Chapter 479 The Crowned Queen: VIP 50, awaiting my return to the throne...
Xia Chi finally succeeded in leading the Brilliant King down the mountain.
Before descending the mountain, King Rai turned around to look at the little ones behind him.
The Snow Child remained standing there, gazing longingly at it.
The sneezing bear curled up into a ball, but still poked its head out to look at it.
Bingbao stood the straightest, as if trying hard to remain strong, but her eyes were full of reluctance.
The tiny Ice Vulpix was still standing at the very front.
It raised its head and looked at the Crown King.
There was reluctance and dependence in those eyes.
There was also a hint of understanding that said, "Go ahead, don't worry about us."
The Crowned King's heart skipped a beat.
It opened its mouth, as if wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
It wanted to take them with it.
But it wasn't sure if the human in front of it would agree.
After all, that's four mouths to feed, which is no small number.
It hesitated slightly, about to speak, when Xia Chi preemptively said, "Let's take the Ice Six-Tailed Fox and the others down with us."
King Rai was taken aback and looked up at him.
Xia Chi's expression was calm. "You don't need to worry about food and clothing. I can take care of everything for you."
He paused, looked at the little ones, and gave them a gentle smile.
"Anyway, raising a whole group is the same as raising a whole group, so a few more won't make a difference."
The Queen of the Lace Crown looked at him without saying a word for a long time.
For the first time, a complex emotion surfaced in those small eyes hidden beneath the crown.
It nodded slightly.
Thank you.
The voice was soft, but sincere.
When Ice Vulpix heard Xia Chi's words, its eyes lit up.
It looked back at its companions, then ran to Xia Chi, tilted its little head up, and let out a soft call.
"Waaah"
The voice was soft and sweet, as if it were a thank you.
Xia Chi smiled, bent down, and gently stroked its little head.
The Ice Vulpix squinted its eyes and let out a comfortable cry.
All six tails wagged happily.
Perhaps in order to preserve what little dignity she had left, the Queen of the Rathalos ultimately descended the mountain as "Big-Headed Nyula".
The enormous head bobbed up and down in the snow, looking particularly comical.
There were no unexpected incidents such as "Rocket Team's sneak attack" along the way.
Even if there are still remnants of the Rockets, they probably wouldn't have the courage to actually wage war against Xia Chi.
It was nearly noon when we got back to Xiao Kangna's house.
The sunlight shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.
Kanna was sitting at the door, holding a blue cotton bird and lost in thought.
When she saw Xia Chi return, her eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped up, her little face filled with joy.
"Brother Xia Chi, you're back!"
She ran over, tilting her little head up, her eyes sparkling.
"I thought you had already left..."
Xia Chi smiled slightly.
He bent down and reached out to rub Kanna's little head.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely say goodbye to Kanna properly before I leave."
Kanna's eyes sparkled with joy, but she still pretended to be angry and pushed Xia Chi's hand away.
"Don't touch your head, or you won't grow tall!"
She pouted, looking very serious.
Kanna's gaze passed over Xia Chi and landed behind him.
"Wrong, they are..."
She pointed to the elves following Xia Chi and asked curiously.
The Queen of the Rachel, still appearing as "Big Head Nyula," was standing at the very back, trying to minimize her presence.
But its head was too big to hide.
The Ice Six-tailed Tauren lined up, curiously observing the unfamiliar little girl.
The blue cotton bird peeked out from Kanna's arms, saw the ice six-tailed bird, its eyes lit up, and it waved its little wings in greeting.
The Ice Vulpix let out a soft cry in response.
"Are these the Pokémon you captured today, Brother Xia Chi?"
"Kanna asked curiously."
The Queen of the Rachel, who appeared as "Big Head Nyula," immediately shook her head.
The movement was so fast and the amplitude so large that it almost knocked his head off.
Absolutely not!
It refuses to be subdued by anyone!
Even if it was just something a child said unintentionally.
That resolute attitude, that resistant expression, was as if they had been subjected to a tremendous insult.
Xia Chi didn't care about such trivial matters and smiled, "Um...they're my friends. Can they stay at your house for a few days?"
"Of course!"
Connor said happily, a bright smile blooming on her little face.
"Stay as long as you want, Kanna loves a lively atmosphere!"
She counted on her fingers, "Meowth, Victini, Hoopa, Dragonite, Latias, Urgot, Milton... and now there are new friends! Yay!"
