Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 427 I don't want to meet you again~ We will meet again soon~ (Supplement 6.11)
"Do you really think I'm prettier than those dancers?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Bai Zhen replied calmly.

Beautiful things are beautiful, and there is no point in lying and saying they are not beautiful.

After being suddenly praised by Bai Zhen, Lingling's original depression disappeared and her mood became much better.

As a result, the performances of the dancers became much more pleasing to the eye.

It's not a big deal that I just like watching the dancers dance.

It is normal for men to like watching dancers dance. My father spends hundreds of thousands of gold every month to hire these dancers and musicians.

If I can't attract Bai Zhen's attention, then wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of gold my father spends every month be wasted?
The maid quickly changed the pot of wine for Bai Zhen and brought a new wine cup.

While watching the show, Bai Zhen prepared to taste other wines from the Fire Country as a simple survey.

Lingling took the wine jug from Bai Zhen very naturally and helped Bai Zhen pour the wine.

Lingling said with a smile: "Leave the pouring to me~"

Bai Zhen thought Lingling was still angry, but after a closer look, he found that her mood had completely improved.

Wouldn't it be possible that her mood would completely improve just because I praised her?

Bai Zhen picked up the wine cup and took a sip of the distilled liquor. The spicy taste tasted quite good.

"Is it delicious?" Lingling asked Bai Zhen expectantly.

Bai Zhen wanted to verify his guess, so he said, "The wine is just so-so, but the person pouring it is pretty, so the wine tastes better."

Bai Zhen paid attention to Lingling's expression changes with his peripheral vision and saw that Lingling's face was smiling more.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This woman is really easy to deal with."

After being praised heavily by Bai Zhen again, Lingling felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

What? It turns out this man can also say some coaxing words~
In fact, as long as he treats me well, this princess will be very generous.

Doesn't he have someone else he likes? It's totally fine for him to marry one or two more wives.

In the history of the Fire Nation, there were many leaders who married more than one wife. Compared with those leaders, Bai Zhen was undoubtedly more outstanding, so it was normal for him to marry several wives.

Lingling poured Bai Zhen another glass of wine. She was still immersed in Bai Zhen's praise and felt very happy.

At this time, the maids also walked into the reception room carrying the special delicacies of the Fire Nation and placed the piles of exquisite delicacies on everyone's small tables.

Lingling moved a little closer to Bai Zhen, almost sticking to him.

Lingling picked up a piece of exquisite pastry on the dining table. She held the pastry in one hand and used the other hand to hold it underneath to catch the crumbs.

She handed the cake to Bai Zhen's mouth and said happily: "This is my favorite snack, you try it~"

Bai Zhen naturally didn't let Lingling do it for him. He took the food from her and ate it himself.

While eating, Bai Zhen gave him earnest advice: "Never be alone with other men in the future."

"Why? Are you jealous?"

"No, I'm worried that you've been cheated. Not all men can be as patient as I am. If they do something to you, it will be too late for you to regret it."

"It seems like I'm like this to everyone. Before you came, any man who said a word to me would be considered a reward~"

"Really?" Bai Zhen looked at Lingling suspiciously and asked, "So, the first time you spoke to me by the lake, you were actually giving me a reward?"

The answer is of course no, but Lingling still hummed: "That's right, so thank me well. It's your great honor to be able to talk to me."

"Yes, yes, thank you so much Princess Lingling for the reward." Bai Zhen replied in a very perfunctory manner.

Under normal circumstances, Lingling would definitely be unhappy, but she is in a very good mood now and would not care about such a small matter at all.

She was still immersed in what Bai Zhen had said before.

It turns out that he can be patient when he is with me. I thought he was not attracted to me at all.

I once again thought of the person Bai Zhen had mentioned many times that he liked.

Lingling asked Bai Zhen curiously: "Have you mentioned before that you have someone you like very much?"

"Hmm?" Bai Zhen, who was watching the show, turned around and looked at Lingling strangely. He didn't know why she brought up this matter at this time. Bai Zhen nodded and admitted, "Hmm."

Lingling: "Can you tell me what kind of woman she is?"

Bai Zhen turned around and continued to enjoy the show in front of him. He replied calmly, "What kind of women? This question is too broad. I can only say that they are my sun and moon. For them, I would be enemies with the whole world. It doesn't matter."

The joy on Lingling's face visibly diminished.

"Hmm? Ah. Hmm~ So that's how it is. It turns out it's not just one person but two people."

It doesn't matter whether it's one person or two people at this moment.

What’s important is Bai Zhen’s evaluation.

It turns out that to him, it is like the moon and the sun.
Well, I can't say I'm jealous.
Well, I can't say I'm jealous, I'm just a little envious
Lingling moved half a body to the side, creating a little distance. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to eat her dinner sullenly and without saying a word.

I really am. Why did I ask such a question? Now that I hear the answer, I am actually upset.

Lingling's mood became very bad. She really wanted to ask Bai Zhen who he liked more between her and the two people she mentioned.

But thinking that this was a very annoying question, she wisely did not ask it.

