Chapter 271 Let’s Go to Cuixue Town
(Chapter 5 is finally released)
"Lilia?"
Lillie actually had such a big reaction.
"Hmm... um, I, I'm here." Lillie came back to her senses and quickly responded in a low voice, and then turned to ask: "I heard from Ma Li that you were teleported to the Xicui area... The Xicui area is 1000 Sinnoh years ago, right? Are you back now? You are not injured? Where are you now?"
Nagging, nagging, Lily's quiet and elegant temperament actually asked so many questions in one breath, which is enough to show how much impact this incident had on her...
Can it be smaller? Lillie abandoned her friends and left Alola, running around looking for Celebi.
"Well, I'm back and I'm currently in Binhai City. How about you?" Xu Qiansu took the teapot, poured herself some tea, and asked calmly.
Vulpix stood on the coffee table, wrapping his tail around the teacup to prevent it from spilling.
The crystal black tea surges into swirling ripples in the cup, reflecting the light from the chandelier on the top of the living room.
He picked up the teacup and handed it to Vulpix... Vulpix took a lick, then shook his head with a grimace, saying that this tasted really bad.
"Binhai City..." After the call, Lillie's tone was inexplicably lowered. Then she cheered up again, as if to cheer herself up and said, "I am... I have been to Yuanzhu City!"
Enzhu City, the capital of the Johto region, is a world-famous historical city. Its cultural customs, scenery and architecture are basically the same as those of the island nation of Kyoto in its previous life.
But this sentence has no cause and effect. I don’t know what Lillie wants to express.
Xu Qiansu chuckled lightly, put a piece of rock sugar into the tea cup, stirred it for a while, took a few sips to taste, and then put it in front of Vulpix.
"Are you going there to find Celebi?"
"Well... that's it..." Lillie whispered intermittently.
Vulpix stretched out her pink little tongue and licked along the edge of the teacup while drinking. This time she drank less than half.
"Really? Have you found Celebi?" Xu Qiansu picked up the tea cup and sipped the remaining black tea from Vulpix. She didn't ask questions all at once, but asked slowly.
"Well... I haven't found it completely..." Lillie was vague again and answered intermittently, looking extremely embarrassed.
Not quite found?
So is it found or not found?
Click.
Ma Li picked up the paper with her little hand and slowly turned the page of the book in her hand. Her cute and delicate face was calm and peaceful... The teacup in front of her was empty.
Xu Qiansu picked up the teapot and gave Ma Li another cup.
"Thank you." Ma Li nodded slightly.
Xu Qiansu put down the tea cup, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, "If I don't find it, I won't look for it... Where are you now? I'll take you back to Alola."
Ma Li just picked up a book page, then paused slightly and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu gave her a look that meant, 'Liliae moved to a foreign country because of him. There is no merit but hard work... It is appropriate to send her back. ’
Ma Li thought for a while, but did not refute, so she lowered her eyes and read quietly.
"Huh? Eh? Huh?" Lillie obviously didn't expect Xu Qiansu to say this. She was very nervous for a moment and hesitated for a while before slowly saying: "I am in Galar now, um... this should be Is it... Cuixue Town?"
"Cuixue Town?" Xu Qiansu couldn't help but was startled, reaching out to caress the little marsupial who was sleeping on the pillow, "Why did you go there?"
Lillie just said she had been to Yuanzhu City, and then she went to Cuixue Town in the blink of an eye? The distance between the two places is very long, and it takes almost half a day to fly... But if it is Lillie's private plane, it will definitely be faster.
"Well... I traveled around and ended up here..." Lillie faltered. Listening to the voice coming from the phone, it was obvious that she was walking on the street at the moment.
Ding dong ding ding dong~
Familiar music came from the phone...Pokémon Center.
Basically, the first thing every trainer does when he comes to town is to go to the Pokémon Center to have a physical check-up for his Pokémon...
"Welcome to the Pokémon Center... Huh? Lillie?" A soft and charming voice faintly came from behind the phone.
Um...Miss Dale.
Ma Li reached out and lifted some black hair scattered on her shoulders, then picked up the tea cup and sipped it slowly.
Xu Qiansu stopped talking and silently listened to the conversation between Lillie and Miss Dale behind the phone.
Del knew Lillie because she was the moderator of the iSu forum...but Lillie didn't know Del, so she was obviously shocked.
