The sun slowly sets, and the night is sultry. The lights of the town called Beili are lit up, and the people are buzzing with people, giving it a halo of mist in the night.
Crunchy————
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the town gate, attracting the attention of the guard...
Not many people can afford the frame, and not only is the frame a bit weird in structure, but it's also not pulled by anyone or a Pokémon... This is eye-catching.
Just as the guards were waiting, the curtains of the car were lifted slightly, and a handsome young man in white stepped out of the carriage and waved to the guards to indicate that he was not hostile.
The guard was slightly startled. His appearance and temperament were not ordinary. Could it be that the person coming was a prince or noble from which region?
Although transportation in this era is inconvenient, there are definitely not many travelers coming and going, so it is not impossible to meet any noble son traveling... Is it just a guard? Could it be that this noble young man escaped secretly?
While the guards were still wondering about the identity of the visitor, they saw that the young man in white had already taken a few steps forward and asked loudly: "Can I store bicycle frames here?"
The guards came back to their senses and hurriedly took a few steps forward. Because of the appearance and temperament of the young man in white, his tone could not help but be a little respectful, "Just drive into the town. There is a special place to store the bicycle frames."
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu couldn't help but sigh that although the Xicui area was dangerous, it was relatively convenient to travel. They were both in ancient times, but in previous lives, they needed road signs and other documents to enter the city.
A guard stepped forward to lead the way. Xu Qiansu waved slightly, and the carriage automatically followed the guard.
"...Is this?" Another guard looked at Xu Qiansu.
"I have a Pokémon with super powers." Xu Qiansu explained with a smile.
Beili Town, as the junction of Honglian Wetland and Ultramarine Coast, is a transportation hub. The flow of people is not small. Poke balls and other items are naturally spread here. It may not be as good as Zhuqing Village, but Compared with the somewhat closed Ultramarine Town, it is undoubtedly much more open-minded regarding Pokémon, so there is no need to be too taboo about the existence of Pokémon... Naturally, the economy is also much more prosperous.
Xu Qiansu had already figured out this level of information before coming here.
The guard couldn't help but look envious after hearing this... Even though Pokémon battles are not very popular in the Xicui area, the power and rogueness of super-powered Pokémon are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, he looked at Xu Qiansu with a bit of respect from the bottom of his heart.
The carriage passed Xu Qiansu and drove into the town... Xu Qiansu nodded slightly to the guard and then followed the carriage into Beili Town.
Xu Qiansu would go to Celebration Village, but it was impossible to just drive there without hesitation. He would encounter towns along the way that needed supplies. Cattleya needed materials to make a simple manual charger... Chilulian's whereabouts also required Xu Qiansu to inquire carefully.
…
Stepping into the town gate, Xu Qiansu's first impression was that of excitement.
The ancients didn't have much entertainment. Every night, they would either sleep honestly or... not sleep honestly.
But Beili Town is different. There are big stalls and hawkers all over the streets in all directions. Even though it is already night, there are still people coming and going, bustling and bustling, making it look like a festival... It seems that the business in this town is very developed.
The most important thing is that passers-by on the roadside also take their Pokémon through the streets and alleys... If it weren't for the different architectural styles and clothing, Xu Qiansu would have doubted whether she had arrived in the modern age...
"Is this your first time coming to Beili Town, sir?" the guard who was leading the way tilted his head and spoke.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and asked, "What festival is there tonight?"
The guard shook his head and chuckled, "That's not true. Beili Town doesn't say it's like this every night, but there are about ten days in a month that it's as lively as today... Since this is your first time, sir, you have to have a good time tonight. Come on, Beili Town, as a gathering place from all directions, is far more prosperous than the surrounding villages and towns... It’s long past time to change the town into a city.”
Xu Qiansu smiled gently and asked, "Is there a place for storytelling here?"
"Storytelling? What is that?" the guard asked curiously.
“It’s where stories are told.”
