chapter 655, Superman's Friend

The woman who caught Superman's eye was indeed very beautiful; at least Yi Shuihan couldn't find any major flaws in her.

Louise was wary of Yi Shuihan's visit, but since this was the Daily Planet and there were so many people here, she still felt somewhat safe.

"I want to talk to you about aliens! You published an article about them before, didn't you?"

Louise's pupils contracted slightly, then she shook her head and said, "I don't want to bring this up again."

She got up and left her seat, seemingly to go to the restroom, but her main intention was to discourage Yi Shuihan from making a move.

"Clark Kent".

The name made Louise stop in her tracks, staring at Yi Shuihan in surprise.

"What do you know?"

"Trust me, I know more than you do."

"If that's the case, why did you come to me?"

Because of Zod, Lois is now in a dangerous situation. She wants to keep Clark's secret, but government agents will find her, wanting to know who the aliens on Earth are, or to lure Superman out by capturing Lois.

The reason I came to find Lois first was because seeing Superman through Lois and seeing Superman myself have two different effects, especially after I saved Lois.

With this connection, getting some blood from Superman shouldn't be a big deal.

Although Yi Shuihan was confident that he could obtain Superman's blood regardless of whether Superman agreed or not, he generally did not want to be a direct enemy of Superman.

Superman is indeed very strong, especially since he has an infinite amount of energy as long as there is the sun. However, his magic resistance is too low, which is such an obvious weakness that Yi Shuihan can easily deal with him.

There are many forces of justice on Earth, such as Wonder Woman. After she was unsealed, her strength surpassed that of Superman, and she did not have the weakness of low magic resistance.

If he were defined as an evil person, Yi Shuihan would also find it very troublesome.

"Take me to see Clark, and I'll take care of your safety in the meantime."

She still shook her head and refused, clearly because Louise had some misunderstanding about Yi Shuihan and didn't believe him.

"You will say yes, and soon."

Indeed, it happened very quickly, because Yi Shuihan could already sense that the army had arrived.

Louise's phone suddenly rang. After answering it, she only had a few words before her face turned anxious. She hurriedly packed her belongings, looking like she was about to flee.

"Hey, do you still stand by what you said?"

"Of course!"

"Then protect me first, I want to leave here."

"no problem."

To Louise's surprise, Yi Shuihan grabbed her shoulder, and then the scenery in front of them changed; they were no longer at the Planet Daily.

"My driving skills are pretty good, as you can tell from the fact that you didn't feel any discomfort at all."

Apparition, even with Louise in tow, allowed them to travel effortlessly from Metropolis to Kent Farm in an instant.

"here it is……"

Louise noticed the familiar scene and was completely bewildered. One moment she was sure she was still at the Daily Planet, but the next she found herself at Kent Farm, a distance that would take several hours by car.

"Compared to aliens, the appearance of magic isn't so unacceptable, is it?"

"Magic? You're a magician? So those legends are true."

As a journalist, Louise's curiosity far exceeded that of ordinary people. Countless questions arose in her mind, and she couldn't wait to get the answers from Yi Shuihan.

Seeing this trend, Yi Shuihan was not worried, because a man was rushing over at an extremely fast speed, and his arrival would make Louise temporarily forget about magic.

"Louise!"

Clark, dressed in farm attire, looked every bit the country bumpkin.

"Hi, Clark!"

Louise greeted him with a smile and couldn't help but throw herself into Clark's arms. To her, Clark was clearly much safer than Yi Shuihan.

"he is……"

"Yi Shuihan! Just call me Yi."

"Yi, you just helped me escape the pursuit. The government wants to catch me, and they want to find you."

Louise's explanation softened Clark's gaze towards Yi Shuihan considerably.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm on your side. If you need any help, just ask. Although I'm very strong, protecting a few people shouldn't be a problem."

The comparison of strength that Yi Shuihan mentioned was naturally within the entire DC universe. As far as Earth is concerned, he is still among the top powerhouses.

Although Clark didn't know why Yi Shuihan would help him, his intuition made him believe in Yi Shuihan.

After that, the atmosphere became very friendly. Louise asked Clark about his thoughts and finally convinced him to surrender to the military. He wanted to see Zod and find out what his purpose was.

Louise wanted to go with them, and Clark initially refused, but eventually agreed to let her go, and also asked Yi Shuihan to protect Louise's safety during this time.

The reason he could entrust Louise's safety to Yi Shuihan was thanks to the fact that Yi Shuihan and Clark had fought, and Clark was ultimately unable to defeat Yi Shuihan. In addition, he had heard about Yi Shuihan's teleportation magic from Louise, which made him feel at ease.

US military base

Clark led Louise from Tian'erjian, while Yi Shuihan stood quietly beside Clark, looking completely like a passerby.

Advanced radar allowed the base personnel to locate Clark and his group immediately, and soon the person in charge arrived in front of Clark.

Superman, dressed in his Superman suit, with his handsome appearance and powerful confidence, exuded such a strong presence that he put considerable pressure on the military.

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to fight. We’re not enemies. I’m just here to make my stance clear. I can go see Zod. If you need me, I can surrender.”

"Who is he?"

The black officer pointed at Yi Shuihan, but as for Louise, they seemed to already know her identity, so they didn't ask.

“A friend, during this time, I need his help to protect Louise.”

