Rumble————
At the top of the Tianguan Mountain, a few rays of lightning flashed in the black-purple space-time vortex, making it a bit restless.
"Cattleya?"
Hearing Xu Qiansu's voice, Cattleya couldn't help but frown her beautiful eyebrows, and then opened her eyes.
Judging from the familiar soft touch behind me, this is... my villa?
Cattleya turned her head and looked.
Xu Qiansu was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at herself.
A red thread passed through the Flute of God and hung it around his waist.
Cattleya looked into Xu Qiansu's eyes, and suddenly remembered the time when she first came to Xicui... That time, Xu Qiansu was sitting on the edge of the bed like this, looking at herself silently, and she didn't sleep all night.
She sat up, her silky blond hair hanging down.
Cattleya tilted her head and looked around. In her luxurious boudoir, some incense was placed on the table, but the window was open. The breeze brought the warm sun into the room. She gently lifted the curtains, and the dust under the sunlight was blown away casually. Akira, full of cozy and comfortable atmosphere...suitable for a nap.
Cattleya looked away, tilted her little face, looked at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "Did you stay up all night this time too?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Hearing this, Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his handsome face. He chuckled and said, "Remember that night? That night was indeed very hard, after all. I’ve been tired all day too, but I don’t mind taking care of you again.”
Cattleya raised her eyebrows slightly. Although there has been this trend recently, Xu Qiansu would never say such words to Cattleya in this tone... He would only say this to Ma Li.
"The number of people who want to take care of me can be ranked from here to the sky, so there is no shortage of you." Cattleya said slightly tentatively.
"Pull to the sky? What do you mean?" But there was a "click" sound, and Zhulan walked in with a food box in her hand and wearing white home clothes. After hearing this, she couldn't help but tilt her little face.
"It means that there are so many people chasing her that they can fill up the continents and oceans and pile them up into the sky." Xu Qiansu explained.
"Why do you know that...you can also read minds?" Zhulan looked suspiciously at the faces of Xu Qiansu and Cattleya.
Cattleya was slightly startled and stared at Zhu Lan without blinking.
Such a look made Zhulan blink. She stepped forward, put down the food box, lightly tapped Cattleya's smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? It took a lot of effort to get out of the Xicui area. When you come back, don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
"As the saying goes, 'Looking at each other again and again, the most beautiful thing is staring at each other speechlessly', that's it." Xu Qiansu smiled and explained for Cattleya.
After saying that, neither of the two women paid him any attention.
Cattleya could understand, but didn't want to speak.
Although Zhulan couldn't quite understand the poetry of this otherworldly world, she could barely understand the artistic conception. However, her heart was focused on Cattleya at the moment. Seeing Cattleya looking a little dazed and naive, she sat on the bed and said, He stretched out his little hand and touched Cattleya's forehead, "You...could it be that you have lost your memory?"
"Amnesia?" Xu Qiansu clicked her chin, "No wonder...traveling through the back side of the world is extremely dangerous, let alone protecting me...even with the help of the magical stone slab, the mental power was so severely depleted that it even damaged my memory. …”
"Magical slate?" Cattleya frowned slightly and turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu.
"Yes... when I was playing the flute, Cresselia appeared inexplicably and left inexplicably, but she left me a magical slate to help us return to modern times... It is also thanks to this treasure that you can have enough My mental power takes me through the backside of the world." Xu Qiansu explained slowly.
Hearing this, Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu for a while before her expression returned to its usual calm and lazy look. She asked, "Have all your Pokémon come back with you?"
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Soroa... didn't follow him back."
"Really..." Cattleya narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, showing a subtle smile, and said: "Just like Xicui is resisting you, modern times are also resisting creatures like Zoroa from thousands of years ago... This The world may be mysterious, but it actually has its own set of rules that cannot be broken... Even without me, you will return to modern times through various things. In the same way, even if Zoroa comes to modern times with you, she will go back to modern times through various things. Back to Xicui again..."
"This world may be boring." Cattleya obviously thought of the fate Kyurem had arranged for her, so her tone was a little unkind.
The fact that Soraya failed to come back obviously made Xu Qiansu feel a little depressed. He didn't want to say too much about Soraya. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "For more than half a month, you have stayed in the modern world. Miss Zhulan has always taken care of your body."
"I know." Cattleya chuckled. In her heart, Zhulan was very important, very important. Naturally, she also had the same status in Zhulan's heart.
If not, Cattleya would not hesitate to use autosuggestion and almost hypnotic methods to fall in love with Xu Qiansu in order to keep Zhulan alive...