King Rachel looked at the jubilant little girl and nodded slightly.
It cleared its throat and said in as majestic a voice as possible, "You are quite good. When I return to the throne, I will reward you with the finest fruit."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kanna's smile froze on her face.
She slowly turned her head to look at Xia Chi, her voice trembling slightly.
"It...it can talk! Brother Xia Chi, this Nymph can talk!"
Summer Pond:
'
He glared at the Crowned King helplessly.
No, why do you keep scaring kids?
And isn't your promise a bit... too cheap?
Will you reward me with the finest tree fruit?
The mighty and bountiful King rewards us with tree fruit?
If you can't even draw a picture of a pie, what are you doing playing this "I am Qin Shi Huang v50" game?
Xia Chi took a deep breath and quickly comforted Kang Na.
He crouched down to be at eye level with Kanna and explained earnestly, "Ignore it."
He pointed to his head, giving a disgusted look.
"There's something wrong with this guy."
"It thinks it's some kind of 'king' or 'throne,' but it's actually just a Nura with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). Its ability to talk is a special gift, but it's not very bright."
Kanna looked at him with suspicion, then at the Crowned Queen.
The Crowned King's lips twitched.
It wanted to argue, but seeing Xia Chi's look that said, "If you say another word, I'll expose your cabbage identity," it silently swallowed its words.
Forget it.
In order to regain their power, for the sake of the Ice Six-Tails...
It endured this grievance.
It tried to force a smile that said, "I'm Nyula, and I'm not very bright."
But that smile paired with that big head just looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
Kanna stared at its appearance for a while, then burst out laughing.
"It's so funny!"
The blue cotton bird chirped in her arms, as if in agreement.
The Crowned King's face darkened.
It took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
Forget it.
Don't argue with children.
It silently turned away, looking elsewhere, trying to maintain what little dignity it had left.
But that big head and the back view of him standing in the snow pretending to admire the scenery... it's just hilarious no matter how you look at it.
"Alright, alright, let's go inside, it's cold outside."
Xia Chi beckoned everyone to go inside.
The arrival of new faces like Calycerin and Vulpix unsurprisingly caused the already timid Nebula to hide again.
The little guy was just floating in the corner, curiously observing these new guests.
As soon as the Crested King's big head turned around, it darted back into the shadows with the speed of a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Only a wisp of stardust remained, slowly dissipating from the spot.
Xia Chi glanced at it but didn't pay any attention.
Bictini and Hoopa, on the other hand, got really into it.
The two little ones exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.
"Tini!"
Victini flew off in the direction where the little nebula had disappeared, its small wings flapping rapidly.
Hoopa followed closely behind, and a golden ring instantly unfolded in front of it. It plunged into the ring and emerged from another ring in the next second, already catching up with Victini.
"Wait, Hoopa!"
The two little ones disappeared into the shadows, one after the other.
Xia Chi withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.
With the little angel Victini around, Nebula should be coaxed out soon.
After all, he had personally witnessed countless times Victini's methods of "winning people's hearts".
Meanwhile, Fa Jie and Latias had already started preparing lunch.
Although there were a few more mouths to feed at noon, it did not cause Xia Chi any trouble.
That's the good thing about having a Hoopa.
There will never be a food crisis.
If you want to eat something, just have Hoopa create a loop connecting any place with ingredients, and they can be "airlifted" directly over.
Although there was a slight mishap last time, involving an innocent passerby...
But this time, Huba performed very well. Under Xia Chi's strict supervision, she kept taking out various ingredients from the ring without any "gifts".
An enticing aroma soon wafted from the kitchen.
I was almost moved to tears by the fact that they ate lunch with Ice Sixtails.
When the first dish was served, Yuki-Douji's eyes widened.
It was a plate of pan-fried fish fillets, with a golden-brown exterior and an enticing aroma.
Snow Child had never smelled anything so fragrant before.
It swallowed hard, staring longingly at the plate of fish fillets, but dared not move.
The sneezing bear was even more exaggerated, lying on the edge of the table with its whole body twitching, its little nose twitching, and drool almost dripping down its face.
Bingbao was relatively restrained, but she couldn't help glancing at the dining table frequently.
The most effective counter is the Ice-type Vulpix.
It sat there gracefully, its six tails neatly arranged behind it, its little head slightly raised, trying to maintain an elegant posture.