But in this world, you can suspect that anyone around you has ill intentions towards you, but no matter who it is, they will never suspect that Miss Joy will harm him.
Miss Joy is always beautiful, gentle, elegant, and intellectual... Although Miss Dale is very sinister, she naturally has the above qualities.
Therefore, Lillie was not too afraid and soon started chatting with Miss Dale.
We didn’t talk about much…it was basically ‘how do you know me? ’ ‘Why are you here? ’ ‘It turns out it’s because of Xu Qiansu~’ In the end, the topic always turns to Xu Qiansu.
"Eh? Are you talking on the phone?" Miss Dale's interested voice came faintly from behind the phone.
Xu Qiansu silently picked up her tea cup and sipped it, but found that the black tea in it had been drunk.
Ma Li picked up the teapot and glanced sideways at him.
"Thank you." Xu Qiansu silently placed the tea cup on the coffee table and stared at the slowly rising black tea.
As expected, Miss Dale's voice was much clearer on the phone... She had obviously taken over Lillie's phone.
"Xu Qiansu?" Miss Dale's voice was no different from usual, but she seemed quite calm.
"Well...how is Miss Dale's health? Cuixue Town must have recovered from that period. Have you felt more relaxed recently?"
Xu Qiansu put down the tea cup and made a crisp sound on the coffee table.
"I don't think about tea or food every day, I can't sleep at night, I have trouble sleeping and eating... What do you think of my health?" Miss Dale asked in return.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip. It was naturally impossible to hide his disappearance from Miss Dell... She just didn't know the specific details of Xu Qiansu's disappearance.
What was Miss Dale thinking about during the time when she couldn't contact Xu Qiansu? No one knows except her.
Xu Qiansu should have reported that he was safe as soon as he came back. If he didn't do this, it was naturally his fault.
"Well... I was wrong for not being able to call you in time." Xu Qiansu apologized decisively and peacefully.
"Moon mourning, month mourning, month mourning~"
After picking up the phone, Miss Dale put down the matter at hand and handed it over to the caretaker. She took Lillie into the corridor behind the Pokémon Center, obviously wanting to have a good chat with Xu Qiansu.
Click.
She seemed to have pushed open the door of her room, then sat down on the sofa. She did not accept Xu Qiansu's apology at all and asked directly: "What has happened recently? Tell me."
Snap.
There was a faint sound of a chair being moved. It was probably Lillie who was moving a chair and sitting next to the bed, obviously wanting to listen.
"Want something to eat? I have chocolate here."
"Oh, thank you."
Behind the phone, Miss Dell warmly entertained Lillie, without any sense of oppression as she had just when she pressed Xu Qiansu.
"Well...it's not a big deal." Xu Qiansu took another sip of black tea, moistened his throat, and briefly told the story about the Xicui area...
Snap.
After using the phone, Miss Dell seemed to have taken off her shoes and sat on the couch... As Miss Joy, she had been standing at the front desk for a long time, so naturally her feet were a little sore.
Is Miss Dale gently squeezing her little feet in white stockings at this moment? Probably not, after all Lillie is still here.
Xu Qiansu thought of it inexplicably, and then shook her head slightly to clear away the distracting thoughts in her mind, but then she couldn't help but think, I wonder if Cattleya has white silk... I don't know, I have never seen her wearing it.
Del and Lillie listened quietly, without saying a word the whole time. After Xu Qiansu finished speaking, Lillie couldn't help but ask: "It's really amazing to travel through a thousand years!"
Now that Xu Qiansu was back safely, Lillie naturally focused on traveling through time and space itself.
Xu Qiansu chuckled lightly, "I originally thought it was due to the pendant I accidentally found in the ruins, but then I met Cresselia. According to her, it was a complete accident."
"Pendant? Do you still have it on you? Aren't you going to throw it away?" After a moment of silence, Del didn't ask too much about the Xicui area, but asked doubtfully.
Who knows what kind of trouble it might cause if you keep something of unknown origin nearby. And whether it's Xu Qiansu or Ma Li, the pendant is still hanging on their mobile phones.
Xu Qiansu turned her head and glanced at Ma Li, then looked away and shook her head gently, "No need."
Ma Li glanced back at him. The reason why Xu Qiansu did not throw away such an item of unknown origin was purely because the pendant could ensure that Xu Qiansu and Ma Li could communicate in real time, even if they were thousands of years apart.
She withdrew her gaze, pulled the broken hair around her ears, and continued to read the book silently.