Thinking of this, Cattleya couldn't help but look at Xu Qiansu and asked, "What's the date today?"
"We left Xicui on March 4th, passed through the back side of the world, and successfully returned to modern times... You were in a coma for three days because of exhaustion of mental power, so it was March 7th." Xu Qiansu spoke softly, following Cattleya's footsteps. Explain the ins and outs to her.
March 7th... has passed the time Kyurem originally set.
Cattleya's forehead still had some residual warmth from Zhu Lan's caressing her just now.
Xu Qiansu and Zhulan are still alive...
The sea breeze swept up, blowing into the house with a slight whistling sound, and the curtains were lifted high for a while.
Zhulan frowned. Cattleya had been inactive for many years and her body was weak. Now that she had just woken up from a coma, she should be more careful... She stood up, crossed the incense on the table, and pulled the curtains to cover her. Tie them up and close the window.
Cattleya looked away from Zhu Lan's back and looked at Xu Qiansu. Although the face was the same, the voice was the same, and the expression was the same... but it wasn't.
She said: "Although I prefer the way you understand me and care about me, it's a pity... that he doesn't like me to this extent yet."
As soon as the words fell, the soft big bed, the warm sunshine, the refreshing sea breeze, the fine dust, the bamboo orchid closing the window, and Xu Qiansu who looked confused all turned into pieces, and his vision suddenly turned into darkness.
…
Cattleya frowned slightly and immediately opened her eyes.
Judging from the touch behind him...it was in the car.
For Cattleya, the aristocratic lady who has lived a comfortable life since she was a child, sleeping in a carriage is a difficult condition.
However, Cattleya wouldn't care too much about this hardship at the moment, not to mention... someone was taking good care of her.
She turned her head and looked, and saw some cool moonlight filtering in from the window, shining on the face of Xu Qiansu who was sitting cross-legged... A red thread passed through the Flute of the God, and hung it on his waist, under the moonlight. Slightly reflects a soft halo.
Seeing Cattleya waking up, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing, but his eyes were clearly asking why Cattleya suddenly woke up.
Cattleya looked around and saw that Gardevoir, Pork and other Pokémon were fast asleep, but based on the position where Xu Qiansu was sitting cross-legged and the direction she was facing... he was obviously looking after her.
"You're not going to sleep?"
"Again?" Xu Qiansu was startled for a moment, then shook her head gently, "As Pokémon, Gardevoir and the others always make me feel more at ease in terms of safety."
Cattleya sat up, pinched the hem of her skirt with her little hands, and then changed her position, sitting sideways on the blanket, with a somewhat contented expression.
Yes, Xu Qiansu's answer should be this.
Even if he cares about himself, he won't say it so straightforwardly, he will only use this implicit way of saying it.
Those words that were so straightforward that they were obviously meant as a joke, he only said to Ma Li.
"Did you have a good dream?" Because the Pokémon were all still sleeping, Xu Qiansu lowered his voice. In the night, it gave it a bit of magnetism that was usually hard to hear, but it didn't sound deliberate. , with just the right amount of soothing and tenderness, as if she was about to tell a brief story to Cattleya.
Cattleya nodded slightly, "I had a good dream."
"After all, the Dream God has just arrived." Xu Qiansu's eyebrows slightly arched, she chuckled, and then asked curiously: "What's in the dream?"
Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu's slightly curious face and couldn't help but compare it with him in the dream... Although Xu Qiansu's words in the dream were full of closeness and love for Cattleya, at this moment, Cattleya just wanted to be with her. Speaking to this Xu Qiansu who always lied to her and always deliberately alienated her... Only in front of this Xu Qiansu could Cattleya feel comfortable and comfortable.
"If it were you, what kind of sweet dream would you have?" Cattleya did not answer, but asked softly.
"Well..." Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You are alive, and the Pokémon are fine. Let's go back to modern times smoothly and see Miss Mali again... Such a dream."
Cattleya looked away from Xu Qiansu's face and looked down at her long skirt. After a moment of silence, she said, "No Ma Li."
"Um?"
"There is no Ma Li in my sweet dreams." Cattleya glanced at Xu Qiansu and then said slowly.
"...After all, you and Miss Ma Li are not very familiar with each other." Xu Qiansu changed the subject, took out a pink slate from her arms, and explained: "Kreklia came here before and left this slate... The super power slate should be of great use to your recovery."
"No Gardevoir left for you?"
Xu Qiansu shook her head gently, "Of course I want to leave it to Gardevoir, but the most important thing is for you to recover at this moment, otherwise I will have to worry about whether you will suddenly lose your mind."
