Ultramarine Town is brightly lit.
"Oh my god, why does it feel like Tianguan Mountain is about to collapse!?"
"Could it be that the Great Master of Sinnoh is angry?"
"nonsense!"
"Then, what else could it be!?"
Visions falling from the sky and vortexes of time and space caused the citizens of Qunqing Town to panic... The world that had always been normal suddenly became like this, and it was normal to panic.
Jing stood on the street, looking up at the vortex of time and space. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and walked towards Xu Qiansu's residence.
With such a vision, he wanted to ask the experienced foreign businessman what he thought.
He walked across the street and within a moment he came to the house and knocked lightly on the door.
No one answered.
Jing was slightly startled and knocked on the door again.
Snap————
The door opened slightly, and Xu Qiansu, wearing a black kimono, stood behind the door.
"Excuse me... Mr. Xu is still resting?"
"Well, it's okay. What's wrong?"
"I was born with a strange phenomenon... Sir, do you know what's going on?"
Xu Qiansu turned her head and glanced, her eyebrows raised, a little surprised, then she pondered for a moment, then shook her head gently, "I have never seen such a strange phenomenon in my hometown."
"As expected..." Jing thought for a moment, then realized what he was doing and smiled sheepishly, "I won't disturb Mr. Xu's rest..." After that, he took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Xu Qiansu glanced at his back and slammed the door.
He hasn't figured out how to explain Cattleya's origin yet.
Xu Qiansu stepped on the tatami, walked into the back room, reached out and touched Cattleya's forehead, then took out the always-prepared antipyretics from her backpack, and helped Cattleya up.
"Cattleya, Cattleya... open your mouth and take the medicine..."
Although Cattleya was weak and had a high fever, she was obviously still conscious.
Hearing this, she frowned slightly, opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and then asked softly: "Whose bedding...is this?"
Um? bedding?
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled. It was naturally impossible for him to put Cattleya on the tatami randomly, so she was lying on the quilt at the moment... But Xu Qiansu didn't know who the quilt belonged to. It belonged to this room...
But I smelled it when he was covering it, and there was no smell, and it was very clean... Could it be that Cattleya disliked the smell because he had slept with it?
As a noble lady, Cattleya has a bit of mysophobia, which is normal.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu replied: "It's mine...I'll get you another quilt later."
Hearing this, Cattleya's tense body relaxed slightly. She leaned forward slightly and took the pill from Xu Qiansu's hand. Then she frowned, feeling so miserable.
Xu Qiansu picked up the water glass.
Cattleya asked again: "Is this water glass yours?"
ah? This water cup is naturally made by Xu Qiansu. I have been using it for two months and often use it to hold lemonade.
He nodded slightly and was about to change the cup, but saw that Cattleya was already holding the water cup and drinking the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Not a mysophobia? Xu Qiansu shook her head, it's not important.
He adjusted Cattleya's posture, covered her with a quilt, then picked up the phone and dialed Ma Li's number.
"Escaped?" Ma Li's voice was still so clear and sweet.
"Well, she has stabilized... But Cattleya has a slight fever. Now she has taken medicine and has fallen asleep." Xu Qiansu looked at Cattleya's face and explained in a low voice.
"It's just a fever...that's good luck."
Xu Qiansu frowned, "What happened?"
"You have to ask her about the specific situation... But the ghost can actually have a fever and can take medicine... It's really a wide world, full of surprises."
"ghost?"
The green lights are dim and the night sky is lonely.
Ma Li turned her head to look at Cattleya lying next to her, reached out and caressed her smooth forehead, and said: "She sank her consciousness into that pendant, and her body is still here... Since you have seen When we reach her, it proves that she has successfully traveled through time...but in the form of a spiritual body."
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu frowned. He stretched out his hand to hold Cattleya's little hand. It was soft and cold. He could indeed touch Cattleya... and although Cattleya had a high fever, But his face is rosy, and he doesn’t look like a spiritual body at all…
"Tell me more about it." Xu Qiansu said. He was still a little confused... The pendant may be the source of time travel, but just by sinking the consciousness into the pendant, you can come to Xicui... Is that any one? Can all super-powered Pokémon come here? Is this world just a small space inside the pendant?
There are too many questions.
"I don't know. For specific matters, you have to ask Cattleya. She is the participant in everything." Ma Li answered quite simply. If you don't know, you just don't know. "But one thing can be confirmed."
"What?" Xu Qiansu let go of Cattleya's hand, stood up and walked to the stove to boil hot water.
"To be able to make that person with unparalleled superpowers become like this, she must have endured a lot of hardships and encountered many dangers... all for you." Ma Li's voice took on a new tone. An inexplicable smile, "As expected of Mr. Xu, who claims to be the best at understanding women's hearts in the world."
