I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 166 Little Jackie Chan: So young... and I'm already an uncle?!

"...Ahem, speaking of which, why are you dressed like this?"

Riley patiently and gently comforted Xiaoyu, patting her back from time to time, allowing her to gradually calm down in his reassuring embrace.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Xiaoyu immediately raised her face, looked herself up and down, and changed the subject rather awkwardly in a tone that was neither entirely justified nor entirely self-righteous.

"Ah, it's not that it doesn't suit you, you look good in anything... It's just that if you were dressed like usual, I would have recognized you long ago, and I wouldn't have had to come all this way!"

"Haha, well, there's no way around it, it's called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do.' If I wore my old clothes, I'd probably be seen as a weirdo... But if you don't like it, I can change them."

Of course, Riley, who dotes on her child, wouldn't be so tactless as to expose the little girl's last bit of stubbornness at this critical juncture.

Instead, while giving a serious explanation, he looked around, using the occasional passerby as a reference.

After observing a certain number of people and gaining a general understanding of the clothing style of the 1970s, Riley's hip-hop outfit transformed into casual wear with a distinctly 1970s style through a series of twists and turns. Even his overly eye-catching afro reverted to a simple center-parted short hairstyle.

Riley then released Xiaoyu from his arms, opened his arms and spun around in front of her, chuckling and teasing her.

"How's this outfit, little princess? Are you satisfied?"

Clearly, Riley, eager to ascertain Xiaoyu's safety, didn't have the time to search for a suitable hip-hop outfit. Instead, after a quick look, he simply had the symbiote conjure one up. Even the afro was a wig created by the symbiote! Essentially, Riley was now dressed in his battle suit.

"Hmph! So-so, but passable?"

That's why, looking at the symbiotic suit whose appearance could change at will, Xiaoyu was still stubbornly commenting, but the envy that was almost overflowing in her big, blinking eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

But soon, the desire to go home overwhelmed all other thoughts. As Xiaoyu pressed Riley for answers with a slightly hurried tone, she was also afraid that she might accidentally create another time tunnel, so she quickly handed the rabbit talisman to Riley.

"So, how do we get back now? Oh, right, here's the rabbit talisman, here you go."

"Keep this for now, consider it a precaution for your own safety. When we get back, remember to give it to Sheriff Black and sincerely apologize to him. After all, what you did really scared Sheriff Black; he thought the Black Hand had infiltrated Section 13 and was going to drastically alter its defenses again."

"Of course, don't worry, someone will soon personally deliver our 'tickets' home to us. I happen to have some things to take care of... so before they arrive, I'll take you to meet a few people."

"How many people are you meeting? Who are they? Do I know them?"

"Of course you know him, and you're quite familiar with him... Come with me, and you'll find out soon enough."

And so, as Riley and Jade talked, Riley, in order to prevent Jade from suddenly disappearing again, habitually took the little one's hand and slowly left the place.

Before long, the two returned to the school Xiaoyu had left, just as the school bell rang. And, coincidentally, they overheard conversations coming from the other side of the school wall.

"impossible!"

"possible!"

"Oh, come on! Nobody can get over this wall; it's too high for us!"

"Hmph, who said that? I can do it! Just you wait and see!"

The next second, the young Jackie Chan showed his potential as a "superman".

There was no long run-up; they just jumped onto the sink, then took off again, followed by a wall jump.

With a series of fluid movements, and with such ease, the elementary school student, with his physical abilities, jumped directly onto the two- or three-meter-high wall!

"See! It's not that hard... Ooh ooh ooh ooh—!!!"

The only downside was that Jackie Chan underestimated just how difficult it would be to stand firmly on the cylindrical decoration at the top of the wall.

He had just stood on it and hadn't even had a chance to show it off to his friends behind him when he slipped and fell headfirst to the ground!

"Oh, it seems we've arrived just in time."

Fortunately, Riley had anticipated this, which is why he took Jade back to the vicinity of the school first.

So, as Jackie Chan closed his eyes, despairingly awaiting the baptism of pain, Riley simply reached out his hands and caught him steadily.

Then, as little Jackie Chan opened his eyes in surprise and curiosity, wondering what had happened, she bent down and gently placed him on the ground to steady him. With a smile in her eyes, she greeted him.

"Hello, Uncle Long, it's nice to meet you."

"Ha! Uncle Long always goes on and on about how well-behaved he was in school, and how martial arts weren't something to show off to classmates... But now it seems he was just lying!"

Meanwhile, before the bewildered Jackie Chan could recover, Jade, as if she had discovered a new continent, began to circle around him with a smug smile.

She then returned to Riley's side, adopting a fawning smile, and began to gently shake Riley's arm in a coquettish manner.

"Riley! Did you record that scene with your suit? Please, please tell me you definitely recorded it!"

"Ahem, in principle, Uncle Long definitely wouldn't want me to film such a embarrassing moment that would damage his uncle's dignity. So..."

As for Jade's coquettishness, as long as it doesn't violate Riley's principles, Riley has never been able to do anything about it.

So much so that Riley had just righteously defended Uncle Long, and then bent down and whispered in Jade's ear.

"After I get back, I will anonymously send you a version of this disclaimer to your email address, which includes a clause stating that you must delete it within 48 hours and that it must not be used for commercial purposes without authorization."

"Hehehe, yay! I knew Riley was the best!"

Having received Riley's promise, and imagining the expression on Uncle Long's face when he returned to modern society and saw this embarrassing video of his past, a satisfied and expectant smile appeared on Jade's face.

Amidst the cheers, he couldn't help but hug Riley's neck and give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Wow, wait...wait a minute, did you just call me 'uncle'? But you look much older than me! Do we even know each other? And what are you doing! This is indecent!"

Only now, after a moment of utter bewilderment, did Jackie Chan gradually recover from the shock he had just experienced.

Even though the girl in front of him looked about the same age as him, for some reason, seeing the intimate interaction between Xiaoyu and Riley, Xiao Chenglong felt inexplicably uncomfortable. So, while asking a question, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, pull Xiaoyu away from Riley's arms, and protect her behind him.

Clearly, Uncle Long, who had just arrived in the United States from China to study in the 1970s, was influenced by the prevailing social trends of the time. He still couldn't accept the kiss on the cheek, which would later become increasingly commonplace.

Therefore, he couldn't understand why the two strangers, one big and one small, would call him "uncle."

But the sense of closeness stemming from blood ties still made Jackie Chan instinctively want to protect Jade, to prevent her from being tricked and abducted by Riley.

Well, of course, what young Jackie Chan clearly doesn't know at this moment is...

It's not like I'm trying to steal someone else's cabbage, it's just that I'm not someone else'

Instead, his cabbage grew legs, and Tiangang tried to trick someone else's pig into coming back to his own home!