Actually no, that's just a method I use to conquer you...
Cattleya didn't show much reaction to the existence of the Dream God and the magical stone slab. She had already guessed about these since she realized that she was dreaming just now.
Magic Slate... Although the name has a bit of an "Invincible Sword" feel to it, it is undeniable that for super-powered Pokémon, it is the most precious treasure among treasures, even for super-powered people. .
Cattleya looked at the slate handed over by Xu Qiansu, but she still didn't take it.
The moonlight shone like silver gauze on the two of them from the window. Apart from the soft and soothing breathing of the Pokémon, there was only the sound of the car's frame leisurely rolling over the snow.
The method that allows Xu Qiansu to pass through the back of the world safely... is the magic stone slab.
Even though Cattleya has never come into contact with this object before, as a person with super powers, it is impossible for her to be completely unable to use it... As long as she uses the power of the magical stone slab, Cattleya is confident that the two of them can pass through it unscathed. The backside of the world.
In other words, at this moment, Cattleya can open the door of time and space and bring Xu Qiansu back to modern times.
She looked at the stone slab and bit her silver teeth.
But there are still three days left before the day Kyurem scheduled... Today is March 4th.
This question before her could no longer be avoided.
Will Xu Qiansu die from this? Did he die unexpectedly while traveling to the other side of the world?
Is there something wrong with this slate... It's impossible. As a person with super powers, Cattleya can judge the authenticity of this kind of treasure. The aura that is superior to everything in this world is unmistakable.
That means Giratina, who lives on the other side of the world, will attack the two of them?
The chance is not high, the world is so vast behind, let alone whether the two of them will encounter Giratina, Giratina itself is not the type to take action against humans when he has nothing to do... Compared to the grumpy one Kyurem and Giratina are more like spoilers who are not interested in anything. The only thing he is interested in and will take action for is to defeat Arceus.
It is more likely that Giratina snatched the magic stone in order to enhance his own strength.
Giratina should be taken precautions and find a way to cover up the aura of the magical stone slab.
If none of the above were the reasons for Xu Qiansu's death, what would they be?
What other accidents will happen after returning to modern times?
Kyurem's stupid dragon came here in person?
Or is the power of the fireball slate inside Vulpix going berserk again?
There are so many possibilities…need to be prepared.
But what preparations should be made to save Xu Qiansu's life? There are so many possibilities.
"Cattleya." Xu Qiansu suddenly spoke, interrupting Cattleya's thoughts.
"What?" Cattleya was still thinking about how to keep Xu Qiansu alive, so she asked casually without even looking at him.
Then there was a slight cold touch on his forehead.
"Why this expression? What's wrong with you?"
But Xu Qiansu gently caressed her smooth forehead... exactly the same as Zhulan's care for her in the dream.
There is nothing special about this action, most people would do it...but for Cattleya, it was different when it was done by these two people.
The difference is that Zhulan's little hands are soft and warm, while Xu Qiansu's hands are a bit cold.
Are his hands that cold?
Xu Qiansu always takes care of her and worries about various things. His hands should be warm and give people a sense of security.
But no... Cattleya raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her.
At this moment, Cattleya realized that Xu Qiansu looked so tired...Had she really slept well these days?
I just had a good sleep just now.
She pursed her lips, waved her hand gently, and two high-end black balls appeared in front of Xu Qiansu.
"I have a way to go back. In order to reduce consumption, you first use the Poke Balls in the Xicui area to subdue Vulpix and Zoroa."
Xu Qiansu was slightly startled, then took the high-level ball. Without asking any questions, he gently touched Vulpix and Soraya on their foreheads to subdue them.
Cattleya looked at the subdued Zoroa with her blue eyes for a while, then shook her head gently, "But we still need to make some preparations. During this time, go and worship your first love... About three days later Then left Xicui."
Xu Qiansu looked at her for a while, then said 'hmm' and said, "Don't force it."
"With the magical slate here, everything is safe." Cattleya took the magical slate, closed her eyes, and began to become familiar with the power of the slate.
Cattleya wanted to protect Zhulan, but also didn't want Xu Qiansu to die, but... the Xicui area didn't give Cattleya much time to prepare.
The space-time rift at the top of Tianguan Mountain suddenly roared, and the purple-black electric light swayed like a snake... This space-time rift was created when Cattleya forcibly opened the door of time and space from the back of the world.
Naturally, he is familiar with the 'key' in Cattleya's hand.
It was nothing at first, but now as we climbed over Tianguan Mountain, and as we got closer and closer... it finally resonated.
