Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 381: Did it scare you? (5k, supplemented on 5.18th)
Was pushed out of the winery.

Bai Zhen is still in a daze now, Shui Yun's change is too fast.

Bai Zhen turned and looked at Shui Yun.

Shui Yun had a look on her face that said "keep away from strangers".

Bai Zhen thought to himself, "Am I too complacent? It must be very sudden to be kissed like that, right?"

Shui Yun said, "You should be able to find your sister if you go to Ai Cao's tea and snack shop now."

Bai Zhen scratched his head and suddenly began to regret his excitement. He didn't expect that he couldn't hold back at such a critical moment.

But Shuiyun was really attractive at that time. Any other normal person would definitely not be able to resist.

Bai Zhen calmed down a little and decided in his heart that he would compensate Shui Yun well later.

But now he nodded and prepared to go find Huoya first.

Bai Zhen turned and left. Looking at Bai Zhen's leaving back, Shui Yun felt both shy and regretful.

She didn't expect that she would give her first kiss like this, but unfortunately it was interrupted by a passing Felyne cat.

She really didn't expect Bai Zhen to be so bold at that time.

Thinking of the previous scene, Shui Yun felt her cheeks getting hot: "Be a little tougher, it seems to be good."

But soon Shui Yun sighed softly, feeling regretful: "This kind of thing can only be regarded as a flash in the pan, right?"

Shuiyun knows that she has no charm.

Bai Zhen was a little out of control, probably because so many things happened in the past month, so he was a little excited.

After he marries my sister, this kind of thing will never happen again, right?
As if he knew what Shui Yun was thinking, Bai Zhen suddenly stopped where he was and turned to look at Shui Yun.

The moment Shui Yun and Bai Zhen looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat.

Bai Zhen looked at Shui Yun quietly.

After three or four seconds, Shui Yun felt even more puzzled: "Why did he stop so suddenly? Did I just speak out my true feelings? Or is my expression weird?"

Shui Yun touched her face with both hands and checked it quickly: "There's nothing strange."

Just when Shui Yun was extremely nervous, Bai Zhen strode in front of Shui Yun again.

Bai Zhen approached Shui Yun, and at the same time he took Shui Yun's hand and said very seriously: "What I said before I left was not a joke."

What did you say before?
Shui Yun remembered that Bai had said something similar to a proposal before.

Shui Yun looked at the seriousness in Bai Zhen's eyes, and she suddenly realized that Bai Zhen was not joking.

"Isn't this too sudden?! And did they skip some important step? Even if they want to get married, they should still date first, right? Could this actually be a custom in another world?"

Shui Yun's mind was filled with mixed thoughts for a moment.

Bai Zhen did not let Shui Yun answer right away. He said, "Please think about it carefully. It's okay to answer me later."

After waving goodbye to Shuiyun, Bai Zhen headed towards Yanhuo Village.

After Bai Zhen left, Shui Yun squatted down shyly. She covered her face with her hands, blushing and burning. After a while of shyness, she finally calmed down a little: "It's all because of what he said. No matter how you think about it, this order is wrong."

On the other side, Bai Zhen passed through the portal in the basement and came to Yanhuo Village.

A lot of things happened in the village during the month he was away.

The first and most important point is that the intensity of the Hundred Dragons Night Parade has dropped sharply.

Before, Feiye Fortress would be attacked approximately every three or four days. Now the intensity has decreased, and it will take about ten days or so to encounter a small-scale beast tide. Only one-third of the village guards are needed to defend it.

About the Tiger Dragon and the Wind Dragon.

The Yuanhulong has not been found yet, and it is possible that it has died in the wild. After all, it suffered such serious injuries that the possibility of it surviving is extremely low.

As for the Wind Dragon, Nimo and Nitai once went out together to look for each other's traces, but the wilderness is so large, and the Wind Dragon usually flies above the clouds. So far, the two have only found some traces of ancient dragon species and confirmed that there are traces of ancient dragon species behind this disaster.

Today the village has regained some of its former peace.

Bai Zhen was strolling on the streets of the village. The villagers passing by greeted him warmly. Bai Zhen was just walking along the way, holding in his hands many gifts given by the villagers, young and old.