She found excuses for herself in her heart.

Actually, this is normal. He and I have only known each other for a few days, but the person he likes may have been with him for more than ten years to have such feelings.

It's just a pipe dream for me to want to surpass others who have spent more than ten years in just a few days.

Moreover.

If he could forget the person he likes and fall in love with this princess in just a few days, doesn't that mean Bai Zhen is a super frivolous and casual person?

If he is really such a person, I would not like him. On the contrary, I would despise him very much!
Such a scumbag is not worthy of the favor of this princess.

As Lingling thought about this, she seemed to have figured something out, and her mood instantly improved.

She thought about how to ask the question and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

She leaned slightly towards Bai Zhen, looked at his profile carefully, and asked seriously, "Bai Zhen, can you answer a question for me honestly?"

Bai Zhen, who was still watching the show, didn't notice the seriousness in Lingling's tone. He glanced at Lingling and then turned his attention back to the dancers. He casually said, "Ask."

Lingling calmed herself down, suppressed her shyness and asked, "Do you think I'm attractive?"

She didn't ask me directly whether I like you or not.

Bai Zhen answered subconsciously: "Of course it is attractive."

Lingling used her beautiful appearance to destroy the master hunter team in one fell swoop and even turned one of them into a wanted criminal.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, if we trace back to where the most obvious conflict between the hunter leader and Ale arose, it must have started when the hunter leader revealed in front of everyone that Ale's wife was pregnant with her second child.

"Then if, I mean if, if you met me before the person you like now, would you like me?"

Lingling looked at Bai Zhen nervously. She wanted to hear the answer from Bai Zhen herself.

Bai Zhen's attention was mostly on the dance at the moment; the performances of the dancers had already reached their climax.

Bai Zhen spoke smoothly, and without turning his head, he continued: "I think no one would dislike you, right? Not only do you look absolutely beautiful, but you also have a beautiful soul inside your pretty skin. You are kind, innocent, brave, and determined. It's really hard for anyone to dislike you, huh?"

Bai Zhen suddenly realized that he seemed to have been talking a lot again.

He turned around and saw Lingling's face was red all the way to her ears.

I was so shy.

Bai Zhen thought about what he had said, and it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't say. He felt that saying this might cause misunderstanding, so Bai Zhen added without much concern.

"Of course this is just if. Now I just like my sun and moon."

Bai Zhen was just praising Lingling. He naturally didn't think Lingling would fall in love with him.

He had praised Riko and Qishu generously before, and he had also praised Zhulan and Nemo, but the other four didn't react much.

In this regard, he will not lie or be stingy.

And I have clearly stated that I have someone I like, so no one should be willing to like me for the sake of being boring.

Lingling lowered her head and blushed. She was a little afraid to look up at Bai Zhen, for fear that she would reveal a strange expression.

Why can this man always say such embarrassing things so calmly? I don't know what expression to use to face him now.
The dancers' performance ended, and Lingling's shyness grew. She asked Bai Zhen quietly, "Can I ask how far you and those two have progressed? Are you dating? Or are you engaged or married?"

Lingling had already prepared for the worst.

If they were in love, they should be discussing marriage now, right? However, to Lingling's surprise, Bai Zhen seemed to have made no progress at all.

Bai Zhen answered honestly: "To be honest, there is no progress right now. I am planning to confess my love."

Lingling was overjoyed. She didn't expect the situation to be so much better than she thought!

It hasn't even officially started yet, so don't I have a great chance?

At that moment, Bai Zhen asked Ling Ling again: "By the way, do you know any way to increase the success rate of confession?"

"You ask me?" Lingling widened her eyes in disbelief.

Who would ask a question like this? Isn't he afraid that I will deliberately cause trouble and make his confession fail?

Although I would never do such a tasteless thing, this was a bit too unprepared.

Lingling thought for a moment and answered honestly: "I heard from the maids that there is such a hot spring in our Fire Country. It is said that as long as you go in and soak in it with the person you love, the two of you will be together forever. I am the only one who is so generous and would provide you with such information. Thank me well~"

Bai Zhen was not vague at all and promised: "If it really works, I will definitely thank you very much!"

Lingling snorted in her heart.

Naturally, she would not say such disgusting words as asking Bai Zhen to choose between those two women and herself.

But, everything has to be prioritized, right?
It doesn’t matter if Bai Zhen wants to marry as many wives as he wants, and there is precedent for this, but there can only be one main wife!
As a future wife, you must be open-minded.

Now is the time to show your generosity.

Lingling didn't think that the two village women could be better than her or better than her. That was simply a fantasy.

"So when are you going to bring them to the Fire Nation? This princess will entertain them personally."

Lingling added in her mind: "It's a good opportunity to see what kind of women Bai Zhen likes, and let them see the difference between women."

Bai Zhen thought for a moment.

It's winter now, so it would be nice to go to the Land of Fire to soak in hot springs.

There are many volcanoes here, and the number and quality of hot springs are better than those in Jieyun Village.