Xu Qiansu stirred the firewood under the stove with a wooden stick and said nothing.
Ma Li's voice came next, "Cattleya's body is very safe in modern times... But if something goes wrong with your Cattleya, her body obviously won't be safe either... You should pay more attention, her kind If there is no way to travel through time and space, what kind of accident will happen if you don’t guarantee it.”
"I understand." The eloquent Xu Qiansu seemed a bit silent at this moment.
After chatting for a while about Cattleya, he hung up the phone... After all, power is still very precious.
He put down the wooden stick that was stirring the firewood and reached out to hold the gold and silver pendant, feeling its hard and cold touch...
If it weren't for it, Xu Qiansu wouldn't have come to this strange era, but if it weren't for it, Xu Qiansu might have died.
Xu Qiansu let go of her hand, stood up and walked to Cattleya's side, then reached out and touched her smooth forehead, then stood up, opened the door and left.
"Chirp?" Ivy Snake looked at Xu Qiansu's back in confusion, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Cattleya's face. Following Xu Qiansu's example, he stretched out his little hand and touched her forehead...but he touched her forehead. Suddenly, his little hand passed directly through Cattleya's forehead.
"Bocha!?" Tengteng Snake was shocked. Did he meet a ghost?
Cattleya originally liked to float around in the air, but now she can't touch it and looks more like a ghost...
Not long after, Xu Qiansu opened the door and came back, and an alluring aroma came from his body.
With Cattleya's current physical condition, it was better not to waste time cooking... So he went out and bought a lot of snacks for dinner.
"Bocha~ Bocha!" The Vine Snake kept passing its small hands through Cattleya's face, telling Xu Qiansu that this woman had turned into a ghost... She, was she already dead? ah?
Thinking about it, Vine Snake is a little scared... She is not afraid of ghost-type Pokémon, and they can hit them accurately, but ghosts among humans... she has never seen them before.
I heard that the Night Demon has the job of sending human ghosts lingering in the world to the spiritual world. Should we go find the Night Demon...
Xu Qiansu sat down next to Cattleya and opened the various packages in her arms.
The alluring aroma became even stronger. After sniffing it, the Vine Snake didn't care whether Cattleya was a ghost... She sat directly on Xu Qiansu's lap and used the vine whip to hold up a pill that was half the size of her body. The sesame seed cake started to bite.
After fighting so many times tonight, she was already hungry.
Xu Qiansu helped Cattleya up and gently asked her to get up, "Cattleya, it's time to eat..."
Since she can drink water and take medicine, eating must not be a problem... But I wonder if she, as a spiritual body, can replenish energy by eating at this moment.
"Ah~" Cattleya opened her soft pink lips. Just when Xu Qiansu thought she would use her super powers to help her eat like she did before, she found that the food didn't move at all... Her mental power seemed to be exhausted, so she was super Don’t use your ability if you can’t use it?
Xu Qiansu thought of this, took the sesame cake, broke off a small half, and said:
"We started with sesame pancakes. They were crispy on the outside, but just right on the inside, full of wheat flavor... There was a beggar emperor who couldn't eat, so his wife asked someone to bring a pancake maker from the neighborhood to bake pancakes for him. ...The emperor likes to eat sesame cakes, and I also like to eat them. Rounding things off, I am the emperor... The emperor feeds you food, do you feel very appetitive?"
Cattleya bit into the sesame seed cakes that Xu Qiansu fed her and chewed them carefully. She ignored Xu Qiansu's words, but still closed her eyes and rested her head on Xu Qiansu's shoulders.
good! have eaten! It’s good to be able to eat!
Xu Qiansu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the cup filled with tree juice. "Even the beggar emperor has never been able to drink this stuff in his life. This shows that we are better than him..."
Cattleya turned her face away.
Not drinking? Xu Qiansu took a sip. It tasted quite delicious. It was made from pure natural tree fruit juice.
Is it because the cup is dirty? Xu Qiansu poured the juice into the cup from which Cattleya had just drank water.
I drank it now... It seems that Cattleya still has a certain degree of mysophobia.
Xu Qiansu put down the cup, took another bowl of buckwheat noodles, and said, "This... the beggar emperor should eat it often. From this we can see that it tastes very good."
Cattleya slowly bit into the noodles. Even at the moment when she was being fed by Xu Qiansu, her demeanor made people feel elegant and noble.
After chewing, Cattleya opened her lips lightly and finally said a word.
"Zhu Yuanzhang will be mad at you when he hears this..."
Xu Qiansu was startled for a moment, then laughed softly and whispered: "He doesn't seem to be such a heartless person. What's more, he is a dead man, so he won't let me talk about it?"
"...You can still read minds, does that mean you have recovered a lot?"
Cattleya still didn't open her eyes. She replied slowly: "Mind reading... has little to do with my mental power..."