Some are fish that were just caught today, some are rice that is not grown on a large scale on the farm, and there are also porcelain, sake and so on.

These things are all thanks to Bai Zhen for helping to protect the village, and for the free beer that Bai Zhen treated everyone to a month ago.

Along the way, Bai Zhen also saw that many Pokémon had already integrated into the Flame Village.

The silk-spinning spider has found a job in the home of a cloth shop owner.

The silk thread spit out by the spider is comparable to metal wire, but very soft, which is very suitable for making lining for hunters.

In addition, Yan Shibao, who was subdued by the salt shop owner, not only got a stable residence, but also played his own advantages.

These Pokémon were previously invited by Bai Zhen to help defend the Jade Leaf Fortress. Now that the tension in the Hundred Dragons Night Parade has eased a lot, some of them have been loved and conquered by the kind and simple villagers.

When Bai Zhen arrived at Ai Cao's tea and snack shop, he saw Huo Ya chatting with Ai Cao from a distance.

Huoya had his back to him, but Ai Cao saw Bai Zhen first.

Just as Ai Cao was about to say hello, Bai Zhen made a gesture to keep quiet. Ai Cao's eyes rolled around and she knew what Bai Zhen was thinking.

She withdrew her gaze calmly.

Bai Zhen made a detour, preparing to go around the blind spot to scare Huo Ya.

He quietly went around behind a cherry tree. He just pounced out to scare Huoya, but he couldn't see Huoya at all, only Aicao.

Bai Zhen was still wondering where Huo Ya had gone when suddenly someone with the ball bumped into him from behind.

"Wow~!"

Huoya hugged Bai Zhen from behind and put her arms around his neck.

"Did I scare you?" Huoya giggled, and then taught Bai Zhen earnestly: "You let your guard down at the last moment. If you want to scare me, you should be more careful~"

Bai Zhen smiled slightly, and in an instant he disappeared from the spot.

Huoya's entire body weight was originally on Bai Zhen. Bai Zhen suddenly disappeared, and she lost her support and fell straight to the ground.

But just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands grabbed her waist from behind.

Bai Zhen used a little force and held Huoya in his arms. Huoya faced Bai Zhen, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

What an amazing ability!

Bai Zhen smiled and asked Huo Ya the same question she had asked before: "Did it scare you?"

Huoya naturally hugged Bai Zhen and smiled, "Indeed, a little bit~ Congratulations on becoming stronger again~"

Huoya was sincerely happy for Bai Zhen's growth.

That feeling of happiness was even happier than when she became stronger.

Looking at Huoya's smile like the warm sun, the longing that had accumulated for a month fermented to the limit at this moment.

Bai Zhen gently held Huoya's face with one hand.

Huoya's body trembled slightly, and she looked directly into Bai Zhen's eyes. Ever since she learned the [Yangchun Storm] move, she has been able to feel emotions such as love and hate.

From Bai Zhen's eyes, she felt the love as sweet as honey.

Infected by the strong longing, Huoya leaned forward slightly. She stood on tiptoes and approached Bai Zhen, ready to be picked.

Encouraged, Bai Zhen lowered his head and gave her a light kiss.

After the kiss, Bai Zhen hugged Huo Ya tightly in his arms, greedily sniffing the elegant fragrance of her hair.

"I am back."

Bai Zhen said in a low voice.

During this month, he could say that there wasn't a single day when he didn't want to come back. Now he was finally back and saw the two people he loved most.

The feeling of security and satisfaction really made him extremely addicted.

"Welcome back~"

Huoya hugged Bai Zhen with her backhanded head, also enjoying this peaceful moment.

There is nothing that makes you feel happier than being hugged tightly by the one you love most.

"Cough cough~" Just as Bai Zhen and Huo Ya were hugging each other, a cough was heard beside them, breaking the wonderful atmosphere.

Bai Zhen looked in the direction of the voice, and beside them, Ai Cao was holding a tray in both hands, covering half of her face. She looked at Bai Zhen and Huo Ya with a blushing face, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

She felt like she was watching a fairy tale.