But thinking that there were many things waiting for him to deal with recently, Bai Zhen couldn't guarantee the time and said, "Come back when you are free."

"How about we come tomorrow? Rayquaza flies so fast anyway, we can reach the Land of Fire early tomorrow morning, right?"

"Not possible these few days. Have you forgotten that I'm going to defeat Tianhui Dragon?"

"How about waiting until you defeat Tianhui Dragon?"

"That won't work either. Our Yanhuo Village has not been peaceful recently. I can't take them away from the village for too long."

If Tianhui Dragon can successfully defeat them, there will be the Excited Golden Lion and the Wind and Thunder Dragon waiting for him.

There are also gym battles involving five other gyms, as well as the matter of the Emerald Slate.

In short, there are a lot of things to do.

If I really want to come to the Fire Nation again in the future, I will have to wait until I’m done with this busy period.

"Okay then." Lingling felt a little regretful, but was not discouraged.

Dinner lasted for two hours and Bai Zhen drank a lot of wine.

After dinner, Bai Zhen received a total of 125 million in material sales fees.

Counting all the income, Bai Zhen earned 464 million from this mission.

Of this, 230 million came from rescue fees and the agreed income of 100 million from the leader of the hunters.

In addition, with the help of Lingling, Bai Zhen also learned the brewing method of red wine, a monster wine.

In the square inside the castle tower, Lingling came alone to see Bai Zhen off.

As the cold winter wind blew, the slightly tipsy Bai Zhen became much more sober.

Lingling held an antique wooden box in her hand and handed it to Bai Zhen, saying, "This is for you."

"What's this?" Bai Zhen took the small wooden box curiously. Lingling explained, "This is the 100 million rescue fee I paid you. 80 of it is for the pot of porridge and 30 bottles of recovery medicine, and the remaining is my own rescue fee."

After Bai Zhen figured out what it was, he returned the small wooden box to Lingling and said, "I can't accept this."

"Why?"

"Isn't this your dowry? After I accept it, how can you give it to the future husband you really like? And your father has already paid me your share of the money, right?"

"I"

Lingling really wanted to say that she had actually decided who to give the money to.

But she also knew very well that if she told him now, Bai Zhen would definitely refuse.

Lingling took back her small wooden box. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will give this to my favorite person."

Bai Zhen nodded with satisfaction, he turned around and released Rayquaza from the ball.

Bai Zhen rode on Rayquaza's head, ready to return to Flame Village now.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, Lingling still felt reluctant to see Bai Zhen leaving.

If I give up my princess status now and ask him to take me away, will he agree?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she shook her head and denied it.

As a princess, she doesn't have that many choices, and her identity as a princess is not something she can give up just like that.

If she really did it and Bai Zhen really agreed, then Bai Zhen would be wanted like the Ale hunter.

She didn't want to cause trouble to the person she loved because of her willfulness.

She asked Bai Zhen expectantly: "We will have a chance to meet again, right?"

Bai Zhen was not sure whether he could come to the Fire Kingdom.

He had no reason to come here.

Even though hot springs sound great, and they have developed to the point where they can take a hot spring bath together, then no matter what, the confession will at least have a 90% chance of success, right?
If that's the case, then it would be very simple and easier to go to any place with hot springs, or even create a hot spring on your own island using the volcano.

As for the farm's future trade, if he really wants to trade with the Fire Nation one day, he most likely will not come to the Fire Nation in person, but will send Felyne to negotiate on his behalf.

Of course, Bai Zhen didn't say anything final. He said, "We will definitely meet again if we are destined to."

Rayquaza slowly raised his head. At the last moment before leaving, Bai Zhen also gave Lingling the best wishes and said, "You are a person favored by the Fire Spirit King. You will definitely get what you want. May you find your beloved one in the future. Goodbye."

After saying that, in the clear night sky, Rayquaza took Bai Zhen and flew into the sky.

Lingling stood there, watching Bai Zhen and Rayquaza go away.

She murmured, "Have you found the one you love most?"

Lingling took a deep breath and a smile returned to her face.

She whispered, "I don't want to meet you again~ We will meet again soon~"

After saying this, Lingling returned to the castle tower with light steps.

She already had a very detailed plan in her mind.

In the night sky, Rayquaza took Bai Zhen to the stratosphere. There were no clouds blocking the view, and they could see the bright moon and the dazzling stars in the sky very clearly.

Bai Zhen was admiring this scene. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to capture this beautiful scene.

"If Lingling saw this scene, wouldn't she cry too?"

Bai Zhen laughed.

Smiling, Bai Zhen found that he did have reasons to come to the Fire Kingdom.

He didn't feel anything when they just separated, but at this moment he actually had a very slight sense of regret.

Of course, compared to the slight feeling of regret, what he felt even stronger in his heart now was the urgency and anticipation of wanting to go home.

Compared to the one month in the Hoenn region, this mission was not as grand or dangerous.

But he was more looking forward to seeing Huoya and Shuiyun than last time.

This feeling grows day by day and does not change with what happens.

Bai Zhen patted Liekong's head and said anxiously: "Let's go home quickly!"