"Oh, go and wander around the streets. If you pass by restaurants or restaurants, there will always be people telling you some interesting stories."
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu stopped talking. When the guard asked him, he gave a short answer... He had a cold temperament, but he seemed to talk too much in front of Ma Li.
After walking to the place where the bicycle frame was stored, Xu Qiansu stuffed some money into her as a token of gratitude, then climbed onto the bicycle frame, picked up Soraya in one hand, turned her head to look at Cattleya, and said with a smile: "Do you want to cancel the ghost transformation?" , take a stroll here?”
Cattleya, who was meditating, opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are not anxious at all. Do you still have some leisurely fun?"
"Miss Ma Li's greatest advantage, apart from her cuteness, is that she can stay calm no matter what happens... So along the way, I have gradually learned this." Xu Qiansu shook her head and chuckled.
Of course Xu Qiansu didn't want to go on a trip, he just used this opportunity to find out information about Qilulian and buy some daily necessities.
"Nonsense, I was so angry that I crushed the fruit."
"It seems that what I learned is not to stay calm, but to quickly relax unnecessary negative emotions..." Xu Qiansu followed Cattleya's words naturally, "In the past, there were several underground people who had survived for thousands of years. Whenever they encountered When faced with an adverse situation, he will quickly calm down by laughing or crying..."
"The underground person with unknown meaning." Cattleya shook her head slightly, then stood up and stepped on the wooden board... This proved that she had become material, that is, she could be seen and touched by humans... Although until this moment Xu Qiansu He couldn't figure out the reason for this, but since Cattleya had always been a very mysterious woman, Xu Qiansu didn't bother to delve into it.
The two opened the curtain and stepped off the frame.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly to the guard guarding the carriage, and then walked toward the street with Soraya in his arms.
Cattleya followed him, walking slowly step by step, as if she was recalling the feeling of walking... Walking was indeed a relatively unfamiliar experience for Cattleya, after all, she had long been accustomed to flying instead of walking.
The guard couldn't help but follow Cattleya, and then a calm voice came to his ears, "Watch your eyes."
The voice was soft, lazy but elegant, but hearing these words made the guard feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He quickly looked away, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he secretly wondered in his heart what the origin of these travelers was? It’s just that one looks better than the other. Why do they have such inexplicable and weird abilities?
Xu Qiansu glanced at Cattleya and said with a smile: "With Miss Cattleya's appearance, it is human nature to want to look at her more... Why bother to scare him like this?"
"He keeps staring at me, aren't you angry?" Cattleya asked dissatisfiedly without raising her eyelids.
"If it were Miss Mali, I would probably be angry."
"Did you do this on purpose?" Cattleya glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu and asked.
Xu Qiansu withdrew her gaze, looked down at Vulpix, who was following him on cat steps, and asked softly: "There are so many vendors on the street...what do you want to eat?"
"Ugh?" Vulpix said, "I don't want to eat any so-called snacks. I just want you to throw Soraya down and hug me."
Vulpix didn't want to eat it, but the vine snake that had been lying on Xu Qiansu's shoulder pointed to a store that seemed to sell octopus balls, indicating that she wanted to eat it.
Xu Qiansu walked over, while Cattleya looked at him with her hands behind her back.
The handsome young man in white clothes with an extraordinary temperament was bargaining with the boss to buy a snack, but his words and deeds were very serious... He looked a bit like a child.
Cattleya shook her head and laughed, then immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at the streets with people coming and going... Cattleya had never been to such a lively but noisy place.
Zhulan went often, and also thought about taking Cattleya to play... but Cattleya preferred sleeping to playing, and because of her identity and temperament, she gave up every time.
"Miss Cattleya, try it?"
In a blink of an eye, Xu Qiansu handed over a box of steaming meatballs.
Cattleya blinked. She had never eaten this kind of street food before, so she hesitated for a while before reaching out her little hand to take it.