Next to Ai Cao was Manjusri, whom he had not seen for a month.

It was Manjusri who had just interrupted them with a cough.

Wenshu had a teasing expression on his face and joked, "They are really in love. They are hugging each other in public. Be careful not to corrupt Ai Cao."

Only then did Huoya notice that there were so many people surrounding her.

She gently pushed Bai Zhen away, took two steps back, her cheeks flushed.

Ai Cao didn't expect that Wenshu would bring the topic to her. Ai Cao quickly denied it: "That's not true!"

Wenshu came behind Ai Cao, put his hands on her shoulders, and said as if to defend her: "It's too much to flirt in front of single people~"

"Huh?" Ai Cao didn't expect that Manjusri would use her as a 'shield'.

Wenshu continued: "Today was supposed to be the day for the new product launch, but because there were two people showing off their affection, other customers didn't dare to come into the store to consume. It's really annoying."

Upon hearing this, Ai Cao immediately broke away from Wenshu and protested to him with a little dissatisfaction: "I don't think so! Please don't hide behind me and say things that will cause others to misunderstand!"

Manjusri laughed, patted Aicao on the shoulder and said it was a joke.

Manjusri said these words just to tease Huoya.

As expected, Huoya was now so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

At this time, Bai Zhen finally took action. He reached out and hugged Huo Ya, who was half a body away from him, and held her in his arms again.

Bai Zhen: "Sorry, I'm a little too excited because I haven't been back for a long time."

Bai Zhen's little hug made Huo Ya open her beautiful eyes in surprise.

Seeing this, Manjusri on the opposite side's eyes lit up.

"Wow! What happened during the benefactor's absence this time? Why did he become so proactive after returning?"

Huoya looked at Bai Zhen beside her with a blushing face. She also noticed that Bai Zhen became much more proactive this time after returning.

Bai Zhen said to Ai Cao, "Ai Cao, please make 500 skewers of new flavored rabbit dumplings for me to take back."

500 skewers?
Ai Cao thought that Bai Zhen bought so much at one time because he heard the strange words said by Manjusri.

Ai Cao: "Please don't listen to Sister Wenshu's nonsense. There is absolutely no such thing as affecting business!"

Bai Zhen laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, I want to pack some food and bring it back to the Felynns on the farm. I haven't been back for a while, and I want to reward everyone."

Seeing that Bai Zhen didn't seem to be joking, Ai Cao breathed a sigh of relief. Then she smiled and shouted, "500 skewers of new flavored rabbit dumplings, I'll make them for you right now. Thank you for your patronage!"

It takes a lot of time to make 500 skewers of freshly made rabbit dumplings on the spot. Bai Zhen first took Huo Ya to find a table and sit down and wait.

Wenshu also ordered a set meal from Aicao and sat down opposite Bai Zhen and Huoya.

As soon as he sat down, Wenshu asked Bai Zhen curiously: "My great benefactor, where have you been for the past month? I went to the farm to look for you several times before but couldn't find you."

"Me? I went to a lot of places this time. I went around the gate of the spirit world, went to a cave ten thousand meters under the sea, and then went to the moon. I stayed in space for a week."

It was just a little joke just now, and Bai Zhen knew that Manjusri was just joking with him, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

"The spirit world? Undersea cave? Space?"

She knew all these words, but when they were put together she had no idea what they meant.

"The spirit world is where the souls of the dead go. Undersea caves are caves located deep in the sea. As for space," Bai Zhen pointed to the sky and said, "space is higher than the sky. There is no oxygen and no gravity. If there is no direct sunlight in space, the temperature can be colder than the breath of a snow demon beast."

"So that's it, so that's it." Manjusri nodded as if he understood.

But based on Bai Zhen's understanding of Manjusri, he knew that Manjusri didn't understand at all.

Bai Zhen ignored Manjusri. He took out the pearl he found on the seabed and the moon stone he found on the moon and gave them to Huoya. At the same time, he also gave Huoya the [Xie Mi's Gratitude Flower] accessory.

The flower of gratitude is something similar to a hairpin.