But when Zhenyi started serving the second, third, and fourth dishes...
Its gaze began to wander.
One dish after another was served.
Braised pork belly, steamed fish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, tree fruit salad, and a special platter of energy cubes...
The entire table was covered with food.
The Ice Six-tailed Foxes looked at the table full of food with a mixture of joy and fear.
What makes me happy is that I've never seen so much delicious food in my life.
What's terrifying is... if this is so good, could it be my "last meal before I'm beheaded"?
It's the kind of meal you're given before you die, and then they send you on your way.
Snow Child cautiously looked at Xia Chi, his big eyes filled with the question, "Are we going to be slaughtered?"
Xia Chi was amused by its little eyes.
Just as he was about to explain, Bictini flew back from outside.
The little guy somehow managed to coax the little nebula out.
The little nebula floated behind it, still somewhat timid, but at least it didn't hide back.
Victini immediately understood what was going on when she saw the terrified looks on the Ice Six-Tails' faces.
It flew to the side of the Ice Vulpix, stretched out its little paw, and gently patted the Ice Vulpix's head.
"Tini~ Tini Tini!"
It called out in a soft, babyish voice.
Ice Sixtails stared blankly at it.
Victini flew to the table again, picked up an energy cube from the plate, stuffed it into its mouth, and chewed it with relish.
Then it picked up another piece and handed it to Ice Sixtail.
Ice Sixtails hesitated for a moment, then took the energy cube and put it in its mouth.
Then, its eyes lit up.
"Ugh!"
It let out a joyful cry and turned to call out to its companions a few times.
The Snow Children were relieved and began to eat.
Then, the entire dining table turned into a small "battlefield".
Snow Child hugged a fish fillet bigger than his own face and ate it with grease dripping from his mouth.
The sneezing bear buried its head in the bowl and stuffed it into its mouth, making satisfied humming noises as it did so.
The Crown King, however, ate very restrainedly.
It sat there, with a small plate of specially made energy cubes in front of it.
This was specially prepared for the Zhenyi generator; it's good for restoring power.
It picked up a piece, put it in its mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Then he nodded slightly and picked up another piece.
Take another one...
All in all, we actually ate quite a lot.
But this guy is always concerned about his image. He has to examine each piece before eating it, and then "reluctantly" put it in his mouth, while keeping an expression of "it's nothing special" on his face.
But the claws reaching for the plate were moving at a noticeably faster and faster pace.
Xia Chi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at it.
Keep pretending.
Finally, the Ice Vulpix and the others stopped eating when they were too full to eat anymore.
Ice Sixtails' little belly also swelled up high, round and plump, just like a kitten that had just drunk its fill of milk.
It looked down at its belly, seemingly confused as to how it had suddenly become so big.
It looked exactly like a "chicken wing rice wrap".
Its tiny body and chubby belly are so cute it's almost unfair.
Seeing its appearance, Xia Chi couldn't help but get up and walk over, picking up the cute little guy without any hesitation.
Before the Ice Six-Tails could react, it found itself being lifted up by a pair of warm, large hands.
It blinked and met Xia Chi's gaze.
Those eyes held confusion and curiosity, but no fear.
Looking at its adorable appearance, Xia Chi smiled and gently rubbed the round little belly of the Ice Six-tailed Fox.
"Ugh!"
The Ice Vulpix let out a startled cry, and its six tails exploded instantly, freezing the entire Pokémon in place.
But soon, the comfort brought by the rubbing of its belly made it gradually relax.
It squinted its eyes and made a comfortable humming sound.
Meanwhile, the Crowned King strolled around Kanna's house.
Strictly speaking, this morning's distribution of relief food marks the first time in hundreds of years that it has descended the mountain.
For hundreds of years, it had been hiding deep in the Crown Snowfield, with almost no contact with the outside world.
So it had no idea what the outside world had changed into over the centuries.
It strolled slowly around Connor's house, its big head looking left and right like a curious baby.
Kanna's house isn't big, and the furniture is quite simple—
A table, a few chairs, an old-fashioned wall warmer, and several cabinets.
But it was very clean and tidy, giving off a simple and warm feeling.
King Rai-King took a stroll around and nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm...not bad."
It was concise in its language, and its tone carried a sense of satisfaction.
"It seems that even without me, my people are living quite well..."
Summer Pond:
'
No, where did you get the idea that Kanna's family "lives well"?