Xu Qiansu looked away, then tied a small meatball with a bamboo skewer and fed it to Soraya, "Is it delicious?"
"Hmm~"
Xu Qiansu chuckled, fed Vulpix and Vine Snake again, and then stepped forward.
Cattleya followed, and the two of them walked on the street not far apart, one behind the other. They seemed to be no different from the young men and women walking together.
Cattleya's appearance was extremely outstanding, and her temperament was even better. Needless to say, Xu Qiansu attracted a lot of people's attention when they walked on the street, but no one came to talk to her.
Cattleya took small bites of the hot meatballs...the taste wasn't bad, but just like that.
After she eats it once, she won't eat it again.
Xu Qiansu suddenly stopped, Cattleya also paused and looked up, only to see Xu Qiansu tilting her head to look at a teahouse.
Cattleya followed Xu Qiansu's line of sight and saw that there was an old gentleman telling some stories that Cattleya thought were meaningless.
Fighting against an entire ferocious Pokémon group by yourself, saving the village, or bravely entering the dragon's pond and tiger's den for an elf egg... The story is novel and exaggerated, but for Cattleya, she can do all of these. So I feel bored.
But Soraya's eyes were shining, he was attentive, and he listened very seriously... It seemed that he was very interested in these things.
Xu Qiansu stopped and listened for a while, then stepped forward and asked the guests if they had heard the story of a heterochromatic Chirulian... After a while, she walked out of the teahouse, shook her head gently at Cattleya, and then smiled, " Let’s go.”
Cattleya nodded slightly, and the two of them walked silently on the bustling street without saying anything.
Xu Qiansu walked up and down, asking people around her for news about Chilulian from time to time... but rarely spoke to Cattleya.
Cattleya wasn't angry at all, she just watched Xu Qiansu's every move silently.
As they were walking, Xu Qiansu suddenly turned around and asked, "Miss Cattleya rarely goes out on the street like this?"
"Although I have a noble status, I am not a lady with no life experience." Cattleya replied, then paused and then said: "But as long as I can remember, I have been locked behind a green wall until I met When I came to Zhulan, I had my own Pokémon, and with strength, I had the opportunity to go out for a walk...but at that time, I was no longer at the age to be interested in this."
Cattleya never mentioned her past experiences to Xu Qiansu, so Xu Qiansu raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled and said: "You are only twenty years old, but you are said to be like an aristocratic lady in her thirties or forties."
"Mrs. Noble?" Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu and said calmly: "They seem to have a good life, but they need to pay attention to their manners and behavior at all times. If they hang out all day long, they will only get themselves into trouble... Although I don't need to care. In this regard, it’s pretty much the same.”
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said: "It seems that you have not left a good impression on the world before. Going out casually will only cause panic."
The rampage of mental power is equivalent to an unstable time bomb. No one dares to bet that Cattleya can completely control it and read minds... Therefore, although Cattleya is one of the most powerful superpowers in this world, she is also the leader of the United States. The Four Heavenly Kings, but in the eyes of the world, they are still the ones they are afraid of avoiding.
Previously, Cattleya's only friend was Zhulan. Apart from her personality, this was also the reason.
Cattleya was already used to Xu Qiansu's keen observation and judgment, so she just said 'hmm' for a moment, "They are afraid of me, so they are afraid of me. I don't care about this myself."
Xu Qiansu smiled without saying anything, and then looked at the many shops nearby. She was silent for a moment, then looked back at Cattleya, pointed at a small shop, and asked, "Are you hungry? Want some more?"
Cattleya turned her head and looked, only to see an ordinary small shop covered with a curtain, with only a row of vertical stools exposed. The warm yellow light followed the heat of the birds and came out of the curtain, and mixed with it. There was a soft sound of 'Zizzizi'.
Oden... is commonly seen in the Kanto and Johto areas of this world, but it is also found in the Saisui area, and I don't know which area it originated from.
