The figure under the heavy rain was trembling slightly.
Obviously, this is not someone with evil intentions. At least with this kind of physique, he should not have awakened yet.
Zhou Xiaofei suddenly remembered himself shivering while hiding outside the gate of the Elf Center.
But when he approached with a bit of adult-like sadness, he realized that the truth was obviously different from what he thought.
The figure hiding outside the gate is very petite, obviously a little girl.
The clothes he was wearing were not the sloppy clothes that Zhou Xiaofei was wearing at that time, and were stained by wandering.
Although the exquisite pleated skirt was soaked by the rain and felt a little sagging, Zhou Xiaofei had never seen any wandering little girl wearing such exquisite clothes.
The heavy rain took away the little girl's body temperature, causing her lips to turn slightly purple and her body to tremble constantly.
Zhou Xiaofei slapped his forehead, quickly walked over with an umbrella, and pulled the girl under the eaves.
"Oh, kid, what are you doing? It's raining so hard outside!"
At this moment, Zhou Xiaofei felt like an adult!
Who knew that the little girl curled her lips and looked like she was about to cry.
"I was under the eaves, right at the door! But when you suddenly came out, I...I was shocked!"
There was a hint of stubbornness and grievance on the little girl's childish and delicate face: "And...and I'm not a child! You're not much older than me!"
Zhou Xiaofei looked at the water stains on the little girl's body. Although she had been wet a lot, it was obviously not to the point where she was completely soaked.
The little girl's words made Zhou Xiaofei blush and touch his nose.
Yes, it seems that he is not that big...
"Well... the Elf Center is closed. If you want to buy elves, come back tomorrow."
"Remember to call your dad or mom, elves are not cheap!"
Zhou Xiaofei magnanimously ignored the younger girl's "rude remarks" and held his head in worry.
It's raining so hard, do you have to send her back by yourself?
That would take up Magikarp's training time!
It’s really a bit difficult to handle...
But what Zhou Xiaofei didn't expect was that his unintentional words immediately made the little girl curl her lips and tears well up in her eyes.
"I...my father is gone! I came to see my father's steel-armored crow!"
The little girl wiped away her tears and said, "Mom was very sad and didn't want to face the steel-armored crow, but I thought the elf was a good partner of my father! So I ran out secretly!"
"Mom will take me to my father's grave tomorrow to take a look..."
As he spoke, the little girl's tears suddenly couldn't stop like a faucet.
Suddenly, the little girl raised her fists, shed tears, and cheered for herself: "Liu Qiaoqiao doesn't cry, Liu Qiaoqiao is strong! Dad sacrificed for mankind!"
"Ah! That steel-armored crow belongs to your father!"
Zhou Xiaofei immediately thought of the steel-armored crow, who seemed particularly mighty and domineering among the elves who were sent there.
And it is obvious that among all the elves who have been detained, the one who cannot let go the most and has the deepest sadness is the Steel Armored Crow!
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaofei couldn't help but said: "Is your name Liu Qiaoqiao? My name is Zhou Xiaofei!"
"Your father and the Steel-Armored Crow are both great! And you are right, elves are good partners of humans, right! Magikarp!"
Zhou Xiaofei looked at his Carp King, agreed with the little girl in front of him, and proudly showed his weakest elf to the little girl...
Liu Qiaoqiao curiously circled around Magikarp and poked Magikarp with his finger, causing Magikarp to jump uncomfortably.
"This elf doesn't seem that powerful? But dad said that you can't tell whether an elf is powerful or not by looking at its appearance!"
She murmured: "I heard that the two lovely Meloetta and Dianxi owned by Boss Su at the Elf Center are very powerful elves!"
"Brother Zhou Xiaofei, your Carp King must be very powerful too!"
Zhou Xiaofei looked at Liu Qiaoqiao who was looking at him with admiration. After all, he was still a child. He immediately put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Of course!"
"My Magikarp has the collision skill! And he's also climbing waterfalls!"
"Climb the waterfall? So awesome!"
Liu Qiaoqiao's mood suddenly improved after Zhou Xiaofei said it, and she looked at Carp King with admiration.
Is this big red fish so powerful?
It's rare for Zhou Xiaofei to have this kind of bragging opportunity. Usually, he only comes into contact with trainers like Wang Tao and the others!
In Haicheng, Wang Tao and other veterans have arrived, all of whom have been famous trainers for a long time...
Having said that, he already thought his Magikarp was pretty cool.
"Heh heh heh, of course! I'm going to give my Magikarp a special training soon, do you want to come and see it?"
"Just in time, you can also go see the Steel Armored Crow!"
"The steel-armored crow is so handsome, your father must be very powerful!"
"I heard the boss brother said that the final evolution of elves is not easy. The trainer who can make the elves finally evolve must love elves!"
"Your father is amazing for being able to evolve the Steel Armored Crow in such a short period of time!"
Liu Qiaoqiao's pupils suddenly lit up when she heard Zhou Xiaofei praising his father.
Although I am still very sad in my heart, people in this world are actually relatively open-minded about separation and death.
Especially when Liu Jiantao's death was so valuable, Liu Qiaoqiao did not deliberately avoid this fact.
For her, the most important thing is that her father is recognized!
The little brother in front of him praised his father so much, and Liu Qiaoqiao immediately felt a sense of intimacy towards him.
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaofei's invitation, Liu Qiaoqiao, who was afraid to go in because the elf center was closed, immediately nodded like a chicken.
"Go, go, go! I'm going! Brother Zhou Xiaofei, take me there!"
With that said, she grabbed Zhou Xiaofei's clothes.
The little girl's adoring eyes and intimate gestures made Zhou Xiaofei blush.
"Then let's go. Besides, you're already soaked. Come in and clean up first."
Mr. Zhou Xiaofei nodded politely and was about to take Liu Qiaoqiao into the elf center.
Next to him, Magikarp, who had been floating in the elemental water, suddenly jumped violently, and the elemental water splashed all over him!
"Eh? What's wrong with you, Magikarp?"
Zhou Xiaofei hugged his precious Carp King in confusion and looked into the night.
"Is there anything?"
"Wait... Why does the rain there seem a little wrong?"
"That's...a person? Why is there no rain around him?"
In Zhou Xiaofei's field of vision.
Under the heavy night, it rained heavily.
In the dense raindrops, a figure wearing a cloak was slowly walking towards this side.
The strange thing is that his whole body actually has a huge outline under the heavy rain!
The raindrops hit this outline, and the splashing water seemed to be swallowed up by a strong and oppressive deathly air!
"What is that...?"
Zhou Xiaofei stopped subconsciously and turned around.
He doesn't know why, but he always feels like there's something very annoying there...