"Just as he said, my mission is only to protect Louise. You can ignore me. If necessary, I can become invisible."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he demonstrated what invisibility was, which immediately startled the others.

Chapter 656, I Have Special Breathing Techniques

You'd better not go invisible!

The black general said with a strange expression, no longer curious about how Yi Shuihan could become Superman's friend; he was clearly no ordinary person.

As the most powerful force on Earth, they are aware of some of Earth's secrets and it's not surprising that they understand some amazing things; they are quite receptive to new ideas.

After entering the base, there was a series of conversations between Superman and the base, which could also be described as an exchange between Superman and human forces.

Clearly, Superman's attitude reassured everyone, and given that he had temporarily weakened his immense power without leaving a trace, the military could only adopt a friendly attitude towards him for the time being.

General Zod's spaceship was not far from Earth. Superman's open appearance could not escape his notice. Soon, the spaceship that came to pick up Superman arrived outside the base.

Unlike Clark, who had lived on Earth for 33 years and was practically a local, these Kryptonian warriors were not yet adapted to Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, when they came out, they wore full protective suits, and their heads were completely covered by a transparent dome.

Greeting Clark was General Zod's top admiral, Fiona, a female Kryptonian warrior who had abandoned morality and emotion and pushed her skills to the limit.

In the original story, this girl used her fighting skills to thoroughly defeat Superman.

“Karl El, this is Fiora from the Smart Port of Naval Vessels. General Zod asked me to give his regards.”

Clark and Fiora exchanged a glance and nodded. Then Fiora walked up to the general and spoke.

"Are you the highest-ranking officer here?"

"Yes, I am."

"General Zod told me to tell you that the woman, and the man next to her, are also coming with us."

Fiora pointed at Louise and Yi Shuihan.

"They even included me!"

Slightly surprised, Yi Shuihan could understand. After all, in the original story, Superman appeared at the base for Lois's sake. This time, although he appeared on his own initiative, he brought Lois and Yi Shuihan with him. Anyone with a brain would know that their relationship was not as simple as it seemed. It was understandable that Zod wanted Yi Shuihan and Lois to be together.

“You only wanted that alien; you didn’t say you also wanted our people.”

The general remained silent, but his deputy spoke up, somewhat angrily.

"Should I report to General Zod that you are not cooperating?"

Fiora's face was indifferent.

"I don't care what you want to say to him."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense, with a sense that war was about to break out.

"It's okay. I'll go."

Louise didn't want Clark to take any risks, so she readily agreed. Since the parties involved had agreed, it gave both sides a way out. The military didn't want to fall out immediately, so they tacitly accepted it.

As for Yi Shuihan, the military did not treat him as an ordinary person and did not consider his feelings at all.

The three boarded the alien spaceship and then soared into the sky.

Inside the spaceship, seemingly because of Yi Shuihan's presence, Clark did not hand the key to Louise.

"The air on our ships is not suitable for humans, and you will need to wear respirators for the time being."

Fiora first put a respirator on Louise, then it was Yi Shuihan's turn.

“I don’t need that, I have special breathing techniques.”

Yi Shuihan raised his hand to stop Fiora. As a celestial being, he could go without breathing; he wouldn't wear one of those silly-looking respirators.

This respirator reminded Yi Shuihan of the bubbles of the Celestial Dragons.

Fiora did not force Yi Shuihan. She didn't really care whether Yi Shuihan lived or died. Since Yi Shuihan was courting death, she wouldn't stop him.

"Are you sure you don't need it? I think it's better to wear it."

Louise tried to persuade Yi Shuihan from the side.

"The power of a magician far exceeds your imagination, and you don't actually need to wear it."

"..."

Louise's gaze towards Yi Shuihan conveyed a message: why didn't you say so earlier? Actually, Louise wouldn't have wanted to wear a respirator if she could avoid it.

“Karl, you have no idea how long we’ve been looking for you.”

"You are Zod."

"General Zod is our commander."

“It’s alright, Fiora. Please forgive Karl’s rudeness. He’s not familiar with our etiquette yet. We should celebrate, not argue.”

Zod was in a great mood because finding Clark meant finding the Codex. If he could transform Earth into another Krypton, he could use the Codex to restore Krypton's former glory. This was like his dream coming true.

"I...feel something's wrong."

Clark collapsed to the ground, appearing to be in great pain.

"What's wrong with him? Clark, please help him, please help him."

"His body is rejecting the air on the ship. He has spent his whole life adapting to Earth's environment but has never gotten used to ours."

Zod explained slowly, not in a hurry. In fact, he had expected this long ago, and he knew that it wouldn't kill Clark, but it would weaken him. Weak enough to be manipulated by others, which suited Zod perfectly.

Just as Clark was about to completely lose consciousness, Yi Shuihan finally made a move.

"The air is fresh!"

A white light entered Superman's body, instantly reducing his pain, and he easily stood up.

This situation was clearly unexpected by General Zod and the other Kryptonians, who all glared angrily at Yi Shuihan, and a dangerous aura was spreading.

Yi Shuihan's magic did not change the composition of the air in the spaceship; it only accelerated Superman's adaptation. Although he appears to be fine now, his strength has actually decreased by more than a hundred times compared to when he was on Earth. A single handcuff might be enough to prevent him from breaking free.

Having experienced countless battles, Zod keenly noticed this, stopped the others from acting, gave Yi Shuihan a deep look, and then spoke again.