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly, held the chopsticks, and fed Cattleya another bite of buckwheat noodles.
"You're so good...have another bite of sesame seed cake."
"Take another sip of juice..."
"One bite of cake, one bite of noodles, authentic..."
The snarling Vine Snake couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard Xu Qiansu's words. Was he treating the human ghost like a child?
Xu Qiansu tore off another piece of cake and put it to Cattleya's mouth... She turned her face away and refused to eat.
I am full.
Xu Qiansu wiped her soft pink lips, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, picked up the snake and left the back room, silently eating the leftover food of Cattleya.
"Ah~" Xu Qiansu tore off the pancake and placed it near Teng Teng Snake's mouth.
"啵啾~" The vine snake took a big bite.
She covered her cheeks with her little hands and chewed happily.
Xu Qiansu laughed softly, and after he and Teng Teng Snake finished eating all the food they bought, they took out a brand new set of bedding from the cupboard.
Very clean and no smell.
Xu Qiansu laid the bed next to Cattleya... There was no other place to lay the bed. The house was only so large in total. The front room was for cooking and the back room was for sleeping...
After the vine snake got into the cup, Xu Qiansu blew out the light, but he just sat on the quilt without sleeping... He took a wet towel and physically cooled Cattleya.
As Ma Li said, Cattleya's move obviously carries great risks. No one knows whether any accidents will happen. Even if she only seems to have a high fever at the moment, she cannot relax her vigilance.
So Xu Qiansu sat silently next to Cattleya, taking care of her, and never took his eyes off Cattleya's face for a moment.
This continued until the sky became brighter and people began to appear outside the quiet house.
Cattleya opened her eyes, with something inexplicable appearing in her eyes, and met Xu Qiansu's gaze.
"Good morning, Miss Cattleya, do you need to use the bathroom?"
Cattleya stood up slightly, then picked up the pillow and slapped it on Xu Qiansu's face.
"pain……"
Turns out ghosts don’t need to go to the bathroom…
…
Xu Qiansu withdrew her hand from Cattleya's forehead and said in a relaxed tone, "The fever has gone down quite a bit. I should rest for another day and I will be able to fully recover... How did you get here?"
Cattleya looked much better, but she was still lying on the quilt. She turned over, faced Xu Qiansu's direction, raised her eyes to look at him, and whispered: "I traveled to the back of the world."
"Tell me more about it." Xu Qiansu took the water cup and fed it to Cattleya.
There was some thought in Cattleya's eyes. She stood up and looked at Xu Qiansu, with her long golden hair hanging in front of her, and explained:
"When my consciousness sank into the pendant, all I could see was darkness, and then I entered a desolate world, which should be the back of the world... There seemed to be unknown forces around me pulling on me, swallowing my power... ...If I hadn't been able to sense the mark on your body, I would have fallen into it..."
Cattleya said it easily, but the reality is far from that simple... The place she went to was indeed the back of the world... The place where Arceus banished Giratina, how could a human be allowed to come and go freely in that kind of place? without paying any price...
If Cattleya hadn't been an extremely powerful superpower, she might have been trapped there until she lost consciousness... Only she knew the danger.
But even if she was lucky enough to travel through the back side of the world and come here, her mental power has been almost exhausted, and her vitality has been greatly damaged... With her current mental power, it is even a little worse than La Lulas who had just gone through the growth period.
After a night, her mental power has only recovered a little bit. Cattleya has never experienced this feeling of almost losing her superpower since she was a child... If she can't find a way to recover quickly, she can only slowly recover like this. .
Although Xu Qiansu didn't understand the specific dangers involved, he could also see Cattleya's physical condition.
He asked: "You took such a big risk to come here... just to take me back?"
"Yeah." Cattleya nodded.
"What should we do specifically?" Xu Qiansu asked again.
Cattleya tilted her head.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but laugh. He stood up, faced Cattleya's gaze, and said with a helpless smile: "Let's first think about how to survive in this era, and then think about how to go home."
"I will take you home." Cattleya nodded, her delicate and pretty face confident and elegant.
Xu Qiansu didn't answer. He walked to the front room and started making porridge.
"Chirp--" The Vine Snake arched into the quilt, then got out of it and stretched out.
Cattleya lowered her eyes and looked at her, "Huh? Why are you, a snake, here?"
It turned out that Cattleya's eyes had no room for the figure of the Vine Snake last night.
"Bocha." Vine Snake rolled his eyes, climbed onto Xu Qiansu's shoulders with his short legs, and watched him make porridge.
Cattleya nodded her chin, floated in the air, came to Xu Qiansu's side, and stared at him as he cooked porridge... She really looked more and more like a ghost.
One person, a little green snake, a ghost... Xu Qiansu's journey in this strange era seems to have just begun.
