UGB Chapter 421 Pallet Town, the Pure White Town
Chapter 421 Pallet Town, the Pure White Town
"Unusually sunny weather in many places? Tell me about it."
Li Luochen slammed Huo Yan against the wall, bracing his arm against her ear and pressing his entire body against her. This wall-pinning position blocked out most of the light in the corridor, and his eyes were much more serious than before.
sunny.
And it was sunny everywhere!
The image of Groudon immediately popped into Li Luochen's mind.
That legendary Pokémon that sleeps deep in the earth and awakens to ignite the blazing sun!
If it really is that, things are in trouble!
"Hmm..."
Huo Yan blushed bright red after being pinned against the wall by Li Luochen.
She lowered her head, her hands intertwined, her fingertips twisting nervously as if trying to braid them into a rope.
Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she was sure Li Luochen had heard it.
Hate......
My owner is so naughty!
That being said, it's been a long time since the master has been this close to her.
The last time she was this close was 78 hours, 51 minutes, and 43 seconds ago—she mentally calculated exactly how many digits were left after the decimal point, but she was too embarrassed to continue calculating.
But we need to talk about serious matters now, so let's put matters of love and sex aside for the time being.
"It's roughly in the Central Plains region."
Huo Yan steadied herself, her voice returning to its usual cool tone, though the faint blush on her face hadn't completely faded. "Recently, there's been a huge energy fluctuation in a secret realm, and the weather in the surrounding cities has turned into scorching sunshine with that realm as the center."
Li Luochen frowned.
The energy radiates outwards from the secret realm as its center—this doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon, but rather like something deliberately releasing energy.
"Okay, I'll remember that. Could you go and talk to Secretary Liu for me and ask him to negotiate with the alliance branch manager over there?"
Li Luochen released his hand from the wall and took a step back.
If it really is Groudon, he'll have to find an opportunity to capture it.
If that Lord of the Earth, who has been asleep for countless years, were to awaken and discover that someone was plotting against it, the entire Central Plains region would likely tremble with fear.
Therefore, as one of the few beings in the Donghuang region with legendary combat power, he felt he could try to win it.
Huo Yan nodded slightly, her hair slipping down from behind her ears, revealing a small section of her reddish earlobe.
"Alright, you deserve credit for this. Do you want any reward?" Li Luochen smiled and pinched Huo Yan's nose, gently rubbing her nose tip with his fingertip.
"Then... I want my master... hehe..."
Huo Yan's voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke. She closed her eyes before she finished speaking, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She tilted her head slightly, her lips pouting gently, with a hint of anticipation and a touch of shyness.
Li Luochen understood what was going on when he saw her like this.
He lowered his head and kissed her.
......
......
The corridor was quiet, with only the soft rustling of fabric and the occasional soft moan.
It seems to be raining outside the window; there's a pattering sound, and the sound of raindrops falling into the river.
Half an hour passed.
Huoyan straightened Li Luochen's clothes.
She tiptoed, straightened his crumpled collar, and smoothed his shoulders: "Master, Huoyan will take her leave now..."
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered twice, and turned to leave with cheerful steps.
I felt lightheaded, as if I were walking on cotton, and every step felt unreal.
Then, his steps became unsteady, and he twisted.
Li Luochen: ......
This girl's physical fitness is still not that great.
He leaned against the wall, watching the slender figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, shook his head helplessly, but couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Then, subconsciously, he raised his hand and squeezed it in the air.
The feel of this is definitely better than the other girls in the dojo...
"Luo Chen~ How did it taste just now?"
Azure leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, smiling at him.
"It's alright," Li Luochen smacked his lips and replied casually.
Then, he suddenly turned around—
Good heavens, Azure actually came out of the room!
He glanced instinctively at the corner of the corridor, but Huoyan had already vanished.
He glanced again at Bilan's ambiguous smile, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"When did you come out?"
"Not long," Azure tilted her head, "just enough time to see the whole thing."
Li Luochen remained silent.
Bilan looked Li Luochen up and down, her gaze slowly sliding from his face to his toes before leisurely returning to him.
"You have so much energy! It seems like you never get tired, no matter what you do."
"It's alright," Li Luochen said calmly. "If I worked 23 hours a day, I'd probably get tired."
Azure rolled her eyes at him.
There are only 24 hours in a day. If you work 23 hours, you're this (thumbs up).
.......
.......
Three days later, in Pallet Town, Kanto Region.
"Palenew Town! Here I come!"
Bilan, holding Li Luochen's hand, skipped and hopped into the quiet rural town.
The stone path was lined with unidentified wildflowers, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and earth. Several bobcats were cooing on the rooftops, completely ignoring the two guests who had come from afar.
"Hey~ Azure's back~"
The young woman, who had just finished shopping for groceries, was walking out of the roadside grocery store with a basket full of ingredients in her hands. Hearing Bilan's voice, she looked up, smiled, and waved.
She wore a plain apron, her hair casually tied back, and when she smiled, fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. She was gentle and kind, making people feel friendly at first glance.
This is Ash's mother, Hanako.
"Aunt Hanako, long time no see!" Bilan let go of Li Luochen's hand, ran over in two steps, and gave Hanako a hug.
"Long time no see~"
Hanako patted her back, her gaze passing over the blue-haired girl's shoulder and landing on Li Luochen behind her: "And who is this next to you?"
Bilan turned around, took Li Luochen's arm again, and looked up at him with a smile.
"Hello, Aunt Hanako," Li Luochen nodded slightly, his tone polite and natural. "I am Li Luochen, Bilan's husband."
Aunt Hanako paused for a moment, then laughed even harder.
She looked Li Luochen up and down, her gaze carrying the unique blend of scrutiny and affection of an elder, before finally nodding.
"Good, good, good. Azure has good taste." She lifted the shopping basket in her hand. "Come over for dinner tonight? Xiao Zhi was just saying he wanted to see you a few days ago."
Bi Lan's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree when Li Luochen spoke first: "Then I'll have to bother you."
"No problem, no problem!" Hanako waved her hand with a smile. "I'll go back and get ready. You guys take your time."
She turned and took two steps, then looked back once more, her gaze lingering for a moment on their intertwined arms, her smile deepening.
After Bilan and Huazi had walked a distance, Bilan leaned close to Li Luochen's ear and whispered, "Why did you say 'husband' so smoothly just now?"
Li Luochen glanced at her: "Isn't that right?"
Azure blushed, gave him a light punch, and turned her head away, pretending to look at the Bobo pecking at its food by the roadside.
But the hand holding his arm tightened even more.