Cattleya frowned slightly. She instinctively resisted this kind of small shop. It wasn't that it tasted bad, but that it was unclean and poorly decorated. Generally speaking, going there would only attract everyone's attention and prevent her from concentrating on eating.
However, she looked Xu Qiansu over and nodded gently, but did not refuse.
Xu Qiansu smiled, led the Pokémon forward, opened the curtain, sat down on the vertical stool, placed Zoroa, Vulpix and Vine Snake on the stools aside, and ordered three portions. One each of oden, radish, potato, bamboo wheel, fish ball, lucky egg, etc.
Cattleya opened the curtain, and the warm yellow light that came into view made her subconsciously frown slightly. Then she held on to her long skirt and sat down next to Xu Qiansu, with her long blond hair hanging down behind her.
There weren't many customers in the store, just them.
The boss was a silent middle-aged man. He glanced at Xu Qiansu, Cattleya and the Pokémon, then looked away. He silently prepared the oden, and soon placed it in front of Xu Qiansu and others.
Zoroa had never eaten anything like this before, so he couldn't wait to bite it.
"Get a few more cups." Xu Qiansu touched Zoroa's little head, then took off the wine bottle from her waist and looked at Cattleya, "Drink some?"
Cattleya nodded lightly indifferently.
"Bojiu~" Teng Teng Snake nodded her toes, stretched out her little hands, and waited for Xu Qiansu to pour a full glass for her before narrowing her big burgundy eyes cutely.
Xu Qiansu took a bite of the soft cooked radish, took another sip of wine, and ate silently without saying anything.
Cattleya didn't have much appetite, so she raised her face sideways and looked at the bustling crowds and the brightly lit streets through the heat of the birds.
After watching alone for a while, she withdrew her gaze, looked at Xu Qiansu, and said, "I will buy some copper wires, good wood and other materials later, and I will be able to make a charger... You will be able to interact with your Ma without any restrictions. Miss Li can speak freely."
Xu Qiansu took another sip of wine before putting down the glass with a gentle smile, "Fortunately, Miss Cattleya is here."
"Yeah." Cattleya responded casually, playing with the wine glass casually with her white and tender hands, without saying anything more.
Sizzling————
The hot oden soup makes a soft sound, and the aroma continues to echo on the tip of the nose.
But I heard a young man and woman walking into the shop while talking and laughing, and sat down on the vertical stool.
It seems they are a couple.
However, although they are lovers, they don't have any wild behavior, and they have a Hexi flavor that is "love but only polite".
Cattleya looked away and immediately looked at Xu Qiansu, but suddenly realized that although Xu Qiansu was full of lies and had said many love words to Ma Li, he never seemed to respond directly...
So she asked directly, "Do you like Ma Li?"
Xu Qiansu glanced at Cattleya in confusion, feeling a little confused, and then said: "What Miss Cattleya just meant is that everyone is afraid of you... But currently, no one in the Xicui area knows our identities. From now on, You can come and hang out often."
There was still no direct answer, but Cattleya could read minds, so it didn't matter whether Xu Qiansu answered or not.
She felt a little bored, so she picked up the wine glass and sipped lightly.
Xu Qiansu smiled, then picked up a piece of potato and fed it to Soraya.
Then he said: "When I get back, let's eat oden again...just to see how the taste has changed after such a long time."
Cattleya was slightly startled, silent for a while, and then said, "You haven't eaten it?"
"No."
"I mean your world."
Xu Qiansu glanced at Cattleya, but didn't care. She chuckled and said, "I had better choices at that time...hot pot, spicy hot pot, etc., so I didn't try this."
"Never eaten."
"I'll do it for you next time."
Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu again, picked up a piece of radish, put it into her lips, and chewed it slowly.
Xu Qiansu chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
Sizzling——————
The hot oden soup still made a soft sound, and the aroma continued to echo on the tip of the nose. The difference was that this time, there was a young man and a woman talking and laughing next to his ears.