"It's up to you." Dale replied briefly.
After the words fell, there were no more words between the two.
After a moment of silence, Dale asked again: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Well... I hope Miss Dale can take care of her health. If possible, she can apply to go to a sparsely populated town in the future... This way the workload will be less." Xu Qiansu replied.
"Hmm~" Miss Dale made a deliberately long nasal sound, and then chuckled: "Then when you become the Champion of Galar, go and buy the Island of Kai and live there, and I will apply to be your Miss Joy. alright."
"Kai's Island? How expensive is that?"
"Tens of millions," Miss Dale said casually, "But the previous champion of the Galar region lives up there, so you have to defeat him first before you are qualified to buy it."
"At that time, I hope Miss Dale can lend me tens of millions and I will pay you back in installments."
"You should be more polite to me. I have accumulated all these savings over the years."
Snapped.
Miss Mali placed the tea cup on the coffee table with a crisp sound.
Xu Qiansu coughed lightly, smiled again, and said, "Let Lillie live in Cuixue Town for now. I will return to Galar in a few days, and then I will send her back to Alola."
"Yeah, yeah." Lillie kept nodding her little head aside... Although her private plane was still parked at the airport in Muzhan Town and she could leave at any time, she would not refuse at this moment.
Cuixue Town is not large enough to have an airport, so Lillie parked her private plane in Wooden Pole Town.
"Well..." Miss Dale's voice contained a hint of laughter. After pondering for a moment, she smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you here?"
"Huh?" Lillie tilted her face. Shouldn't she wait for Xu Qiansu?
"OK."
After saying this, he hung up the phone. If he had anything to say, it wouldn't be too late to say it in person.
Xu Qiansu clicked on the screen and dialed Little Master Caidou's number.
After a while, the phone was connected.
"Master Caidou? Are you busy?"
After a moment of silence behind the phone, Caidou's calm voice came out, "Where are you going? You are not coming to the opening ceremony of the Champions League? Although not coming will not affect anything, but why didn't you tell me? What happened? Is it troublesome? Or do you simply not want to compete?"
Nagging, nagging, even little master Caidou asked so many questions... After all, losing contact in this information society is a thing that cannot be ignored.
Xu Qiansu could only briefly talk about her recent experience again.
"Really? Then come back as soon as possible. The other gym leaders are very interested in you." With Caidou's cold temperament, he didn't ask too many questions and just said so.
Vulpix jumped on Xu Qiansu's lap and raised her little face to look at him.
Xu Qiansu reached out and scratched her chin gently, and asked.
"Huh? Because I am Master Caidou's disciple?"
"Half of the reason, the other half is because you are my disciple, so they had expectations for you and wanted to see you at the opening ceremony, but you didn't come...
"...At least Chibana has a strong opinion of you, thinking that you don't take the Champions League seriously at all, while Lulina saw your photos, thought you had the potential to be a model, and wanted you to try it. Audition..." Caidou should be at the training ground, and could faintly hear the sounds of strange strength training.
Qibana, the dragon gym leader, is known as a genius who can win the championship immediately as long as he goes to other areas... Although he is unrestrained and unrestrained, he actually attaches great importance to the Champions Cup. Xu Qiansu's performance is obviously disappointing. He thought Xu Qiansu was an ignorant and slutty young man.
Lurina is the leader of the Galar water gym. Regardless of her strength as a trainer, she is quite famous in Galar as a model. However, people's energy is always limited, and not everyone is Zhulan and Kaluna. That way you can wear many hats.
Therefore, Lurina's strength is not too strong among the gym leaders in Galar, but she still has the dream of becoming a champion, but she also has great enthusiasm for the job of model, and the result is two jobs There are many difficulties at work.
She was already trying her best to overcome it and wanted to do both jobs well... so she wanted to invite Xu Qiansu to help her with her modeling work.
"But I will help you reject Lu Lina... You should practice martial arts calmly, and you need a lot of time to practice consistently. If you become a model, where will you have time to practice martial arts?" Caidou said in an unquestionable tone, completely unconvinced. Give Xu Qiansu a chance to refute.
Xu Qiansu naturally wouldn't care about this. Not to mention little Master Caidou, even Cattleya would not agree to Xu Qiansu appearing in a photo with another woman.
He briefly chatted with Master Caidou for a while, and finally hung up the phone after agreeing to return to Galar to challenge the gym in a week at the latest.