After putting it on Huoya, Huoya looks even more beautiful than before, and the faint floral fragrance released by the flowers is also very charming.

The flower of gratitude is extremely versatile in purifying toxins and slowly restoring the body's vitality and abnormal conditions, so it is just right to give it to Fire Bud.

Looking at the things that Bai Zhen gave to Huoya, Wenshu was so envious.

These things are worth a lot of money.

Wenshu looked at Bai Zhen expectantly, hoping that Bai Zhen would bring any souvenirs.
At this time, Ai Cao came over with the meal ordered by Wenshu. She placed the meal in front of Wenshu and asked Bai Zhen curiously, "Brother Bai Zhen, what were you talking about space just now?"

Bai Zhen didn't speak softly on purpose just now.

It was normal for Ai Cao to hear that.

Bai Zhen explained: "To put it simply, I went to the moon."

"You went to the moon?" Ai Cao couldn't imagine how Bai Zhen did it, but she still chose to believe Bai Zhen. She asked curiously, "What does the moon look like? Is there a palace there?"

"There is no palace. There is no life on it. If you want to know what the moon looks like, it is actually a gray desert."

Bai Zhen showed the photos he took to Ai Cao. Ai Cao took a look at the photos and found that the moon did not seem as beautiful as in a fairy tale.

She had a feeling of disillusionment.

"By the way, this is the meteorite I brought back from the universe. It may not be of much use, but it can be used as a souvenir."

Bai Zhen took out an apple-sized stony-iron meteorite from his shadow.

This meteorite was a small part of the large meteorite that he had collected when he smashed Deoxys.

Ai Cao took the meteorite and felt it was icy cold in his hand. The meteorite looked light red overall. It didn't look as beautiful as a gem, but it had great commemorative significance.

Ai Cao happily thanked Bai Zhen for the meteorite: "I will cherish it!"

Ai Cao received the souvenirs. Wenshu looked at Bai Zhen expectantly, but seeing that Bai Zhen did not take them out for a long time and instead chatted about some interesting things with Huo Ya and Ai Cao, she sighed in disappointment.

Manjusri lay on the table like a deflated ball, looking listless.

The look of loss was clearly written on his face.

Seeing this, Bai Zhen stopped teasing Wenshu. He took out a meteorite of the same size from his shadow and gave it to Wenshu.

"I'm not kidding you anymore. Here. This is a gift for you. The metal inside is very hard. You can make it into a knife or something."

The strength of the metal in this meteorite is rare in the Monster Hunter world.

The expression on Wenshu's face changed very quickly. She held the meteorite in both hands and laughed, "You are so generous, my benefactor!"

Bai Zhen took out a new gift.

He handed a ball of light to Manjusri and said, "This is for you."

"what is this?"

“You’ll know once you wear it.”

Manjusri curiously followed Bai Zhen's instructions and stuffed the light ball into his body.

The next second, a mask that looked like a puppy appeared on her face. Looking closely, it was a little Yorkie.

Bai Zhen then introduced: "This is [Little York's Radar Mask]. It allows you to sense the situation within a 500-meter radius. For you who hunt frequently, this mask can help you track prey and prevent accidents before they happen."

Wenshu tried the mask as Bai Zhen instructed, and sure enough, a large amount of information within 500 meters around her was displayed in her mind.

She immediately understood how powerful this tool was!
Wenshu was so excited that he wanted to rush over and hug Bai Zhen: "My great benefactor, this is a divine weapon! A divine weapon! This is definitely the best gift I have ever received!"

Bai Zhen held Wenshu's face with one hand to prevent him from holding his head and banging it against her breastplate.

Bai Zhen understood why Manjusri was so excited. Compared with full armor, this kind of accessories that can reflect the power of Pokémon are the most suitable for her.

With this radar mask, Manjusri can be prepared in advance even if he encounters the resentful tiger dragon again.

Bai Zhen: "You can define this shape yourself. As long as the area covered is sufficient, the effect will be activated."

Just when Bai Zhen was instructing Wenshu on how to use the accessories.

Bai Zhen saw Nimo and Nitai who had returned from their mission!
